They get in each others way.
They duplicate effort, increase ex-
penses and minimize the effect be-
cause they lack coordination and a
single directing head. At the mo-
ment the task Of prompting the ma
tional morale appears to be divided
among number of agencies. Two
of these have received an almost
identical assignment from the Presi-
dent, but the others have just as
Sumed responsibility and are buSily
pegging away in an independent ef-
fort to win the war by publicity. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that they
are not making very much progress.
As a result, nothing like an ef-
fective effort is being made. The
publicity OF one department ap-
peals to the people on one ground:
the publicity Of another appeals on
another. One agency concentrates
on urging hatred of Germans and
another endeavors to arouse pa
triotic fire by pointing out the ma
tional peril. The two organizations
designated by the President to boil
ster morale are the once of Facts
and Figures, headed by Archibald
MacLeish. and the once of Civilian
Defense, headed by an awkward and
embarrassing triple alliance COM
posed of Mayor La Guardia. Mrs.
Roosevelt and James Lands, the
new $40 900 executive.
Lack Coordination.
The MacLeish agency, though not
equipped with enough authority
and unable to direct where 1t can
not persuade, is doing good work in
the propaganda line. 1t would do
much better work if the scatter
Drained o. C. D. were limited to de-
fense and had nothing to do with

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The Japanese advance in
Malaga has reached . point now
where its rapid progress will be
reduced and every inch of terri
tory henceforth will be stub
bornly disputed by the British.
Besides their air superiority the
Japanese have had the advantage
Of fighting in the jungle. Now
they are entering Z civilized
zone" where the empire defenders
will have considerable advantage
in the man-to-man fight. Fur
thermore, the permanent fortifi-
cations in that region will give
the British forces An edge.
This does not mean, however,
that Singapore Is safe. British
and American quarters have seri-
Gus misgivings as to its ultimate
fate, for the loss Of the Gibraltar
of the East is considered to be
more than possibility.
Reinforcements are arriving In
the South Pacific, according to
oficial sources. Planes. men and
material are reaching the various
outposts every day, but whether
these are being rushed to the
Malayan front or held in reserve
elsewhere is q military secret.
Indies Are Chief Concern.
The principal concern of Aus
tralians and Dutch naturally is
defense of the Netherlands Indies.
Many quarters in Washington
believe that even II Singapore
were eventually to be abandoned
Java and Sumatra could be held
indefinitely
Indefinitely" is not to be
taken as meaning any long time.
1t refers to the time-not so far
away-when the United Nations
hope to take the offensive on all
fronts and defeat the Axis. Until
that time. however. military au-
thorities In the Indies and in
Washington are convinced that
the islands can be defended
against practically any attempt
Of the Japanese to take them.
The Philippines are = perfect
example Of the contention Of
those who want to defend the
Netherlands Indies to the limit.
Although Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur has no aviation left and
his army's principal lines Of COM
munication with the outside
world have been cut, he has
been able to put up resistance
stif1 enough to take an unbe-
lievable toll of Japanese men and
materials.
The Hong Kong garrison, 1t is
pointed out in the same quarters,
surrounded As 1t was, could have
prolonged its resistance had its
water supply not been destroyed.
Isles Being Reinforced.
Java and Sumatra can exist
for a long time on their own
supplies of food and water. On
both these islands there are
strong military forces which are
being strengthened continually
by new arrivals from Australia,
Britain and the United States.

The Great Game of Politics
Effective Propaganda Morale Job Awots Unified
Control Over Multiple, Free-Lonce Agencies

an executive order issued four
months later. The two orsaniza-
tions are friendly but they are dis
tinct and utterly unco-ordinated
There isn't even an o. c. D. repre-
sentative on the o. r. r. Advisory
Board, on which nearly everything
else Is represented.
And just As there are two agencies
for morale or propaganda work
within the country. so are there
two for the foreign field. Col. Will
liam J. Donovan's organization has
charge Of propaganda for Europe
and Asia, but the Nelson Rookie
feller good will and glamour" setup
is responsible for South and Latin
American propaganda. That there
ought not to be two In the domestic
field and two in the foreign field is
too clear to argue. Obviously, prop
uganda to be really effective should
all be co-ordinated under one head.
At any rate, there should not be
divided authority in the same field
That is absurd. Better results would
be obtained at home II the Mac
Leish agency had full control and
authority; if the o. c. d. were
divested of all morale functions and
II all the other domestic publicity
agencies were subordinated to the
O. r. F.
Donovan Unit Effective.
And certainly, in the foreign field.
the Donovan organization is vastly
better equipped and more intelli-
gently directed Its effectiveness has
already been demonstrated. Even II
this difference did not exist, 1t would
not make sense to have two Diff
ferent heads directing foreign prop
aganda. 1t means embarrassing
competition for radio time, short
waves and writing talent. 1t means
all manner of confusion and con-
flict. Mr.. Roosevelt could do few
more helpful things than to
straighten out this mess. The way
to straighten it out is to pick out
the clearly indicated men, give them
complete authority over all other
agencies and tell them to 60 ahead.
Possibly the President will get
around to doing this. At any rate,
the first thing such men ought to
do Is to weed out the tangled pub
licity jungles in which literally an
army of useless and expensive press
agents are concealed
Nothing would quite 30 quickly
clarity the murky Washington at
moSphere as that-nor so promptly
promote efficiency in the war ma
chine. Col. Donovans department,
so far as known. still stands as the
only defense or non-defense gov
ernmental agency without a paid
press agent. publicity director, public
relations man, personal propagan-
dist or promoter. Perhaps that is
one reason 1t operates 50 well.

with Fascist ideas: they were
hostile to the German and Italian
nations, but susceptible to their
ideologies. They wanted to win
the war for France and Fascism.
So they lost it for France to
Fascism.
When the war came, France
was full of anti-Fascist refugees.
France treated them as enemy"
aliens, pro-Fascists denounced
them; the government locked
them into concentration camps
along with Nazi spies. Mean
while, the pro-Fascist elements
in France remained at large; on
the very eve of the break through
Holland, an intimate friend Of
the Prime Minister told me in
M. Reynaud'S presence that she
regretted that France was not
Fascist. Laval was telling COR
respondents that the foreign pol
icy had been wrong from the
beginning Senator Wheeler
is still doing, privately, to his
correspondents.
The masses of the people in
France knew this, and their
apathy was immense. They were
skeptical of war against Fas-
cism led by those tainted with it.
British Policy Logical.
Britain also pursued enemy"
aliens and locked thousands in
concentration camps until the
more sensible British people in
tervened for the release Of those
clearly pro-British and pro-
democracy. But the British were
at least logical. They also lockee
up Sir Oswald Mosely and were

But what about the native
born or naturalized Americans OF
the German-American Bund who
were cheering the swastika to the
very outbreak of the war? How
about all the rest of our native
Fascists who have been handing
out the Stuttgart line for the
NaziS. and who even now are
fighting only the eastern end of
the Axis which is still the
Nazi party line. And this latter
line has never been repudiated
by Lindbergh.
Senator Reynolds is an outright
pro-Nazi. unless miraculously
converted on December 7. He has
been quoted and praised in Hit
ler's Berlin Voelkischer Beobach-
ter. Two hundred thousand of
his own constituents protested his
appointment as chairman Of the
Military Affairs Committee Of the
Senate. But he is still there, to
make the stomach of patriot
feel queaSy.
In all countries the work Of
the Nazis has been done by ma
tive citizens, politicians and aei-
tatcrs. who have asserted their
loyalty to the war until a mo-
ment Of severe strain.
Double Talk Answers.
On December 10 the State De-
partment issued a statement OF
policy discouraging all free ma
tional movements In America.
Does the department realize what
that did to break morale amongst
anti-Nazis of Polish. Czech. Nor
wegian and other descents? Are
We seeking everywhere allies for
a New World OF freedom and
democracy. or are We pursuing
just another national war? The
question is answered one way by
the President and Mr.. Churchill:
another way by our ofncial be-
havior. But keeping that ques-
tion clear happens to be primary
to winning the war and the
peace. All who are against Hit
ler's and Tojo's feudalism are our
allies; all who are for it are our
enemies. On this line we can
wage an international peoples
war of immense political power.
But without that line. the war
is a repetition of the pattern of
l917-l8, and since this is not the
pattern. and the people know it.
the war will be dampened as it
was in France by popular apathy.
The war for the liberation of
humanity. That is a slogan to
oppose to the supermen warriors
and the new order of industrial
feudalism, provided we mean it.
The people do mean it. But our
officials seem rather inclined to
start the old routine grinding.

This Changing World
Observers Believe Netherlands Indies Could
Be Held Indefinitely II Singapore FoIIs

The Dutch aviation Is not equal
to the enemys, but 1t, too, is
being reinforced.
Airplane factories were estab-
hshed on both islands some time
ago. and while they are not
capable of producing any great
numbers Of planes. they can cer-
tainly repair damaged ships and
produce new parts and even mo-
tors. This was not the case in
the Philippines or in the other
territories which the Japanese
have attacked since December 7.
Furthermore, there is what can
now be described As 4 strong
naval force in the waters sur
rounding the Netherlands possess
sions. Admiral Thomas C. Hart,
the commander of the American
naval forces. has established his
headquarters in the Indies and
is ready to operate from there.
The hundreds of small islands be-
tween Sumatra and Australia
offer excellent hiding places for
Allied submarines and light naval
craft.
lam Eve AustrsIis
On the whole, from the mill
tary point Of view there seems to
be no reason why the United Ma
tions cannot hold the Indies in
definitely, especially since the
Japanese are paying so heavily
for everything they conquer in
Malaga.
Last-ditch defense of Java and
Sumatra is Of particular impor-
tance to the Australians who feel
that If the Japs take those
islands the menace to the hub Of
the empire" would be increased a
hundredfold.
Some strategists believe the
Japanese, if they win Java and
Sumatra, will continue their op-
erations in connection with the
Nazis toward India and the Near
East. Australians and many
American ofncers are inclined to
think, however. that the Japs will
concentrate their major effort
against Australia, which they
have coveted ever since they con-
ceived the plan for control Of
the South Seas.
More than one Jap jingoist
has pointed to that rich conti-
nent as the logical and appropri-
ate place Of expansion for the
Japanese race, which can find no
room on the Chinese mainland.
The British Prime Minister
Churchill, who remains unob-
trusively IN Washington to CO.
operate with President Roosevelt
and other British and American
authorities In directing the STRAIT
egy Of the United Nations. is
watching the situation carefully.
Many observers regard it as
logical that If Singapore is
abandoned, the Netherlands In
dies will assume the role both
of pivotal point Of defense Of the
United Nations in the Pacific and
the springboard for the coming
Allied offensive In this zone of
operations.
