NAZI SABOTAGE The man to watch in Europe to-daynext to Hitler is a suave and charming diplomat in Turkey named Franz von Papen. It is al-ways a significant omen when Hitler sends Von Papen to a country. It means he has dire and potent In-tentions regarding that area. It was Von Papen who went to Austria as ambassador to soften it in preparation for the Nazi oc-cupation. It was Von Papen who 28 years ago tried to do the same thing here. And now, with weath-er getting cold in Russia and Hitler running lower and lower on oil, a Nazi squeeze on Turkey becomes almost inevitable. To prepare for it, Ambassador Von Papen has been working overtime in Turkey. Almost forgotten is Von Papen's attempt to soften and sabotage the United States during the last war. But his operations here indicate the lengths to which he may go in Tur-key to bring that country into the AxiSj In 1919, Von Papen was German military attache in Washington when Count Johann von Bernstorfl returned from England with a satchel containing $150,000,000 in German treasury notes. Von Papen, then in Mexico City, hurried north, and Immediately began organlzlig a network of spies. Invasion Via Canada. After selecting his agents care-fully, Von Papen laid the following plans: No. 1. To Invade Canada through British Columbia with the aid of German warships in the Pacific and German reservists in the United States. This plan was vetoed by Von Bernstorfl. No. 2. To blow up the Welland canal. This scheme likewise was abandoned, because the canal was too well guarded. No. 3. To blow up Canadian rail-roads In an effort to prevent trans-portation of Japanese troops through Canada. (The Japanese were righting with the Allies.) No. 4. To blow up the Internation-al bridge at Vanceboro, Maine. This was accomplished through an agent named Werner Horn. Von Papen was so industrious and unscrupulous that he over-reache- d himself, and Wilson demanded his recall. But when he reached home, both he and Bcrnstorff were award-ed decorations, and both promoted! Subsequently, Von Papen became chancellor of Germany and he took part in the conspiracies which brought Hitler into power. RUSSIAN REQUEST A DRIBLET Averell Harriman's confidential report on Russian requests for aid was vastly different from British re-quests after Dunkirk. In compari-son with the British, the Russian orders seemed a mere driblet. After the Lowlands debacle, the British had to start from scratch, having lost practically all their armored equipment and most of their field artillery. The Russians have lost tremendous quantities of material, but judging from their relatively modest requests, they still must have a lot left. One of the chief things they asked for was 75 and 105 mm. guns, which, luckily we can supply. Pro-duction figures are a military secret, but these cannon are now rolling off assembly lines in quan-tity. The Russians also asked for machine guns, which we can furnish also in large numbers, since ma-chine gun production is at a high level. One of the biggest, and pleasant-es- t surprises to Harriman was that the Russians do not need machine tools, at least for the present. This took a big load off his mind, as both the U. S. and Britain have few tools to spare right now. Note: U. S. military experts con-sider lack of between the three Russian armies to be one of the principal reasons for the break through in the center against Moscow. Although there has been a shift of Russian generals, doubt still exists about the of the three armies under a cen- - irai command. INFLATION CURE Here is the inside lowdown on Price Administrator Leon Hender-son's own private preventive against inflation. He disclosed it to a group of Charlestown, W. Va., business men during a speech on the dangers of runaway prices. One of the audience asked Henderson how a business man could best protect himself against inflation. "Work like hell," was the prompt reply, "and go to church regularly." MERRY-GO-ROUN- D Introduced to a British production expert who had just completed a survey of U. S. defense plants. OPM boss William Knudsen took him off his feet by inquiring "What impressed you least?" A sports commentator, sponsored by a shaving cream, called the duke of Windsor In Baltimore, inviting him to appear as guest star on the radio program, the money to be paid to British charity. The duke declined even before be was told the offer was only $100. IjPf (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) SEES 'PLANNED ECONOMY AS FORM OF FASCISM WASHINGTON Is figuring on the war in Europe continuing at least into, and possibly all through 1943, and that we will be a part of It No one has attempted to say when or how up to this time, but It is expected the opening may be with Japan and Hitler's support of the Japs against us. Washington hopes to stay out of active participation in the war un-til our war production can be great-ly increased, in fact trebled. That would mean an annual expenditure of 50 billion dollars a year. It would also mean cutting production for civilian use by at least 50 per cent The opinion In Washington is that all small manufacturing concerns that cannot be adapted to war pro-duction will have to close and get out of business. It will mean the closing of thousands of small fac-tories, a large proportion of them located in small towns. Big business is to be regimented, as the farms are regimented. The1 government will not operate them, but will dictate what they will pro- - duce, whom they will employ and how they will operate. It is to be "planned economy" for American business. When the war is over the "planned economy" is to be applied to busi-ness throughout the world, as well as to America, if America has the "say so" and in Washington they believe America will be in a posi-tion to dictate. It is through such "planned economy" that an after-the-w-ar depression is to be pre-vented. That briefly, is the program at Washington for the future. To me it is not a bright or promising fu-ture, either during the war or after it is over. To me it is the end of the American way of life, the American system of free competi-tion under which we have grown great To me it is the state capital-ism of Fascist Italy. INFLATION WOULD MEAN EQUALIZATION OF POVERTY WE ARE TOLD in Washington that America is to spend 50 billions a year on preparations for war and aid to the democracies. That is about three times as much as we have spent during 1941.. Where are we to get this 50 bil-lion dollars a year? What are we to use for money. Does it mean the printing presses? If it does, it means inflation that is disaster. It means destruction of all our values, as individuals and as a nation. It does not mean the equalization of wealth, but it does mean the equal!- - zation of poverty, and it means poverty for every one, with nothing to divide. Our domestie and foreign policies are so tied together that it is impos-sible to determine where one stops and the other begins. America's future is in the bal-ance, with the scales tipping def-initely against our American way of life, our American civilization. TUEY, TOO, SERVE WHO MAKE CHEESE THE DAIRY SECTION of Wiscon-sin, one of the greatest dairy pro-ducing districts in the world, is a two to five-ho- haul to the Chicago market Wisconsin cheese Is now going to England, purchased and paid for on lease-len- d account by the United States for the English government. Wisconsin cheese is selling in English stores at less than people in Chicago can buy it To help England, it is necessary to provide more than war supplies. Food is a major item. Of the first seven billions appropriated by con-gress for British assistance, prac-tically one billion will be used for food products from American farms, and American farmers have reason to be proud of the are job they doing. ' OUR ARMY FOR A REPUBLIC to create an effective fighting force there must be a purpose, enthusiasm, equip-men- t discipline. Today we have an army of one and a half million men, but to the rank and file of that army, all four ingredients are lack-ing. .To assemble and maintain that army has cost close to two bil-lion dollars. If we are to equip and feed the democracies of the world, it would have been belter if we had kept that million and a half men on the farms and in the factories, where they might have been doing their part in providing the food and equipment so badly needed. They would have been more effective and better satis-ne- THAT SHRINKING DOLLAR . THROUGHOUT the last 200 years m all nations the cost for the neces-itie- i of life-- for food, clothing, shel-ter, fuel-- has taken 65 per cent of the income of each individual. In this country as late as 1905. the nt took an v additional five cents out of each dollar for taxes But taxes are now taking about 30 cents, leaving us only five cents that we can do with as we please. That may account for the decrease in collections at Sunday church services.
