sidered as a deductible business ex-
pense. Fire insurance premiums
are deductible, but expense neces-
sary to insure the lives OF key
executives or valuable employees is
not deductible. No cash value &C
crues in term policies and after a
company has paid term insurance
premiums for 10 years or so and
the executive doesn't die, the
money represents complete loss
except for the annual protection.
Just why the Treasury doesn't per-
init at least deductions for term
insurance as a necessary business
expense is inexplicable.
AS for debt-ridden corporations,
the Treasury has offered no plan
as vet, but Senators are preparing
to draft one. Heavy taxation is a
desirable and necessary step at this
time but if our system of competi-
ton is to be retained, marginal
businesses must be permitted to
survive or at least to maintain their
credit standing by being allowed to
use their profits to pay their debts
and commitments before taxes
apply.

Second Front Is Imminent,
Russians in London Say

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 25.-The Soviet
Embassy mentioned the imminence
of a second Allied front in Europe
twice today in articles in praise Of
the United States and Britain in its
publication, Soviet War News.
The article lauding the United
States said:
Five years ago Americans Missed
Fascism in their cinemas. Today
they express their hatred more elc-
quently-by producing arms at un-
precedented speed. by their deter
mination to open second front IN
Europe In 1912"
Praising Britain, another article
declared:
THE raids on the Ruhr and
Cologne we're mere preparation, of
course. Soon smoke from the fun
nels of transports will drit toward
the French shores. Already French
children gaze hopefully across the
misty sea whispering, What sort of
ship is that on the horizon?' The
name of that ship is second front. ="

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack Of Massachusetts, has
no intention of running for the
Senate next fall against Senator
Lodge, Republican, of Massachu-
sets. While Mr.. Mccormack has
in no sense ever been q candi-
date for the senatorial nominal
ton, many of his friends and
admirers have hoped that he
would enter the lists.
Whatever Mr.. Mccormack
personal ambitions may be, it is
clear that he does not propose
to eliminate himself from his
present important House post.
He has always been a strong
supporter of President Roosevelt
and of his policies. In the House
he has been peculiarly successful
as leader of the administration
forces whena measures relating
to national defense and to the
prosecution Of the war were up
for passage. Since the attack on
Pearl HarbOr, the House has
worked in entire harmony on war
measures. In this Mr.. McCor-
mack has had the cooperation
of Minority Leader Martin. also
of Massachusetts,. 1t Is entirely
true, however, that the unanim-
ity with which the House has
acted on war measures presents
a very different picture from
some of the Congresses in past
wars. Much Of the credit must
60 to the leadership Of Mr.. Nc
Cormack.
Best Service in House.
The Importance Of leadership
in the House to any administra-
ton is Immediately apparent. 1t
is not only essential that the ma
jority leader be able to deal ef-
fectively with the House men,
bership, but also that he be
Fundamentally loyal to the Pres
ident.. With the prospect of a
long continuing war, 1t is ap-
parent that Mr. Mccormack can
render his best service to the
country in the House, as leader,
rather than as Junior Senator.
Politically speaking. the DEM
ocrats are anxious to defeat Sem
ator Lodge Many of them feel
that Mr.. Mccormack could take
the measure of Mr.. Lodge in the
coming election. Indeed, they
believe he would be the strongest
candidate they could put for
ward. In peace time, it might be
expected that Mr.. Mccormack
would fall in with their views.
These, however, are not ordinary
times, and Mr.. Mccormack un-
doubtedly will continue his serv-
ice in the House.
Up to date, there has been no
important Democratic figure ad-
vanced as candidate against
Senator Lodge. Democratic lead
ers from the State say, however,
there is no intention of letting
the election 60 by default to Mr..
Lodge. When the proper time
Evening star., 1942-06-25
War Unity Declared Needed
Maj. Eliot Proposes Roosevelt to Head
Supreme Council to Coordinate PIuns

thorlty to do Its job smoothly and
efficiently and at the same time pre-
serve that final responsibility which
governments must retain in the in
terests Of the people they serve.
Mr.. Churchills presence in Wash
ington again from time to time
would certainly be easier to arrange
than that of either Mr.. Stain or
the Generalissimo. Nevertheless, it
would be exceedingly advantageous
II the latter two could come for one
grand inter-Allied meeting. There
after they might be adequately rep
resented by such eminent political
personages as, respectively, Mr.. Mo-
lotov and DR.. Soong. When Mr..
Churchill could not be present, he
might be represented by Capt. Lyt-
Teton or Sir Stafford Cripps. The
same principle would apply to rep
resentation for the other United
Nations.
SaliS SltuatlOn Orlm.
A system of liaison officers, both
political and military, should be ar
ranged so that the closest contact
might be maintained between the
supreme war council and the Allied
capitals. The greatest difficulty is
distance, but the airplane goes far
toward overcoming that.
1t Is recognized that such q plan,
or any plan involving the delegation
Of authority and responsibility by a
government to any agency or rep
resentauve outside the country will
encounter great difficulties and
much opposition. Historically, such
delegation OF authority in wars OF
coalition has been brought about
only under the pressure Of urgent
necessity-a military necessity suf-
ficient to overcome that natural op-
position.
This is not a proposal to give the
conduct of the war into the hands
OF an inter-Allied committee. AS I
have said, war cannot be success
fully conducted by committee, for
the essence of the committee
method is compromise.
Rather, the proposed supreme war
council would provide means by
which the interests Of the several
Allies might be brought together at
a single council table, and decisions
taken in the light of those interests
and in the spirit Of coalition-the
subordination of purely selfish and
local aims to the common good.
As chairman of such a council,
Mr. Roosevelt would have far bet
ter opportunity than he has now to
exercise those qualities of personal
leadership which he possesses in
such rich measure.
This is said in no disparagement
Of Mr.. Churchill, Mr.. Stain or the
Chinese generalissimo. We are con-
strained in this matter by inexorable
facts. Merely from the geographical
and practical point of view, granting
the need for a supreme war coun-
Gil, 1t is obvious that 1t must be
located at one Of the capitals Of the
four principal Allies.
London Too Exposed.
The military position of London
Is too exposed. and Moscow and
Chungking are too remote in point
of time and distance. Washington
is the only possible choice, and
therefore the job of immediate and
personal leadership in the Supreme
War Council must fall naturally to
Evening star., 1942-06-25

the President of the United States
He will be there all the time, the
others only internationally or by
deputy.
In any case a decisive influence,
in increasing measure, will be exer-
cised on the various fronts of the
war by decisions which Mr.. Roose-
welt, as President of the United
States, must make as to the alloca-
ton of American war material, ship
ping and fighting forces. If these
decisions can be taken in close and
daily consultation with leaders Of
the other nations concerned. a spirit
Of mutual confidence and solidarity
will inevitably grow-and be en-
