Still The Sour Note

Anthony Eden, the British foreign minister,
in his address before the Commons, took &C.
casion to impress upon his hearers the i'm
portance of avoiding overconfidence or, as he
expressed it, "easy optimism
His position is right to the extent that to
assume the war already won because the
enemy is on the defensive everywhere and
the Allied striking power increasing, would
be to create a hazard of ultimate defeat
There is nothing in the war situation to justify
such an assumption, reason to let up in
the effort to win. Bitter and perhaps long
campaigns lie ahead before the Axis in its
furthest ramificahons can be eradicated and
a safe peace for all the world established
But we cannot help believing that the time
has gone by for cautioning the peoples of
the United Nations against putting too much
faith in victory. 1t seems 70 us that the time
has come to put especial emphasis on the
true fact that we can triumph over the enemy
wherever he exists. AS much harm can be
done, We are convinced in preaching an anti
confidence doctrine as we know has been done
by over-censorship. If anything, we need to
be tO1d, In the strongest terms by our lead
ers, that victory is ahead By this means we
will be led to redouble our efforts to speed
it up.
The war is in the equivalent OF the seventh
inning, when the stands and the players get
behind the man at bat to crack out the pinch
hit that will clinch The game. That is no time
to preach anti-optnism, as any rabid base
ball fan knows. It is the time, by the very
weight of their confidence in him, for every
body to spur the batter to get that hit.
| Apply this principle TO the present conflict
right now, with every man, woman and child
in the anti-Axs world bowling for the winning
run, and they'll do better job, whatever
their work is, for victory.
Stop crushing enthusiasm for victory by
harping on a sour note all the time Of course
there are hard days ahead--terrible battles
| to be fought. But it does not make them
easier to endure to dwell perpetually on the
risks and ignore the chances of success, which
grow brighter with every days combat.
More encoura cement for faith in victory will
make us all, on the home front. as well as
on the battlefront pat forth greater effort to
bring it about.

Surely necessary pipelines would not have
been more costly than the loss of American
oil in tankers sunk by enemy U-boats
It is too Late to do anything about that now
but the American oil industry, with past gov
ernmenta1 wastefulness in mind, would be
fully justified in demanding new deal under
which their product would not have to bear
the major burden of the war to the immense
benefit of operators in foreign fields Only by
such a program can they expect to meet
domestic requirements. The revamping of
the Allied petroleum program is an indicated
need especially as the Mediterranean is again
open for tanker transport service from Iraq
and Iran to main battle areas, and Russia
has saved her caucasian production fields.
American oil men pl obably deserve the en-
couragement of higher prices to develop new
fields, but they also deserve the encourage
ment to be derived from redistribution of
the war burden.

Continue To Save Paper

Having passed the goal set for this COM

holders business firms and Office occupants
give the effort their earnest cooperation.
The countryIs paper shortage has become
so acute that the effort is adversely af-
fected by it. Shipments OF supplies, ammu-
milton. medical stores. military rations and
sundry other essential materials are not NOV
ing to war zones IN necessary quantities be-
cause cartons are not always available for

necessary for everybody to save not only
newspapers and magazines but wrapping pa
per- envelopes, old letters, the tons of govern
ment bulletins that burden the mails-every
scrap that goes into wastebaskets-and turn
it all in either to the Brigade Boys Club,
the junior Red Cross at public schools, or junk
yards, that it may be adoed to the
national stock pile for reprccessing The
more we save, the easier will it be for our
fighting forces to get what they need for vic
tory.
And even when The campaign closes there
will be no reason to stop saving paper. Or
the contrary, because there will be con

Crude Oil Price Hike

The oil men won long contested battle
crease in crude oil prices up 10 IS cents a
barrel. They have long claimed that an ad-

price remining at pre-war Levels while labor
and materials were growing more costly, they

without it the nation could not hope to meet
