PROHIBITION

The Presbyterian women's mis-
sonoV organizations have launched
the inevitable drive for wortime prohi-
bition, based as was the similar and
successful drive IS years ogo on the
patriotic desire ITO deny ourselves un-
necessary indulgence, to mointoin
physical fitness and to conserve mate
rial"
Those motives are powerful We
should remember, however, that these
women and others ore using the ex-
igencies Of war to promote their actual
goal Of permanent prohibition. Those
who ore convinced that morality can
not be IeeisIoted should not be msIed
BY the eentleness Of this pressure.

FOR POWDER, NOT TIRES

The grain farmers, who would like
to see surplus wheat and corn used in
the war effort, ore misdirecting their
efforts. They ought to shoot at the nu
nitions END, not at rubber.
Scientists working on the rubber
problem tell us that short Of O miracle
petroleum will always beat grain as q
source Of synthetic rubber, because
the process is more direct. But grain is
an ideal source Of alcohol, now being
made from moIosses at the cost Of
sugar rotioning for the public. No
body yet has given q convincing reason
why we can't make the alcohol for
United Nations munitions out Of
grain, freeing the sugar for heot-Pro-
ducing food.

WE HOPE IT'S TRUE

There is nothing we would rather
believe than that the switch in war
production policy is based upon official
belief that we may be able to end the
war in 1912. But "they" forgot to put
rose-coIored glass into our sPectocIes.
Careful reading Of world news sug-
gests another explanation, less pleas
ant but perhaps more realistic, That is
that the chonge-over is designed to
stop those continual reversoIs, result
ing from q too little and too late" pol
ICY Instead Of expecting to win in
1912, perhaps we ore seeking to assure
that we can take the offensive in l943
in order that we may win in 1914 or

T II f COMMANDOS," by
Elliott Arnold (Duell, Sloan &
Pcarce: $3.50.
There can be no doubt that
Norway and her plight have
struck pretty deeply into the
consciousness of our noveliSts.
First came John Steinbeck. by
a neck. Then came a younger
writer named William WoodS
lhis name really is Wang) with
his superb novel of Norwegian
resistance. And today there is
Elliott Arnold and his The
Commandos,' by all odds the
best book he has done SO far.
The Commands is in
theory about those thorns in the
side Of Hitler. There is plenty
about them in the book, to be
sure, but the part that sticks
most tightly in the readers mind
is once again the NorWegians,
and their logged struggle against
inhuman, and inhumane, odds.
Nobody is likley to forget young
Alan Lowell, who leads force
Of commandos. Still less will
he forget NiCole Larsen, and be-
cause their tense and bitter
drama is Played in Norway and
not in England, the novel itself
becomes a Norwegian novel.
This is no loss.
Nicole lives in Stavanger and
is the center of Norwegian re-
sistance on one hand, and Of
British spy nest on the other.
She has kept her beautiful
home, and it has become kind
of club for the Nazi officers in
Stavanger, and particularly for
Paul Dichter. DiChter is the typ
ical Nazi havc-not who has
risen to power in the party and
makes this a compensation for
his poverty-ridden youth in
Munich. The trouble with
Dichter is that he is in love,
hopelessly in love, with Nicole.
SO is Alan, and his love dates
from a meeting years before in
Budapest. It becomes necessary
that DiChter be "liquidated" if
Nicole is TO continue her work.
She thinks il best that an out
slider do the job, and by novel
istic license Alan Lowell is the
commando chosen. Thereby
hangs much of Mr.. Arnold's tale.
1t is unimportant that this is
not even a family original plot
as such things go. Mr.. Arnold
keeps it simple. He plays it out
before a complicated back
ground in which the whole sys-
tenn Of lite people gnawing re-
lcntlesSly a. the vitals of their
COnqucrOrS is seen at work
Most OF the book is written with
great restraint, so that the
climaXes strike hard when they
come. And they come often
enough TO make the whole book
strike hard, and deeply.
