U. s. May Lose Peace

Bear Clean Colors'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Wendell
L. Willkie, criticizing American
Army arrangements with Jean
Darlan in Africa, declared To-Day
that some of our leaders seem
to forget that how we win this
war may determine whether we
win the peace" q,
In an interview published in the
Christian Advocate, oficial news
aper-magazine of the Methodist
church, Mr.. Willkie charged that
America had lost moral force"
through the Darlan arrangement,
and therefore by it, we may lose
the peace"
Hates False Finagiing.
with all my soul, hate this false
hnagling with expediency. tempor-
ary or permanent. The peoples
of the world must be given again
the conviction that the banners
Americans fight under bear bright,
clean colors."
Mr.. Willkie referred to arrange
ments whereby Admiral Darlar,
former leader in the Vichy regime,
was recognized by 1t. Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower, United States COM
mander, as head of the French gov
ernment In North Africa. Presi-
dent Roosevelt described the move
as a military expedient to save
American lives and said 1t was .
temporary arrangement.
MIR. Willkie called for a clear den-
milton of United Nations war aims
which the Allied peoples as well as
their leaders helped formulate.
I'VE must make sure that these
I peoples know what they are fighting
for and we must make sure that We
are all fighting for essentially the
same thing"
The most significant thing he
noted on his recent world tour, Mr..
Willkie said. was the awakening Of
the common man all over the
world" irrespective of race. color.
nationality or sex.
Millions Seeing the Light.
Those who persist in holding to
such old shibboleths as the white
mans burden and talk blithely Of
reverting after the war to the OBJ
solete levels Of an imperialistic
status quo, either do not know the
score or stubbornly ignore 1t.
After centuries Of ignorant and
dull compliance, hundreds Of mil
lions Of people in Eastern Europe
and Asia are beginning to see q
great light. They are no longer
willing to be eastern slaves for
western profits. '''
Il have found that to the peoples
Of Africa, the Middle East. China
and the whole Far East, freedom
means the orderly but scheduled
abolition of the colonial system. l.
is not too much to say that this sort
Of freedom is their No. war aim.
Lately they have begun to wonder
whether it is also ours"

Security Agency, and Corrington
Gill. former assistant Works Prof.
ects administrator. The report was
prepared by Miss Evaline Burns,
author of books on the Social Sc
curity program.
After recommending that the Ma
tion must provide a series of con-
structive social services to supple
ment social insurance. the report,
it was said, explains that a basic
system of public assistance, a ma
tional network of public employ
ment services and similar COM
munity services are essential to the
proper functioning of social insur-
ance and to the protection of the
individual.
1t was said that the report holds
further that under such a program
every individual could be assured
that should unforeseen misfortunes
arise neither he nor his family
would be dependent on others,
since there would be provided
minimum regular cash income sup
plemented by other necessary serv-
ices and assistance.
Health Security.
The recommendations are re-
ported to include program Of
health security designed to reduce
the cost of cash payments for sick
ness and disability. This would
call for the extension Of the present
old-age and survivors insurance
to all population groups now ex-
cluded.
The current social security pro-
gram falls into three main divi-
sions unemployment insurance,
old-age and survivors insurance,
and various forms of assistance to
the blind, expectant and needy
mothers dependent and crippled
children and the vocationally un-
trained. With the exception Of old
age and survivors insurance. the
program is administered primarily
by the States, with Federal super
vision and aid.
The public assistance section of
the program is based on need. Like
the Beveridge plan. the report sub
mitted to the President calls for the
elimination of this basis. it was said,
and more Federal funds would be
given to the States,
Survey Released.
Completion and submission of the
report to the President became
known when the American Council
on Public Affairs released a survey
on War and Postwar Social Sc
curity." Among the contributors to
this survey were DR.. Haber, Arthur
J. Altmeyer Social Security Board
chairman, and his assistant. Will
bur J. Cohen, who is reported to
have completed recently study Of
the British social security system
Some of the statements made by
the contributors are said to be sim

ments contained in the report
Mr. Altmeyer declared, There
now exists an administrative foun-

task of a broader and more compre-
hensive social security system" He

Nv the AsSociate0 Press
CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 5.-A pow
erful armada of four-engined
United States Liberator bombers
delivered the first American blow
in history at the Italian main
land yesterday and the smashing
results included the sinking of
cruiser in the harbor of Naples,
the crippling of battleship and
square hits on a second cruiser.
In the first resounding response
to the threat of Prime Minister
Churchill to bomb italy out of the
war, the big warbirds swept over
1,40O miles from their nearest bases
in Libya or Egypt to reach Musso-
lini's most important southwestern
naval station and return home.
Giving the Italians their first
taste OF the high-level precision
daylight bombing with which the
Flying Fortresses have scourged the
Germans in Western Europe, the
Liberators new in heavy force"
q United States communique said.
Tonight, 1t was said, Photographic
reconnaissance showed one cruiser
definitely sunk, a battleship crippled
by several direct hits and another
cruiser badly smashed.
Heavy Blows at Harbor,
Numerous strings of heavy bombs
laid across the crowded harbor,
moles, port railways and other in
stallations had left many features
of the harbor virtually unrecog-
nizable, said experts who examined
the photographs.
Shipping alongside the Porta di
Massa quay and the Victor Emman-
uel mole were the victims Of bulls
eye hits, communique said, and
examination Of the photographs
showed sticks of heavy bombs had
fallen across the Massaniello and
the Cesaro Console moles as we'll.
A harbor railway junction also
was smashed.
The Italians themselves ofhcially
admitted 4 great damage had been
done and listed casualties at 159
dead and 358 wounded-heavier toll
than has been admitted even in any
of the devastating Raj raids from
England on the northern cities OF
Genoa. Turin and Milan.
King Victor Emmanuel was said
to have hastened to the city to view
the stricken section and calm the
population, just as he did after the
northern raids.
Not = Single Plane Lost.
The assault, although 1t was car
ried out just at dusk without the
protection of darkness as the raiders
passed near the numerous air Bases
of Sicily, was made without the loss
of single plane.
The attack was another step In
the Allied campaign to drive the
Axis out of the middle Mediter-
ranean and close its avenues Of rein-
forcement for its forces in Tunisia
and Libya.
Naples is . port Of embarkat ton
for Axis troops to the African
theater. as well as the base for q
part Of the italian fleet which Ia
now reported divided between Italy's
west coast and the Adriatic.
The Allies have been increasingly
active with their naval forces, as
we'll as their air forces, in the
Sicilian straits in an effort to cut
of the flow Of men and supplies to
Axis footholds in Africa.
The Morocco radio last night said
IL Axis ships were sunk during the
naval action in the straits Wednes-
day night in which British warships
attacked an Axis convoy. Previous
reports said 10 ships were sunk.

to hold Saturday night community

saving rubber and fuel and at the
