1t is true that events in North
Africa, the South Pacific and in
Russia, justifiably strengthen belief
in the ultimate victory. but to in
terpret these as meaning the war
is nearly over or to expect the re-
strictions on civilian life at home
to be less severe Is a notion which
should be discouraged for two rea-
sons-first, because 1t makes 1t
! harder for us to bear up under the
impact Of bad news sure to come;
second, because 1t will make the
sacrifices that lie ahead less easy to
sustain with cheerfulness and forth
| tude.
Hardships 10 Increase.
The fact Is that from now until
the end OF the war, which still
stretches indefinitely into the fu-
ture, these sacrifices will become
increasingly heavy, and the re-
straints imposed upon us constantly
more rigorous.
Barring a miracle, it will be many
long months before any relaxing is
possible. 1t requires no clairvoyant
knowledge to know this to be true
All one need do is grasp the fact
that with every week the number of
American soldiers and sailors abroad
increases; that in the course of a
short time there will be more than
a million of them scattered all over
the globe; that the War Depart
ment plans contemplate an Army
Of 100000 the great bulk of which
will be sent abroad; that the Navy,
now $4,000 will be expanded to
1000 900; that the President recently
expressed the belief that our Army
alone would ultimately total
$500 900.
II his estimate is only half right
and If only half of that half goes
abroad, still the strain of equipping.
maintaining and supplying so vast
an armed force 50 many thousands
Of miles away from home and on so
many different fronts will subject
our economy to a strain such as no
other nation has ever borne, or
could bear, and which will require
the last ounce OF. our strength,
great as 1t is When one considers
that in the last war we had only
two million men abroad and all on
one front, the stupendous nature of
the Job on our hands can be appre-
ciated.
Lehman's Task Discussed.
In addition, and aside from the
materials We are sending our Allies,
the Presidents appointment of Mr..
Lehman As Director OF Foreign Re-
lief and Rehabilitation marks the
beginning Of another immense task
that, in itself, will test our resources
to the utmost
For years to come food, clothes
and materials will be pouring out of
this country in steady torrent
and not very much coming back.
The whole business is on so much
greater a scale than in the last war
that there literally is no COMPARE
son. 1t is 80 vast. indeed, that no
one in Washington or out had a
clear conception Of It's size or now

This Changing World
Allied Military Leaders Said to Regret Delay
In Signing Of Agreement With DorIon

anti British. Thus, when the
Washington and London gov
ernments refused to accept .
definite agreement to last until
such time as France Is freed,
he began to think that possibly,
after all. the British have ideas
Of their own regarding the status
Of North Africa after the war.
OF course, there Is no basis
for suspecting the British Of de-
string to take over territories be-
longing to their Allies. but 1t Is
natural that the London gov
eminent should want to maintain
its overseas possessions and in
sist that they remain under the
British crown. But neither
Prime Minister Churchill nor any
one In his entourage-no matter
how dyed-m-the-wool Tory he
may be-has ever suggested even
by implication that Britain
would like to have . finger In
the North African pie.
Admiral Darlan, because of his
views. has been the subject of
suspicion In liberal circles in the
United States and Britain and
the name-calling has ranged
from "opportunist" to traitor"
No thought. however, Is In the
minds of members of the Allied
high command who have had the
opportunity OF working in close
contact with the admiral and who
are willing to gamble that he will
play the game to the bitter end.
But the high command does not
have the free hand it needs to
handle the situation. except in a
limited framework, for the dura-
ton OF operations.
Believes Cards Are Stacked.
Rejection of the agreement,
which had been carefully pre-
pared in Algiers by Gen. Essen
hover and his civilian adviser,
Robert Murphy, has made a deep
impression on Admiral Darlan.
He apparently believes the Allied
cards are stacked against him
and that, once the Allies obtain
from him all they desire, he will
be thrown into the discard.
The effect Of this situation
already is being felt in the oper-
ations against Tunisia. 1t may
be further felt when the question
OF cooperation Of the French
Navy with the Allies approaches
a decision. The French navy in
Africa is not very large. But 1t
consists OF a number of good
flghting vessels, particularly
cruisers and destroyers and the
modern battleship Richelieu
which is at Dakar, and could be
made into an efficient fighting
unit after having necessary re-
pairs made in an American navy
yard. These ships could relieve
some Of the American naval units
protecting the Mediterranean and
the West African coast against
Axis submarines and surface
ships.
In military quarters it is hoped
that the Washington and London
governments will change their
attitude toward the French ad-
miral, who still holds the key to
North Africa, and that the agree
ment with him soon will be
signed.

Censorship Criticized as Giving Inference Thot u S.
Approves Personal Views Censor Passes

because he is, himself In the dark.
Nor does the American censor do
the author the courtesy Of in
forming him that such and such
an article Is prevented from
being transmitted. He there
fore does not know which OF his
writings Is being published and
which not; he does not know
the reasons for the objections;
and his own mind is therefore
confused.
Now, as our military campaign
proceeds, 1t is accompanied by
political strategies. These stra-
tegies will determine the political
and theological outcome of this
war and profoundly influence the
peace to follow. And there is no
good telling the American people
or the American press that these
political strategies are no concern
OF the public, but are all dictated
exclusively by military necessity
and belong in the military field
and are therefore not open to
public criticism. For to say so is
tantamount to claiming that the
most profund issues Of this war
may not be publicly discussed or
If publicly discussed must be con-
fined within the United States.
And this issue is Of peculiar i'm
portance in the United States
because here the press-in all its
ramiflcations of the printed word
together with the radio has
come to constitute the only forum
of disinterested public opinion
outside the executive, on all the
issues of foreign affairs. Con-
gress on foreign affairs is COM
pletely dead.
British Set-up Different.
The same cannot be said Of
Britain, where the government is
continually forced to explain it.
self and defend itself before an
extremely active Parliament. Nor
can the British censor suppress
parliamentary remarks. What
critics Of the Vichy policy say in
the House of Commons is there
fore known to the people OF the
United States. But the articulate
instruments of the various lines
Of thought comment In this coun-
try are suppressed according to
the opinion OF an anonymous
censor.
Now this has one practical
effect Of extreme disadvantage to
our Government and 1 beg the
Government TO consider it seri-
ously.
The moment it becomes known
that there is 4 censorship which
lets some things by and sup
presses others, everything that is
allowed to 60 by receives by in
ference the imprint Of the Gov
eminent. It's passage by the cen
sor Is tantamount to q Govern
ment OK. and the Government
therefore becomes, by every inn
plication, responsible for the
wholly personal opinions of any
writer.
Does the Government wish this
to happen? I would like to know.
And does 1t not amount to a linn
tied gleichschaltung of the Amer
lean press. without the writer's
even knowing how they are
gleichgeschaltet?
The larger issue is much more
important. Freedom of speech
and freedom of expressions are
written in Anglo-Saxon tradition
and In the Atlantic Charter. It
is an odd logic that suppresses
them while We fight for them.

WASHINGTON HAS
NOTHING ON CITY
Government Bonds Sold at
Identical Rate as That
Listed Locally

The interest rate of 1907 submit
ted by the low bidder for the $780,
600 isues Of water supply bonds is
one of the lowest in local municipal
history, city officials pointed out to-
day. Only a few years ago, when
the city issued $1,000 900 in funding
bonds, the city had to agree to pay
interest of 51a%.
An interesting sidelight is the
fact that U. S. government bonds,
sold this week at Washington, went
at the Identical rate as Waterburys s.,
the government awarding the issue
at a rate of 1907.
The local rate is really even lower
than the officially Listed 100, for
the successful bidder, Halsey, Stuart
g. Co., paid a premium Of $1,164.
This brings the rate down to 1879.
The low interest rate will mean
savings by the city in interest each
year.

ClTY'S BALANCE
NOW $5,667,478

The city had balance of $685.
499 remaining in 1912 appropria-
tons after the first month of this
years operations, Controller Thomas
M. Conlon reported today. The bal
ance was equivalent to 90.4 per cent
of the total appropriations Of S.
1885, 44.
Payments on bond principal and
interest accounted for a consider
able part Of the expenditure, many
such payments falling due in Janu-
airy.
Department spending, Controller
Conlon,s report shows, was all kept
within budget limits.
The city's financial situation will
be helped this year by the decision
of Mayor Vincent A. Scully to post
pone all capital projects that are
not absolutely necessary These
projects, he believes, should be held
up so that a backlog Of NEEDED pub
