CLAIMS FRENCH CITIZENS ARMED
Writer Says Household Firearms Concealed From Nazis.
There are many, perhaps thousands, of residents of occupied
their family firearms as ordered by the Germans, but who have hidden them for the day when they can be used against their ' conquerers, Bernhard Ragnar, foreign news: paper correspondent, reported here today. : Mr. Ragnar, who also is past commander of the French Department of the American Legioh, was in Indianapolis on a lecture tour and spoke to members of the national executive committee of the Legion Auxiliary yesterday. The committee met here to organize its half-million Auxiliary members for defense service. The members will register for voluntary service March 15, and there is to be a test mobilization the first week in May. The program was presented by Mrs. T. Louis Chess of San Mateo, Cal, chairman of the national vol. untary service committee, In an interview, Mr. Ragnar said that there must be thousands of shotguns and other hunting rifles, in addition to revolvers and pistols, hidden in French attics and in the ground.
Foresees Opportunity He said that he firmly believed “there will be the opportunity some day” for Frenchmen to use these arms and that the Frenchmen “will use them.” When the Germans occupied France, Mr. Ragnar lived in his apartment in Paris, where he resided for 19 years. When he left France in September, he was a correspondent for a Chicago newspaper. He said that the spirit and morale of the conquered French is “improving” and that he would “guess” that 80 per cent of the French citizens are ready and willing to rise up again to fight the Nazis when the chance presents itself. French Are Mum Maxime Weygand, chief of the defeated French Army, and now in
€eK| Africa will “in time” be fighting
against the Germans and Italians, Mr. Ragnar believes and that “in time” he will be taking his orders to do so from Marshal Petain, leader of the French Government in unoccupied France. At present, French citizens in occupied France are “keeping mum” and out of trouble with the occupying Army because it is “far too dangerous” to do otherwise, Mr. Mr. Ragnar added, every once in a while a German soldier's body is found “floating in a river near Paris.”

How Hitler Stands Now—R.A.F. Bombings Are Breeding Reich's Distrust in His Lies
(Continued from Page One)
raids is the effect they have had on morale. Lacking long-range bombers, remote from important objectives, and outnumbered three to one, the R. A. F. already has made itself felt to a degree which is amazing under the circumstances.
For the rest, conditions inside Germany can afford none but the coldest comfort to the Reich’s enemies. As long as the Nazis can maintain present conditions in the - .country, there will be little or no reason fo expect the German people to collapse.
It is true that the people are on short rations of food, clothing and fuel, but these rations are adequate to sustain life indefinitely, and health, as far ahead as there is any use in trying to see. The Germans could hold out for years on even lesser rations. And even the present ones can probably be maintained at least until fall, and even longer unless the British can tighten the blockade and bomb the Reich more heavily than it has yet been possible for them to do. The Reich, furthermore, has or can obtain all it needs for years to come, until Germany is more effectively bombed and blockaded, of essential industrial raw materials, including both fuel and lubricating oils, Subject to the same reservation, the present volume of industrial production in Germany can be maintained and even increased. The plant capacity is there, until it gets effectively bombed, and so is an adequate supply of skilled and unskilled labor, unless and until the workers are starved and bombed into inefficiency, a mood to sabotage, or a mood to quit. The German state railways have been deteriorating for years. They could not possibly serve both the civil and the military needs of the Reich. But they do not have to serve both. Civil needs are curtailed, and the railways can serve military needs without much trouble,
Nor will financial problems confound the Nazis during the predictable future.
Nazi methods in this field already have been reported in detail. They consist,” essentially, of the stimulation of production by means of credit expansion, the curtailment of consumption by rationing, the strict control of the capital and money markets and prices by Government manipulation, and the appropriation of the margin between production and consumption by the regime. The Nazis can go on with these methods for months and maybe for years to come.
Internal opposition, furthermore, is far too feeble to endanger the regime. It is disorganized, divided and confused. It sends a few handbills through the malls, from time to time, it succeeds in broadcasting for a while within the Reich, but to no appreciable effect and not even for any appreciable length of time. It must be discounted as impotent unless and until conditions notably
Mrs change.
The difficulties of beating Germany must not be underestimated. On the one hand, Britain stands
oy in mortal peril of defeat within the
next few months unless it gets the T {ships and planes it needs in time. °lon the other hand, Germany's whole position is terrifyingly strong, not only in the immediate military sense, but also in other respects. And yet Germany can be heaten. Ever since the fall of France, Nazi propaganda has concentrated on the claim that Germany cannot be beaten. The Reich is bound to win, the Nazis keep insisting. The best that Britain can hope for is
‘la long-drawn-out stalemate from which no victor could emerge. It is
better, therefore, to accept the inevitable now and come to terms with them, the Nazis say. This propaganda is designed to serve a dual purpose: It is designed to encourage the German people and their allies and friends to go on fighting, or to begin really fighting in earnest, and it is intended to undermine the will
48. |to fight of the British people and
their allies and friends.
Most of all, it is intended to deter the United States from doing anything effective enough soon to make any real difference in the length and outcome of the war.
. It would be suicidal folly to underestimate the possibilities of a German victory. The Nazis may indeed win the war, by a combinae tion of methods and circumsténces reported in yesterday's article in the present series, unless the United States asserts itself sufficiently and quickly and on a sufficiently large scale to prevent the Nazis from
winning. But it would also be criminal and suicidal folly to believe the Nazi claim that Germany is invincible. Germany can be beaten. And not only need there be no stalemate, but, on the contrary, the chances are decidedly against a stalemate, no matter who wins the war,
SPECIAL LONG RUN BRAND
: | on 9:

Germany can be beaten if and when three things happen: First and most urgent of all, Britain must not be allowed to be beaten.
Then, when this has been assured, two more things must happen: First, the German people must be made to feel the war much more acutely than they have felt it thus far.
Second, an alternative to the present regime in Germany and the present order in Europe and the world must be offered the German people which they themselves can be convinced would be a ‘real improvement on their present lot and that of Europe and which the German people can be convinced they would really receive if they stopped fighting.
The German people can most effectively be made to feel the war much more acutely by action which would force a reduction in food rations and other supplies within the Reich and by the carrying of actual military operations into Germany on a much larger scale than it has beep possible to carry them thus ar. Invasion Long Way . Off An invasion of the continent by land forces most probably will be impossible for some time to come. But the British blockade can be tightened, if Britain gets enough ships, and the bombing of the Reich can be increased if the RAF gets enough planes. Britain needs merchant-vessels to supply itself, and it needs warships to convoy the merchant vessels and to tighten the blockade. It needs long-range bombers to attack Germany and to help maintain the blockade, and it needs fighter planes to protect England and to escort the bombers going to the Reich. If Britain does not get enough ships and enough planes in time, it may yet be beaten. If it does get them in time, it can win.
Blows ‘Can Be Decisive
In time, the effects of the blows Britain can strike at the Reich, if adequately armed, will be decisive in the material sense—in the damage that can be done to military objectives and in the choking off of indispensable supplies. . And some time before the material effect of these blows becomes decisive, the moral effect may in itself turn the scales—the effect, not only on German and British morale,
but also the effect on the morale of the occupied countries, the “true neutrals,” and of the friends and allies of both the Germans and the British besides. Morale is overwhelmingly important in all wars, but it is even more important than usual in the present conflict. For.the present war is a revolutionary war in its nature, its purposes and the methods it is being fought; the morale of most of the people is notably different from their morale in previous wars; and shifts in morale can be brought about more quickly and on a larger scale than ever before, a fact that only the Nazis have properly understood and acted upon to date but which Britain is now beginning to understand and can act upop properly soon. Two Factors May Win .
And if the Germans can be made to feel the war acutely enough, and if they can be persuaded that an alternative new order is practical and can really be obtained, these factors in themselves may win the war for Britain. For the whole position in Europe and the world today is like a delicately balanced pair of scales. - So unstable is the equilibrium that a relatively slight change of the weights in either balance may determine the outcome of the war. Adequate increases in British strength at the expense of the Germans would provide such a change and cause such an effect.
A long drawn-out stalemate is improbable in the present war. No people in the world will endure long years of the kind of appalling punishment which modern war involves.
Sustained By Hope
The peoples on both sides are sustained thus far by hope alone. The British hope, and their allies and friends hope, for enough material from America to turn the scales in time. The Germans and their allies and friends hope for a victory before the British get enough material. If the British get what they need in time, their hope will be sustained and they will go on fighting. But by the same token, the Germans’ hopes will be dashed and this in turn may be decisive.

Committee Advises Corps of Commissioners to Hear, Decide Cases.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (U, P.).— Proposals of the Attorney General's Committee on Administrative Pros cedure for separation of investiga tive, prosecutive and judicial funge tions of such New Deal agencies as the National Labor Relations Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission today provided the
basis for an Administration measure replacing the vetoed Walter Logan Bill. Chief reform recommended was creation of an independent corps of
under a new “Office of Federal Administrative Procedure,” and replacing the present system where subordinate agency employees known as “trial examiners” hear cases later to be decided by their superiors. To insure independence of the “hearing commissioners,” they would be appointed for seven-year terms, paid $7500 annually, and be subject
OFAP. This new office would consist of a director, appointed by the President and “confirmed by the Senate; an Associate Justice of the U. 8. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and the Director of the Adminiswrative Office of U.S. Courts. “Under present statutes and decisions, there is adequate provision for court review of agency decisions,” the committee said, after its two-year study of 33 Government units. Function of hearing commissioners would be analagous to that of trial judges, and their decisions would be final unless appealed to the head of the agency,
