Purnace EDITORIAL The complaint of Adolf Hitler, in brief, is that his enemies do not know that he has won the war, The year 1942 is one for fervent thanksgiving that the Red army held and gave us time to defend the United States. The British probably wonder what has become of the American expert who said no nation could match Germany in the skies, Everybody In Centre county can help in the scrap collection campaign. You need not wait on any organization or committee—just get your scrap and turn it in. Any American who is unwilling to accept hard- ships, on account of the war, should be sent Into the front-line trenches to discover what hardships really mean. Without professing to know very much about the set up of a proper tax measure, it seems to us that some form of compulsory savings is desirable, This will provide the nation with the current money for war purposes, sharply reduce the spending surplus and set up a reserve spending force which will assist in the transition period, when our national economy must be changed from a war to a peace basis. Concern for the fate of small business establish- ments continues to be expressed in Administration cireles, with one solution advanced being to arrange an equitable distribution of surplus stocks, so that the small retailer will be protected in replenishing his inventory. Large companies with adequate re- serves, it is feared, might secure a disproportionate share of available consumer goods. GERMANS TO EAT IF OTHERS STARVE Herman Goering, Nazi No. 2, furnishes the people of Occupied countries with the inside tip-off ag to where they stand. Goering warns that “if there is hunger, be, in no event, in Germany.” Frankly, the Nazi Jeader says that his people will be fed this winter at the expense of the rest of Europe. If other poptiations suffer, it will “be due to measures by the enemy.” Of course, Goering’s policy does not mean that Germans will gel plenty to eat, Moreover, he frank- ly tells them that the German air force is so busy in Russian that it cannot get around to the British challenge in the air. He asks the Germang to stend up under British bombing with patience, promising a day of retaliation. Altogether, it is something of a feeble utterance by one of the chiefs of Hitler's New Order. Despite all that the Germany Army has accomplished, the second Nazi admits that Europe will be without ace« quate food this Winter, that the war in Russia will continie 1043 and that there is no defense to protect German cities and industrial cities from Anglo-American bombing. -.- it will TALK ATIVE CONGRESSMEN AND CENSORSHIP (An editorial from the Pittsburgh Post Gazelle, (Republican), Oct, 6, 1942), Byrop Price, censorship director, recently praised the co-operation of the nation's newspapers in vol- untarily refraining from publishing information re- stricted by the code which his office has issued. But the newspapers have falled, Mr, Price added, to In- form the public properly as to why certain informa. tion is withheld Herewith, like an Aesop fable, with a moral, 1s a little story about self-imposed censorship which may be the sort of thing Mr, Price suggests should be given an airing. It occurred at a small convention in Pittsburgh last week The main speaker at this convention was a well- known Western Pennsylvania Congressman, James E. VanZandt of Altoona. A former national com mander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and a member of the naval reserve, he Is presumed to know something about the war effort and the Navy's part in it. As a member of Congress, his hearers probably took it for granted that he had access to inside” Information on production Mr. VanZandt that despite tremendous effort in the war, the nation is far from victory and the Second Pront is not an immediate probability He set about proving his point by citing what he in- dicated were reliable figures To any reporter news.

He continued this policy despite criticism by health authorities and even ve- toed a measure providing funds to set up a cancer hospital and research station in the sanitarfum.

ROSS, PENNSYLVANIA NEEDS YOU (From Philadelphia Record) To the Editor: Telephone calls were made to all State liguor stores by liquor store supervisors, advising the per. soninel that they would be relieved of thelr duties should they cause a work stoppage in the stores. I think it is about time Mr. James was informed that this is still America and that if he wants to put his dictatorial tactics in effect he should join the Axis clan, Mr. James, do you sleep well? If you do, you have no concept for personal liberty. And to you, Mr. Pew, are you satisfied with your experiment? Mr, Ross will change your formula after his election. That will be the greatest day in the history of Penn- sylvania Come In, Mr. Ross, Pennsylvania needs you. A BROAD-MINDED REPUBLICAN. STALIN FOR A SECOND FRONT, NOW! We yield to no one in our admiration of the ac- complishments of the Red Army of Soviet Russia. In fact, we suspect that the reason that the people of the Boviet fight for their land is to be found in the improvements that have come to them under the Communist regime. Just the same, it is interesting to observe that Joseph Stalin says that a Second Front occupies “a place of great importance.” This attitude is under. standable In view of the hard fighting that Ruseia has experienced, but to keep the record straight, Stalin was not in favor of a Second Front when Ger. many attacked Poland. There has been a lot of loose thinking about the “Second Front” idea. Certainly, neither Great Brite ain nor the United States is obligated to undertake any foolhardy offensive just because Russia needs, and is entitled to, relief. The opening of a land invasion in Western Eu- rope is a matter which must be left solely to the de- cision of competent military leaders, There 1s little to be gained through a public discussion of the ad. visability of a Second Front and much to be lost through any widespread conviction that this coun. try is obligated to “save” the Russians. The only basis for American activity in the present war is the defense of the United States. The same statement applies to Great Britain and Russia, Great Britain declared war upon Germany be. cause, at last, the British statesmen understood the issue Involved submission to Hitler or war The Sov. fet and the United States, despite their understand. ing of some of the fundamental issues involved, pre. ferred to sit on the side lines until attacked, That loose talk about a Becond Front may create sms friction between the Russians and thelr Allies a to the military leaders of the United Nations, “In this respect, both Mr. Willkie and Mr, Stalin (Continued on Page Thres) poarent.
