AS the plans which received their
final approval at the Quebec confer
ence start turning from ink and pa
per to moving men and machines,
the thoughts of other planners turn
toward another zero hour-"D" day.
The war is not over by any means
but hard-headed people who realize
that you can't wait until it rains to
prepare for rainy day know that
you can't wait until the sun comes
out to buy your summer clothes.
ID" day is as important as "M'
day. Decentralization is as big
problem as mobilization. Various
plans have been worked on, none
has been perfected. The President
has offered one. The Republican
party will offer another. Industry
will present it's program. The adj
ministration, whoever is at the helm
when peace comes, will have
heavy responsibility. The National
Resources Planning board has al
ready made report expressing its
opinions on plan drawn up by
special committee on postwar re-
adjustment which, at least, gives us
a point Of departure.
Plan Needed Nouu
The board points out that victims
of the war are already coming back
and the time is ripe. Only the other
day, I went through Walter Reed
hospital here and saw some of those
victims. Saw photographs Of the
conditions in which they come back
and others showing what medical
skill has done for them. I also saw
the workshops where wounded men
are being rehabilitated, fitted to take
up work which, in spite Of their
handicaps, they could learn to do.
This plan emphasizes the need for
an orderly rehabilitation. It is inn
portant to get every man who can
be spared from the armed forces,
the moment he can be spared with
out threatening the nations security,
back into civilian life. I know how
glad was when got out of uni
form into civvies after the last war.
But the report emphasizes that
still more important than speed is
order in rehabilitation. 1--WE not
only want the men out Of the armed
services; we want to get them into
peace services where skills and abil-
tiles can be fully recognized, uti-
lized and rewarded" That Is the
thesis of the planning board.
| Responsibility for the placement
of veterans in industry is acknowl-
edged by the unemployment divi-
sion of the selective service system
under the selective service act. The
selective service system is not per-
feet but considering the job it had to
do, it has worked out in a manner
that is triumph of the democratic
method. Draft boards are groups
of ''neighbors" who pass upon each
registrant, and on that basis, select
or reject him. The same system will
put the soldier back into his old job
if his old job is there, and if he can
fill it. But many had no jobs. Others
for one reason or another will be I'M
able to fill the ones they had before
the war. These cases must be taken

FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT AND
GEORGE WASHINGTON

Last Monday. President Roosevelt voic-
ed a fervent prayer for united effort
pointed toward eventual victory, apprO-
priately using the occasion OF George
Washingtons birthday for drawing COM
parisons with the Father of this country.
His deep Christian philosophy, inter-
twined in the war and anniversary theme,
effectively tied together the trials and
tribulatiOns Of the Revolution, and the
trials and tribulations of today. Doubt
less many received solace and courage
from his words.
More people could have gone all-out
with the President, had he not injected
into the pattern, both by inuendo and
direct reference, matters of politics and
war obiectives. We grieve that this APP
parently must be the case with so much
that our leader utters to the people, OF
whom he is the executive head and. there
fore, the chief servant
In these words, he drew similarity
between the days of Washington and the
days Of Roosevelt.
I'VE know that it was Washington's
simple steadfast faith that kept him to
the essential principles of first things
first. His sturdy sense of proportion
brought to him and his followers the abll-
itv to discount the smaller difficulties
and concentrate on the larger obJectlVeS.
And the Obiactives of the American ReVo-
luton were so large-So unllmlted-that
today they are among the primary obJec-
tiVes OF the entire civilized world.
The more one ponders these words.
the more we realize that they contain the
very foundation stones for honest dis
agreement.
Puttig first things first, Washington
concentrated his all-out effort to WIN the
war He did not defend 40-hour laws, or
double-time Sundays, or compulsory un-
ion membership or the details OF polltl-
cal party program.
Washingtons liability to discount the
smaller difficulties and concentrate on
the larger objactives" could certainly be
we should get down to brass tacks of
getting more production, of forgetting
power blocks and personal theories and
giving our soldiers all they need and
lot more.
Washington had disunited people be-
hind him because some could not see the
wisdom of the theory of self government
Roosevelt has behind him a people unit
ed in defending this nation and eraslng
its enemies from the face of the globe
The only disunity lies in the injection
Of internal social issues which should be
forgotten until the nation is completely
out of danger and in the question as to
whether the government is being properly
administered during this time of fire and
pain.
Yes, let US all, including Mr. Roosevelt,
put first things first and concentrate on
winning this war so that we may live to
determine at some later date, just what

WEATHER BREAKS

One factor in the German defeat
was that the bad weather broke af-
ter 10 days, allowing the Allied air
force to get into action on a big
scale.
The retreating Germans caught q
fury of cannon fire, machine gun
bullets, and bombs from Flying
Fortresses, Mitchells, Marauders,
BoStons, and British and American
fighters.
The Kasserine Pass was a roar
ing hell of exploding bombs. Mar
auder bombers, escorted by Lock-
heed Lightnings, swung back and
forth over the pass, scoring direct
hits on gun emplacements.
Flying Fortresses ranged over the
eastern side of the pass and bombed

Djebel Hamra alone the Americans
captured 300 Italians and enough
small arms and other weapons to
equip a battalion.
The Germans mace a desperate
attempt to disengage their armor
and infantry from the British in
the Thala area. But the British
tracked them every step of the way
in the retreat while American artil-
lery blasted away at the German
columns that were winding back
along roads over which they adj
vanced three days ago.
Then the Americans, timing their
action with the British, struck out
from the Djebel Hamra area and
forced the Axis troops back to with

Balkan Uncertainty

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 10 Renewed
rumblings of tension and uncer-
tainty in the Balkans-particularly
IN Bulgaria, where cabinet shake
ups, including the post OF foreign
minister, appeared mminent-have
led diplomats here to the conclusion
that Germany's European satellites
Will seek a way out OF the war be-
fore Germany falls.
Bulgarian Premier Debri Bojilov,
reported in dispatches to Stockholm
to be reshuffiing his cabinet as the
result OF Parliament's vote of no
confidence, was believed ready to
oust Foreign Minister Shishmanov
and take over the post himself,
Previously, Bojilov was reported
to have recalled his ENJOYS from
Berlin, Moscow and Ankara for con-
ferences on the new complica tions
arising from the Teheran and
Cairo conferences and the fear that
Turkey may be ready for a more
prominent part in the war.
Peace demonstrations, disturb
ances and arrests in Sofia and other
parts OF the country have been re-
ported In dispatches to neutral
capitals.
Nazis Expected to Fall Alone.
Bulgaria's predicament is partic-
ularly complicated by the fact any
Allied invasion of the Balkans is
likely to involve her in hostilities
with Russia. with whom she has
managed to remain at peace, al
though she bowed to German domi-
nation and entered the war against
Britain and the United States.
Hardened diplomats in London
are slow to accept any rumors of
peace, but they are becoming con-
vlnced that when Germany falls at
last she will fall all alone-de-
serted by her partners.
Turkeys entry into the Allied
camp all the way short of actual
fighting, would offer possible ave-
nue. to the Allies for the jittery
Balkans, it is believed,
AS oiy La pi coo ulplOmaLlC
correspondent asserted that once
Turkey makes her final decision
there lis almost certain to be an
intensive effort by the Axis satellites
IN that area to reach a separate
peace with the United Nations"
London also believes that the
Allies will insist on unconditional
surrender of every country that
sues for An armistice.
Perfect Allied Coalition.
AS for Turkey herself, one Turkish
newspaper reflected that country's
attitude toward the series of Allied
conferences in these words:
"All that is left to Germany is to
capitulate or be beaten by force of
arms. She is now faced with a per-
feet coalition both in the military
and political field"
German foreign Office spokesmen
have indicated that no Official Nazi
statements on the Inonu- Churchill
Roosevelt talks will be forthcoming
until Turkey makes some move or
declaration of her own.
