men work closely together. I
have seen innumerable examples
of this cooperation lately in
journey to England, broken by
halts at two foreign bases that
are key outposts for the war
against the U-boat.
While I was ambling around
an American bomber station in
England one afternoon, giant
Lancaster, one of the British
planes that carry the block
busters, few in for a visit. 1t
carried a new secret device of
great value in Allied bombing
operations over Europe.
A high officer disclosed that the
device had been made available
to the American bomber COM
mand as soon as the British per-
fected it. There is complete in
terchange of information.
AS a member of a party which
had been spending several weeks
in Sweden, I was interviewed by
Gen. Jacob Devers, commander
of the European Theater of Op-
erationS, with my comrades on
our findings. He subsequently
suggested to British military in
telligence that they interview us
and obtain the same information
he had received.
Mutual Praise.
Maj. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, COM
mander of the American Army's
9th Air Force, operating out
OF England, praises the British.
Chief Air Marshal Harris, who
controls British bombing opera
tions out Of England praises the
Americans.
They speak these lines without
hokum In the privacy of their
homes. The old quarrel between
British and American airmen
about the value of the FLYING For
tress for bombing operations over
Europe apparently has died. The
BIS and the Liberators have
been conducting daylight raids
through German defenses for a
year now. No other air force in
the world has been able to main
tain daylight operations in the
European theater.
The British acknowledge the
magnificence Of this performance.
American and British economic
intelligence experts work together
on the plotting of the bomber in
dustrial targets. The round-th
clock bombing is charted by
American and British military
leaders Grating as a unit.
Social Relations Easy.
The easy relations between
military representatives OF the
two Allies extends into the social
sphere. An appearance of CO.
operation in official affairs can
perhaps be forced, but there was
nothing forced about the iovialitv
with which American and British
officers Joined in the whirls of a
Scotch reel at a British antiair-
craft headquarters where I at

perience which he had contemptu-
ously rejected.
But when he does act he does 1t in
a grudging way. never really re-
linquishing authority nor giving the
fifth-rate men he puts In the key
positions the sort of support he ac-
cords the Army Navy high COM
mand
Thus on the one side we have,
directing our war strategy trained,
competent men who are not inter
fered with by the President but
intellectually supported by him,
while on the other we have incom-
petent and inexperienced men
handling jobs much too big for
them, even II they were not handi-
capped by political considerations
and lack of White House backing
All of which explains why we are
doing well in the one field and
very badly in the other.
Other Attitude Recommended.
Clearly, we would do we'll in both
if the President could be induced
to adopt the same attitude toward
domestic management that he has
shown toward military and naval
affairs. If he would do that the
face of things would change and the
whole war effort be strengthened
and accelerated
For, no matter how competent the
makers OF war strategy may be, they
are utterly dependent on the man
sgement of domestic affairs for the
force to make their strategy ef1ec-
tive. The effectiveness of our mill
tary and naval plans is diminished
in exactly the ratio that the home
front is bungled That Is why it is
so important for the President to
change his way OF dealing with the
latter.
What needs to be done is, first, to
weed out the incompetents; second
TO draft in their place the ablest
and most experienced men in the
country; third. really to support
them instead of merely promising
support and then not giving it, as
the President did with Chester Davis
and as he has done with others;
fourth, TO forget personal dislikes
and the fourth term.
If Mr.. Roosevelt could be brought
to do these things. not only would
speedier victory be assured but his
own diminished prestige might be
largely restored.

Bates Released Again
After Contempt Appeal

Harrison Bates, AZ and socially
prominent. who, yesterday. for the
second time, found himself in the
custody of the United States marshal
when Justice James M. Proctor of
District Court discharged q writ of
habeas corpus obtained July /, again
has been released on bond-this time
pending an appeal from a contempt
Of court judgment.
Chief Justice Edward c. Eicher
on June 80 had adjudged Mr.. Bates
in contempt in connection with
failure to obey court order to paw
temporary maintenance to his wife.
Mrs. Dorothy Nicholson Bates of
Chevy Chase, Md. The defendant
was adjudged in contempt by virtue
of being $3.50 behind in payments.
On July /, after being held in
custody for several hours on the
contempt Judgment, Mr.. Bates was
released under s700 bond pending
the hearing yesterday ON the habess
corpus writ. Justice Proctor refused
to allow Mr.. Bates to remain on
bail, pending appeal from the dis
charged writ. Arthur Hilland, Mr..
Bates attorney, filed an appeal from
the contempt judgment and took out
q supersedeas bond of $1,000 pend
ing the outcome of the appeal. The
bond guarantees payment of the
$3.50 in the event the appeal is lost.
The wife. Mrs. Bates, is repre-
sented by Attorney Jean Boardmsn.

few of his friends defend or oens
tbs exceedingly obvious home-front
bungling.
Experts Decide Strategy.
The explanation lies in the dif-
ferent way in which Mr.. Roose-
welt approaches these two widely
separated yet closely linked activi-
ties.
Take, first, the war strategy. 1t
ia, OF course, absurd to think, as
many do, that the President decides
either military on naval strategy
The high strategy is no more made
by him than 1t is made by the
Secretary of War or the Secretary
of the Navy. Military strategy If
made, as it should be, by the chiei
of staff and the generals. and naval
strategy is made by the admirals
All the President does and the Sec
retsries do is approve.
1t is true that strategy Is SUBJ
mitted TO the President and to the
secretaries and they are consulted
and advised In advance. But strategy
is not made by them; 1t is made by
the experts, whose lives have been
devoted to the study of war prob
lens. and the Idea that in such
matters they are overruled or d.
rected by the civilian who is COM
mander in chief or the civilians who
head the departments is not we'll
founded. 1t would be tragic, indeed,
if that were so.
Accepts Expert Opinion.
The truth is that toward these
experts Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude is
one of real humility. Sometimes he
has his own ideas as to what should
be done, but when these are not in
accord with the judgment Of the
experts he bows TO that judgment.
He does not insist that he knows
better than the trained men. but
supports them. That is why our
armed forces are making so superb
a showing abroad.
The makers of our strategy are
the men who best know their JOB,
and they are not being interfered
with by the President or any one
else. And they are not yes-men.
They do not have to be, and neither
polIt1cs nor psrtisansnip enters INTO
their relations with the President.
On his side. he respects them as
individuals and technicians, and IN
dealing with them he forgets his
personal pretudices and political
ambitions. Nor is ne In position TO
dispute their Judgment or order
them around On the contrary, ne
yields always to their superior
knowledge.
Sure Of Himself in Politics.
1t is very different on the domestic
side. There both politics ana per-
sonal prejudice enter into the Roose-
welt approach. There he has no
trace OF humility, but very nennlte
and dissgreeable superiority COM
plex. There he is opinionated,
prloeful and very sure mat ne
knows best.
He Is extremely reluctant to take
advice from able men whom he
does not control or accept aid from
those whom he personally or polltI-
cally dislikes. After months of delay
and to avert disaster he is usually
forced to act on the counsel of ex-

push ahead with everything they
have At their disposal.
But II the going appears to be
too tough for the Hitlerites, the
present battles may be confined
to an offensive of local scope.
At this time, it appears that tn,
German high command is de-
termined to straighterl out It's
defensive lines by an attempt to
recapture the important town of
Kursk, where the Russians are
entrenched solidly. If they sue
ceed they would have a more
favorable strategic position for
future operations.
Watchword "Wait and See"
The watchword in Washington
is wait and see" The Nazi high
command, which is careful about
its statements when an offensive
is under way, gives no indication
of It's intentions. Observers here
maintain that II in the course of
a week the operations extend to
the north, there no longer can be
doubt that the Germans are at
tempting the greatest gamble in
their military history.
The Russians appear TO be de-
Tending their positions with the
same determination as previously.
But the military operations are
only few days old and no ma jor
breakthrough could be expected
in such short time, particularly
when the defending forces out
number the attacker in most of
the battle areas.
According to available figures,
the Russians have about 300 di-
visions concentrated on the
Stalinsrad-Kharkov front, against
about 200 Nazi divisions. The
communications behind the forti-
fed and entrenched area are
satisfactory and the Soviet high
command always can rush i'm
portant forces TO whatever area
is menaced, so long as the enemy
offensive is local in scope.
The absence of American and
British military observers in the
fighting zones makes it difficult

to cheek on the Germans claims.
From their reports. 1t would ap-
pear that the Liftwaffe ia en-
gagged now mainly in trying to
destroy the Red lines Of com
nunications between their sup
ply bases and the battlefront.
Picture Not Clear.
How successful the Luftwaffe
has been Is a matter OF specula-
tion. II we knew definitely the
Importance and the size of the
Nazi air attacks on the rear Of
the Russians the picture would
became clearer and more sde-
quate picture OF the Nazi inten-
tions could be obtained.
Now that the Russians are
heavily engaged, 1t is dif1lcult to
press Moscow to relent on the
exclusion of our military observ-
ers from the front. The Russians,
who never have been very liberal
with foreign officers 'prowling" at
the main fronts, can tell us that
the intentions OF the Nazis are
more interesting to them than
they are to us since it is the Rus
sian soldier who has to bear the
brunt Of the Nszi attack.
The objective OF the enemy, we
are being told, would have been Of
paramount Importance to Wash
ington and London If an Allied
force were ready to cross the
Channel and invade Western
Europe. But since we are mark
ing time, intending to attack the
Axis strongholds in the Mediter-
ranean, we must be satisfied with
what the Soviet high command
tells our military observers at
kuibyshev.
German Hopes Not Raised.
The official Nazi communicates
tell OF bitter fighting and sue
cesses, but do not dare raise the
hopes OF the German people that
a ma jor offensive has started, ap-
psrently for fear of disappointing
them.
In responsible military quarters
here. the battles developing in
Russia are followed with an even
keener interest than the cam
paign in the South Pacific. We
know that the forces of Gen.
Macarthur have been given a
definite assignment which will be
carried out successfully. But we
also know that fulflllment of their
mission will yield lis only some
more stepping stones for other
important, but equally local &C.
tions tending to dislodee the Jap
snese from Rabaul and their
positions in the New Britain
islands.
The success Or failure of the
Nazis on the eastern front-in the
event present fighting is the be-
ginning OF their third summer
offensive-will have momentous
repercussions on the whole out
look OF the war.
