FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1943 NO POWER CAN DEFEAT GOD: Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Prov. 3:25-26. Recognition For Farmers The Department of Agriculture an nounces that it is considering a plan to give merit awards to fanners who, in 1943, achieve unusual produc tion of foodstuffs needed by the United States. We agree with Secretary Wickard that the farmers' contribution to the welfare of the nation is "richly de serving of recognition" and we hope that some scheme can be worked out that will result in the just award of certificates to loyal and patriotic farmers. Vegetable Gardens In Style! In view of the contemplated ration ing of more than two hundred articles of food, canned and preserved, it is probably unnecessary to suggest to Perauimans County people that they make Dlans for a vegetable garden in 1943 and, so far as possible, preserve; foodstuffs for use when fresh vege-; tables and fruits are not available, j The Dart of our population living in agricultural and semi-agricultural areas will Drobablv fare better than the city dwellers in regard to food, sunnlv but onlv if thev take advant-, age of available opportunities to grow and preserve foodstuffs to ment available supplies. supple-! ' ! Hitler's Two Chances To Win An American newspaper corres pondent, writing from London, says that, as the British see it, Hitler's only chance to win this war is to drive a wedge between the Allies or cut them off from one another by sea. Apropos the first chance, it is worth noting that Hitler has always depended upon Quislings in all coun tries. He openly declared that he would destroy his enemies from with in and asserted that he would find willing helpers, saying, "We shall not need to bribe them, they will come of their own accord. Ambition arid delusion, party squabbles and rSflf-seeking arrogance will drive item." ' The probability is that the unity of the United Nations is now too strong for Hitler to place great de pendence upon his strategy of de stroying from within. Just the same, there is a danger. We have in the United States vociferous critics of Great Britain and there is some answered at roll call. Mrs. L.

Mrs. Mayes gave the Scrip winning the war. ture lesson. The hymn of the year, Many military and naval experts believe that the construction of U- boats is engaging unprecedented at- tention in Germany because the Nazis understand that the outcome of the great conflict depends upon control of the sea. Only by main taining sea supremacy can the Unit ed Nations hope to secure effective combat action in the far-flung areas of combat in the Pacific, in Africa, in Europe and in Russia. Undoubtedly, this peril has been foreseen by Anglo-American leaders. Great emphasis is being placed upon the construction of destroyers and other vessels capable of waging war upon U-boats. Moreover,, the use of patrol planes continues to impede the U-boats, some of which have been destroyed by aerial attacks. With American soldiers in Great Britain, in North Africa, in the Southwest Pacific and in various j other overseas posts, it is necessary, for the United States to strain every I .resource to assure a safe line of sup- ply. ... Not only must we deliver the ' ttrrhnnm man bda rna rnnio rr war. i fare' to ie combat areas, but, al . uMtneL via must, ho in a noui firm, if -whenever safety demands their removal. TO UOtl C R GOI N G AH E AO 't- Emphasis On Unity General Giraud's arrest of certain French leaders in North Africa fur nishes fresh and somewhat startling evidence of this war's political pit falls. Fuller information may satis factorily explain and justify this ac tion of the new High Commissioner, as in fact necessary to "prevent further assasinations." But General Giraud's refusal to divulge the names of the men involved while stating that some of them are among his best friends adds confusion to a confused situation. Moreover, the report that two of them are officers who aidea the American landings in Africa creates an unfortunate impression. And this happens just when it had bee-un to annear that replacement of Admiral Darlan bv General Giraud had opened the way to unity among Frenchmen Americans who have be come increasingly impatient, first with continued recognition of Vichy and second with the "affaire Darlan," are exploding: "Why doesn't General Eisenhower ta'-e over find tell those Frenchmen what's what?" Doubtless the State Department would answer that "taking over" a country isn't so s'mple as the Nazis have learned. It will be remembered that although manifestly dissatisfied with the Petain-Darlan type of colla- bora tion, the Nazis waited many months before exercising more com- plete control of French administration, througn Laval, ana men more montns before taking charge themselves, There is much more to the quest:on in North Africa than getting military footholds. Yet those footholds make , the American Army the ultimate au thority in French Africa and America will he held responsible for any fail ure to clarify and unity rrencn efforts. Too much should not be made of riet Lou Layden and Norma Wins evidences of d sunity. That is what low, all of near Winfall, spent Tues riprlin wants. The fine response of day night with Misses Marjorir and the Fighting French forces to General Thelma White. Giraud as successor to Darlan is far more important than the latest con tretemps. And if General de Gaulle carries through the plan to visit Africa and after conferences there comes to the United States, there will be bright hopes for a unified and greatly env'gorated French front. The emphasis should be on this pros pect. Christian Science Monitor. CIRCLE NO.
