House Member Proposes
World Police Force
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A world police force, or highly
vested tribunal, to conduct the af-
fairs of the United Nations in such
a way as to Ensure a lasting peace"
has been proposed by Representative
Kee of West Virginia, ranking
majority member of the House For
eigr Affairs Committee. Mr.. Kee
said he would work for approval of
the plan by Congress.
The legislation, in the form of a
resolution advising President Roose-
welt that this was the intent OF the
Nations wmakers, was the first
of its type TO be offered in the
Seventy eighth Congress.
I'VE must do this now, not wait
for the victory" Mr.. Kee said yes
terday.
The broad proposition is to urge
the President Immediately and
without undue delay" to enter into
agreements with the United Ma
tions for a plan to secure and
maintain law, order and peace"
This group would be charged with
administering global law and pun
ishing violations of nations SOW
ereignty and territorial rights. Any
nation refusing to submit a contro-
versy to this agency and resorting
to violence instead. would be subject
to appropriate measures" Mr.. Kee
explained.

The Great Game of Politics
Federal Agencies, Under New Congress Order,
Face First Real Investigation in Decade

by which the investigations were
ordered is strong evidence that this
new Congress. over which the ad-
ministration has lost control, in
tends to make up for lost time.
Other investiga tons are sure to
come. Before this session ends. the
belief is that every major agency
will be subjected to Congressional
overhauling. There is not one that
will not be improved by having the
light turned on it. They have been
operating much too long behind
their own publicity departments
without anyone being able to get
clear idea of what they are doing
or how.
Efforts of individual Senators. like
Mr.. Byrd, of Virginia, to dig out the
facts have been hampered and frus-
trated by delays and evasions. News
paper efforts are easily blocked. The
only way by which the full truth
can be obtained is through Con-
greSsional investigation and it is
good thing they are beginning.
These investigations do not mean
any weakening Of the war effort
They will not, if properly conducted.
divert men from the important Jobs
Of war production. They will not
waste the time nor energy of the
responsible officials On the con-
trary, they ought to result in the
correction OF abuses the co-ordina-
ton of effort and the simplification
of the machinery.
Fearless and searching inquiry by
Congress, with the view of wedding
out the incompetents and decreas-
ing waste is exactly what is needed
in Washington. The mere threat of
that kind of investigation - the
knowledge that such Investigations
can no longer be blocked by Admin
istration leaders, Is certain to have
a beneficial effect upon the execu-
tive branch from top to bottom.

By FRANK r. KENT.

The enthusiastic unanimitv with
which the House has recently ap-
proved resolutions to investigate
various governmental agencies is
| indicative of the difference between
this Congress and those we have
had for the past 10 years For that
! length of time the executive branch
of the Government so dominated
the legislative branch that the lat
ter sank to probably the lowest
level in our history.
It's independence and its initia-
tive practically vanished. Save in
the case of the attempted packing
of the Supreme Court it appeared
powerless to resist the White House
will With few exceptions, hardly
bill or resolution which the ad-
ministration opposed was passed.
Congress practically gave up. The
President absorbed its powers and
to an unprecedented degree oper-
ated as though he owned it, as,
indeed, he did House and Senate
ratified, when required, the Execu-
tive acts and almost invaria bly,
| obeyed the presidential orders.
Under these conditions, any such
! thing as a genuine investigation of
q governmental agency was inpos-
sible and those now ordered are the
first real ones in decade.
Basic Function.
Yet, the investiga ton of govern
mental departments is one of the
basic functions of Congress, the
exercise Of which is Of great value
to the Nation and without which
there is no check upon waste, in
competence or dishonesty. In his
able book, "A New Constitution
Now" Henry Hazlitt of the New
York Times points this out and
emphasizes it by quoting from John
Stuart Mills Representative Gov
ernment," as follows:
THE proper Office of a repre-
sentative assembly is to watch and
control the Government; to throw
the light of publicity on its acts.
to compel a full exposition and
justification of all Of them which
any one considers questionable; to
censure them If found condemna-
bic, and If the men who compose
the Government abuse their trust,
or fulfill it in manner which con-
flicts with the deliberate sense of
the Nation, to eXpel them from
office and either expressly or vir-
tually appoint their successors"
And Mr.. Mill added that in a
legislative body competent and alert
to perform these functions would
repose at all times sufficient security
for the liberty of the Nation" After
ten years in which the multitu-
dinous Government agencies and
commissions of the New Deal have
been wholly free from Congressional
scrutiny, the timeliness of reiterat-
ing the great truth in this Mill
paragraph is clear.

On the Record
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON.

There is considerable excite
ment and astonishment in Off
clal American circles over the
TACT that the German authorities
are now telling the truth to the
German people about the des-
perate situation on the eastern
front.
The German press has even
gone so far as to adjure the
people to copy the example Of
England, who bore up so nobly
during catastrophe.
Why this sudden candor?
Some think it is a Machiavellian
move to scare the world by the
"Bolshevist menace" others think
the generals are seeking to pin
the blame for defeat on Hitler
as a preface to getting rid of
him.
But the simpler explanatio is
that they cannot avoid telling
the truth and are therefore
making a virtue of necessity.
1t is impossible to keep bad
news from any people for a very
long time by any censorship.
Lincoln's remark that you can
fool all Of the people some of
the time and some OF the people
all of the time. but you can
never fool all of the people all of
the time" even applies to Nazi
Germany.
Nearly every family has a hus-
band, brother or son at the front,
Every family is concentrated on
finding out the truth. And so
they find it out.
Casualties Estimated.
Some things can be hidden, for
instance the actual number of
casualties But even these can
be estimated by sort of private
Gallup poll among neighbors.
They will figure that if 10 fam
lilies have sustained so and so
many deaths, the average for the
Nation must be such and such.
And geography is a fact. One
cannot pretend, for instance, that
the Caucasian army Is fighting
before Grozny II, at the same
time, 1t is lighting before Arm
avir.
Then, there is this: Where the
facts are not off1cially revealed,
rumor f1ourishes, and so does
Allied propaganda. On December
3 last, the Schwarze Korps,
official organ of the S. S. and the
Gestapo, complained bitterly as
follows:
1T is sticking ones head in the
sand to pretend that the propa-
ganda wave of the enemy, gran
dioSe in Its proportions, and us
ing the slogan The tide has
turned can be annihilated out
side the German frontiers. The
ether has no frontiers. The only
West Wall of the radio is the
discipline of the listener and
we know that ONLY a few criminal
radios are sufficient to cover vast
stretches OF territory with ru-
mors. Also our frontiers are not
absolutely closed against former
enemy countries and millions of
aliens forced workers from the
occupied territories) are irunning
around in our midst, who do not
share our national morale. No
news is so stupid but that some

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.


The year la43 certainly will be
a most momentous one for the
United Nations in general and
the American people in par
ticular.
The all-out offensive against
the Axis forces in Europe was
decided at the historic meeting
between President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill.
1t is obvious that the two Lead
ers and their technical advisers
have reached the conclusion that
major blows can be administered
to the Axis this year
Unquestionably, the blows will
bring the end of the war closer,
but they also will involve sweat,
blood and tears. The famous ex-
preston of the British Prime
Minister will be no longer a
rhetorical phrase as far as the
American people are concerned.
An offensive against the Nazis
and the Fascists is expected to
take definite shape soon. 1t will
be the extension of the present
offensive which is taking place in
Russia, and will cover some por-
tions of Western or Southern
Europe. Naturally the place
where we may try to discover the
Nazi Achilles heel will not be
known until our forces begin
their operations. The military
experts will go right to work on
details Of the strategy decided on
last week at Casablanca.
Tunisia Job Seen Costly.
In the meantime, the British
forces in North Africa advancing
from Tripoli will endeavor-
despite the difficulty of supplies
to prevent Marshal Erwin
Rommels Afrika Korps from
taking strong defensive positions
in Tunisia. The famous Mareth
Line, popularly known as the
Little Maginot Line in Tunisia. is
likely to be abandoned by the
Nazis.
They do not have the necessary
ammunition for the type OF heavy
guns placed in that fortified line.
The heavy guns are a special
French model and the factories
In France no longer manufacture
that type of ammunition.
The Allied high command
realizes that the conquest of
Tunisia will be costly. The Nazis
are determined to defend the
French protectorate to the last
man in order to give Hitler time
to fortify the shores of the
Northern Mediterranean. But the
VIC pOoSiDAAltf VI MIL OIL
sive against either the British
9th Army or the lst Army is
being discounted.
The Nazis do not have sufI-
cient supplies in that area to en-
able them to attack the Allied
forces. They have been receiving
a fair amount of war material
from Sicily and Sardinia, but ac-
tivities of Allied submarines and
planes have increased recently to
such an extent that there is not a
day that passes when they do not
bag several Nazi transports.

thing Of it will be believed. And
stupidity has no class lines. A
single conceited fool with a good
name and appearance, spreading
rumors in cafes and barber shops,
can create more trouble than
dozen enemy agents.
Thus the enemy accomplishes
more with his radio war than he
does on the battleheldS, if our
own news policy does not effec-
lively counter him"
News Sustains RumOrs.
Now this is very interesting. It
Is a great tribute to the Allied
propaganda; it reveals that dis
content knows no class lines;
that persons of rank are among
the guilty" who spread our
news And it is testimony from
the most qualified source-the
Gestapo!
But what complicates things
for the GeStapo is that when
they decide to let out the news
in order to counteract rumor the
news sustains the rumors.
But there is another reason
why they are telling the truth.
They have got to squeeze the
last drop of energy out of the
German people, and the only
squeezer still left to them is fear.
The German radio is playing
funeral marches! The whole line
Is: Pull yourselves together or
you are lost. The German do
mestic propaganda paints for the
people the most hideous picture
Of defeat: Revenge, national dis
memberment, individual extermi-
nation and permanent relegation
to a subhuman level.
In view of the acknowledged
success of the Allied propaganda
to date, I think We ought to be
able to counteract this, too. It
Is unfortunate that the books
and speeches of Lord Vansittart
and Kaufmann's Germany
Must Perish" are reprinted by
DR.. Goebbels as testimony TO the
horrid fate that awaits de-
feated German nation.
What gets under the German
skin and counteracts the Nazi
campaign are speeches like
Henry Wallace's, projecting
new and better world, with free
dom, equality and justice for all.
And statements like the Presi-
dents, discriminating between
Nazi criminals and harmless peo-
pie who have been forced into
collaborating with their party
masters.
But we might also learn some
thing from our enemies about
the effectiveness of censorship.
For they have certainly given
censorship a good trial They
even have death sentences for
listening to radio-and it doesn't
help. The old phrase, Curiosity
once killed cat" reveals a
profound truth. People want to
know things. And where they
don't know, they speculate, and
the speculations become rumors,
and rurnors become political
facts.

MIA is Truth Prevails" 1t does.

chant marine, which Pierre Laval
surrendered to his Berlin friends.
Had it not been for this fact 1t
is doubtful whether the Germans
could have mustered enough
shipping to supply Marshal Rom
mel and Gen. Juergen Won
Arnim with the necessary amount
of war material and men to hold
Ttnisia for any length of time.
That the Nazis no longer dis
count the decisions of the Allied
leaders as mere verbiage" is il
lustrated in the fact that they
have ordered a drastic shorten
ing of their positions in Russia.
According to the best available
information, the German retreat
will be far more important than
the Nazis general staff had origi-
nally contemplated. Nobody here
would be surprised II some i'm
portant positions conquered by
the Axis armies in the second
offensive is given up soon.
The Nazi forces are estimated
at some 800 divisions. About 240
of these are now concentrated on
the eastern front. The figure
does not include the Nazi satel-
lites - Rumanians, Hungarians,
Italians, Slovaks and Firms.
This would leave approximate-
ly 80 divisions with which to de-
fend Western and Southern
Europe from an American British
attack. The number Is not con-
sidered sufficient in Berlin since
the total of American British
divisions ready for an offensive
in Europe far exceeds the Nazi
force.
Air Force Situation.
The same situation seems to
apply to aviation. In recent
weeks the Germans have with
