full thinkers, is questioned by more
experienced observers. Laval is
a shrewd politician and Is IN
likely to fail into any trap devised
by the aged marshal. He has
thrown in his lot completely and
unreservedly with the Nazis.
Unlike Admiral Darlan, who is
under suspicion In certain Ger
man quarters, especially those
around Hitler's key man in
France, Otto Abetz, Laval has the
full confidence and cooperation
Of the Germans. His conversa-
tions with Marshal Petain are
said to have been dictated by
Berlin ami the idea of Laval once
more entering the French cabinet
is believed to have emanated from
the German capital as prepara-
ton for q demand that France
whole-heartedly join the Axis
and the new order" in Europe.
These observers believe that
the day the French chief of state
asks Laval to resume his old seat
in the Vichy cabinet complete
cooperation between France and
the Axis will be fact.

officials now that he has reit-
Grated his agowals of friendship
toward the United States. But
the same feelings do not exist
among the other officers Of his
cabinet.
Jockeying For Position.
Admiral Darlan, vice premier at
Vichy, might be friendly toward
this country If we were not tied
UP with Great Britain. Every
one around the aged mashal Is
jockeying for position and the
fact that the former vice premier,
Pierre Laval, has been brought
into the picture recently adds to
the confusion.
In some quarters it is said that
Marshal Petain has agreed to
discuss with Laval the possibility
OF his re-entering the cabinet In
order to turn Admiral Darlan
against yielding the French feet
to the Nazis. Admiral Darlan is
preoccupied with his own position
and Marshal Petain is reported to
have assured him that he is in
line to succeed him as the head Of
state when he dies.
But Admiral Darlan also has
played Berlin's game ever since
he was elevated to the position
OF No. 2 man In unoccupied
France. Laval is entitled to sue
ceed Marshal Petain, since this
was provided in writing when the
marshal became chief Of the new
French state. The personal ri
valry between Admiral Darlan
and Laval has been great and has
increased in recent months. Out
OF that rivalry Marshal Petain
hopes to obtain stronger support
from Admiral Darlan in pursuing
his present policy of procrastina-
ton.
Laval Is Shrewd.

for the trees. The third is that
there is an atmosphere of strain
over every Office, a hectic, almost
frantic BUSINESS that is depress-
ing and enervating. And another
is that whenever 7 go to Wash
ington I get mad because some
one tells me that the country is
too complacent; some one asks
anxiouSly whether the morale Of
the country is strong enough.
I don't have any such feeling
If I go to an airplane factory.
There I see quiet men in their
shirt sleeves. doing perfectly gi-
gantic things without any atmos-
phere of strain whatsoever. The
reason Is that these men have
made a decision about a specific
piece of work, that however
daring its scope, it Is within the
compass of their known abilities;
that the men who are planning,
managing, and working on that
Job understand it. and If they
have never before done exactly
this particular Job Of work, it Is
related to what they have been
doing all their lives; that some
where in every factory there is
authority - authority for the
carrying through Of the whole
project and responsibility for the
accomplishment of its various
parts, and so men work together,
and the whole assembly line
functions with quiet steadiness
ard strength.
Now compare this with Wash
ington. The free agencies are
increasing like guinea pigs. They
have been set up without know
ing exactly what they were set
up for. 1t would appear that
the main reason for setting up
many of these agencies was to
take the job away from some
body else who ought to have been
doing it, but didn't seem able to.
Instead Of recognizing the cab
met, and fixing responsibility In
the cabinet, hundred supple
mentary cabinets have been set
up. Instead of fixing few au-
thorities, scores of agencies are
warning with each other in q
jungle Of red tape. SO each Of
them is at cross purposes inside
itself, and the major purpose has
become minor. The major pur-
pose is to accomplish a task
which will contribute to winning
the war, but the minor purpose,
of maintaining and perpetuating
itself, has taken precedence over
this major aim, and each is
wearing itself out trying to prove

line will be included in the ship
ments, regardless Of how much
French authorities contend they
are peeded.
The argument put forward by
Vichy in asking for oil and gas
oline Is that farmers in Morocco,
Algeria and Tunisia have been
educated to use tractors and can
not change back to mules and
camels-the ancient means Of
tilling the soil-because few draft
animals are available.
Fear Nazi Seizure.
Vichy requested that oil and
gasoline be included in the first
consignments, lest there be a
crop failure in North Africa this
fall, with disastrous results for
the population Of European
France itself. Vichy's request was
turned down, however, because,
in spite Of strict control by Amer
lean consular agents, Red Cross
workers and other relief workers,
there can be no definite assur-
ance that this vital material will
not pass into the hands Of the
NaZis and Italians.
The policy Of sending supplies
to France will be on a day-to-day
basis. This is necessary, since the
entire Vichy policy in regard to
the Axis and the new order" in
Europe Is on such basis. At
present, since the Nazis and
Fascists have not started an Of
fensive either against the British
in the Mediterranean or against
the Russians. the Vichy govern
ment can still play friends with
the United States. What the at
titude of that shaky government
toward the United States may be
when the Axis begins an offen-
sive against the Allies is unpre-
dictable. Trained observers MAIN
tain, however, that the Vichy
government, regardless of what
the French people feel, will play
Berlin's tune as soon as Hitler
decides to force the issue.
Marshal Petain may be well dis
posed toward the United States.
There seems to be little doubt Of

confidence than the Democrats,
though 1t is difficult to see why.
True, the latter are disturbed over
manifestations of popular feeling
against the administration for fall
ure to deal firmly with the labor
situation; for yielding to the farm
lobby; for the boondoggling absurdi-
ties of the o. C. D.; for the general
waste, confusion and ineff1ciency OF
the war effort.
The causes Of irritation are numer-
GUS enough to make formidable
total and create real apprehension
on the Democratic side. This was
attested last week by declarations
against the 4o-hour week from such
consistent supporters Of the Presi-
dent as Speaker Rayburn and Sena-
tor Pepper of Florida on the other
side. However, clear as the Demo-
cratic weaknesses are, the Repubh-
cans are not equipped to take full
advantage Of them. On the con-
trary, they are handicapped in a
number Of ways.
Wouldn't Help War Effort.
The suggestion that the election
be called of was abandoned long
ago as foolish, futile. impractical
and not in the national interests. 1t
was neither made nor taken sert-
ously except by the unthinking and
the Republicans cannot be justly
charged with unpatriotic partisan
ship by nominating candidates in
the usual way. They have no right
to do otherwise. To abandon the
custom would be q negation Of the
Democratic process and a with
drawal from a free people Of one Of
the rights they are fighting to pre-
serve. Nor would it in any way
strengthen us against the enemy.
This is neither a Democratic war
nor a New Deal war. Millions OF
Republicans are in the armed forces
and defense plants. Millions Of
them are buying Defense bonds and
stamps and paying heavy taxes to
support the Government. Millions
Of them supported the Presidents
foreign policy before Pearl Harbor,
and 1t is accurate to say that dissent
from Mr.. Roosevelt's domestic poll
cies comes even more strongly from
Democrats than from Republicans.
Nevertheless, the latter are not in
favorable position. In the first

place, they have no party record
upon which to appeal to the country.
Before the war most Republicans in
Congress tended strongly toward
the isolation attitude. Only a few,
like Representative Wadsworth Of
New York and Senator Austin of
Vermont, were enlightened enough
to support the Presidents foreign
policy in Congress as Mr.. Willkie was
doing outside.
True, since Pearl Harbor, Repub-
licans in Congress, including most
isolationists, have supported Mr..
Roosevelt as heartily and demon
strated their desire for national
unity as convincingly as the Demo-
Gratis. They have responded to every
presidential request for money and
power with enthusiasm equal to that
Of his own party. They have not
Jagged behind the Democrats In
support Of any war measure.
oHOW LACK OF flgOI.
Where they have fallen short Is
in lack OF yigor and intelligence to-
ward the governmental policies
which not only could be opposed
without damage to the war effort,
but to which opposition was amply
justified on patriotic grounds.
The majority Of Republicans in
Congress have shown the same dis
position to yield to the organized
labor and farm lobbies as has the
administration. They have flinched
from modification of the 40-hour-a-
week law. They voted to exempt
the farmers from any form of price
control. With few exceptions they
have exhibited no zeal for the Byrd
economy taxation policy and they
connived IN the -pensioning vote.
Deliberate Distortion.
BY even approximate party solidity
In standing against administration
waste and incompetency and in op-
posing administration weakness in
dealing with the farm and labor is
sues the Republicans could have
strengthened themselves and
strengthened the Nation, too. They
have not measured up to the oppor-
tunity and II the gains they antici-
pate in November materialize it will
not be because Of the party record
but because Of public resentment
against the sitting Democrats. DEM
ocratic fears are wholly based on
this resentment.
None OF these things, however,
justifles the plea which the New
Deal political strategists are be-
ginning to use-to wit, that the
election of Republicans would give
aid to the enemy and be a repudia-
tion Of the President. That Is nom
sense. 1t Is worse than that-it Is q
deliberate distortion OF patriotism
for political purpose.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Roosevelt will
not lend himself to that. 1t is also
hoped that he does not carry out
his idea Of making an inspection"
tour OF the country next summer.
There was never a greater necessity
for American voters to study the
records and qualities of the can
didates and vote for the best men,
Of party.

that this or that belongs to it
and not to the other fellow.
We have these agencies--and
how are they stated? Why many
of the people in Washington
should be in the responsible
places they are remains a COM
plete mystery to me, for their
qualifications for the particular
job are conspicuously absent.
The various information de-
partments are in q complete
tangle and anything may come
out of them except information,
directed to the sources that want
1t and could make 1t available to
the public through long-estab-
lished instruments. Instead Of
this they turn out pamphlets,
leaflets and mimeographed sheets
enough to fill warehouses, while
calling on the public to save
paper.
Moreover, all these agencies
are afraid of the public. They
are afraid of congressional in
vestigations and Of columnists.
Their anxiety neurosis takes two
forms: They hastily enlarge their
staffs in order to prove that they
are very big and important; they
hire press agents to tell the
world so-which is one form Of
information" I suppose. At the
same time, they become increas-
ingly timid in taking long-range
and important decisions, because
If they stick their necks out"
some one may chop at them. SO
we have a proliferation Of timid-
ity and indecision.
There are very good people in
these agencies, but they are lost
in the impenetrable forest Of
REORGANIZATION. Washington
seems to think that 200 people
with 400 telephones and acres Of
Office space, can accomplish more
than one person in a quiet room
with one telephone. Washing
ton is wrong. In household,
every servant above certain
minimum adds to the work Of the
existing staff, until finally all Of
them are serving or quarreling
with each other instead Of get
ting the work done. If the Office
population of Washington were
reduced tomorrow so per cent, we
would get on a lot faster with
this war.
Faces in Washington are hag-
gard with strain. Lights burn
half the night. An irritable at
titude assumes that Washington
is working while the rest of the
country is loaflng. But when you
try to find out what all this
business and strain is about, you
find it is concentrated on get
ting the final Goth initial on a
memorandum proposing some
thing that is never going to be
done.
Now this is a fault at the top.
What is needed are a very few
people Of penetrating intelh-
gence, impeccable character and
thorough competence who are
given full authority to carry out
tasks in carefully defined areas.
You couldn't get the beds made
in a private house with the sort
of a setup we have at present.
We are overstaffed and overor-
ganized, and we don't need more
