NATIONAL €DITORIAL ASSOCIATION Ie eae a CIRCULATION OVER 7,000 COPIES EACH WEEK EDITORIAL It's time for the Government t the crack-pots crack down ( If our hearing isn't folks In Bellefonte who war is against President failing us till have t Roosevelt Now is the time for the people of the nation welgh the mentality of Congressmen who voted against the fortification of Guam Advice to Labor: Take advantage of the oppor- tunity that now presents itsell and save some mon- ey: it will come In handy when the war is over This is not meant for a pun, but there is a lot of irony in the thought that over a period of a few years, we exported 20000.000 tons of prime melting scrap which we now need With all the talk about the Pacific, where Japan is “raising hell” while the Sun shines, the vital the- atres of the present world struggle are the North At- lantic, the British isles and Near East and Soviet Russia, It will be good news to many Americans that the Department of Justice has at least commenced sedition prosecutions against individuals who are, apparently, guilty of subversive acts designed to dis- rupt the war effort of this country, It is understood that actions will be brought against the editors of subversive pubilcations and the leaders of subver- sive organizations, Every individual who attempts to retard the war program or damage the morale of the nation, especially the armed forces, will be prosecuted. Certainly when we are fighting an all-out war against Germany, Italy and Japan, we should not permit enemy aliens in this country to enjoy any liberties that are not granted American residents in the Axis countries, The experience of the democra- cles in the present war will undoubtedly lead to a reconsideration of our naturalization laws in an ef- fort to prevent foreign agents {rom coming into this country to secure citizenship in order to use its priv- lleges as an aid to their own countries’ action hostile to the United States. rs mse————— nt General Douglas MacArthur has given the people of the United Nations a splendid motto, saying to the members of the Australian Parliament: “We shall win or we shall die.” These words represent more than a motto; they tell the absolute truth about the democracies and the citizens of countries now fight! for their lives, It is inconceivable that ron ain people would be willing to live under the slavery that would be their lot if Germany and Japan ruled the world “Liberty and the pursuit of happiness” would be ended and, after that, life as ve know it would not be worth very much, The free men of the world are united today in a fight for existence. Tatsunosuke Kobayashi prominent alien Jap- anese businessman of Honolulu, recently died in a hospital after taking poison, Newsy dispatches say that the Japanese wrote a note saying that “my acts 4p to now have been a mistake” and begging “for- giveness of the American Government” The note also admonished his employes and close friends: “From now on, obey American laws and please strive earnestly for the American Government and society.” No facts are avallable as to what were the acts of this alien but the presumption Is that he had some- thing to do with the treacherous assault upon the United States at Pearl Harbor, Anyway, the incident ls perplexing, Interesting and thought-provoking a. Certain Congressmen who opposed adequate national defense and matters like the fortification of Guam are on the anxious bench. Naturally, they seek to establish by their votes, since December au record that will erase pacifist and isolationist ten- dencies before the war, They hope that the turn of events will make It possible for them to get by at the November election on this basis, but there 8 no way for them to be sure. Obviously the Con- gressmen who opposed appropriations for defense and lambasted the foreign policies of the govern. ment before December are doing what they can to create other issues in the publie mind. Bome of them sven seek to create the impression that they were against our foreign policy because of their knowledge that the nation was unprepared for war, The argu- ment implies that if we had beeni properly prepared, they would have adopted another attitude However, in most cases, they realize that the argument can suceeed only if the public forgets many votes cast “against appropriations for the Army and the Navy. i | | Proprietors | Editor | Associate Editor | NEXT SIX MONTHS TO TELL LENGTH OF WAR The next six months should tell us approximate. ly how long the war will last and measure the war effort that the United States will have to make to bring victory to the United Nations We do not say that the next six months will decide the winner of the great struggle because as Winston Churchill so well says, only mismanagement of the power against the Axis can bring us defeat, There are pow arrayed against the Axis nations the manpower and the resources that, given time, will beat them to death, The business of the Unitea Nations, in 1942, is to make certain that the Axis pays a full price for any gains that are made, either In Russia, the Near East, China, India, Australia and on the oceans of the world War Trend Against the Axis It might be a good Idea to reflect a bit on the Aneral trend of the struggle, After two years and a half of bitter battling the Germans are no nearer a decision than they were when Hitler gave the or- der to march Into Poland. The Nazis are slowly los- ing the advantages that belonged to them when the war started and gradually the forces against them are equalling and surpassing their military power In the Far East, the Japs are reaping gains due to geography, the preoccupation of their enemies with other battles and the preparations made for their blitz war. Given time, they will be hard-press- ed to hold their lines, much less move to attack fresh lands. Meanwhile slowly the I against them are being placed for effective use wees Bitter Fighting Ahead This does not mean that Germany and Japan are unable to wage a hard-hitting war in 1942. On the contrary, it intimates that they must do so In a supreme effort ta win before their enemies can mobilize superior force against them. Hence, the ex. pectation of an all-out bid for victory by the Nazis, which may rival the astonishing power of 1918- drive in France th was the dying of the Kaiser's cohorts The coming We will hear bad n good news the latter depend Upon the outcome of approaching offensive It and be f« by idence the Axl numbered, even if the at effort half-year will ome ee bitter fighting with Hitlers fall to achieve victory v that lowed defini the days are uncertain North Atlantic a Vital Area t} I Ll e task of keeping open Lents State ur defense, as re iense against Germany { I forcements for the British doubt our preeminent job does not permit extended r British importance consider other to Tr and areas which stand must be of Germany net Aokht + Wal LEO » Near East, where a union revent oss to Hitler if cessary Alaska Ferret acts ' at offensive ac t the Jap- rote ww Sout INVASION Chinese Manpower Minus Supplies We come next to China, where a brave people a heroic Latte, Here ig an army that awaits uly the tools of war to carry the war to the Jap- anese.

The editor condemns the sabotage of the na- tional war effort by this “Axis-minded magazine” but what burns him up is the idea that it should be regarded as a Catholic paper. Few intelligent persons believe that this propa- ganda sheet represents Catholic opinion ip this country, but the fact that it was founded by Father Coughlin and ig sold at the doors of some churches on Sunday makes useful and timely the indignant repudiation pubished in behalf “of the good name of the Church and of Catholic journalism” by a weekly which is the diocesan organ of ishop Joseph P. Hurley, until 1940 an official of the Becretariat of State of the Vatican. “Social Justice is not a Catholic paper,” the edi- torial asserts. “It does not reflect Catholic views. It does not acknowledge or obey any Catholic author- ity. Indeed, it has on various occasions made bitter attacks on those authorities. x x x Despite its mock concern for the welfare of our country, despite its peculiar brand of piety this magazine is both un- satriotic and un-Christian.”"—The New York Times, ‘disloyal GERMAN PROPAGANDA ACTIVE The people of the United States should be con. stantly on the alert against propaganda spread by German agents and anti-British extremists, There are numerous individuals in each group operating in the United States. Along much the same line, are innumerable stories about trouble in Northern Ireland between troops of the United States and British troops, for example, that American soldiers are to be used in a coup against Eire, Other faked narratives tell of riots in Irish towns, of robberies, of places wrecked by U 8. troops and of fights between our soldiers and others, Robert E. Post, newspaper correspondent, who investigated the matter, says the falsehoods are be- Ing widely circulated In Northern Ireland and are event heard in London. The Germans are spreading the propaganda over the air and are receiving con- siderable assistance from Irish Republican die-hards, The resentment of Eire over the arrival of our troops In Northern Ireland is being fully exploited, Mr. Post says that American troops seem to be getting on splendidly with the civilian population of Northern Ireland, which is doing its best to make them happy. He tells of dances being held for the soldiers and says that the Irish people are asking them into their homes, It wouldn't hurt the average person In Belle- fonte to read one of the mottos in the Office of the War Production Board: “Creat minds talk about ideas; average minds talk about events: and small minds talk about people.” Just think about the talk- ing you have been doing for the past two or three days and see what kind of a mind you have, There is a chance that the war will end during 1942—-the Red Army supplies the clue, was club-footed.” empty bottles” knowledge.” THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. ’ THE Orrice Can “A Little Nonsense Now and Thes, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” A Striking Position I was charmed by the look in her eye, By her nightingale volce 1 was smitien, And her beautiful figure, oh my.
