LAVAL:
And POuyer

Pierre Laval had leaped into the
saddle of the Vichy government, and
the immediate aftermath had been
the recall of Ambassador Leahy and
an attitude of watchful waiting on
the part of Washington to see which
way the cat would jump.
While it was considered a prob
ability that the eventual outcome
would be the recognition Of the
DeGaulle movement as the real
French government, this action
was not Immediately taken.
LavaPs first act in forming his
government was to put IS of his
closest friends into a cabinet of 81
members. He did submit the names
to Marshal Petain, and received the
aged generals approval, but this
had been considered a mere matter
Of course, as the feeling was that
Petain had actually laid down the
reins of government and was simply
rubber stamp.
Laval split the civil and military
divisions of government, abolished
the national defense ministry, and
kept three all-important posts for
himself, the ministries of foreign af-
fairs, interior and information-the
latter, that is to say, propaganda.
DeGaulle's reaction came from
London, where he broadcast in
French to his people calling on them
to revolt, saying "the duty of each
one is to fight relentlessly against
both the enemy and the men of
Vichy, to drive them out and sabo-
tage their orders"
Secretary Hull had returned to
Washington, and pushed prepare
tons in a diplomatic way to frus-
trate the Vichy coup against the
Western hemisphere.
He had had serious breakdown,
and had been convalescing in Flor
ida, but cut short his convalescence
to return to the capital because of
the critical turn in U. S.-Vichy af-
fairs.

RUSSIA:
Holds the Ball

The Red army, fighting back Ger
many's spring offensive and turning
the tables on the Nazis, were
still carrying the ball."
There was no question but that
they were being vastly aided by
their allies, England and the United
States, in two ways-by the sending
Of large quantities Of vital supplies,
and by the tremendous nonstop
Royal Air force bombings of Ger
many and occupied France.
These latter were being carried
out daily and nightly, by average
forces of several hundred bombers
and fighters, the high water mark
being in excess of 400 planes.
And these were no baby bombers
either, but huge, four-motored ships,
some Of them American, most of
them British built, which were car
rying thousands of tons of bombs to
the places where they would do the
most good.
S11S 1dAO, IAIS oI1CIS1 GStuIldL6O,
cut off the supplies that would have
kept five divisions in the field.
Despite this great aid, too much
credit could not be given the Rus
SLAMS for the magnificent fight they
were putting up.
Berlin had been admitting break
throughs, and from the Murmansk
end OF the 2,000-mile battle line down
to the Crimea, success after sue
cess was reported.
There had been a serious break
Of the German line near the Kare-
liam isthmus, point heretofore not
mentioned in Moscow dispatches.
Russian accomplishments were
being honored in London on a wide
scale, and posters in the British
city began to appear Help the Rus
SLAMS more-let's start fighting on
the western front"

McNut Heads Nine Man Commission to Conscrpt T. Manpower
BY Edward C. Wayne

words "army corps"-because q
corps at the very least was two
divisions 100000 mem, and usually
meant, in wartime, three to four
divisions 15O,O00 to 100000 mem.
Now, from previous reports Of
Commando raids, Americans had
gotten the idea that the whole Com
mando group of Britain might be
reckoned in a very few thousand,
including the numbers being used on
the European continent and in At
RIGA as well.
This was because the raids, wide
ly spaced, seemed to be participated
in by only a few hundred men at
time. Losses were from ones and
twos to dozens, giving the idea Of
small forces.
That Marshall should give out an
interview before leaving for the
United States that one army corps
was to be so used was thrilling be-
cause it was not believed that we
had more than two divisions in Ire
land altogether, and this seemed to
indicate that our force in Ireland
was much more extensive.
Marshalls remarks had been
fighting remarks, however, and
whether the numbers were right or
wrong, his statement that ''the time
has come for us to fight the enemy
on land, on the sea and in the air.

ATJSTR AIIA:
Japs Weaker

The long-awaited and expected in
vasion move by the Japs against
Australia seemed less and less like
ly to come as fuller reports came
in Of American-Aussie air successes
and the power of the offensive
movement from the continent "down
under" gained momentum.
Despite Jap bombings Of Port
Moresby, the news was dominated
by allied raids on Timor, New Brit
ain and New Guinea, with dire re-
suits, and it seemed that we had
grabbed off air supremacy and the
initiative in that part of the Pacific.
Reports of American strength in
Australia, which had come to this
country as being considerable"

MOBILIZATION:
OF MdnpOWer

On the home front President
Roosevelt had moved to mobilize the
entire manpoWer of the nation, plac
ing Paul V. McNutt in charge of the
commission which would be charged
with this duty.
1t was given all-embracing pow
ers, and not only to draft and place
men, but women into industry which
would produce the goods needed to
win the war.
The commission of nine members
was to include WPB chief Donald
Nelson, also Representatives from
the war, navy, agriculture and Ia
Dor departments, the selective serv-
ice system, civil service and a
new labor section of the WPB.
At the time when the older men
were to register, the As to 81 group,
and at time when some millions
of potential selectees were listed in
classes not available for military
service, it was seen as a distinct
probability that the McNutt commits
sion would begin to draw on this
reservoir of manpower.
At the same time Sidney Hillman,
labor chief of WPB, and former part
ner with General Knudsen in the
former war production setup, was
called into the White House inner
circles as a special adviser to the
President on labor matters.
It had been thought that Hillman
was on his way out. Suddenly the
nation discovered that he was not
on the way out but in.

THE TIDE:
Nav Be Turning

The days were filed with exciting
news of. the Tokyo bombing type,
and many saw in the dispatches
from all American fronts turn in
the tide of the war.
The 1ong-range and successful
bombing of the Philippines had
started it, and then the bombing of
Tokyo-and at the same time Gen
eral Marshall, in London with Har-
ry Hopkins, thrilled the world with
the report that at least a whole army
corps would take part in British
Commando raids.
Many believed that this was such
good news it could not be believed,
but that writer's had misused the
