CATTLE RAISING
(William Allen White)

(Willam Allen White)
The other day Secretary of agriculture
Wickard made a speech. Among other
things, he said that a ceiling on livestock
is to be expected and perhaps to soften
the blow in the cattle country he lnSln-
uated that something might be done about
control of wages.
In a day or two we noted that the ad-
ministration in the person Of President
Roosevelt, slapped Mr.. Wickard's wrist
and said naughty naughty" And the
President told his bureau chiefs to settle
their controversial questions between
themselves, not in public.
All of which is by way of leading up to
what some of the Grass Roots Boys are
saying The grass Roots Boys are won
dering why Secretary Wickard wants
ceiling on cattle when there is no ceiling
on labor. They agree that the farmers
livestock now is in great demand, but
they can't understand why labor isn't as
important as cattle These boys, here
abouts read the papers and they find out
that every week or so some more strikes
for higher wages are pulled off right in
plants where fighting materials are being
made.
And then they look at their cattle and
see it as fighting material, too. And, the
Grass Roots Boys just can't understand
why labor ceilings aren't as important as
cattle ceilings. These boys are saying
they are just as patriotic as anybody, but
what they see and read and hear talked
about isn't running up their red, white
and blue pressure too much.

YES, YES! WE ALL
KNOW IT BY NOW

We're getting tired of the favorite
theme song of lot Of government Off
cials
We don't know how many times in the
last three months we've read of someone
high in government warning us that I'VE
can lose this war" but it has been so many
times that it would take a statistician to
keep track of them.
The American people knows that we
can lose this war. In that, as in so
many other things, they've been far ahead
of the politicians ever since Pearl Har-
Dor.
And we've got sneaking suspicion
that lot Of the American people are be-
ginning to think that if we do lose the
war, it will be because the politicians have
not been content to forget politics, and
our leaders have not been content to lead,
but have insisted upon preparing the
people for the things which the people
are already prepared for.
Most of all, we're tired of the politi-
. clans who spout about how we can lose
the war, and then go on to say that we've
got to stop criticiZing the administration,
or else we will lose it. Is the admlnStra-
tion so weak that criticism is going to
stop its war effort?
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox put 1t
about as clearly as any other politician
has.
Not only did he presage his remarks
with the classifically trite remark about
how we can lose the war, but then he
went on to tell the American Legion ma
tional convention that while some of
us" may have differed with the Presi-
dent on domestic questions in peacetime,
this is mo time to pursue those differ
ences.'
That must have gone over big with the
Legion, the recommendations of which
for armament and military training the
President so consistently ignored in peace
time, and which was blamed by Mrs
Roosevelt several months ago with re-
sponsibility for the war because, she said,
the Legion's veterans should have known
about what war meant to be able
to prevent it.

Jops May Reopen
Solomon Battle

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. CUP)-
The battle of the Solomon Isands
today was believed approaching the
crucial stage.
Reinforced American occupation
forces are prepared for an expected
attack by the most formidable Jap
anese elements yet thrown into the
struggle.
A powerful enemy naval task
force, which fled from the vicinity
of the Solomons after being attack
ed just a week ago by army flying
fortresSes, probably is readying for
another attempt to invade the
dominated waters if it
is not already steaming toward
them.
The big American bombers re-
ported possible hits on two battle
ships but did not stay long enough
to confirm this because of the ire
mendouS anti aircraft barrage
thrown up by the enemy.

KAISER

(Christian Science Monitor)
simultaneously with the return to
Washington of Henry J. Kaiser, bringing
blueprints and specifications for colos-
sal cargo planes, an almost unnoticed
news item from London reveals that
Great Britain has already launched a
cargo-tranSpOrt plane production pro-
gram. In the House of Commons Col. J.
j. Llewellin, minister of aircraft produc-
tion, said orders had been placed and that
it was assumed the United States was
starting d similar program.
Is the value of the really big planes

realized by those in charge of the fight
ing plans of the United Nations? Two
hundred-tOn cargo planes, such as MI
Kaiser ViSualiZeS, would be useful when
the time comes for all-out air action.
Doubtless if he constructs them with ply
wood-plaStic fuselages and employees sub
contracting for engines and parts, Mr..
Kaiser might not so greatly upset avla-
tion-induStry ALLEGATIONS as if he had been
permitted to proceed with his original
plan.
William B. Ziff suggests in an editorial
in Flying Magazine that if an all-out
air war is planned and the aviation in
dustry in America is to be given the
green light" with absolute priority on
all materials, Mr.. Kaiser might be accept
able as ear of the industry. The plan
has its attractive aspects, but possibly
Mr.. Kaiser has already served very
useful purpose in awaking public thought
TO the need and stirring officialdom to
activity. The United States already is
getting some cargo planes and will get
more, either under the Kaiser plan or the
Kaiser impetus.

Allied planes and Macarthur re-
ported that the warships might
have landed reinforcements.
RESCUE ATTEMPT
Scare headlines had just start
led Australians when Macarthur
reported in a special communique
that the enemy troops actually had
fallen into a trap, prepared long
in advance in anticipation of an
attack on Port Moresby from Milne
Bay.
Actually, it developed, the enemy
cruiser and destroyers which reach
ed the bay were making a desper-
ate, and vain, attempt to rescue
some of the trapped invasion
force.
Stung by this defeat. and by the
American marine landing in the
southern Solomons, the japanese
then started their attack on Port
Moresby from the central sector.
Their combat patrols which had
advanced frcm the Buna- Coma base
on the north New Guinea coast
to Kokoda on the northern slopes
of the owen Stanley mountains,
were reinforced and the combined
force drove across the mountains.
At present the Japanese were
near the village CT Ioribaiwa, 80 air
line miles from Port Moresby.
Gen. MacArthur's communique
today reported that the situation
there was static but that there
was extensive patrol activity.
I was intimated that the Allied

firmed reports said today that Ger
manyS giant battleship Tirpitz had
failed in an attempt to break out
to sea from Norway to attack an
allied convoy and may have been
torepdOcd.
The reports were circulated in
Naval quarters after Germany had
claimed that % ships had been
sunk and nine damaged in attacks
on an allied convoy bound through
the Arctic for Russia.
1t was said that the Tirpitz, Of
ficially rated at $4,000 tons but be-
lieved to be of more than 10000
had tried to slip with an escort
from its shelter at T'rondheim,
Norway.
Hardly had the Tirpitz got into
the high seas, it was said, before
British forces were there, prepared
to block it.
Escort vessels warned the Tirpitz
of its danger, according to the re-
ports, and it made at full steam
back into Trondheif Fjord, where
it is protected by heavy coastal guns
and mountain walls which make
bombing difficult.
According to the reports, a Brit

closed to reflective attack range
before the German battleship es-
capped.

of ships in the arctic convoy were
intended to cover Nazi Illustration

HE'S ONLY SO
PER CENT WRONG

We did not disagree entirely with Mr..
Knox. Nor, we believe, will others dis
agree entirely. He was talking common
sense when he said that we as United
People must actively support the presi-
dent in all phases of the war effort"
In the war effort, any American worth
the name will support the President to
the fullest. If he does not, he deserves
nothing but censure as the hands of his
fellows.
But support does not mean completely
ignoring all blunders in the field of do
mestic policy, as Mr.. Knox intimated it
should. It does not even mean silence
about blunders in the war effort itself,
of which there have been many.
The sooner mistakes are pointed out
and corrected, the sooner we will win
this war The more of them that are
allowed to go uncorrected and unnoticed,
the more surely can we lose this war.
Above all, the sooner our leaders for
get their political debts and affiliations,
and treat all classes Cncluding laborer
and farmer) alike, the sooner will we
stand united not only in our determina-
ton to win the war, but in our confidence
that we have the best available leader
ship.
But as long as politics prevail over the
war effort in Washington, criticism must
prevail over politics elsewhere

BALKED BY RUSSIANS
Responsible British quarters dis
missed the German claims as ridi-
culouS.
Germany Saturday promised an
important communique within the
next 48 hours.
1t was indicated at that time that
the high command had hoped to be
able to announce a big success at
Stalingrad. But the Russians threw
strong ground and air reinforce
mentS into the fight and there was
nothing for the Germans to claim
there.
Yesterday, with circus-like fam
fare of trumDetS, German radios
quoted the German high command
as making the convoy claim.
1t was said that out of an es-
corted convoy of 45 merchantmen,
the largest sent to Arctic Russia
by the allies, German planes and
submarines sank 25 merchantmen
totaling 177O00 tons, damaged eight
others totaling $4,000 tons SO severe
ly that they must be considered
as lost" sank a destroyer and two
escort vessels and set a second
destroyer afire.
BERLIN'S STORY
In addition, Berlin said, five mer-
chantmen totaling 10000 tons were
shot" by submarines and torpedo
hits were made ON two destroyers
Berlin, preferring to regard as
sunk the ships damaged" and

Thus the enemy suffered one

voy, including considerably dam.
aged ships, succeeded in escaping.
According to later Berlin broad.
casts. the convoy was first attack.
