But you should, for that is where Joe and Georgia are producing home-grown morale in bumper crops. Joe is our wholesaler at Lind J.L. Hays. Georgia is his wife. So we know them person ally. More important, they rep resent countless people in our cmallcr communities who don't mind working 16 hours a day if it means they're doing some thing for the boys. Maybe two years ago, Joe got two letters. One came from Tom in Iran. The other was from Harry in Australia. Joe was frightfully busy. The farm ers seemed to need him and his tank truck everywhere at once. He asked Georgia to answer the letters. So she did the writing. But the alio copied Tom's letter and sent it along to Harry. Harry's letter she sent to Tom. The next thing they knew, she and Joe had a project. Now many nights, they work until midnight. They've drafted the high school mimeographing machine. Thus they keep every service boy from Lind in touch with every other service boy from Lind and with the old home town, too. From all over the West, we get reports of special and per sonal efforts people are making often at considerable sacri fice to do something which will show the boys at the front how much the home folks are with them. To all such people our hat is off. Morale, above all else, be gins at home. We hope every such contributor to victory will feel such satisfaction as will come to Joe and Georgia with the first letters postmarked "Tokyo."

Grlgg United Press Correspondent Wiesbaden, Germany, June 11 U.R) Pearl Harbor caught Adolf Hitler flat footed. He hemmed and hawed for four days before he could decide what to do about it. Only at .3 p.m. Thursday did the reichstag hear his declaration of war. The die was cast only after Hitler's naval advisers told him that Japan could take care of the United States single handed, and that the United States couldn't ferry troops and supplies to Eur ope. Little Aid Given These pieces of information and a picture of how ignorant the Nazis were of Japanese plans and activity, emerged today from material obtained by allied authorities from high German officers and captured state papers. Nothing more than sketchy laison ever existed between Ger many and Japan, the so-called allies. There never was any co ordinated grand strategy. Mu tual aid never went beyond the trivial stage. - By the autumn of 1941 the Germans were convinced that war with America was inevit able. But they thought it would be delayed until spring, and then probably by some process of spontaneous combustion re sulting from U. S. naval convoy ing of war material to Britain. Hitler was at Berchtesgaden on Dec. 7 "the day that will live in infanmy." The news of Pearl Harbor was conveyed to him about 11:30 that night. The next morning he flew back to Berlin in a private plane. Japi Urged War He began a series of confer ences with members of his cabi net and with military and naval advisers. On Monday he saw the Japanese ambassador, Hiroshi Oshima. twice. Word that the Jaapanese had sunk the Prince of Wales and Repulse off Malaya came Tues day. Again Oshima visuea an ler. ureina him to declare war. He told Hitler that the results at Pearl Harbor had exceeded even the first Japanese reports that virtually the entire U. S. battle fleet had been wiped out, ana that America no longer could take anv role in a sea war. On Tuesday, Hitler decided to call the reichstag into session the next day. He was going to make a speech pledging Ger many s full moral support oi Japan without an actual declara tion of war. But Oshima's reassurances caused him to delay his decision and put off the meeting of the reichstag. He talked again with his ad visers Wednesday. Finally he was convinced that the United States had been knocked out as a naval power. He was impress ed tremendously by tne etiec- tiveness of the Japanese torpedo bombers on the Prince of Wales nnrl Remilse. And thus he came to the de cision to declare war, and so give his U-boats full freedom of action against American convoys in the Atlantic.
