The Great Game of Politics
Hope Of Bosterins War Management Declared
Gone With Appointment Of McNutt and Wickord

before he came to Washington to
take a New Deal position.
Others Better Equipped.
Yet, these men WELD more power
over more people in America than
any public onicials in our history.
Uncounted millions flow through
their hands and scores of thousands
Of employees swell their organiza-
tions. Few will contend seriously
that any one of these men is the
best available in the United States
for his job. The names Of better
equipped men will readily occur.
There is Herbert Hoover. There are
Bernard Baruch, James A. Farley,
Alfred Sloan and John E. Hanes.
Why are not these-and others like
them-in key positions where their
ability and experience could be fully
utilized?
Two reasons are given-first, be-
cause they are not New Dealers;
second, because for most Of them
the President has a personal dislike.
If there are any other reasons men
such as these should be barred from
posts to which they are so obviously
fitted they have not been advanced.
In reply to these criticisms, ad-
ministration spokesman point to
Donald Nelson Of the WPB and the
various Republican and anti-New
Deal businessmen in his organiza-
ton: to Admiral Land and Lewis
Douglas Of the Maritime Commits
sion: to the Republican Secretaries
Of War and Navy; to Nelson Rookie
Teller and his Latin American Gull
tural Relations setup, and to others.
None of which affects the point
that, outside the military and naval
machines, the key positions, which
WELD the power, spend the money
and most affect the national econ
omy, are exclusively occupied by
New Dealers.
If they were the best men in sight
no one would object to that. It is
because they so clearly are not the
best men that the charge has been
that in the midst Of the war this
administration is never unmindful of
New Deal politics. determined not to
relinquish any New Deal social
gain"
Soon or late, the mess into which
some of these enthusiastically
the Price ADMINISTRATIVE got
ten will compel changes. In the
meantime, we pay the penalties of
delays and confusion. 1t isn't an
answer to all this to point to our
production Of planes and armament
or to say that the war is going we'll.
The unacceptable and unanswerable
fact is that the war is prolonged,
victory postponed, the cost increased
and the burdens Of the people en-
HANGED by incompetency in the war
management.

the first tangible attempt to see
that Admiral Jean Darlan Is not
kept in his present position
longer than military operations
require.
Those responsible for approv-
ing Gen. Eisenhower's acceptance
of the French admiral into our
fold, thus saving thousands Of
lives and weeks of useless fight-
ing, are seriously concerned
about the move, which is believed
to have originated In British
parliamentary quarters. They
say there can be no room for di-
plomacy in North Africa, either
now or later. The situation there
is, and will remain. purely mill
tary.
The State Department has on
the scene Robert Murphy, who
has spent the last 10 months In
close contact with French offi-
Gals In that area and who is
giving Gen. Eisenhower all the
advice he needs. There also are
consuls IN various key places Of
the French North African EN-
pire who act as advisers and
counselers to commanding Amer
lean officers. The situation at
present requires only good mill
tary men.
Control Of local affairs Is en-
tirely in the hands of the French
authorities. These men know
how to handle the situation and
the setting up Of a so-called d.
plomatic advisory council would
only bring about confusion in
a situation already unnecessarily
confused.
No Cause for Optimism.
Because we occupied Algeria
and Morocco in record time and
without serious losses, there is a
widespread belief that the worst
is over and We do not have to
bother much about the future.
Unfortunately, this is not the
case. There Is plenty of trouble
ahead in Africa, from both the
political and the military angle.
There is definite plan to re-
arm the forces which Gen. Henri
Honore Giraud can throw in to

would seem an excellent wartime
measure to limit the number Of
drinks that can be served with or
without food to any customer In
the course Of his stay in q res
taurant. This would also help
prevent the ghost Of prohibition
from spooking around again, If
the regulation were reasonable.
Labor Is Leading Problem.
As far as production Is con-
cerned, the chief problem is that
Of labor, and 1t has not even be-
gun to be met. Rationalizing of
manpower distribution will Ger
tainly help, but it will not be
anything like enough. We must
find new sources of labor.
There are profound social i'm
plications at stake, as well as
war considerations. Since 50 per
cent of the farms produce SO per
cent of food, from the standpoint
OF production alone the big farms
must be favored over the small
ones, which produce for and are
worked by the family, and con-
stitute one of the backbones Of
democratic America. These small
farms-and there are some three
million Of them-are going to 20

Urges Woman's Land Army.
We have WAVES and WAACS
but as yet no Womans Land
Army. Why not? Thousands Of
healthy women are still unem-
ployed, at any regular work.
Facilities for training them exist
Throughout the Nation. The
Woman's Land Army Of Britain
has become known to all of us as
a godsend to British agriculture.
What are we waiting for? The
time Of sowing and planting is
not far distant.
There seems to be a universal
disposition on the part OF Con-
gress and the administration to
delay all necessary steps while
waiting on public opinion"
There need be no delays on that
score in dealing with farm and
food problems. People want to
eat and they want to save the
farms. Why not get at It?

the habit requires more walters

This should be eliminated. The

Furthermore, restaurants should
be forbidden, during the war, to
serve more than three courses at
any meal, lunch or dinner. Por-
tons served should be scaled to
normal, figured by ounces, and
the price adjusted accordingly,
especially portions of meat. To-
day, in one of the better class
restaurants or hotels, if one or

enough to support family for a

It is unfortunate that the Presi-

hold them. There isn't first-class

Appointment of Claude B.
Wickard as Food Administrator
will not in itself have any
magical effect. 1t only forces
him and US to deal with unsolved
problems.
A year has passed since the
war began and there still is in
adequate naturalization Of our
production and use Of food. The
problem involves increasing pro-
duction and eliminating waste.
The easier problem to be solved
is the avoidance Of waste. Yet,
apart from the rationing of a
few things like sugar and coffee,
and soon meat, the problem has
not been approached In realistic
manner yet. In fact it appears
that complicated measures are
taken, while things, soluble by
simple regulations, are neglected.
Fourteen million Americans eat
daily in restaurants. Yet the
waste in restaurants continues
to be prodigious. One source Of

fight the common enemy. But In
recent days doubt as to the plans
advisability has been expressed
by some Of our friends who do
not like the Darlan- Giraud setup.
These quarters, while protesting
to trust the French general, are
opposed to Admiral Darlan as
the supreme authority In North
Africa.
Hence. they say that If we are
going to give the French forces
sufncient modern war material to
equip q force Of between 200 900
and 10000 men there can be no
guarantee that this army will not
turn against us some day. Re-
sponsible American Army officers
who are in North Africa reject
that theory. They point out that
If the French leaders had any
idea Of double crossing US they
would have resisted our forces
when we reached Algeria and
Morocco and would not have CO.
operated as Loyalty as they are
doing now.
The Nazis are bringing strong
reinforcements into Tunisia. So
long as we do not have any other
problems, there is no question
that we shall in the long run be
able to defeat the enemy al
though the fight will take q large
toll of men and war material.
Useless Controversy.
Despite the useless and bitter
controversy over Admiral Darlan,
there seems to be no doubt that
the French admiral will play ball
with us as long as the military
remains in complete control OF
affairs in that area The agree
ment defining his position was
made with Gen. Eisenhower and
not with the American Govern
ment as such. Thus the admiral
feels fairly secure Ill his position.
But If q super-council Of diplo-
mats and civilian political men
is set up to relieve Gen. Eisen-
hover of his political burdens"
there is no saying how this body
will act and what influence it
will have in the successful prose-
cution Of the campaign.
The battle in Africa-with the
ultimate objective Of crossing
the Mediterranean into Europe
is just beginning and we will
need all kinds Of friends before
we achieve our military objec-
tives, which are the only concern
Of the military men.
The armies we have in the
area are not sufficient to meet
all emergencies. including the
possibility Of the Spaniards join
ing the Germans and trouble
with the millions OF Arabs. At
present we have tc guard our
selves only against Axis air and
naval raiders. The Allied forces
can cope with them But If the
Arabs got on the warpath we
would need many more divisions
to police the huge area.
