Congress Does Its Bit

The Seventy seventh Congress has
done its bit toward preparing the
country for total war, and its "bit"
has been very considerable indeed.
The purse strings of the Nation have
been loosened to permit the expendi-
ture of more than 5000 900 600, 900 for
the war program. Power in greater
measure than ever before in Amer
ica's history has been delegated to
the President. The economic life of
the people has been completely re-
vamped, through the enactment of
the price control law, through tax
alton and through the Selective
Service Act.
The life of the Seventy-seventh
Congress was divided into two dis
tinct phases. The first, preparation
for national defense and extension
of aid to the Allied powers fighting
the Axis. The second, actual par
ticipation in the war. During the
first phase, sharp divisions arose in
the Congress--with party lines dis
regarded frequently-over the for
eign policy of the administration.
Charges were made that the course
pursued was leading the country into
war. Bitter was the debate over the
Lease-Lend Act.
During the second phase. the Con-

by present concentration on scientific
studies. Probably there was a time
when college and university oppor-
tunities were luxuries to be accepted
casually and without much sense of
obligation to society at large. It is
freely confessed that numbers of
people have received diplomas in the
past without having earned them by
labor worthy OF the name. The time
for conspicuous waste" Of that
variety, however, has departed. Here
after the world will be a place in
which every individual must justify
his existence in terms of useful con-
tributions to the common welfare.
Civilization, when peace has been
accomplished, is to be benefaction
to the entirety of the human race.
Such is the meaning OF this war.
The Army and Navy program for
streamlining and accelerating tech
nical instruction is intended to have
immediate expedient application, but
It's impact should be felt construc-
lively for centuries yet to dawn.

Gasoline Crisis

The ban on gasoline sales to holders
OF A, B and c cards, except for
extreme emergencies, was caused by
what the President has described as
a hurry-up call for fuel from the
North African fighting front. AS was
to have been expected, the motoring
public has responded cheerfully to
this demand upon them for sacrifice,
and they will be willing to lay up
their cars for whatever period may
be necessary to supply the Army with
the fuel it needs for combat opera
tons.
Nevertheless, this incident is not
without its disturbing aspects. The
nature of the fuel emergency which
arose in North Africa has not been
disclosed, and presumably cannot be
disclosed for military reasons. But
it is perfectly evident that the au-
thorities In charge of civilian petro-
leum supplies were taken entirely by
surprise, and have had to resort to
the hastiest kind of stop-gap meas
ures to prevent a disastrous break
down OF transportation in the New
York area. If this means only that.
because OF an extraordinary military
situation, the sale of gasoline to civil
lans has to be curbed for few days
until supplies can be replenished, it
Is not serious matter. But If this
Is not the case-if we may expect a
succession of these hurry-up calls
from the military fronts-then it is
necessary that some provision be
made to protect essential civilian
gasoline supplies from the danger of
total exhaustion.
How this is to be done is a matter
to be worked out by the President,
Petroleum Administrator Ickes and
the military authorities. Obviously,
the best plan would be some arrange
ment whereby reasonable notice of
a forthcoming demand would be
given by the military authorities,
thus enabling Mr.. Ickes and his
associates to make advance prepara-
lions. But this, of course, would not
be feasible in the case of bona fide
emergency. In these circumstances,
1t would seem that the most to be
hoped for is an understanding that
truly essential civilian requirements
cannot be disregarded, even though
legitimate military needs must have
first call on the available resources.
There is point below which civilian
gasoline supplies cannot be reduced
without breaking down the war
effort, and In the long run a break
down on the domestic front might
be no less disastrous than a military
reverse. The best planning cannot
protect against any and all emer-
gencies, but If appropriate weight is
given to the factor of essential civil
ian needs in the overall program.
we can at least be assured that short
ages such as the one now confronting
the Eastern Seaboard can be held to
an absolute minimum

Talking 1t Over

1t Is gratifying to note that both
the ONCE of Defense Transportation
and the Office of Price Administra-
ton are working with the fuel oil
dealers In Washington in an effort
70 help them with the extraordinary
burdens imposed by the fuel oil
ratloning system and the first touch
OF really cold weather.
The ODT evidently has assured the
dealers that restrictions on mileage
will not penalize them in the de-
livery OF fuel. The OPA is making
an inspection at first hand of the
dealers problem, to be considered
In reaching an early decision regard
Ing further notifications of period
rationing and other requirements.
There is certain amount of COM
planning from every class of business
hit by war restrictions. That is only
natural. But it is not believed that
the complaints of the fuel oil dealers
have been actuated by merely selfish
considerations and they seem to have
ground for legitimate fears that the
whole retail delivery system will
break down unless notifications in
the original rationing plan are made.
Much OF the oil now in the house
holders tanks, for instance, was
stored before cold weather created a
sudden and urgent demand. Under
the period coupon system, already
modified to some extent, a great
many people may exhaust their sup
plies at the same time, creating
situation that would exceed the de-
livery capacity of the dealers. Some
OF this can be avoided by delivering
more oil than is permitted for one
period now.
Everybody realizes the seriousness
OF the oil shortage and the Inevitable
ity Of much personal inconvenience
and perhaps some real suffering. 1t
Is also realized that everything pos
sible has been done to move supplies.
Such unpreventables are not the
cause Of complaints over the fuel oil
rationing. And If there is a sincere
effort on the part Of the authorities
to examine the rationing program
through the eyes Of the dealers and
II there is willingness to make every
helpful change that can be made,
the authorities will have the dealers
and their customers working with
them to make the rationing program
q success

Emphasis on Technology

The announcement of the Govern
ment's program for the training of
approximately 100000 young men
along technical lines correlated to
the problem OF winning the war will
be received with satisfaction by the
majority OF those most directly con-
cerned In It, American boys long
ago anticipated the prevailing crisis,
realized that they would be wanted
for national service and made what
ever psychological adjustments were
requisite in preparation for conscrip-
ton. The call which now Is coming
to them carries no surprise, no shock,
which they did not expect. Rather,
the plan set forth by the Secretaries
of War and the Navy Thursday
represents just about what they had
hoped might be arranged.
All college students in medicine,
engineering and approved technical
subjects who are within two years of
graduation will be permitted to finish
their courses Perhaps those who
have completed only their prelimi-
nary studies in the same specialties
likewise may be granted continuance
at their work The need for men
skilled in science of every sort is
bound to increase during the next
decade. Boys whose minds are in
clined to technical endeavor certainly
should be encouraged to be faithful
to their bent. The whole purpose OF
the program is to speed up the
education Of youthful citizens who,
whether in the Army or the Navy,
can contribute efficiently to the busi-
ness of achieving victory over
enemies who admittedly are cunning
and clever in the tactics OF agrees
sion. Imperatively, then, the en-
phasis must be on practically. There
will be no time, no facilities for the
mere embroidery Of learning.
Mr.. Stimson bravAy faced the in
evitable question regarding the de
struction" Of so-called liberal educa-
ton" I'm America, conceding that the
Army plan temporarily will have a
deleterious influence in that respect
$50 far as the able-bodied men OF
college age are concerned" But he
denied that there is any authentic
danger to the cultural standards OF
the country-save that OF losing the
war. in which event there would be
no hope for anything idealistic.
Such an attitude undoubtedly Is
correct. The Secretary Of War, had
he wished, might have argued with
reason that the Nation will be bene-
Ated through an illimitable future
