Truce Agreement

WASHINGTON, Sept 15-tUP)-
The Aluminium company of America
and the Aluminium Workers (CIOl
reached agreement today on 6
basis for negotiating a wage dis
pute that has threatened a strike
in seven plants of the company.
The agreement to reopen direct
negotiations between the company
and the union, under the supervi-
sion of a mediator, was reached at
a conference called by the labor
board.
WLB Chairman William H. Davis
told the union that a bureau OF
labor statistics study of the COM
pany's wage structure has been
completed. He urged the company
and union to sign a contract as
soon as possible.

EXPECTED DEATH

"The outstanding feature in the
capture of these prisoners is that
each one expected to be killed."
the communique said. THE humane
treatment, including the furnish
ing of medical attention and cloth
ing, was SO surprising to the cap
tives that many expressed a desire
never to return to Japan. This at
titude is understandable since ac-
cording to the Japanese code any
man missing after battle is declared
legally dead"
The communique said this cap
ture of a large number of Japa-
nese prisoners constituted the first
step toward balancing losses suf-
fered by u. S. forces on Wake
and Guam islands and the Bataan
peninsula in the Philippines, and
made a bid for better treatment by
Japanese of U. S. forces now in
Japanese prisoner of war camps.
ut is hoped that our kind hand
ling of prisoners will be matched
by the japanese in their treatment
of our personnel the communique
said.

Grew Says Japan

tUP)-Former Ambassador to Tokyo
Joseph c. Grew told the nation
last night that Japan aims at world
domination by conquest and that
its dearest wish" along this road
is the conquest of Occidental peo-
Piles, especially those of America
Calling on Americans to awake to
the fact that we are fighting to
preserve our existence as free and
sovereign people" Grew said:
The ruthless will which is driv-
ing the japanese nation towards
conquest knows neither gentlenesS
nor mercy. 1t is utterly ruthless,
utterly cruel, and utterly blind to
any of the values which make up
our civilization The only way to
stop that will is to destroy it,

COLLAPSE INDICATED

To the north of Kinhwa in the
Lanchi area, where an earlier COM
munique had mention some Chinese
reVerses in the face of superior
japanese pressure during the last
five days, the situation has improv-
ed and the Nipponese forces have
shown signs of collapse" under
Chinese attacks which have con-
tinued increasingly since Saturday
The Japanese losses were "tremend-
ous,' the communique said.
The earlier communique reported
that 900 Japanese attacked Makien-
shih, northeast of Lanchi, ON Sept
10 and made some progress.
Fighting in Suiyuan province on
the Mongolian border was said to
be flaring up again southeast of

japanese were killed and eight cap
tured in fighting Sept. 3.

becomes too heavy. In responsible
military quarters 1t Is believed
that Hitler's plan for action in
North Africa Is to delay the
Allies long as possible in order
to fortify Europe and permit him
to prepare an offensive on some
other front, either against the
British Isles or the Middle East.
The force taken to Tunisia from
Italy does not exceed $4,000 men.
and the remnants Of Marshal
Rommels Afrika Korps do not
total more than As, 1000. The COM
bination of these forces would
form powerful army having
more than a $3.50 chance of
holding the Allies for several
more weeks. 1t Is questionable
whether the Nazs will pour more
men into the area. When the
American, British and French
forces have completed their prep
arations 1t is likely that they will
have large numbers Of men
more than the Germans i but
they will have a tough time get
ting the Nazis out Of their posi-
tions.
The pincers movement from the
east and the weSt-the army Of
Gen. Bernard Montgomery and
the army under the command Of
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower-which
had been planned at the outset
of the Allied campaign In Africa
is by way Of starting very shortly.
We may expect the British 1st
Army Of Gen. Kenneth Ander-
son to start offensive operations
on a large scale soon after Gen.
Montgomery occupies Tripoli.
Hitler Figures on Losses.
The opinion of the best in
formed Washington observers is
that while the Nazis occupying
an excellent strategic position in
Tunisia could hit back and make
operations of the two Allied
groups very costly they do not
have much chance to continue
resistance indefinitely.
Hitler knows this. He is be-
lieved to figure that all he can
lose in this delaying action is the
force which has been sent to
Tunis and Bizerte since November
10. Rommels army had no chance
of getting out of Africa intact
under any circumstance. Con-
sequently, at the price of an ad-
ditional $4,000 men he may gain
very important time.
Those familiar with Nazi mill
tary tactics are convinced that
the German general staff-un-
less 1t has definitely given up all
hope Of victory-must undertake

against him.
1t would be different If Mr..
Brown could step into a we'll
organized, competently manned
and effectively functioning ma
chine. But, Notwithstanding the
greasy efforts to make 1t appear
that Mr.. Henderson has achieved
real results and is voluntarily
retiring for personal reasons, no
informed person believes any,
thing Of the kind.
On the contrary, Mr.. Brown
will find a complicated and con-
fused organization and an army
OF more than 10000 employees,
He will find large number OF
New Deal economists busily grind
ing out incredibly complicated
questionnaires and Incompetent
sible directions.
And he will find further that
prices are being regulated from
the wrong end. Instead of fixing
prices on the 20 basic commodities
at their source through local COM
mlttees and regulating retailers
through a profit percentage, the
oPA, in addition to regulating
the wholesalers, has been putting
ceilings over all retail prices, too
"A method which was abandoned
IN the last war by various nations
because it did not work.
1t is this policy which has
caused the confusion and made
necessary the vast number of
employees to take care of the i'm
mense unnecessary work. On
tne eve OF his retirement Mr..
henderson has initiated a be-
lated attempt to simplify this
system and control food prices
by fixing the margins which re-
tallers can charge. This applies
however. only to foods. and
whether Mr.. Brown can make
the change fully effective there
and then apply it to other prices
as we'll remains to be seen.
Known as Candid Man.
1t will be difficult because the
whole machinery is seared to
this retail ceiling idea. un-
questionably 1t will require a
great deal Of force and de-
termination to turn the thing
around now. Yet, unless that is
done very little will have been
gained by the change in the head
man, except to substitute for an
assertive and aggressive per-
sonality a modest and pleasing
one.
No one can tell what sort of
executive Mr.. Brown will turn
out to be. Certainly there is
nothing in his record to indicate
any administrative experience
and nothing to show any special
interest in, or knowledge Of. the
subject Of price fixing. except

ciety its curious schizophrenic
quality. For the civilization OF
the west is the incorporation Of
force; force is the generator and
instrument of its most powerful
dynamism - nationalism. Naked
or veiled, force Is behind capital
ism and imperialism. Open and
unashamed, force animates the
contrary dynamic of Communism.
Yet all are in contradiction to
the faith and theology which,
for 1000 years, have been pro-
fessed by the men of the west.
He whose birthday we celebrate
with tinseled trees and an ex-
change of gifts preached the
unity OF all mankind in Cod
a concept absolutely irreconcil-
able with nationalism. He taught
a moral law above all nations
and all men, law governing the
pOIldVloI VI HlCu dlloAlSSt tilClll-
selves both as individuals and as
groups.
Personal Responsibility.
The church he founded was a
human society. The Lords Prayer
is a prayer for this earth. The
Christian life, AS He taught and
practiced it, is concerned with
the relations between man and
God, man and man and man and
men.
It's mundane principles are CO.
operative. benevolent, mutual,
and all-inclusive. They are in
compatible with the principle Of
profit as the exclusive generating
motive in economic life. They
are incompatible with the con-
cept of class war as the instru-
ment of better society. They
reach complete personal respon-
sibility and self-accounting, to-
gether with social responsibility,
the accounting of each for the
whole.
Hundreds of millions of people
throughout Western civilization
and throughout the world declare
themselves to be Christians. The
Christian faith commands an i'm
posing priesthood and pastorate,
and vast institutions for worship
and for charity.
Yet the Christian idea Is
estranged from the characteristic
and directing institutions Of our
civilization. It does not govern
in the field of economies, or in
ternational relations, or educa-
ton. These are secular and
mundane. Thus, the kingdom
that we pray may come on earth
is eternally postponed to the
skies, and the soul is separated
from the body, to be redeemed
after death.
1t is surely Of the most pro-
found significance to the crisis
of Christianity that in our gen.
Grafton the governments of two

Christmas Season Brings Pfeo to World
To Meet Crisis Focine Christianity

German and the Russian. Russia
is ofncially an atheist nation.
Germany is attempting some
thing more subtle: The perversion
OF the church to the aims Of the
secular power. The church feebly
survives in Russia as an outlaw.
In Germany the Swastika Is
hung above the altar and a cyni-
cal attempt Is made to co-ordi-
nate the swastika with the cross.
The reaction of the Christian
church In the world to both
phenomena is as revealing as the
phenomena themselves. Organ
lied Christianity regarded both
with dismay, but counselled no
imposing outside intervention,
through the nations where 1t was
still powerful, in the case OF Ger
many, though the Catholic
Church supported world wide
political action against Com
munism.
Yet the basic aims OF Com
munism, to achieve an econom-
ically equalitarian and just So
ciety, are more compatible with
the Christian idea than are the
aims Of Nazlism, as is the uni
versalism of Communism more
compatible than the total ma
tionalism of the Hitler concept.
The Communist movement is
full Of frustrated Christians as
we'll as frustrated Jews, who have
failed in harmonizing their re-
ligious ideals with the realities of
human society. Communism has
a universal ethos, even though it
teaches the dominance of the
materialistic-as does, in practice,
capitalism. Naziism denies the
very idea Of a universal ethos. It
is not atheistic; 1t is pagan.
Origin Of Crisis Discussed.
The crisis of Christianity arises
out Of failure to make the re-
llgious ideal the main spring of
personal. communal and interna-
tional life. Christianity is not a
powerful ferment in human So
ciety. The church is a conserva-
tive influence, in the sense that
conservatism supports a status
quo. 1t Is not even conservative
in the sense that it actively op-
crates to conserve mankind from
the chaos resulting from preda-
tory nationalism, predatory cap
italisms and predatory laborism,
creating stable community
based upon a living ethos.
Yet the whole OF our civilization
Is sick for living ethos. It's ex-
periments and adjustments fail
for the lack Of an migrating
faith. Given living faith and
an integrating ethos, even faulty
measures would save us. They
will always be faulty, for man is
Of fallible mind, and there Is
much evil in him. But a society
that in the main currents of its
life has no strong imperatives of
good and evil, whose sense of sin
Is largely confined to sexual
mores, and in which no vital
faith burns brightly throughout
all It's parts, cannot bring order
out of chaos with even the most
brilliant formulas.
The Christian idea, like Mary
with her unborn Child, is home
less in the modern world. It will
find its new home and build its
appropriate institutions, If de-
mocracy, to which it gave birth,
Is not to perish. But those in
stitutions cannot be confined to
cathedrals. They must be eco
nomic, political, social and inter-
national.

The Great Game of Politics
Grond Opportunity Awoits Senator Brown
In OPA If He Continues to BIurt Out Truth

his sponsorship OF q law which
has not worked.
Still, this gives him as much
experience as his predecessor
as much, in fact, as any of the
New Deal heads Of the war agen-
cies-as much, for example, as
James Lands of the Once of
Civilian Defense or James Byrnes
OF the Once Of Economic Stabil-
ization, or Milo Perkins Of the
Economic Warfare Board, or
Henry A. Wallace, the Vice Pres
ident and future planner. 1t is
not, in fact, q group OF any real
managerial or business expert
ence and Mr.. Brown need not
feel strange on that account.
There is some criticism to the
effect that, unless he had out
standing qualifications, this was
hardly the place for a lame-duck
politician, recently rejected by his
own people.
However, Mr.. Brown has one
quality, almost unknown these
days in Washington. 1t is said
by those who know him best that
he is an unusually candid man,
with a habit of blurting out the
truth about things in which he
Is concerned, even when the truth
Is unpleasant to his friends and
unhelpful to his cause. II there
Is another such man in Official
Washington no one can recall his
name.
Would Help Correct Errors.
1t is possible that the weight Of
this, his first executive position,
may lessen Mr.. Browns candor,
but 1t Is to be hoped not. 1t is
to be hoped that he will continue
his custom of blurting out the
truth. 1t easily might be that he
could do more good that way than
In any other. For one thing, it
would make him distinctive as an
administration official; for an
other, revealing the truth would
certainly go a long way toward
correcting mistakes.
One Of the great troubles in
these times is to get accurate in
formation to the people. Most of
what they get comes from press
conferences where the executive
has all the advantage, or through
the publicity agents of the de-
partments. 1t is then strained
through the Owl and handed
out. Certainly. it is harder to
get f1rst-hand facts out Of Gov
ernment agencies today than ever
before.
1T would, indeed, be a wonder
full thing to have a real truth
teller In big job here-a fellow
who told the facts even when
they did not rebound to the credit
of his own agency or glorify
himself.
Actually, Mr.. Brown has a great
opportunity. He can, II he will,
do a vast amount Of good merely
by blurting out the truth in the
way he has often done in the
Senate. But probably he won't
do 1t. For one thing. his head
likely would be chopped off after
the first blurt. He may have
trouble finding out the truth
himself.
