Capital Talk

Peter Edison

Appley was at one time director
of civilian personnel for the War
Department, and he points to the
constant campaign Cf morale build
ing which the army conducts as
proof of the benefits OF this type OF
work. The army keeps hammerlng
at it's educational program, explain
ing the war, as one means OF keep
ing the soldiers sold on what they're
doing.
II can't be done just by pep
talks or rallies. Strangely enough
il has been found that when a
war hero is brought around to
make pep talk to factory
force, it sometimes does more
harm than good. II makes the
workman discOntented, makes
him feel that the soldiers job is
more important than the work Oi
the man behind the man behind
the gun. If good wOrkmen them
selves could he recognized as TN
heroes, that would be part OF the
trick.
ANYTHING done in this direction
must of course be done by indus

INVADING SICILY
Nevada State Journal)

Invasion of Sicily, which has been ON
the Allies itinerary since last November
when the North African campaign was
started. is now on in full force but de-
tails are few. 1t will be several days,
perhaps week, before the complete story
will be told and then there may be an
other story. more important, in the max
ing.
1t is difficult to designate the invasion
of Sicily as the opening of second
'front.' as it is a long hard road from Sicily
through Italy and thence to Southern
France or Germany but it is within reason
to believe that in the event the Allied
move on Sicily is successful Italy can be
knocked out of the war.
The Sicilian air bases in Allied hands
would step up the bombing raids on Ger
man industrial cities as the bomberS, fly
ing from England, would have place
to land without crossing the Mediter-
ranean. Furthermore the capture of Sici-
ly would clear up the Mediterranean for
the Allies to that point and would open
the way to Greece.
British and American spokesman, COM
menting on the invasion, said it should
not be considered as the landing" or the
only landing, indicating that further
landings may be expected in Southern
France or on the continent or even in
Norway.
Capture Of Sicily will not come easily
and its eventual fall should not be con-
sidered by Americans as turning point
in the war or even a great victory. In
fact its capture will carry with it many
additional burdens for the Allied armies,
which will be reflected here at home in
the need of more materials of war. Pro
duction fell off in the United States fol-
lowing the North African victories, due
in some degree to a feeling that final vic
tory was Just around the corner.
Such was not the case.
The fine advance that General Eisen-
hover is now directing, which is good
news for Americans, is no victorious
march but just one smart move in gi-
gantic pattern and should be an inspira-
tion to all Americans to extend their cf-
forts toward final victory.

the excitement of debate, reached
a point of personal violenc, the
speaker would tell the sergeant-at-
arms to raise the mace" and the
very significance of having it lift
ed from its pedestal and carried
has invariably been enough to avert
solemnly to the place of controversy
further trouble. I the Fifty-first
Congress, usually spoken of as
"boisterou5" the Speaker frequent
ly directed the sergeant -at-armS to
walk up and down the aisleS with
the mace in his hands!

There are two other maces in the
United States: one is a presenta-
ton mace given the Corporation OF
Norfolk, Virginia, in 1883 and kept
in a glass case in bank vault, and
the other is still used in the House
of Representatives of South Caro-

"A constructive suggestion for in.
duStry to conduct a campaign oi
education on the war production
front, aimed at the war production
worker, has been made by Lawrence
A. Appley. War ManpoWer commits
Sioner executive director, following
a manpoWer survey trip to war pro-
duction centerS throughout the
country.
Basis for the suggestion is the
finding that the average worker
in war plant today still has no
idea of what he's participating i'm
an industrial production revOlu-
ton that cannot fail to have its
effects on postwar life.
Industry made mistake i'm
the 2O's,.' says Mr.. Appley, ''in
not telling the country what il
was doing. The result was that
il caught hell i'm the 3O's."
1t is to avoid a repetition of this
mistake that the suggestion is now
made for taking the working force
of the country into the condolences
Of industry and educating or SELL
ing manpoWer on the job that
American business is doing in re-
shaping American life and to a de-
gree, remaking the world.
At the outset, it should be made
clear that this is no fanciful sug-
geStion from a government BRAIN
truster or world planner, nor is it a
disguised version of labor,s oft-re-
peated demand for a larger voice
and participation in management

far better shape as a functionine

fidence of industry, in place of a
loose iointed thinking society which
issued directives and then sat back
to wait for miracles to happen
1t is Appley's belief that when
the average worker gets a job in a
war plant, he is finger printed,
number is hung on him, he is
trained for specific job, and
then pretty largely forgotten. He
has no idea of what is happen

This is about the MACE of the
House Of Representatives. Aside
from the flag, the mace is the only
visible symbol of federal govern
ment authority. 1t has no coun-
terpart in the United States. 1t is
as old as the government itself
having been provided for in a res
olution adopted by the House dur
ing the first Congress, in 1889. 1t
has served ever since as the visible
symbol OF the authority of the SER
geant-at-arms, who is charged with
the duty of preserving order on the
floor Of the House.

Fruits from your garden or nearby

Red raspberry juice retains the
fresh fruit flavor over many
months, even though it may lose
some color in time. Juicy wild

will give excellent juice provided
they are free from bruises and de-

the fruit. Now heat the fruit
gently TO 170o F. (below simmer

1t is with great reluctance that
any lover of France and of demo-
cracy criticiZes Gen Charles de
Gaulle. When almost everybody else
in France, from whom we had the
right to expect courage, devotion
and faith, threw in the sponge, De
Gaulle's was a voice crying in the
wilderness.
For the Fighting French move
ment, for the hope that still lives
in the occupied homeland, for the
survival CT something of the old
French spirit of liberty, equality,
fraternity" he have General de
Gau.le to thank.
But now. 1t seems to us, the gen.
eral is undoing much of what he
accomplished when there was no.
body else to take up the torch. BY
/ his inSistence upon having his own
way, without compromise. in the ne
gotiations with that other French
| patriot, Gen. Henri Honore Giraud,
! he is decreasing the potential effec-
! tiveneSs of the movement he fa-
thered-and he is creating discord
at the worst possible time when the
unified action of all loyal French
man is most needed for the inva-
sion that is to free France from the
Nazi heel
There is too much assumption
that either General Gle Gaulle or
General Giraud is wholly right
the other wholly wrong. This is not
a clash between a consistent patriot
! and converted appeaser 1t is
merely a conflict of honest opin-
ions between two patriots.
General Giraud, Icing a prisoner
Of war, could not have done what
| General de Gaulle did at the time
he did it. In all probability Cen
eral Girard does not have the per-
sonality to do what General de
Gaulle did. But that is no reason
for belittling his patriotism or his
ability to contribute to the Fighting
French movement.
For many years now the tragedy
of France has been the inability OF
! her leaders to compromise their Of
! ten petty differences, TO unite 1oi
the national welfare. This, perhaps
more than anything else, was re-
sponsible for the disunity which en-
abled Hitler to win so easily.
1t is time for Generals de aulle
and Giraud, and their partisans, to
get together-and it is beyond dis
pute that General Giraud has gone
much more than halfway in demon
strating his reasCnableneSS.
If there should be breakdown
because General de Gaulle refuses
to make even slight concessions, the
cause of France, of the United Ma
tions and of democracy will suf-
fer-and mich of the luster will be
Clipped off the glory General de
Gaulle has SO richly earned.

PRESENT-DAY TRAVEL
(St. Louis Post-DiSpatch)


Of travel nowadays it can be accurate
ly said as Oscar Wilde said of marriage
that everyone ought to try it at least once
if only to see how much it's been over
rated. 1t seems, therefore, that Trans
portation Director Joseph B. Eastman
speaks true talk when he says that most
people, after travelling once or twice un-
der present conditions, will cease and
desist of their own free will.
While the railroads and buses are do
ing a man-sized job under the most try
ing circumstances, travelling has ceased
to be pleasure and has become a wear
ing chore How thoroughly this is so, no
one will really appreciate without trying
it. Only one word of advice: If you're
taking vacation trip, leave plenty of
time for a nice, long rest when you get
back. You'll need it.
