Make this from post-wa- r best of all investments regularly for your family for Victory! ! IT COULD HAPPEN "Wc can still lose the war!" Story-telle- r John Nesbitt, of Passing Parade fame, came up with that one of the war's most fascinating tales last ! week. Jle told the tale in the character of a German professor speaking to his class 10 years from now, telling the students how they won the war. And here is a summary of the Professor's speech : "The situation looked black in 1043. The Allied strength was growing and America's production resources were being utilized to their fullest. "It was a desperate time and we had to evolve a desperate remedy. We did. We prepared the largest booby trap in the world. "Slowly we retired in Russia, seeming to put up a fight for each city but always steadily falling back. We retreated until we reached the Polish border, where we had prepared strong positions and there we stopped. d "We gave up Italy with only a action. In the Atlantic, we drew off most of our subs. We kept 60 percent of the Luftwaffe in Germany. "We sent out rumors that Hitler was out and that we were lighting a losing battle. "Japan followed suit and allowed the Americans to win a few minor battles on islands thousands of miles from the Japanese mainland. "As we anticipated, the Allies thought the war was over. They were scoring minor successes, had superiority in the air and their convovs reached port in safety. "Then they struck! Invasion at three points with 2,500,- (XJU men. We put up some resistance at the beach heads. They walked into the trap. "Now we threw every sub into the Atlantic, sinking their supply ships. Lvery saved plane took the air, destroying their aircratt and strahng and bombing the troops."Japan made a feint at the1 Hawaiian Islands and the bulk of the U, S. Navy was drawn; into the Pacific. Casualties were heavy on both sides. "The American isolationists and ready made fascists as sisted. They pointed to the long casualty lists, said that this war never had been any of the U. S. business. "Goering then sprung the "secret weapon" liberal peace terms. England and America accepted, wishing no more blood shed and stalemate. Russia, without allies, was forced out. "We were left in control of the entire continent. Even now our High Command is perfecting plans for the next war the war in which we shall win the world! Thus John Nesbitt spoke.' He had taken world events and woven them into a fantastic tale. We WERE having great success in the Atlantic, the German aircraft were conspicuous ly absent, it looked like Italy would fall. Was it fantastic? The war has produced stranger thinirs Nazi master minds are capable of ideas. The sacri fices now of men and material are unimportant in the long range view of things.

"Following is one of the destructive acts which should be a prominent part of the film: Two days before Wilson started on his second trip in behalf of the League, Senator Lodge showed the dark visage of his soul by introducing a resolution when the League was not before the Senate and there was no legal way for action : 'Resolved that the constitution of the League, in the form now proposed, shall not be accepted by the United States' Thirty-sevesenators signed a round-robiand showed the world that it never could get the necessarv s vote.

DID ROME PROTEST? The destruction of churches and monumental buildings by Aazisand Italian rascists lias run into tremendous hgures. The Office of War Information, the lat week in July, 1943, put out statistics showing that in Great Britain alone more than 13,800 churches, monastaries and other religious buildings have been damaged or destroyed by Axis bombs. On the list are 4.100 churches and of these twenty-twwere designed by the noted Sir Christopher Wren. Among the famous London churches destroyed or damaged the Axis were Westminster Abby, St. Paul's Cathedral, St. by Clement Danes, St. Giles, Austin Friars, St. Margaret's and St. This last named was copied with modernized construction, by All Soul's Unitarian Church, Sixteenth and Harvard Streets, N. W. Washington, D. C, when its members erected their present edifice. The Cathedrals of Canterbury and Liverpool were damaged, while Coventry, considered by many experts to have been one of the most exquisite of early Gothic churches, was demolished save for part of its walls near the chancel that were left standing. In Scotland no less than 121 churches have been hit by Nazi bombs and seven of these were destroyed. From Holland comes word that five large churches in Rot tertlam were destroyed by attacks from the air, and churches were bombed in Delzigl. Rhenen and Vlissingen. In Norway, the Nazis made air attacks on all the churches in Kritiansand, Steinkjaer, Molde. Namsus and Podoe. More than 1,000 churches have been bombed in Poland with nearly every church in Warsaw cither damaged or completely destroyed. The Greeks have charged that the Italians destroyed the historic' Church of St. Sophia of the Greek Orthodox Church. This Church is said to be the oldest in Christendom. Belgium has likewise had its full share of destruction by the Nazis. Churches in the vicinity of Liege, Ka;set and Antwerp were destroyed by bombing. The cathedral of Tougnai was reKrted ruined by fire. In Manila, the Japanese have destroyed or damaged historic Catholic churches. Since the railroad yards in Rome were lombcd by American planes using precision daylight bombing, a big outcry has gone up from Axis countries and from the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in the United States. But there are many persons in the United Nations countries who are asking, why didn't the Pope voice a protest when the Axis was wrecking the many churches listed above? Now that bombing has reached the o Martin's-in-the-Fiekl- s.

And the war is surely changing the pat em of industrial potential. Russia, so long neglible in that re Nh ay gard, now looms vividly. India. Australia, even China, once exporters of raw materials and importers of finished goods, are today undergoing industrial revolutions that portend much.
