ence is that in the Philippines
We were caught unprepared, and
no reinforcements-particularly
desperately needed aviation -
were sent to the defenders OF
Bataan and Corregidor.
Washington military quarters
are confident that despite the
enormous facilities OF the Axis
and despite the cost to the Allied
forces, the island soon will be In
our hands.
But the same military men
point out that 1t would be sad
mistake to interpret the opera
tions against Sicily-which will
be followed with similar actions
against other Axis strongholds in
the Mediterranean-as the be-
ginning OF the great offensive
against Europe proper.
Months to Prepare.
Nothing Is farther from the
truth. II the preparations for
the invasion Of Sicily took us two
months after the Axis was ex-
PEELED from North Africa, we
must count on at least four times
that period after the conquest of
Sicily before we can be ready to
move across the Mediterranean
into the European fortress.
The conquest of Sicily will
demonstrate the difficulties of
amphibious oper tions. AL
though the stretch of water be-
tween Sicily and the Italian
mainland is very narrow, only 2
miles at one point, the Axis high
command henceforth will expert
ence serious difficulties in bring
ing reinforcements to the be-
leaguered island. A similar sit
uation will not exist once We
land on the continent. Rein
forcements at the invasion points
can be rushed with far greater
ease.
The Allied high command is
unwilling to take any useless
risks. 1t is certain that our mill
tary leaders will not undertake
an offensive from Sicily, regard
less Of what political pressure
may be brought, without such
preparations as to give our forces
at least a 10 per cent margin Of
victory. .h
Reserves In Readiness. -
For the time being. our forces
in North Africa are being primed
exclusively for the attack on

and the suggestion seemed welcome
to both sides. For reasons of his
own, the President seems unwilling
to exercise his power to end this
fight in his own offlcial family and
apparently prefers to lurk in the
background while his aides disregard
his publicly issued instructions.
Those who know him best believe
Mr.. Baruch may be able, at least, to
vaccinate against fresh outbreaks.
For one thing, they know that Mr..
Baruch, having great distaste for
futility, will not attempt the i'm
possible. Certainly he will make no
effort to have Mr.. Wallace and Mr..
Jones pretend to love each other.
A Perkins-Jones Feud.
All that would accomplish would
be to make hyprocites Of both. Nor
will he try to convince either that
the other is right. Mr.. Baruch
knows that no one ever convinces
any one in this kind Of argument
and he will waste no time trying.
Also, he is realistic enough to know
that this fight is not really between
Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Jones, but
between Milo Perkins. executive
officer of the BEW. and Mr.. Jones.
Like Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Perkins is
from Texas. Neither has ever liked
the other. Mr.. Perkins is an able
left wing New Dealer who dislikes
any restriction of his activities.
Particularly, he resents restriction by
Mr.. Jones. On the other hand, Mr..
Jones believes the BEW is a very
wasteful agency and considers Mr..
Perkins one of our most talented
wasters Of public funds.
Actually. what this fight Is about
Is whether Mr. Perkins shall cast off
the Jones fetters, obtain his own
money and be unrestrained In
spending it, or whether Mr.. Jones,
head Of the RFC. which supplies the
money, shall continue to force Mr..
Perkins to prove his case before
getting the dough. 81,
So far as Mr.. Wallace is concerned,
he is merely the front-the false
whiskers behind which Mr.. Perkins
fires at Mr.. Jones. Naturally the
more radical New Dealers are all
lined up behind Mr.. Perkins. who
Is one Of them, and against Mr..
Jones, whose annoying tendency to
regard public money as public trust
they have always resented. On the
other side, sympathy for Mr.. Jones
is very strong in Congress. where he
has many warm friends.

THINKING of getting a loan? Be-
L fore you borrow, ask yourself two
questions. l. Is your loan really
necessary? 2. Are you getting it at
the lowest rate you can?
It's good idea not to borrow un-
less loan is the best answer to your
problem. In wartime that's an espe-
cially wise policy. Perhaps you can
squeeze through this time without
borrowing. If you do borrow, get only
as much money as you really need
and pay it back as soon as possible
to reduce the cost.
Sometimes family must have a
substantial amount of cash to meet an
unexpected emergency. Sometimes a
family has debts too large to pay out
of current earnings. That's when a
personal loan, repayable in monthly
