cleaning up the mess in which the
organization had gotten. The
cleansing most needed is the wedding
out Of the collection of smalt young
radicals who were installed a year
or so ago and who have been having
beautiful time welding a power
for which they are utterly unfit and
handling problems the elements Of
which are far beyond their grasp.
1t has been charged that the OPA
has become the haven for scores OF
leftWing New Dealers, all getting
salaries greater than they ever had
before and all thrilled at the op-
portunitv OF trying out their soggy,
soCialiStic theories in fascinating
field where they could affect the
lives OF practically the whole popu-
lation. A machine OF more than
$4,000 individuals was quickly built
up and from the key men there
came the flood Of those absurd 1ues-
ttonnaires, orders. inquiries: instruc-
tons, proclamations and pronounce
nents that so irritated the recipients
and confused the public.
Simplifying Systems.
What Mr. Brown appears to be
doing is first, simplifying the sys-
tenn and second, changing and re-
ducing the personnel. If he does
nothing else, these two things will
be a great gain. Certainly, they are
the places to start, because OPA had
become not only so unWieldv that it
could not work but in addition it was
in the hands of the wrong people.
Already Mr.. Brown has made good
beginning In correcting the latter
basic defect. Within the past week
he has gotten rid Of Mr.. John
Hamm, deputy administrator under
Mr. Henderson, and Mr.. David Gins
burg, who. though he had never
tried a law case in his life, was the
OPA general counsel.
The story Of the 3l-vear- Mr..
Ginsburgs success In evading the
draft and of his recent efforts to
land commission in the Army have
been fully told in the press Probably
the best idea Of the situation is giveT
by the contrast between Mr.. Hen
dersons certif1Cation to the draft
board Of Mr. Ginsburg as an "indis-
pensable" or 'irreplaceable" man.
and Mr. Browns obvious relief over
his resignation. At any rate, Mr..
Hamm and Mr. Ginsburg have gone
and it is understood. in the reorgan-
ization now on, other OF the young
intellectualS," including several
bumptious college professors, who
are mot in harmony with the new
policy" are scheduled to disappear.
These developments have caused
pain in the higher New Deal cir
cles and some bitter things are
being said about Mr.. Brown in what
some regard as the inner circle"
But, that probably does not worry
Mr.. Brown. For one thing, he isn't

IN, Rome ana 1Okl0.
So strong is the belief of the
subjected nations in the pledge of
the President that In spite of the
grave difficulties confronting
rebels and guerrillas in their
action against the Nazi troops
occupying their countries, they
are all taking risks and have
begun to combat the invader
openly.
1t is assumed here that the
Short-wave broadcasts from the
United States are encouraging
the men Of Europe to rise against
the common enemy. What they
are told is a deep secret for us in
America since none of the broad d.
casts Is available either to the
public or to any officials OF the
Government.
But in responsible quarters It
is hoped that the genuine en-
thusiasm OF the broadcasters-
many Of them are natives OF the
lands which are now under the
Nazi boots not carrying them
away with rash promises.
Should Be synchronized.
The guerrilla warfare and the
sabotage OF the peoples existing
under the Nazi regime can be OF
tremendous Importance to the
invading armies, provided these
acts do not occur prematurelv
but are synchronized with our
military plans.
Rebellions such as have broken
out In France this week can Weld
but little result when Allied land
and air forces are not ready to
move against the European
mainland In force.
Not only do they mean the
sacrifice Of thousands of lives
which could be used 80 much
more advantageously when the
Allies actually begin their opera
tions, but the lack Of actual mill
tary support might dishearten
those who are willing to sacrifice
everything for their country.
Large-scale rebellions OF the
population are no longer possible
unless they are being backed by
strong organized military force.
The Nazi occupation forces have
planes and tanks at their dis
posal. The subjected populations
have only pistols. rifles and ma
chine guns.

The fact is that the more people

He does not have to get, as has

to secure public cooperation is to
convince the country that ne has
cleansed his agency OF its phonv

1t may take Mr. Brown some time
to get around to reorganizing his
department along the sound lines of
the price-f1xing machine of the last
war, but 1t is hoped 1t will not take
him as long as it has the heads of
other agencies which started out to
disregard the lessons of experience,
but in the end had to accept them.
1t is true Mr.. Brown is no ball

ershlp, shows ROYALTY exercised
with an enlightenment almost
unique in the business world.
Everything must be seen in its
correct frame Of reference. Mr..
Morgan was capitalist, in a
capitalist system. The only way
In which such a man can be cor
rectly Judged, in the light of his
times, is TO ask. How did he full
fill his function in such svs-
tenn? Was he reactionary? Did
he seek to halt economic evo-
luton? Did he contribute to
the breakdowns and chaos which
have characterized the century?
The answer to those questions
is clear. Mr.. Morgan set his
face against most of the moreS
Of the banking and industrial
world, both on domestic policies
and on international policies. He
understood both the nature and
the tasks Of the capitalist svs-
tenn, Since he was a capitalist,
he wished the system to fulfill its
tasks and It's duties.
Many Of the obituary notices
have pictured him as man who
knew how 10 get rich and richer,
and be, At the same time. An ami
able fellow. But that is neither
a description of the man or his
functions. His was not a preda-
tory intelligence. It was the in
teligence Of world minded
organizer who realized that the
prosperity Of the House OF Nor
gan depended upon the pros
perity Of the world. and that the
function Of a great banking
house lay in the field of economic
craftsmanship.
Understood Industrial Revolution.
Specifically, Mr. Morgan un-
derstood the nature Of the third
American industrial revolution,
and contributed to its develop
ment.
He also understood the func-
ton OF money and the advan-
tages and disadvantages Of the
role that gold had classically
played.
He understood the role Of
credit in promoting or disturb
ing international relationships.
He comprehended the interna-
tional disasters that. could be
precipitated by shortsighted pol
icies on the part of a great cred
itor nation like that of the United
States. He was never seduced by
economic nationalism, when that
was the tendency of most of the
capitalist world. He also under
stood the function of Government
spending inside a capitalist sys-
tenn, And he set himself against
speculative booms when his own
world was hailing them as the
dawn Of the millennium.
To these must be added the
fact that ne maintained a cour-
ageouS policy in the face of a tre-
mendous amount Of undiscrimi-
mating smearing Therefore. II
must be said that in the frame Of
reference Of his age and its prob
lens and tasks, he performed
great services that might have
been much greater, had he been
less isolated in his class and in
the political party to which he
belonged.

This Changing World
Premature Rebeons Against kozis Will Fail,
Causing Unnecessary Sacrifice, DISAGREEMENT

These can be employed effec-
lively against the enemy when
he is occupied with repelling an
Allied army which Is attempting
TO land on the shores of Europe.
But they are of no use so long as
the Germans are not actually
fighting off forces possessing the
same type Of modern weapons as
they possess A fight Of bombers
or detachment Of tanks can put
down the most stubborn rebellion.
The British realize this. and
Whenever a major Commando raid
takes place they warn the in
habitants Of France not to risk
their lives uselessly and invite
bloody reprislals from the Nazis
by Joining the Commands.
The recent outbreak in West
ern Europe might have been
caused by some misunderstand-
ing Of the leaders of the future
auxiliaries of our inva ding forces.
In spite of the warm desire Of
Allied leaders to fulfill the
pledges given by President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Church
Ill after Casablanca, 1t would be
rash TO believe that An attempt
to invade the European continent
Is contemplated in the very near
future.
Allies Need More Ships.
Large forces, of course, are
available in Great Britain, where
a powerful British Army has been
trained for more than two years
in the type of operations neces-
sary for the invasion Of Europe.
There also is An American force,
much smaller than the British,
ready for similar task.
But troops and planes alone
are not sufficient to break the
Nazi power In Europe. We also
need a large number Of ships to
increase our forces In the British
Isles. to send the necessary am
munition and supplies and We
also need large number of
barges for such an operation.
The shipping situation remains
the darkest part Of the picture.
The production of transports and
other types Of merchantmen has
considerably increased during
the last II months. But 50 has
the submarine warfare. While
In December and January the
losses were considerably smaller
than previously, the toll taken
by the U-boats increased some
what in February and has greatly
increased in March.
Hitler's all-out submarine war
fare is scheduled to start this
month. Latest available reports
show that all the necessary prep
arations have been completed In
Germany and that the number of
packs on station in the Atlantic
has been greatly increased.
The submarine menace can be
combated only by very large
number Of escort vessels and,
until they are ready, 1t Is doubtful
whether we shall be In a position
to fulfill the pledge of President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill to
invade Europe.
