Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY IT'S D-DAY, and H-Hour has already passed. The double initials emphasize this historical moment which marks the beginning oi me enu of the Hitler-made European war. Pointed up to this day were all the months of preparation, which assumed a scale unpre cedented in the history of war fare. Pointed up to this day are the hopes of free peoples everywhere. Their cause was carried over the water and through the air to the coast of France today Viv a vast force which included mum men from the Midland EPLET Empire, giving the great assault a personal significance to you and me and intensifying the feeling about it all here in this, their Homeland. Our prayers go with them on their mission ef glory and danger. a Coverage WOUR newspaper will do its best to tell the I invasion story completely, with maps and pictures to go along with the news. White paper, as all readers know. Is at a prem ium. It was our decision today to "open the paper" for the afternoon edition, rather than to use paper in an extra edition. An extra necessarily results in a good deal of waste, for many of the pages would be mere repetition of yesterday's pages. Therefore, we will make the coverage as complete as our facilities permit in this edition and those to follow in the succeeding invasion days. We will do our best. The War Today By DeWITT MacJCENZIE Associated Press War Analyst rE voice which came over my bedside tele phone in the early hours of this morning was quiet, steady, confident. "This is the DAY," it said simply. "The Allies have attacked on the Cherbourg pen insula and eastward. They are well inland already." All of us might, I think, take our cue from the calm confidence of that voice, , as this greatest amphibious invasion of history gets under way. .There are many things of which we cannot be sure at this stage, and we shall see bitter' days, but on one score we can be certain there is no doubt of ultimate success. This is the coup de grace for which we have waited so long the last great battle to exterm inate the nazi beast. As General Eisenhower put it to his boys when they started on this great adventure from which many will not reternr ':,' "You ar about to embark on a great crusade. The eyes of the world are upon you and the hopes and-prayers of all liberty loving people go with you ... We accept nothing less than ' full victory." provide a most magnificent base for operations, since it has the great port of Cherbourg, which is connected with Paris by a main railway. Once established on this peninsula, the allies will sweep in towards the French capital and then on through the old invasion route to , Germany. - . It's good to see our friend General Montgom ery the man who beat Marshal Rommel leading this initial thrust. Again these two great tacticians are up against each other, for Rommel commands the German forces of the invanlon zone. One of the big questions in most minds today is how long this final phase of the European war will last. Predictions certainly aren't in order at this stage, but I believe that when the Germans finally are convinced that there can be no turn of fortune to save them, they will quit rather than fight on their own soli. I think that idea is worth conservative consideration. SIDE GLANCES rraaeeeeeaseeeseaei Warning A FIERCE battle is in progress, and of one thing we should be warned: The Ger mans nave been holding their reserves well -inland, back of their coastal defenses in order to be able to fling them in any direction quickly. So our men aren't yet undergoing the full strength of nazi attack. " That will come later, and it's likely to be terrific The entire invasion coast of western Europe is . blazing with allied aerial bombardment. Whether this presages quick thrusts at other points isn't yet apparent but that wouldn't be surprising. We should watch for it. ' Meanwhile millions of enslaved people are waiting anxiously, prayerfully, for General Eis enhower's signal to rise and smite Hitler. The commander-in-chief is holding them in leash lest premature uprisings cost lives. The allied high command has chosen as this column has so often - predicted to. hit western France at the tough spot,- right in the teeth of Hitler's strongest defenses. It was the logical thing to do, for our forces must be close to their main base and that base is in Eng land. So we are going at it the hard way in the beginning, but it will be the easiest in the long run. a a . Segregation Aim THIS first allied thrust, according to the Germans is into the fertile plain- at the, base of the Cotentin, or Cherbourg, -peninsula. In the midst of this is the ancient city of Caen, about which the opening struggle swirls. It lies close to the valley of the Seine, 149 miles west-northwest of Paris. It's an old battle ground, for Edward HI captured and pillaged Caen in 1346. If we can segregate the peninsula, it will News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, June 6 The Netherlands foreign minister warned, that the small nations would not accept post-war domination by the big four, and State Secretary Hull replied in 800 vaporous words that all na tions would be equal in their "sovereignty." This world had been wander ing around in words, stretch ing them, redefining them, for a decade up to this war. Streams of words poured from various energetic people. We had such things as "Technocracy." A man wrote a book about MALLON how we deceive ourselves with words, only he wrote it from the standpoint of how other ' people could be deceived with words. It was Stuart Chase, the New Deal economist, and he dug out of obscurity a new word for his idea, 1 "Semantics." He warned his fellow radicals against calling such things as the taxatlon-insurance-spending scheme of the New Deal by any right name, and I think he originally devised- the philos ophically false and realistically unprovable phrase "social security," which, like most other things, we have in name only. I am not trying to be a philosopher, only to tell you the difficulty confronting me in at tempting to transfer to you the news behind the news. Here is the Dutch minister who says he will not take domination by greater powers. We all know he always has. The financial and whole economic life of his country always depended on the greater powers, and I mean always, because history will not reveal an instance in which the Netherlands controlled its own affairs without outside direct ing influence. Mr. Hull replied with words equally altitud enous, and just as far -off base, saying the "sovereignty" of Holland would be kept pure. If these same words were piled 10,000 miles higher, the average Intelligent man in the street would still know the Netherlands is a small country, Great Britain is an empire of greater bulk and authority, that the United States is a rich and powerful nation,, that Russia is a rising influence which will probably dominate Europe. The words we read in the. news. therefore, merely deceive us from the fact that we already know, that cannot be changed. So also with Spain, the French committee of liberation, the Russian - situation, or' whatever else there is in the news of either international or domestic consequence. . A columnist makes a speech In New York to the French emigres demanding that DeGaulle be recognized as the government of France. Is he the government of France? Who Is DeGaulle? HE is a politician who escaped to London, failed at numerous belligerent enterprises. fought the French political elements we freed in North Africa, made a private alliance with Russia, and then announces himself as the gov ernment of France. Anyone can see that. He is only a French politician who has suc ceeded in mastering the other French politicians, ' all of them in exile and away from their people. To recognize him as a government would, in justice and simple common honesty, be an act of cheating the people of France who cannot yet express themselves. m m Delusion AITH , Spain? Our people have been de YY luded , into believing the Spanish civil war was a cause of democracy against fascism, and that fascism won. Anyone can see it was a war of communism against fascism, one die tatorship against another, neither of which we want, all far from democracy, In domestic politics, we also delude ourselves with words. "Leftist" covers everything from revolutionary communism to liberal idealism. which are opposite. Communism means dicta torship, ruthless direction of the individual. while liberalism means freedom of the Individ ual. - .; . '.-, The only way we are going to solve any of our difficulties is to get out of words into facts. Pressure groups can deceive us, but only tem porarily. . Truth is an obstinate, inevitable leveler. It will insist' on being dominant in the end, no matter how1 many words are heaped upon it. , Thus also newspapering suffers under the yoke of the tyranny of words, enslaved to a dictionary rather than truth. Little men and little minds contrive verbal artifices to deceive themselves and their people. Sooner or later someone in this country is going to have to look a fact in the face. .... tore. fw ay an enwica. we. t. h , u. a. sax wr. a "Well, Judge, with both of your daughters Rctllng married this month, 1 suppose you'll be able to sport a Dew pair of . . , shoes before long!"

Not sup porting or belonging to any of Uicrn, perhaps you think I have no right to say what I think. Nowover, since they concern themselves with what effects me, I think I have and out of train ing, hnbit, Inclination, belief, passion, wishes, etc., I am going to say It, If to no one but the Jailer when ho poke food through the bars at me. Modern production Is revolu tionary, lt constantly changes the method of producing evory article, lt constantly changes the article ltsrir. it constantly aanrchna bv technolouical Im provement, new chemical proc esses, etc., lor ootn n nuiurvm article, the uso of different mate rials, and different processus. It Is the first mode of production In the several diriereiu anct ais tlnrt modes of Droductlon devel oped during man's pnst history that was revolutionary. Our political parties were ninlnlv organized around the out look of previous modes of pro duction mat tentioa to viow everything as final; that were governed by habit, precedent, and tradition, incy nave oo come dominated by profession als. who mainly havo tho law yers background, and who tend to view things through the nar rowness of legal procedure. The lawyers would be under stood better wero they termed "legatUors" Instead of "lawyers." Law, properly speaking, rests upon what actually Is. . . . things and their actions and the forces governing that action. Modern social outlook accepts tha people as the "Law Givers" in temporal affairs and "the intent of the law giver Is the law." Quotation marks Include words used by Lincoln in his first Inaugural ad dress. His famous "of, for, and by the people" remarks at Gettys burg and "We the people" in the prcamblo of the Constitution of the United States of America supports the rest of my conten tion lust previously stated. Our so-called lawyers take decrees, precedent, etc.. In short, all they can una to esumisn legality as the law. The result Is that all political parties became ossified They constantly work against the change that the revolutionary mode of production now existing makes necessary. Even when they institute change, It Is simply an attempt to go back to tho ways of an earllor and more out dated legality. Their appeal Is to common sense. The Ideas most held In common about things by those not. constantly checking and In vestigating the thing and Its changes aro the ones doveloned the furtherest back In history and handed down by tradition and fixed habit. But the very technical processes of production forces Investigation, by modern scientific methods, of all things including not only ideas them selves but the methods of think ing and Investigation whoreby all Ideas developed. It thereby causes things to be done by other methods than those that appeal greatest to the Ideas still most generally held in common. It forces a change from what is wanted by those who are held by the mothod of appealing to com mon sense for justification of every proposed action. Every day the forces of change created by modern indus try become greater. Every day they strike with increased force and vigor at every organization that attempts to bring things to a. static condition. Tho first ten dency of all those who are gov erned by traditionally accented Ideas, that they never investigat ed closely, is to strengthen the mental fences, the 'Inhibitions, that prevent observance and rec ognition of actions' that occur outside the narrow circle of tbose limited pre -conceived beliefs. Every Idea not totally Included in the main principles they have accepted as premises from which all their conclusions are drawn is, to them, destructive, it is heresy, unpatriotic, inhuman. Im moral, and everything bad and as such, something to be destroy ea, . incy oecome me ones who have strong urges to destroy, to rend, to tear apart.
