ton for Mr.. Roosevelt's reference
to 1t as q measure which would be
folly" in peacetime but is little
less than tragic" in a time OF war.
There will be justification for his
veto If the House follows the Senate
example and passes it. And there
is reason for regret that so many
Democratic Senators who have in
weighed against administration pol
itics in the midst OF war should open
themselves to the same charge.
Nevertheless. the high plane on
which both the presidential and
senatorial opposition took their
stand seems just a little too lofty
to fit the facts. For example. 20
Of the 20 opposing votes came from
Republicans. On the surface, this
would seem very noble, indeed, Of
the Republicans.
Here they are almost solidly sup
porting the President against a po-
litical effort of his own party to
hamper and embarrass him In the
conduct of the war. 1t is painful to
spoil so beautiful a party picture
and, maybe, one should accept the
Republican support at face value.
No Patronage for G. O.P.
However, the practical, underly-
ing reality is that, belonging to the
minority party, the Republican Sem
ators would get none of the juicy
patronage which the McKellar bill,
II enacted. would make available.

To obtain the interchangeable
position Of master Of the French
areas not under the German
yoke, he also had to wrench from
the committee the power to con-
troll the personnel Of the armed
forces. Hence his insistence Of
being given the position of min
lister of national defense.
Gen. Giraud opposed this for
several weeks. The situation be-
came 50 embroiled at Algiers that
at one time an open clash be-
tween the two leaders appeared
unavoidable. Gen. LeClerc, tho

fought with the British 9th Army

eventually was stopped by the

Armed Clash Averted.
On the other hand, forces op-
posing Gen. de Daulle, and par
ucularly the motorized division
at Rabat, appeared ready to
march toward Algiers and strike
at Gen. de Gaulle and his fol-
lowers. This was stopped In the
nick Of time, too.
After clashes between French
forces were avoided, Gen. de

part Of the political game and
were merely prologue to make
his victory easier.
Given Full Authority.
The only real difficulty which
Gen. de Gaulle coud have en-
countered might have come from
Gen. Eisenhower. who had OBJ
tanned full authority from Wash
ington to do whatever he de-
sired, provided we have no more
trouble in North Africa, and to
get along with the war.
1t is obvious that Gen. Eisen-
hover considered that yielding to
all the demands of Gen. de
Gaulle was the shortest road to
at least a temporary peace in the
area under his Jurisdiction. After
several attempts to restrict the
political Fighting French to
purely political and administra-
tive job, Gen. Eisenhower decided
to let Gen. de Gaulle have his
own way.
The Allied forces In North
Africa are poised to attack the
Italian islands in the Mediter-
ranean. The undertaking might
prove more dif1cult than Is an
ticipated If the Italians in Sicily
and Sardinia are determined to
fight our invasion forces. 1t
seems the Nazis have decided to
support their shaky allies with
more aviation than they had
intended to throw into these
islands at first. Some Nazi
fighter planes are reported to
have arrived in Italy to help
Mussolini fight of the Allied
bomber squadrons which are
raiding Sicily daily.
Bigger Fight Seen.
The possibility that the Allied
forces may meet much heavier
resistance than in the past Is be-
ing taken seriously into consider
alton by the American high COM
mand.
Under these circumstances it is
essential that there shall be no
friction In North Africa. And
since 1t appeared to Gen. Eisen-
hover and Harold Macmillan,
representative Of the British gov
ernment at Algiers, that the
easiest way out was to yield to
Gen. de Gaulle, decisions of the
National Liberation group, plac-
ing the armed forces under the
administration Of Gen. de Gaulle,
are not likely to be challenged.
What repercussion this new
development will have among the
French forces remains a question
mark. 1t Is hoped here, however,
that the prestige of Gen. Giraud
In the armed forces Is sufficiently
strong to prevent any open signs
of discomfort. Since Gen. Giraud
had to accept the decisions of the
cabinet, it Is assumed that he,
who is interested only in de-
feating the Axis, will do his
utmost to keep the French armed
forces together, at least until
the end Of the campaign in the
Mediterranean.

at terribly long hours. but has
not given them decent food.
The regime is 10 years old. A
German 20 years old has never
seen anything but Naziism that
he can clearly remember, and its
leading authorities do not belong
to his generation, but to that OF
his elders.
Far too little attention has
been paid to the remarkable
Scholl case. Young Scholl had
been a student at the University
Of Munich. He left the univer-
sity to 60 to war, fought in the
terrible battle for Stalingrad, was
severely wounded and invalided
out Of the army, returning Grip
pied and covered with medals to
continue his studies.
Last February . gauleiter ad-
dressed the university assembly,
and directed coarse remarks at
the women students. He told
them they had no place in hu-
manistic studies, and should 20
to work in war plants or. at
least, begin producing children
for the Fuehrer, legitimate or lille
gitimate. He concluded his re-
marks by saying, land I mean
that you should begin tonight"
He was interrupted by protests
from the students, and young
Scholl arose and attacked the
gauleiter, saying, Il fought at
Stalingrad, but not for you Nazi
bureaucrats. nor to turn Nazi
girls into a race of prostitutes.
Five students were arrested and
executed. Among them Scholl,
the wounded hero" Of Stalin-
grad, and his sister.

me to believe this story is not

Teaching Boomerangs.
Under every despotism of his
tory, students have been educated
in the doctrines of the regime.
They were educated in czarist
doctrines under the Gear Of
Russia. But everywhere revolts
have been assisted by youth,
when conditions became unbear-
able. Then the very indoctrin-
alton turns back on the teach
ers. 1t is bad symptom for
our democracies when they lose
faith in the original common
sense of the human race, reborn
In every youth.
There is no reason to be afraid
Of the youth of any nation, II the
authorities over them practice
what they preach. and II the
youth Is offered opportunity for
life and happiness. The greater
the fervor among youths, for
naziism or any other theology, the
greater their reaction when their
hopes are betrayed. The only
fear We ought to have about the
former Fascist youth-apart from
the limited number Of trained
sadists amongst them, who have
been originally selected for nat
ural tendencies-is that a new
democracy also may disappoint
them by falling to offer oppor-
tunity.
Whatever the peace terms may
be. minor children cannot be held
responsible for the sins OF their
elders, unless we are to accept
the dreary Nazi philosophy that
certain peoples are tainted with
ineradicable sin, which is passed
on in the very genes.
