British Gun Factory
Is Shipped Piecemea|
To United States
Stettinius DiscIoses
Tronsfer as ExompIe
Of Two-Woy Leose-Lend
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "a gun
factory which six months ago stood
in a bomb SCARED city in England
has been dismantled and shipped
piece by piece to the United States,
Edward r. Stettinius, jr, lease-lend
administrator, disclosed today.
Mr.. Stettinius, in an article in the
new issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, cited the transfer to show that
lease-lend Is mo longer one-way
street" directly aiding only United
States Allies.
'It was easier and faster to ship
the factory than to ship the guns"
he wrote. 1--WE paid nothing for this
arsenal. The British consider them
selves amply repaid by the damage
these guns will infiict on the Ger
mans and Japanese In the hands of
our soldiers
The British have also sent "sev-
eral thousand" barrage balloons to
protect vital spots along our coasts"
and from England and other Allied
nations the Government has re-
ceived guns and tools, military and
scientific information - anything
which they can spare and we are in
better spot to use than they are"
the article said.
Mr.. Stettinius added. however,
that I'VE are still paying for many of
the things We get" from United ma
tions partners, and explained:
"' - 1t is a vital part OF our policy
to prevent the war from destroying
our Allies finances. -" Our Allies
have practically exhausted their
dollar reserves. The only way they
can get dollars to pay for necessities
not covered by lease lend is by
selling things to U.S."
"Dr. Goebbels was confident that
when the British dollar balances
ran out In the spring OF 1s41 the
war would be practically over" he
wrote. He told the German generals
that 'plutocratic' Americans would
never supply arms to Britain unless
we saw cash on the barrel head
Well, the doctor was wrong"
Mr. Stettinius commented that
lease lend can be stepping stone
toward freer system of world
trade" thus helping to establish
permanent peace.
! We can produce more of every-
thing Tor every one" he said, "and
we should learn how to cooperate
In distributing It,"

tournament keep him pretty
busy, he still managed to beat
my partner, Miss Elsie T. Mat
son of Ithaca, and myself, for the
mixed pair championship this
year. Curran won the event with
Mrs. Joseph II. Kalmbacher, also
Of Binghamton. They were the
only pair in the room to arrive
at six diamonds on the hand
shown today.
Curran, sitting South, laid the
foundation for the slam bid by
showing the diamonds at once on
the second round, instead of re-
bidding the hearts, as most South
players did. Mrs. Kalmbacher
helped by confirming the dia-
monds and by rebidding four
clubs over the heart rebid.
The entire auction looks nat
ural, yet the other pairs stopped
al four hearts or five diamonds.
The slam bid was made easily.

STUFF

From somewhere in Australia
comes word that our soldiers there have
coined q new catch phrose-"Hot stuff
coming" - which means something
like MAKE woy Let me through"
We hate to look down q long nose
on the youngsters who now cover the
fighting fronts. In the interest of histor-
icoI accuracy, however, it should be
noted that "Hot stuff coming through"
Identical in purport with the current
Phrose-wos as common in World War
J as "okoy' is today. It meant anything
from "Move over and give me room in
thot crap game" to "Hiyo, Toots"

calling him by a higher rank
than he is entitled to?
3. At dinner party at which
there are both civilians and Ar
my officers, could a civilian be
seated in the guest of honor S
place?

MACARTHUR ON WAR;" edit
ed by Frank c. WaldrOp (Du-
ell, Sloan & PearCe: So.

People will never get enough
Of Macarthur the hero, but it
might be just as we'll for them if
they could for a time change
their perspective, and take a
look at Macarthur the prophet
and planner. The General is ev-
cry bit as good planer as he is
hero, and fortunately he has it
all down in black and white,
duly stamped and sealed by the
War Department. He almost got
himself cashiered before the job
was done, too.
Macarthur father was a gen.
eral. Macarthur graduated from
West Point at the top of his class.
He went into the engineers,
where the West Point top crust
habitually finds assignment. He
served almost everywhere, as
the list. in Frank c. Waldrop's
Macarthur on War" shows. He
has paragraph or so of hon
orary degrees and another huge
list of decorations for valor and
such like. He was aide to his
father and other dignitaries; he
also went through the mud and
over the top in the first World
War. He made over the Philip
pine Army with what success the
world knows. He made speeches,
too-good ones.
But all this is of small impor-
lance. Mr.. Waldrop shows, com
pared to what Macarthur did
while Chief of Staff from 1881
to 1885. For then Macarthur did
a job of prophecy; he saw the
form of the war to come. Having
seen, he laid plans for it. Then
he asked to be retired.
II was not quite that simple
he also withstood snipers. One
of these Mr.. Waldrop names as
Representative Ross Collins,
member and later chairman of
the House military appropria-
tons committee. Put every man
in overalls," Mr.. Collins said on
one historic occasion, land you'll
have lot better defense than if
he has stripes on his pants"
Yet Macarthur / n d u trial
mobilization plan was formed,
and his general mobilization of
manpower planned. His four-ar-
my defense system, his independ-
ent striking air arm under the
chief of staff, his armored force
school at Fort Knox are some
more of his innovations. The list
could be made longer, but the
point of Mr.. Waldrop's book will
not be sharpened by making a
catalogue. 1t is that Macarthur
is one man with vision and CUTS
whose service did not come too
late. The Generals own words
are in this book.

How much fact and how

not in Washington.

THE AIR FRONT

KOld IS hQrQly on OOequOte WOrO
for the huge Raj operation against
Cologne. In everything except invest
ment Of the city the British bombers
appear to have obtained larger mill
tory results than the Nozis have by
their eight-months siege Of Leninerod.
The British estimate that they dropped
four to six times the weight of expIo-
sives thot fell on Coventry or Plymouth.
Some Of the bombs we're two-tonners,
which are supposed to level everything
within 100 yards.
Christians cannot exuIt over this
devastation. But if the German people
learn in this way that aggression does
not poY lives may be saved and en-
shaved peoples freed by sharp and
impressive blows rather than small
and drown-out attacks. The evidence
that the British can, even without
American planes, mount on air Of
fensiVe on this scale, and the prospect
that the blows will be repeated and in
creased, must arouse questions which
no Nozi propaganda can answer and
no censorship stop.
Mounting air power in Britain is
pushing back the air frontier The
Germans do not now enjoy such an i'd
vantage in bombing Britain os they did
q year ago, for their toke-off fields in
France ore by no means sofe. More
than once British fighters have cought
Nozi bonnbers when landing. The Brit
ish still have farther to go but the Ger
mans have q much larger dir front to
defend They can be attacked from
Spain to Norway. The RAF is tying up
hundreds Of thousonds-one estimate
runs above 100000 - Nozs in
ground crews, onti-oircroft and other
defense units along the dir front.
The Cologne attack also has q very
direct bearing on q second front. Thot
city is not only the third largest in
Germany and q center Of war produc-
ton; it is O transport bottIeneck. Sit
ting on the Rhine at the main rail
crossing for France and Belgium, its de-
struction would impose q most effec-
tive check on efforts to bring quick
Germon reinforcenents to any front
the Allies might open on the English
Channel.
If an invasion Of France is con-
temploted soon, q bombing borroge
against all lines Of communication
with Germany will be q most necessary
preparation. Some light on what is
coming may be afforded by the de-
pattern Of Raj operations.
More important than ships to carry an
invasion army is the blocking Of lines
by which the Nozis move forces west.
A further object Of the Allies will
be the destruction Of German oirfieIds
and forces in France. When that op-
Grafton is reported on anything like
the Cologne scale, the dir front -
which must Precede the second land
front-wiIl be about reody-From the

PEACE DETECTIVES

dence Of our increasing optimism, t0o'
almost everybody is talking again
about the kind Of peace we should
make after this war.
Up to the moment President Roose-
Welt sioned the Leose-Lend Act putting
this country into the war in foct though
not in name, q majority Of Americans
we're asking bIuntIy why we shoId fight
-whot there was in the conflict for US.
Their question wos sensible, and
neither provincial nor selfish. They
we're not inqurng, most OF them,
whether we should demand money or
territory or special privilege for our
selves. All they wanted to know was
what reason we should hove-if we
financed another World War and sent
our best youth to die on foreign battle
fields-to suppose that q victory would
be any more substantive and secure
in the l94Os than was the "PeoVe Of
Versailles
Once the die was cast, for the
moment such questions became oco-
denic. We we're at war, then. Like it or
not, it was our task to beat the bejeeb
ers out Of Hitler and Mussolini and
Hirohito, and then make the best terms
we could to safeguard our children and
our chIdren's children.
We haven't beaten the axis yet A
cold-bIooded boIance-sheet reckoning
would show us badly in the red. But we
have stopped the seemingly invincibIe
Nozi war machine, slowed or stopped
the little brown heather, and arrived
at q point where we can see daylight
ahead.
Naturally, then, we recall the At
Iontic Charter which is our only real
sennblonce Of specific internal post
war objective, and we begin to ask how
the four freedoms actually can be
made effective.
What about Germany Shall we
limit criminal blame to Hitler and q few
topnotch Nozis, or shall we consider
that only q mad dog race would have
played the brutal game as Germany
hos? Shall we seek to eliminate friction
by giving her O more generous place in
the international sun, or destroy her as
world power and confine her like q
nnonioc2
What about oil the unstable un-
economic, pickering little nations
carried over from World War or set
up thereafter? ShoII we restore them by
duress, or force upon them q sensible
economic regrouping that will sotsfy
none OF their peopIes2
Are we prepared TO insist that the
occidental notions shuII concede the
four freedoms to China, which hos
done swell job on our behalf? To In
dIo, which we want freed Just now,
when her help would be useful
These specific questions merely
outline and hiehIieht the ronstrous
problem which everybody, from Presi-
dent Roosevelt down to youngsters in
high school, ore bordering groveIy
