GOOD ADVICE TO CONGRESS

Mrs. Frances P. Bolton, member of
Congress from Ohio, recently admonished
the House of Representatives to stop bick-
ering and face the stark realities of global
war
She appealed to the House as moth
er of two sons in active service, to evaluate
every bit of legislation by the sthought Of
our men overseas who ARE facing the
sheer realities of the most brutalizing war
in all history
Mrs. Bolton does not believe that the
men who see death on every hand are sin
terested in overtime payments or con-
cerned with PARTIES, with subsidies, or with
crop penalties
The lady asked Congressman to 'set
aside every suggestion of sectionalism and
selfish interest and to lift themselves 'sout
of all pickering and disorder She asks
that the basic intent and purpose of every
thing undertaken be to further the war
effort and to protect our economy
This is good advice, whether Congress
takes it or not.

COMMUNISTS WANT SECOND FRONT

The Communists in Great Britain
are demanding a second front, asserting
that for the majority of the people of Lon
don the 'war has almost ceased to exist.
II is evident that the Communists of
Great britain are more concerned with
what is happening in Russia than in the de-
velopment of weIl-timed, thoroughly pre-
cared Anglo-American attack against Italy
or Germany.
Naturally, every Allied citizen should
be concerned with what happens to the Red
army, which is now Keeling backward in
the Kharkov area, under violent counter
attack from the Nazis This concern, how
ever, does not Justify precipitate action
which, in the long run, would not assist Rus
STA.
We find it hard to understand British,
or American, citizens whose interest in the
war seems to be centered mainly upon a
second front to relieve the Russians. That
this is part of the Allied program every
body understands. The only question Is
whether the Allied general staffs will be
permitted to select the place and time of the
offensive or whether public opinion will
force immediate action.
Ga this subject we urge all Americans
permit leaders OF the Allied armed forces
to fight the war in their own way. Ordi-
nary citizens including newspaper writers,
cannot possess the iniormationnecessary to
determine the time Of cur offensive against
he Axis
1t is also vitality necessary for every.
American to keep the W ar situation strai ght
The Russians are. fighting solely because
they were attacked; they did not go to the
aid OF the British beforehand, nor are they
doing anything to help the Anglo-American
combination against Japan. Moreover. it
is extremely doubtful if they will in the fu-
ture.
Our war plans must not be executed
solely with an eye on helping Russia They
must be carefully undertaken with full
knowledge of the possibility that we will be
fighting when Russia is at peace, and the
extreme chance that, with the British, we
may be fighting the Axis and Europe and
Japan at the same time.
We do not intend to criticize the Rus
sians. They have earned place in the world
and must be considered in any postwar set
tlenlents. The valiant fight of the Red army
has been ofinestimable service to the cause
of freedom, regardless of motives that i'm
