Prime Minister Churchill had
plenty of time to discuss the sit
uation In the European theater.
The presence of Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower and the role he Is
reported to have played at staff
meetings held under the chair
manship of MessrS. Roosevelt
and Churchill lends color to the
reports that an American-British
offensive is near in another sec
tor of the European front-prob-
ably the Balkans.
The all-out campaign against
the japanese, decided on by the
powers principally interested in
the Far East, necessarily will be
delayed until the war in Europe
has ended.
1t Is pointed out by observers
that had major Pacific cam
paign been discussed at Cairo,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur would
have attended.
British Favor Balkan Push.
So far as is known to the pub
lie, Admiral Lord Louis Mount
batten commands only the forces
in Asia. Attacks against Japa-
nese-held islands, such as the
Netherlands Indies and the Phil
ippines, must be made with the
forces under Gen. Macarthur
command. 1t stands to reason
that when the time is ripe for a
major operation which will lead
to the destruction of the Jap.-
nese empire, in accordance with
the joint statement issued at
Cairo Wednesday, another i'm
portant conference will be held
at which Gen. Macarthur will be
asked to participate.
American, British and Russian
strategists, who are supposed to
be meeting now in Iran, must
devise means of putting an end
to German resistance as quickly
as possible.

bill, the same principle of the Con-
stitution is attacked by its New Deal
sponsors. What they originally
sought was to sweep aside all State
legislation laws and simply accept
the word of every soldier without
any checkup as to where he lived
or his qualification to vote in that
place. Under this bill, as at first
presented, any man in uniform. here
or abroad, over 21 years old, would
be handed ballot and his vote
counted in the State where he said
he lived. This would enfranchise a
great many thousands OF individuals
who never voted before, who never
contemplated voting, who never
registered and could not meet the
voting qualifications of the State In
which they lived. But, if the State
offlcials refuse to count the votes of
such persons, the whole vote of the
State could be thrown out by Con-
gress.
Could Determine Election.
There are Republican as we'll as
Democratic Senators who regard
these provisions as not only uncon-
stitutional but bad. 1t may be that
by the time this piece is printed
they will have succeeded in correct
ing some of the bills most obnoxious
features. There is general recogni-
tion that the 10000, 900 voters af-
fected may determine the election
There is also recognition that as
drawn it gave advantages
to the administration candidate, ex-
pecsed to be Mr. Roosevelt, which
he should not have. Yet those who
strove to amend the bill are sub
Jected to the unfair charge thai
they do not want the soldiers to
vote.
Under these conditions, it takes
reral courage to speak out against
this bill-particularly from Senators
who come up for election next year,
The fact is that the purpose of
each of these bills is thoroughly
sound. Their avowed objective is
one upon which almost UNANIMOUS
agreement could be had. But the
by which it is proposed to
reach their goals cannot be recon-
clled with a sense of fairness and
dangerously disregard the principles
Of American Government.
There is no expectation that the
poll tax bill will pass at this session.

makes 1t all the more important it
should be amended so that partisan
advantage be eliminated. fair ad-

On The Record

all Russian claims on Manchuria
were abandoned In exchange for
Japanese acknowledgment OF q
Russian sphere Of influence In
Outer Mongolia. If Russia made
no claims on Japanese-ruled
Manchuria, she would hardly
make them on Manchuria
restored to China.
Japs to Lose Islands.
Japan will lose the Pacific
islands won since 1914. She &C
quired these islands from Ger
many in the peace settlement
after the last war. These islands
were not given to Japan, but
inundated" to her by the
League of Nations. When Japan
withdrew from the League in
protest against its condemna-
ton of the Manchurian adven-
ture, no power was ready to risk
war to recover them. Japan an
nexed them, and against the
provisions of the mandate, forti-
fed them.
Experience has taught that
these islands were not used by
Japan to protect her own Sc
curity. but for aggressive pur-
poses. From these islands the
attack on Pearl Harbor must
have been organized. These
islands made it impossible for us
to retain Guam and Wake, and
were obstacles in our communi-
cation with the Philippines. As
territories" for expansion.
they are worthless. AS strategic
positions they have high value.
1t is obvious that no American
Government could suggest they
remain in japanese hands, or in
any hands except our own until
such time as we may have a
genuine system of collective Sc
curity with teeth in it.
They are not only of high i'm
portance as naval ports, but in a
time of growing air power are
the bridge from the western
hemisphere to Australia, the
Philippines and Southern Asia.
Whoever controls them controls
the South and Central Pacific.
China's Outlook Improves.
The outlook for China is,
therefore, that as result of her
long and heroic defense she will
be consolidated as a great Ash
attic nation. regaining as a mod
ern state what she has lost dur
ing the revolutionary times of
the last half century.
For America, the control of the
Southern and Central Pacific
against all possible future az
gressions will be assured. The
question of how British and
Dutch interests in the same area
will be assured is not so clear.
Japan must renounce all illu-
sions Of grandeur. She will have
to start again in the area where
her interests were uncontested
for centuries and are uncontest-
ed at this moment.
Whatever other terms a de-
feated Japan will have to accept
we do not know, but territorially
the terms fulfill the basic condi-
tions of the Atlantic Charter.
And for Japan that is facing
certain defeat after inficting
unheard of humiliation and suf-
fering upon the world, no better
terms can be conceived Of

chooses to end the war without
waiting to have her cities blasted
off her islands.
Japan will remain a sovereign
and independent state. She will
retain her own indisputably
Japanese territories. But for the
first time Japan" as she will
exist after the war, has been de-
fined. The Japan that will re-
main, is the Japan that existed
half a century ago, before she
began to expand by conquest.
The first step of japanese i'm
perialism was her war with
China Of 1894 and 1895. At that
time Japan having, for two de-
cades previously, peacefully pen
etrated" into Formosa, then part
OF China, and into independent
Korea, intervened in Korean af-
fairs by armed force. China,
alarmed, interviewed on the op-
posite side, and Japan had COM
plete victory. In the peace treaty
Japan annexed Formosa and the
PescadoreS islands, but guaran-
teed the independence of Korea.
But step by step Japan extended
her privileges in Korea until, in
1905, she took over the direction
of Korean foreign policy, and
five years later annexed her.
The proposed peace with Japan
will restore the China Formosa
and the PeScadores and restore
independence to the Koreans.
Korea Is Stepping Stone.
Korea was stepping stone to
Manchuria. 1t was over the
Korean-Manchurian territ ory
that the Russo-Japanese war was
fought in 1904 and 1905. In that
war two expansionist tendencies
met each other - the expansion
ism of Tsarist Russia and of
Japan. Tsarist Russia wanted to
enlarge her Far Eastern prov
inces and gain an open warm
water port: Port Arthur. The
clash brought another japanese
triumph. The logical consequence
was that a quarter century later
Japan invaded Manchuria.
In that area there was a per-
manent contest between Russia
and Japan. The proposed solu-
ton, in the North African con-
ference, is to restore Chinese
sovereignty over Manchuria and
rob Japan of her stepping stone.
This solution must have been
arrived at with the consent Of
Russia, although Stain was not
present at this meeting. But
when the Soviet Union signed
nonaggression treaty with Japan,

to have them knocked out by a
Supreme Court not then packed
with New Dealers. Resentment at
this inspired Mr.. Roosevelt's attack
upon the court, and, after its failure
led him to place on 1t majority of
men who could be depended upon
to take his view, and with whom
he could talk things over"-a situa-
ton which certainly has added
neither to the dignity nor the pres
tiee of the court.
Then, there was the notable in
stance of the GufIey coal bill, in
which the President publicly urged
it's passage by Congress, "irrespec-
tive of any doubts you may have as
to its constitutionality." With a
record such as this, it Is not sur
prising to find the full administra-
ton weight behind two pending
bills, both Of which conflict with 4
basic principle of the Constitution
to wit, the right of the States to
determine the qualifications of its
voters, so long as they do not dis
or color" One of these bills repeals
the poll tax, which exists in eight
Southern States. The other is the
bill to allow all servicemen TO vote
in the 1914 election.
POll-Tax Arguments.
So far as the poll tax is concerned,
the arguments against it are as
we'll known as the forces behind 1t.
The latter are composed of the
Negro leaders, the radical and COM
munistic press and the CIO lobby
lists. Upon these forces the Roose-
welt fourth-term movement de-
pendS heavily for it's strength. Ex-
cept for pressure from them the
administration would have little in
terest in the repeal proposal-and
everybody knows it. The conten-
ton of the opposition is that the
poll tax does not discriminate
against the Negro in that it ap-
plies to whites as we'll as blacks and
that its repeal in the eight States
will not enfranchise any more
Negroes than vote today.
The fact is that some Of the
leading Senators who oppose the re-
peal do not favor the poll tax at
all. Rather, they would welcome it's
abolition but they insist that this be
achieved by constitutional means
either by action of the States or by
constitutional amendment. And
they justifably assert that the is
sue is of concern to every State and
every citizen; that if the Federal
Government can take away this
right to prescribe the qualifications
of their voters, vested solely in the
States by the Constitution, it can
take away any and all other rights.
Surrender this right and the States
will have completely lost their in
dependence and function only in
directions permitted by the Federal
authority. Actually. the fight
against this bill is of the very great
est concern to every person who
wishes to preserve the American
form of Government.

This Changing World

favored for sometime a campaign
in the Balkans into which Turkey
could be drawn as an active as
sociate. The British have two
armies In the Near East, marking
time. In addition, there are
about 10000 Polish troops in
Palestine. This force is fully
equipped and eager to fight. The
Russians, who In the past could
not see much use in opening any
other front except one across the
Channel, are said to favor a
Balkan operation.
American stretegists are be-
lieved to favor an attack against
Western Europe. They are con-
vinced that once heavy price
has been paid to obtain the
necessary beachheads, cam
paign through France would
bring the Allied forces to the
Rhine more quickly than an at
tack from any other quarter.
They reluctantly agreed to the
campaign in central Italy princi-
pally because they could see no
immediate result. They are re-
ported lukewarm to major cam
paign in the Balkans also because
Of terrain difficulties.
Terrain Again Difficulty.
Landings along the Adriatic
coast and at Pyraeus and Salon
ika are not impossible. We have
SUFFICIENT air superiority in the
Mediterranean to soften fortifl-
cations in those areas. Yet once
we land in the few ports avail
able for larsc-scale movements,
our forces will be confronted
with the task of crossing high
mountains. Moreover, lines of
communication in the Balkans
are very poor and modern armies
need adequate railroads and
highways, practically nonexistent
in the Balkans.
To top everything, supplies for
the fighting forces must come
from this country and fighting
in the Balkans means extending
our lines of communications by
another 1000 miles.
These difficulties naturally
have been discussed at Cairo. 1t
Is possible, however. that the
British have assumed the major
burden Of responsibility for such
campaign and agreed that the
opening of Balkan front would
not detract any Allied effort from
the British Isles, which will be
the jumping-ofT point for an
offensive next spring.
In such event, American STRAIT
eslSts could see no objection to
the establishment OF another
front which is likely to further
disintegrate Germany's military
power.

The three most important
rules include strict attention to
all orders given by the doctor,
complete cleanliness, and the
endeavor TO make the patient as
comfortable as possible.
Changing Bedding
The home nurse should know
how TO change the bedding with
a sick person in bed, and il
should be done with minimum
of strain on the invalid.
Usually the time chosen Is
when the patient has had a rub
down or sponge bath and fresh
bedding is especially welcome.
Loosen the blankets and roll

the underSheet and the draw
sheet out from under the mat

roll or fold them in straight
lines close TO the patient, max
ing these rolls or lines as fiat as
possible.
Then tuck the clean bottom
sheet and draw sheet in securely
at the side, and as far as pos
sible at top and bottom, making
a fiat roll close to the patient.
Lift Patient
At the head, place a clean
pillow. Roll back the top sheet
and blankets. Then lift the pa
tent onto the clean undersheet
by pressing down the roll and
mattress underneath.
Go to the other side of the
bed and draw off the soiled
sheet.
Pull the clean undersheet and
drawsheet through. pulling them
tight and tucking in we'll
A fresh top sheet can be put
on and blankets arranged with

careful never to uncover a pa
tent completely. even when
changing both sheets. Use an
extra blanket when necessary,
