The Patton Incident

THE American public has had the facts about the
/ called Patton Incident long enough now to review
them calmly and dspassonatey
The wholly justified sentiment Of the people is that
Gen George Patton guilty of an abominabe oense
in assaultng hospitazed soldier
It was in fact an oese nothing short of an outrage
And instead of ing mere private rehuhe,
administered by Gen Eisenhower and promotion TO
the permanent rank of major generals the Presidents
recommendation before Congress would provide
Gen Patton rather deserves effective rebuke and
certainly refusal by Congress to promote him in view
of his dsgraceful and demoralizing performance
Secretary of War Stmson, in his defense of Patton,
declares that the value to country Of Gen Patons
aggressive winning leadership in the bitter battles which
are to come" must be considered.
But Gen. Patton's methods not winning methods
for American army.
Those methods SAVIOR too much Of the Prussian sys-
tenn to inspire sacrifice and devotion in army of Ameri
boys fighting they told for liberty and democ
racy and fundamental justice.
Moreover the seriousness of the Patton and the
resentment of the people in regard to it considerably
aggravated by the customary department suppression
of facts and the subsequent classification of them
THE usual and wholly untruhful and insincere excuse
offered for this bureaucratic suppression and misin
formation is that public knowledge and discussion of the
incident would have resulted in advantage to the enemy
Yet it is ptfullY obvious that if the enemy agents
in the Mediterranean area were unaware of the incident
they more dumb and blind than they have shown
themselves to be before in all their history
The entire Allied press contingent in the knew
about it.
All the American troops in the knew about it.
Hundreds of persons familiar with it had returned
to their homes and talked about IT.
So the American people were THE ONLY ONES at
any time msinformed about it and more of them
hearing the truth about it indirectly every dav

with perverted truth that was no better than papable
falsehood
THE disturbing thing about all this is that we are
T. &Nuoy. ssing totaaranzed bigger way than the
most pessirHstic of us have supposed
The practice o c0ne ealnnnc and misinformatSn is
not the privilege of democratic army, although the
example for such Justification of facts has been fully and
firmly set by the incumbent political administration
There are doubtless elements in the American mill
tary establishment Indifferent to the democratic rights Of
the people h>wartime.
But what the military establishments must be made
to understand and have had unpeasanty impressed upon
them by the Patton incident, is that ARE democracy
whether the military suppressionsts like it not, and
that they compelled to conform to the rights of
democratic people whether they like it or not
AS for Gen Patton himself, he may be competent
general of the blood and CUTS type, but he is not
competent military LEADER for democratic army
for a democratic nation.
The less his military rank and the less his authority
and the less the force of his example the better for the
morale of the army and for the morale Of the czenry
T. EN- PATTON is far from being military genius,

Gov. Bricker declared that
voter acceptance of that fact
was revealed in his piling up OF
heavier votes each time he APP
peared before the voters.
before his three successful
ID campaigns, Mr.. Bricker in
1886 induced half million vot-
erS 10 split the ballot in has
favor. Nevertheless. ne lost by
127,000 votes. Two years later
Mr.. Bricker won by more than
10000 votes. and in 1910 by
100000 votes. In 1912 he raised
the margin of victory TO $4,000
votes.
Mr.. Bricker. in opposing a
fourth term even for a governor,
told me that for the incumbent
10 stay in power too long would
thwart the will of the people
and jeopardize democratic proc
eSSes.
He pointed out that he had
$4,000 appointees in the state,
and that they and their families
probably represented close TO
100000 votes.
Mr.. Bricker favors submitting
a federal amendment to the
Constitution limiting the tenure
in the presidency, preferably 10
two four-year terms or possibly
10 one Six-year term.
If he is elected next year, Mr..
Bricker said that he would run
the office with no thought of
reelection. and contrary 10 con-
ventional political thought he
believes that public opinion
would hold Congress in line be-
hind a one-term president pro-
vidcd the voters approved of his
policies.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29-'The

Keynes and White plans for

ton are being hailed as fore
runners of the better financial
world we are 10 come into
after the war.
Actually. they do not even
approach the real depth and
scope of the seemingly insolu-
able problems of trade and
finance TO be faced.

cilities. They provide only

Il different Supposedly we

expand our markets abroad.
and collect from Russia and our
Allies money or material under
the lend-lease arrangement.
If we follow this course on
the road which prevailing public
thinking is taking us, we will
merely repeat the foolish poll
cieS we followed after the last
war.
Then we loaned money abroad
in similar cndeavorS. and the
international bankers sold bonds
TO the public 10 finance foreign
ventures on the theory that such
action would expand our foreign
trade.
This time. the only difference
in these proposals seems to be
that the treasury will be the
international banker and the
losSes-which are unavoidable
will be taken out of the public
purse directly.
The only way nations can
really pay us is by shipping us
goods. AS long as we con-
tinue to lend them the money

continue TO pile up debts in
this country, whether held by
the public in the form of bonds
or by the treasury.

agreement can alter the fact
that we propose TO go on sell
ing more goods abroad than we
buy and paying for this excess
out of our own pockets by taxi
ing debts.
The debts can never be paid
until we take the goods, and
as there is no likelihood of us
ever accepting such vast eX-
cess of imports, the debts
actually can never be paid.
What is proposed is TO per-
petuate the unbalance Of our
trade by taking on more debts
than can ever be paid While
officials, in. their zeal for inn
proving the world, may not
like TO look the situation
straight in the face like this,
it is nevertheless true, in my
opinion.
Certainly this country is not
going TO stand for a free influx
of foreign goods, for instance
low-priced Russian and Chinese
goods, to any extent which
would disturb wage and employ
ment conditions in our indus
tries.
Obviously, a policy of negotia-
ton of exchange of goods for
goods would solve most of the
difficulties, but that would heap
more dirt on the gold we have
buried down in Kentucky. max
ing it less and less important.
