NaZis Blame Laval

In search of a scapegoat for the loss o1
the French fleet at Toulon, the Nazis appar.
emily have struck upon Pierre Laval, the
French traitor who had more to do than
any other man with paving the way for the
German conquest.
The Paris radio which is Naz-dominated,
indirectly charges Laval with responsibility
for the scuttling of the fleet. He had nothing
to do with it, as the decision to destroy the
fleet in event of attack was made when the
Armistice of 1910 was signed. But Hitler
must have someone to blame it on and nobody
else is so handy.
Thus the man who has worked hand in
glove with the Nazis, whose mind and effort
have been centered upon currying favor from
Hitler whose only aim has been to sell his
land and people down the river, is liable to
feel the weight OF Hitler's mailed fist, now
that his usefulness is ended.
Laval>is without power at Vichy The Ger
mans are in exclusive control The authority
he exercised is Withdrawn and he will be
lucky to escape firing squad, which he
richly deserves to face.
1t would have been better for him if the
bullet intended for his heart, when youth
took a pot shot at him, had hit it's target
1t will be better for him now, if the Nazis
intern or kill him. For if he should fall into
the hands of the French people whom he
betrayed, they will rend him limb from limb
For the French people, at last recovered
from the apathy that followed the conquest,
and aroused to action against their enemies
be easy on the traitors who gave Hitler a
free hand in their country, the chief of whom
is Laval.

New Congress Nears

The 77th. Congress is drawing to close.
On January 4, 1s43, the 18th, will convene
with many new faces in the House and not
a few in the Senate
What lies ahead may only be conjectured.
Inevitably there will be some loss Of time
while new members are becoming oriented,
the personnel of committees is revised and
general legislative program drafted.
If there is disposition among all members
at both ends Of the Capitol to set political
differences aside and settle down to the task
of winning the war as quickly as that may
be done, without consideration of party ad-
vantages or favoritism, then the lost time
will not have been in vain.
Throughout the long period Of hostilities
abroad and our own preparations to enter
the war, politics has played harmful role.
Not always have the best interests OF the
nation been uppermost. Too often decisions
have rested upon the benefits to be gained
by individuals The consequence is that men
deserving no favor, incapable Of high ac-
complishment, have held posts of great re-
sponsibility and still have voice in the war
program and the domestic policies.
With new blood at the Capitol, men with
new viewpoints and less infected by the po-
Itical virus, it is possible to hope that there
will be greater unity in legislation, wiser de-
cisions, more competent influences brought to
bear upon the White House, in the interest
of a speedy conclusion Of hostilities through
closer cooperation, if not actual elimination,
of factions.
The 18th. Congress will have opportunity
to 60 down in history, not as levying the
heaviest taxes, not as using the rubber stamp,
nor moving in a slot like the cable that
draws street cars over an Interchangeable route,
but for inspired achievement in crisis the
like of which the nation has never before
faced.
And with new blood in Congress, it is per-
missible to hope that new blood will be in
jected in other governmental agencies where
it is so greatly needed.

Shoulder to Shoulder

The advance of Allied forces to within twelve
miles Of Tunis indicates that the showdown
for possession not only of Tunisia's capital
but of Biserte, its principal port as we'll is
not far ahead.
The Allied object apparently is to drive
wedge between Axis forces at the two cities
where Hitler has his firmest footholds in north
Africa, and so be in position to deal with
each separately.
There has been great mobilization of
Allied troops, mechanical equipment and
planes for this engagement, and the tone Of
dispatches indicates that the enemy has been
unable to match these forces despite the large
reinforcements sent across the Mediterranean,
chiefly from Sicily. There is strand of
confidence woven into all reports from this
battle area which seems to be better justified
than in any accounts of impending battles
since the war began.
One aspect Of this mobilization is significant
For the first time since 1918, American, Brit.
ish and French forces are fighting shoulder
to shoulder, and not the least determined to
win are the French They have inadequate
ammunition and general supplies but there is
no scarcity of the spirit that triunphs against
great odds.
The French forces in Africa, which are
doing their share to rid the world Of Hitlerism
unquestionably are laying the foundation for
resignation Of their country's freedom.

Raymond Clapper Says:
It's Folly To Think
War Can End In March

| Chiefs of Staff include Admiral
King of the Navy, General Mar
shall Of the Army, General Ar.
mold of the Air Forces, and Ad-
miral Leany, the Presidents per.
sonal chief of staff. Apparently il
has not yet been possible to rec.
oncile the needs of the Air Forces
and the Navy as to machine tools.
The Air Forces program is a
large one, and a large one is nec-
essay. Yet the question is raised
as to whether it is wise to carry
it ahead faster than ships and es-
cort vessels can be provided to
insure transportation of adequate
fuel, spares, engines and parts.
Question is raised whether at the
pace the war is now moving, it
is wise to try to reach a 100 per
cent replacement basis for the Air
Forces at the expense of escort
vessels which are necessary to en-
able the Air Forces to be sup
piled once they are on the other
side and in action.
1t is question of balance. The
Joint Chiefs of Staff are the only
ones who can make the decisions.
But the Importance of making de-
cisions that bring about practical
balance, SO that all of our weap-
ons can be used to their full ef-
fectiveness, is common sense. The
concern here is that there not de-
velop lack of balance that will
impair the total punch of our arm
ed forces as a whole.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-We come
row to the sad story of Paul La
vale, versatile musical conductor
who is perhaps best known r
his authentic jazz playing and con-
Quoting on the justly famous radio
show known as The Chamber Mu-
SIC Society of Lower Basin Street."
Paul spent close to a year COM
posing something he calls Sym
rhonic Rhumba.' When Leopold
Siokowski heard it, he asked per-
mission to put it on his NBC broad
cast. Paul couldn't say yes fast
enough.
So the date was set-Nov. Is.
That was the day President Roose-
welt made a special address, and
half an hour of the Stokowski pro-
gram, including Of course Paul
Lavalle's Symphonic Rhumba," !"
was heard only in Never-Never
Land.
The composer (his name was
Laval when it was a name to
wear proudly derives small COM
fort from Stokowski's promise
that the work will be presented
at later date. ''You never can
tell," observes Lavalle sadly,
when the President will speak
again."

| WAo11NIIlON, NOV. SU. - Ou
hear of bets being placed around
here that the war will be over in
March or some other date in the
near future.
If we get any such idea into
our heads it will be as harmful
and dangerous as it would have
been if the oil producing states
had been able to bluff President
Roosevelt out of going ahead with
nationwide gasoline rationing.
We are just coming into the pc
riod of heavy expenditure of lives
and material. North Africa, and
every other front that is opened,
must be continuously supplied. The
500 ships and $50 escorting war
ships that took the original expe-
dition to North Africa are but the
starter.
Planes cannot fly without gaso-
Line, and it takes 1000 gallons to
load heavy bomber. All of the
fuel, most of the ammunition and
other supplies must be shipped
from the United States.
They must be shipped through
waiting packs of German subma-
rines. Don't think the submarine
menace is decreasing just because
there is not much activity off our
own coast. The German subma-
rines have only moved to where
the picking is easier-and Hitler
lis increasing his submarine fleet
all the time, certainly faster than
we can be sinking it.
What does that mean back here
at home? 1t means we must have
more and more shipping. If we
open other fronts after cleaning
out North Africa, that will mean
more ships. And more ships mean
more escort vessels - destroyers
and corvettes to protect tn m
against submarines. Every n W
campaign means a new supply line
that must be operated continuously
and protected continuously against
submarines.
Fortunately, we have a running
start on general war production.
American industry has done a Job
of fantastic proportions. Because
Of that we can slow down on some
items in order to put the heat on
items that need to be emphasized.
None of these is more impor-
tant than escort ships. You can
build four corvettes, which are
really light destroyers, for the ma
terials that go into one cargo ship.
The point is to save cargo ships
and their cargoes, once they are
built and put to sea. When you
lose cargo, ship you lose not only
that capacity for all future time.
and all tine material and work
that went into it, but you also
lose all of the cargo, representing
enormous labor and materials.
Also you set back the forces in
the field which were depending on
those particular supplies.
That is the reason why Navy
people feel that labor and materi.
ais put into protecting escort YES
sels earn enormous dividends as
against putting them into addition
al ships without providing ade-
quate escort protection.
1t happens that the hitch, the
clash, is not so much as to the
ships themselves as it is with the
machinery. particularly the en-
glnes. That brings in another COM
rlication.
The Air Forces and the ships
come into competition for machine
tools to make engines-and that is
the point where the adjustment will
have to be worked out. It is a
matter that could be settled within
