Some of the newspaper comMine Workers League at rom A ne Nn t N evada City mentators on war events are more canny than others. One or two do not fall for the dismay and gloom which various propagandist .organizations now are so industriously spreading. These one or two happen to think along lines followed in this column. There is plenty of room, of course, for apprehension among all thoughtful people, regarding our domestic policies, the constant obstruction to an all out defense effort offered by saboteurs and radicals in labor onganizations, but the outlook abroad is not; so black as commonly painted. As we read the portents in the news, the hour grows later and later for Herr Hitler. Note, ‘for instance, that since the all out air struggle for Crete, which brought victory for the Germans, bomb. pulverizing of British. citjes has greatly diminished. Why? Well, it seems to us that a reasonable inference would be that German air forces have been largely _eoncentrated in the Mediteranean area. Now of course, Hitler can return those air forces whenever hi chooses to his air fields in ‘France, Belgium and Holland. In ‘fact he can shuttle them back and forth as he wills. But he has not ‘peen doing it so far as we may judge from bombing reports, The reason we think is that planes fly‘ine’ Fong’ distances between “air“ports burn a lot of very valuable gasoline.; They consume, mile for mile, just as much in non-combatant traveling as they do on _ errands of destruction. We suspect ‘that if Hitier still’:had’ abundant “supplies, of gasoline, he would shift planes hither and yon, straf‘fing the British Isles at frequent ‘intervals as well as striking hard blows at-British strongholds in the Mediteranean regions. This is one instance, it seems to us where a little analysis of the facts, filtering over the wires from the war arena indicate that Hitler is not doing so well. We have always contended that the thinner ‘the Germans spread their troops, the weaker and more vulnerable their position becomes. Invasion results in the destruction of war supplies, the disruption of communications, and bitter stirring of hatreds among those invaded. The invasion of Rumania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia, especially the last has undoubtedly reduced the flow of food, ores and oil into German industrial centers. Huge armies moved into these countries probably consume all the surplus food, and hamper, when they do not destroy, the agricultural and industrial economies of the victim nations. Our news of the war and conClusions drawn from events reported move in cycles of gloom or rejoicing. When the British put the Italians to rout through Lybia and beyond, commenators generally assured their readers that tht tide had turned, that Britain was now ready to give the Germans a terrific walloping in the Mediteranean, and having whipped them there, would be able to send part of its naval forces to aid in the battle jn the Atlantic. Now we hear that the British still resolutely determined on eventual victory are becoming discouraged. Their resistance is “brittle,” and near the breaking point. Peace, a negotiated peace, is being discussed as a possibility. To us this sort of talk is just baloney. We believe it originates in wishful thinking and propaaganda. by German agencies in this country. One thing that does seem certain in this new cycle of news interpretation, a gloomy cycle, is that the United States is not getting supplies to the British either fast enough or in sufficient volume. That failure we can place squarely on the President’s shoulders. He has almost as much power as Mr. Hitler. He does not delegate his power to capable men who could get results, he makes noble speeches by the fire-side, and he postpones decisions and actions on such crucial matters as radical i (Edward Hamilton, president of the Gold Minerg Union, an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor, and George Starbird, active in the AIL organization, were expelled from the Nevada County Mine Workers Protective League at last Thursday’s meeting. Both were members of the MYPL as well as the AML union. The two men were found guilty of violation of ‘the constitution and by-laws of the league, Nevada County independent labor union and bargaining agent for all mines in this area except the Lava Cap.
