The Great Game of Politics
Presidents Speech Held 'Dsquetiney Vogue
On Monpower Problem and Its Solution

when commission is created and a
goal outlined, the job Is as good as
done.
He we'll understood the problem
and the need when he named Mr..
McNutt, but he didn't follow
through. And Mr.. McNutt, without
law, without policy and without
authority, couldn't. Obviously, II
dislocation and confusion were to be
avoided there had to be cooperation
among all the agencies concerned
with manpower, plus direction by a
single head.
We have had neither the CO.
operation nor the direction. The
selective service, the McNutt COM
mission and the United States EN-
ployment Agency have all worked
separately under separate heads and
without complete understanding
Add to this the inability Of the Army
to make up its mind precisely what
size an Army it wants and the
present disturbing situation is the
natural outcome.
Fails to Outline Remedy.
In his speech, the President shows
a clear comprehension of the facts,
but he failed to outline clearly the
remedy. The only man thus far who
has done that is Senator Taft OF
Ohio. His bill may not be the per-
feet bill, but it is in the right direc-
ton. The administration, however,
is not disposed to adopt the plan OF
a Republican, particularly If Mr..
Taft is the Republican. Yet, soon
or late, an amalgamation of the
several agencies under single
head is certain and a law will be
needed. The job cannot be handled
any other way, and to temporize
further is to invite more trouble.
Aside from this, there are three
quite simple ways by which the
manpower of the Nation could be
increased. One, the President could
do by himself without any legisla-
ton whatever. He could give orders
to reduce personnel in the Govern
ment service to the actual needs
In this way, he not only could re-
lease very large number of the
2,500000 civilians now on the Fed
eral payroll either for the Army or
for work on farms or in factories.
but he also would greatly increase
efficiency Of the governmental ma
chine.
The other two ways would require
legislation, but that easily could be
had with the Presidents support.
One is to extend, during the war,
the 40hour week to 48 hours. The
other would be to make strikes IL
legal. On these matters Mr.. Roose-
velt is silent. Yet there seems no
sound reason why in this crisis labor
should not make these Sacrifices"
nor why Government employees
should be any more sacred than
employees in civil life.

ways-the Mediterranean, the
Black Sea, the Caspian and the
Persian Gulf.
This involves. first, the con-
quest of France, and then the
conquest of Russia. to be followed
by the conquest of Egypt and the
Middle East.
This plan did not originally, or
Immediately, involve the con-
quest Of the British Empire. All
the evidence shows that Hitler
hoped to obtain the collaboration
OF Britain in it, and, in exchange,
was prepared to guarantee" the
existence of the British Empire.
This idea was rejected by Great
Britain for idealistic and ma
terialistic reasons. A nation con-
trolling Eurasia would be in a
position to strike at any moment
at the British Isles themselves
and at the whole British world,
whenever it chose to do so, and
once it had consolidated it's
strength would be unconquerable
by any other western power or
consolidated remnants of power
on earth.
Japs' Plan for Conquest.
The Japanese plan is, from
the island base, which occupies
of Asia the position of Britain
of Europe, first, to create a huge
land base in China and bv a
combination of naval and land
power to dominate and organize
the whole Pacific area. This
means the total conquest of
China, the conquest of all other
European empires or spheres of
influence, and the establishment
OF Japan in the role of Germany
in the Far East.
This Pacific area-like the Fill
raSlan area-has no natural
limitations. 1t can include In
dia, Australia and the Pacific
shores Of South America. North
America, and, certainly, Alaska.
The conjunction of these predi-
Gated German and japanese en-
pires could lead at the end to
a struggle between them, but not
before all other powers had been
eliminated and they had reached
their largest extensions.
Americas Would Be Helpless.
If we can imagine what they
have planned, there would be one
part of the world encircled bv
them, and that would be the So
called Western Hemisphere, two
large islands, which would be in
the pincers of them both. unpro-r
tected In two oceans. For everv
Atlantic and Pacific outpost, in
cluding the British Isles, would
be conquered, disarmed, or drawn
by politics into their sphere Of
influence.

1t wasn't that kind of speech. It
was strongly optimistic concerning
the steady growth in strength of the
United Nations, the unity of our
people and the ultimate victory. But
it lacked fire and on certain sub
jects was disquietingly vague.
One of these was manpower. On
this. the President practically re-
peated what he had said a year ago
when he created Manpower Com
mission with Paul V. McNutt as its
head.
At that time the people were
told that every man and woman
would have to do his Or her part;
that total manpower would have to
be modified and allotted according
to needs; that labor would have to
be rationed as well as materials.
But, many months have passed
with nothing done. Mr.. McNutt not
only has achieved no results but
he has no real policy and not even
law, though it was announced
long ago that one would be intro
duced. Now there has developed an
alarming labor shortage-on the
farms especially but in the factories
as we'll. In discussing this, the
President said there was no real
shortage-it was just a question of
getting the right men in the right
places at the right time.
This is calling it by other names,
but falls short of firm, clear plan
for solving a grave problem. The
President still hopes to avoid COM
pulsory measures and to meet the
situation through voluntary CO.
operation of the people and intelli-
gent administration direction.
1t Hasn't Worked Out.
But that is what he hoped last
year and it hasn't worked out-in
fact, things have become so much
worse that men like Gov. Stassen of
Minnesota and others feel a crisis
exists. The truth is that this labor
shortage is largely due to the Presi-
dents disposition to consider that

lent job there, but it is possible

will decide Turkeys fate.
If the expectations of the
White, House and the State De-
partment are fulfilled it is likely
that some officer on the retired
list will go to that post, which
will require the presence Of a
