It is now generally agreed by the best U. s. military observers --and probably also by the Rus- sians-that Hitler will have to win the war by July this year or else face serious consequences.
 These serious consequences will be:
 l. Tremendously increased munitions and ship production by the U. s. A. After July l, American factories will really get into their stride.
 2. The necessity of finding food for Europe next winter. % 3. The necessity of. finding more oil, especially if the Bri- tish esucceed in blowing up Ru- manian oil wells, which they definitely plan to do.
 4. The necessity of pulling a new rabbit out of the hat to please the German people. So far Hitler has pulled out new victories at periodic intervals Austria, CzechoslovakiAn, Poland, Norway, the Low Countries, and France. But the rabbits have come fewer and harder recently. The German people are reported to be restless.
 Only answer to these dilemmas is Russia. The vast and fertile fields of the Ukraine, rich in wheat, iron ore and lying just across from the oil fields of the Caucasus, are sure to beckon to Hitler.
 And if he still is unable to take England by July, it more than likely seems that he will bite off the Ukraine. This probability in- creases if war in the Balkans dis rupts the spring planting. For one reason why Hitler has been so patient with Yugoslavia is because the crops of the Balkans are vital to Germany.
 All of which is not being lost upon Russia.

ship and sacrifice. He was willing to do this even to the extent of op- posing the ideas of his superiors. It was commonly believed that it was General Edwards concern for the men in his division and his insist ence that they should not be sub- jected needlessly to undertakings costly in lives which brought about his retirement as the division com- mander. Edwards superiors at AEF headquarters may have been irrita. ed by his sturdy independence. His men loved him for 1t and they had the highest respect for his soldierly qualities, his skill in tactics and his ability to lead. A statue of him 0n the Capitol grounds would be as sp- propriate @ memorial as could be imagined.

THE EDWARDS STATUE
(Hartford Tines)

There is ample reason for placing a statue of General Clarence R. Ed wards on the State Capitol grounds, even though he was neither na- tive nor resident of this state.
 The Connecticut National Guard organizations were made @ part of the 26th Division when the Amer ican Expeditionary Force was or- ganized. As such they fell under the command of General Edwards, who organized the division, trained 1t both here and in France and commanded it in action during most of it's active service. That was for tunate.
 The division had other command CTS but its veterans will always rec call Edwards as its real "Old Man" No successor could possibly take the place which General Edwards held in the hearts of those who served under him. Not only was he a thorough soldier. but the men were his boys and he fought for their welfare, their comfort and to pro- tect them against unnecessary hard

Bank Street is certainly going to get a thorough going-over judging by all the preliminary plans being made for its re- mobilization. Brooklyn residents probab- ly won't recognize the familiar thorough fare after the city finishes with it this year. Therell be a new pavement, new lights, and probably an entire new layout in one section. All of which indicates steady progress.

GRANITE STATE PROBLEM

Economy in government is about to receive a setback in New Hamp- shire, and 1t seems there is little that can be done about it. Paying for the cost of the largest legisla- tive body in the country. 423 Repre- sentatives. is no insignificant sum and now, because of a large increase in population, more than 40 new members of the House must be ad- ded two years hence. The only al- formative is the calling of a con- stitutional convention before the next biennial election and the sub mission of an amendment changing the basis of apportioning Repre- sentatives. To do that would also involve considerable expense, but the result attained might save money for future generations.

PENNA. A. F. |. TO
PROBE PRIORITIES

The executive council of the Penn
sylvania State Federation OF Labor
has initiated an investigation to de-
termine how much unemployment has
been caused by priorities, James l..
McDevitt, president of the federation,
announced.
The federation has sent question
naires to 2,700 local unions in Pennsyl-
vania affiliated with the A. F. OF l.. to
find out the extent of defense orders
throughout the state and the amount
of unemployment caused by lack OF
materials due to priorities. The ind
ings resulted from the study, together
with recommendations, will be sent to
President William Green of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
Mr.. McDevitt said many rural sec
tions have been seriously affected by
the closing of small plants manufac-
turing consumption goods. "Workers
in such factories" he declared, "can-
not get defense jobs in their own areas
because of inadequate distribution OF
defense contracts among small pro-
ducers."
He pointed out that all kinds OF
metal trade workers engaged in nom
defense production have been hardest
hit by priorities. In many cases their
only choice is to leave non-defense jobs
for defense jobs, which means leaving

Wrecking their schemes in panics,

Plus unemployment, surplus labor
