The Wilmington morning star., 1942-07-06
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON, July 4-F ear Oh
public criticism and of reprisals, by
pressure groups is at the bottom
of much trouble in Washington.
High Administration officials
agree that nationwide gasoline ra
tioning is necessary to protect our
supply OF rubber. Why does the
Admin stration hold back? Because
it fears public d;sapproval. Con-
gress holds back because various
members fear the effect back
home. The House Ways and Means
Committee dropped the plan for
joint income-tax returns because
nine community property states
objected, and thereby lost $40O, ,00O,-
900 in revenue.
Senators and representative say
it is easy for the critics to talk
about what ought to be done but
let them 60 out and try to get
elected In other words, a senator
or representativ can't always
stand for what he believes to be
best because he might not be re-
elected. Pressure groups hound
men in public life. Labor groups
fight a ceiling on wages, and lobby
to get wage increases, and then
the farm pressure groups go to
town for lice themselves. Or
ganized ninorities make public
life dangerous for men who try to
be independent
If the Administrator and Con-
gress were certain that the public
would back them up in whatever
measures they felt were necessary
you would see a big difference in
Washington.
War involves many complex
problems. Much of the informa-
ton necessary to decision must
be secret. The fate of the whole
nation is involved. Wrong decisions
might lose the war 1t is not like
peacetime when a nation can cor
rect its mistakes later. When you
lose a war you have lost it and

Much Depends On Weather

Winter fought for the Russians. How well l!
a matter of history.
Now there is some probability that summer
may join hands with the United Nations.
Which is to say that unless the most favor
able crop weather comes in Europe, Germany
will face more serious food problems than have
thus far confronted that Hitler-ridden country
can save the German people from actual fam
inc. European agriculture has been hard hit
by labor shortages, lack of machinery, draft
animals, fuel, fertilizers and insecticides.
Crops were off to a slow start in a spring
that was from four to six weeks late. Only the
best of weather now, with plenty of rain and
interspersed sunshine can carry the Nazis
through the winter.
What the Associated Press calls Significant
signs of food difficulties in Germany have
come to Allied attention in recent weeks.
Among them the AP lists seven:
Q) Nazi admissions that the occupied
Russian Ukraine-one of the richest agri-
cultural areas of Europe-cannot be ex-
pected to make any appreciable contribu-
ton this year to German food require
ments. These admissions, it is reported,
are having a depressing effect on German
civilian morale, particularly in view of ru-
mors that food rations will have to be
further reduced later this year.
CD A shakeup this spring in the German
ministry of food and agriculture and an
acknowledgment by that ministry that ex-
tensive damage had been caused winter
wheat and rye crops by the extremely cold
weather last winter.
t3) Information that many chemicals
used in the manufacture of fertilizers, in
secticides and fungcides are becoming so
scarce that desperate measures are being
taken to maintain crop yields and to pre-
vent losses from plant diseases and insect
pests.
~ Reports that furlough privileges for
German soldiers have been greatly re-
stricted because soldiers visiting their
homes protested SO angrily against food
privations of their families that the gov
ernment was embarrassed.
(5) Reports that farming operations in
many European countries have been Sc
riously hampered this year by shortages
in Seeds
(6) Information from neutral travellers
that the effects of malnutriton are already
noticeable, particularly among children
and older persons
90 Reports that the bureaucratic Naz con-
troll over food production and distribution
is deeply resented by peasants in Germany
as well as in occupied countries.
If Hitler should fail to push through to Cau-
:asian and Middle Eastern oil, and his Euro.
oean food sources fail too, the end of this war
will have come perceptibly nearer.
