The Great Game of Politics
Admiral Lands Shot at Sunrise Remark
Seen as Stimulus to the War Effort

terial. He knows how hollow and
baseless are the blatant, breast
beating proclamations Of the Muir
ray type of labor leader concerning
the tremendous sacrifice" of Or
ganized labor in the war. He knows
that, using the war as screen, the
labor organizers have not only held
on to everything they had, but have
raised the wage level beyond cost of
living rises and made great strides
toward the organizers ideal goal of
a closed shop.
OF course, no one with a grain
Of sense thinks that when Admiral
Land used the words shot at sun
rise" he meant that he wanted the
labor agitators and organizers who
stir up strife and impede the war
effort" to be killed. No one wants
that, and 1t ought not to be neces-
sary to explain that what the ad-
miral meant was that a certain type
of labor organizer should not be
tolerated during the war. In that,
most people will agree, he is ever
lastingly right. Admiral Land is
not politician and is unaccustomed
to weigh his words with an eye to
their effect upon the lobby repre-
sentatives of any pressure group.
He does not stop to think about
that. What he is, and has been,
thinking about is building ships,
and he has been extremely i'm
patient with those who made that
job more difficult.
Blunt Language.
1t is easy to say that Admiral
Land should have been more tact
full" but he Is not weasel-worded
man and he is addicted to blunt
language. And it is refreshing to
find one high official here who says
publicly what practically all of them
say privately. Supposedly, the ad-
miral's "explanation" was made be-
cause of his laudable desire not to
embarass the President. Personally
no set of lobbyists could bully him
into backtracking. Anyhow, he
should now stand by his guns.
1t is a whole lot more healthful
for the country and helpful to the
war effort to have Government
official tell the truth about these
"organizers" than to send them
eulogistic Labor Day kilograms,
praising their patriotism at time
when war contracts all over the
country were tied up because of the
strikes which they were supporting
That was done in 1941 by important
War and Navy Department officials
and it makes it worse, not better
that the inspiration for these tele-
grams came from a very high
quarter

Rv CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
The opening OF the Allied
offensive against the forces Of
German Marshal Erwin Rom
mel in Africa had been expected
in Washington for some time.
For the last few months large
quantities of war material and
large numbers Of American
troops have been sent to Egypt
to bolster the British forces
which were rapidly reorganized
after Rommel's failure to reach
Alexandria.
The opening Of this new often
sive is full OF possibilities.
The Allies realize they have
before them an able and shrewd
strategist in the person Of Mar
shall Rommel. Unlike the situa-
ton on other fronts, terrain
itself plays little consequence in
the military operations from
Eastern Africa toward the west.
There are large expanses OF
sand with no strategic objectives
except along the Mediterranean
coast. But even II Matruh and
Tobruk were to fall into the
hands of the Allies, the situation
of the enemy could not be con-
sidered very damaging unless he
suffered severely by the loss Of
war material and men.
But If, simultaneously with
these operations in Eastern
Africa, the Allies were to open
another front in the northwest
ern part of the continent, the
Axis situation in Africa might
become unpleasant indeed. The
trip Of Admiral Jean Darlan to
Dakar and various warnings from
Vichy and Berlin indicate such
a front is not impossible.
Berlin Apparently Expected Drive.
The Allies offensive appar-
emily was expected in Berlin,
where Marshal Rommel went
three weeks ago to discuss with
Hitler the Mediterranean situa-
ton. Despite reports that the
Fuehrer had been dissatisfied
with Rommers actions and was
going to purge him, he emerged
as commander in chief of the
Axis forces in the whole region
instead of being merely the head
OF the Afrika Corps. But. al
though Rommel may have FORE
seen the Allied attack and un-
questionably is prepared for it, it
is doubtful whether the Nazis
and the Italians have sufficient
means at their disposal to fight
effectively on two fronts in
Africa.
The Axis main weapons are
mechanical units moving rapid
ly over the desert and also q
large number Of airplanes whose
main objective is to hamper the
movements of the enemy. 1t will
take everything that Rommel
now has to face the fire from the

Attempt Of Congress to Place Restrictions
On Youth Draft Aimed to Catch Votes

But you can't expect to win the
war by Russian, Chinese, and
British bloodletting, and then
come out and tell them, 1--WE, the
Americans, will make the new
world"
Actually, these restrictions pro-
posed by Congress will disorganize
the Army, and, therefore, add to
our casualties in every group.
That is why the Army is dis
mayed by them.
All armies are jealous Of man
power and anxious to fight with
as few losses as possible. On the
other hand, a soldier is a soldier,
whatever his age may be. Good
units are units of mixed ages,
combining the staying power and
leadership of the more mature
men and the elan and courage
of the more youthful.
If the more youthful - the
selectees of 18 and 19 years
were put into separate units, the
fact of longer training would
not be to their advantage. That
was demonstrated in the last war,
when, on the German side at
least, whole regiments of WE'LL
trained students were decimated
in the battles of Belgium, be-
cause they showed more courage
than sense.
Administrative Chaos.
The administrative system OF
the American Army sends all
selectees for three months basic
training, and then assigns them
to divisions, which are further
trained as units, or teams. Every
attempt is made to siphon these
newer recruits into units already
containing older and more ex-
tensively trained men. If the
proposals. of Senator Taft are
adopted, then, before any of these
units can be used, the men under
10 would have to be pulled out,
and somebody else substituted,
which simply would mean ad-
ministrative chaos.
The British also started their
war under serious restrictions
imposed by the politicians-re-
strictions which the British
Army, like the American, has
done its best to have completely
removed. In the British case
these restrictions were modified
by the fact that a very large
proportion Of the total armed
forces are volunteers, and that
to them the parliamentary re-
strictions never have applied.
Boys of is and II have seen
perilous service In the British
merchant marine.
Until October % of this year
British conscripts were not put
into uniform before they we're
ls12. but two days ago Ernest
Bevin, the Labor party leader,
gave his consent to reducing the
age to 18, after Winston Churchill
had made a strong plea, as did
President Roosevelt in this coun-,
try. for reduction in the age.
limit.
II this is a peoples war, every
one must serve where he is most
fitted to serve. The matter of
who Is fit to serve in the armed
forces must be decided by the
general staff. It certainly cannot
be decided in Congress. 1t is
interesting that the very men.
who are against any prodding of
the Army to more aggressive
action should now themselves be
prodding the Army to prevent
more aggressive action.

others, by reflections on the Brit
ish only. indicates that the old
isolationist spirit is not dead.
Senator Tydings uses the occa-
sion to suggest that he docs not
want to see the United States
doing too much of the licking. I
want to see the others bearing
their fair share of the burden"
don't quite understand what
Senator Tydings means. Field
Marshal Smuts, the South Afri-
can Premier, speaking before the
joint House of Commons and
House of Lords a few days ago,
was more gallant and more Just.
He thought of the millions of
Russian dead, and had the grace
to say that thus far Russia has
borne more than her share of the
burden in this war. Congress also
might remember that the United
States had $4,000 casualties in
the last war, to the British mil
lion. 1t also might remember
that in the battle of Britain, In
which Britain fought single
handed and alone and held the
last fortress on the Atlantic, the
civilian casualties were over
5O,000 and that Britain's war
loses to date are very considera-
BILE indeed.
I wonder what our impression
would be If Russian politician
stood up in Moscow and said,
Let us not do too much of the
licking. Now it's their turn" Al
though the Russians have asked
for a western offensive, they
never for a moment have sug-
gested that they would then
stop-until, perhaps, our casual
ties rose to their probable five
millions.
"After You, Gentlemen"
Senator Tydings' remarks sug-
gest misunderstanding of the
entire Allied situation. Up until
now none of the Allies has done
too much of the licking" All
of us, on the contrary, have re-
ceived too much of a licking.
And it is going to take all that
we have got, all together, to lick
the Axis combination.
1t is going to be quite impos-
slble to win this war if each of
the Allies says, After you. gen.
tlemen," That political attitude
almost lost this war for us before
it began.
But there is further consid-
Grafton. We not only have to
win the war but we have to make
a peace that will stick. I think
that Congress hopes that the
United States will have some
thing to say about the peace.
