in the pogrom has become kncwn little by
little, and is one which scarcely does honor
to a political leader whose interests are in
the moral development of his nation. Orders
having been given to the S.S. detachments in
charge of the various concentration camps
to make arrangements for a new batch of
prisoners, the S.S. and S.A. dutifully carried
out their task of smashing up the Jewish
shops and synagogues throughout the Reich
while the Gestapo began its work of round-
ing up the Jewish proprietors, clerks and
rabbis. When the bright sun of the follow-
ing morning threw the destruction of the
night into garish relief, the citizens of every
town were stunned and speechless at the
wantonness and depravity of the spectacle.
But not Himmler and his Aryan Nordic ac-

complices. Following an inspection tour of
the principal shopping districts of Berlin, he
is alleged to have announced that the job
was not sufficiently thorough and to have
given orders for the hooligans under his
command to continue the orgy. This accounts
for the fact that following the window-
smashing and plundering of the eaily hours
of Nov. 11 (1938), there was a lull through-
out the forenoon hours, after which the mobs
descended upon the shops again during the

afternoo n and evening and destroyed the
interior decorations, smashed counters, and
burned the stock in street bonfires.

BUICK'S Best Bet

Better Than Bow the Head

GET TOUCH WITH

An old sentiment sums up quite well the strug-
gle that is current in the world today. It is:

Jack Al kon

Better to dwell in Freedom's hall
with a cold damn floor and a m ouldering wall
Than bow the head and bend the knee
In the proudest palace of slaverie.

—MOORE.
The reason for postponement of the achieve-
ment of this freedom is that the Germans who
are under the Nazi heel have learned to under-
stand it. But they will. It will take time,—and
it will take American and British ammunition to
hammer it in. Unfortunately, it will also take
considerable starvation, since food is one of the
weapons in this war. But when the oppressed
peoples begin to understand the elementary truths
inherent in freedom, it is not too much to ex-
peat that they will not only rebel, but that they
will also make the enjoyment of freedom last
to the exclusion of tyranny.
