HOME FRONTS CAN.
WIN OR LOSE WAR.
SHOWN TO BE AS IMPORT.
ANT IN MANY WAYS AS
MILITARY FRONT
BY HERBERT HOOVER

Written For Associated Press
So important is the .hUne front
of the enemy in its bearing on our
military strategy that by its cor
rect or incorrect appraisal the
lives of hundreds of thousands of
American boys might be saved or
lost. And healthy home fronts in
the United Nations are essential
TO win the war.
The strategy in global war is
not solely a military question. In
total war between great nations,
the home front is, in many ways,
as important as the military front.
Wars can be lost or won on the
home front. Germany lost the
last war by exhaustion and coll
lapse of the home front which
weakened her army. France
would have collapsed on the home
front in the third year of that war
had it not been for American sup
port to the civilian population.
There have been explosions of
Western civilization into world
wars before but total war was
new in 1914. Great nations in total
war, in addition to military forces,
now pit against each other their
total resources, the total emotions,
the skill, the sacrifice, the work
of every adult civilian. It becomes
a contest of strength, spirit and
endurance of civilians against
civilians, as we'll as between
armies and navies. Today the only
limitation on the size of the mill
tary forces is the number of men
who can be spared from the two
jobs of producing arms and sup
plies for the military front and
keeping the civilian population
alive.
Civilians Fight Too
And total war is not alone COM
bat between armed men. 1t is also
war between armed men and civ
ilianS. Since the last total war the
improved airplane and submarine
have immensely increased the
power of attack upon civil popula-
ton and their war efforts. The i'm
proved submarine through its in
tenSiifed sinking of ships in
creases the power of blockade;
the plane works to relieve and in
tensify it. The improved plane and
the improved tank have increased
the power of land offensive and
made the blitz possible. On the
other hand, the airplane has inn
mensely increased the power of
defense against invasion by sea,
making it practically impregnable
if the sea is wide enough or there
are land-based planes enough.
And the radio has increased the
power of propaganda.
The United Ntions have now
closed iron rings around the Euro
pean and the Asiatic axis. But
both of them still have tremen-
dous powers of defense through
their powerful armies with inter
ior lines of communication and
their air and submarine protec-
ton from overseas invasion. ia
pan has, in addition, great naval
strength.
With the occupation by United
Nations of bases in North Africa
and the Pacific, with the growth
of our naval, air and ground
strength, the ring around them
grows closer and closer. But fo1
some time to come the war is OBJ
viously a war of aggressive at
triton and the creation of condi-
tions favorable for major combat
blows. That attrition is just as vi
tai on the home front as on the
military front. And our powers OF
attrition and combat are increas.
ing more rapidly than the Axis.

Lewis, Farm Lobbies
 Cooperating In Plan
Well.IniOrmed Sources Report Possibility of Joint 2 Agreement to Boost Wages, Farm Prices

As Q result of the rebuf which the farm heads feel they have been given In seeking price powers for Davis, there was renewed interest in the Bankhead and Pace bills. one farm head polled farm bloc leaders yesterday and was assured that they have the votes to pass the Bankhead bill over Q veto.
 The Bankhead bill excludes bene- iit payments in computing parity for the purpose Of making farm crop loans or establishing ceilings. It now is on President Roosevelts desk, The Pace bin would require that farm labor costs bo included In computing parity prices.
 Price Administrator Prentlss Brown estimated that the Bank head bill would add seven per cent and the Pace blll ii per cent to food costs. War Labor Board Chair. man William If. Davis said passage of the bills would force an upward revision of wage ceilings.
 Farm leaders, it was said, might welcome Lewis support for passage of the two bills over veto --. thus obtaining the objectlves of both the labor and farm groups. The board rejected Rn-appeal by the American Federation Of Labor and tho Con- grcss of Industrial organizations that the wage ceiling be boosted.

 FABULOUS FIGURE
$2IO,OOO, 100000 Total Be Reached By End of
 l044 Fiscal Year
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff COrrespOndent


 Washington, April l. - CUP) - Treasury figures showed today, the beginning of the fourth quarter of the l943 fiscal year, that the gov ernment is tagging behind budget spending schedule avareges despite q record of more than $50,0OO ,OOO, 900 of war expenditluSs in the past nine months.
 War expenditures now exceed $6,00O, 900 900 Q mont hand are sched- uled to reach $8,O00 900 900 monthly by the end of this calendar year. Average monthly expenditure dur Ing the past nine months was $S,60, ,00O, 900.
 But 50 far the government has not been ablo to achieve tho spend ing levels prosposed by President Roosevelt in his budget message of last January, When MT. Roosevelt submitted his budget message to cangrcss last January, he estimated for this fiscal year ending June 30 that net treasury revenue would total $22,976, ,000, 900: that oxpendi- lures would be $74.000 ,000, 900; all expenditures $80, 0,437 900, 900. On that basis he estimated for net deficit this fiscal year of $57, ,40i 100000.
 On the basis of the record during the first three quarters of this fiscal year, spending, revenue and deficit will fall substantially below those levels although final quarter spllrt still could achieve them.
 Despite tho current lag In spend- ing schedules, treasury outgo has been stepped up enormously since June. lo40, when Germany's spec tacularly successful invasion of France and the low countries jared the United tSateS into . big rearm- ament program. And Mir. Roosevelt Is raising his war spending sights close 10 $i00 900, GOO, 900 for the next fiscal year beginning July 1 cam pared with the $74,000, 100000 he hoped to spend for war purposes this year.
 It is estimated that the public debt, which was $l6,O0O, 900 900 when Mir. Roosevelt took office and now has grown to $ilo,536 900 900 will have reached the fabulous fig ure Of $2i0,0O0, 100000 by the end o fthc l044 fiscal year.

 Washington, April i.--(uP)--usu- ally well-lnformed farm and labor source said today they had heard discussions of the possibility that John L. Lewis and farm urganlEa- ton heads might cooperate in an effort to boost wages and farm prices.
 They emphasized that there have ns yet been no formal negotiations looking toward such farmer-labor coalition. But they said there have been informal discussions in both groups. Neither labor nor farm or- ganlEation leaders would comment
 Lewis is seeking a wage increase Of e2-R-day for 45O00O bltumlnous miners. The dispute Is expected to reach the war labor board this month. The board has indicated clearly that it will reject the de- mand, which would be in excess of the l5 per cent cost Of living for- Snula.
 The farm organization heads are seeking an increase in farm prices. The failure of President Roosevelt to Rive Food Administrator Chester e. Davis full authority over farm prices has emblttercd some farm leaders.
 The appointment of Davis, on tho recommendation of the farm leaders. was generally regarded as Q compromise between the farm a,ger n.,,s.arwli,ss. httiS Na t,Nnwna .n eo u,,, prices and administration opposl- ton to any increase in farm prices.
 The farm heads expected Davis to be given the power to make ad- jtstments in farm prices by raising those necessary to obtain greater production. The authority over 1arm prices was vested by tho price act in the once of Price Adminls- tratlon.
 As a result of the food program conference at the White House Tuesday, the farm leaders now be- lieve a compromise to be unlikely.
 Mir. Roosevelt, they said, empha- sized that he has labor wage fight coming up and that he could not afford to jeopardl2e his chances of winning that battle with Lewis by allowing farm prices to rise. They said he appeared determined to keep both wages and farm prices from rising.
 Instead he indicated his intention of extending government subsidies. The farm heads quoted him as say : Ing he was trying to think of an- other name for subsidies" The farm organizations and farm con- gresSmen have strongly opposed farm subsidies as substitute for price rises.
