‘Bring On Hitler’

By Ludwell Denny

Serbs Beat the Germans in the World War and Most of Them Are Sure They Can Do It Again!

(This article by Mr. Denny, Jugoslavia, was written before the Nazi invasion of Jugoslavia

and Greece)

ASHINGTON, April 7.—Of all the soldiers in continental Europe, the only ones who are sure they can lick Hitler's undefeated army, and want to try, are little Jugoslavia's hillbillies. That sounds crazy. Maybe so—and maybe not. Tt is something more than the boast of ragged feudists, with more patriotism than power. It is not only the memory of 1000 years of heroic defense of their mountains against the world's mightiest empires, which rose and fell while they lived on from one fighting generation to another. There are also the hard facts of the First World War: These mountaineers were the best soldiers in that war—even the Germans admit it. After they defeated the Austrian army, they were on the way to defeating coms bined German-Austrian-Bulgarian forces until Britisi=French blundering interference, and failure to supply munitions, forced their temporary defeat. The escape of their wounded remnant, across the frozen Albanian mountains, was the miracle of the war and one of the most astounding feats in military history. Their reorganization on the Salonika front; their repeated lonely piercing of the enemy lines, despite the timid Allied commanders who tried to hold them back: and their final break-through and recaptuie of their homeland—this was the first major defeat of the Central Pcwers, and speedily led to complete Allied victory. ” » o F course this Serbian comeback would not have been possible without Britisn-French aid. disastrously belated though it was. But none questions the unique fighting ability of the Serb soldier and the superb strategy of his generals, Putnik and Mitchich, in the last war. In August, 1941, the Serbs had 500.000 men, mostly experienced in the Balkan wars, plus 50,000 Montenegrins (compared with a total of 1,200,000 today); but they were short of munitions. In a two-week battle the enemy attacked on the narthern (Sava-Danube) and western (Drina) fronts, but was driven back on the latter with a loss of 50,000.

A munitions shortage stopped Serb offensives in | the north and west, and in December forced evacua- |

Soon enough munitions arrived to support a brilliant counter-attack and recapture of Belgrade, but not enough to rout completely. So the 1914 campaign ended with Serb vietory—at a cost of 100,000 men, only 15000 of whom were taken prisoner. In 1915 the seven corps of Germans,

Small as Well as the 'Big Fellows’

EW YORK. April 7—"The report of the Temd porary National Economic Committee about monopolies 1s just another old-fashioned trustbusting proclamation.” This generally was the gist of a great deal of the comment on the recommendations of Senator O'Mahoney’'s now famous investigation into our economic affairs. Trust busting is, of course, an old sport. But the clamor against anti-trust movements is equally old-fashioned and equally uninformed. The old-fashioned outcy against monopolies was based upon a set of reasons wholly different from those which animate the modern critics of monopoly. Once upon a time anti-trust attacks were based upon moral and ethical considerations. Men reacted hostilely to what looked like greed. It was “wrong,” “unjust” to the “little. fellow,” to permit one man to grab too much or all of anv line of The whole attitude of the critics

is fair; at least for striking a compromise, such as that |

under which the soft-coal mines are to be reopened. It would be preposterous to suggest that there are not enough

brains and patriotism on both sides in the United States |

Steel labor dispute to produce an agreement with equal or |

greater speed—and without interrupting production. Or can it be that while men die for freedom in the Balkans, other men in America will turn their backs to each other, and shrug their shoulders, and let the furnaces cool, the smoke wreaths wither, and the defense of democracy languish for want of the stuff of war?

UNLISTED DEFENSE COST E like to think that thus far the United States is building its defenses without extra costs in blood. And yet —The National Safety Council, in listing the second worst February in history in regard to traffic toll, believes that at least half of the increase is due to defense activities. In the first place, there are in general more vehicles on the road, and more miles are being driven. carrying hundreds of military vehicles that were not there before, Counties which have new defense industries almost uniformly show great increases in traffic accidents, A certain amount of this is probably unavoidable. But now is the time to make every effort to cut these losses to a minimum. Hours lost to the defense drive in a hospital bed are just as completely lost as those lost on a picket line.

Then the roads are also |

‘So They Say—

But a far different attitude moves those who criticise the monopoly movement now. And it is this attitude which finds its way into Senator O'Mahoney 's TNEC report. The early anti-trust movement that excited so much warfare upon the so-called “captains” of industry was directed largely against bigness and “big malefactors.” But in those days, as now, there were lots of little fellows who tried to hog an industry for themselves. Thus in the oil industry Rockefeller tried te create a monopoly of refining, But also a batch tion for the men in the oil regions. of Kerosene. These little fellows the preduction and price of erude oil. * ® » HERE was a wild clamor against Rockefeller as an enemy of

lists. Both—the big refining monopolists and the little crude oil monopolists—were organized against the public. Today's monopolies and trade restraints that cause concern to certain economists are not so much the monopolies of the big fellows as the monopolies of the little fellows. Tnat is why the TNEC report referred to the Bituminous Coal Commission, For this is a plan under which, with Government aid, all producers of soft coal are organized into a system to control the production of coal and its price in the interest of the producers and against the publie. This is the new form of monopoly—the schemes of the so-called planners to bring producers together, to enable them to govern their industries, to fix production, to fix prices, to control competition, The objection to this is not ethical. It is economie. This kind of thing is indefensible, not because it is wicked but because it will destroy the present eco nomic system.

Taking Note of a Growing Tide Of Resentment Against Strikes, Especially in Homes of Draftees

L= ANGELES. April 7.-~Another unavoidable cone clusion from this writer's present =wing around the national circle is the rising popular resentment against strikes and violence in the defense industries. This is deep, bitter and dangerous to the whole labor movement. It is felt in the ranks of labor, too. Take this case as one among many—a man of 30 gives up a good job to be taken az a cone script at less than a dollar a dav, Tens of thousands of men have been “deferred” as “essential workers in industries essential to national defense.” He no sooner gets to camp than he learns that the “essential man” is on strike against the “essential industry” for an increase in wages that are already several times the soldier's pay—or for a more trivial cause. This is no imagi= nary case. It is one of the principal complaints at Washington selective-service headquarters and vou hear it wherever you go in the country. This isn't just ordinary soldier grousing. The draft reaches into hundreds of thousands of homes. ins directly affects many others and, before it is over, may affect them all.

T the bottom of this disgraceful situation iz ne lack of loyalty among the rank and file of workers.

This is a stench | and a disgrace and this Administration cannot escapa blame for part of it. It can't escape because it has been far from impartial in dealnig with this problem in the past and not nearly tough enough in dealing ' with it now.
