Unparalleled Undertokino
From the London Times

From the London Times.
The building up Of American trans
Atlantic bases has long been in hand,
but is still vital for the Allied Nations.
The tactics OF today are exigent They
demand prodigal equipment, and they
condemn the best troops to defeat il
they should be lacking in any par
ucular Of it. The results of some of the
decisive struggles of this war-the de-
fense Of Egypt, the defense of Stalingrad,
the defense of the Salerno beach head
have turned upon narrow margins. This
Is an age when the possession or the
absence Of what may appear to be no
more than q gadget may influence the
course Of battle, which in its turn may
decide the fate of campaign. The
force that would adventure the invasion
OF continent In hostile hands and has
to move across great expanse of water
IN order to do 80 must be provided with
vast quantities of material which must
include apparently extravagant reserves
against accidents. That force, with all
Its multitudinous necessities, has to be
transported through waters in which the
enemy is probably now renewing the
offensive previously thwarted with so
much toll and at so great a cost. It is
indeed an unparalleled undertaking.

For Freedom
Dearly Purchased

Belored America, Our spirits go
On journeys OF Thanksgiving

Where moods in stiH-unraUcrc
beauty stand
And sere boughs Uait the ,UhiSper

We cross the harvest meado1cs.
Softly bright,
The dreaniness OF Indian summer
lays
Upon the resting fields a uistful
haze,
Dim as the breath of foUers, a pale
gold light.
No hostile foot has scaled the soli-
tude
OF mountain wilderness and kingly
peak
Where uoices of the uind and
torrent speak, -
Crags tDhere the eagle rears her

For freedom dearly purchased
through the years,
We hunbly knock at every

Where those vent out Who will

And bring grateful Nations lops

Dark Thought
From the Baltimore Sun.


The postwar world, As the National
Safety Council foresees it, will not be
entirely . gadget-ruled Elysium. On
the contrary, its early years at least will
be filled with highway terrors. with a
mounting score Of trafic accidents and
violent deaths. The factors making for
this result are almost completely con-
vincing as the council portrays them.
There will be, in the first place, millions
OF soldiers, Injured to danger and accus-
toned to taking risks. In the second
place, there will be more millions Of
civilian drivers, whose driving skill has
deteriorated, suddenly given full tanks
and rarin' to 60 places fast. A good
many Of them will have decfepit cars,
with tires worn to the danger point and
with structural defects Of all sorts.
Finally. they will be driving over
neglected roads. many In . sad state
of rspalF.

Our Forces Everywhere

The amazing itinerary of our
armed forces grows ever more
amazing. Their latest excursion Is
to the cleaning and difficult atolls
OF the Gilberts in the Central Pacific.
But that is merely one place among
the great number of places where
they are making their presence felt.
Never before in our history have they
Travelled nearly SO much, so far or
SO fast to so many strange and
different areas of the earth.
Two years ago at this time, before
the fateful attack on Pearl Harbor,
they were standing by passively in
Iceland, in the white silence of
Greenland, and here and there
southwark through the Western
Hemisphere. But since then they have
spread themselves out clear around
the world, in all the zones of climate.
They have sailed every sea, scared
along virtually every avenue in the
ocean of the air, marched against
the enemy from continent to island
and from island to continent,
through steaming jungle and arctic
waste.
They have smashed their way for
ward through the malarial Solomons
and the fetid hell of New Guinea.
Thousands of miles to the north, in
the fog and the bitter cold, they have
won back the bleak and treeleSs
Aleutians. They have gone to China,
to India. They have gone to the
British Isles. They have won un-
dying glory for themselves in Africa,
at Pantelleria, at Sicily. They are
in the Middle East. They are fight
ing and dying now in Italy.
Spin the globe and name the
places were they are not, or where
they have not been, or where they
are not likely to be. Islands, con-
tinents, seas, skyways-all OF them
OF any consequence have seen our
armed forces or will see them.
America, with the possible excep-
ton of the British Commonwealth
OF Nations, is unique in this. There
are geographical limits to Germany's
war effort, for example. and to
Japan's, and even to that of our
mighty Russian ally. But ours is
as wide as the world and as far
flung as the shores most distant
from us.
It is not a new thought to say that
all this Is bound to have q profoundly

stricting the freedom of the press as
we'll as Of speech.
1t Is most natural for politician or q
public man who is being criticized con-
corning his policies and his conduct to
want to restrict the freedom of the press
as well as freedom of speech so far as his
opponents are concerned. All Of us have
kindred feeling when We are assailed
in print or from the public forum We
want to silence our attackers But We
do not desire to have the same restric-
tions placed upon the freedom of our
pens or our tongues. The restrictions
of the freedom Of the press and of
speech are like a two-edged sword, they
cut both ways.
We now have laws against libel and
slander, and redress for grievances can
be obtained in our courts Those laws
are sufficient to repel unjustified attacks
upon ones character and reputation,
and no reasonable person will ask for
protection against justified attacks.
These leaders of minority groups are
asking for congressional legislation that
will restrict the activities of those only
who hate their fellowmen and who are
disseninators of emotional appeals.
That is all that tyrant asks for when
he oppresses the people-to have those
who hate him and those who dissemi-
nate emotional appeals against him re-
stricted. BY such means he can per-
petuate himself in office and crush all
uprisings against his oppressive rule.
These agitators even want "the mails,
the air and all other channels" placed
under Government censorship along the
same lines.
We hold ourselves above the abuse Of
religion or any color or race, but we do
believe it is unwise for the leaders of
minority groups to recommend such un-
American procedure along legislative
lines for preferential treatment. Passing
resolutions and enacting legislation of
restrictive nature will not eliminate
hate or emotional feelings but rather
will engender and inflame such passions.
No minority group can afford to carry
on such agitations. Such restrictions
beget boomerangs. c. S. LONGACRE.

The Reluctant DRAGON

Periodically during the past several
weeks, Secretary Knox and his top
admirals in the Pacific have been
taunting the Japanese fleet to come
out and fight, but like the reluctant
dragon, it apparently prefers to play
safe, content to bask in the ersatz
glory showered upon it by the Toxic
propagandists who are never at
loss to conjure up phantom victories
over the "annihilated' American
Navy.
Numerous commentators have dis
courSed learnedly in explanation of
this, suggesting that it is not neces-
sarily fear that keeps the enemy in
hiding but rather a strategical con-
cept envisioning seapower as a de-
fensive force primarily designed to
protect the supply lines of the i'm
perial army and to stand guard in
the home waters of the island
empire-a concept in sharp contrast
to the basic offensive policy classic
in American and British naval
thinking.
With all due respect to the COM
mentators, however, it may at least
be argued that the Japanese fleet
has avoided battle quite as much
because of sad experience as for
any farseeing strategical reason. In
the Coral Sea, off Midway and in
many engagements since, it has been
outmaneuvered and outfought so
often and in such one-sided man
ner that ship for ship, gun for gun
and man for man, it must feel itself
spectacularly outclassed by our naval
power. The latest case in point is
the Thanksgiving Day contest ninety
miles southeast of Rabaul, in which
one Of our light groups-reported to
be smaller than the eneny's-has
celebrated this fine American holiday
by intercepting a Japanese force of
six destroyers and sinking four of
them, with damage to a fifth, our
ships emerging from the action
unscathed.
engagements OF this sort-now
more or less common in the Pacific
must certainly constitute one Of the
main factors responsible for the
Evening star., 1943-11-25

influential effect on our postwar
thinking, but it is a thought worth
repeating. There was day when
we seemed wholly isolationist in
spirit, and now there is q day when
our Army, Navy and Air Force are
in the thick of action in both hemi-
spheres-millions Of young Ameri-
cans on a historic and often grim and
bloody itinerary which they will
never forget. These Americans, and
through them countless other Ameri-
cans, are not likely to stop thinking
Of the world when the war Is won.
Places that may seem far away to
many Of us at home will not seem
far away to them. They will re-
member the earth as something
small, and they will almost surely
be OF the mind that America will
have to play an active and CO.
operative role in it, not ever again
attempting to hold aloof.

THANKSGIVING

freSloent ROOSevelt'S ThankSgiv-
ing Day proclamation emphasizes
the Intervention of Providence in
behalf Of liberty and fellowship
Gods help" he says, has been
great" The blessings of the year
have been many. In brotherhood
with warriors of other United Ma
tlons, our gallant men have won vic
tories. have freed our homes from
fear. have made tyranny tremble,
and have laid the foundation for
freedom of life in a world which will
be free" At home "our FORCES and
hearths and mills have wrought
WELL" and "our farmers, victory
gardeners and crop volunteers have
gathered and stored a heavy har-
vest"
The thoughts thus expressed are
reminiscent of those which mott
waited Abraham Lincoln on a SIM
liar occasion in 1863 when he wrote:
Needful diversions of wealth and
strength from the fields of peaceful
industry to the national defense have
not arrested the plow, the shuttle or
the ship; the ak has enlarged the
borders of our settlements, and the
mines, as well of iron and coal as of
the precious metals, have yielded
even more abundantly than hereto
fore. Population has steadily in
creased Notwithstanding the waste
that has been made in the camp, the
siege and the battlefield; and the
country, rejoicing in the conscious
ness OF augmented strength and vigor,
is permitted to expect continuance of
years with large increase of freedom
No human counsel hath devised nor
hath any mortal hand worked out
these great things. They are the gra-
cious gifts of the Most High God, who,
while dealing with us in anger for
our sins, hath nevertheless remem-
bered mercy.
Conditions today. of course, differ
from those OF eighty years ago, yet
the ideals of the American people
have not changed. Mr.. Roosevelt
uses the language OF Lincoln when
he prays:
May we on Thanksgiving Day and
on every day express our gratitude
and zealously devote ourselves to our
duties as individuals and as Nation.
May each of us dedicate his utmost
efforts to speeding the victory which
will bring new opportunities for peace
and brotherhood among men.
BY no other doctrine than that of
fraternity and cooperation can tram
quillity in this earth be achieved. The
founders Of the United States knew
the essential truth and endeavored
to give it application in the widest
possible area. In repeated tests dur
ing more than century and half
their faith has been justified. The
global struggle now prevailing should
issue in universal democracy. It
is for what has been accomplished
through conservation, toll and sacri-
flee that Americas gratitude is
offered to the beneficent Father of
mankind.

Pass the Hebert Bill

plant by members OF Congress over
the time consumed in consideration
OF routine. municipal legislation, too
trivial to occupy the attention of
the United States Congress. If
they are in earnest about want
ing to rid themselves of this chore
they can do it by passing the Hebert
bill, which delegates broader dis
cretionary powers to the Commits
sioners in seven types of municipal
administration. The bill has been
pending since early in May. when
Mr.. Hebert introduced it after con-
sultation with municipal officials.
Under its provisions the Commits
Sioners are empowered to name a
bridge or street, authorize the laying
of pipe under highway or alley,
make more orderly and effective use
Of the city's force Of inspectors and
do number Of other things which
cannot be done now unless Congress
specifically approves.
In introducing the bill last spring,
Mr.. Hebert said that if he had his
way he would abolish all the laws
relating to the District government
and adopt a one-paragraph statute
vesting authority with the Commits
sioners to run the city. But il he did
that, he would find history repeating
itself and the courts undoubtedly
would nullify some of the Commits
sioners' regulations for which Con-
gress had failed to delegate precise
power. At the other extreme, he
would find Congress continually in
itiating legislation, with or without
the Commissioners approval, the
purpose of which might just as we'll
be accomplished under existing regu-
lationS of the Commissioners.
The truth of the matter is, of
course, that while there is a sub
stantial amount of trivial legisla-
tion, requiring action by Congress,
the members of Congress are ex-
tremely jealous of their exclusive
legislative control over the District
and are not inclined to pass that
control over to anybody else, or even
to share it without strict limitations.
The Hebert bill offers sound
method of reducing the need for
trivial legislation, and at the same
time would simplify the Commis-
sioners' administration OF municipal
affairs without impinging on Con-
gressional control. It specifically
delegates authority to the Commits
Sioners to act now in fields which
under old statutes are reserved
exclusively to Congress.
Congress should, as q matter OF
sound administration, delegate as
much discretionary authority to the
Commissioners as they can without
running afoul the exclusive legisla-
tion clause Of the Constitution. The
Hebert bill is a sound move in this
direction.

from the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Lord Vansittart's prediction that Hit

ally will be murdered by German gen.
erals, who will then try to patch up q
compromise peace with the Allies, is
only one of number of prophecies as
to what may happen when the Euro
pean war nears its end.
Its claim to attention rests chiefly
on the fact that it is made by the man
who probably is Britain's leading advo-
cate of extreme war guilt penalties
against Germany.
Certainly it is not beyond the bounds
OF possibility that the old-line German
Army officers, If they see civilian and

the nature Of its fundamental STRAIT
