we have witnessed the drive to glorifv Of

It is not yet too late to block the Towering

But unless that philosophy is blocked, the
power that Mussolni once welded over the
people of Italy under 'fascism'' will be child's
play alongside the power of officials who con-

Seeking New Resources

the greatest treasure hunt in history.

out with complete success Hence the inves

is also for bauxite, alumite and high alumni
mum clay deposits, mica beryllium, flour
spur, tantalun, magnesium, tungsten, mo-
lybdenum. anthony, mercury. zinc copper
and a dozen, perhaps a score, other vital
metals.
Some success has accompanied the effort.
AS the search continues it will meet increas-
ing success. This is good because war needs
will be more easily filled. But another bene-
fit is to be foreseen in the discovery and
development of essential natural resources
when the war is over and the United States
takes inventory.
The heavy drains the war has created upon
our resources are not to be appraised at
this time, but it is competently announced
that many of the best of them are perilously
near exhaustion. If they should give out and
we should fail to find new sources, this coun-

A Decisive Battle

When the historians get around to it, they
are likely to find this battle Of the American
Fifth Army. at the Vulturno is to be rated
among the most decisive engagements Of
the entire war.
Starting when the terrain was rain-soaked
and the river and US tributaries were swollen,
General Clark sent forces to the north shore
by landing craft and such bridges as engi-
neers could hastily throw across the turbulent
river while other men swan over Bridge

Hitler is throwing all that he has into this
fight. When II is won, the Germans will have
suffered one OF their greatest defeats. They
will not only have lost battle in which the
elements combined with them but the gate

Rome stands for German power in Italy. With
Clark's Army securely across the Vulturno

Need More Br0ughtons

Governor Broughton's address before the
New York Board Of Trade gives his hearers
and government executives at Washington
something to ponder. There is no sound rea-
son why trade. aviation and shipping should
be among the 'unmentionables" and the 'un-
touchables,'' as he says.
They are vital subjects and the longer they
are lodged the greater becomes the posi-
bility that any or all of them will lead to
serious disagreements and trouble when the
war is won If, as he puts it, Allied unity is
so fragile as not to permit at this stage a
frank approach toward the realities of future
trade and international intercourse, it will
not long abide the conditions that will then
be faced
1t required a rare type of courage to say
a thing like that. 1t will take equal courage
in high places to admit it's truth, and even
greater courage to do what needs doing to
strengthen Allied unity. AS the matter now
stands, the chief nations allied in war against
the Axis appear as reluctant to face economic
truths as some persons are to visit doctor
when they secretly know something out of
the ordinary is the matter with them but
don't want to learn what it is.
There is immediate need for skilled dag
nosis of the Allies present condition and fu-
ture requirements. If it is neglected, Allied
unity is only too liable to die as thousands
Of disease victims die yearly because they
won't face the truth
Whenever trade and shipping and aviation
are mentioned there is an audible shush in
the room and someone forthwith speaks loudly
Of four freedoms to divert the talk into safer.
if unrealistic, channels.
The democracies will get no place fast at
this rate. The need is for more coura geous
souls like Governor Broughton to take down
the detour signs on the road to frank discus.
sion of postwar problems.

Black Markets Cure

One of the reasons for the failure OF pro-
hibition was the emphasis placed on punish
ment for violations. People grow rebellious
when threatened It became a joke to make
bathtub gin, home brew in the cellar and
wine in the pantry.
And the chief reason the ban on pleasure
driving was not effective was that drivers
knew a snooper was probably behind tree
to take them in the act. Whatever need
there may have been for conserving gasoline
was lost sight of as long as there was a
chance of outwitting the gestapo.
To considerable extent the same situation
exists with respect to black markets. Their
existence is wrong all counts There is
every good reason for avoiding their prod
ucts, But without emphasizing the reasons
why they are economically unsound their pa
tronage will continue heavy; long as threats
are the principal used for their eradication,
many otherwise cheerfully law-abiding citi-
zens will resort to them, if only to circum-
vent the law.
The cure for black markets is in the Bible
ITO him who knoweth to do right and doeth
It not, to him it is sin" This goes for gov
eminent which, through over-buying has Gre
ated artificial shortages and SO encoura ged
black markets, as for individual consumers
who patronize them.

hope he strikes bluntly, and
without being inundated by the
cheap politics of the Missouri Rep
ublicans. They propounded to Will
kie recently series of tricky ques-
tons which sound as if they were
inspired by something other than
a desire to deal intelligently with
the problems facing the United
States.
Republican organization ranks
are honeycombed with isolatlonists
who take the narrow view of Sena-
tor Taft instead of his father who
was president of the League of
Enforce Peace and who gave all of
his power and prestige in behalf
of the League of Nations. Willkie
is one of the few powerful Repub-
lican voices. 1t will be fortunate
for our political life he uses it
to save the Republican Party from
being merely a futile obstruction
in both domestic and foreign af-
fairs.
On the domestic side, neither
the Administration nor the Repub-
licans are preparing for the vast
unemployment that may hit the
United States when Uncle Sam
suddenly ceases to be the chief
customer of American industry.
The extent of the shutdown that
the end of the war may bring is
suggested by the fact that the Gov
crnment has financed 534 airplane
plants. and in all, more than Is
billion dollars of war industrial
facilities.
Some here in the Government
fear heavy unemployment. Not
much is being done about it. New
Deal planners are scattered now
and are either in service or in
other work. Congress denies funds
for planning. Mr.. Roosevelt does
not seem interested enough to
make a fight for it.
