the Australian envoy in Wash
ington, Mr.. Richard G. Casey.
has been appointed by Mr..
Churchill to seat in the British
War Cabinet. Mr.. Curtin, who
opposed the shift, thinks that Mr..
Casey's post in Washington is
more important than a seat in
the British War Cabinet.
Our role in this is not very
agreeable, for the general import
of the matter seems to be that
Mr.. Curtin is playing to the
United States against London,
and I suppose we are expected to
be fiattered and Britain to be a
little Inundated. The extension
of the British War Cabinet to in
clude an Australian is a compn-
ment to Australia, and the offer
to Mr.. Casey, who knows the
United States extremely well,
seems intelligent, for it puts into
the British councils q man with
close American connections. This
undoubtedly Influenced Mr..
Churchill's thinking on the
matter.
Personal Note Introduced.
Also, Mr.. Curtin has intro
duced a personal and partisan
note into the matter, making the
quarrel appear as one between a
labor leader Prime Minister and
a tory" Prime Minister of
Britain.
On this point it should be said
that Mr.. Churchill has disre-
garded partisanship in the ap-
pointment of his government:
that some of the most important
posts in his cabinet are held by
Labor party men; that Sir Staf-
ford Cripps, who has been made
second in the cabinet only to Mr..
Churchill and intrusted with a
most important mission to India,
certainly is no tory" bat is a
little to the left of the majority
Labor party.
Actually, Mr.. Churchill, like
President Roosevelt, has had
the instinct to put himself above
partisanship.
And, unfortunately, the same
cannot be said of Mr.. Curtin.
Mr.. Curtin has a majority of just
one in his Parliament, and yet
he has never extended his cabi-
net to include his opponents.
There is another question Of
principle involved. 1t appears
that Mr.. Churchill approached
Mr.. Casey directly, obtaining his
consent, instead of asking the
Australian government to ap-
point a member to the British
war cabinet. Mr.. Curtin thinks
that he should have had the
sole selection of the member.
Cooperative Minister Needed.
Normally, this would no doubt
have been the proper protocol.
But it is extremely important
that the man selected should be
one with whom the British cab
met is certain it can cooperate.
In war the responsible leader
must act, and not spend his time
and his energies in negotiations
of minor Importance. So, on the

Peru Reports Arrival

LIMA, Peru, March 23.-The War

night that "at the request Of the
Peruvian government some quanti-
ties of United States war material
have been sent to strategic points in

"This material has been accom-

,IIed Unfortunate; U. S.
tier Who Its Ambassador Is
whole, Mr.. Curtin's clamor seems
pretty small potatoes.
But Ut any rate, Australia, who
In her history has been rather
isolationist, now is crying for
help, and Australia needs help.
She Is Ill prepared for this war.
Until the entrance of Japan,
Australia had never introduced
conscription; her war expendi-
lures were way below the level
OF Canadas; her immigration
policy, maintained by . labor
government anxious to keep up
high wages, has kept the Aus.
tralian population under TO-
00,000 in . continental country,
and these things have al weak
ened her defense against the
masses Of Japan. With q little
more foresight and Imagination,
and less egotism. Australia could
have been a major power In the
Pacific.
But obviously this is no time
for a criticism of past polices-
for what nation, reviewing its
immediate past, but can flnd
grounds for self lf-criticism? On
the other hand this is also no
time for further egotism-for the
advancement of the theory that
there is one point on the globe
that has to be defended at all
costs no matter what happens
elsewhere.
u. 8. to Aid Australia Anyway.
Curtin seems to fear that Brit
ain, of the northwest coast Of
Europe, Is more interested In
European affairs than in the Pa.
cific and is concentrating on de-
Tending herself first.
Or, Mr.. Curtin seems to fear
that Britain, by sending Mr..
Casey as q member of the British
War Cabinet to Cairo, has in
mind to forestall the juncture Of
Japan and Germany in the
Middle East. And all this seems
to be less important than the
immediate defense of Australia.
Actually, it is all part Of the de-
fense of Australia, as the defense
of Australia is part of the total
war.
And Mr.. Curtin apparently
thinks that If he has a very ener-
getic representative in Washing
ton, one with the best Of con-
facts to American personalities,
it could influence the whole
strategy Of the war here, In the
interests of Australia.
That is understandable too, but
in this he is wrong. The United
States intends to make every
effort as far as Australia Is con-
cerned, no matter who is Aus
tralia's Ambassador to Washing
ton-or whether there is any at
all!
Hitler Has Row on His Hands.
For our immediate and long
range interests are involved. Our
relations with Australia are
established on the strongest pos
sible basis through the sending
of General Macarthur there, and
our relations are, for the dura-
ton, primarily military.
So the sooner this quarrel Is
abandoned, the better it will be
for every one concerned.
And, cheerio-this little tempest
is nothing compared with what is
taking place in European Axis
ranks. The Rumanians are now
threatening to fight the Hun
garians, though both of them are
supposed to be fighting Russia at
the same time on behalf Of Hitler.
Germany is sending trouble
shooters to Bucharest and Buda-
pest. The significant thing about
1t would seem to be the timing
on the verge of the spring cam
paign.
Let's not begin to quarrel at
the very moment when they
begin to quarrel.

the last 20 months Congress would
have passed modifying labor legis-
lation had not the weight of the
White House been against 1t. Ac-
tually, the House has twice passed
such . bill, but both times the
White House influence has sue
ceeded In burying it in a Senate
committee.
The developments Of the last week
are significant. First, there was the
strong movement among members of
Congress. prodded by their constitu-
ents, to establish the 48 instead of
the 70 hour week for the duration
of the war. When this movement
was at its height . conference of
the labor lobbyists was held at the
White House. From there they
emerged declaring that labor volun-
tarily relinquished the right to
strike, and that no legislation was
necessary. Immediately, the Presi-
dent declared against relaxing the
40-hour week and urged that Con-
gress take no action.
White House Deal Seen.
1t has all the appearance of a
deal-a deal by which, in return
for the statement about strikes, the
President would block the proposed
legislation. From the standpoint of
the national interests it seems q
poor deal. In the first place, this
statement about giving up the right
TO strike has been made before. Yet
strikes continue. Last week there
were Is strikes, slow-downs and
other disputes, holding up produc-
ton and involving 6,681 employees.
In the second place, the reiterated
declaration was clearly timed to
head OH congressional action.
Mr.. Roosevelt, on his part, was
not content with declaring against
extending the 40-hour week and
dismissing strikes as not as serious
to production as the common cold.
In addition, formidable group of
his aides went before a Senate COM
mittee to oppose the pending legis-
lation. Among them was Mr.. Knud-
sen, who some time ago indorsed
the st. Lawrence waterways project
because they asked me TO-" and
Undersecretary of War Patterson,
who last Labor Day, for the same
reason, sent messages to Mr.. Mur-
ray and Mr.. Green congratula ting
them on the splendid record Of
labor, though millions of man-days
had then been lost through strikes
on defense contracts of Mr.. Pat
terson's own department-and, as
he well knew. millions more were
to be lost. AS . climax to this
merging of labor leader and ad-
ministration interests came the

days IN many important aircraft
plants.
Because of the censorship rules
not those of the office of Byron Price
but those of the Office of Archibald
MacLeiSh-the truth has been kept
from the press and from the aircraft
workers themselves. Management's
problems and perplexities have been
intensified, and the morale of thou
sands of workers has been damaged
by the unfortunate friction and
suspicion which the suppression
policy has created.
The reason why aircraft produc-
ton has had to be reduced is that
the capacity for building and as
sembling planes has run ahead of
the capacity to manufacture parts
That is an Understandable delay
and there is no reason why the pub
lie should not be told of it, even
though it does reveal a lack of
planning and an overemphasis on
plants for 1943 when production and
supply problems for 1912 have not
been solved
America is we'll ahead of any
other nation in the world in air.
craft production already 1t is not
something to keep secret but to tell
to the world, and particularly to
the people of Germany and Japan,
whose morale at the moment is high
because of temporary gains but
whose morale will gradually be de-
pressed as news of the awful might
of American bombers spreads
throughout the globe.
Policy Can Be Defended.
The last war was not won by the
military, naval and aerial forces
alone, but by skillful psychological
tatics which have been almost COM
pletely subordinated this time to the
fantastic notion that giving out in
formation which could form the
basis Of criticism renders laid and
comfort to the enemy"
If we are concentrating on the
production of heavy bombers now
and need every bit of material for
them instead of fighter planes, OF
which we have for the present all
that we can ship, this could be de-
Tended as a sensible diversion of
supplies from one type of aircraft
plant to another.
To carry out such change in
emphasis one month and perhaps go
back to the original schedule a
month or two later means, however,
q shift from a siX-day week to a
five-day week and cut in the pay
envelope. Management tells few
of the union leaders about it, and
they sincerely try to convey the idea
to the men. But while that is hap
pening, Donald Nelson, the four
major networks and the propaganda
from the MacLeish Office of Facts
and Figures" cry out for a seven
day week and continuous operation
of machines. The plea for increased
production is couched in generai-
ties. To be specific or to differ
entiate between types of plants is
supposed to be helping the enemy.
But what is the workman to think
who reads in the press about the
acute need of air power on the fight
ing fronts just as aircraft produc-
ton in his own plant is being cur
tailed? That somebody is spoofing
him?
Manufacturers Ex0nefated.
