Notifications of the system Of
social lnsWances introduced into
Germany by the conservative
Bismarck as a hedge against
radical ovcrturns have been
adopted by every civilized ma
ton, including, bclatcdly, our
own.
There are measures Of internal

system of mutual insurance. and
without carefully conceived meas

plan is the purpose OF this report.
Function of Administration.
How else can such a plan be
prepared? The New York
Herald Tribune states. Congress
has determined to write its own
formula, This is as 1t should
be Congress is completely m-
equipped to prepare plan.
Congress will always be inclined
to use such questions for politics.
1t has neither the personal dis
interestedness nor the staff, nor
the freedom from direct popular
preSsures, nor the technical ex-
perts, nor the time for the
preparation of such a report.
That is the function of an ad-
ministrstion with foresight. And
the function of Congress is to
consider the report. discuss it,
debate it, modify it. and pass
Judgment on it. There is no
other way of governing INTEL
llgently IN the modern world.
Judgment, however, has already
been passed by radio and news
paper commentators who OBJ
vlously have not done more than
glance through the summary.
Part of the trouble, of course,
is due to the way in which the
administration handles its pub
lie relations. The document
comes INTO the hands of those
commentators who might be ex-
pected TO give it careful atten-
ton, "a hours after It's general
release. The political opponents
OF the administration immedi-
ately prejudice public opinion,
and responsible writer's keep still
because they cannot talk about

But such report, having made
a days headlines. cannot be dis
missed from public discussion in

It is equally admitted that

fact that We have definite air
superiority IN tina, area. But il
Is also true that planes without
large and wel-organilcd land
force can not win major battles.
This is even more true when
the question Of soitenlns the
Reich Is concerned From every
reliable report received so far
the damage to military and m
uustglal installations in Germany
and occupied territories has not
been impressive. Some Of the
vital war industries OF the Reich
are below the ground Factories
which were damaged a month
ago are back in production.
During the height OF the IN
tenSiye war against Great Brit
ain the production of British in
dusries, according to official
figures issued at that time, has
never fallen below 25 per cent.
The softenlng of the morale OF
the civilian population unqUes-
tlonabIy IS an important factor,
but We have not yet reached a
stage where 1t can be considered
determining element III vim
ming the war,
Because Of the overwhelming
importance OF aviation III modern
war, many "old-schOOl' strate-
gistS believe that until the Brit
lsh and the American produc-
tlOn reaches its maximum it
might be fatal to put all our eggs
IN one basket, A TOund-the clock
air attack against the Nazis will
require a tremendous number of
planes.
We cannot tell the Russians,
for instance, that because We
intend to open an aerial second
front they must be content with
only the leftoycrs Of our pro-
GuctlOn. Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur III the South Pacific must
soon develop another offensive
defensive operation. but for the
time being he IS handicapped by
a shortage Of planes. He has not
cleared New Guinea of JapS be-
cause he does not have enough
planes. To make secure our po-
sitlon in the Southeast Pacific he
needs more planes and ships.
In spite of the speeding up of
planes production in the United
States and Great Britain, it is
doubtful whether we are now
producing sufficient numbers of
planes Of all types to make an
all-out offensive against Europe
and at the same time supply the
Russians, Pacific and North At
rlcan theaters of war with the
number Of planes each COM
mander needs.

Guidance Is There.

Il do not think it is possible to
make this understandable to one
who has not tried it. *'r What I do
want to make clear is that whether
we get guidance or not, it's there.
It's like tuning in on the radio.
There's music III the air, whether
We tune in or not. BY learning 10
tune in. one can understand How
is it done? BY 'practicing the pres
ence of God'--by daily communion
with Him, One cannot expect to
be conscious of God's S presence when
one has only boWing acquaintance
with him.
With me, religion is very simple
thing. 1t means to try with all my
heart and soul and strength and
mind to do the will of God.

foregoing excerpts are quoted was

CcptlOn recorded tho report, both
by press and politicians, is a
dlsCOuraging revelation OF intel
lcctual leadership. For the re-
port has been ignored, misrepre-
scntcd, or Cayalierly dismissed.
The document is a summary Of
a much longer study available to
all concerned with the postwar
outlook. 1t represents the fruits
OF three years of work by
diSinterested economists and
experts in various fields, and
takes INTO account the experience
Of other countries in attempting
to achieve a minimum of Geo.
nOmic security for all citizens.
It's object, in revolutionary
world, is to help achieve a
stable society with minimum dis
location of existing economic
institutions. Such a society is the
condition even for international
postwar planning. 1t is useless
to discuss the international polit-
lCal and economic relationships
unless there is prospect of sta
bllity within our own borders.
Every agreement could be over
thrown by radical changes here.
Unlike Beveridge Report.
Unlike the British Beveridge
report, which is a limited docu-
ment, exclusively concerned with
the extension and naturalization
of existing social services, this
report raises the primary ques-
ton, upon the answer to which
all other measures are dependent,
namely, how to maintain full en-
ployment after the war. This is
the basic problem which faces all
industrialized societies. Failure
TO solve it is responsible for all
the radical upsets of these times.
and is, indeed, direct cause of
this war.
When the New York Times, in
an editorial commenting on the
report, dismisses it by suggesting
that Naziism is logical devel-
opment of Bismarck's welfare
state, the Times is falling below
its usual intellectual level. The
security plan initiated by Bis
marck and elaborated by the
Weimar republic was founded on
failure to solve the problem of
cyclical unemployment. This un-
employment, more than any other
single factor, contributed to the

Il used to pray that God would
do this or that. Now I pray that
God will make His will known to
me. Thus l entered into the third
period where I wanted to do not
my will, but Gods. Life is really
simple and yet how confused We
make it. In old Chinese art there
is just one outstanding object. per-

thing else is subordinate to this one

These are questions which are
being debated in Washington and
London and have great bear
ing on the global picture Of the
war
Aviation enthusiasts maintain
that the bulk of the production
from our factories must be ear
marked for the British Isles
from which sWarms of planes
should take off daily to bomb
without mercy the Nazl-occupicd
continent.
They maintain that so far, with
somewhat limited activities, the
bombardmentS have had telling
effect on German production and
on the morale of the population
which had been bCaStfully- as
slUed by Hitler'S gang that Ger
many will remain immune to air
attack.
Point to Destruction.
The destruction Of some of the
ancient monuments in Northern
and Southern Germany-a chief
attraction for tourists in times
of pcaCe-together with the in
evltable toll taken among the
civilians has done more to MAKE
the German people war weary
and dubious over eventual VIC
tory or even a Stalemate than
the reverscs suffered by the Axis
armies on the Russian front.
Hence, these advocates say, III
future the bulk of American and
British aviation production must
be concentrated in the United
Kingdom TO enable the Allied
flyers to start greater drubblng
of the Reich than ever before.
The enthusiasm of the ayia-
tion-minded generals is not
shared altogether by other Amer
ican and British strategists, who
maintain that aviation alone has
not been responsible for any
decisive victory in land war
fare.
The Germans poured hundreds
Of planes every day against the
British Isles at time when the
British did not have the same
defenseS as the Germans now
haye-in the shape OF either
