Hitlers propaganda picture of Eu-
rope as fortress defending itself
against deadly enemies. Hitler has
tried to rally the Germans to him
by making his war appear to be
war of defense. If there is no major
offensive against Russia, and no
major change Of any kind in the
European picture this summer,
there may even result lift in Ger
man morale. Let us remember the
days when we used to base our hap
piness on the fact that no major
change was taking place
II we are glad that nothing big is
happening on the Russian front,
why should not the Germans be glad
Of that. too? This years nothing is
a big improvement for them over
last years something.

Id Rather Be Riqht-

an earlier period in the war, when
we appeared to have no affirmative
program of our own, when it seemed
like an enormous victory for us If
Germany were merely not attack
ing. We used to dread the summers
and long for winter and bad wealth
er, because then the German ma
chine would halt. There are 10
miles of open theological space be-
tween the hope that Germany has
stubbed her toe, and the deliberate
desire to smash her armies by our
own creative effort and will.
Russia's contribution has been her
disdain of the winter lull, her re-
fusal to accept the winter lull.
I should imagine that all sound
strategists, similarly, If they were
conscious of military superiority,
would want a German offensive,
would welcome it, would even seek
to provoke it. That should be our
spirit in the year 1943, and not this
flashback to 1940s mood of COM
fort in inaction.
The real question for us to Wor-
ry about is not whether Ger
many is able to take the offensive,
but whether we are. If we are, then
a German offensive against Russia
would be useful to us, by further
stretching and extending Germany's
armies and supplies, and making her
all the more vulnerable to a blow in
the west.
If we really are painting for an
offensive of our own, we can draw
no hearts-ease whatever from the
absence of German ditto. The
mood of rejoicing that the German
armies are avoiding conclusion is
the mood of avoidance of a con-
clusion.
1t is not our problem merely to
weaken Germany so that she is no
longer able to conquer the world
1t is our task to conquer Germany.
A breathing-spell is a breathing
spell for both sides. Germany prob
ably needs it more than we do. If
the Germans have really adopted
a strategy of inaction, the answer to
1t is not "Hurrah!" but action.

Patriotism Defended
By Lovett, Watson
And Dodd at Inquiry

Details of House Appropriations
subcommittee investigation Of
three Federal employees accused of
subversive activities, were revealed
late yesterday with belated release
of hearings held by the subcommit-
tee, headed by Representative Kerr,
Democrat of North Carolina.
The three officials involved,
Robert Morss Lovett, Government
secretary of the Virgin Islands, and
Goodwin B. Watson and William E.
Dodd, jr, employees of the Federal
Communications Commission, de-
Tended their patriotism before the
committee.
Charges were repeated frequently
in the hearing that Mr.. Lovett was
closely connected with Communists
and communistic organizations. In
response. he insisted he was not
ashamed of his defense of the Soviet
Union.
Denies Ind0rsing Philosophy.
Pressed sharply by committee
members concerning his Communist
Affiliations. Mr.. Lovett insisted he
was not responsible for the COM
munistic philosophy, adding, Il have
never indorsed it, and my associa-
ton with Communists has been
strictly for common ends which
believe in"
He admitted he was active as vice
president of the American League
Against War and Fascism, later
known as the American League for
Peace and Democracy, branded by
the Attorney General as "subver-
sive." He said he was a member of
the American Youth Congress,
American Mobilizati ton. the Amer
lean Peoples Mobilization and
others
DR.. Watson was quizzed sharply
by the committee which later
charged in its formal report that he
admitted association or affliation
with IL or more organizations, -
some of which were characterized
as front organizations and others
as questionable
Apologies for Writings.
Faced with Dies Committee
charges that he was affiliated with
the American League for Peace and
Democracy DR.. Watson said he
Joined in sponsoring congress for
peace and democracy held here in
Washington" He said, however, he
never attended the congress, and
had no part in its planning. At
that time, he said he did not believe
it was under Communist control, but
understood it now was under Com
munist control.
Criticized for some Of his writ
ings, DR.. Watson admitted that per-
! haps three or four" of them had
been dashed off too hurriedly," and
would come in for Legitimate criti-
cism"
II don't think that the sentiments
expressed there are things I would
expect you to agree with" he added.
II don't think they are things I my
self agree with now. I don't think
I should ever have said it."
Mr.. Dodd, questioned about his
affiliation with various organiza-
tions, explained he was a paid
member or worker" for the Ameri-
can League for Peace and Democ-
racy, but said he was not now men,

the meat to the civilian popula-
tion are being pushed to the wall,
losing from SO to $18 on every
head of cattle they slaughter.
This amazing situation, when
millions of Americans find It i'm
possible, even with food ration
points, to buy meat. is attrib-
uted by Representative Kleberg
of Texas arG representatives of
the cattle producers and inde-
pendent packers to the inability
or unWillingness of OPA and
other Government officials to act.
Mr.. Kleberg formerly was mana
ger of the King Ranch in Texas,
the largest in the country and in
the world. His brother is now
manager of the ranch. A special
appeal has been made to the
new food administrator, Judge
Marvin Jones, also of Texas, to
straighten out the tangle.
The nub of the trouble lies in
the fact that the packers are
forced to fix their prices on the
basis of a $3.50 per hundred
weight purchase price of high
grade cattle when as a matter of
fact these cattle are selling on
the market today for $17.50. 1t
is entirely an open market for
cattle. No ceiling price has been
fixed by the OPA on cattle.
Ceiling prices have been imposed.
however, on both wholesale and
retail prices of beef. Further,
there has been imposed 10 per
cent limitation on the kill of
cattle by packers.
Generally 1t has been believed
that the scarcity of meat was due
to the large quantities needed for
the armed forces and for lease
lCIlN. oQO VIC ldllo lCFCdlCo w
Mr. Kleberg, by Judge Joseph
Montague, general counsel for the
Texas & Southwestern Cattle
Association, and Wilbur La Rowe,
jr.. general counsel for the Ma
tional Independent Meat Pack
ers' Association, contradict this
idea At present about 80 per
cent of the meat is taken for the
armed forces, 7 per cent for
lease-lend and the rest goes to
civilians.
The sl750 price for cattle is
made in the open maIet. 1t is
due to the fact that many cattle
men are unwilling to sell, because
they do not know what to expect,
and are awaiting a sterilization
of the cattle and meat business

The Political Mill

through action OF the Govern
ment. 1t is due also to the lively
black market In meat, to the fact
the big packers seem willing to
pay these prices, and that chain
stores are slaughtering cattle
themselves, thus driving some of
the independent packers out OF
business. A flush market for cat
tie, it is said, always brings about
cattle surpluses. The cattlemen
hold on to their cattle, hoping to
breed more and to get the higher
prices for them.
Representatives OF packers in
New York and of chain stores
and independent retailers are
clamorlng tor a ceiling price on
cattle-presumably at the $3.50
figure on which the ceiling prices
tor meat are fixed now. When
ceiling prices are placed on pri-
mary production, however, there
IS always the danger they may in
terfere with production itself, at
time when production and more
production is vital. But obviously
something must be done to cure
the present situation, IN which
the American people feel the
pinch OF scarcity in the midst OF
abundance.
The charge is made that Ger
tain New Dealers are intent of
getting control. for the Govern
ment, Of the meat business.
Whether this is true or not, it
has been impossible to get any,
thing effective done so far about
the meat situation. But when one
packing house reports that 1t has
slaughtered II cattle in the period
in which it usually slaughters
1900, it is clear that something
is wrong.
Board of Experts Urged
So far the various Government
agencies have failed to get to-
gether Also some of the bureau
Gratis, it is charged, have failed
to follow the provisions of the
laws passed Congress. One sug-
gestion advanced by the cattle
men and packers is that meat
board, composed Of men who
know the business and not of
theorists, be appointed, much the
same as board was set up to
handle the problem in the last
war. 1t could also supervise all
Government purchase of meat, so
that the Army, the Navy, lease
lend will not be competing with
each other as they now are. Such
a board would be able to help
stabilize the prices of meat, by
fixing the prices of the Govern
ment daily purchases.
A day or two ago, packing
house wired here that it had re-
ceived an order from the Govern
ment for nine carloads-and it's
accountants had figured out the
company would lose $1,000 a car
on shipment. There was nothing
to be done but ship the meat,
and hope to get an adjustment
later, even if it became necessary
to go to the Court of Claims.
The OPA ordered a "rollback'
subsidy on the prices of meat.
But Congress had declared itself
against such subsidies. No money,
1t is said, has yet been paid on
this proposal.

In the New Guinea area, how
ever, the Allied forces are en-
countering somewhat sitter
opposition.
The limited objectives which
Gen. Macarthur has in mind
in both theaters of operations
are likely to be reached without
too heavy losses.
The enemy SO far has given
no indication that he intends
to take the counteroffensive or
create a diversion in face of the
superior Allied forces.
1t is unlikely, however, that
an attack on the main Japanese
base at Rabaul will take place
in the near future. The con-
quered bases must be organized
and larger forces gathered after
the present objectives have been
attained before the principal
attack against the vital Japa-
nese base north of the Solomons
can be undertaken.
Natives Oppose Japs.
In the meantime, the Japa-
nese in New Guinea and in
other occupied islands are hav-
ing difficult time with the ma
tives who, unlike those in Ma
laya and Borneo, are most un-
cooperative.
According to we'll ll-founded
reports, when the Japs first
entered New Guinea with a ma
rine force they treated the
natives-Who at first were in
clined to be friendly-with un-
believable harshness. Their food
was taken away. Forced labor
was imposed on every individ-
ual, regardless of age, and at

which was frequently caused by
failure to understand an order

The result was that from an
indifferent or, in many in
stances, friendly population, the
natives became bitter enemies
of the invaders.

in the other islands were &C

Postwar Policy Issue
Will Be Met in Fall
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Assurance that the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
would act this fall on the ques-
ton of committing the United
States to a definite postwar pol
icy was given today by Chairman
Connally.
In reply to demands by sponsors
for vote by mid October on a reso-
luton urging this Nation to take the
initiative in organizing the Allies for
postwar collaboration, Senator Con-
nally told reporters the committee
would act shortly after Congress re-
turns from its proposed summer re-
cess.
Il imagine that the subcommittee
which is considering the matter will
have a resolution of its own to re-
port, but I see little advantage ir
ldhlllS up bllC llldtISI GlllA1 dAtSA p1lC
recess" he said.
Time Grows Short, Ball Says.
Senator Ball. Republican. of Min
nesota, who led in the demands for
action on a resolution he and Sena-
tors Burton, Republican, of Ohio;
Hatch. Democrat of New Mexico,
and Hill. Democrat, of Alabama
offered. said he feared the time is
growing short for Congress to make
commitment of some kind to guide
President Roosevelt in his talks
with the leaders of others of the
United Nations
'The home front is IN bad shape
today because Congress and the
President have not been able so far
to agree on several domestic war
policies" Senator Ball declared.
How much more tragic it would be
if the same sort of disagreement
should wreck our chances of last
ing peace
He said this one reason alone was
sufficient, in his judgment, that the
Senate debate this issue fully that it
record its approval or disapproval of
various methods and varying de-
grees of collaboration after the war"
The demands for Senate action
came after Senators Vandenberg,
Republican, Michigan, and White,
Republican, Maine, introduced a
resolution whcih would pledge
American cooperation with other
nations to halt future aggression by
any necessary means"
Senator Vandenberg told reporters
that he and Senator White had not
consulted Democratic colleagues on
the Foreign Relations Committee in
offering the proposal.
Significance was attached to Sem
ator Vandenberg's co-authorship of
the new proposal, since he was
classed among the "nonintenven-
tionists" of the Senate who opposed
repeal of the arms embargo and
fought enactment of lease-lend be-
fore this country was plunged into
war.
Senator Vandenberg told report
ers a great deal of work had gone
into the framing Of tn eresolution,
with the obvious purpose Of pre-
pairing proposed commitment that
would leave this country free to act
in the way it thinks best after the
war, would preserve the Senate's
constitutional right to ratify treaties
and would not be interpreted as in
viting the formation Of an inter-
national supergovernment.
