The Political Mill

consideration. IT. deals with the
problems OF taxation. labor rela-
tions, agriculture, the conversion
of industry from war to peace
snd the absorption OF the mil
lions OF men in the armed forces
into peacetime America after the
war.
Particularly will the attention
OF the country be focused on what
The council does about interna-
tional relations and cooperation
in the postwar period. There Is
strong belief that the council
Will write out quite definite
declaration Of policy. Indeed,
members of the council see no
reason why this cannot be done.
This is a matter of opinion-the
formulation Of foreign policy.
1t Is undoubtedly true that all of
the members of the council have
given the subject considerable
thought.
1t is frequently argued that
this is no time for becoming
definite about postwar foreign
policy, because no one knows
what conditions will confront this
courtry-and the world-at the
close of the war. 1t does seem
ridiculous, however, to say that
the Republican party should not
have some ideas about the mat
ter. 1t is going to the country
in a campaign OF intense inter-
est neXt year. The voters will
want to know where the COP
and its candidates stand on this
issue-not be told after the cam
paign is over.
Promises Open Sessions.
The committee meetings of the
council. working on specific sub
Jects, are likely to be executive
sessions. However Chairman
Spangler of the national COM
mlttee, who named the council
and who will act as it's chair
man. and his assistants say that
there will be an open session at
the start of the two-day con-
ference and another at its close,
When resolutions are acted upon.
Several Republican Governors
are potential candidates for the
presidential or vice presidential
nomination next year. Their at
,titude toward these public oues-
tions will be followed carefully
during the Mackinac meeting,
Further, in all likelihood there
Will be some political campaign
ing, quiet but possibly effective,
regarding these nominations.
1t is noticeable that none of
the last three Republican presi-
dental candidates are members
OF the council or have been in
vited to attend the sessions of
the council. They are former
President Hoover, ALT M. Landon
and Mr.. Willkie. the third re-
garded as an active candidate
for the presidential nomination
next year. When the council
was appointed, Chairman Spane-
Ter said that it had been con-
fined to Republicans who held
elective Office of one kind or an
other. And he added that there
was no slight intended for the
former presidential candidates.
and that their advice might be
sought. There is no doubt that
if these three men had been
placed on the council, serious di-
visions might have sprung I'D.

dozen leading Republican Sena-
tors and dozen members of the
House, plus six or seven members
OF the national committee. In
the second place, the purpose OF
the meeting is to get down to
brass tacks on drafting-as near
ly as possible-a statement Of
Republican policies toward the
leading problems of the day.
What the council brings forth
will eventually be put up to the
Republican National Convention
next year, for use of its Platform
Committee.
All except one or two of the
Republican Governors will be at
The meeting, and so will the men,
bers of Congress and of the ma
tional committee. The gathering
has had quite buildup, part of
it due to the activities of the
Republican Postwar Policy As
sociation, headed by Deneen Wat
son of Chicago. The policy as
sociation has gone ahead with
its own pet campaign, the up
building of sentiment in the COP
for strong international co-opera-
ton for the maintenance of peace
after the war shall have been
won. 1t has insisted that the
council write the formula of such
policy at the meeting in Mack
mac.
Some of the members of the
council regard the policy associa-
lion as potential trouble maker
and some of them also suspect
that the association is designed
largely to advance Wendell l..
Wilikie for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination next year.
This is denied by the officers of
the association.

This Changing World

AS result, the Germans, who
dominate Northern Italy, are re-
ported considering putting Mus
solini back In power.
The whereabouts OF the for
mer Duce is not known. There
have been many reports as to
what has happened to him. They
range from suicide TO arrest and
exile to some island of the coast
OF Italy.
For all We know he may be in
Northern Italy under the wing
OF the Nazis who might bring
him out of retirement" Having
practically abandoned Southern
and Central Italy, the Nazis are
treating the northern portion as
German military area.
The transfer of the principal
government services north of the
River Pc Is helping them run the
only important section OF the
country. They do not particularly
mind If the Allies settle in
Southern and Central Italy since
1t would be up to us to feed the
millions who live there and will
receive us enthusiastically.
But the important industrial
and strategic part of Italy will
remain in German hands until
we can conquer it.
No Assurance Of Peace.
From all reports it appears that
In spite of the loss of Sicily, the
big air raids and the heavy hand
with which the Nazis are con-
trolling Italy. the italian Army
Is no worse of than 1t was few
months ago. To the contrary,
some OF the regular divisions
have shown a certain amount of
improvement and the regular
army officers who did not like
the interference of the Fascist
upstairs" are very loyal to the
present setup.
This indicates that the mere
eclipse of regimes such as the
Fascist or Nazi governments does
not necessarily mean that the
countries which have accepted
them over period of years be-
come peace minded as soon as
they have disappeared.
The example of broken down
Italy is interesting. In spite of
the political upheayal and the
heavy bombardments which are
destroying the most important
industrial centers of the country.
the Italian people are still in the
war.
Badoglio is reported to have
practically given up all attempts
to make peace. He would have
been in an excellent position to
do SO In the first few days after
he came to power, before the
Nazis began rushing into Lom-
hardy in large numbers.
But now it is too late. He has
the choice of playing with the
Germans until there is a COM
plete collapse of the Axis or max
ing further approaches to WASH
ington and London. In the lat
ter case he knows that the Ger
mans will get rid of him and
replace him by another dummy,
which, reports from Switzerland
say, may be Mussolini.

THE INDIA-BURMA JUNGLE
Aug. % Delayed Burmese jungle

Ahead OF us, however, lie more

physically and morally, and we know
we can make it.

refused to climb on the one motor

Mr.. Davies went first, tumbling
down toward the mountains until
his chute opened. Others followed
Then it was my turn.
I was about to jump when one
of the mountain peaks reared up
directly under us. But there was no
time to wait. Out I went as our
pilotless transport plane began to
spin downward.
When my chute opened I saw the
plane strike the ground and explode
in a geyser of angry orange flame
right below me.
I jumped from a height of about
500 feet, and if I had waited five
seconds more I would have gone

yanking at the ropes, drifted rapidly
toward the blazing plane, and all
the while I was uttering a prayer
that l wouldn't be carried into the
flames.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew me
into a hillside where I landed,
rolling over and over through dense
underground. I decided that l was
alive, and not hurt at all.
