In view of the general Hitler will strike next, the of the flyers are interesting "Of course, I have no inside information, Dut my guess Is this: That parachute attack on Crete, in spite of Berlin denials, was a real dress-rehearsal for an all-out blow at England, and that Is what the Nazis are getting ready for while they send out false alarms from the Russian border. Why not? Hitler can win the war by crushing England, and he can't win without. Time is against him. Why should he wait? It's now or never with Adolf. "So that's my guess. "And another thing! I don't know anyone who denies this war is going to be decided in the air. But If the dope in the U. S. air force la right, the air battle has now come down to the matter of stratosphere fighting, air-bombers that can drop their eggs from six and seven miles up. There is no defense for that attack except fighter planes that are also equipped for stratosphere combat. "Now, the latest dope is when Germany has her strato sphere bombers ready, the invasion of England will start. Meanwhile Britain for six months has been concentrating on manufacture of stratosphere fighters and U. S. factories are doing the same, for British aid. The outcome, therefore, is pretty much a question of which gets there first. England and America make better planes and have more skillful pilots, but Germany has had the edge in numbers, on mass production. In our outfit we are betting two to one the all out attack on England will start before July 4th, and the war will be over, one way or the other, before Christmas." Will HitleTFight Stalin? THE above prognosis may be no nearer the mark 1 than a thousand others, but it IS interesting, and at least makes more sense than some that have been given more publicity, an all-out war between Hitler and Stalin, for example. Of course anything is mad, but why should Hitler abandon the very comer stone of his successful military strategy at this critical time? THERE probably would never have been a war had Hitler not succeeded in securing that non-aggression pact with Soviet Russia in August, 1939. In fact there is little doubt Hitler hoped by that pact to IRON-OUT the Polish corridor as he had IRONED-OUT Austria and Czechoslovakia, without firing a shot. For without Russian aid he undoubtedly was convinced England would never go to war for Poland, But with the usual Teutonic the psychology of any other nation, he blundered regarding England precisely as Bethmann-liollweg blundered in 1914, and probably much to his surprise and consternation World War No. 2 was on. AT that time, in fact, it has been reliably reported, Hitler called in his two leading generals and asked them what they thought about the chances of winnine a war against England and France. Their reply was the chances were excellent, if the fatal error of 1914 were avoided; namely, bringing Russia into the conflict and thus necessitating a general European war on two fronts. IN a sense now, there is no western front. But, on the other hand, Germany is engaged in north Africa, and the Near East, so it is scarcely probable Hitler wishes to complicate matters by also taking on Stalin's red millions, at least until the struggle with Britain is decided. Moreover, by all accounts, Russia wants above everything else to avoid a general war, and is not, industrially or politically, prepared for war. IN other words, assuming Hitler has decided now is the time to secure the wheat of the Ukraine and Baku oil, what is there to prevent his getting both, without an armed conflict There is no doubt whatever he has been getting them (oil and wheat surpluses at least) from Russia ever since the war started. Why should this not continue? aaa CO unless Der Reichsfuenrer has gone completely crazy (and we grant he wouldn't have far to go) the probabilities certainly are all this talk of a Russian mobilization and a Russo-German conflict comprises a smoke screen to hide Germany s real intentions. And those "real intentions" may well be the invasion of England, for all we know. And they may just as well not be, for the SAME reason ! Time to Call It a Day IJAVE Messrs. Lindbergh, Wheeler, Nye, et al, called off their anti-war campaign, or is this merely the lull before another storm? We hope the former. For while those three gentlemen. or any others, have a perfect right to say what they think, and do what they can to keep their country out of World War No. 2, the plain and obvious fact is the country is already in it. And has been in it, ever since the passage of the Lend and Lease measure IUST how active or effective this participation is going to be no one can tell : but that it IS participa - lion, we fail to see how any lr we weren t in a ne closing up all German consular offices, and sending the personnel out of the country?

THE plain truth is, at least as we see it, the United States, to all practical intents and purposes is now just as much a participant in World War No. 2 as is China, or Yugoslavia or Holland; though thanks to the distance away of the enemy we have not suffered as they have. So while we don't doubt the RIGHT of our isolationists to keep up this anti-war talk as long as no actual war declaration is made, we do doubt the further wisdom or efficacy of such action. And we hope, in view of recent developments, THEY do.

Beverly Hills, Calif. THE D- By now you know what I mean by the dashed carbohy drates I mean delectable, and they are delictable. Ice cream, caramels, bon-bons, nugatines. fudge, syrup, honey, angel food, 'taters, n o u g a tines, cakes, toast, biscuit, w a f- ers, pn'ry bread, crack ers and every thing nice and easy to eat, It seems. These foods consist largely of re fined starches or sugars, and they are all easy to eat, that Is, you can and do enjoy eating them more or less whether you are hungry or not. In fact, it pains me more than it does you to mention that most of us take our daily overdose or excess of the highly nutri tious carbohydrates after we have been filled to repletion by a square meal. We call the over dose dessert. In a well balanced diet for a normal adult of moderate activ ity approximately 2800 calories oer day will maintain normal weight, and the calories are best supplied in the three food ma terials in this proportion three ounces of protein (nitrogenous material such as egg white, lean meat, milk curd or cheese, or the protein in wheat, beans, nuts) yielding 640 calories; 2'4 to 3 ounces of fat yielding 700 to 840 calories: and 10 to 12 ounces of carbohydrate yield Ing 1200 to 1400 calories. These quantities of course represent the food material actually as similated, not the amount of food eaten. With Increased activity, work, play, exercise, the propor tion of carbohydrate material renuired to maintain normal weight Increases to sixteen, eighteen, twenty or more ounces, while the proportion of protein and fat required in creases little or not at all. This is the reason why dessert Is all right for those who play or work hard. They need more car bohydrate. A notion still prevalent that In some circumstances the diet should exclude all starches and sugars or foods containing such carbohydrate material. This Is a silly and sometimes a danger ous notion. Not even a person with diabetes can safely exclude all starches and sugars from the diet. A certain amount of starch (Continued From Page One) THE assertions that there la a year's supply of rubber on hand can be discounted. Shipments are not coming In as expected.

CARBOHYDRATES or sugar in one form or another is essential to maintain the vital functions, and if the diet is re stricted too severely in this re spect the vital functions Inevit ably fail and life itself is im periled. Thus has many a fool ish young woman "dieted" her self into a sanatorium or worse. Oatmeal, oaten grits, rolled oats etc., is a well balanced food containing i6 protein, 7.2 fat and 67 carbohydrate, with about 7 water and nearly 2 minerals, particularly calcium. Somehow it is hard to take too much carbohydrate in the form of oatmeal. Not because it Is more "filling" than white bread or refined starches or sugars, nor because it is "heating", but because it satisfies. It satisfies the instinctive demand of the body for those other essential nutritive elements besides cal ories, namely, minerals and vi tamins which are generally re moved from our everyday foods in milling or other refining pro cesses. Oatmeal is rich in vita min B complex, and that it what most carbohydrate food lacks. Ql'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hay Tttn Coming Plria. print your sdvlce for hay ferr before the season comes on. N. C. H.

In The . .... , .'; -'-'; Dasy . rNews By FRANK JENKINS YVER the week-end, the only" new shooting was started by the British, who launched an attack on the German and Italian forces in the neighborhood of the Egyptian-Libyan border. ... A CCOUNTS differ. The Brit- Ish say the operation (prob ably a raid In advance of a poss ible larger-scale offensive) Is "continuing." The Italians say the British were "repulsed with losses." The Germans claim destruction of 60 British tanks or armored cars and 11 British planes. Both sides agree this (Mon day) morning the battle is still raging. "VN Saturday Washington w "freezes" German and Itali an funds in this country. Early Monday (before the banks open) Italy freezes American funds in retaliation. Monday the United States ord ers closing of all German con sulates in this country. Sum ner Welles, assistant secretary of state, explains that German con sular officials have been engaged In activities harmful to the United States. He adds that the German diplomatic staff in Washington is not affected. w HAT does it all mean? Merely that TENSION be tween the United States and the axis powers (Germany, Italy and now Japan) is growing. ADD to the rumor crop Mon- day a report (not verified) of a heavy Japanese naval con centration off the coast of south cast China. Link to this rumor a state ment by the governor-general of the Dutch East Indies that his government rejects "emphati cally" any thought of inclusion In Japan's proposed "new order in Asia." If shooting starts between Japan and the United States it will probably be over these Dutch Islands. fT develops Monday that all persons on the torpedoed Robin Moor are safe, those not previously accounted for having been picked up by a British ship and landed in South Africa. Remember that the Robin Moor is an "incident." "Inci dents" spark national decisions in times of stress. It was the Lusitania incident that pushed us Into the last war. "There are three possible rea- sons for the to'rpedoing of the Robin Moor: 1. The Germans are cracking down on U. S. aid to Britain, and arc prepared to take the con seouences. 2. The submarine commander was too brash. 3. Hitler wanted to know how the American public would respond to the torpedoing of an American ship. QF the three, the last Is the most probable. If it turns out that the Incident Isn't satis factory for German purposes, look for the submarine com mander to be renrimandrd. That would provide the wav out of this particular "Incident."

(..tun. conducted hv DeWitt MacKensle, is being written in hli absence on vacation by Fred' Vanderschmidt). Mr. Roosevelt's decision toi close the German consulates and tourist-propaganda agencies in ; this country on the ground that their activities have been inimi cal to our welfare presents to Nazi world policy a piercing challenge, in some ways the strongest since Sir Nevile Hen- derson delivered Britain's two hour ultimatum to the Wilhelm strasse on September 3, 1939. The step was taken with full knowledge that Germany has the right, (almost, under normal international procedure, the ob ligation) to take precisely simi lar retaliation against United States consulates in the terri tory she controls or against United States nationals whom the Nazis may deem to be en gaged in gerra-official trade, travel or Information services. Hitler's Way Different In speculating on Hitler's re action, however, one must re member that accepted interna tional procedure, such as the severance of diplomatic relations in the calm and traditional man ner, is not the Hitler way. One must also take note of the fact that the German public up to this morning does not even know the bare facts of the case and certainly has not been pre pared for a diplomatic break with the United States, much less a state of war. An abrupt diplomatic break, on Germany's initiative and unpreceded by elaborate explanation and in ternal propaganda, would be a stunning blow to German morale and an admission of German ag gression intent. If Hitler follows the pattern he has cut out for himself, we may expect another reichstag speech in which the Roosevelt administration will be compre hensively damned for unreason ing warmaking and Germany completely whitewashed, plus a thunderous press campaign against the United States which will climb to new heights of venom. Not until then if the pattern is followed is Ger many's complete reprisal likely to be revealed, although prelimi nary action is possible as a face saving device. Reaction Cautious The case of the Robin Moor and the freezing of axis credits must, of course, be considered as integral parts of the present German-American picture. Au thorized nazl spokesmen have talked up belligerently on the Robin Moor (for foreign, not German, consumption) and have declared "we will shoot when ever any ship with contraband sails for England." The reac tion on the credit freezing was far more cautious; instead, the Germans pushed Italy to the front and let Mussolini take re taliatory action. Washington has so far ignored this obvious ma neuver and the consulate-closing order of last night did not take in the axis partner. JACKSONViLLE BOY WINS PROMOTION March Field, Calif..
