We're Too Nice

Among other reasons why the Germans and the Japanese are pushing us so hard is the fact that we're too nice. We think and try to act like geltnemen We re- fuse to recognize that war is a nasty, brutal business, which can not be set tied with one hand while we hold our fastidious nose with the other We meaning particularly the Anglo-Saxon peopleS-are not irretrievably soft. We are as courageous as any-probably more than most. We are as clever, as scientific, as logical, as imaginative as our enemies. Yet we let them shove us around
 The time has cone-Tobruk and Ma truth are proof, if there were no others for us to get tough, to forget Marquis of Queensbury rules to inculcate ourselves with the fighting code of the lumber camps The time has come for us to de- velop a good, ardent, let's-knock- their dirty-blocks-off hate against any man who wears an axis uniform or has to do with the axis war effort
 It seems to be agreed by on-the-spot observers that we probably had at one time the men and the material in North Africa with which to beat General Rom mel's armies. Good, competent correspon- dents who watched the campaign from the fighting lines say that we lost be- cause, instead of asking "Where will we hit Rommel next?" our leaders worried about "Where will Rommel strike us next?" Everything else being equal, wars are won by those who are in there slug ging every minute, taking the initiative, making the rules, barring no holds, miss ing no bets.
 Right now that is the Germans, the Russians, the Japs. The Russians are do- ing the most creditable job, on our side, because they are as tough and ruthless as their enemies. They're no braver than the British and Americans. They're no clev- erer. They're no better equipped They're no better led.
 All they have that we lack, thus far, is the will to win at any cost Every Russian fights with the feeling that upon him. in- dividually, falls the entire burden of the war. They kick, they gouge, they bite, they claw They recognize no foul zone. They fight the devil with fire, the axis with it's own callous, rat-in-a-corner tech nique. Before we shall win, we must for get that we are good sports. We must stop eyeing the net preparatory to jumping across to congratulate the victor. We must get in and slug, resolved that in the end only the victor shall remain alive-and he shall be us.

Wasteful Procrastination

While officials ponder rubber pro- gram, thousands of tires that could be saved are being ruined. Those are the tires which, recapped or retreaded today, would be good for perhaps another 10000 miles. If operated much longer without re- capping they will be beyond salvation, and their carcasses will be good for noth- ing but scrap.
 So long as Washington does nothing to rejuvenate such carcasses- and at the same time makes it clear that the owners cannot get new rubber for their cars this waste will go on. Every motorist, quite naturally, will run on what tire he possesses until they give out entirely.

Think in a Young Way

Deeds are what count - not words. But the War Production Boards action thus far gives life to the most promising words that have come out of Washing ton in weeks: "We are trying to think in young way on this,'' E. A. Locke, Jr., assistant to Donald Nelson, said the other day of Henry Kaiser's cargo plane pro- posal - vigorously, freshly, without prejudice.
 "From here on we are determined to provide the leadership in this war and to be the first with all that is new and better Then let the Hun follow after" ," Mr. Locke is just one man out of the thousands who must cooperate If those brave words are to be translated into Vic- tory. Perhaps he is just an optlmlst, pollyanna, prophet crying in wilder ness of inertia and traditionalism.
 "Half of America is doing things it never did before, and the other half IS waiting to do them," said Kaiser And Locke tossed back the flat answer: We will not keep that other half waiting long,"
 Nothing that has come out of this war effort is more encouraging, if you stop to consider it's implications, than the response of Locke, Nelson and Franklin Roosevelt to Henry Kaiser's dramatic proposal that we begin huge air frelgh- ter development. While still the die hards were explaining why "it can't be done," Nelson, after conference with the President, gave Kaiser a preliminary order for 125 seventy-ton planes, with the understanding that if the Pacific Coast wonder man makes good on those, there will be another 375 to follow.
 No less startling in it's young thinking was the simultaneous approval of the experimental building of 200-ton cargo plane - veritable monster of the air, yet within the bounds of what areonauti- cal engineers believe is entirely practic able today. Five hundred of the larger craft, said Locke, could service with bombs, ammunitions, spare parts, gaso- line and food the 50,000 pilots and me- chanics that would be needed to send 1000 big bombers over Berlin every day in the year.
 The air cargo idea may not prove feas- lble, on the scale now being discussed. But whatever the result of this experi- ment, or the next or the ones that may come after, we have begun to win this war if Washington really is behind MF. L,ocke'S promise: we are trying to think in young way - with full willingness to take considered risks"

reward in full. The yprayed to be seen of men. They enlarged the borders of their garments and made a great show of their ecclesiastical position. Jesus assured His liteners that the vain satisfaction these men got out of their personal display was the only reward they would ever receive. Across their lives would be written the word, "apeko", mean ing that when men praised them and revered them, they would have all they deserved to have.
 It is tragic to see men who are made for great things dissipating their efforts on little things. We commit blasphemy when, being made in the image of God, we waste our powers on trivial things or be- have as if we had been made in the image of the beast.
 We are too often satisfied with life,s little rewards. Men often trade happiness for the thrill of some low indulgence or kill their conscience that they may be rich.

Welcome, Mrs. Roosevelt

It is encouraging to learn that, after these many years, the First Lady has paused to think about Communism At very long last, Mrs. Roosevelt has repu- diated the idea that we can trust "an American group that, in turn, is con- trolled by Russia and Russia's interest"
 She makes it clear that one may lad mire Russia and the wonderful fight that Russia is putting up," and concede that Russia has a right to the kind of gov ernment that Russians desire to have," without allying ones self with the Con- munist Party in the United States Com ing from Mrs. Roosevelt this constitutes powerful support for those who keep urging that if we can lick Hitler at all, we can do it in the American way.

18-Year-Olds

It is difficult to understand the hesita- tion about calling 18 and 19-year-old boys into the Army. Such youngsters were called in the World War. They will be inducted in this. Why not face the facts and go ahead? Lads of his age make excellent soldiers. They are strong, alert, enthusiastic, mentally and phys ically flexible.
 They are not highly skilled at critical production tasks. They would return after the war still young enough to adapt themselves to the postwar economy. Unquestionably it is sad to think of such boys facing the tragedy of war and death before they have yet had time to live But it is sadder than the breaking up of homes, the widoWing of wives, the or planning of children, as older men go to war?

The Results Are In

At late hour last night Mayor Vincent A. Scully voiced the opinion that the Democrats had finished their family argument, the results were in, and the party would abide by them. Senator Michael " Blansfield prevailed against threat from organized labor, while, At torney John F. Tobin was realizing an ambition of long years standing nomi- nation to the State Senate. While actu- ally neither Mr. BlanSf1eld nor MT. Tobin has as yet been nominted, both will con- trol respective states of delegates when they assemble later on at the call of the State Central Committeeman.
 On the surface it might have seemed as if Senator Blansfeld had the harder battle to wage. As it turned out he didn't, for the margin of victory in his behalf was more than three to one out of a total vote cast of 2,700. The vote itself was, of course, ridiculously small. There are some ,000 registered Dem- ocrats in the 18th senatorial district and between 20 and 25 per cent of them voted. The proportion in the 18th district was slightly higher where 2,400 votes were recorded out of 8,900
 Whereas the CIO had endorsed both William Stanton, it's candidate in the 18th, and Attorney Tobin in the 18th, the former apparently enjoyed no ad- vantage by the same and it's doubtful if MT. Tobin did either. MT. Blansf1eld proved as popular as ever and it's easy enough to claim that his vote was result of personal favor as well as dis favor for CIO opposition. Yesterdays result may well have temporiZing effect on further political adventures by labor in this city.
 With the Tobin-Wallace affair it was purely personal matter, the latter no doubt suffering from his late entrance into the contest, as well as from the as- tuteness with which MT. Tobin picked his districts in which to concentrate his efforts. The final results, we hope, are for the benefit of the Democratic Party which is all that could be asked In the last analysis if the candidates endorsed measure up to specifications, everyone is satisfied.

 ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE!w
 Col. Doriot has a strong French accent and bright French eyes. He is ready to accept any challenge. Bring him a rubber raincoat, a steel safety razor, brass nozzle anything made of critical ma terials, and he will produce the same thing without the critical He lives and breathes the very reverse of that old slogan -"Beware of imitations.-Accept no substitutes"
 He spends 12 hours a day try ing to find substitutes for the things the Japanese have thieved in the Far East, and trying to find them at such a weight that the U. s. soldier, who carried TT pound pack on Bataan, will find himself on a par with the Jap soldier, whose jungle pack weighs only 26 pounds.
 If you are an enlisted man, look at the buttons on your Overc0at. Brass. Then look at the buttons on the OvercOat of the men just inducted last week. Plastic.
 The advantage is tWofold-sav- ing of brass, which can be used for shells; and a loss of lustre, which means that troops are not so easily spotted by reflection of light. Of course, there is also a loss of shine and with it a pos sible loss of morale. It's tough to have dull colored buttons, but tougher to know that they are made of formaldehyde, the same stuff that makes embalming fluid. .QMC proposed plastic buttons for the soldiers blouse as well as for his overcoat, but the gen. eral staff overruled them. Its a matter of morale" said the gen. eral staff. We've got to have little shine for the boys."
 "BRITISH BUTTONS"
 When the British sent samples of their equipment to Washington, to indicate requirements under Lend Lease, they included a lot Of things which Col. Doriot says they'll never get. One little item was intimately associated with this question of shiny buttons. In British soldiers kit is a so-called buttonboard, a brass plate with sits in it, which the soldier holds against his coat for pro- lection while polishing the brass buttons.
 Col. Doriot is eliminating both the brass buttons and the
 brass buttonbOard not to
 mention the rubber boots and
 the steel whistle and the regU- lation housewife. The boots can bc made of synthetic, the
 whistle of plastic, and the housewife" sewing kit at least CdH 1OTtSU tAt UTdSS CuAulOscI for thimbIes are made of plas- tics these days-in Col. DOriOt's army.
 Doriot disapproved vigorously of brass in any form except in shells. He disapproves of brass buttons, brass nozzles, brass zippers, and finally he disapproves of brass hats.
 Though this is his second war Doriot normally is civilian. He served as an artilleryman with the French army in the first World War. He was Frenchman then. He is still French to his fingertips, but an American citizen for many years. He has been chairman of the Board of the National Can Co, and a professor at the liar yard Business school. Many of the men who surround him in the barn he calls an office (Tempor-

He goes bustling Hoout his hot, barn. like office wearing suspenders and no coat - in violence to all regulations. The only thing this French war veteran can't find substitute for is time.
 The first thing we saw around his office was the wooden double cocker bed, to place the iron cots of the hate-to-get-up-in- -the-morn- ing days. The cot required 49.8 pounds of iron. The new bed has only springs of iron-8 pounds. And the double decking saves space too.

 COL. INSPIRES PATRIOTISM
 They work for Doriot with the loyalty of zealots. The shop opens at 7:30 a. m. in a part of town miles removed from respectable residential sections. Closing hour is supposed to be 4:15, and that's when they lower the flag, but few can get away so eraly.
 This flag ceremony is unique. Nothing else like it in Wash ington. All day the flag, on wooden pole in the middle of the floor, flutters ln a breeze ere ated by an electric fan perched on file case. Promptly at AIS the Star Spangled Banner blares frcm photograph and every body stands at attention or sal-. ute. The flag is sOlemnly low cred by an officer, and the colonel's secretary without paus- ing in her gum chewing, folds it to her breast.
 The colonel thought his force needed something to break the afternoon, and to make them think of their country. Actually -French-born though he is-Do- riot provides more American esprit de corps than a dozen flag ceremonies.
 All this is encouraging, but the true story must not omit the fact that the Quartermaster Corps is one thing and the army another. The QNdC proposes and the Army disposes. If WIPE asks QMC to find a way to save brass in a flexible nozzle for gasoline can, QMC will find the way. But it does not follow that the brass hat gentry will give up the brass. In fact, this is a case in point. QMC did invent just such a nozzle, but struck snag. The Army in- sists on having. what is is ac- customed to have.
 This conservation program rolls into impressive totals. By chang ing the specifications of field ranges, canteens, meat cans, cups and other items, QMC is saving approximately 5o,000,OO0 pounds of aluminium in a tWo-year period enough aluminium to supply B. 800 pursuit planes or 1,500 four engine bombers.

Our Copper Nickel

The Treasury must continue making our popular five-cent pieces, the nickel" out of four-ffths copper, because the price of silver is so high that silver "nickels" could be melted down and sold at profit.
 Since we are up against a critical shortage of copper and a troublesome shortage of nickel, the Treasury has stopped making ive-cent pieces until some new alloy can be found Silver is high because, by law, the Treasury is forced to pay at least 71.11 cents an ounce for all domestic offerings = and jewellers, to obtain silver, outbid the Treasury.
