American Australian strength
In that area is q military secret,
but it is believed to be adequate,
for defensive purposes at least.
But defensive force separated
from its base of supplies by
thousands of miles of water is at
a disadvantage against a very
large attacking force and can
receive endorsements only with
difficulty.
During August we produced at
least 5000 fighting planes of all
types, according to the state
ment by Wendell Willkie to news
papermen at Ankara. Accord
ing to the same ambassador at
large" we have at least two MIL
lion men under arms, and our
tank and gun factories are going
full blast. How much of this
material Is going to Russia,
Egypt. England and India and
how much we have to spare for
the South Pacific is a secret
which viii be revealed when the
extent of the Jap offensive in

The Great Game of Politics
InfIotion MuddIe as Much Due to injection
Of President os to Impotence of Congress

OF Agriculture who acquiesced in |
the drive of the farm lobby for
higher price legislation? And was
it not Mr.. Roosevelt who delayed !
opposition to the farm lobby pro-
posals until they could not be
blocked and who then signed the
bill containing them?
The answer to all these questions |
is Yes" In addition, it should be |
pointed out that it was the President |
who personally killed the Smith |
bills which would have stabilized |
wages and outlawed strikes many |
months ago. Now, Mr.. Roosevelt |
tells Congress to repeal the ITO per
cent parity bill. to put ceiling over
farm prices, and that he will stabi-
lize wages. 1t is not surprising that
the farm forces are insisting that the
wage ceiling should be established
in the same bill with the farm CELL
ing. They-and no one-can be sure
that what Mr. Roosevelt calls stabi-
lization will be real stabilization
at all.
Standard Was Raised.
One reason for feeling this way
are the unctuous statements of the
Messrs. Murray and Green, agree
ing to abide by the Presidents de-
HiS
Green are the type of labor leader
who talk loudly about their unselfish
patriotism but oppose every de-
cision in which they do not get
the best of 1t. Another reason is
recollection that, though the Presi-
dent last April declared "our
standard of living must be lowered"
that declaration was followed by
series Of decisions from his War
Labor Board which raised instead
of lowered that standard.
Considering these things, the re-
quest of the President that Con-
gress lower the ceiling on farm
prices but leave the wage ceiling
to him naturally arouses no en-
thusiasm among members of Con-
gress and is the cause of consider
able invidious comment. In brief,
the very bad situation that exists
today is as much due to the mac
ton and lack of leadership on
the part of Mr.. Roosevelt as to the
impotence and lack of character
on the part of Congress.
Neither is entitled to throw stones
at the other. However, there is no
nourishment In further dwelling on
what should or should not have
been done. The point now is that
there is no excuse for Congress
not promptly to carry out the
Presidents recommendations and
none for the President not to
measure fully up to his own words.

prices, regardless of competitors,
regardless of traditional financial
considerations. He means that
the credit of the whole Nation
is available for the production
of these necessities, and that the
market for these necessities is
assured in the people of the
Nation. He means that the whole
of the production is keyed to the
general welfare, the public ne
cessity. And this is the new
freedom that sets every scien-
tific mind thinking, every inven-
tor creating, every wheel turn
ing, every hand working.
And so, suddenly we discover,
in the time of our greatest crisis,
that we have lived our lives way
below our possibilities, poor when
We might have been rich, un-
employed when we might have
been working, stupid when we
might have been brilliant, stag
nant when we might have been

I don't know whether rightly

clude from his report: Never
back to the old freedom of enter
prise.
On to the new freedom of
enterprise. On to the new free
dom that puts this fantastic,
Promethean American produc7
ton to work for the welfare of
the whole American people, with

rest of the earth.
Billions for Reconstruction.
What we are doing now for
the purpose of creating instru-
ments of destruction we can do
tomorrow to create grandeur
the world has never known, pro-
viding we have the intelligence,
and the morality to recognize
that in the new world there is
enough for everybody, and that
the pressure groups who have
bound the hands of the Nation
for reasons of personal or group
profit are merely destroying
themselves. There is only one
great pressure-the pressure of
the whole social necessity.
The President said in his
speech that we must invest a
hundred billion dollars next
year for war purposes. Yes, we
must. But a nation that can in
vest a hundred billion dollars
in instruments of destruction in
1943 will be able to invest a
hundred billion dollars in instru-
ments of reconstruction in 1945,
and enjoy the fruits of that in
vestment instead of blowing them
sky-high.

tinents of matter"

that because it is the program ne
strongly urged on the President
long time before we entered the
war, but for which he was then
unable to get any administration
support. There is no trouble about
the program. The trouble Is that
after its presentation in April no
action followed the beautiful words.
Not one Of the seven steps outlined
was taken. For more than four
months the situation was allowed
to drift and the danger to grow.
Now, the President repeats his
warnings, represents the program,
lays the blame for inaction on Con-
gress. insists that it act in three
weeks, asserts that If it fails to act
he will. That is straight talk and
the people generally will support
the President if Congress lags and
he goes ahead. They will be dis
turbed neither by congressional re-
sentiment over his threat" nor by
the charge that the President Is a
Constitution-violating dictator.
The thing to be feared now is not
that Mr.. Roosevelt will act, but that
he won't. The danger is that he
may fail to follow through this time
just as he failed to follow through
last time. 1t is all very well for the
President to blame Congress, and
certainly that body has a poor rec
ord on this whole subject of price
regulation. But it has an alibi-
and not a bad one-in the argu-
ment that Congress cannot be ex-
pected to function without White
House leadership; that it had no
leadership In the right direction on
this issue of imitation, but a good
deal in the wrong direction.
"Vicious Circle" Promoted.
For example, the President now
upbraids Congress for failure
promptly to enact an adequate tax
law and for It's passage of a bill
which establishes farm prices at ITO
per cent above parity. Both of these
things--the failure to pass the tax
bill and the passage of the ITO per
cent parity bill-clash with the
Presidents program and tend to
promote that vicious circle" which
he describes.
But, whose fault was it? Is 1t not
the President and his Secretary of
Treasury who still stand in the way
of the sales tax, without which an
adequate tax bill is impossible2 And
was it not the Presidents Secretary

Dark clouds are beginning to

tions. 1t appears that we are

the Allied-held part Of New
Guinea, but also against the
Solomon Islands. for the pos
session of which we sacrificed
many lives and much war ma
terial.
The japanese are fully aware
that the conquests of these ter
ritories will be incomparably
costler and longer than the
campaign against the British and
Dutch possessions IN the West

of thousands of troops will not
deter them from trying to con-
quer these areas, II the high

U. s. Declared Foced With Major Jap Offensive
Against New Guinea and Solomon Islands

preliminary to other more ex-
tensive operations and Hirohito's
admirals must have sighed with
relief when they realized that
the whole thing was merely
local affair and that the Amer
lean forces were not pushing
farther. 1t seems probable that
Jap divisions hastily withdrawn
from China were sent TO the
South Pacific,
The Japanese Navy based on
the island of Truk made several
fein5s but avoided engaging
United States naval forces under
Vice Admiral Robert l.. Ghorm-
ley, although the latter must
have had some units out of ac-
ton. 1t is obvious that the JapS
were not taking any more risks
because they were preparing for
more important operations in
which risks would be more re-
munerative.
Adequate Defensive Strength.
The offensive in New Guinea
which brought the Japanese
forces within A miles of Port
Moresby, the main Australian
base on the island. was dis
counted at first as mere raiding
activity. Now it appears that
unless Gen. Douglas Macarthur
has sufficient forces to stop the
enemy soon we may lose that
vital harbor and New Guinea
may have to be written off as
stronghold for the United Ma
tions.
Meanwhile, there is more than
an even chance that within the
next few weeks our troops In
the Solomon Islands will have to
meet fierce Japanese attack.
