By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The surrender OF Marshal Pc
tain to pressure from Berlin is a
clear indication that the big
German drive in the Mediter-
ranean Is about to begin.
London and Washington have
realized for many months how
important French cooperation
with the Nazis will be in the event
Of an all-out German attack in
the Mediterranean area. For that
reason the State Department
left no stone unturned to pre-
vent close collaboration between
France and the Axis.
The chief instrument in the
attempt TO keep Marshal Petain
''in line" was our Ambassador in
Vichy, Admiral William D. Leahy.

no other arguments than the fact
that America Is now in the war
and Is sending a few ships with

latlon TO which they OBJECT so
violently is certain to come soon.
The points upon which the test
will be had are-flrst. extension of
the 40-hour week to 48 hours: sec
ond, cessation during the war
not only OF strikes, but of drives
for the closed shop, the union shop
and all shades thereof; third,
limitation on union initiation fees,
dues and assessments so that men
who want to work may do so with
out paying exorbitant union charges;
fourth, establishment Of a flexible
ceiling over wages as q means to
avert imitation.
With these will be linked drastic
action to limit war profits.
Few detached persons will deny
that If the proposals enumerated
above, including profit limitations,
had become American policy when
our defense effort began early in
l941. the Nation now would be mill
tarily more formidable, the cost of
preparation vastly less, the internal
danger of imitation far more remote
and victory much closer.
Indicated by Experience.
All these things were clearly
indicated by the experience of
the last war. from the lessons
of which 1t is reasonable to be-
lieve we would profit. The ques-
ton Is why haven't we7 A truth

took nearly Is months of pounding
to get the single headed production
board. How long it will be before
steps in these other matters will be
taken is uncertain. but there are
indications that some notifications
of the White House attitude are tax
ing place.
OF course, there Is no difficulty
about the curtailment of profits. No
one Is opposed to that except the
protiteerS The reason action has
not been taken before Is because
there had been no public exposures
and consequently no public indig-
nation. Action, speedy and firm,
will come on this. Again experience
should have dictated such action in

Strength of United Notions Points to U. S,
Establishing q Front First Against Hitler

could be Knocked out on the
ground in matter Of hours. and
actually the first blitz did de-
stroy thousands of Russian
planes. But production capacity
is decisive in a long war. and
the German presumption, 1t is
now absolutely clear, was for a
blitz. not for a long campaign.
The German air force must
remain divided, and on Monday
Ernest Bevin made the statement
that the British production is
now equal to the German What
the American production is We
know.
1t is therefore obvious that the
Nazis have lost air superiority on
all fronts.
Not only is Russian man power
superior, but there is a large re-
serve army in Britain and pre-
sumably an enormous arsenal OF
weapons of all kinds. And there
is an army in the Near East and
in Africa.
Our strategical position Is
good. Germany with all of
Europe. is in pincer. with the
Russians and the powerful base
on the British Isles.
Shouldn't Sap Strength.
Now, If We are weak in the
Pacific and strong in Europe,
should We divide our forces and
divert them from where We are
strong to where we are weak?
I can think Of no military mind
that would advise this in a global
war.
1t is true that defense will
not win the war" but 1t Is also
true that one cannot make more
than one powerful offensive at
a time, and that the art of war
is to take that offensive where
one is strongest. So 1t is quite
reasonable that the American
chief of staff should be In Lon
don.
One thing is certain. The war
of nerves Is now in our hands
and not In Hitler's. The Ger
man propaganda gas becomes
lamentable.
Furthermore, the political fac
tors involved must be highly dis
tressing to any intelligent Ger
man. Hitler. having conquered
Europe. is forced to fight in the
interests Of his new lebensraum.
Europe shorn of her world in
fiuence Is no lebensraum but a
problem and liability. The
whole Of Europe Is like a capital
city for an enormous area else
where on the globe and no en-
pire-builder In his senses could
wish to become master of Europe
without Europe's non- European
assets.
Empire Falls TO Japan.
But Hitlers alliance with
Japan has so far resulted in win
ming an empire for Japan at the
cost of Europe. Hitler has Hol-
land, which shorn Of its over
seas resources Of raw materials is
an impoverished and overpopu-
lated little country. Japan has
the pri7e-the Dutch East In
dies. And Japan certainly didn't
take them to serve Germany.
Germany has conquered France
in order to hand Indo- China
to the Japanese. And the break
up Of the British Empire in the
Far East could give Germany
nothing but Observation-Disclosures
tainly no assets. Actually, Hit
Ter has added not an inch to Ger
many's lebensraum. So his war
has become, even inside Nazi
theology, profoundly senseless.

Davies pointed out, rs to change
their heating equipment from the
use Of oil to the use Of coal.
Coal is available, he said, If ordered
now. And the War Production
Board has ordered CRATES not sub
ject to priority regulations.
Many industrial fuel oil users have
converted their plants, Mr.. Davies
reported, and through their COM
bined efforts have accomplished an
annual saving Of 100000 barrels
Of oil.
Those unable to convert home
heating plants for coal use were
urged by Mr.. Davies to practice rigid
and thorough conservation, by
closing unused rooms, by using the
furnace only when necessary, by
cutting down night temperature, by
reducing the temperature setting for
hot-water heaters and by drawing
shades at night, to prevent heat
loss through the glass Of window
panes.
The fuel shortage will not be re-
stricted to the East, Mr.. Davies pre-
dicted, since the shortage here may
necessitate a drain on stock in the
Midwest and other areas.

Davies Says Supply
OF Fuel Oil May Not
Fill Minimum Needs
Rodio Forum Speaker
Advises HousehoIders
To Convert Units to Coal

There Is q strong likelihood that
there will be insufficient fuel oil
available next winter to meet even
minimum needs. Ralph K. Davies,
deputy petroleum co-ordinator for
war, declared last night In q radio
address.
Mr.. Davies was speaking on the
National Radio Forum, weekly fea-
ture arranged by The Star and
brodcast over WMAL and the Ma
tion-wide blue network.
He warned home owners to pre-
pare to face the shortage and ad-
vised those who find 1t practicable
to convert their oil-heating plants
to coal-burning furnaces.
It is possible that the picture may
change later in the year, Mr.. Davies
said, that the submarine menace
may be overcome to permit tankers
to operate more freely and that
other transport methods may supply
more fuel oil to the East than has
been anticipated, but 1t Is not likely.
Factory Fuel Scarce.
Hundreds of men braving the
threat Of sniping torpedoes, the
petroleum co-ordinator added, are
not risking their lives simply to
keep the home oil fires burning" but
rather have q military mission-the
supply Of fuel for the boilers Of war
production.
when that need has been met, !"
said Mr.. Davies, there Is not enough
left for normal civilian use. -
Tank cars, pipelines and barges,
Mr.. Davies told the radio audience,
have not yet caught up With the
amounts formerly delivered In the
East by tanker alone, 80 factories
are being fueled on . hand 70
mouth basis" Thus, the oil COM
panies have been unable to build up
any fuel oil supply for next winter
during the summer conths.
Let me put the problem grapn-
ically," said Mr.. Davies. II, on
New Year Eve Of this year. every
motor car, truck and bus were sud
denly to disappear-and thus re-
duce gasoline consumption to zero
this would not release enough tank
cars, barges and pipeline capacity
to supply the Eastern States with
the fuel oil, alone, that We shall
need during January and February"
Rigid Economy Urged.
Refusing directly to advise con-
version Of oil furnaces to coal, on
the ground that the situation might
conceivably change suddenly, Mr..
Davies did say, however:
IF I lived In house and could
convert to coal without unreason-
able expense, / would do So"
"The surest way for home con-
sumers to protect themselves against
any possible fuel oil scarcity" Mr..
