Election casualties and other
causes reduced membership of the
House District Committee from
twenty-one to thirteen by the end of
the Seventy-seventh session. That is
just about the size preferred by
Chairman Randolph and Represen-
tative DirkSen of Illinois, ranking
minority member. They have dis
cussed with the House leaders the
possibility Of keeping the committee
to at most thirteen or fifteen. If
the plan has the advantages they
see in it, it should be tried.
Mere size Of a committee, of course,
has It's disadvantages when the pres
ence of a quorum is necessary to
transact business. Lack of quorum
has prevented meetings of the COM
mittee in the past, and were it not
for such devices as polling the mem
bers and tranSacting business
through small subcommittee it
would have been difficult at times
for Mr.. Randolph's committee to
function at all. Mr.. Randolph be-
lieves a smaller committee would
form more cohesive group, operat-
ing more efficiently for the District
and for Congress.
The real committee work now de-
wolves upon a handful of members
whose own sense Of responsibility
and interest in the District provide
an incentive. Mr.. Randolph is not
fault-finding with individuals when
he complains of the difficulties OF
getting committee members to take
their share of the work. They are
busy men, preoccupied with the
duties and responsibilities of repre-
senting their own constituencies. No
one in the District is inclined to
blame individuals, either. But the
leaders in Congress undoubtedly
realize the commentary on Congress
sional government of the Capital
involved in a proposal to reduce the
size of a legislative committee to get
better attendance.

Wars Are Long

Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts,
Prime Minister of the Union Of South
Africa, speaking at Johannesburg re-
Gently, warned that there are hard
knocks and hard times ahead" but
declared that "the war will end sud-
denly" when it does terminate. He
has his experience in 1914-19l8 to
support his opinion, yet careful study
of the subject suggests that the COL
lapse of the German "home front"
actually was in progress for many
months before the Kaiser abdicated
and Prince Max of Baden appealed
for an arnistice.
Indeed, 1t might be argued that
countries destined for defeat begin
to lose when they begin to fight
The semblance of success may de-
ceive a leader for long time while
the disintegration Of his forces con-
tinues, Thus Napoleon refused to
believe that his cause was doomed
after the disaster Of his expedition
into Russia. Hurrying back to Paris,
he wrote to his lieutenants that he
would Justify their confidence in him
as soon as he had recruited new bat
talions. He did not understand that
he already had exhausted the human
resources of France. Similarly, Hitler
may be taxing the Reich's population
beyond it's capacity to maintain SO
vast and far-fiung a contest.
But it would be folly to wait for
history to repeat in Germany. The
present war must be won in terms
of force to the utmost" 1t cannot
be brought to a satisfactory cOnClu-
sion by "wishful thinking" For the
correction of unreasonable optimism
in the circumstances, the record Of
previous conflicts may be cited, The
Greeks besieged Troy for nine years
before they took it by stratagem.
Hellenic resistance to Persia was
sustained from 5O4 to 469 BIC. The
PeloponneSian War occupied the best
energies Of the Greek race from 43l
to 4O4. 1t took the Romans nearly
half a century to Subjugate the
Samnites and ll8 years to destroy
Carthage. Caesar was engaged in
Gaul from So to 81, The civil strife
by which the Roman Empire was
established endured for 19 years and
the DaCian effort to control the
country beyond the Danube a. Bar
barian raids into Italy were periodic
between 410 and 553.
The greatest and longest of strug-
giles, however, probably was that Of
the Moslems and the Christian states
of Europe, beginning Sn ITO and not
ending until l9l3-more than 1900
years of invaSions and counter
invasions. Meanwhile, France and
Britain "slugged it out from 1887
to 1887, and England witnessed
ghastly scenes Of internecine slaugh-
ter in the cruel rivalry between the
House of York and that of Lancaster
still known as the War of the Roses,
l455-l471. The French civil war ran

Discusses North Ireland's Part
In American History and War.

10 Jne EQltOr OF Inc Sbar.
Some of your readers may not have
noticed the extent to which the most
successful British generals today are
men from Northern Ireland. Field
Marshal Sir John Dill, Sir Alan Brooke
chief of the imperial general staff, and
the brilliant North African leaders, Sir
Basil Montgomery and Sir Harold Alex
ander, are all Ulster men.
Southern Ireland also has produced
fine soldiers in great numbers, who have
volunteered for service in the British
Army in spite of the encouragement of
a government which permits the Nazi
flag still to fly over the German Lega-
tion in Dublin and occasions the loss of
American lives daily by denying the use
of Irish naval bases to the ships of the
United Nations.
To the Southern Irishman the fight
often is more important than the cause.
A friend of mine who commanded an
Irish regiment in France during the last
war, once gave a two weeks leave of
absence to an extremely efficient Irish
sergeant. On his return, Pat was inter-
rogated by his commanding officer: Did
you have a good time, Pat?" "Shure
sor. I had the tonne of me loife." why,
what did you do?" II drilled the Irish
Republican army, sor."
Though the Southern Irishman is
much in evidence throughout the United

Romspeck Act DELAYS

Government agencies have been so
slow in certifying their employees
for civil service status under the
RamSpeck Act that it seems certain
now the December 81 deadline will
pass without any move being made
to extend coverage to thousands who
are eligible for the benefits provided
by the law.
At the time the act was passed,
it was estimated that approximately
10000 employees in non-civl service
positions would be brought into the
classified service, but thus far only
about half that number have been
certified to the Civil Service Com
mission as qualified for inclusion. In
an effort to speed up procedure, the
commission recently waived for the
time being some of the paper work
prescribed in connection with the
certifcations, and this may result
in improvement. If it does not, one
of two things will happen. Either
Congress must change the law to
extend the qualifying period, or
thousands of capable workers will be
deprived of the advantages of civil
service status to which they are
entitled.
No doubt the demands of war have
so subordinated everything else in
many agencies that little or no at
tention has been given to this par
ticular matter, but it would be re-
grettable If the program contem-
plated by the Ramspeck Act were

Come to think of it, good coffee Is
really the crux of the Christmas dinner.

Sing the praises Of stufhng, hot bis
cults, gravy, pumpkin pie, ice cream,

American Christmas dinner will not be
quite right without plenty of coffee.
One cup day, is it?
Not on Christmas day, we hope. If
this be culinary treason, ye rationers,
make the most of it, and drink your one
cup and we hope you choke.
We know the sort of people whose pre-
Christmas dinner was described above.
eve were brought up among themD
They do love to eat, as who doesn't?
If there is any one who doesn't, let him
run down to the drugstore as quick as he
can go and get himself a bottle of the
B vitamin complex.
This will do the trick If persisted in.
1t seems to us that this is the only
vitamin mixture which really lives up to
its ballyhoo.
These persons who proclaim that they
simply cannot gain an ounce" would
do well to look into the vitamin B COM
pleX.
Fortunately, most of our readers will
not need any aid in eating the Christmas
dinner.
And If they drink more than the one
rationed cup of coffee we feel sure that
Mr.. Henderson will forgive them
If the coffee runs out they might run
back to that drugstore and see If the
clerk has any soluble coffee left. For
some strange reason this has not been
rationed, although it is, indeed, coffee
as well as any.
If our rapid runner runs out of sugar
no doubt he can get a bottle of liquid
honey.
This is the best sweetener in all the
world for coffee. You ought to try it.
1t goes we'll with either black coffee or
coffee with cream in 1t. Here is a secret
even if you love plenty of cream in
coffee, milk will do just as we'll if you
use honey instead of sugar. The secret,
of course, comes down from biblical days
They were not writing about land
overfioWing with milk and honey for
nothing They knew what they were
talking about.
We do not believe in the theory of
pouring hot water over the coffee
grounds. That is on a par with the
idea sometimes enunciated seriously,
that ashes can be burned again There
is, however, one thing which some per-
sons have found feasible. If percolator
or drip coffee is made and not all of it
drunk, 1t may be kept all day and
heated in the evening. Perhaps such
persons do not take the one-cup-a day
plan seriously enough. But If one wants
to drink up his 30 cups of coffee in one
day and go without for the remainder of
the month, who is there TO say him nay?
If 30 cups day seems large, even at
Christmas time, consider the man at
old Center Market who was said to have
| consumed 40 cups a day and increased
his weight thereby from mere sapling
Of 100 pounds to Jolly hulk of man of
$50 pounds.
