Ernie Pyle's by-line.
Ernie, incidentally, may easily
have written his last Hollywood
item In his first one. He has no
interest in doing another and has
no intention of writing with even
fraction of an eye on the cinema.
His one definite thought for the
future is that he will not write a
daily column when the war is over.
He will go where good stories are,
but he won't travel across the face
Of the world at the pace he has gone
for 10 years.
Instead, he will go back to Albu-
|querque, out on the edge of town
where the mesa stretches away for
miles, and write for many months,
the stories that he expects to find in
a very few months of travel.
He probably never will need new
hat again.

Fall Best
TimetoMove
Plants, Trees
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden EDITOR

WITHIN the next week or
w two is as good a time as
any in the whole year TO move
plsnts-beginning with the big
ones like trees and ending up
with such perennials as peonies.
Fall is the time when nature
natures plants and drops seed.
The tops of many plants die
down, drop their leaves, or
otherwise become dormant right
after the first heavy frosts.
Continue to Grow
The roots. however. will con-
tinue 10 grow and mature just as
long as the soil temperature al
lows. In one way this Is ideal
for trsnSplsnting as the tops
will not use up energy and food
while the roots will continue 10
grow very late in the fall and
thus the plant becomes well es-
tabIished in It's new position
with little strain and in a rels-
lively snort tlme.
In case you are skeptical
about moving such large plants
as trees at this time OF year, the
records OF the Royal Oak city
of trees committee show that
over a period of six years losses
Of street trees moved in the fall
were fewer than among those
moved in the spring.
Moving any plant in the fall
requires care in both digging
and the actual moving operation.
Points OF prime importance are
the preservation OF as many
small, fine. feeding roots as pos
sible when digging and the pre-
vention from drying OF all roots
while the plant is out OF the
ground.

The Whole Record
From the New York Times

From the New York Times
1t is not true that the only kind of
America worth defending is the better"
America which we expect to build after
the victory has been won This war is
Justified If fought only for defense of
America as it is in 1943. It would be
justiflable war for America of 1899 or
1925, which is approximately the date of
Teapot Dome. 1t is a justifiable war
because it is being fought in defense of
the whole American record through the
years, white and black.
What is that record and what Is that
Nation? Our discontented college youth
OF few years ago, educated by two
decades of savage devaluation of Amer
lea, complained because we had no
flaming American ideals to compete
with the dynamic ideal which Hitler
and Mussolini and the Japanese Of
flcial murder fraternities provided for
their own youth. But if our young
people had looked at the American
record in the whole and it's essentials.
they would have found an American
purpose to enlist their loyalty and stir
their pulses. The country which we
are defending today was there five years
ago, and 20 years ago.

General Vundeorift

Secretary OF the Navy Knox was
warmly gracious in his announce
ment yesterday of the selection of
Lieutenant General Alexander A.
Vandegrift to be commandant of
the United States Marine Corps.
Nothing I have done as Secretary
OF the Navy has given me greater
personal satisfaction" he said. His
satisfaction in making the an
nouncement will be shared by those
who received 1t. For General Van
degrift has in every respect met the
test of the marines. He led his men
to victory at Tulagi, Guadalcanal
and Bougainville. He was in large
measure responsible for the training
which preceded the most recently
glorious feat Of the marines at
TaraWa. He is, every inch of him,
a marine-a gallant leader in the
field, an honor student in the school
OF war, respected by his men and
regarded with warm affection by his
associates and friends. A fine man
and a fine type of man to be the
eighteenth commandant OF Marine
Corps in the one hundred and sixty
ninth year OF its distinguished life.

Aesop Revised

Hark to the modern Aesop fable
OF the housekeeper and the mouse.
An Oklahoma City housewife set
trap for descendant of Aesop's
famous mouse that befriended the
lion, and baited it with cheese. It
IS hoped that she is thorouehlv
ashamed of herself; next morning
the cheese was gone, and the CRATE
1ul little creature had left in it's
place red ration point, good for
many times the amount of the bait.
Of course, it will not pay to spoil the
story and go too deeply into the
matter OF how the mouse got the
coupon, for it is extremely improb-
able that 1t could have obtained it
legitimately by answering all those
OPA questions. Presumably the
ticket was obtained unethically, per-
haps borrowed from a neighbor, but
none the less it exhibited sense of
propriety as gratifying as it is rare
in these selfish times. It does not
take an Emily Post to realize that
this unsung and anonymous mouse
is far higher in the social scale than
the average late guest who makes
demands on the family larder with
out bringing even q single coupon.

Not Simple

A recent meeting in Naples serves
to remind us that the political prob
lens OF Europe are too thorny to be
solved all of sudden, and quietly,
as soon as the war ends.
The speakers at this meeting in
cluded the distinguished Senator
Benedetto Croce, who is anti-Fascist
to the marrow and who wants King
Victor Emmanuel to abdicate. But
Signor Croce does not wish to see
Italy abandon the monarchy. He
regards it as unifying force and he
favors retaining it by establishing
regency of some sort, with the pres
ent King and Crown Prince Humbert
out Of the picture but with the 1tal-
ian throne kept intact.
When he said this at the meeting,
however, Signor Croce was shouted
down by many listeners as anti
Fascist as himself. They made it
clear that they wanted no more
royalty, and the general audience
became so heated over the subject
that there were fist fights here and
there. The display, of course, was
not sensationally important, but in
its own small way. it foreshadowed
the difficulties likely to trouble
Italy in the near future, illustrating
how men can be fully agreed in
their desire to wipe out the last
vestiges Of Fascism and yet be at
swords points over the reordering of
their society.
And what holds true for Italy.
Evening star., 1943-12-01

holds true also for other countries
eventually to be liberated. They are
all wholesomely anti-Fascist and
anti-Nazi, but that does not mean
that their peoples are unified as
regards the kind of rule they want.
Divisions in this respect are many
and deep and they will probably not
be overcome smoothly or expedi-
tiously. It will take time to elimi-
nate them, and perhaps not little
fierce feuding.
This is something to be expected.
It is something Americans might
we'll try to understand now, because
If we think otherwise, If we antici-
pate a frictionless transition from
war to a reconstruction of govern
ments in Europe, we may be greatly
disillusioned and misinterpret neces-
sary and possibly painful change as
being nothing but some mores Of
those "senseless' European "squab-
bles." The thing Is not so simple as
that. 1t is complex in the extreme,
and we shall be wise to adjust our
thinking accordingly, realizing that
tomorrow's world is not going to be
born or stabilized without consider
able travail, and that as much as
anything else it will need patience,
a great deal of patience, not less in
America than in the countries over
seas

Where 1t Is Inconsistent

1t remained for the Districts good
rr1end, Senator Arthur Capper of
Kansas, to single out in Senate
debate that inconsistency in the
soldier vote bill which tends to
make mockery Of some of the fine
expressions of democratic principles
offered in support of the legislation.
1t is highly consistent with a
fundamental tradition of America,
which couples arms-bearing with
the right to vote, to do everything
that reasonably can be done to
enable the men and women in the
armed forces, wherever they may
be, to participate in the 1914
national election. It is, by the same
token, utterly inconsistent with that
tradition to single out and shunt
aside as ineligible the men and
women IN the armed services whose
only voting disqualification is the
accident of their residence in the
Capital OF the United States.
Those Senators weaken their cause
who so eloquently plead the right
and duty of every American service
man to vote in next years election
and at the same time ignore the
complete disfranchisement of the
Washingtonian, in or out of the
service. AS Senator Capper puts it:
THE hearts OF statesmen bleed for
the servicemen who might through
their service be denied the vote in a
single election, but there is little or
no bleeding for their fellow Ameri-
cans who are and have always been
denied the vote in every national
election since the seat OF the Gov-
eminent was located here"
The remedy is simple and direct.
1t Is wholly in keeping with the
founders conception OF a seat of
government under exclusive control
OF Congress. 1t adds to the powers of
Congress, violating no intent, but
correcting an error of omission
rather than Of commission by the
trainers Of our Constitution. It lies
IN adoption by Congress of the reso-
luton proposed by Representative
Summers Of Texas and Senator
Capper, submitting to the States this
constitutional amendment:
The Congress shall have power to
provide that there shall be in the
Congress and among the electors OF
President and Vice President mem
oers elected by the people of the
District constituting the seat of the
Government Of the United States, in
such numbers and with such powers
As the Congress shall determine. All
legislation hereunder shall be subject
to amendment and repeal.
Evening star., 1943-12-01

at the very first stage in the production
process, whether that be at the farm,
mine or fabricator. which constitutes
the bottleneck or physical limitation on
total output needed.
Third the subsidy should be paid
only on that portion Of production
which must be gotten out at a cost
higher than the one which permits
holding the fixed retail price on the
end product.
Fourth, the amount of the subsidy
should be only enough to insure the
production needed without allowing un-
due profit to the high-cost producer
whose volume is needed.
And that Is all there is to the entire
matter-with one big, double -barreled
'if'l That "if" is whether or not we
really want to hold a given retail price
Tor any commodity or line Of commod-
tiles with our past method of doing
business.
The first barrel is easy enough to
answer. Either We want to buy butter
at 50 cents a pound and milk at Is cents
quart in the stores or we don't. II
we do, then 1t can be done by a subsidy
at the dairy farm level or at the next
stage If necessary-but not at the retail
store.
The other barrel of the big 'if" is a
little more involved because our usual
methods of doing business consist of
so many steps. Yet they all have one
factor in common. That, beyond the
desire to make decent profit, is an
oversimplified method of figuring that
profit. We have nearly all come to
hgurlng profit as rate rather than
as an absolute number of dollars for a
definite service rendered. So If our first
cost goes up for any reason whatever,
we figure our sales price as so manv
per cent over cost in order to assure
the same rate Of profit we had before.
II, now, the same thing Is done two.
three, four or more times between the
1arm and the retail buyer, it is easy
10 see how that needed nickel at some
1arms becomes a dime at the retail
store. And yet that extra nickel at the
retail store has not meant any more
work to any of the others beyond the
nrst step which needed the increase,
JUST method Of figuring-but it Is as
old as our business methods.
so I suggest that we make up our
minds to answer the double -barreled
IT. and then decide whether or not
we want subsidies to hold the retail line.
II the answer Is "yes," then Congress
or the OPA readily enough can set up
the rules for their use and the amounts
to be spent on them.

TESTING q Law


Some OF the critics OF the Smith
Connally War Labor Disputes Act
should be interested in reading the
October strike report of the Bureau
OF Labor Statistics.
These critics attacked the law on
the ground that it offered tacit
encouragement to strikes, and that
the effect Of the legislation would
be to increase rather than reduce
the number Of strikes. But the
record, to the extent that it is
reflected In the BIS report, does not
support this view.
During October there were 200
strikes, involving 215OO0 workers
and the loss of 975, 1000 man-days of
work. This record certainly is not
good, but allowance must be made
for the fact that sporadic coal mine
strikes accounted for 40 per cent of
the total number OF workers involved
in October strikes and about one
half OF the total idleness. No strike
reports were prepared in July,
August and September because of a
shortage Of funds, but in June-the
closest preceding month for which
there is a report, and the month in
which the Smith Connally bill was
passed over the Presidents veto
there were 425 strikes, INVOLVING
975,O00 workers and the loss Off ,75O,-
900 man-days Of work. The figures
for this month, Of course, were in
f1ated by two national coal strikes.
Possibly the best comparison can
be obtained by going back to April
and May-prior to the passage of
the antistrike law. In each of these
months coal strikes enter the picture,
but when allowance is made for
this, the picture remains favorable.
There were 395 strikes in each of
the two months. In April 225 900
strikers lost total of 675, 900 days of
work. In May 65O,0oO strikers lost
100000 days Of work. Whatever
the percentage of this time loss
which may be attributed to the coal
miners, there is no doubt that there
were more strikes OF all kinds in
both April and May than in October.
This, of course, is not conclusive
evidence OF anything. But it does
tend to support the belief that the
hue and cry against the Smith-Con-
nally Act as an incitement to strikes
was premature to say the least. On
the strength Of the October record,
the law obviously is entitled to fair
trial, which, incidentally, implies a
real Willingness to enforce it.
