Food is strategic war material.
Food is essential civilian material.
Soldier, Sailor, and civilian alike
must have food. There are some
things people can do without, but
food is not one of them. We need
plenty of food to win the war and
to safeguard the peace after the
war.

American farmers during the

food products are becoming scarce
because vast quantities of food
are being shipped to our soldiers
and our allies. The need for ship
ment of still larger quantities to
our fighting allies and to starving
people in the countries freed from
axis control, grows daily.
All of this adds up to the big
gest job American farmers have
ever been called upon to do. With
more than one and half million
OF the youngest and most skilled
workers lost from the farms to
the military services during the
past year, with even larger num-
bers of farm workers gone to in
dustry, and with the drain of both
military service and industry on
agriculture continuing, how can
American farmers produce all of
the food and fibre needed in 1913?
That is one of the questions ag-
rlcultural leaders and farm people
will attempt to answer on ! arm
Mobilization Day. On that day
President Roosevelt has asked that
all farmers meet with agricultural
leaders in rural communities thro-
ughout the nation to discuss ways
and means of insuring for 1943
the maximum production of vital
food upon every farm in this coun-
try.
To obtain the necessary pro-
duction, every farm will have to
produce to maximum capacity. All
efforts will have to be confined
to essential production. Every farm
program must be soundly planned.
The right crops must be planted
on the right acres. Good seed of
the best varieties, planted on well
prepared soil fortified as literally
as the availible supply of fertil-
izer will allow, are some of the
things that will have to be done.

RESENTMENT

The resignation of Leon Hend-
erson as Administrator of the Of
flee of Price Administration is
generally regarded as a victory
for congressional critics who have
opposed his stringent regulations
designed to prevent initiation.
Mr.. Henderson's relations with
Congress were somewhat strained
but the general opinion is that no
price administrator con expect to
please congressman of the people.
The regulations necessary to
prevent price increases arouse re-
sentiment and in time, enough of
it to unhorse the administrator.

SAVINGS

Individual savings in 1912 are
estimated at the unprecedented to-
tai of $4,000, 000,O0 by the De-
partment of Commerce, which says
this is twice as much as in 1941
and more than three times as much
as in 1910. Such savings contribute
to the fight against initiation but
will not have any great effect un-
less they are somewhat perman-
ent.

ports brought back by airmen
from the bombed areas are so
satisfactory that even those who
were most skeptical about the
efficacy Of that type of warfare
are inclined to give the air arm
its chance.
No effort will be spared hence
forth to make the American Brit
ish squadrons as effective as pos
sible by replacing with utmost
haste the losses they are suffering
in the raids over Western and
Central Esrope where the main
Nazi war industry is located.
In the meantime, there is real
anxiety over the Forthcoming
Nazi operations in Russia, where
there is that ominous silence
which usually precedes a storm.
Planes Put at 5000.
A study of the enemy's air
power indicates that Reichsmar-
shal Hermann Goering has at his
disposal a force of about 5000
f1rst-line planes.
About rs per cent of his force,
which includes the most up-to-
date machines the Nazis have
built in the last few months, is
concentrated against the Rus
slams.
How much Importance the Hit
lerites are placing on their third
summer offensive against the Red
armies is illustrated in the fact
that practically the entire Ger
man aviation has been withdrawn
from Southern Europe and the
Mediterranean where the Ger
mans have left only older type of
planes which could not be very
useful on an active battlefront.
1t is true that in recent weeks
more fighter squadrons have been
detailed to the home front. But
it is doubtful whether more than
the absolute minimum has been
ordered to defend as best they
can the Nazi industrial centers.
In the light of this information,
which is regarded as fairly ac-
curate, it appears to the Ameri-
can and British strategists that
when the Nazi assault breaks
loose it will hit Russia with a far
greater violence than ever before.

Four 'SeIf-Interested' Groups Called Leaders

stream. Instead they ignored the
war altogether and frankly declared
that "the issue will be the New Deal
against the old"
The point here made is simple but
significant. The classes which to-
day are working to stretch the
Roosevelt incumbency to 16 years
are not doing it because of the war.
Mr.. Dubinsky, the labor leader,
speaking for one of these groups, is
concerned primarily in continuing
New Deal policies, by which, of
course, he means its labor policies.
The second group is composed of
the city machine bosses through
whom the immense Federal patron
age has been distributed for the past
10 years and who also have been
recognized as distributing agents of
public funds poured out in pursuance
of the New Deal spending policies.
They are for the fourth term for
the same reasons they were for the
third term Another group is COM
posed of the thousands upon thou
sands of Federal jobholders, from
Harry Hopkins down, whom Mr.
Roosevelt lifted out of obscurity, but
who will return to it once he leaves
the White House.
There is fourth class composed
of Senators and others who rode into
elective office with Mr.. Roosevelt
and have thriven on his favor.
These are the four groups now
openly working for another draft" :"
With not one of them is the war the
primary cause of their activity. All
of them would be for 16 years of
Mr.. Roosevelt if there were no war
Every one of them has an over
whelmingly selfish reason for keep
ing him in Office indefinitely.
With them the war may become
the excuse, but it is not the reason.
With them it is a matter of political
self preservation to keep Mr.. Roose-
velt in and they are hard at work
on the job.

as gesture toward the democ-
racies." 1t is made for Russian
interests, and in order to free the
hands of Russian nationalism.
1t is also, in all probability, part
of a general agreement which
Stain is trying to reach in re-
spect of postwar arrangements,
involving such questions as Rus
sian borders, spheres of influence
and alliances with the western
powers.
Such arrangements have long
perspectives. To assume that
Stain is temporarily" suspend
ing the Comintern, at a moment
when he Is trying to reach agree
ments for a period Of decades, is
childish. The Russian British
treaty, made for 20 years, is a
proof that Stain Is thinking in
terms of decades.
1t is the move of nationalist
statesman who Is thinking wholly
in terms of the future of Russia,
and not in terms of the future
of the working classes of the
world.
That is the way he has been
thinking for many years, and the
evolution of the Comintern has
proved it. In fact, the issue:
Russia versus the International
revolution, was the basis of
Stalin's coming to power, and it
is law of politics that people
maintain their power by the same
means through which they
achieve it.
Trotsky Made Treaty.
Previous to the Russian revo-
luton, there were international
socialist and labor movements
with affiliations in every Euro
pean country But since there
was no Socialist country, there
was no leading power or visible
national leadership.
In 1919, after the success of
the Bolshevik Socialists in Rus
sia, Lenin founded the Third In
ternational. This was completely
logical, for in Lenin's concept the
Russian revolution was only the
start of the world revolution,
and Russia was not even the main
object in the world revolution.
This attitude was illustrated
when Trotsky concluded the
Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with
Germany, under which large
portions of the Russian Empire
notably the Ukraine-were given
up. The theory back of this was
that it did not matter whether
the Ukraine was under Russian
or German control, because the
world revolution would wash out
nationalism anyhow.
The concept of Lenin and
Trotsky was that it would be i'm

nified and virtually without flaw
in his diction. Cecil Wright, 33, made
personal plea to the Circuit Court
of Appeals yesterday for writ of
habeas. corpus to free him from
Alcatraz Federal Prison.
In case without precedent, the
Illinois post office robber stood for
more than an hour before three
judges and argued his self prepared
plea.
Il sincerely believe I have paid my
debt to society" Wright declared.
Il believe it is a miscarriage of
justice, in that I am being called on
to serve two terms-being punished
twice for the same offense''
He referred to his conviction in
1880 as a member of the Chris"
gang in drugstore and post Office
robbery at Danville, ILL.,, and to his
being sentenced to term in a State
prison and also a Federal prison for
the same crime
The three judges paid close atten-
ton to Wright's arguments and then
took the case under advisement.

Stains Liquidation Of Comintern
Seen as Long Term Notiono|istic Move

possible to maintain the Russian
revolution in a capitalist world.
They awaited the outbreak of
the revolution in all the highly
industrialized European coun-
tries, and the Comintern was a
genuinely revolutionary instru-
ment. But by the time of Len
ms death, in January, 1924, it
was clear that his calculations
had failed.
Astonishingly enough, from
the viewpoint of Communist
theory, Russia had been success
full in defeating the internal and
externally inspired counter
revolutions, while not even the
strongest Communist parties in
Europe, not even those in de-
feated and chaotic countries, had
achieved their own revolutions.
In the fight over the success
sorship to Lenin, between Stain
and Trotsky. is to be seen the
nucleus of the developments of
this week. Stalin's idea was
Socialism in one country" as
master picture of what could be
achieved. Trotsky clug to
MARKHAM theory that this was
both impossible and a betrayal
of the world revolutionary idea.
In Trotsky's opinion the COMM
tern took precedence over the
Soviet Union. The Soviet Union
was but zone victory of the Com
intern, and even the life of the
Soviet Union was worth risking
for greater purposes.
The successive purges in Rus
sia have been purges of this idea,
and historically, it was not by
chance that the first man to be
shot as a result of the trials
was Zinoviev, the first president
of the Comintern.
Stain Feared Attack.
Under these circumstances,
considering the fact that the
Russian Communist party always
has controlled the Comintern,
with stern authoritarian leader
ship. why was it not dissolved
after the final victory of Stain
over Trotsky Is years ago?
1t was not dissolved because
Stain saw in it a useful instru-
ment for a quite different pur-
pose than the one for which it
was originally formed.
Stain transformed the branches
of the Comintern into outposts of
Russian policy in the capitalistic
countries.
He feared an attack of the
capitalistic world, by one country
or a coalition, on the Soviet
Union. The sole task of the
Comintern, therefore, was to pre-
vent this by awakening sympathy
for the Soviet Union amongst the
workers and, in case they failed
to prevent war, to upset the war
machinery by strikes, sabotage
and, if possible, revolution. Dur
ing this phase Communist policy
was for military preparedness in
Russia and anti-militaristic and
paciflstic in every other country.
During this phase many front
organizations were built up
amongst liberal and pacifist
groups, such as the organization
whose name is completely reveal
ing, The League Against War
and FaSciSm."
But this policy, in it's turn. was
overthrown by the historical
events.

even shutdowns may be found nee
essary in some instances, and it is
more than ever important that the
situation be explained candidly to
the workers. Where is the machinery
for the execution of such a policy?
The administration has had the re-
sponsibility from the beginning, but
the tendency here has been to dele
gate segments of power here and
there in several agencies. There is
little coordination and certainly no
integration of policy and plan.
The gasoline fiasco is merely typi-
cal of the lack of foresight and lack
of planning. The American people
will bear any hardships if they are
given warning and given a true ex-
planation of the need Some of the
breakdowns are hard to explain be-

one another but they often protect
one another from blame. The eco

nomination.
In the end, at Chicago, directed
by Harry Hopkins, who was con-
nected with the White House by
private wire and buttressed by the
Kelly and Hague machines, the

fected.
There is under way now perfect

Davis Comment Recalled.
Nor is he too preoccupied to know
what is being done for him. The
lesser administration figures play it
both ways. For example, solemn
Elmer Davis aggrievedly asserts that
fourth-term talk is all a lot of hot
air. and that the Owl is utterly
non-partisan and non-political, al
though his former chief aide, Gard
ner CoWles, jr.. who recently re-
signed, conceded that recent Owl
publication included partisan mate

faction" and should not have been
put out.
However, the most interesting
refutation of the Davis hot air.
theory was the recent presence in
New York of Vice President Wallace
at dinner of the State Executive
Committee of the American Labor
party.
At this dinner, Alex Rose, State
secretary of the ALP, told Mr. Wal
lace that the Labor party was
united behind him for a second
term, thus clearly indicating that
the party favored the nomination
of Mr.. Roosevelt for a fourth term.
Also, Mr.. Wallace was assured that
the Labor party had the power to
carry the State for him in 1914.
According to the New York Times,
"a further indication that the Labor
Party is ready to support President
Roosevelt for reelection came when
David Dubinsky, president of the
International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. declared that the
fourth term involved no principle
and would not be true issue to the
men and women of the Labor party.

Several things should be noted in
connection with this outburst for a
continuation of the present admin

One Is that the American Labor
party, from which it came, is Mr.

posedly, he still adheres, though in
actively. Another is that so far from
