Problems Ahead

Surely nobody can take issue with the
idealiSm of those postwar planners
typified by Vice-President Wallace who
are thinking out loud how the four free
domS can be made worldwide after we
defeat the Axis. The trouble is, Mr..
Wallace and others seem to be overlooking
some very practical difficulties which are
as deep-rooted as human nature and the
principles of democracy. It is not easy
to determine from the attractive archi-
tects' drawings whether the planners
expect their beneficiaries to welcome a
ready-made suit Of postwar rehabilita-
ton. OF course we could try to hand
the rest of the world what we think it
ought to like, take it or leave it. Pre-
Sumably Mr.. Wallace, believing in de-
nocracy, does not have that alternative
in mind. Consider the intense factional
differences among Frenchmen. We and
the British are freeing North Africa from
Axis military domination, preparatory to
nberating metropolitan France.
could forget their theological differences
long enough to help drive out the Ger
mans - but they can't, or won't. They
quarrel among themselves, with us, with
the British, at time when the only fight
should be against Germans and Italians.
The same is true in Jugoslavia, where
a spontaneous native guerilla opposition
to the Nazis is forced to battle against
Soviet-inspired anti-German movement,
the PartisanS, although by cooperation
these two forces might well prove strong
enough to create an effective second
front. When we get around to applying
the four freedoms to France and to Ju-
goslavia, with whom are we going to deal?
In JugoSlavia do we purpose to deal
with General Mikhailovich, whose adj
herents apparently are a minority, or
with the Soviet-sponsored Partisans? II
we select MikhailoVitch, with whom pres
emily we are in accord, how shall we justi-
fy that with democratic principles-and
what is going to be Russia's reaction?
Specifically we must make up our minds
whether we are going to help the world
as good neighbors or whether we purpose
to clean house for the liberated nations
and take over control Of their economic
and political economies for reconstruc-
ton purposes? Until we decide that, we
cannot plan intelligently.

Selective Service

Return of draft supervision to the
Army is being agitated. Chairman May
of the House Military Affairs Committee
says he would support such a change. In
considering any such proposal one fact
should be kept in mind: Neither Mr. Nc
Mutt now nor General Hershey has had
any policy CONTROL as to the number OF
men to be conscripted or as to classified
tons. Selective Service is purely admin
istrative. The Army (and now the Navy?
Congress decides whence they shall come.
Selective Services Job is routine. Isn't
this an argument for civilian administra-
ton, closely co-ordinated with the prob
lens of industrial manpower?
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-02-06

Believe it or not, there is one be-
deviled government agency = In Wash
ir1gton, too which is anxious to get
along with tn eminimum Of manpower
actually needed at any given time. 1t
is the Army's ordnance department. Gen.
eral Campbell has directed, in two spe-
cific orders, that any arsenal whose oper-
atoms are curtailed shall release surplus
employees for the benefit of industries
needing their skillS, and has stated
guiding principle which might well be
framed anG hung in every personnel
office in the country: "All activities
must be properly manned. However, no
activity will be permitted to carry
reserve of manpower against unforeseen
contingencies.

Misguided

Luigi Antonini New York labor
leader, says he was misquoted as to as
sertions that the Office of War 1nforma-
ton was trying to force acceptance OF
Communists on an Italian-American Vic
tory Committee. Previously, on two
occasions (once in writing) Antonini said
fatty that two Owl officials tried to
obtain inclusion of Reds in the Victory
Committees Thereafter, comforting with
the owl men, Mr. Antonini became per-
suaded that they had done no such
thing. Instead of conceding that he
had been badly informed or that he had
spoken without checking his facts, the
labor leader tried to place the blame on
the press by alleging misquotation. This
usually is the background of charges by
men in public life: that they have been
nisquoted. Seldom is one naive enough
to make the case against himself as clear
as Mr.. Antonini did.

FREEZING AUTOS -.
Many auti-freeze mixtures being
sold today are nothing much but
salt water. This prevents freez-
ing, but also causes corrosion.
The Bureau Of Standards has
made tests Of the anti-freeze
preparations now on the market,
and finds that many are mere
ly solutions Of salt, plus chemi-
Gals intended to prevent corro-
sion. But these chemicals, though
they may work In laboratories,
do not work in the automobile,
and the mixture does considerable
harm.
Best way to test an anti-freeze
mixture, according to Bureau OF
Standards, Is to put o little In an
iron frying pan (not aluminum)
and boil It until the liquid has
evaporated. If there Is a resi-
Que of brine, you know you have
been sold salt water - in fancy
can at a fancy price.
One reliable anti-freeze these
days Is alcohol - II you can get

Tom Girdler, the old steel man who is
making Liberator bombers in San Diego,
says his engineers are working day and
night on a mastodon which will make
present day giants look like toy planes.
The new behemoth, which is planned to
the point where production could begin,
could carry crew and 400 passengers
across the Atlantic in a few hours, or
equivalent super-quantities of armament
and military supplies. Girdler doesn't say
whether he has this machine in mind
when he predicts that tomorrow air
speeds Of four to five hundred miles an
hour will be commonplace. This infor-
nation is dedicated unexpectedly to

People of Europe are managing
to stay alive on hope and faith,
but with this revival there is a
dangerous wave of hatred and
bitterness. The English boy can
still jovially refer to his enemy
as the ferries, for the enemy is
yet an abstract thing to him. It
is the army of occupation, taking
over the supplies In your stores
and shops, ordering you out OF
your homes on two hours notice
that breeds a kind OF hatred that
will take generations to dispel.

We Believe This

About many things said by highly
placed Germans we are skeptical, but
we cannot doubt the sincerity with which
Grand Admiral Doenitz, new Nazi naval
chief, promises intensification of "inex-
orable U-boat warfare" Even in the
Atlantic, Notwithstanding diversion of
submarines by the African campaign,
there has been a stepping up of ship sink
ingS. There are reports of new long
range underwater raiders capable of do
ing great damage. We have most fronts
under apparent control, but we cannot
take heart about the shipping front.
There is much bad news still to come
from there.

Radcliffe announced that he
was planning to offer a bill to
nullify Section 902, the so-called
enhancement clause" Of the
Maritime Act Of 1886.
This provides that when ships
are seized by the government,
shipowners shall be paid pre-war
prices, not prices enhanced by the
emergency.
Comptroller General Lindsay
Warren since has ruled that all
ship prices must be governed by
the market value Of ships on Sep
TENDER 8, 1889 - the date Of an
emergency proclamation by the
President. But the shipping lobby
l.; demanding that the enhance
ment clause" be amended to make
1t possible for them to receive
the 1913 "gOing marke" price, not
the 1899 price, for ships seized
by the government or sunk.
Senator Radcliffe didn't go this
far, but he favored legislation
permitting shipowners to see the
government in the Court Of Claims
for the difference between the
September 8, 1889, price and the
1943 estimated price.
CLARK SHOOTS AT PROFITS
However, the Marylander's eff
forts to sell the committee on
the compromise" ran into a rough
stiff-arm from Clark Of Missouri
"YOur proposal, II enacted,
would open the door to the col
lection Of millions Of dollars Of
unearncd profits from the gov
ernment," Clark told Radcliffe.
"A great number Of the ships
we're built before the emergency
when labor and material costs
were low, yet you would make 1t
possible for the owners to col
lect the full 1913 market value
for them.
Furthermore, your proposal
would mean that the govern
ment would, in effect, be buy

Radcliffe argued that there was
legal ground for believing that the

paid for property requisitioned by
the government.

INTERFERENCE
Hartford Tines

Something new in Federal influ-
ence on strictly intrastate affairs
is seen in the Intervention of the
Office of Price Administration in
an application of bus companies to
the Public Utilities Commission for
rate increases to cover toll bridge
charges. The OPA opposes the APP
plications of the New Haven and
Shore Line Railway Company and
the Connecticut Company, which
will operate buses over the new
bridge across the, Thames between
Groto and New London, to pass on
to their passengers the 35-cent toll
which the State is to collect for
each bus using the bridge.
BY authority of Congress the
OPA may intervene in such petit
tons. Utilities petitioning for gem
eral rate increases" must notify the
OPA at least 30 days before such a
petition is filed, and indicate their
willingness to have the OPA in
tervene.
In wartime such interference Of
the federal government In strictly
interstate affairs may be justifiable.
but 1t still Is Objectionable. The
theory behind the act Of Congress
Is that the OPA Is charged with
control of prices, and that prices

Let's have another cup of coffee has
become more or less of a legend; if 1t
hasn't, it soon will be. There are places
where you can still order, for added
monetary settlement, second cup Of
coffee. But such a request in most
eateries is anathema. We note recent
ruling in New York restaurants where
only a small cup of coffee will be served
with dinner. Many are satisfied with
a demi-tasse after dinner, but just as
many always want a large cup of coffee,
whether breakfasting, lunching or din
ing. The serving Of small cup OF COT
fee to all diners would certainly do much

Price ChiseIing

A fact-finding commission in New York
has confirmed what every housewife in
the country has long known - that the
price ceiling system is not working so
far as meats are concerned. There is no
way, apparently, that the shortages in
this field can be eliminated. But serious
flaws in distribution could be controlled
by rationing, and price chiseling could
be minimized, if a real study of the situa-
ton were made and its lessons were
applied.

(New York Times)


p. President Ryti of Finland opened
the 1943 session Of the Riksdag
with words which can only be con-
strued as an attempt at reconcilia-
ton with the United Nations. "Ci-
vilized nations" he said, t''can never
sing so low as not to acknowledge
the rights Of a nation to fight for
its life and freedom" We were
glad to acknowledge those rights
when Russia attacked Finland in
1899. We are not ready to ac-
knowledge Finland's right to join
Nazi Germany in the attack on
Russia in 1941. But the truth
seems to be that the Films are re-
penting their German bargain. This
week at least one of the Helsinki
newspapers protested fatty against
Marshal Goering's assertion that
aRussia's war against Finland was
perhaps the cleverest and greatest
camouflage In world history" The
Firms like to think that their own
fighting qualities had something to

HAUNTED CITY


marjorie Dugdale Ashe in The New York Tines
The rust red dries on the paving stones
In Stalingrads bare streets;
The flesh turns black on stiffening bones,
Where the proud heart no more beats;
For hope had tainted In Stalingrad,
Revived and lives again,
stiffness crouches like one gone mad,
Turned crazy with fright and pain;
The buildings stare with their hollow eyes,
The bleak trees stand amazed
A dark bird, high up. descends and cries,
And q lost child wanders dazed.
Yes. stalinsrad. your highways are paved
With young and fearless boys;
Each echoing footstep rings out, "savedl"
