X« ! - I Please Remember ♦ WOULDN’T WE ALL! ★ ★ IS reported that the exiled Czechoslovakian govern r r ment has presented a request to the allied high com mand that if and when Hitler and his overlords are captured they may be turned over to the Czechs for execution. The request was made following the recent wiping out of the village of Licide, as barbaric as any deed ever recorded—one which makes exploits of early American Indians strictly amateurish by comparison— and was made with the hope that the oppressed people of Czechoslovakia might be privileged to enact the closing chapter of the war. While the Czechs are the first to make formal re quest for such a gruesome job, it is highly probable that others are itching to take a hand in the party. Doubtless if the truth were known there are any num ber of Germans who would delight in putting an end to the bloodthirsty scundrels who, in their efforts to bring about a new order in Europe, and the whole world for that matter, have brought nothing but hard ship to the masses and who in spite of declarations of high purpose have done nothing more than to wreak havoc throughout Europe and line their own pockets with wealth. Yes, there are plenty of people throughout the world who would take pleasure in wiping out Hitler and his Nazi cohorts, Mussolini, Hirorito, Laval, Quis ling, and all the little Lavals and Quislings. It may take several years to bring it about, but whether of early or late date, the heads of these wrongdoers are sched uled for eventual decapitation and nobody knows it better than they. War propaganda is a great thing, particularly as practiced by the Japs. Two of the world’s greatest sea and air battles were fought in the Coral Sea and near Midway Islands and the Jap propagandists minimized their losses by bragging about the losses they inflicted upon the Allies. Comes Sunday, June 21, and a Jap sub hurls a few shells at Fort Stevens, Oregon, happily missing the mark, but the propogandists in Tokyo broadcast it to the world as something to make all North Americans quake in their boots.
