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. A wonderful
organism, the Oriental mind,
