I'D Rather Be Rioht'
COP Out Of Step With Chamber Of Commerce
On How U. S. Should Face Postwar World

begin to face up to the future as
squarely as some Of its spokesmen,
such as the New York Herald Trib-
une, have done. Actually, its post
war planning, as outlined In its
recent activity, is not planning at
all. It is only a kind OF moaning
low.
The thing Gov. Bricker says he
wants isn't plan. It Is q senti-
mental ballad. And while the Brick
er idea does not show up In the
party's national resolutions, 1t GER
tainly shows up in the party's con-
gressional voting record.
Actually, the official side of the
Republican party, far more than It's
members or its newspapers, is wan
dering into a very special position.
1t Is not at all the mirror of con-
servatism any longer. It is the
mirror of die-hardism.
1t has become the dreamiest of
all the parties, for among the worlds
OF the future now being planned the
Bricker world of a return to the
village green is the most wildly i'm
probable, the most unfactually i'm
aginative, the most starry-eyed, If
you like, Of them all.

Farmer Cited for Heroism:
Pulled Flyers From Wreck
BY the Associated Press.

AUGUSTA, Ga, May 4.-Robert
Clayton Moss, Is. colored farmer
who pulled two cadets from their
flaming plane at risk of his own life,
has been cited for heroism by the
Army and given a cash award of
more than 500.
The training plane in which the
two cadets from Georgia Aero Tech
School here we're flying crashed in
flames April on a farm near Mat
thews, Ga.
Mr.. Moss, working in the field.
pulled out the two cadets, John
Francis Hogan and Paul Hite.
1t. Col. Henry c. Huglin, COM
mandant Of the school, declared in
his citation of Mr.. Moss "by your
prompt and fearless actions in the
face Of a possible serious gasoline
explosion you saved both cadets
from serious injury and probably
saved their lives. 4" On behalf of
the United States Army I want to
thank you for your splendid actions
and commend you for your ,heroism
and courage"
When the exploit became known
here, local residents raised a sl37
fund for Mr.. Moss. In addition stu
dents at the school presented him
with an unannounced sum at the
weekend ceremonies in which he
was cited.

end. Orders given to Nazi COM
manders In the field to make the
Allies pay as dearly as possible
for every inch Of ground have
been carried out to the letter.
1t seems that the German high
command cares little how many
men are left dead on the battle
field, since approximately 100000
Nazis in Tunisia have been writ
ten of by Hitler.
Tired units are being replaced
by fresh Allied troops from the
large reservoir OF reserves which
Gen. Eisenhower has been able
to build up close to the battle
lines. New weapons, tanks and
long-range guns are being
brought up to the front. Guns
firing effectively distance of
more than Is miles are needed
for the impending assault on
Mateur and Bizerte itself.
The main Allied asset in this
whole campaign-air superiority
is being maintained at the
same ratio which existed when
the forces Of Gen. Bernard l..
Montgomery and 1t. Gen.
George S. Patton, jr., began to
hit the Nazis in the south, driv-
Ing them northward.
In spite Of the bitter Axis op-
position, Washington and London
military experts have not
changed their opinion that
Tunisia will be entirely in our
hands by the end OF the month.
The price In killed and wounded
and lost war material has not
exceeded the original calcula-
tions which warned that the
Tunisian campaign would be no
military promenade.
Morale Believed Good.
For available reports from the
battlefield, it is apparent that
the morale of the Axis forces has
not yet suffered, although the
men are fully aware that their
chance of escape Is extremely
small. 1t is true that the bulk
Of the enemy forces is composed
OF veterans and only a few units
are composed Of younger men
who have not yet seen war at its
worst. But they also appear to
be in fighting mood and our
efforts to induce them to sur
render in mass have not been
successful.
The strategic Importance of
Tunisia cannot be overlooked. It
will offer us eventually an excel
lent springboard for our invasion
Of Europe From the tactical
point Of view, our high command
Is learning a good lesson on what

uses in the Republican party the
world OF the future is one in which
there will be a drastic return to
States rights, small Federal budgets
and local self-government. Gov.
Bricker of Ohio now leads that
drive. One would like to introduce
him to Capt. Lovette, murmuring
that you two ought to know each
other. Are local budgets going to
maintain the big Navy Of the future?
Meanwhile, a number of South
African thinkers are thinking,
unoflcially, about United
States of Africa. 1t will be an
odd world Of the future which
sees more federalism in Africa
and less federalism in America)
Industry Is Warned.
Also on the postwar plan front,
Senator George Of Georgia, in a
remarkably able address to the
United States Chamber OF Com
merce, has warned industry that If
1t wants to avoid Government in
reference with business it will have
to get used to the idea Of producing
some $155,0o0 ,00O,0 OF goods and
services each year, keeping 55,000,-
900 Americans employed. Govern
ment spending during depression,
he says, is not plot, but the nat
ural result of unemployment.
This was an exceedingly realistic
meeting Of the chamber, with less
hoorah and more hard facts than
usual. It was good to hear some
body at one of these meetings state
the simple truth about the postwar
period, that one man is not going
to starve willingly for the sake of
another mans principles.
The chamber showed that its new,
thoughtful mood was not put on,
for its Resolutions Committee ended
its work by indorsing extension Of
the reciprocal trade treaties by
vote of "a to II. The committee
lined up with Mr.. Roosevelt and
against the Du Points. who spoke for
the other side.
Sees Danger in Drift
Here. again, find myself coming
back to Gov. Bricker, and to the
leading Republicans, and to their
nostalgia little unoficial postwar
plans. The Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States has voted, 3
to l, for the trade treaties. All the
Republicans on the House Ways and
Means Committee, to a man, have
voted, 10 to 0, against these treaties.
Will not some leading Republicans
realize the danger Of the present
drift, which finds the Republican
party far to the right of the Cham
ber Of Commerce of the United
States?
Anyhow, the world of the future,
as these q think the phrase is
''hard-headed') businessmen see it,
is world of reciprocal trade treat
les, negotiated by the President,
while the world Of the future as
Gov. Bricker and his friends see
it is one in which all these prob
lens will be solved right in their
own cute little villages.

date. It is obvious, however, that
Gov. Dewey, the recognized lead
er Of the COP organization, will
have great deal to say about
what the delegation does when
it comes time to ballot for the
nominee for President.
Wendell L. Willkie, the Hoosier-
New Yorker, who won the presi-
Dental nomination in 1910 when
Dewey was candidate and who
opposed the nomination of Gov.
Dewey last year, is being put for
ward again by his supporters for
the 1914 nomination. He has
made no formal announcement
of his candidacy. That he will
run, however. is regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
Criticized for Course.
Mr.. Willkie has been much
criticized by New York Republi-
cans because Of his attitude to-
ward the Dewey nomination for
Governor last year, and particu-
larly because he waited until the
Saturday before election day last
November to declare his support
for the Republican ticket.
This resentment dropped out
IN a speech made recently by
Secretary Of State Thomas J.
Curran, an ardent supporter CT
the Governor. In that speech
Mr.. Curran predicted the defeat
of the New Deal in next years
election. He added that the voters
would see no advantage in turn
ing from "a Democrat who knows
that he is bigger than his party
to a Republican who thinks he Is
bigger than his party" Mr.. Cur
ran obviously was hitting at Mr..
Willkie.
Roland B. Marvin, former
Mayor of Syracuse and leader of
the Onondaga County Republi-
can organization, has taken up
this challenge. He wrote letter
to Representative Hamilton Fish
announcing his support of Mr..
Willkie.
Gets Anti Willkie Poll.
The occasion of his letter was
the receipt from Mr.. Fish of
poll taken of Indiana Republican
County committeeman showing
them against the denomination OF
Mr.. Willkie., The poll was taken
by the Fort Wayne News-Sen-
tinel. Mr.. Fish is violently op-
posed to Mr.. Wiukie, who tried
to defeat him for denomination
last year because Of his isolation
list views.
Mr., Marvin's reply to Mr.. Fish
was sarcastic. He said that the
News-Sentinel was "one of the
most bitter-end reactionary isola-
zionist newspapers in the United
States"
He continued that this was the
third copy Of this poll he had re-
ceived, all under the frank of
Mr.. Fish.
"One communication from you
at any time is adequate,' Mr..
Marvin said to Mr.. Fish. "Also
as Federal taxpayer, want the
Federal money used for better
purpose than the advancement of
your, Gen. Robert Woods and
Gov. Landon's political dislikss.
In fact, I don't think it is of any
Importance. national or other
wise, what the Fort Wayne News
Sentinel or you think of Wendell
Willkie."

to expect when the attack on the
European mainland is finally be-
gun.
Tunisia today Is a mere out
post Of the European fortress.
But with the exception Of the
climate it has on q reduced scale
all the obstacles we shall find in
Europe rivers, valleys and
mountains.
Tunisia Is Yardstick.
The Tunisian campaign gives
us an opportunity to draw an
estimate as to the number of
troops. war material and planes
required, and particularly the
losses we shall be faced with In
the European invasion. The CO.
efflcient Of losses must. of course,
be greatly raised.
The operation against the con-
tinent will require an initial am
phibious expedition which, even
If we increase the proportion Of
air superiority, will be an ex-
pensive business. Furthermore,
the Nazis since 1910 have built a
powerful chain Of Notifications
which is being perfected as time
goes on. Hence, the increasing
Importance of striking at Europe
as soon as possible, even though
the cost this year will be greater
than it would have been last year.
The Tunisian campaign also
has taught the Allied high COM
mand to expect an even more
stubborn opposition than has
been encountered in the African
plains and mountains. One of
the Nazis' principal handicaps
has been their lines of communi-
cation. They had to ferry their
men and supplies across the
Mediterranean.
This required two operations
one from the European mainland
to Sicily or Sardinia: the other
from those island bases to Tu-
nisia.
Blockade Stringent.
The latter operation was, by
far, the most difficult because of
the stringent Allied blockade.
Few ships have managed to put
into Bizerte or Tunis in the last
few weeks. The need for gaso-
line supplies, however, was so
great that the Nazis had to take
a chance of supplying their
armies in Tunisia by transport
planes and many of them have
been shot down by our air forces.
There have been many in
stances when the Nazi planes
were destroyed on the ground be-
cause they lacked fuel to take off.
These enormous defensive dis
advantages Of the enemy will not
exist when we make our main
offensive against the European
fortress. Unless the chief source
OF oil and gasoline supply of the
Nazis-the Rumanian oil fields
can be destroyed, either by acts
OF wholesale sabotage or by the
Allied air forces, the Nazis will
continue to draw about 5000 900
tons OF fuel a year which will
enable them to carry out de-
fensive air operations on a large
scale.
The enemy's communication
system, which consists of rail-
ways, roads and waterways, is
highly developed, and supplies
can be brought with incompara-
bly, less trouble than has been
the case in Tunisia,

to the full with minimum Of waste and
then keep going at that rate until the end
OF the war. When our initial squirt is
over. increasing consideration must be
given to our staying power. This means
more attention to the home front. And
that means, among other things, more
material for housing. Overcrowded
dwellings. occupancy Of insanitary dwell
ings, are causes Of ineficiency and
disease We cannot afford either the
slow-d down Of fatigue or another tnfiu-
enza epidemic.
Six months ago all talk OF postwar
planning was taboo-we must win the
war. Then-with the war going better.
talk of postwar planning became rife.
Now we are entering the third phase,
beginning to realize that longtime war
planning and postwar planning have
much in common. The things that will
make for staying power from now until
the end OF the fighting will also make
easier the very difficult transition from
war to peace.
Our Postwar Population.
A year ago some among us feared
postwar surplus of housing when war
workers go home; others thought that
shortage of housing would be good be-
cause of the employment 1t promises.
Those fears and thoughts are being re-
vised. Washington's population always
has grown rapidly in times Of national
crises. 1t has declined only slightly and
temporarily after the crises. If war
workers go home, reconstruction workers
will take their places. After the last war
there was no drop until 1924 and then
only of 10000. The next year all but
1000 of this loss was regained. The Of
fetal figures are: 1910, actual april 15),
331, ,069 estimated Guly -. 1893 1855; 1918.
estimated, 42l,l16; 1920. actual april u.
437,571; estimated Uuly -, 439 976; 1880,
actual april y, 486869: estimated July
u, 491, ,795; 1910, actual april u, 663 09l;
estimated (July u, $4,000. On May l,
1912, the estimated civilian population
alone was 821 ,299. Since then there has
been no official estimate.
During recent years, with the growth
OF SUBURBS ana improved transportation,
the real figures are those for the metro
politan area rather than those for the
District alone. In 1920 the metropolitan
area population was 506,588. In 1890 it
had become 62l ,059, and in 1910, 907,816.
The latest estimate, as of May /, 1912,
is 1,149,136 for the civilian population
alone.
In April, 1910, the housing census
showed vacancy ratio in the Metropoli-
tan Area Of 81 per cent. This is consid-
cred normal. It permits Of some choice.
But this vacancy was largely in homes for
the well-to-do. A year later we had be-
come somewhat concerned about an evi-
dent decrease in accommod odations. So the
Works Progress Administration made q
survey which showed vacancy ratio in
the District Of only per cent. i.e.. ap-
