TOUGH ASSIGNMENT
The oft-annihilated Rus
sian army seems to have
overcome the fine fanatic
flower of Teutonic man
hoocj and, led by a general
of the unspeakably inferior
Jewish race, has contami
nated the sacred soil of
Germany. That, in Dr.
Goebbels’ fanciest phrase
ology, is the fact tha
somehow has got to be
brought home to the Ger
man people. And, Oh Doc
tor! we’d hate to have your
job of explaining how
come. — (Anchorage
Times).
PROGRESS AND
PROSPERITY
Columnist Dorothy
Thompson has pointed out
that Gov. Thomas E. Dew
ey, alone among the speak
ers at the Republican con
vention, spoke of “full em
ployment as “the first ob
jective of the national pol
icy,” and what every work
er and soldier in this coun
try wants to hear discuss
ed.
It may be that this is the
heart of the American
problem. Apparently peo
ple the world over want
work more than anything
else. The ancient “curse of
Adam” has become a bless
ing, desired of all men1—ox
at least, of all who see
straight.
The machine age has
done strange things to la
bor problems. It has en
abled one man to do the
work of a hundred or a
thousand, through the use
of mechanical contriv
ances. As far as anyone can
see, there is no end to this
procedure, and future gen
erations should live a rich
er life than anyone could
imagine a generation ago.

MINOR, REVOLUTION
There are those among
us who fear that our Rus
sian ally means to change
the face and political
structure of post-war Eu
rope. It may comfort these
fearful ones to learn of
some changes that the Rus
sians have begun at home.
Several recaptured cities
in the Ukraine have been
given new names. Tarno
pol, for instance, has been
changed to Ternopol. And
Czertkow (pronounced
Cherkov) has become
Chor tko v (pronoun ced
Chortkov).
The revolution may be
under way. But it certain
is proceeding in low gear.
