Stafford Grips
Hints at Offensive
BY UNITED PRESS

The prospect of early United Ma
items offensive in Europe was again
held out Monday, this time by an
important member of the British
government, Sir Stafford Grips
lord privy seal.
Sir Stafford, in a speech at Bris-
tol Sunday night, said, the time
is at hand when we must prepare
ourselves to take the offensive IN
the decisive stages of the war
In his speech at Leeds on Satur-
day, Prime Minister Churchill voic-
ed something of the same thought
when he said that while we have
not yet actually topped the ridge
and started down the road to vic
tory, the ridge is now in sight.
Sir Stafford said he naturally
cannot discuss Allied plans publicly
thus giving information to the
enemy. The where and when OF an
Allied offensive is as much a secret
as ever, but there is conviction
among a large section Of the Brit
ish public that it will be this sum-
-mer, while Russia is engaged in
what may be the decisive struggle
against Hitler.

SET SILVER FREE
TO AID INDUSTRY

(Riverside Press)
Nothing but the pettiest selfishness
can stand in the way of Secretary Nor
genthau's proposal that all newly-mined
silver be made available to industry at
world prices.
Members of the Economists National
Committee on Monetary Policy are urg
ing congress to repeal at once the Silver
Purchase" acts, declaring they have dis
turbed the silver markets of the world,
drained from industry and other coun-
try'S treasures to our vaults, and have
expended the money supply at time
when expansion has been unnecessary
and undesirable.
The treasury has now more than three
billion ounces of the metal in cold StOr
age and is obligated to take all offerings
at the artificial price of I'LL an ounce.
The world price is only 80 cents. The
treasury is not permitted to sell for less
than S129 an ounce.
Because of the artificially high price
for silver industrial plants are reluctant
to borrow silver from the treasury for
fear it will be stolen. Decision to free
10000 tons of silver to replace copper in
electrical bus bars is q wise step toward
ultimately making available enough sill
yer to replace $4,000 tons of copper for
war purposes.
There are many better uses for silver
than merely burying it in the ground at
West Point Silver should be made a
commercial metal and the efforts to foist
it on an unwilling public as monetary
meal should be abandoned SO say heads
of economic departments of virtually
every leading university in the country.

POSTWAR AUTOS

[
The prospect of improvements IN auto
mobile building is always an intriguing
subject to Americans, even though for
the present the possibility OF obtaining
new tires is rather remote, the Nevada
State Journal writes.
A hopeful word on postwar automo-
biles came recently from Wright W. Gary,
director of refining for the petroleum
co-ordinator's office, who said the auto
industry now is working on plans for
motor car which will use 100-octane avla-
ton gasoline That is the answer, he
said, to what will be done after the war
with the S500,000,000 facilities for devel-
oping the superior gasoline.
The postwar car will require less fuel
per ton-mile and will have a smaller gas
oline tank and engine but greater efflcl-
ency, Gary asserted.
Motorists may use their own magma
lions on what this will mean. One thing
is certain. A smaller engine and smaller
gasoline tank will mean a lighter car,
and lighter car will mean less wear on
tires as we'll as less fuel Perhaps motor
lists will yet feel we'll repaid for the in
convaniences which they are undergoing
now

WE PLEAD NOT GUILTY

President Roosevelt last Friday blamed
the American press, in large part, for
confusion surrounding gasoline ratloning.
The President, to bolster his point, re-
marked that the first report emanatlng
from Washington that gasoline might be
restricted to from 2 2 to 5 gallons per
week was "a press report based on
conjectures by newspaper correspond
entS
Consider that statement. 1t has been
proved, of course, that the first report
was true Gasoline was restricted to
three gallons per week. The President
misstated the case when he said the re-
port was conjecture" by newspaper cor
respondents. 1t was, actually, an indir-
ect quotation from higher official in
the Office of Price Administration who
refused TO allow his name to be used.
The President went on to remark that
Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes was
not in conflict with statements of any
other government agency. 1ckes had said,
it may be recalled, that the l z to gal
lon estimate was ridiculously low, and
a bit silly.
There we think the president is but
ting his head against facts. Even if we
were to concede, for the sake of argu-
ment. that there was no original con-
flict between Ickes and any other federal
agency. Ickes' statement was certainly
misleading and in direct conflict with
the three-gallon order which was actual
ly issued later on. Who created the con-
fusion there?
The President studiously avoided refer
ence to the thing which the press has crit
icized most-the lack of any official
statement on the exact reasons for gaso-
line rationing. 1t almost seemed that
he was attempting to make the people

THIS IS NO CONTRIBUTION
TO NATIONAL UNITY

When President Roosevelt committed
the federal prison term of Communist
Earl Browder to time served in the belief
that the Communication will have a ten
dency to promote national unity" he
went long way toward creating great
deal of future national disunity.
The President argued that PROVIDERS
term was Enthusiastically severe. The Pres
ident said that Browder was convicted
simply Of making one false statement
when he applied for a passport in his
own name That, of course. is true.
Browder was convicted of saying that he
had not obtained any other passports
when actually he had done SC. The Joker
was that he had used fictitious names
when he obtained those other passports,
so that he could travel on business con-
nected with plans to undermine the Amer
lean form of government.
BrOwder, however, was not convicted
Of plotting against the government.
But then, neither was Al Capone con-
victed of being a mass killer and gang
leader He was convicted of evading his
income tax responsibilities. If the Pres
ident's reasoning in the Browder case
were applied democratically, Capone
would have received a communication be-
cause his sentence was too severe
Undoubtedly the President was sub
iect2d to a great deal of pressure before
he committed the BrOwder sentence. A
lot Of it, we suspect, came from some OF
his own advisors, whose leanings toward
PROVIDERS doctrines are we'll known.
Some of it, we also suspect came directly
from Moscow, and was applied through
the leverage of the present wartime al
lance between that capital and our own.
In any event, Browder's release is a
smashing victory for American and Rus
sian communists, and undoubtedly will
encourage them in attempting the thing
they can be expected to do after the war
is over-renewing attempts to create an
American revolution along class lines.
Where is the unity in that?

LONDON. May 18-CUP) - The
Royal Air Force resumed it's day
light sweeps over northern France
today, continuing an attack which
started during the night when heavy
explosions from the occupied French
coast shook the ground on the Eng
lish side of the channel.
Strong formations crossed the
southeast coast cliffs this morning,
sweeping toward the opposite coast
from Bculogne to Calais. Heavy
explosions, which seemed to come
from the inland area beyond Calais,
were heard.
During the night, the Royal Air
Force apparently attacked objec-
tives from Boulogne to Dunkirk.
Two hours after midnight, heavy
and continuous explosions shook the
ground along the Kent coast. Short
ly after midnight, radio Berlin left
the air for the first time in more
than a week. This usually is an in
dication that hostile planes are
approaching.
Radio Berlin said later that the
Raj had carried cut nuisance
raids" at various points along the
channel, with two planes down.
Hundreds of British and German
planes crashed in fierce combatS
over northern France when the
Raj carried out four of the most
