VV IT H SF R K VV I T h S F r K / c- F IV\)= /v l>l2S~H3- A FRONT-PAGE EDITORIAL TO THE BOYS IN THE SERVICE By CARL L. WEICHT • Our country is at war, and war changes things. Yet this old town of ours, on the surface at least, is much the same quiet, pleasant place it used to be. Could you look in on us from a vantage point in the sky, you might say we haven't changed much. We go about our reg­ ular jobs the same as usual, we meet the old friends here and there, we see many of the familiar faces in the familiar places up and down Main street, we have our busy round of community activities. But our common effort as a nation has imposed here, as everywhere in America, new duties, a new spirit, a new prayer. Yes, our community is different than it used to be before you went away. Underneath there has been a change, for the fondest thoughts of the fathers and mothers, the wives and sweet­ hearts, and the friends of you men and boys in the armed services of our country are not here. They are with you. See those two motherly figures and that young high school girl chatting there on the corner? Do you think they're talking about the things women usually talk about, or even sugar rationing, the First Aid class that meets tomor­ row night, or that extra allotment of sewing the Red Cross must finish by next Saturday? They are not, altho, to be sure, these latter subjects have long since crowded the weather and similar items of conversation to the wall. What Mrs. Jones is now saying is that her big boy, Jim, has just been selected to go to an officers' training camp, he's that smart, while Mrs. Smith is telling what her husband, Ser­ geant Smith, wrote from his outfit's base in Ire­ land. Meanwhile, Jane Brown just can't be polite much longer and is about to break in to announce that Brother Bob is coming home next Tuesday for a week's furlough before leaving his training post for the East coast. When dad stops in at the drugstore to get that anti-mosquito dope to prolong his daylight evening hours in his Victory garden on the nights he isn't down at the Air Raid Wardens' class,, what do you think he talks to the store­ keeper about? Fishing and golf, which used to take up so much of his attention? Or wartime prices and restrictions, the sinking of those Jap battleships, or Winston Churchill's visit to our President? No sir! If the storekeeper gives him half a chance, dad is going to start right in tell- 1 T Li- 1 -'_ -1 -J____ 2__ TT 1 Oi / Now this isn't just dad and mother who are talking about you. The fact is you fellows off there in the training camps,Jn Australia, in Ice­ land—wherever you are—you are the ones we are thinking about, dreaming about, praying about. You're the cen&r of interest of all of us back home. It's you we know and love who are facing unknown dangers in the far places of the vtorld, or training for them, who have made the war retfl to us. We're proud of you,—proud and hopeful, too. We're proud that a new generation of strong, young Americans has come into its own, ready and able to do a hard job which needs to be done, willing to make great sacri­ fices that the hard-won dignity and decency of human beings may not be cruelly swept away. We are hopeful not only that you may come back to us soon, in a happier day of victory and peace, but that you will come back with the same high spirit and zestful strength ^ih which you left us. And because they are proud of you, be­ cause they are hopeful for you, and because they, too, are Americans of spirit, the home folks are determined that as our country seeks suc­ cessfully to meet the challenge that has been laid down to the things we cherish most, they will do their part in a manner worthy of you who stand bravely in the vanguard. r/ klx^'/Hx- WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAIL'D What so proudly we hail'd at Lexington and Concord . at Boston Harbor ... at Gettysburg . and San Juan Hill ... is still worth fighting for. "Civil liberty" and "government for the people" aren't just phrases in a history book. We Americans have made these principles work for over a century and a half . and we intend to keep them working! These are the ideals we hail'd in Philadelphia in 1776 . the rights we hold worth saving, and worth dying to save. To this end, like the patriots of '76, "we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" WE SALUTE YOU CAPTAIN ARNE WINGER, Port Washington, Md. PVT.

Now don't think for a minute that we at The News have been responsible for this issue of The News. It has been the Northfield merchants and your friends who have been so grand in co-operating with us. They too, wanted to dedi­ cate this issue to all of OUR BOYS IN SERVICE. I must tell you, too, of the spe­ cial service the post office em­ ployees have given the mothers, sweethearts, wives and friends in Northfield. Last week seven let­ ters came all at one time from Kirk who is in Australia, and be­ fore they had hardly reached the News box at the post office, Ray Kelly phoned to tell of the arrival of these letters. Since then I have heard of many mothers and fathers who have had their letters deliv­ ered on Sunday by their mailman. A swell service, I'd say. But, you see, it is* for you and your families at home. As I sit here at my desk, just before going home, a panorama of faces goes before my eyes. I see many of you in the Islands. I see yt 2JT }*)%.

    Praise for Turning Judaism Outward “Wonderfully written as well as intensely thought provoking, Turning Judaism Outward is the most in-depth treatment of the life of the Rebbe ever written. !e author has managed to successfully reconstruct the history of one of the most important Jewish religious leaders of the 20th century, whose life has up to now been shrouded in mystery. A compassionate, engaging biography, this magni"cent work will open up many new avenues of research.” —Dana Evan Kaplan, author, Contemporary American Judaism: Transformation and Renewal; editor, !e Cambridge Companion to American Judaism “In contrast to other recent biographies of the Rebbe, Chaim Miller has availed himself of all the relevant textual sources and archival docu- ments to recount the details of one of the more fascinating religious leaders of the twentieth century. !rough the voice of the author, even the most seemingly trivial aspect of the Rebbe’s life is teeming with interest.... I am con"dent that readers of Miller’s book will derive great pleasure and receive much knowledge from this splendid and compel- ling portrait of the Rebbe.” —Elliot R. Wolfson, Abraham Lieberman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, New York University “Only truly great biographers have been able to accomplish what Chaim Miller has with this book... I am awed by his work, and am now even more awed than ever before by the Rebbe’s personality and prodi- gious accomplishments.” —Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President Emeritus, Orthodox Union; Editor-in-Chief, Koren-Steinsaltz Talmud “A fascinating account of the life and legacy of a spiritual master.

The United States and the Fascist Threat in Latin America During World War II Larry Brent Ward Master of Arts in History University of Richmond May, 1997 Dr. Ernest C. Bolt, Jr., Advisor .Abstract This thesis is the author's attempt to locate the origins of policies employed by the United States during World War II to control, through confinement, deportation and repatriation, German and German Jewish nationals living in Latin America. It also recounts the difficulties that several German nationals faced at the hands of a somewhat intransigent but entirely apathetic United States government. Through an examination of select State Department records, memoirs of government officials and letters of Axis nationals interned by the United States during World War II, one can better understand the reasons behind this little known aspect of American foreign policy. I certify that I have read this thesis and find that, in scope and quality, it satisfies the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.

    THE GOEBBELS DIARIES THE GOEBBELS DIARIES Translated and Edited by LOUIS P. LOCHNER HAMISH HAMILTON LONDON Fust Published in Great !Jritain 1948 IU.Dlt AND PRINTRD tN GRL\"r BRITAIN BY PURNllLL AND SONS, 1.'1 D-1 PAULTOM (soiOillSIIT) AND LONDON PUBLISHER'S NOTE WHEN THE Russians occupied Berlin in 1945 they went through the . German official archives with more vigour than discrimination, lihipped some material to Russia, destroyed some, and left the rest scattered underfoot. They often followed a system that is difficult to understand of emptying papers on the floor and shipping to Russia the filing cabinets that had contained them. Considerable fragments of Dr. Goebbels' diaries, from which the following pages were selected, were found in the courtyard of his ministry, where they had evidently narrowly escaped burning, many of the pages being singed and all smelling of smoke. Apparently they were originally bound in the German type of office folder. Thin metal strips in the salmon-coloured binders wete run through holes punched in the paper, bent over, and locked into place. At that time all Berlin was one great junk yard wi~h desperate people laying hands on anything tangible and movable that could be used for barter. The unburned papers were taken away by one of these amateur junk dealers, who carefully salvaged the binders and discarded the contents-leaving more than 7,000 sheets of loose paper. A few binders had not been removed but most of the pages were tied up in bundles as waste paper. It later proved a considerable task to put them together again in the right sequence, as they were not numbered.
