U. S. Naval Receiving Station
Shoemaker, Calif., 28 April.
Dear Editor Bill-I was reading
The Star of April 13 and came
across the editorial "Give the Boys
a Break." I hate to think that the
people of our town are not doing
their bit for the soldiers of Camp
Gordon Johnston. In some places
1 have been the citizens have been
very cold towards men in the ser-
vice, and it isn't such a nice feel-
ing. In one place there was a sign
that read "Sailors and Dogs Keep
Off the Lawn." No doubt some of
the fellows caused such a feeling,
but there are a lot of nice fellows
around also.
Out here on the west coast the
people are pretty nice towards the
fellows, but not so much as the
people back east. It seems as
though most of them are out to get
what little money we make. A
haircut is one buck. I believe Bal-
timore is the nicest liberty a fel-
low can have. The people there,

A grateful Nation has girded it-
self for the Mighty Seventh War
Loan for 14 billions -of dollars, half
of which has been assigned as the
individual sales quota. Accordifig to
reports from state chairmen reach-
ing Ted R. Gamble, national di-
'rector of the War, Finance Division
of the Treasury in Washington, the
Nation is ready for the huge task.
Mr. Gamble was enthusiastic about
results. He said "We're prepared to
do the best job in the 7th War
Loan." Mr. -Gamble said that
"not ..nl is tothere n-r:.re n.l.ney
available than

riod of the 7th ,I ,

Treasury Henry
Morgentraau said
seven billions of' MORGENTHAU
dollars has been
assigned as the quota for individual
investors and that the major
emphasis throughout the drive will
be placed on the quota for individ-
uals. The individual quota is the
highest established in any of the
previous drives, the secretary said.
The E Bond quota alone is 4 bil-
lion. The 7th War Loan seeks near-
ly as much in the one drive as was
asked in the first two drives of last
year which were held up to this
time. The two drives of this year,
therefore, will seek nearly as much
as was sought in the three drives
of 1944.
The Secretary stated that there is
every evidence that Federal ex-
penditures are going to remain at
a high level for some time to come,
and that the Seventh War Loan pro-
gram was designed to obtain maxi-
mum funds necessary to prosecute
the War from non-bank investors.
The securities, which will be sold
under the direction of the State War
Finance Committees, are as follows:
Series E, F and G Savings Bonds,
Series C Savings Notes, 22% Bonds,
2V4% Bonds, 1/2% Bonds, 7% Cer-
tificates of Indebtedness. The 1/%%
Bonds will not be offered in the
Drive to corporations.
The Drive for individuals will ex-
tend from May 14 to June 30. How-
ever, an intensification of activities
in the sale of Series E bonds began
April 9, when millions of persons on
-payroll savings plans throughout
the country were asked to enlarge
their participation as a part of the
Seventh War Loan. All Series E,
F and G Savings Bonds and Series
C Savings Notes processed through
the Federal Reserve Banks between
April 9 and July 7 will be credited
to the Drive.
During the final phase of the Drive
which will cover the period from
June 18 through June 30, subscrip-
tions will be received from all other
non-bank investors for the 24% and
2%% marketable bonds and the cer-
tificates of indebtedness.

By New Survey

Thousands of men now serving
in the army have already made
fairly definite plans to establish
businesses of their own in the
post-war period, according to re-
turns from a sampling of 20,000
enlisted men, made by the info-r
nation and education division of
the Army Service Forces.
The surveys, made public in an


article appeairng in the January
issue. of Domestjc. Commerce, was
conducted among soldiers in this
country and abroad.
The main findings of the survey
as listed by the .article are:
1. Eleven per cent of the men
plan more or less definitely to en-
ter business for themselves or in
conjunction with a family rela-
tive.
. 2. Of this number, more than 80
per cent have had .previous experi-
ence in the field they expect to
enter. About half were self-enw-
ployed before entering service.
3. About 50 per cent expect to
go into retail trade. Another 25
per cent plan to establish service

Our Country Right or Wrong

V-E DAY

V-E Day was quiet in Port St. Joe. There
was no wild rejoicing and the majority of our
people offered up prayers that J-E Day would
soon arrive in order that this sensless slaugh-
ter could end and our young men and women
return again to their homes., and loved ones.
The ten days from April 29 to May 8 will
go down in history as one of the greatest pe-
riods of fulfillment the world has ever known,
for in that brief time utter darkness of the
nether pit closed in upon Anti-Christ. Fascism
and Naziism and all their hellish works dis-
integrated under the sledging of Allied mili-
tary might. Victory in Europe was achieved.
The terms to be dictated to Germany prob-
ably will be long in the making, for the sordid
spectacle uncovered by Allied troops in Ger-
many have swept the civilized world with a
feeling of sickening revulsion toward the
German race as a whole, for despite the cries
of the German people that they knew nothing
of the atrocities being committed we know
only too well that they could not help but
know and condone. the unspeakable crimes
that were committed.
There will be those among us who will
cry out that mercy be shown, but the horrors
uncovered and the stories yet to be told call
for justice to be done to the fiends who con-
ceieved and executed such terrible deeds.
As a consequence, Germany and her allies
can expect a stern and exacting peace. It will
and should include not only those who were
responsible for the shocking atrocities, but


also those who actively helped to bring such
conditions about and those who, though they
took no actual part in the crimes, still share
the guilt by tacitly condoning them.


MOTHER'S DAY
Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and being
Mother's Day, it will be a day during which
a nation will pay tribute to the greatest wo-
man on earth-Mother. Nations may come
and nations may go; statesmen, soldiers, pub-
lic heroes, champions, great artists, writers
and poets, all the galaxy of the great and
near-great too, may come and go, but there
is only one woman in the world who can be
or has been Mother.
But next Sunday for a number of mothers
in Port St. Joe the day will be sad and empty,
for their sons have given their lives that their
mothers and all the rest of us may continue
to live in peace and security. These mothers
can only hark back to the days when their
noty-departed sons played at their feet or
tugged at their dress with baby fingers; how
in moments of distress they came running to
pick up the little form and kiss away the in-
jury, the hurt, or soothe the wounded heart.
Yes, these things remain to these empty-
hearted mothers, for time cannot erase the
memories of childhood days and Mother, who
acted as buffer between childhood and the
world.
Mother's Day will be observed in the
churches of Port St. Joe next Sunday, and
we know that. these particular mothers will
not be" forgotten, for the heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community is theirs.


TWO DOWN ONE TO GO!
Italy and Germany knocked out!, Japan is
next on the list.
Japan is strong, stronger than we like to
believe, although comnion sense tells us this
is true. The enemy of the Pacific is girded for
50 years of war. Her millions of workers are
working day in and day out to turn out war
equipment and foodstuffs; her,soldiers would
rather die for their emperor than surrender.
This is the enemy .next on our list. This is
our challenge. And the best method to meet
that challenge and to win is to support
the Mighty Seventh War Loan.

back. Foxy Von Rundstedt withdrew
his armies over the Rhine for the
last stand as bastions like Cologne
had fallen.
Now the Allies could move into the
interior of Germany where no such
barriers as the Siegfried line or the
highlands of the Rhine would con-
front them. The counsels of the Nazi
leaders to the German people were
desperate. German might which had
ruled Europe and threatened the
world for five years was at an end.
The climax had arrived with the
dramatic tenseness of a Wagnerian
opera.
On the Eastern front the Red army
had continued the amazing offensive
that had started far to the East in
the Ukraine and Crimea-an offen-
sive that swept everything before it.
Trading space for time, the Nazi
high command had withdrawn its
remaining armies steadily west-
ward. The fall of Warsaw had con-
cluded a pause for realignment of
Red forces. From then on the in-
exorable Russian machine ground
forward, to Berlin itself. cutting off
industrially valuable Silesia and
sweeping through Pomerania and up
to the Baltic ports of Danzig and
Stettin. .
Allied might on the ground and in
the air and on the sea had spelled
Hitler's doom. Scheme and contrive
as they might, the Nazi leaders
could find no way out.
i Victory in Europe was ours.

According to him, the defeat or
Germany only results in a -redis-

of naval strength.
"Sure," said Forrestal, "we're
going to demo'bolze eventually,
and., like the army in establishing

when the time comes for dembili-
zation to give due consideration
to the factors of length of service,

1941 Saw America I

Plunged Into War

As Japan Struck
The year 1941 was a bleak one for
the democratic nations of the world.
England impatiently asked the
United States when we were coming
-in, while we went out of our way in
the effort to stay out of the war anpd
mind our own business.
In the spring of 1941, the Germans
invaded Jugoslavia and drove the
British out of Greece, after Musso-
lini's troops were run ragged by the
poorly equipped Greeks.
Things had reached such a pass
that Rudolph Hess, the "deputy
fuehrer," flew to England and para-
chuted to safety with what is reli-
ably reported to have been peace
plans for a beaten England.
German paratroopers took the
strategic island of Crete and it
looked as though nothing could stop
the all-powerful sweep of Axis arms.
Hitler Turns on Russia.
But Hitler, balked in the west by
England's stubbornness, decided to
attack Russia.
On June 22, 1941, again without a
previous declaration of war, Hitler
sent his troops storming into Russia
in the old familiar pattern of the
blitz.
In the early days of that campaign
in the east, everything followed the
neat pattern drawn for it by the cold
military scientists of the German
general staff-the Prussians of an-
cient war lineage, and the ruthless
Nazis who put into practice what
they had learned in Spain, Poland,
France, the Netherlands and Bel-
gium.
Russia was supposed to fall in
three weeks, or at the most, three
months. It was popularly supposed
to be an awkward giant, big but
clumsy on its feet and unable to
stand up against the repeated body
blows of the smaller but efficient
German war machine.
Japan Strikes U. S.
While the Germans swept into
Russia and closed in on schedule,
Japan was readying a sneak attack
of her own.
On December 7, 1941, the Japs at-
tacked the U. S. military and naval
bases at Pearl Harbor and knocked
us, with one foul blow, into the mid-
dle of the world war.
Thus 1941 drew to a close, with the
Germans winning in the battle
against Russia, and the confident
Jap military machine moving stead-
ily and remorselessly to its objec-
tive-the complete subjugation of
the western Pacific and a Japanese
domination of Asia.
The United States was in the war,
but it was in a defensive role and
was not supposed to be able to do
anything offensive before everything
would be over. in Europe and we
would be alone against Germany,
Italy and Japan.

'Beginning of End'

Came 'With 'Allied

Victory in Africa
Hitler committed his second stra-
tegic blunder in 1942 when he failed
to conquer Egypt and seize control
of the Mediterranean.
The Axis knew the value of the
Mediterranean and by keeping con-
trol of the western end through use
of the Italian fleet and Tunisia, kept
the British from using it as.a supply
line for Egypt and the Suez canal.
But that was not enough. British
convoys dared the Italian fleet and
brought supplies to embattled Malta,
bombed- day and night like nothing
was ever bombed before. But the
supplies went through and Malta
stood, giving the British a base.
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the
German commander in North Af-
rica, had made two attempts to end
British resistance in Libya. The
Axis forces -had almost been suc-
cessful in the first two attempts but
had been checked and then driven
back. -. Now, Rommel decided.to try
again.
Rommel's FinatlAttempt..
RBrnmel la cld i ththetd and
final Axis offensive against. Egypt
in May, 1942. Nothing happened at
first and then the British were am-
bushed and lost almost all its armor
tragic blow at that stage. Thq
r4tish fell back to l Alamein, only
.0 miles from Alexandria, with their
backs to the wall..
- Rommel tried, fi vain for the final





brea-kthrough, but victory eluded
him. The British aerial bombard-
ment of German home industry and
transportation, Hitler's failure to.
crush the Russians, and the steady
growth of Allied air power in the
eastern Mediterranean reduced the
assistance that Rommel was able to
get and kept him from getting all
the supplies he needed.
The Axis was beaten in the Medi-
terranean when the British broke
through in a counterattack at El
Alamein and then drove the Afrika
Korps west to the final defeat in the
fall of '42 and the crushing Allied
victories following the landing of
American troops in North Africa on
November 8, 1942.
Progress in Pacific.
In the Pacific, the U. S. fleet had
won notable victories during that
fateful year of 1942. We had beaten
the Japs decisively in the Coral sea
battle in May and had whipped them

Combined Strength of the
Allies Drives Naziism
To Defeat.
Victory for the Allies in
Europe the most anxiously
awaited event in modern his-
tory-means the liberation of
a continent which has been
under the domination of mili-
tary might ever since the Ger-
man blitz rolled into Poland
in the fall of 1939.
Starting with Hitler's blood-
less conquests of trusting
neighbors, the threat which
has hung over the world has
finally been dissipated by an
overwhelming superiority of
the Allies in men, materials,
air power, sea power and the
overwhelming desire of free
peoples to rid the world of the
tyranny which has "blacked
out the lights of Europe."
The Allied victory and the capitu-
lation of Germany has once more re-
stored freedom to Europe. Victory is
sweet after the period of despotism
which has prevailed but, as in 1918,
the world must appreciate that vic-
tory is one of arms alone so far
and must be followed by a peace
that will ensure the world against
anything like the rise of National
Socialism again. .
June Invasion Started It.
Today the Allies have beaten Ger-
'many to her knees, something that
was beyond the comprehension of
most of the world little less than a
year ago. The invasion of Europe
started it in June, 1944, and the
quick success in France and the
drive to the heart of the reich itself
blasted the theory of a "European
fortress" that Hitler said was im-
pregnable.

o


Early in the morning of Septem-
ber 1, 1939, Nazi panzer divisions
crossed the border into Poland and
"officially" started World War II.
Hitler had already negotiated the
controversial neutrality pact with
Russia ahd had that protection
i against interference with his plans
in the east. In the west, the French
were entrenched behind the "im-
pregnable" Maginot line and thought
they were safe no matter what hap- ir
opened.
Poland; weak and isolated, with a
large army that was composed
mostly of cavalry regiments and
foot soldiers, was no match for the
lightning-like thrusts of the mech-
anized divisions that Hitler sent into
battle. The Poles, cut off from any
possible aid from Great Britain and
France, were doomed. Less than a
month of fighting was all that the
Germans needed to capture the
country.
The "blitzkrieg" had won the first
of its many battles.
By October, the Germans could
now turn their attention to France,
crouched behind its walls of fortifi-
cations and oblivious to the threat
of conquest from around the ends of
the Maginot line.
Occupation of Norway.
But before he could deal with
France, Hitler had to attend to the
possible threats from the north,
where Great Britain might have
been able to land troops in Norway
or Sweden and sweep down on an
unprotected flank. Therefore, the
Germans occupied Denniark and
then Norway, beating down the
feeble resistance that those peace-
loving countries were able to mar.
shal. It was all so ridiculously easy.
By May, 1940, the battle plans of
the Germans were set and the
"blitzkrieg" moved again-this time"
striking the Netherlands and Bel-
gium in quick succession, moving
on to France, and just missing the
British army of occupation at Dun-
kirk. Hitler's divisions attacked
from all directions, his tanks and
panzers blasting everything in their
path after the Luftwaffe had pre-
pared the way by blasting the en-
emy's airdromes and defenses.
Heavy and medium bombers
ranged behind the front lines, where
dive bombers "pin-pointed" the
targets into destruction. Tanks
roared through the holes cut in the
enemy lines and then fanned out'be-

Forming of Axis
Was First Phase
Of Long Struggle
Hitler made his first move in the
long chain of events that was to
lead to World War II in 1936, after
he had secretly built up a German
army and had rearmed the country
in direct violation of the Versailles
treaty.
In March, 193.6, Hitler ordered the
first of his goose-stepping legions
into the Rhineland, cutting France
off from her eastern allies and set-
ting up a barrier that could not be
circumvented by anything short of
total war-which he knew France
was not ready to declare.
Then in October, 1936, Hitler and
Mussolini formed the Rome-Berlin
pact, giving both fascist nations the
agreements they needed to bully the
world. Mussolini had already taken
Ethiopia and had defied the British
navy to try to enforce sanctions
against him-the only threat which
the democratic nations of the world
were able to make.
In March, 1938, Hitler grabbed
Austria and he now found himself
with a perfect gateway to Czecho-
slovakia, where the only real threat
in arms was to be found in the well-
equipped Czech army.
Munich Agreement.
But even 'that army found itself
hemmed in en three sides and Hit-
ler and Mussolini were ready to dic-
tate the terms to Czechoslovakia and

The jubilant Nazi government
thought that with the fall of France,
Great Britain would sue for peace 0
and the short, cheap war that had .
been so carefully planned would be
over.
But Winston Churchill had become
prime minister of Britain.
Germany had gained the support
of Italy through the famous "stab
in the back" when the Italians de-
clared war on France just in time
to get in on the kill. With that aid
in the south, and the fact that a
British army had just escaped anni-
hilation, Hitler could not be blamed
for thinking England would ask for
peace.
But Hitler did not reckon on
Churchill. Here was a leader who
won his people not with glib prom-
ises and fair speech, but with the
promise of nothing but "blood, sweat
and tears" and told them bluntly to
get ready to defend their homeland
"in the streets, and on the beaches"

was Major actor
In Final Victory
In direct contrast to the Axis vic-
tories at the start of 1941 aAd 1942,
the opening of 1943 saw the Germans
lose the battle of Stalingrad, defeat-
ed at Tunis and Bizerte and a sleep-
ing giant of American industrial
power slowly but inevitably shaking
off his shackles and rising to full
production for war.
Through most of '42 the Russians
had fallen back before the German
drive. But then Stalin ordered his
men to stand before Moscow and in
a brilliant trap caught and extermi-
nated whole German armies and
sent the broken remainder reeling
back on the northern front.
Stalingrad, whose downfall had
been, promised innumerable times
by Hitler, refused to fall. And sud-
denly the Russians clamped a giant
pincers around the besieging army
and the Germans suffered the loss
of another army corps and felt the
powerful sweep of the Red army.
Russians Smash Ahead.
From the high water mark of Ger-
man conquest in the fall of 1942, the
Russians quickly reformed and won
victory after smashing victory dur-
ing 1943.
The Russians stretched their
colossal manpower along a 2,000-
mile front and counterattacked
whenever they found a German
weakness. The Germans had
planned to fight a war of their own
choosing-to pick a spot and blast
away at it until they broke through
and then go on to clean up in the
familiar blitzkrieg pattern.
But now it was the Russians who
could pick their spots. Instead of
concentrating on one place, the
Wehrmacht now had to watch doz-
ens of fronts for the Soviets were
apt to, choose the most unlikely
places for an attack, and once it
was launched, nothing the Germans
could do could stop it. 'The victim
of blitzkrieg had learned his lessons
well, and the teacher was now get-
ting a demonstration of the old tech-
nique-and with some added inno-
vations.
At the end of 1943,' an offensive
aimed at Germany and the German
armies from the Russian front
seemed more likely to succeed than
anything set in motion from the
Mediterranean up to that time. The
western front was still to be heard
from.
Hitler's armies had suffered their
greatest defeats on the Russian
front.
