FRUITS OF HULL'S POLICY We are an admirer of Secretary of State Cordell Hull. The Tennesseean is a great American, and not only the South, the entire nation, should be proud of him His conciliatory policy to Vichy, France, came in for much criticism, in some of which we joined Americans couldn't see the wisdom of being friendly with a French government which had betrayed the cause of liberty and turned against its friends With the recent invasion of Africa by the Brit ish and Americans, Hull's friends have proclaimed the easy nature of the conquest and the slight cas- ualties there as a justification for the much-con- demned policy of appeasement to the Vichy regime They have some grounds to justify their defense ot the Hull policy. For example, these friends say the Hull policy was carried out in order to obtain vital information from the German-occupied territory, to preserve the ideal of freedom in France, to encourage French op- position to Hitlerism, and to prepare the background for the Invasion of the Mediterranean, which has now begun by the occupation of North Africa. We readily agree that, in regard to the Vichy government, subsequent events have justified some- what the American Department of State's careful treatment of France, but that doesn’t mean that the appeasement policy has been justified, for, in the great majority of cases, where tried, it failed miser- ably, and its continuance only aided our enemies. Appeasement of the Axis was first tried out in the case of Ethiopia, when Italy conquered that na- tion. It was next tried out in Spain, when Britain, France, and America sacrificed a friendly, democratic government in the hopes of satisfying the Axis with a victory for their Spanish rebels. Appeasement was next tried at Munich, where Czecho-S8lovakia was sold down the river in ap effort to preserve peace and prevent a European war. On the other side of the world, appeasement was tried on Japan, when but i we sold oll and scrap metal, while the Chinese friends of liberty were dying, in the hopes by so do- ing of preventing war, Bo, while the adherence of many prominent French leaders in North Africa, and their present cooperation with the Allles, may present some justi- fication for the appeasement policy towards the Vichy regime, all the other trials of appeasement resulted in the defeat and the damage of the Allied cause, ALLIES EMERGE FROM CRISIS YEAR WITH FORCES INTACT As the United States nears its first war anniver- sary, the outlook of the Second World War appears immeasurably brighter than it did on that bleak, tragic day last December when the first news of the American disaster at Pearl Harbor was flashed to the nation The German armies in Russia had been halted at least temporarily by the Russian winter but, con- sidering their progress in less than six months of warfare, observers were inclined to agree that noth- ing short of a miracle could hold the German armies in the coming spring in their quest to capture Mos- cow, take the Russian oll wells and end the war in Russia But, alded by a bitter Russian winter, the se- verest in decades, which took a deadly toll of the German armies, the Allies built feverishly and, above all else, kept the supply lines to Russia open, Con- voy alter convoy reached the sorely-pressed defend- ers of Russia and arms from these convoys helped top tl Germans The Nazis made progress, it | true, but they failed to capture the strategic oil well the Caucasus, which was the main objective of the 1942 campaigh. The herole defense of such cities Sevastopol and Stalingrad proved such sharp thorns to the advancing Nazis arm from the Northwest that Hitler's time-table in Russia was completely up- us Ad U-Boat Peril Conquered During the first months of America’s war with the Axis, U-boats began picking off helpless mer- chantmen and tankers at an ever-alarming rate. Progress against these deadly undersea craft was made slowly, as the navy added more destroyers and lighter vessels to the anti-submarine drive and as the alr patrol became more and more effective Just as the German armies had been stopped in Russia and just as the U-boat menace was brought under control, so too was the relentless Japanese ag- gression in the South Pacific to be stopped by United States forces before the first year of the war had been completed. After over-running the Philippines and capturing the Dutch East Indies, as well as Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma and a score of other smaller territories and islands, the Jap spearhead of aggression pointed toward Australia, Midway and Hawall A hungry U. 8.

Two or three Jap battieships have been accounted since Pearl Harbor to even up the capital ship score. The Japs have lost six aircraft carriers to the United States’ four and have suffered heavier losses in cruise. ers and destroyers also. Thus, the battle of the Pa- cific has definitely changed its trend since December 7. 1041. In conclusion, and while the war is yet a long way from being won, Americans can look back upon their first year of World War II, a war they did not begin, and be proud of the record their country has set in daring, heroism and skill, and breathe g sigh of relief for the fact that the United Nations emerged from the crisis of 1942 with each major ally contin. uing to offer the dictators bitter and increasing re- sistance, When the ristory of World War II is writ- ten, 1942 will be termed the year when the tide of the war turned and the scales of war tipped in favor of the Allies. for “WANTED! 1000 WOMEN _ WITH POOR COMPLEXION « « « to try this remarkable skin aid for JUST 10 DAYS!
