WpB StoekpiIe Chief
Hits Political Evasion
OF Hard Decisions
Tells Federal Bor g.. $50.
u. S. Needs Tough
Leadership in War

Assailing superficial optimism
that is the most dangerous thing
in our whole war effort" William
Y. Elliott Of the War Production
Board yesterday warned America
that the Nation faces a test of its
viii power and spirit such as we've
never faced before
Addressing the Federal Bar As
sociation's luncheon meeting at the
Harrington Hotel. the WPB stock
pile and shipping chief said Amer
lean warriors have given evidence
they have the fighting heart and
that In the long run 1t will be men
rather than materials that viii win
the war.
I'VE need tough leadership that
will carry out hard decisions with
ruthless determination. . the speaker
said. We are in for it; we face
long hard struggle. 1t Is mere wish
ful thinking that Germany will
fold up or that Japan will be de-
feated easily. On our home front
sacrifices must be made, Every as
pect of our lives must be directed
to the sole purpose of winning the
war"
Gauges Rubber Campaign.
DR.. Elliott said the rubber scrap
collection campaign offers Amer
icas only immediate rubber re-
placement. Synthetic rubber prob
ably will be produced in time to
help the war effort, but civilians
must give up any hope they will
get the synthetic product during
the war, he asserted. t>
When a hard decision is evaded
for political or other reasons" DR..
Elliott said, I'VE are doing a dan
gerous thing. and giving comfort
to the enemy. Our democratic sys-
tenn is on trial. If we want to
keep our legacy we've got to get
tough, and the people are going
to demand that our leaders be
tough" .
Sees pace Setting"
The Bar Association members,
through their contacts, can set the
pace for public cooperation as
more war sacrifices are demanded,
DR.. Elliott said.
He said that while there are some
tight spots In the critical materials
picture, the winning of the war de-
pends on the spirit of its fighting
men and the will power of the
Nations leaders.

War Prompts Women
To Serve on Juries

Impelled by the war effort, few
women these days are claiming their
right to exemption from jury serv-
Ice at District Court, officials said
today.
Under the law women have the
option of declining to serve on the
jury and in the past many have
exercised this right. But In the
last several weeks officials have
noticed that women are increas-
ingly taking on jury duty, feeling
that it is part of their civic duty
authorities declared, when 50
many men are engaged in the war
effort.
Last months jury was particu-
larly noticeable for the preponder-
ance of women and this month is
close second, Justice T. Alan
Goldsborough having sworn in the
new jurors yesterday.

The Offensive

When HannlbalS armies were at the
very gates of Rome, the Romans sent an
eXpeditionary force against his homeland
of Carthage. And Rome won the war
When the infidel Turk threatened all
Christendom, the West did not wait for
him to come and conquer The crusaders
advanced to the Golden Horn, defeated
the Turk and threw him out of Europe.
At the first battle of the Marine, FOch dis
patched to the indeciSive Joffre this mes
sage: my right is exposed, my left is
heavily attacked, my center is unable to
hold it's position. cannot redistribute my
forces. The situation is excellent. I shall
attack"
One of Americas active soldierS-no
gents room general or saloon StrategiSt
now declares the only way to win the
present war is for America to attack the
heart of the enemy, specifically to strike
against Germany through Italy. His
name is Lieut.-Col. W. F. Herman and his
new book, Defense Will Not Win the
War;" carries much the same message as
the implications of President ROOSeVeltS
recent fireside chat
The message is that America and her
allies cannot hope to win by attempting
purely defensive actions before widely
scattered points once so fondly called
"fortresses." That as long as Hitler and
his bloody crowd can count on escaping
direct attack themselves, they can always
choose their battlefield and smash the
strongest defense by assembling mobile,
overwhelming force at one point. History
is on Colonel Kernan'S side-recent his
tory in Europe and the Far East, and an
cient history wherever wars have been
fought. Defense does not win wars, and
that goes for the type Of defense that en-
ploys a strong navy with no army capable
of winning decisive victory on land.
Britain, while still possessing her mighty
fleet, felt the hot breath of defeat and still
feels it. Britain first built her navy to
transport armies to win wars on the other
Fellows home field When Britain came
to rely on that navy as a force for defend
ing places like Singapore all around the
world, then Britain stood in peril of her
very life. 1t would be difficult to soften
Colonel Kernan's Indictment of the Of
fensive method of warfare.
His own special brand of offensive IS
something else again. He thinks we can
get into Italy with 100000 men, send in
another 100000 every month and whip
Hitler in the air and on the ground-in
Germany. Few men are qualified to pass
Judgment on such a spectacular plan of
attack Few should attempt it. At any
rate, Colonel Kernan's ideas should reach
the public, for they are stimulating in the
manner of the Presidents fine speech.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-03
Reading the Future

Crystal ball gazing for the purpose of
finding out what the future holds in store
for our political leaders is an old and ia
miliar pastime. 1t has always been en-
gagged in and probably always will be.
Therefore, it may not be anything other
than the spirit of the times which brought
forth editorially from the Hartford Times
an article dealing with what might be
going to happen within Democratic ranks
during the conventions of 1912 and 1914.
A claimed rising tide in state Republi-
canism apparently will not figure in the
calculations.
Whether or not conditions are or may
be as The Times would seem to be por-
traying them is not definitely established
in our mind We'd be inclined to regard
as more or less gauzy stuff any such
rumors as are given partial or doubtful
credence by The Times. That Democrats
are planning so far ahead as 1914 is eX-
tremely unlikely Even the most formid-
able political organization these days is
scarcely heard above the roar of the de-
tense effort. The same is true here in Con-
necticut.
IF in the midst of our present stress and
strain it's possible to contrive political
set-up for next fall other than what would
be the most natural one for either Dem
ocrats or Republicans to present, then all
we can say is that they're great many
people who should be lending their per-
sonal efforts to their local Defense Coun-
ell. There just isn't time today to fool
with the political machinery when the
governmental machinery must be kept
operating efficiently "a hours day, seven
days week.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-03

The suggestion that shoppers, pre-
sumably the women of the family, do
their shopping at such times as would
not mean they'd have to be taking buses
that are used by defense workers isn't as
feasible as it sounds. There are SO many
shifts being adopted by the various fac
tories, even in our own community that
the average housewife, whose shift is
usually twelve to fourteen good hours
day, is hard put to sandwich in a brief
trip down town for some essential home
buying. There may be some people who
could govern their use of the buses to
prevent jamming them during rush hours
However, we think that in communities
like Waterbury where facilities have been
strained to the utmost we'll have to be
very patient and forgiving; Transporta-
ton is going to be a problem for some
time to come and it will take lot of plan
ming to bring about the ideal conditions
we all demand.
