conference in Bermuda. At the
same time we are importing labor
from the Bahamas and Mexico.
Now, If you look closely at the crea-
ture called refugee" and the crea-
ture called "laborer," you realize,
with a start, that they are the same
creature-man.
How Is 1t possible to say that we
cannot provide temporary haven for
q limited number Of refugees, at
time when we are importing Ba-
hannah and Mexican workers? One
man can come in because he is a
worker, and the other cannot come
IN because he is refugee. But
both are men and workers. They
would seem to belong in the same
file, not in separate compartments
Of the mind.
Should Drop Prejudice.
If thes food situation is 50 des-
perate as even to justify partial
rehabilitation Of the Army, which
was projected in one of the Bank
head bills, then it is desperate
enough to warrant laying aside
certain quantum Of our anti-refugee
feeling. If the picture is serious
enough to call for giving up the
military offensive, 1t is perhaps
serious enough to call for giving up
a prejudice or two.
But in the foggy annals of OBJ
scurantism it is easier to give up
the struggle than the prejudice.
Thus, there is that persistent
theory that we might as well pull
men out OF the Army to farm, be-
cause we lack enough shipping to
send all our troops and equipment
abroad, anyway. The Truman Com
mittee has just explained one reason
for lack OF shipping, which is, it
says, the Nays slowness in building
escort vessels to force our conveys
through. A truly vigorous and VIC
torious approach to the war would
call for enough escort vessels to
convoy our armies abroad, plus entry
of enough workers to raise the food
we need, damning the torpedoes
and the double-talk, both,

NEW YORK, April 27.-Mme.

Ambassador to Great Britain, de-
clared that the cancellation OF the
publication of her autobiography,
"Hui-Lan Koo," was due to the fact
her husband had been unaware she
was writing the book and always
had opposed such a project.
In statement yesterday, Nine.
Koo said that DR.. Koo, who arrived
in this country recently en- route to
his post in London, was naturally
anxious that in any case I should
exercise every possible. care before
letting the book come out to ses

She said she was impressed by her
husbands advice and had asked the
publishers to postpone publication
to give her more time to "once moro
60 over the book" She added the
hope that the book would be pub
lished soon.
The publishers Saturday sent the
cancellation order to 5000 book
stores which were ready to release
the book yesterday.

| describe some of the murky double
talk and facing-two-way trends
which mark so much Of the current
/ political debate.
This is obscurantism on the
march, with swords. We are making
big thing of importing 5000 farm
workers form the Bahamas. Here
are 100000 farm families, our citiz-
ems and brothers, who have been
helped by their pitiful Farm Security
Administration loans to the point
where they produced last year sc
per cent of the national increase
in milk, and u per cent of the ma
tional increase in dry beans, and
10 per cent In eggs and chickens
though they number but rs per
cent Of the nations farmers.
So we demobilize them out of their
farms, and We also import farm labor
meanwhile, and if that is not obscur-
antism I would like to know what
other word to paste on it.
City Legislators DISTINGUISHED.
And big city populations continue
to show an aggravating lack of in
terest in the issue. Twenty -four
New York City Congressman did
not even bother to vote on it. Yet
here is one point where farm and
city interests obviously come to-
gether. and at which the two groups
can take each others hand.
A small cabal of large farm op-
! orators, some of whom are produc-
F. ing staples of which we have sur
pluses, is having its way. It il
writing into the law its preference
for the one-sided collectivism OF
the large plantation, as against the
simple rural capitalism of the one
family farm. In the name Of fight
ing Communism, it is wiping out
the one Federal bureau which ha,
done more to promote private own
ership than any other. One calls
on friends of the free enterprise
system to prove that they believe
In 1t in the barnyard as we'll as in
the factory.
Now that: I have begun on "ob-
scurantism. let me carry 1t little
further: We are having q refuge.

tration had become almost GER
tain from the moment the Hell
sinki government refused our ad-
vice to get out Of the war. It
will not be until the war is over
that we will know the real reasons
the Finnish government failed to
heed our friendly suggestions.
For the time being, however,
Finland continues to night our
Russian associates. Consequently,
In order to show a common front,
our friends enemies must be our
enemies, too.
Some quarters will point out
that the same thing does not
apply in the case of the Moscow
government, which continues to
maintain friendly. relations with
Japan, one Of our most bitter
enemies. It also may be pointed
out that while the severance Of
relations between Finland and
America cannot in any way help
win the war, If the Russians
broke relations with Japan and
placed at our disposal their ex-
cellent airfields in Siberia we
would be in a better position to
wage war on two fronts.
Would Not Be Practical.
1t might be said that since we
are called to make a gesture to-
ward one of Russia's active enc
mics it would be q handsome
move on Moscow's part to make
a similar gesture toward one Of
our most active enemies.
But, in military quarters 1t is
pointed out that while all these
considerations unquestionably
are true from the theoretical
point of view, this is not possible.
Breaking OF relations with the
Firms means no additional bur-
den and increased war effort on
our part. The only possible dis
advantage is the fact that we

If the Russians, however, were
to follow suit and break of rela-

defeat is concerned. will continue
as 1t Is today. But If chat I'M
expected situation occurs, the
war will continue to be q factor
of great importance when the
American people cast their votes
for a President. who. under the
Constitution. will also be the
commander in chief.
The American people will be
thinking about a leader who can
carry the war to successful
conclusion. Last winter there
was much speculation about a
possible victory in 1943, with the
United Nations on top of the
world. Today the talk is turn
ing to a war of attrition, and
such q war may continue for
years. The comment is that
Hitler Is making of Europe an
armed fortress, that Japan Is
consolidating its great gains in
the Pacific. The U-boat menace
In the Atlantic has still to be
dealth with.
The Truman Committees re-
cent report that this submarine
warfare during the last year has
resulted in the destruction of
100000 tons of Allied shipping
q month. or 10000 900 tons In a
year, has had SOLDERING effect.
That means not only the loss of
huge number of ships, but also
the loss Of vast amount of
supplies and arms.
Voter Reaction Problems teal.
And 50 the politically minded
are figuring more and more that
the war will be in full swing
when the national campaign
gets under way next year In this
country. No one knows whether
the United Nations will have
made a dent in the Axis defense
OF the European continent.
Every one hopes for effective
c1ensives. both in the European
area and in the Pacific.
The voters will have felt the
pinch of war far more on the
home front than they have up to
the present time. How it will
AFFECT them when they 60 to the
polls to cast their. votes is still
a conundrum.
The gist OF the present politi-
cal situation is that OF all the
men discussed as presidential
candidates, only one seems today
a logical nominee of one of the
great political parties. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the one. Not
outstanding efforts of Demo-
cratic National Chairman Frank

campaign to renominate the

Two Views on Candidacy.
1t has been argued that the
President would weaken himself,
both at home and abroad, II he
should announce he did not in

the other hand, 1t is said that if
he withdrew himself as a candi-
date he would bring greater

The Political Mill
COP May Seek Wor-Experienced Candidate,

build himself up as . candidate,
and that the people would regard
him as man with but a single
purpose, the winning OF the war.
You can take your choice.
The Republican Party, when it
comes time to nominate a candi-
date, must give attention to the
war issue. They must select a
man to whom the people may look
for leadership in the war. They
will have to meet the slogan Of
the Democrats that they have a
candidate already versed in the
conduct of the war, a man who
has dealt with war leaders in the
other allied nations.
They have no one to offer with
such experience back Of him.
Wendell L. Willkie has had more
contacts with the war leaders
abroad than any of the others.
He has visited England. He
circled the globe last summer,
meeting the leaders, military and
political, in North Africa, the
Middle East, Russia and China.
Several Out of Race.
Gov. Bricker Of Ohio, to many
OF the Republicans their white
hope In the coming presidential
race, is barren of any such expert
ence. Others to whom the Re-
publicans might turn. like Gov.
Dewey of New York, Senator
Taft of Ohio and Senator VAN
denberg of Michigan. have de-
clared themselves out of the race.
They have had experience, it is
true. In dealing with the home
front, either as Governors of
their States or in the national
legislature. But they have had
no actual experience with dealing
with military problems and
strategy, or with the leaders of
the nations engaged on the side
Of the United States in this war.
The alternative OF the Repub-
licans is to select an outstanding
military or naval figure, to. meet
the charge Of the Democrats that
their candidate would be a babe in
arms when it comes to facing the
war problem. No one knows
what year of war may do in
bringing forward such man. If
the voters should turn to a mill
tary leader to make him not only
President but Commander in
Chief, 1t would be without his
own political efforts. He could
not conduct a political campaign.
His views on domestic problems
would be unknown
Vandenberg for Macarthur.
Up to date, the only military
leader whose name has been put
forward is Gen. Macarthur. That
he has many admirers in this
country is no secret. Gov. Stas-
sen Of Minnesota, who might
have been a candidate under
other circumstances, has recently
resigned as Governor and entered
the Navy with the rank of lieu
tenant commander.
There is one Republican leader
who makes no secret of the fact
that his candidate for the nomi-
nation is Gen. Macarthur. That
is Senator Vandenberg. To the
Michigan Senator, Gen. Mac
Arthur is not only great soldier
and leader, but the complete
answer to the expected Demo-
Garlic demand that President
Roosevelt be renominated and re-
elected because Mr.. Roosevelt has
had war experience. a knowledge
Of military strategy. Senator
Vandenberg is preaching the
Macarthur doctrine to his Re-
publican colleagues and to all
who listen, here. there and every

Reds Bitter Against Firms.
We Know, however, that the
Soviet government is very bitter
against Finland. The Firms have
been urged repeatedly to break
away from the Axis, but 1t ap-
pears that they wanted definite
guarantees from the United Ma
tons that should they accede
definite pledges should be given
that the existence Of Finland
would not be jeopardized.
Whether this meant that the
Helsinki government wanted It's
present territorial integrity re-
spected or was willing to pay the
price for having been on the side
Of the Axis for such q long time,
is difficult to ascertain.
In any event, some sort Of q
vague promise that Finland
would be taken care Of after the
war is likely to have been given
to the Helsinki government, but
this apparently was not q sufiici-
ent inducement for the Firms to
get out Of the war.
Will Go Hard on Finland.
They are said to have felt that
they would be sacrificed in any
even and decided to stick by the
Nazis whose diplomats have been
most active in Helsinki where
they had on their side the power
full Marshal Won Mannerheim, q
bitter foe OF Russia.
The severing of relations be-
tween America and Finland Is
likely to have disastrous results
for Finland. So long as we main
tanned friendly relations with
them there was q good chance
that at the peace conference We
might take up the cudgels for
Honest Little Finland"
Now, should the Soviet feel
that the security Of the Russian
empire demands the sacrifice Of
Finland and her partial or total
incorporation In the territory Of
the USSR, 1t will be difdcult for
this country to raise its voice In
the defense of the small Nordic
nation.
From the day we have broken
of diplomatic relations the slo-
gan adopted at Casablanca that
the only peace terms We can

surrender will inevitably be ap-
piled to the Firms as well as to
