IN STAMPS
Politics Forced Joffre
Out of French Command

Out OF French Command
"PAPA" JOFFRE won his
greatest victory at the Marine,
fought his greatest battle against
French politicians. The hero of
the Marine is pictured on the
French stamp above, one of a
series of four honoring World
War leaders.
Joffre was designated COM
mander-in-chief Of the French in
1911. He had been an engineer
on colonial duty, was Junior to
Gallieni and Pau. Joffre strength
ened his artillery, planned his de-
Tense. But plans were swept away
by the crushing German offensive.
AS early as Aug. Is, Joffre an
nounced his intention to attack
the German flank at the Marine,
and full credit for the victory is
his. Gallieni timed the offensive.
But his subordinate officers gave
Joffre more trouble than the Ger
mans. In the first month of wal
Joffre removed two army COM
manders, 10 corps commanders,
and 80 division commanders.
Joffre hoped to push the Somme
offensive, smash the German re-
treat to the Hindenburg line. Poll
tics interviewed and he was "pro-
noted" to marshal, made tech
nical adviser to the government,
removed from active command.
His successor abandoned the
Somme plans.

Leader Hits
AT BLIGHT

The 5000, 900 "undernourished
Americans" cited by Miss Harriet
Elliott, consumer counsel Of the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commits
sion, are evidence Of the failure of
Franklin D. Roosevelt to remove the
blight of poverty from the country
as a whole" Miss Marion E. Martin,
head OF the women's division of the
Republican National Committee
said today.
After quoting Miss Elliott to the
effect that hungry, undernour-
ished people do not make for strong
defense" Miss Martin added:
Unlike Mr.. Roosevelt. it Is evil
dent that Miss Elliott realizes the
United States has unlimited posi-
bilities for future growth" Miss
Elliott has indirectly emphasized
the same point stressed by Wendell
Willkie-"that for the philosophy
of spending we must substitute the
philosophy Of production" she con-
tinued.
Miss Elliott stressed the impor-
lance OF total defense" in a talk
before the Women's National Press
Club yesterday. Donald M. Nelson,
co-ordinator of purchases for the
commission, also spoke. joining Miss
Elliott in explaining what steps are
being taken to prevent price spirals,

England and France made the
mistakes of failing to expand quickly
and broadly enough and of looking
too much into the future" Mr.
Nelson, who is former vice presi-
dent of Sears, Roebuck, remarked.
Rumors of sabotage by industry
to the defense program were denied
by Mr.. Nelson, who said he hasn't
yet seen lone instance" The slow
ness of the program has been very
much matter of determining what
kind of war we may have to fight
and what will be needed to fight it
he said.
Miss Elliott, to questions regarding
unwarranted prices rises, said slight
increases in some price levels are
reported but nothing Of conse-
quence" to alarm the consumer.
Her plan to meet unwarranted
price rises, if and when they occur,
is to first call in producers for con-
sultation, she said. Should that
method fail. her division would re-
sort to publicity, she added.
OF methods used to distribute eco
nomic benefits of the preparedness
program, Mr.. Nelson mentioned that
uniforms, formerly bought exclu-
sively in the East, are now being
purchased from all sections. Many
supplies are being purchased in
small quantities, he added, in order
to help small dealers.
