In DARING New Aerial Surprise

any foe, if the glider had chosen
thus to tip its hand.
This last glider carried a jeep,
and still had room for six men and
a band. The music stopped and
started at every approach to the
| field, as the machine turned lazily
toward the ground. There was in
tense quiet, and the scraping sound
again. All was well, and the crowd
broke into cheers. Each of the six
| gliders had made it.
| The loud-speaker ordered the band
to come forward and it obeyed,
playing Hail, the Gangs All Here" :"
The airborne infantry marched to-
ward the control tower.
1t. G, N. Davis of Springfield, ILL.,,
pilot of the third glider, insisted it
was easy. He cut loose at 1000 feet.
Saw Field Easily
Il could see the field from there"
he explained. I'D seen it in day
time, of course, but, even without
that knowledge, I think I could
have spotted it. l saw the trees
sfringing it on every side"
He glided for Is minutes before
he slipped in and stopped.
The officers who had planned the
maneuver wouldn't have been sur
prised, as they said frankly in ad-
vance, to see at least a couple of
wings smashed or even more serious
damage. But not a glider was
scratched.
While gliders have been used ex-
tensively in Europe, usually they
have unloaded at daybreak, when
there was better chance of find
ing the spot assigned. Whether
landings in the dead of night, with
ship and field alike without a gleam
of light, will prove practical re-
! mains to be determined, but this
demonstration impressed the hun
dreds of air officers who watched it.
Among the daylight wonders re-
vealed to visiting officers and news
| papermen during their 2-day visit
here was an exhibition by Mai.
Mike Murphy of Finley, Ohio, a ia
nous stunt pilot.
Stunts on Way Down.
Not as hippodrome feature at
all, but simply to illustrate the f1ex-
ibility of the latest-type glider, Mai.
Murphy cut loose at altitude we'll
above 5000 feet, went through a
series of loops and rolls with his
engineless craft that had the spec
tators holding on to their jeeps.
He simply wanted to show what
you can do with a glider. For
something like Is minutes he made
the light, trim craft do everything
but sing and talk, ard then rolled
. into the runway.
AS Col. P. Ernest Gabel, executive
officer for the glider program, who is
from Washington, emphasized, the
show which the visitors saw was not
really a show, but they simply were
/ taken behind the scenes for glimpses
of the training program. The same
sort of thing goes on week after
week as glider pilots are prepared
for the dangerous missions they
may carry out in combat.

garding the organization of the
postwar world.
Mr.. Eden no longer is the
prodigy child" of the British
government. The chief interest
in him is not now centered in
the fact that he is the youngest
foreign secretary Britain has had
since the days of William Pitt, jr.
Since he left the appeasement
government of Neville Chamber
lain to re-enter the cabinet OF
Winston Churchill, Mr.. Eden has
grown considerably in stature as
an able diplomat.
There is no question that both
Washington and London are
gravely concerned over what will
happen to the states which had
been independent until the Nazis
started their wars Of conquest in
1899.
Guarantees Needed.
The loose wording OF the At
lantic Charter does not give any
definite guarantee to the smaller
nations that they will be resur-
rected.
In some quarters in Allied
capitals there is a feeling that
despite the promises of the At
lantic Charter some of the inde-
pendent republics, particularly in
Eastern Europe, will have to &C
cept the protection" of their
bigger and stronger neighbor
after the war is over.
Such a doctrine, however, is a
fragrant contradiction of what is
implied in the Atlantic Charter,
although the wording of the doc
ument lends itself to a good deal
of Interpretation.
The definite position which
Russia has taken in regard to
her former boundaries extending
from the Baltic to the Black Sea
has caused considerable concern
among the nations which had
hoped that at the end of the war
a complete sovereignty would be
restored to them,
These nations have appealed to
the American and British Gov
ernments but 1t Is dificult for
Washington and London to take
any position which might appear
to oppose the point of view of
Moscow At time when the war
against the Nazis is in full swing
and Russia is playing the first
fiddle.
1t would be equally inappro-

and that when burdened with
tremendous responsibilities he
became steady and strong.
When Mr., Eden first visited us
in 1888, the American public
thought of him as "the best
dressed man in England. One
might say that one saw clothes
the clothes of the country that
for generations has decided
what the well-dressed man will
wear One saw Eton College
and the old-school tie"
One also saw a man of great
charm - almost, some people
thought, too much charm.
These have been Mr.. Eden's
handicaps in this rough, harsh,
fighting world.
These impressions recede into
the background when one sees
him today. Mr.. Eden is the
youngest foreign secretary that
England has known in modern
times, but the impression he now
makes is neither of elegance, nor
youth. One sees a mana strong
and obstinate man. The charm
is native and ineradicable. Quiet
intensity Of purpose overshadows
it. The character that was al
ways in him is now obvious. He
is not changed" man. But he
has developed enormously, more
obviously than any statesman
whom I can call to mind.
Showdown Character.
Character is not simply an in
herlted gift. 1t is earned and
developed by suffering fears,
Illustrations, designations with
out enlightenment and without
ever losing faith or losing sight
OF purpose. 1t is developed
under heavy responsibilities. Mr..
Eden has 1t. And in a showdown
character counts more amongst
the English than any other sim
gle quality. This is the source OF
Mr.. Eden's popularity. People
know they can depend on him.
Mr.. Eden is almost the sole
representative amongst British
statesmen Of the lost genera
ton"
That generation of young men
who fought in the front lines
OF the last war and had their
ranks so terribly decimated.
Britain, like France, has had to
depend for the most part on
leaders from a previous genera
tion-men over 60-or on young
men who have come up since the
last war. This is one OF the
tragedies Of Europe, and this
gap between the generations &C
counts for much that has hap

The Great Game of Politics

so plan along the lines suggested by
Mr.. Ruml and others. As these are
the two clearest, simplest. most ade-
quate and most effective ways Of
dealing with the problem. his oppo-
sition, which, of course, Is reflected
by the Treasury, produces a state OF
affairs bordering on the chaotic.
1t Is not surprising that with the
task of creating a tax bill OF un-
precedented proportions thus flung
into It's lap without any constructive
White House support or suggestion,
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee should founder and tumble.
Evidence that the job is Just too big
for 1t is given in the absurd COM
promises and patchwork proposals
which it already has decided upon.
The real hope is in the Senate.
Dangerous Symptom.
In the midst of all this fiscal
dizziness comes the statement of
the internal revenue collector at
Cleveland. where a decrease in re-
turns Of 80 per cent over last year
is already noted that many thou
sands of Cleveland war-plant work
ers are in rebellion, refusing to file
returns and defying the Govern
ment to do anything about it. No
more dangerous internal symptom
has been evinced within the United
States In A long time. II this sort
of thing, should become general the
Government would be helpless and
the results catastrophe.
Perhaps, coming at this time, the
Cleveland incident will turn out to
bs good rather than bad. It will be
good If the warning is sufficiently
needed by the President and Con-
gress, too. It will be good If it forces
enlightened and intelligent handling
Of the tax question. 1t will be good
If it forces the enactment OF a pay
as-you-go bill with withholding pro-
visions that will make such a threat
as is made by the Cleveland workers
impossible and their tax payments
unavoidable.
1t is deadly serious thing-this
threat Of the Cleveland workers
and well our Treasury officials know
it. Even without that threat. the
question of delinquencies is so great
and SO difficult that the more
thoughtful ones avoid public dis
cussion thereof. 1t is unthinkable
that the Treasury should not pro-
ceed promptly and with firmness
| against those who refuse to file.
And 1T is equally unthinkable that
Congress should not heed the warn
ing and act with reason. bravery and
patriotism. Clearly, the time has
arrived when political jockeying be-
tween Congress and the President
on this momentous issue is no longer
tolerable. There is the possibility
that We might be plunged into real
economic chaos II this tax business
continues to be handled as terribly
rs 1t has been.

Eden, os Representative Of Lost Generation
Determined Thut Next Peace Won't Be Lost

pened in Europe. Mr.. Eden be-
longs to that generation who won
the last war and saw what they
fought for lost. You may depend
upon it that he will not see that
happen again, if he can help it.
He owes debt to comrades
whose bones are dust.
In 1884, when he was 36 years
old. he became the youngest
member of the British govern
ment. In subsequent years he
became acquainted personally
with all the leaders Of Europe.
He was the first British states
man to visit Stain. AS a conse-
quence. he became the leading
advocate in the British cabinet
OF the League and collective
security. He was fighting for
peace-not by appeasement, but
by closing the ranks of those who
desired peace. Early in 1938-the
date was February 20-when he
saw that his policy was lost, he
resigned from the cabinet. His
resignation opened the way for
British tolerance of the Austrian
annexation by Hitler, and for
Munich later. In the hysterical
welcoming Of Chamberlain and
Daladier back from Munich, with
peace for our times" his was
one strong, dissenting voice. He
changed the phrase to peace for
six months
His hour struck again, not six
months, but A year later.
Meets Other Strong Men.
Mr.. Eden, arriving In Wash
ington, is meeting other strong
characters who have developed
through other careers. The major
ambassadors of the leading
United Nations in Washington
are more than ordinary career
diplomats. Mr.. T. V. Soong, who
Is sort of Ambassa dor -at-Large
for the Republic of China. is
China's Foreign Minister. Mr..
Litvinoff, Foreign Minister dur
ing most Of the history of the
Soviet Union, Is Russias out
standing advocate Of reconcilia-
ton with the Western democra-
cies and collective security. As a
matter OF fact, his temporary
resignation from Soviet affairs
and subsequent reinstatement
almost parallels Mr.. Eden's
career, and the two were inter-
related.
1t may be expected that other
personalities representative OF
the smaller United Nations will
join this illustrious gathering. We
should not, however, look for SEN
sational headlines from this con-
ference. 1t is not meeting to take
dramatic decisions. 1t is sober
exploratory conference over
problems of postwar political and
economic reconstruction. It is
spadework for the future.
Such conferences are becoming
normal part OF the war. They
are part Of the process of Great
ing the climate in which honest
dif1erences can be ironed out
None OF the leading men at this
conference has any reason to dis
trust another.
Mr.. Eden, for all the tradi-
journalism Of his manners. def
nitely belongs to that New
Britain that discerns the eyolu-
tionary spiral OF history. and far
from opposing 1t, afirms it and
assists to direct it.

peen nanoleo WIN more appalling
inadequacy.
Words ought no longer to be
minced about this business. Far too
much is at stake. 1t is elemental
to say that the soundness Of the
Federal finances is basic essential
not only for the preservation of
the American economic system
after the war, but for the success
of our arms in the war. If, through
imitation, or through f1abby and
f1accid tax program, or through a
botched and bungled fiscal policy,
or through the failure of a bond
issue or by any other means, the
money with which we are waging
this struggle becomes further de-
based and degraded, the conse-
quences will be such as no sane
citizen can contemplate with calm.
Yet, these consequences are be-
ing risked by the utter lack of
courage, character, knowledge and
ability with which the administra-
ton Is managing the financial end
OF the war. 1t has badly muddled
the manpower situation, the food
situation, the labor situation and
the price-control situation. There is
little dispute about these. Most per-
sons, even inside. concede that in
all these agencies things are in
bad way and reorganizatio both as
to personnel and policy is needed.
Worst Muddle of All.
But, of all the muddles, the fiscal
muddle is the worst and the most
dangerous.
Last year in his message to
Congress the President asked for
nine additional billion in taxes and
this year he asked Is additional
billion. And there he stops. Neither
from him nor from the Treasury
has there come sound, clear,
adequate program for raising the
money.
Actually, except for his negative
and unhelpful comments at his
Friday press conferences, the Presi-
dent appears to have forgotten the
fiscal problems altogether. He is
deeply interested in military and
naval strategy; he has evinced con-
Germ over the manpower muddle
by appointing a special committee
Of advisers to make recommended
tions, and he recently sent to the
Congress a complex and cloudy pro-
gram for the extension of the Fed
eral Security system to take care
Of everybody from birth to death.
But in the matter of taxes the
only certain things about the Presi-
dents attitude are his continued
opposition, first, to a general sales
tax and, second, to the pay-as-you-
