TUMBLING
SATELLITES
At the end of the last
war. Bulgaria surrendered
on September 29, 1918.
Turkey signed an armis
tice on October 30 Hun
garian and Australian Re
publics were declared on
October 1, Bavarian on
November 8. The Kaiser
abdicated on November 9
and two days later the
Armistice was signed at
Compiegne.
In this war, Rpumania
collapsed August 24. Bul
garia was expected to
Come before Rumania, but
Bulgaria stopped to haggle
over territory, and Ru
mania stepped into -->■ her
place.
Prom September 29 to
November 11/1918, was 43
da^s— six weeks. Prom
August 24, this year when
Rumania fell brings the
time to October 6. Could
„ this be the great day?
Speculation in these af
fairs, as in most others, is
futile. Nothing is ever
exactly the same. When
the satellites go tumbling,
it seems that the planet is
breaking up. But soon the
Hitler regime will appear
in the memory as a mere
meteor—flash across the
sky, and gone forever.

thousand year.? — Fair

RUSSIA WON’T
FORGET
The temper of the Rus
sian people with regard to
Germany isn’t softening
any if we may take the
following editorial from a
recent issue of “Izvestia”,
official government news
paper, as an indicator:
“There are people who
hope that Doom Castles
I (the kaiser’s Dutch refuge
after 1918) await the Hit
ler clique,” the newspaper
said in an editorial on in
ternational affairs. “Vain
hope!”
“The approach of Fascist
criminals to the bar of jus
tice has activized those
ready to defend the Hitler
ite robbers. For instance,
■ the pope has appealed to
' London inhabitants to for
give the Germans for air
raids and treat them in a
Christian attitude.
-“The Turkish newspaper
Ulus has taken Marshal
Petain -under itf protection
from the wrath of the
French people.
“In America, (Frederick
J.) Labby, secretary of the
National Council for the
| prevention of. War, . sug
gested signing a peace with
Gefmany because it is
senseless to continue
slaughter. The very sensi
ble lady, Dorothy Thomp
son, implores, “Don’t let
the Germans suffer too
much because this might
provoke discontent of the
German people.’ The suf
ferings of the world mean
nothing to her, but she
faints at the imagined suf
ferings of the Germans.”
It is said that one of the
items on, the agenda of the
conference of Churchill
and Roosevelt was peace
terms for Germany. They
may confer, steal the head
lines, and make votes for
! Roosevelt, but when it
comes time to do business
! with the wreck that was
Germany, Uncle Joe will
be having quite a bit to
say—:(Alaska Weekly).
