Music lifts some people to the clouds. For others it takes a B-19 or a P-10. W'ler Missed The Train ryAILWAY transportation is ass vital to I - a healthy circulatory system j i to the .survival of a human being in the! i ent of attack by disease. Allan A. Michie, commenting on Ger-i 1 any's railroad crisis, in Reader's Digest! for November, points to "Hitler's gigantic miscalculation in deliberately neglecting the railroads before the war in order to perfect his pet schemes for superhighways." Hitler's premise was that gasoline engines had replaced steam. But after Munich, when Reichswehr experts finally convinced him that Germany's railroads would be a vital factor in the coming war, it was too late. For once war began, locomotiv? shops had to build tanks, and plans for rehabilitating the railroads had to be dropped. Today, gasoline and rubber are largely diverted to the Army on fronts far from Hitler's great superhighways. Germany's worn-out railroad system is struggling with the nation's entire traffic, which has increased to staggering proportions during the Russian campaign. Britain's sea r V i/blockade has thrown back upon land all traffic between Germany and central and Southern Europe which in peacetime went by sea. The R.A.F. is steadily and fiercely blitzing the weak spots in the already weak Nazi railroad system. Hitler may have made a fatal blunder. The plight of his railroads must be laid squarely at the door of National Socialism which gives to one man the power to "liquidate" any individual judgment other than his own. Our American railroads, operating under private ownership with history-making efficiency, are proving themselves our lifeblood in the fight against the disease of war. i Mr. and Mrs. Joseph ChoquetteTj Dan E.

Shears And Paste | THE FRENCH FLEET t (The Wilson Daily Times) The lone submarine that escaped from the French fleet in Toulon, when the fleet was sunk by its own crews discloses the fact there were orders from Darlan to get out of Tulon by the 14th of November, and these orders would leave the impression that Darlan, after all, suspected what was coming. It had been understood all along that if the Germans broke their treaty with France, not to invade unoccupied France, that the fleet should be destroyed and this agreement was carried out by the men of the fleet. The sympathies of the allied world are with France, and everyone realizes that great spirit of democracy with the French people, and the only way to get rid of the Axis is to consort with the Allies as much as it is within their power. So the opposition to the Germans is reflected in the sabotage that is going on against Germany, both in Vichy and unoccupied France. The French fleet was a very powerful contingent, and if Hitler had gotten hold of it, it would have been a terrible weapon against the Allies. The officers and men knew this, hence its destruction. The trouble with France, which caused her debacle and defeat by the Germans, was due to a division among the people over the various "isms" that seemed to afflict the world since the Versailles treaty, when we failed to hold down the Germans and make them bend to the treaty to which they agreed in the formation of the league of nations.
