about which the pictures group
themselves naturally.
1t is true that the general theme
of the book is the United States at
war, and that with minor excep-
lions, the pictures could not have
come from a nation not at war. at
least not without generous help
from Sam Goldwyn and his Holly
wood brethren. But, as Mr.. Malo-
ney shows, there are 10000 Army
photographers and 5000 Navy pho
tographers in addition to the pic
ture services, the magazines and
just for the hell of it. Their pro-
duct is overwhelming, and often
very useful. But much of it is
trash, hundreds of thousands of
pictures are still out of bounds,
and it is physically impossible for
any two men to survey the world
product in the time available.
So the book is a curious hodge
podge. Some of the pictures are
genuinely terrific and colossal in
the Hollywood meaning of the
words, and some are merely
funny.
Leafing the book is more like
running through the incoming"
bin of The Associated Press
Photo Service than anything I
can think of.

Veterans OF Proved Ability

Before the 'trans-cnannel invasion is started,
General Eisenhower, who is to direct all oper-
ations in western Europe, obviously proposes
to batter German defenses, industries and
communications so destructjvely that the final
thrust may be made at minimum cost IN
lives and equipment This preliminary cam
paign falls to the Allied air forces.
It would seem to be Genera Eisenhower S
intention to bomb the invasion coast as ef-
fectively as Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Essen
and other German war centels have been
bombed. and as the recent 1900 plane raid
upon it indicates. Such massing Of air power

British Eighth Army drove Rommel out of
Africa, and organized and spread the air UNI

In his article dealing with the Western front
assault, Simpson does not mention that Gen

pointment to new post is significant as in

an -interview-he was not too complimentary
OF some Of the things the Allies have been

The fact that he was in the thick of things

Raymond Clapper Says:
Rail And Steel Strikes
Against The Government

avarice Of labor, the answer of
labor is to strike at the two most
vital war industries. Labor's friend
in the White House asks that they
keep war industries going, n d
stay at work, and he promises
fair adjustment of their demands.
The plea is ignored. Thousands
walk out In some localities the
steel strikers carry placards say
ing: mo contract, no work."
What JOY this must bring to Ber-
lin! You know the NaZi propa-
ganda line being put out through
Turkey. 1t is that if the German
army will hold out until after the
American election, the people in
America will get rid Of Roosevelt
and quit the war. Strikes against
war industries help the Nazis keep
the war going.
1t is enough to make President
Roosevelt wish he was Westbrook

Daily Prayer
FOR COMFORT

In apartness of spirit, and in the
loneliness of grief, we turn from
the indifferent wared to Thee our
all comprehending Father and
Saviour. Sometimes our burden OF
separation and sorrow seems more
than we can bear. Our dear ones
are far away, amidst perils that
we cannot understand; and we
dread each ring at our doors, lest
it be message of casualty.
Friends are kind, but they do not
fully understand. And the lot Of
the lonely, fear-filled wives and
mothers has become commonplace
to them. We turn to Thee, o low
ing Lord, in desperate need and
prayer. Only Thy perfect synpa-
thy and Divine Power can comfort
us. May the quiet heart and stead
fast purpose of the Man of Sorrows,
who was acquainted with grief, be
impaired to us. In the darkness of
these solitary days may His COM
fort and companionship be real to
us. We pray for His strength in
our weakness. When our spirits

The Compromise With Labor

! The decision of three racelcitrant railWa.
brotherhoods to cancel their st1 Ike order re
moves a grave threat to the war program
No less heartening is the tact that as resul
of their action the nations rail systems will
speedily be freed from government operation
which was such a costly failure in the former
World war;
But it must be remembered that the com
promise upon which this action is based in
wolves a partial surrender by the admins
tration at Washington. 1t demonstrates anew
the ascendency of organized labor and the
inability of the administration to control either
the labor situation or stem the rising tide
of initiation.
The government having failed to curb the
increasing cost of living by artificial means,
the rail workers are entitled to al advance III
pay quite as much as employees in any other
industry and cannot justly censured for
demanding it. even though their proposal to
strike if they did not get it is reprehensible
in this war time.
The real fault lies with the government
itself which took the frs. step toward infla-
ton when it started to write blank checks for
war industries and so gave tens of thousands
of workers, many of them unskilled, more
money than they had ever dreamed Of pos
sessing-and spending.
The claim that this was necessary to as
semble a tremendous working force for war
plants is not logical when at the same time
other tens Of thousands CT young men were
being drafted for military service at $50 a
month-a pittance IN comparison with the
wages OF the least skilled workers in indus
try. With the American people subjected to
such RECOMMENDATION as had never been enforced
in the country's history, the one case in which
it might be justified in the war emergency
the RECOMMENDATION Of labor-has been avoid
ed, we must assume for political purposes
If men could be drafted for the armed
services it is impossible t. think they could
not with equal justice be drafted for work in
the industries that must supply them with the
tools of war, and required tc work at rates
OF pay to which they were accustomed in
peace time. BY restricting their spending
power as this would have done, the first
line of defense against initiation would have
been created.
AS long as it was not done, and as there
is no indication it ever will be Gone, it must
be obvious that any government attempt to
control initiation, by a little steel formula or
other artificial device, is door'ed to failure
The persistent employment OF compromise
with labor in wage disputes as a government
policy makes it silly to talk Of hating or
uprooting, initiation Every time Washington
uses it initiation becomes more firmly en-
trenched.
