A FEW COMPARISONS

The recent statement of Secretary of War Stm- that the United States Army, by this time next year would total 75OO0OO men brought amazement extent to which our armed forces were being built The fact is, if Mir Stnlson's prediction is carried out will have almost percent of total popu- lation under arms.
 While this is a tremendous army, as the United States knows armies, it is not large compared with Almanac in 1888 we had but 38 percent of our population under Italy in this same year, had combined army and air force of 7,8ooOOO men or 1763 percent of her population!
 Italy then at war-but many other nations whose armies numbered in the millions still were at peace Take Germany on November l. 1888 She let the world know that army and air that time numbered 4l25 000-more than per- cent of her population And there is probability that the army larger. France had an army of 6.0O0,00o-more than IA percent of all the French people.
 Japan, at that time, admitted an army of G. 250.0O0. Little Yugoslavia had some 1900 900 men under arms-or one out of every 12 of her people. Rumania boasted IL l800000-a total of over nine per- cent In Lithuania, 12 percent of the people were wearing army uniforms
 This, remember. was in 1888 Most of the world then at peace. What those armies number now those of Germany Italy and Japan-we can only estimate. Certainly they would make the 7,500,00 total toward witch we aim modest indeed.

The Wartime Beard Crop
(New York Times


 Associated Press photographs from Papua show three Australian soldiers with boards One might think that these men, who will not be dictated to, had boards because upstart of an officer told them to shave. But photograph of an American tller comes down from the AleutanS. He has a beard too-and handsome man he is Boards in the armed services are very much in style
 The Greeks wore boards Alexander the Great did not, but H. C. Wells once condemned him for 1t. The Romans boards during their repub- lican days, but they culturaly an initiative rather than a creative people When they did take to boards they curled and perfumed them and Rome was conquered by men with tougher whiskers Upper class males went clean-shaven during the greater part of the Dark Ages but the Renaissance brought back glorious boards The great Elizabethan sailors and fighters were bearded to the ears The French and American Revolutions took boards away The Victorian period brought them back. Our own Civil War was fought by both sides who grew boards if they were old enough
 The evidence is not conclusive Yet most heroic periods have been bearded. The sight of these bearded United Nations faces adds to ones confi- dence in victory The slim youth of yesterday is in every sense man today. If the beard comes back It will underline truth already know

Nothing hurts so much as to have
to hire man you don't need, and
nothing sounds sillier to the general
public, whose strong common sense
is offended by the spectacle. Espe-
cially at time like this, when re-
lations between farmer and labor
could be much better, and when the
farms are suffering from an acute
labor shortage. the spectacle Of labor
waste becomes slogan number one in
the campaign against labor's or
CARNATIONS.
There must be an answer, and ]
think there is one. If you will look
at England you will be struck by
the curious fact that there, where
labor has much more power than
here, where 1t has once controlled
the government, where it has a
major political party, and where
high places in the cabinet are oc-
cupied by labor men, there are few,
If any, instances Of fredericksburg, .
or Of rules creating bogus and flc-
tional jobs.
Isn't that odd? Labor has more
power, yet does fewer silly things
At this point one begins to wonder
whether the campaign to reduce
labor's power Is precisely the right
answer to wasteful labor union reg
ulations, and whether, curiously
enough, a campaign to increase Ia
boris power would not end these
customs more quickly.
Illogical at First Blush.
That may not seem logical at first
blush. but I did not invent this
world, I merely report on it. Tnndly,
I suggest with all respect to Mr..
McNutt) that II labor were made re-
sponsible for the rnanpower program

short order, to abolish featherbed-
ding.

offensive to open up the north
ern section Of the Burma road.
Ever since the japanese were
badly hammered in the South
west Pacific, there has been talk
about a nut-cracker operation in
the Indian Ocean and the Pa
cific. The Chinese, in particu-
lar, are most anxious for the
Allies to start such an offensive
which would permit them to OBJ
tain badly needed military
equipment and supplies which
they are receiving only in drib-
lets.
From the point Of view OF our
own strategy in the Pacific, the
creation Of . new front keep
ing large naval and air forces Of
japanese In that area would be
highly desirable and might bring
victory much closer. Unfortu-
nately, the situation In Ida Is
not yet ripe for such a move.
Gen. Wavell has received sub
stantial rcinforcements and has
improved his air and tank force.
But the passive resistance Of the
Indians to the British continues
undated. Mohandas K. Gandni
and the Indian Congress persist
in their demands for 'independ-
ence now" The millions Of fol-
lowers who blindly obey their Or
ders have agreed TO avoid demon
strs tons which might lead to
bloodshed. But the British high
command feels that 1t does not
have the necessary force to fight
the japanese and at the same
time guard the lines Of COM
munication within India against
possible sabotage from followers
Of the Congress.
Gandhi and Nehru Stand.

Nehru have Indicated TO the Brit
tish that "A offensive Ia Burma

cause the Burmese people do

discard. OF course, none Of this
is going to oe done.
What happened in the New
York elections did not help the
New Dealers-any more than 1t
did Mr.. Farley What happened
in Pennsylvania. Connecticut,
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, and
clear across the country to Cali
fornia in the elections helped the
New Dealers still less. They we're
unable to pin on Mr. Farley the
blame for Democratic defeat. To
that extent, at least, the elections
came to the aid of Mr.. Farley.
It made a lot of Democrats who
have been willing to go along with
the New Dealers, SUDDENLY rare
back.
Unless reports from well-ia-
formed quarters are mistaken,
the Democratic National Com
nlittee is soon to have a new
chairman-and its is expected
that the job will be turned over
to Postmaster General Frank
Walker. Chairman ED" Flynn,
who could not elect a Demo-
cratic mayor of New York City
last year because President
Roosevelt gave his blessing to
Mayor La Guardia, and who
could not elect a Democratic
Governor this year, even with
the support of Mr.. Roosevelt, is
going out of the craftsmanship.
Is has been said that the only
reason for the delay in the move
is that an effort is being made to
find something" for Mr.. Flynn
Political Ground Swell.
1t is more than a coincidence
that attacks have been directed
at the New Dealers by Mr.. Farley,
former Secretary of War Harry
Woodring who lives in Kansas,
and Gov. Dixon of Alabama, all
within a small space Of time.
They are outward evidences of
a political ground-swell.
The New Dealers figured that
a defeat for Mr.. Farley in New
Yorks State elections in Nover1-
Der would bring revulsion Of
feeling against the State chair
man. 1t has not, except on the
part of the dyed-in-the-wool
New Dealers.
The latest New-Deal casualty
Is Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson. Mr.. Henderson is leav-
ing his difficult Office, it is said,
because of Ill health and over !,
work. But had he been strong
as on OK, he would have gone
anyway because of the aroused
public sentiment against the
manner in which the oPA had
been administered. When public
sentiment is aroused, things
happen.
A favorite argument Of the
New Dealers is to ask whether
their opponents would repeal the
Social Security Act, the Wagner
Labor Relations Act, the Guffey
Coal Act, etc. Their opponents
would certainly amend these
acts. But what has irritated the
American people Is the bureau
cratic administration Of the
agencies of Government, the
collectivist ideas put forward, .
and the expenditures Of money
for other than war purposes.

I'd Rather Be Right
Responsibility for Munpower Program
Would End Labor Feather Bedding

Labor would have to abolish 1t TO
keep the new place 1t had won in
the community and to make a record
for itself on the facts. Infantile
and cynical labor rules persist. In
part, because infatinsm and cyni-
cism persist in labor relationships in
our country and because much OF
the controversy about labor Is on an
infantile and cynical level.
Thus stupid, labor wasting
made work" rule, which Mr.. Ernest
Bevin could not tolerate In England
precisely because he has power and
because the community has accepted
him and his movement, can and viii
persist here, precisely because there
has not yet been that full acceptance
in America and because winning
petty advantages, therefore, becomes
kind Of sport, fair game, a proper
objective in a dubious battle.
To seize upon these little In
fantilisns and make them the argu-
ment for even less community ac-
ceptance Of the labor movement only
intensifies the evil. They make labor
feel even more strongly that Its only
reliance is its ingenuity.
Responsibility Is Cure.
It is little hard to cali upon labor
to act like a saint while it is being
fought like the devil and every one
Of the merciless verbal attacks Of,
say a Senator ''Pappy" Lee oDan-
lei Of Texas, makes feather bedding
seem just q little more sensible. For
a union to invent fake jobs is IRE
sponsible. The cure for irresponsi-
bility is responsibility. But respon-
sibility depends upon certain COM
munity acceptance and all parties
involved have to give up the little
games simultaneously.
How far we are from that don't
know. When the business side Of
war had to be modified, Donald
Nelson, business leader, was chosen
to do it. unlike some liberals.
think he has done very well) When
the rlanpower side Of the war had
to be mobilized there was no such
matter Of fact agreement that labor
leader ought TO be chosen to do It.
Mr.. Nelson's job was not only IN
honor, it was q hot potato, and
business generally was placed under
duress at once to come through.
The ranpower job Ii also . hot
potato, labor potato, and 1t should
90 to labor, giving labor not only
recognition and high honor, but the
very terrible responsibility Of sue
ceeding. Then the labor movement
would have 10 face up to fictional
work at last.
That would seem to be the way TO
the tolerant community We some
times dream Of during this war.
