Maj. George Fielding Eliot

tactical use Of gas by the Germans Is
definite possibility. Gas is. in general,
more effectively employed by the de-
fense than by the attack; this applies
particularly to persistent gases. The
Germans have not used gas against
civilian populations, probably because
their own is none too we'll protected
against it. But that would not be a
deterrent against its use on the battle
field. and it is altogether possible that
they have worked out new technioues
for its employment against the large
concentrations Of personnel which will
be required for an invasion attempt in
the west. The high command of the
United Nations must be prepared
against this, and against any other
defensive methods which the enemy NAV
adopt
The preparation of great offensive
takes time, thought and infinite at
tentlon to detail. No one save the
enemy Is aided if such an offensive is
launched too soon or under the wrong
conditions, or in insufficient strength.
AS to the case under consideration, so
much is staked upon it as to render it
doubly necessary that every contingency
be foreseen, every enemy defense fore
stalled, and above all that every ounce
OF available effort be concentrated in
order to achieve success

satisfaction the uproar and howls OF
criticism in this country over the cas-
ualties at Salerno and Tarawa. That's
the sort of thing that makes them rub
their hands in anticipation. If they
could only pitch really big invasion
army back into the Channel, with really
big casualties, they calculate that they
might be able to get compromise
peace instead of that unconditional sur
render, which so terrifies them.
Unconditional surrender means that
the major Allies will be able to put into
effect long-term plan for restraining
German and all other aggression, will
be able to act in unity for the building
of peaceful world, an organized peace
which will leave no future opportunity
for the development of the herrenvolk
idea, world which Germans can never
hope to dominate. That is what fright
ems the German leaders. They cannot
bear the thought of it. That is why
they snatch at straws why they may
well be hoping now that We shall do
something foolish, make mistake of
which they can take advantage.
A good deal of the German propa-
ganda about Germany's weakness, about
fighting to the bitter end, etc., ETC., is
intended to convey to the minds Of our

More Buyonet Censorship

While the Atlantic Coast Line is
investigating the causes of it's North
- Carolina wreck, the Army should
investigate the astonishing conduct
of its military police assigned to the
scene of the accident. From the
accounts available, the MP's were
taking their orders from the railroad
officials and doing everything pos
sible to hamper newspaper reporters
and photographers from getting de-
tails of the tragedy which the public
Is entitled to know. The attitude of
the railroad officials was stupid
enough. 1t is outrageous that the
Army was used to give it force.
Director of Censorship Byron Price
referred recently to the extent of
wholly unauthorized censorship
practiced by unofficial censors. The
newspapers can overcome a certain
amount OF that sort of thing. But
as civilians are in no position to
argue with armed MP's, the effective
remedy should be prompt court
martial of the officers who exceed
their authority in dealing with the
public. There is a growing resent
ment against suppression of news
by the bayonet and there is no
reason why the Army should oe used
to help railroad officials cover up
the facts of major disaster.

important But Limited

NO elaborate hopes should be built
on the report that cancer of the
prostate now can be "completelv
controlled" by the synthetic female
sex hormone called diethylstilbestrol
Recent news stories on this subject
unless read with a sense of persnec-
tive, can be tragically misleading and
nave, IN fact, already given rise to
the unfortunately false impression
that science is within reach of some
easy cure for carcinoma in general
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Actually, in making the report
few days ago, DR.. E. C. Dodds of
London University made a special
point OF emphasizing that the devel-
opment, as far as is known, has value
solely in respect to the prostate. 1t
represents an important and heart
enlng advance, of course, but it's
limitations are very definite, the fact
being that cancer itself is not a
single disease but a group of diseases.
In the lung it is one thing, in the
liver another and on the tongue vet
another, and each form requires it's
own peculiar kind of treatment.
Thus, according to the National
Cancer Institute here in Washing
ton, Dr. Dodds' announcement holds
out no sensational promise as far as
other forms of carcinoma are con-
cerned. Perhaps it may open up
fruitful new fields of research, but at
present it applies only to cancer of
the prostate and not to cancer else
where in the body. Indeed, the use
of diethylstilbestrol is still more or
less experimental even in this limited
sense, for science has not yet had
enough time to determine with GER
tainty whether it is truly as effective
as initial results indicate. Moreover,
despite the drugs striking perform
ance up to now, there is some reason
to believe that it is inferior to
surgery.
Within its limits, however, diethyl-
stilbestrol is certainly a significant
new weapon In mankind's centuries

said, rather cynically, that there are
times when men must rise above prin-
ciple."
The recent outbreak in the Senate,
however when Democratic Senators
Byrd of Virginia, Bailey of North Caro-
lima and Smith of South Carolina de-
nounced the attitude of the New Dealers
toward Southern Democratic Senators,
was the outcropping of bitter feeling
that has been long brewing What it
preSages, it is too early to prophesy with
exactness. Certainly it has caused much
worry to the New Dealers and their
fellow travellers, just as did the political
revolt in Kentucky's recent election.
They fear that in 1914, as Mrs Luce
said, "the electorate will certainly decide
to throw the switch on the New Deal"
1t is quite true that the Republicans
are fussing today over their ''personali-
ties" That is always the case with any
party when there is more than one can
didate in the field for a presidential
nomination. But whether Mrs. Luce Is
entirely correct in her estimate of unity
in the party on governmental policies
may be another question. Certainly
Wendell L. Willkie would not agree that
he and some other Republican leaders
see eye to eye on foreign and domestic
policy. among them former Gov. Alf
Landon of Kansas. And it is extremely
doubtful he would agree that his ideas
and those of Gov. Bricker of Ohio are
on all fours-or those of Gov. Dewey of
New York, although Mr. Dewey is not
a candidate for the nomination.

The Democrats are having trouble

Without discussing candidates by

conceptions about foreign and domestic

This Changing World

Little ampliflcation of the military
plans can be expected. After the first
Cairo conference we were given the
blueprint of our military strategy in
the Pacific, which is the utter destruc-
ton of the japanese Empire. The
means of attaining the announced ob-
jective must, of course, remain secret.
The present very successful operations
in the Pacific are only preliminary to
whatever major operations were plan
ned at Cairo.
The official communique on the talks
at Teheran was equally complete as far
as war plans are concerned. 1t said
that the Allies who are fighting Hitler
will work in full harmony and deliver
fatal blows from the east, the south
and the west.
The battles in the south and east are
now in progress. When operations from
the west will start is another military
secret which will be revealed when the
first American British detachments
land on the beaches of France, Bel
GUM, Holland or Denmark
The second Cairo conference init
mated that Turkey will 60 to war on
our side, either actively or by lending
us harbor and airfield facilities. This
depends, of course, on the success of
military operations in the east, the
west and in Italy or any other theater
of operations in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean. There is little light that Mr.
Roosevelt can throw on these matters
without giving aid and comfort to the
enemy.
But there Is strong hope that he

will be able to throw much more light
than was contained in the official COM
muniques about the political matters
which were discussed and agreed on
at Cairo and particularly at Teheran.
There may be secret SO far as Brit
ain and Russia are concerned. But it
is not conceivable that the President
believes in secret diplomatic matters.
His intense interest in justice for all
nations, big and small, is well known.
His humanitarian principles have been
fully Endorsed by the people of this
country and it is not conceivable that
he has changed them.
All kinds of rumors are floating about
that under certain conditions there
should be compromises which might
make it appear that these principles
have been abandoned and that certain
amount of realism is essential when so
many nations with divergent view
points are fighting a common enemy
together. Unquestionably some realism
is needed, but there is a great differ
ence between making concessions in re-
gard to minor questions and giving up
an entire policy which is this country's
stock in trade in her intercourse with
other nations
No such thing could have happened
at Teheran. But unless frank expose
OF the situation and explanations which
could not be detailed in short COM
muniques are given by the President,
there will be an atmosphere of doubt
which might have wide repercussions
at home and abroad

high command the theory that with one
good push it would be all over. That,
of course, is to some extent true-if the
push is strong enough and can be kept
going once it has started.
The fact is, as has been pointed out
in these articles on previous occasions,
that the invasion of Western Europe by
a great Anglo-American Army must be
the decisive blow in this war When
that attack comes, it must come at a
time and under conditions which will
assure it's being in fact decisive. 1t
must hit hard enough to make its land
ings good despite the best opposition
the enemy can offer: and having made
them good it must have behind it the
reserve strength to enable it to continue
to advance, and to defeat all the force
that the enemy can possibly concen-
trate to oppose it. 1t must, further
more, be so thoroughly co-ordinated
with the Russian efforts that the enemy
cannot have any freedom of action,
cannot weaken his Russian front
temporarily without Immediately suffer-
ing full-scale disaster.
We must realize very fully-and there
is every evidence that our high COM
mand does reaize-the necessity for
withholding this decisive blow until its
success is assured, both by assembled
striking power and by attrition of enemy
resources and reserves on other fronts
and by air bombardment. To attack
on such scale and to be defeated with
heavy loss would have so profound a
moral effect as to be catastrophe.
In this connection, it may be sug-
gested that some of the German propa-
ganda about their new and terrible
weapon thinted to be rocket batteries
on the shore of the Strait of Dover
may be intended to lure us into pre-
mature attack. If the Germans could
convince our high command that they
were about to obliterate London by such
means, the temptation might be very
strong to attack at once and thus put
an end to that danger.
+
Also we might keep in mind that the

On the question of foreign policy, Gov.
Bricker made it clear he would oppose
any super government of the world.
We want no super government, no die
tatorial state to which we are subservi-
ent." he said we want no central
world authority over u.s." He did stand,
however, for IAN international co-opera-
tive organization, whatever precise form
it may take" He did not say how far
he was willing to 60 in the organization
of nations to compel peace or that he
would 60 along that route at all. On
the other hand, Gov. Bricker did say:
Our desires for peace must be imple-
mented by practical and definite pro-
gram. The details will be worked out in
the light of developing conditions and
after full conference and open discus
sion. Our peace ultimately must rest on
the understanding and approval of the
people of the United States. The preser-
vation Of peace is constant and con-
tinuing obligation"
Gov. Bricker was much more forth
right in his discussion of the domestic
policy Of government, turning his guns
on New Deal bureaucracy.
1--WE have been living" he said, for
decade under growing absolutism
Unless these policies are reversed by the
American people they will Enthusiastically

His figures on the army of civil employees
Of the Federal Government were
startling, In June, 1888, there were
$4,000 of these Federal employees. By
November, l94l, there were 100000 and
at present the estimate is 3.5o00O0 In
Ohio, he said. there were 100000 Federal
civilian employees, as compared to $4,000
State employees.
Just as the Republicans are counting
upon split in the Democratic party,
the Democrats are hoping for a serious
split between Wif1kic Republicans and
those who are supporting Bricker, Dewey,
Warren and other Republican ross!-
bllltles. If Mrs. Luce is correct the
Democratic hopes will be in vain.

Letters to The Star
Waters Family of Printers
We're Leaders in Craft,

To the Editor Of The Star:
On reading the article, "Washing-
tons Pioneer Printers" by John Clagett
Proctor, in The Sunday Star for No.
vember %, I was surprised to note that
no mention was made of one of the
Oldest printing establishments in this
city, namely, that of r. A. Waters and
Son.
In the book, Historical and Com
mercial Sketches of Washington and
Environs," edited by E. E. Barton, and
printed in 1884, there appears the fol-
lowing sketch:
The firm of R. A. Waters e. Son,
corner Fifteenth and streets NV. is
undoubtedly the oldest establishment
In this line in Washington The busi-
ness was founded by Mr.. Waters when
washington City was yet a village, and
snlpe shooting was common in the
sWamps where now the Center Market
stands, and 50 years ago was the only
frst-class printing house in this city.
Mr.. Waters is native of this city.
where he has lived for period of
10 years. He formerly had the con-
tract for the State Department print
Ing until the time of the establishment
OF the State Department branch of
the Government Printing Office. He
was one Of the military cadets who
received Lafayette at the steps of the
east front of the Capitol on his visit
to this country, and was an apprentice
under Col. Peter Force, under John
Quincy Adams administration, and is
at present one of the oldest inhabitants
OF this metropolis. This house makes
specially of legal printing, blanks,
briefs, cards and all other kinds of Job
work. Mr.. Waters is ably assisted by
his son. j. S, Waters, native of this
city, and compositor and proof reader
of rare ability"
My late husband, j. B. Waters, was
the youngest son of the R. A. Waters
mentioned in this sketch and an ap-
prentice in his fathers establishment.
From his father he received a printers
mallet which the latter had received
from Col. Peter Force, and which origi-
nally had belonged to Benjamin Frank
lin, under whom Col. Peter Force learn
ed his trade. This mallet was later
given to the Oldest Inhabitants Associ-
alton. We have at present in our pos
session set Of five cuts given to my
husband by his father and described
by the latter as follows:
These are the five original cuts of
the Departments. State, Treasury, Army
and Navy, and the Presidents House
and were engraved by Thorp in 1921, on
hard wood to illustrate Col Peter
Forces national calendar
We have also copy of the Corpo-
ration Laws of the City of Washington
to the End of Fiftieth Council, prepared
and published by order of the Corpora
ton of Washington. and printed by
