portant shortages In Germany -
iron and oil.
Thus far, the war has cost Ger
many about two-thirds of her iron
ore imports, representing almost
one-quarter OF her consumption.
Some 1900, 900 tons Of iron ore.
formerly imported annually from
France. North Africa. Brazil and
Newfoundland. have been cut off.
Sweden Sends Ore
The bulk of the remainder of
German ore imports has been COM
ing from Sweden. II Germany can
continue to provide Sweden with
coal. there is no reason to believe
Sweden will not continue to export
to Germany the usual 5000, 900
tons Of iron ore annually or pos
sibly more.
Germany is trying harder than
ever to utilize her own sources of
low grade iron ore. In two or
three years she should be able to
add about 100000 tons to her
annual output. She would still.
however, be short about 5000. 900
tons.
Still Need Oil
German military experts have
estimated that 10000, 900 tons Of
oil--some estimates are higher
win be needed to supply the reich
In war time. Today. Germany can
provide less than 80 per cent of
that amount from her own re-
sources.
Rumania and Russia are the
likeliest sources for the balance of
Cermany's oil needs. Rumania an
nually disposes of a 5000, 000-ton
surplus. 1t Is questionable. how
ever. whether Germany will be able
to transport this amount. Neutral
experts have estimated that only
about half Of 1t could be brought
into the reich by way Of the
Danube river.
Copper supply Shaky
The war further weakened Ger
many's already shaly position In
regard to copper. The reich pro-
duces only about one-eighth Of her
normal needs. The war has now
cut off the bulk of her imports,
which came principally from
Africa, Chile and the United
States. The two chief sources re-
naming are Finland and Sweden,
which together presently meet only
about one-tenth Of Germany's
needs.
The allied blockade has cut off
the reich's rubber supply. and she
can supply only about one-third Of
her needs with artificial rubber.
Italy has become key factor
In Germany's attempt to solve her
economic difficulties. Italy forms
q bottle neck. through which over
seas neutrals might pour greatly
needed materials into the reich,
for example soy beans from Man
churia and oil from Russia.

of constitutional law, Mr.. Frank
furter's mind runs in the same
channels as those OF the late Justice
Holmes, Justice Brandeis and the late
Justice Cardozo, whom he succeeds.
He is a liberal who believes in the
feasibility Of democracy. He believes
our Constitution was drafted with q
view to the understandable needs Of
the future and that it can and should
be construed to meet changing con-
ditions. That is a doctrine which
should be applied with intelligence
and restraint, but unless it is essen
TALLY sound-unless our fundamental
law Is flexible enough to meet con-
ditions as they are-the task Of
making democracy work in this coun-
try will become increasingly difficult.
That Mr.. Frankfurter espouses
such a philosophy is evidence of his
liberality Of mind. Those who fear
that it implies something of sinister
nature would do well to remember
that the nomination of Justice
Brandeis was vigorously opposed by
a distinguished group of men who
contended he was dangerous
radical" Yet the passing years have
brought to Justice Brandeis the
reputation of being one of the ablest
and "soundest" judges ever to sit on
the Nations highest bench.

A Correction

At her press conference yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Roosevelt, responding
to questions, discussed the incident
of the unlimited guests at a family
gathering in the White House on
New Year eve and, putting two and
two together, she arrived at the sum
of five. Her misconception of The
Stars press time, plus the impor-
tunities of other reporters seeking
verif1cation of The Stars story, sug-
gested to her that The Star knew of
the prank in advance. That is not
correct.
Had The Star known about it in
advance, the youngsters would have
been persuaded not to go through
with their impulsive escapade. It
might never have occurred to The
Star to warn children against the
dangers of getting shot or suffering
physical injuries at the White House.
But they would have been reminded
that even high school autograph
seekers should respect the privacy of
the Presidents home and the Presi-
dents family. They are nice children
and would have responded to the
suggestion.

huge private industry with numerous
branches allowed each to follow its
own devices-a procedure that would
be an excellent start toward bank
ruptcy.
An effort to improve the then ex-
isting accounting system was respon-
sible for the passage Of the Budget
and Accounting Act and creation Of
the Office Of Controller General as an
agent of Congress, in 1921, but the
Elliott report shows that even after
seventeen years, there still Is much
to be done. Not that this evidence
was required, for over that time there
are on record numerous cases where
illegalities were disclosed far too late
for correction because Of shortcom-
ings in the law.
Congress has remedy at hand If
one is desired, and in a day when the
Government is advancing into so
many new fields, and budget calcula-
tions are in terms of billions, there
is every reason why the experience of
the past two decades should be used
as guide, and action taken accord
ing to its dictates.
