The government is reported
agog for fear returning soldiers
will bring bock a bird, bug, or
beast, apt to turn out to be an
alien pest. European bull
finches and rabbits are barred.
-It is too late to do anything
about the British economist who
put the New Deal chief up to
squandering money to produce
prosperity. Restrictions are in
Immediate order for European
nuts and their isms.
...
The upstate press has started,
as usual in campaign years, to
discuss pro and con the "inde
pendent voter." The "independ
ent" voter, as In previous elec
tions, will probably be too "in-
aepenaeni to vote.
...
Now that cucumbers are
available, the Older Girls are
staging a "tossed" salad spree.
In making the "tossed" salad,
everything that can be eaten
without being cooked is tossed
Into the bowl, chopped up In
discriminately, and then tossed
on the table, to be tossed down
by the diners.

Is the War Over?
i
If the American victory at Argentan, France Js, as
an unnamed American general quoted by the U.P.,
claims:
"The greatest infantry victory in centuries!"
Then the war in Europe should be over by Labor
Dav as certain Wall Street brokers predicted.
For the "tn-eatest infantry victory in centuries"
would include the Russian victory at Stalingrad, as
well as the allied victory at Waterloo.
The latter finished Napoleon. The former finished
Hitler as far as Kussia was concerned.
TTHE Germans have not won a victory on the eastern
front or permanently gained a foot of ground there
since Stalingrad. Meanwhile the Kussian armies have
advanced steadily day after day, covering over twice
the distance Argentan is from Berlin. ,
So assuming the unknown general knows what he
is talking about the "Big Parade" in the west to
Unter Den Linden should be about to start
And as far as "we, the people" are concerned the
sooner it starts the better, and the sooner the Ameri
can armies get to Berlin the better!
For while a Kussian entree into the German capital
would be heartily welcomed on this side of the At
lantic : a Yankee triumph would naturally arouse more
general and lasting enthusiasm, and somehow seem
a bit more fitting.
TNTIL the American general is named, however, or
his statement confirmed by subsequent events, it
might be well for the gamboleers on the short-end of
that Wall Street ' 'book", to keep their rubber bands on
their pocket books.
lhat the Argentan victory is a real one, and an
other smashing body-blow to the German Reich, ap
pears reasonably certain. It may even prove to be
equal to another iunisian knock-out, which ended the
African campaign. The overwhelming allied smash
from the air sounds like it
But on the other hand, any remarks by "unnamed"
American army officers, generals or otherwise, can
usually be taken witheveral grains of salt. Nine times
out of ten some hopped-up war correspondent thus
expresses his own views disguised by high ranking
anonymity.
CO just as well to hold our 44-gun salute and atten
dant fireworks, until the smoke of the conflict
clears somewhat and the exact score can be made out
As far as victory celebrations are concerned, "too
much and too soon" can only be ranked along with
the sad slogan of the early clays of the war:
"Too little and too late!"
Watch Silesia
Speaking of the inexorable Russian advance, the
point where Hitler can no longer afford to trade
territory for time, has been reached
For with the Russians striking in southwest
Poland, all of Upper Silesia is threatened, and there
is a war prize that must be held by Germany, or her
powers of resistance in the East will be materially
lessened if not completely lost.
.....
TT0R Silesia is to eastern Germany what the Ruhr is
to western Germany. Ihere is Germany s chief
supply of coal, also a most important source of food,
munitions and vital minerals. Just south of it lies the
famous Moravian Gate, the centuries old passageway
through Central Europe, a most vital strategic point
In short, Hitler must fight for Silesia, m an entirely
different way than he has fought for time in Russia, or
he ia lost
rF course he is lost anyway. But the Russian con-
quest of Silesia would be equivalent to the allied
conquest of the Rhine and the Ruhr, as far as deliver
ing the "coup de grace" to the Third Reich is concerned.
Those interested in naming the date when the
Nazis capitulate therefore should keep their eyes on
Silesia.
A Changed Japan
If any evidence of the changed spirit in Japan is
desired, the Tokyo radio supplies it
A sadder more depressing program than the once
bumptious and boastful Nipponese now provide could
scarcely be imagined.
A large part of the time is devoted to allied prison
ers, Australian and American taken at Corregidor,
plaintively inquiring when this awful war will stop
and they can join their loved ones in the Antipodes
and the United States. It is a pathetic effort to stimu
late a spirit of American pacificsm which no longer
exists.
An attempt is made to paint the European war pic
ture in brighter colors than the facts permit, but it
laiis dismally when through the smoke screen of re
pression the ugly truth that Germanv is in full retreat.
can't be entirely kept out
'VEN Japan's recent victories against China have a
' hollow sound as presented bv the present official
announcer, for his voice instead of being chipper and
self contulent as was true a year or so ago, is now as
mournful and lugrubrious as an East Indian funeral
chant.
It probably would be premature to claim Japan's
fighting heart has been broken, or the will to resist to
the death no longer exists.
But Japan's spirit has certainly completely trans
formed since the conquest of the Philippines and the
Malay states, today's broadcasts over the short wave
from Tokyo prove it
News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Hitler Purqe Victims
Paul Malloo
Quebec, Aug. 15 The Cana
dian elections last week may be
a forerunner of what is at hand
in the United
States, as the
issues and
trends are
somewhat the
same. The pop
ular publicity
trend toward
socialism could
h a r J 1 y be
found in the
ballot boxes
when the votes
were counted.
Here In Que
bec, the center of political
power In Canada comparable to
our combined eastern states, a
provincial victory went to the
"union nationale." The name is
meaningless. The party Is not for
a natlonnlistlc union of the prov
inces, but ran on the opposite
platform states rights.
Maurice Duplessls, leader of
the party, based his campaign
against the centralization of
power in the Ottawa federal gov
ernment and mentioned no other
Issue. RouBhly, he played Dewey
against liberal Premier Mac-
Kenzle King's Roosevelt, al
though he is probably more con
servative than Dewey.
...
MO ONE expected Duplessls to
concluded that the election
would enable the socialists (C. C.
F. party) to eat into the liberal
control of the province, causing
a three-way split with no one In
an absolute majority. But when
the votes were counted there
were practically none for the
socialists.
In an Incomplete count, they
polled about one-thirty-fourth of
the votes cast. Indeed, they had
only half as many as all the
scattered minor parties at the
bottom of the list, and got one
parliament seat from a remote
new mining district. Almost as
badly defeated were the nation
alists (bloc populaire), which
won only four seats.
The liberal party, , represent
ed provincially by Premier God
bout, swept through the cities of
Montreal and Quebec, but the
farmers and small villagers sur
prisingly gave the majority of
parliament to Duplessls (plural
ity over liberal 4737, absolute
majority two or three votes),
ousting the Godbout government
from majority control.
Obviously, they were alarmed
at the centralization of war
powers in the national govern
ment. Dissatisfaction with ra
tioning, regulations, red tape, is
apparent here as in the states, al
though less is said about it
publicly.
It Is true this states rights
sentiment Is solidified here by
French Canadian fear that they
will lose the preponderant use
oi the French language in this
province, their schools, etc., If
Ottawa takes too much power,
but no one In Ottawa has pro
posed that yet, or probably ever
will.
Premier MacKenzie Smith, as
all predecessors, plays up to Que
bec, which is one of the three
Canadian liberal strongholds
that has kept him In power na
tionally, anu indeed might yet
vote for him In fall elections, de
pending on who is running
against him nationally.
...
THE western province of Al
4 berta is politically wild,
wooly and full of antics. There,
the social credit government
swept the C. C. F. socialists near
ly off the slate, giving them but
two seats.
I think the people Just found
the socialists out. This C. C. F.
has a definite, complete social
ization program. It proposes fed
erally to take over banks, rail
roads, businesses now in private
hands, and to issue to the stock
holders a non-Interest bearing
bond.
Now who Is going to keep a
non-Interest bearing bond? These
naturally would be cashed in
with the government, the peo
ple's treasury. So the people,
now burdened with excessive
taxation, would have to bear the
additional postwar burden of
purchasing every business in the
country. It does not make sense.
C. C. F. tried to get the farm
voto by leaving the farmer out

of County School Superintend
ent C. R. Bowman reports. A
few of the schools on the floor

later date, to give students more
time to work in the fruit har
vest. The teacher shortage is not
as high as it was a week ago.
Several teachers including those
with high school experience
have reported the past week.
This was said by Bowman to be
due In part to the slackening of
war defense work in some areas,
with applicants looking for oc
cupation at their peace time pro
fession. Teachers' contracts filed with
the superintendent, have been
coming in slowly so far.
