This Changing World
Rumors Persist Thot Gen. Marshall Will Toke
Active Command of Allies in Europe and Africa

takes orders from Gen. Eisen-
hover.
1t is hoped that before long
there will be as many as 100000
Frenchmen in the conflict.
Trained soldiers are available,
but they cannot be nodded into a
fighting unit until they receive
the necessary modern equipment
from the United States.
Gen. Giraud and the other
French generals are willing to
cooperate with their British
colleagues, but there still is a
certain amount of bitterness
among the lower ranks of the
French officers corps who for
close to two years have been
propagandized by the Nazis
against their former allies.
While this feeling is none too
deep, 1t is considered unwise to
place the French under the
supreme command Of a British
general, particularly inasmuch as
heavy losses are inevitable in the
battles to come.
Should the French be placed in
a position which would exact
the heaviest toll, it is conceivable
that there might be some friction
and old recriminations might re-
appear. This possibility might
induce a British commander to
sacrifice uselessly some of his
own men in order to spare the
French. This would be equally
unfair.
To Avoid Ill Feeling.
So as to avoid any kind OF Ill
feeling, it is considered advisable
that the commander of the en-
tire group of armies-nominally
at least-should be a man Of the
type of Gen. Marshall, whose de-
cisions about whom to throw in
to battle at certain spot would
not be suspected as biased or un-
friendly.
The rumors that the present
Chief of Staff would be given
such a responsible command have
circulated for several months in
Washington, particularly during
the weeks preceding the invasion
OF North Africa.
Whether the high command
ever seriously considered Offer
Ing that post to Gen. Marshall is
debatable. The job he was do
ing in Washington, planning op-
erations on all fronts and con-
tinuing to streamline and expe-
d1te the American forces to the
battle fronts. demanded his un-
divided attention. 1t was then
considered that giving Gen. Mar
shall a command in the field
might be harmful to prepared
ness and progress Of the war.
Should these rumors be con-
firmed, observers here believe
that this will be the best indi-
cation that preparatory work for
an all-out United Nations offen-
sive In Europe has been COM
pleted and that large military
operations against the Nazis may
be expected soon.

praisal Of the Agriculture Labor
Program"
In joint press conference Mr.
McNutt and Mr.. Wickard said un-
less 100000 persons are placed on
farms by the time the seasonal peak
is reached this summer, agriculture
in general faces a breakdown. In
December, 1912, 100000 persons
we're engaged in farming. But, if
production goals are to be met this
year, this figure must be increased
to more than 100000.
Pointing out that during the past
two years Agriculture lost an aver
age of 100000 workers year, Mr..
Wickard said the agriculture depart
ment field agencies might arrange
for the closing Of schools during
weeks when there was critical farm
labor shortage. He stressed the
need for farm families to leave sub
sistence farms for farms where full
production can be obtained, empha-
sizing that the reduction in the num-
ber Of units required for Selective
Service deferment did not mean that
the standards of production for WAL
goals had been reduced likewise.

A Federal Subsidy Program Of APP
proximately $100,0OO,OO to encour-
age increased production of war
foods and fibers in 1913, has been
announced. According to Mr.. Wick
ard, the new payments are more a
subsidy to consumers than to farm
ers, as they will permit farmers to
increase production without immedi-
atety higher prices. To finance the
fund, Congress is being asked to
raise the appropriation for the Soil
Conservation and Domestic Allot-
ment Act from $500, 100000 to
$500, 100000.

You can't always tell what man
is or does from the way he looks, I
have just been reminded. The door
man at a swanky midtown night club
Is not what he seems by any means.
His principal job consits of opening
the doors of vehicles when they ar
rive and politely ushering the guests
to the door Of the club. Besides this
chore, he holds an umbrella over
begowned ladies when it is raining,
and blows shrilly on his whistle for
cabs when they are not at hand to
take away the departing customers.
This major-domo wears a brilliant
colored, elaborate uniform which
would do credit to an officer in the
Royal Bengal Lancers, and for his
labors, he receives regular tips from
tipsy patrons - usually in the form
OF crisp greenbacks. The doorman
must surely smile ironically at some
OF those who decorate his palm thus,
however; for he owns a $4,000
farm in New Jersey and works at
his Gotham job only because he
makes enough money at it to oper-
ate the farm.
What this country needs is a good
five-cent cigar -. or at least this
soon will be the case, say officials
OF the Cigar Institute of America.
