or desire to enter the political
arena in his own country. Young
men will have to take over the
difficult reconstruction problems
of postwar France.
In the meantime, however. de-
spite the continuous attacks
against him in Britain and to a
certain extent in the United
States, the admiral continues to
collaborate most Loyalty with the
American supreme command in
Algeria and in Morocco The
skeptical and sometimes cynical
French admiral has implicit con-
f1dence in the word given to the
French people by President
Roosevelt that the United Ma
tions are only in temporary con-
troll Of the French African en-
pire and will restore it to the
French people as soon as the
present emergency is over and
the enemy is defeated.
Because he knows there Is not
a single example in history in
which we have not kept our
solemn pledges. he has used the
prestige he enjoys with French
Army, Navy and civil officials to
make things as easy as possible
for American occupation forces.

cording to reports from North
Africa, the collaboration between
Admiral Darlan and his group OF
generals, admirals and colonial
officials and the American COM
mander in chief, 1t. Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, is most harmoni-
Gus.
Admiral Darlan and his fol-
lowers in some instances have
delivered more than they have
promised. At one time there
was some doubt whether we could
ask that the remaining French
fleet be sent actually"to fight on
our side. The protocol which
was signed between Gen. Eisen-
hover and Admiral Darlan pro-
vides for cooperation but 1t ap-

crat will instantly add: That means

and a third will chime in at once:
That's the end OF caulifower."
Otherwise we stagger toward to-
tality, never quite reaching 1t, and
dropping as many bundles as we
pick up.
Total View is Scarce.
The total view is a scarce article
In a democracy, we're not geared
for 1t, and it's absence sometimes
shows up in the field of public dis
cussion, too, as well as in the
handling OF the public business.
A man invited to deliver a noon
time speech to war workers in a
factory yard would certainly not
say, on the basis of the unfinished
African campaign, that we have
won mighty victories and that the
end OF the war is coming closer,
and that everything looks rosy.
He'd be afraid that such unbut-
toned optimism might have a bad
effect on production. He'd certainly
not deliver such speech to work.

to induce to give up their jobs

things ito the public" not having
enough OF the total view to realize
that the public" and "the war
worker are not two fellows, but,
very often, the same fellow.
Manpower people will tell you of
the trouble that has already been
caused by rosy optimism addressed
to the public" And so another
OF the battling simplicities of war
Is that war workers read the same
newspapers as everybody else, and
that an editorial complaining about
ration sacrifices will be read by a
motorist, but also by soldier on
furlough, waiting in a railroad
station.
The nearer we come to acquiring
the total view voluntarily. the
nearer we'll come to totality with

Dor|on loyoIIy Aiding U. S. Despite Sentiment

pears there Is nothing definite
about the French men -of-war
actually battling for the Allies.
This matter Is said to have been
finally settled and we may expect
aid from number Of French
men-of-war which proved in the
battle for Casablanca that they
are excellent fighters and can
help us tremendously in the
Mediterranean.
1t Is true that the agreement
between Admiral Darlan and
Gen. Eisenhower is only OF
temporary nature since 1t has not
received the oficial stamp from
Washington.
Puzzled Over Reticence.
Neither the American military
men In Africa nor the French
can quite understand why the
United States Government con-
tinues its present reticence to-
ward a man who has saved the
lives Of thousands Of Americans
and shortened so drastically the
military operations in North
Africa.
There is, of course, the feeling
that political considerations not
based purely on theology are the
actual reasons for continuance of
anti-Darlan sentiment in the
United Nations capitals.
Admiral Darlan, who is becom-
Ing less sensitive to the cold
shouldering he is receiving from
Washington, thought at one time
that British political commit
ments given Gen. Charles de
Gaulle were at the bottom OF the
whole trouble. He and the COM
mander Of the French forces in
Africa, Gen. Henri Honore Gil
raud, made 1t known through in
direct sources that although Gen.
de Gaulle's contribution to the
Allied cause had been confined
to the political and intelligence
field, they were willing to accept
his military organization as part
OF the National French Army in
Africa.
1t was pointed out that Gen.
de Gaulle, who is junior gen.
eral, would have to take a SUBJ
ordinate place in the military
branch in which he excels, the
armored forces.
1t seems that the proposal has
not been well received In London
and received no consideration
from the leader of the Fighting
French.
American military men who
Judge the situation from a purely
military point Of view thought
that Admiral Darlan's offer was
equitable and logical.
There is still hope that the
French may soon become united.
Gen. de Gaulle is expected in
Washington in January and will
be received by President Roose-
welt. 1t Is possible that after his
visit he may change his mind
and decide to let bysones be
bygones and accept a military
position for which he has had
the proper training.

driven them in flight across TOO
miles of desert.
The Axis troops are dug in on
. strong line which they pre-
pared many months ago. That
line is calculated to withstand
great pressure. But nothing is
more certain than that Marshal
Rommefs eyes are searching the
skies anxiously. There lies one
OF his greatest worries, for it was
the Anglo-American air forces
which played major part in
smashing his defense at Ell Ala
mein and precipitating his his
toric debacle.
This Allied air force, with its
superiority Of power over the
enemy is one OF the British 9th
Army's greatest assets In the
campaign to drive the Axis from
Northern Africa, and the share
which Uncle Sans airmen are
taking in this decisive battle of
Libya represents one of his
proudest contributions to the
victory which the United Nations
are building.
Well-Known Sportsman.
Thus the leadership Of the
Briton who commands the Allied
air forces Is, to put it mildly, a
matter Of lively concern to all
Americans.
1t was, therefore, with keen
interest that I responded to the
cherry greeting of welcome and
shook hands with Air Vice Mar
shal Sir Arthur Cunningham, gen.
eralisSimo of the desert skies In
these parts.
The marshal was drinking cof-
fee at = little table set on the
sand in front of his caravan
under the powerful sun which
already had done q considerable
part Of its forenoon job. He ex-

getic individual who starts his

folks to cover.
He is 4 big fellow, about s feet
2. but he has the figure Of an
athlete at the comfortable age of

fitness testify that he is habitual-
ly an outdoor man and his
penchant for sports is well known.
Born in Australia
He Is good looking with an at
tractive laugh. He has a pleasing

a conversationalist that the un-
wary might overlook that square
jaw OF his. This would be a grave

lot of John Bull in Marshal
Coningham and his square jaw
marks one of his outstanding
characteristics. He is 4 fighter
and uses both fists.
Sir Arthur was born in Bris-
bane and educated in New Zea-
land. He began his military
career with the New Zealand in
fantry in 1914, but two years later
transferred to the air force in
France and became one Of the
outstanding British airmen of the
World War.
Incidentally, he has a string Of
decorations. After more than q
quarter century as an airman, he
still is an enthusiastic aviator and
flies his own bus.
He talked freely about the
military position as though he
were at q stah conference. I
cannot repeat many Of the things
about which We talked. However,
there are some cherry bits that
can be relayed. For instance, I
asked how our Yankees were
doing on this front.
Yanks Called Magnificent"
"Magnificently," he exclaimed.
. Their work has been quite
splendid. That cannot be over
emphasized"
How about cooperation be-
tween the two forces?" inquired.
''Is there any clash?"
There are no differences what
ever" he declared. I'VE are
working as a unit and SELF
interest doesn't enter the picture
at all. We have = Job to do and
we are doing it,"
The air commander paused
and grinned, then continued:

Is an ef1icient machine.
when your people first came
to this front, I said to them: I
wish you to profit by the three

Yes, profit by all our mistakes
and by our successes. There Is no

Well. there you have the AL

Cunningham works As close to the

able to make quick decisions as

two work together constantly.
Marshal Cunningham, like Gen.
Montgomery. has the gift of

power pool. This Is one of those
bafningly simple, yet profound dis
coveries, like the discovery that If
you want to use metal for planes
you cannot use 1t for automobiles.
That one took us year and a half.
This matches the recent discovery
that every new soldier means one
less male worker, while almost every
new male worker means one less
soldier. That one took two years.
This war is an adventure in sim
plicities, but we still have q long
way to 60 to see them all in all their
aggravating lack of complexity.
We have just begun to realize that
If the people are made to eat less
OF one food, say meat, they will eat
more of another, say cheese, re-
ducing supplies Of that, and so there
is no such thing as a shortage in
one line; each shortage is a lot of
shortages. The meat shortage is a
cheese shortage, the coffee shortage
quickly becomes a cocoa shortage.
just as there is only one pool of
manpower, there is only one pool
Of food, and If you take any item
out of either the level of the entire
pool drops.
We have. made each Of these pitt
fully naive discoveries the hard way,
as any business man will testify,
who saw the shortage in metal start
= stampede toward plastics, quickly
translating the metal scarcity into
q plastic famine.
One Thing After Another.
We are doing this in the trans
portation field, too. of course, where
we ration gasoline without appear
ing to realize that such a move
requires almost simultaneous ra-
tioning of railroad tickets, as a big,
new load is piled on the iron horse.
And those who talk about having
fewer bureaucrats and less controls
during wartime are simply and COM
pletely mad, because they are defy
ing the first law Of nature and OF
economics. which is that one thing
leads to another.
The gasoline shortage leads to
a railroad space shortage. That
leads Food Director Wickard (ac-
