ENFORCED LABOR:
In France

Passing one of the most drastic
laws in French history, the Petain
government established the princi-
pie Of forced labor and total dicta-
torship over employment.
The law, originated by Pierre La
val, states that every Frenchman
between the ages Of IS and so and
every French woman between 81
and 35 are subject to be called up
to effect all labors which the gov
eminent will Judge useful in the
highest interests of the nation" The
law contains no limitations as to
where the laborers could be shipped.
Every man must prove to the gov
eminent that he is engaged in work
useful to the country's needs" or
be subject to assignment elsewhere.
Employers may not hire workers
unless they are provided by the gov
eminent labor service.

midas PROBLEM:

The Indian problem appeared
more complex than ever with the
statement by Mohammed Ali jim
nah. leader of India's Moslem
league, that the Moslems would not
be prepared to enter a provisional
government unless their demand for
"pakistan," or the establishment of
a separate Mohammedan state, was
met.
The demands made doubly difficult
Britain's job of placating Indian
factions long at.odds with each other.

TRANSPORTATION:
u. S. Control

Before the operators of 5000, 900
trucks, $4,000 buses and $4,000
taxicabs can obtain gasoline, tires
or parts after November Is, they
will be forced to show Certificates
of war necessity"
Government control of these ve-
hicles as conservation measure
was announced by Joseph B. East
man, director of the Office of De-
tense Transportation. Eastman said
the certificates for commercial We
hicles would require a tire check
every 5000 miles, or every go days
whichever occurs first. Certifi-
Gates, he indicated, would be issued
to all types of trucks and vehicles
built primarily for transporting
property and passengers and others
available for public usage, such as
ambulances and hearses.
The control measure was inaugu-
rated to limit the use of vehicles
to operations necessary to the war
effort, or to the essential domestic
economy.

RAIDS ON BRITAIN:
From the Stratosphere

Germany's third new weapon for
daylight bombing raids against Eng
land was revealed in London with a
disclosure that Nazi substratosphere
bombers, equipped with super
charged Diesel motors, have made
several daylight attacks on Great
Britain.
The first of these bombing raids
on Britain were made from attitudes
of approximately 10000 feet. The
bombers were modified Junkers
cops equipped with experimental
pressure cabins. Others used were
four-motor Heinkel ITS, carrying
eight tons of bombs, equalling the
capacity of Britain's biggest bomb
ers, and the bomb-carrying Focke-
Wulf 1905. The latter planes are
primarily fighters and they are able
to speed low over coastal targets,
getting away before the fast British
Spitfires can get at them.

PICKING STATESMEN
FOR REPRESENTATIVES

BEFORE the congressional pri-
mary was held in the district, FIVE
men, recognized as district leaders
of their party, were discussing the
quaIincatiio..-- of announced candi-
dates for nomination. -Four % u them
talked at length of the ability or
one or the other to represent the
district in congress. It seemed
largely a question of who could get
the most for the district.
Then the fifth man, the editor Of a
country newspaper, asked a simple
question:
"For what purpose do we select
and elect a representative from this
district? Is it to get as much pork
for us as is possible, or is it to
make laws for the people Of all the
United States?"
We send men to congress-repre-
sentatives and senators-to make
the laws and direct the policies of
the nation. For that purpose we
need statesmen, men Of broad vision
and ability, not ''log rollers" 1t is
well that we should consider the job
we are giving a man before we hire
him. The candidate to hire as a
representative or senator is the best
statesman, the man of broadcast vi
sion and ability.

PRODUCTION CUT:
Faced BY Industry

Z In straight-to-the-point speech,
Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the
War Production board, warned the
nation that we are not winning the
war and that, although the nstion's
production is not what it should be,
shifts must be made in material al
lotment that will enforce layoffs and
production changes.
He pointed out that further cuts
In materials for civilian use and
shifts in materials from one war
product to another would be made
to balance war production, and said
such cuts and assignments would
result in enforced layoffs for men
and women intent on production for
victory.

PACIFIC FRONT:
Action Continues

Allied bombing attacks against
Japanese bases in New Guinea con-
tinued with smashing blows taking a
heavy toll in the battle area. Lac
and Salamaua were targets for the
main attacks. Two bombers were
destroyed on the ground at the Lac
airdrome, where II tons of bombs
were dropped on installations.
The communique stated that
ground action in the Owen Stanley
mountain range, where the Japs
were halted about 40 miles north of
the Port Moresby base, was con-
fined to patrol activity.
Meanwhile, the battle of the Solo
mons seemed to have settled down
to battle of supply lines. The
United States and Australia have
poured planes and supplies in to the
marines on Guadalcanal and Tulagi
against Japanese sea and air oppo-
sition.
The Japs have not attacked in
force since the major battle on Au-
gust "a and Is, when U. S. forces de-
feated an enemy invasion force of
more than 40 ships. They have con-
tinued their occasional bombing for
avs and attacks with light naval
craft. Recently the Japanese have
bombed from high attitudes, using
delayed action bombs.

TELEPHONE CALL
FROM AN OLD FRIEND

WHEN, AFTER MANY YEARS,
you are separated from old friends
and associates, when your path has
led you in a new direction to new
surroundings, what pleasing thing
a telephone call from an old friend
can be. I thought of it the other
evening when / had call from Chi
cago. 1t was an old friend who just
wanted to give and receive friendly
greeting To hear that voice over
thousands of miles of wire made
not only brighter evening, but will
continue to brighten the days that
follow-all because Waldo Logan of
Chicago thought of, and talked to
a friend he had not seen for
months.

RUSSIA:
Maxi Advance

While Nazi troops besieging Sta
lingrad battled for a decision the
German air force was reported to
be concentrating its attack on volga
shipping, rail and highway commu-
nications as far southeast as Astra-
khan, where the Volga flows into the
Caspian sea.
The Russian high command an
nounced that REINFORCED German
troops had made further advance
southwest Of Stalingrad. German
broadcasts told of Nazi troops en-
tering the southern part of the city
after capturing additional fortifica-
tions. However, the Russians
claimed they were holding firm to
the west.
The Red communique reported
new enemy drive on the western
bank of the Don river, south of Voro-
nezh, employing an entire infantry
division and 100 tanks. The Ger
mans were said to have lost 1000
officers and men. In the Volkhov
sector east of Leningrad the Ger
mans were reported battling for a
12-mile stretch Of the important Len
ingrad- vologda railway.
Brighter reports came from the
deep Caucasus. German troops in
the mountainous region around MOI
dok were said to be withdrawing
northward." Observers noted that
recent SHOWS in the Caucasus may
have caused the withdrawal and
said that the Axis may have re-
linguished hope of reaching the Cas-
plan sea in that area before winter.

AMERICAN SYSTEM
AND POSTWAR WORLD

AMERICAN SYSTEM
AND POSTWAR WORLD
BARRON'S, the National Finan-
cial Weekly published in New York,
in a recent issue prophesied the
loss to America of the American
system with the close of the war. It
is that system of free competition
under which factories are erected
and operated; under which mer-
chants open stores in which to sell
the products of farms and factories
to consumers; under which profess
sional men maintain offices at which
to sell their services to the public.
It is the American system that
has been responsible for the pro-
duction of new commodities, and
for seeking improved methods Of
production, to the end that better
commodities be produced at less
cost to the purchaser. 1t was the
American system that built the rail-
roads and made cheaper transport
tation possible; that perfected cleo
trio light and power, and reduced
their cost to the public. 1t is the
American system that accounts for
the stores of a town, each Compel
ing with the other in the effort to
best serve the public and attr act
patronage.
Barron's sees the passing of these
things and in their stead the opera
ton and financing of all manufac-
turing, transportation and merchan-
dising by the government.
Should that prophecy prove true,
it would mean one, instead of
number of stores in town; it would
mean all factory workers in the
employ of the government; the gov
eminent would name the price and
conditions of purchase Of each COM
modify. There would be no incen-
tive for improvements; no incen-
tive for lowering production costs or
for the creation of new commodi-
ties.
There would be no place where
those who, by effort and thrift, had
saved might invest their savings and
from such investments provide for
their old age or their families.
Barron's is not alone in this fear
of the passing of the American sys-
tenn of free competition. You see
the possibility mentioned in the best
of the national periodicals and the
newspapers. 1t is talked about by
statesmen and economists, and by
the man on the street, but in that
recent issue of Barron's the reasons
why, and methods Of such terrific
change for America are deliberately
detailed. And that in publication
which for many years has been con-
sidered- ultra conservative.
Should that prophecy prove to be
true, it would mean a new America
"a socialistic America, operated on
the principles of Naziism, Fascism
or Communism-take your choice.

MORCENTHAU:.
Lauds Bond Sales

Flatly denying that he regards the
voluntary war bond sales program
as a failure" Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau de-
clared in a statement to the war
savings staff that the treasury twill
continue to rely upon voluntary
lending for a large part Of our
financing"
The secretary's statement was
made following a recent press con-
ference. He said: ''The impression
seems to have spread that regard
the voluntary war bond program as
a failure This is not only distor-
ton of anything I have said on the
subject, but it is also an injustice
to the hundreds of thousands of de-
voted volunteers in all parts of the
country.

LAVAL PROTESTS
MADAGASCAR OCCUPATION

Even as the British advanced on
Tananarive, inland capital Of NADIA
gascar, pro-Axis Frenchmer were
demanding a elbow for blow re-
prisal against England in retaliation
for the invasion.
Britain's reasons for the occupa-
ton of Madagascar were speedily
set forth. They charged that the
island had supplied Japanese SUBJ
marines for raids in the Indian
ocean and the Mozambique channel;
that German spies had opoerated
there with the help of Vichy French
officials, and that Jap planes had
made reconnaissance flights over the
southern end of the island.
The state department in Washing
ton was quick to endorse the British
campaign to take the French pos
session out of the sphere of Axis
influence. Pierre Laval in Vichy
was equally quick to protest the
American endorsement. He said
that defending forces were Every in
sufficient, and I regret it," He adj
mitted that the French on the island
were putting up mere token resist
ance as matter of 'thoner."
And, as usual, little attention was
paid to the almost chronic COM
plants of Laval.

With that statement, Maj. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, national draft di-
rector, made 1t clear to the nation
that the need for man power in the

the drafting of now deferred hus-
bands with dependents and war pro-
