AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER AID TO THE ENEMY What is "Life" trying to do? In the September 4th number JS published an article by William C. Bullitt entitled "What Rome Thinks." It is as dangerous a piece of writing as we have ever read. That it has already been widely quoted by the Nazi press is not surprising. It is grist for Hitler's mill, the Nazi line from start to finish. The article is a diatribe against our ally, Russia. Russia, not Ger- many or Japan, is depicted as our real enemy. The Romans and the Vatican?for Bullitt is speaking for the Pope, he tells us. as well as for our former enemies?"see western civilization once again threatened by hordes of invaders from the east. . . . Dominating the hearts and minds of all men throughout Italy is the question: Will the result of this war be the subjugation of Europe by Moscow instead of Berlin?'" "The Ital- ians," we are told, "know Hitler" ?well, they ought to, having fought for him for five years?- "and they fear he will turn Ger- many over at the moment of col- lapse to the Communists." And so they hope we will see the folly of our ways and form a bloc against Russia, we and all the European countries, including, in- terestingly enough, western Ger- many. Freedom of the Press stands high on our Bill of Rights, but in war-time we do not allow! such freedom when its exercise involves publishing matters of value to the enemjf- "Military j information" is censored. Yet here | is an article, published in a mag- azine of world-wide circulation, whose value to the enemy is, we j would wager, as great as would i be the specifications of our bomb ! sight or the plans of our general staff. For Hitler's only hope, since the war started, has lain in the possibility of splitting the United j Nations. And so Nazi propaganda; has harped incessantly on any is- sue which might drive the Allies apart. In the propaganda directed at the United States and Britain the perils of communism were stressed, while in that broadcast to Russia were depicted the evils of capitalism. From the start the Nazis have shown masterly skill in the comprehension and execu- tion of Lincoln's warning. They know, better, alas, than we do, that united we shall stand and divided we must fall. And now that, together, the Big Three are rushing to victory, their one hope for a lenient peace and a future come-back lies in the breaking-up of our alliance. This article of Bullitt's, directing Americafi sus- picion toward Russia and Russian anger toward America, could not have fitted better into Hitler's strategy if it had been written by Goebbels himself. The editors of "Life" are either criminally irresponsible, or else they are playing close to the line of treason. This article was pub- lished for one of two reasons: because it would create a sensa- tion and send a few more nickels rolling into "Life's" bulging cof- fers; or because it expressed the viewpoint of the editors. If the latter, then these gentlemen must be listed with their correspondent, William C- Bullitt, in the dark gathering of our energies abroad and at home, with the Nazis and the Japanese, and with our home fascists, seditionists and would- be saboteurs. The opening picture in this number of "Irife" is of a French- man kneeling to lift a handful of French soil. The article under- neath it closes with this sentence: "All that the Germans seem to have left now is a last stand." A last stand?and William C. Bul- litt, the men who published his s article, and all others who give such aid to the enemy. ?KLB "FREE TO GO" | Children of Moore County, even those who ordinarily do not like school, this year associated the opening of the fall term with "fredom" rather than "bondage", and never before have they inarched into their classrooms with happier faces. The polio quarantine, which had been in ef- fect for eleven long weeks, had lifted at midnight. Walking up Broad Street at noon Monday we heard a little girl with long curls call out hap- pily: "Mommie, we're free to go to the picture show now and I'm going this afternoon!" The children are to be com- mended for their philosophic ac- ceptance of the ban which forced them to forego movies, swimming parties, and all of the group fun that belongs to vacation time. They have shown that they can endure hardship and disappoint- ment as good soldiers, with chins up, and we rejoice with them that they are again "free to go".?BCS Sand Box Being Filled Weekly BY WALLACE IRWIN My big brother tells me about an Indian chief named Crazy Cow who went to the Indian agent and applied for citizenship papers. The agent said, "You can't get those papers until you can show that you aren't a bigamist. And you know very well that you've got two wives." Crazy Cow presented the tribal dead-pan and grunted. "So", continued the agent, "be- fore you ask for citizenship you'd better go home and tell one of your wives you ain't married to her." After a thoughtful pause Crazy Cow replied, "You tell- Here in the wilds of East Set- auket I contemplate Big Chief Dewey, out on the war-path, tell- ing um. So tar, seems to me, he isn't telling um very well. Looks to me as if the Republican Party has a couple of wives on its hands, and something or other should be done about it. One of them is named Depression and the other known to the neighbors as Pros- perity. Double marriage calls for a lot of swift double talk. We ought to cut down expenses, says Tom-, my, and maybe we should begin with the Army. It's a bureau- cratic Army, run by a hard old bureaucrat named Eisenhower. Well, says Tommy, it would be a lot more economical to send that Army home and, of course, i lick Germany at the same time. Or maybe just get the Republi- can boys home before Election Day?provided, of course, that they can get hold of state ballots. | All of this to be a part of our non- political peace plan. I'm not quoting the Governor verbatim, understand. But some of Tommy's ideas ought to be called Tommyrotics. A good new word for the dictionary to try out. Another Tommyrotic is the Gov- ernor's plan for policing Germany ,after our victory. Send the Army home and turn the cop jobs over : to boys who'd rather live in Ber- jlin than Boston. Every bright little soldier who wants to do that will please hold up his hand. Wealthy industrial- ists, whom Mr. Dewey expects to create overnight, will offer im- mediate employment to all those who do not care to serve as foreign M. P's. I ought to go to jail for twisting the Governor's remarks into the above burlesque. But he's qui«.e a twister himself, when it comes to putting the right fact in the wrong place. For instance, there's the "Roosevelt Depression". If you'll believe Tommy, we were just do- ing fine up to the very minute FDR took the solemn oath of of- fice; there was a chicken in every pot and the busy workman didn't know what to do with his surplus earnings. What's this? Political amnesia? Let me quote a few lines from somebody else's opinion: "The great depression of the 1930s induced in the American people moods of self-doubt bor- dering on despair. It looked like the end of the world. . . The physical spectacle of want and idleness?silent factories, deserted storesi sealed-up mines, soup kitchens and bread lines?was sad enough. Far more tragic was the moral spectacle; fear feeding upon itself and shrinking from every shadow. The kind of men who until then had bubbled over with self-assurance. . . , retreated into cobwebbed corners to wring their hands in futile inaction . . . Men of small faith and smaller imagination . . . proceeded to 'elaborate an almost scientific sys'- tem of defeatist thought. . . The fellow who said this is no New Dealer. He's Eric Johnston, President of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. Although I can't go along with Eric in all his ideas, he seems to have a bird's eye view of America and her share in the world's headache which, I'm afraid, Tom lacks. But maybe Tom will learn as he goes along. He's a young man getting his education the hardest way. I hope Gene Stevens is going right ahead with the Half Pint Club's $11,000,000 building pro- ject. We're going to need a lot of housing room for captured Ger- man generals. The Passing Years BY CHARLES MACAULEY Fourth Week Of September 1943 Mrs. Hayes Shop celebrates 41st anniversary.
