what he considers clean bill of

at all.
What really goes on here? Mr..
Krock favors our "expediency" deals,
such as our deal with Darlan. And
he favors Mr. Hull. Mr. Sullivan
also favors our "eXpediency" deals.
And he favors Mr.. Hull
Can this mean that the quarrel
over our "expediency" deals, which
RACES in public, now RACES within
the department, too; that if there is
an organizational problem in the
department, this dispute has created
it; that, perhaps, Mr.. Welles is turn
ing against "expediency"; that the
department is showing signs Of some
such change going on deep inside?
May Be Simple Story.
1t may be that the whole State
Department story is not one of plot
and counterplot, nor even of clash
Of personalities. 1t may be a quite
simple story of department which
has approached foreign affairs
without any firm foreign policy at
all. and has therefore improvised
and played lunches. 1t has adopt
ed expediencies because If you don't
have policy you have to be ex-
pedient.
Maybe the whole country's con-
fusion on the kind of world it wants
to live in has been accurately mir
rored for years by confused State
Department. 1t may be that our
own indecisiveness as to what we
want has at last shown itself up as
a functional disorder in the depart
ment charged with making the kind
of world we want.
The only remedy, then, would be
the adoption of foreign policy at
last, a solid policy on the kind of
Italy, Germany, etc, we wish to live
with, and on lasting alliances with
our allies. Perhaps the department
isn't ticking because the whole coun-
try isn't ticking on these issues.
I am willing. after four years Of
opposition to the department, to say
that perhaps it is only the mirror of
us all. Is that fair?

| But, behold, now it is on the front
page of the New York Times, where
John H. Crider has reported on a
supposed clash of personalities in
the department.. Mr.. Crider cites
! reports that two of Secretary HulIs
assistants refer to him 'by use Of
an odious epithet," and that for
eign diplomats sometimes come
away with two or three different
statements of policy on a given
question after comforting with two or
three different State Department
! officials.
Sees Functional Disorder.
A feeling of functional disorder
within the department comes out
of Mr.. Orders story. This is a
little different from the older quar-
rel over the State Department.
policies.
If we were to add up the current
charges against the department in
the cruelest fashion, we might say
that the department stands accused
today of having a wrong policy to-
ward democratic movements in Eu-
rope, and that it also stands &C
cused of inef1iciency In carrying out
its wrong policy.
Arthur Krock of the Times has
offered an explanation. He declares
that the President has been rather
high-handed with Mr.. Hull; that
the President has not allowed Mr..
Hull to pick his own chief aides;
that the President appointed Sum-
ner Welles, for example, as Under
secretary; that the President and
Mr.. Welles work closely together,
sometimes by-passing Mr.. Hull in
forming and explaining foreign
policy.
Both Favor Hull.
But Mark Sullivan, in the New
York Herald-Tribune, has a diff
ferent story. He declares that the
President stands firmly behind"
Mr.. Hull. Mr.. Sullivan says that if
there is any conflict, it is way down
in the lower levels of the organiza-
ton, among the theology" boys,
who want us to establish democracy
in conquered countries as We take
them. Mr.. Sullivan gives the top

advantage to get all the men in
the armed forces to ballot.
The Republicans, while they
insist that a great number of
COP supporters are in the armed
forces, are wondering how 1t will
bel possible for them to make
their candidate known to the SOL
diers before the balloting begins.
For example, should Gov.
Warren of California, elected to
Office in 1912, be the presidential
nominee of the Republican
party, he might be virtually
unknown to thousands Of soldier
and sailor voters who will have
been overseas for two or three
years by the time the voting
begins next year Certainly that
will be the case of men who we're
sent early to Australia and the
South Pacific, and to North
Africa.
When Pres d mt Roosevelt
makes a speech, 1t is broadcast
in part, at least, to the service
men abroad. II the Republican
nominee for President makes an
important speech during the
1914 campaign will it, too, be
broadcast to the armed forces?
Only recently the President de-
livered a Nation-w wide address,
during which he outlined plans
for caring for the soldiers after
the war shall have been won.
The War Department is au-
thority for the statement that
only about 200 words of the
address were sent to the armed
forces abroad. But 1t happens
that those words covered the
Presidents program of aid for
the soldiers when they are mus
tered out.
Lopsided Campaign Seen.
Chairman Spangler of the Re-
publican National Committee is
sued statement at the time
denouncing the Presidents az
dress as an attempt to make
political capital with the armed
forces.
He requested that his state
ment be sent to the armed forces,
making the request of both Sec
retary Of War Stimson and Sec
retary of the Navy Knox, both
Republicans, by the way. So far
as is known, the request has not
been and will not be granted. If
such policy is continued it will
be lopsided political campaign
next year so far as the armed
forces are concerned, with the
Democrats holding all the cards.
There is very real question as
to how much of an effort to turn
the fighting forces minds to
politics should be permitted any,

Nazi Retreat Orderly.
The German forces in Russia
are retreating all along the line
toward the Dnieper front. From
available reports, the Nazi retreat
Is orderly.
The German strategy is re-
garded as a definite indication
that the military is in full control
OF the Wermacht. The German
generals are believed to have ad-
vocated withdrawal to shorter
line for long time. 1t is predi-
Gated on the fact that Germany
must avoid crushing defeat
from the combined Allied forces.
The German general staff is
said to believe that a shortening
of the Russian front to the
Dnieper line, which can be held
with half the present available
electives, would give the Reich
a sufficient strength to defend
the key points of the German
fortress for long time. These
are the western coast Of France

Hitler. who has boasted to his
people that he would crush all
enemies, could not possibly SUBJ
scribe to purely defensive
strategy. Dictators cannot fail.
And Hitler, like his friend Musso-
lini, has failed lamentably.
But while the italian armies
are too weak to make a stand
this does not apply to the Ger
man armed forces. There is not
a single indication that the
spirit of the German soldiers
has become defeatist. The war
spirit in Germany always has
been strong with the masses,
who never have been made to
realize what actual defeat is.

The Political Mill

how. Men who are fighting for
their country certainly should be
given every opportunity to vote
for President and for members Of
Congress. But whether it would
be good to have the far-fung
Army end Navy posts turned into
political debating societies is an
other matter.
1t is certainly true, however,
that if the men are to vote, they
should have an opportunity to
vote intelligently. knowing the
policies and qualifications Of all
the candidates for whom they
will ballot.
Few in Uniform Voted.
A law was enacted in 1912 to
facilitate voting among the
armed forces. 1t did not become
law until September of that
year, Comparatively few of the
men in the armed forces voted.
There is plenty Of time next year,
however, to get out the soldier
and sailor vote. Senator Lucas of
Illinois and Senator Green of
Rhode Island, both Democrats,
are sponsors of bill amending
the 1912 act, still further facili-
tating the vote of the armed
forces, wherever they may be
located.
The Republicans are consider
ing amendments to this bill, if
and when it is taken up. They
may propose that equal opportu-
nifty be given for disseminating
the views and the qualifications
of the Republican nominee as
for the Democratic nominee.
They may propose also setting up
bipartisan commission to have
supervision Of the balloting in
the armed forces.
They do not wish to stand idly
by, as they say, and permit the
"Tammanyizing" of the armed
force vote, which, they insist,
might happen if there was not BIZ
partisan supervision of the ballot
ing.
Democratic leaders are conf
dent that the bulk of the vote of
the soldiers and sailors would
favor President Roosevelt, If he
should be the party nominee.
Further, they say that young
voters, like the soldiers and sail
ors, generally incline to the Dem
ocratic New Deal administra ton.
Oppose Strenuous Drive.
At the same time, some of these
Democratic leaders are against
any real political campaign
among the armed forces. For
example. Chairman Burke of the
Democratic State Committee of
Massachusetts was recently quot
ed as saying: Il do not believe
that they (the soldiers and
sailors) should be flooded with
political debate or literature. All
that I am seeking is that the
chance to enjoy their right to
vote should be made fully avail
able. Then the exercise of their
right is their affair"
Some 100000 men are already
overseas. There may be 5000. 900
or more when election time rolls
around next year. The difficulty
OF getting an intelligent and in
formed vote from these men, so
far from home, is the principal
question.
The soldiers and sailors in this
country will be able to listen to
the radio and read the news
papers. and so keep informed
about the issues in the campaign,

This Changing World
in the Reich is not clear at all

III the Relch Is not clear at all.
A triumvirate Of Fieldmarshal
Keitel, Reichsmarshal Goering
and Admiral Doenitz seems i'm
probable, The German generals
who have tolerated Hitler be-
cause he was the standard
bearer Of militarisrn, behind
which they we're able to recon-
stitute the German armed forces,
are likely to maintain in their
ranks any one too closely identi-
fed with Naziism.
1t is true that the German gen.
erals have regarded Goering as
the only gentleman" in the Nazi
outfit. He is a professional SOL
der, comes from a good military
family and under normal cir
cumstances could be considered
as closely affiliated with the Jun
kerdom which has such deep and
powerful roots in the Reich.
If the German generals were
thinking exclusively in terms Of
fighting to the bitter end, there
Is no question that the presence
Of the reichsmarshal in their
midst would establish a useful
link with the fast-dying Naziism.
May Seek Soviet Pact.
But no one here is overlooking
the possibility that the generals
may be endeavoring to obtain an
honorable peace with Russia.
Premier Stain has stated en-
phatically that one of the prin-
cipal war aims Of Russia, besides
eliminating all the enemy forces
from Soviet territory, is the de-
struction Of Hitlerism. 1t appears
to American political observers
that the Russian leader will not
discuss peace with any German
government which has in its
midst the man who had been des-
ignated by Hitler in 1899 as
heir to his Nazi throne.
While the SIS divisions can be
changed overnight into Reichs-
wehr troops by divesting them
selves Of their special insignia
and by being placed in different
units. those political and army
leaders who have been definitely
identified with Hitler and have
not been a part Of that exclusive
corps which accepted Hitler's
military leadership but were not
ideologically in his camp, must
unquestionably be ousted before
open advances can be made to
Moscow.
This week undoubtedly will
throw more light on what is
happening in Berlin. Doubtless
there is a spectacular movement
afoot in the German capital.
Some army leaders are reported
to have flown from their field
headquarters to Berlin. This is
probably true.
Before the end of the month,
we may witness dramatic move
ments in Germany which might
bring the military caste COM
pletely in power in the Reich. AS
far as we are concerned, such a
change will not place us much
nearer the defeat of the Reich
and the complete surrender
which President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill have
announced as our only peace con-
dition with the enemy.

walk" our beat. Our beat was
certain number OF miles of the At
lantic Ocean, and our job was to
inspect it and police 1t for every
thing over 1t, on 1t, and under IT..
AS unqualified observer-being
perhaps the first civilian to fly
patrol with the CAP-I was strictly
on the lookout for submarines and
nothing else. My pilot, Capt. Art
Keil, soon corrected me on this score.
While submarines are the major
quarry Of the CAP, 1t overlooks
nothing else.
The captain turned my stomach
inside out five or six times with
wing lovers to swoop down to ripple
height to take a look at driftwood.
He wanted to determine whether
the driftwood was just driftwood
or whether it was a bit OF lifeboat
or something knocked off the super
structure of wrecked ship.
Hovered Over Wrecks.
Nothing was too tnimportant for
us to study. We lowered over the
wrecks of ships to see that their
markers were still in place. We
examined oil slicks to make certain
that the oil came from the hold of
the known wreck and not from some
lurking sub. We found a partially
submerged lifeboat and led a nearby
fishing smack to 1t, so she could take
it in tow. The Navy wants such
things.
When we few high. our sister
patrol ship flew low and vice versa,
thus enabling our patrol to have two
perspectives at all times. The CAP
now works in pairs. There was
time when these little 90-horse-
power, single-engine land planes
worked over the sea alone. 1t soon
became obvious that this was too
dangerous.
To show you how quickly these
tiny sport planes DO down at sea,
the CAP personnel Is trained to
abandon ship in less than IS sec
onds. Travelling in pairs makes 1t
possible for the surviving ship to
send a radio call for assistance,
drop extra life RATS, and stand by
to lead surface craft to the spot.
This must be remembered about
the CAP: Whereas the Army and
Navy flyers are daily getting i'm
proved models of everything, the
CAP material Is going down hill.
1t is using all pre-Pearl Harbor
equipment, and there are no re-
placements available. Planes that
were built to fly 200 hours a year
already have flown more than a
thousand. The fact that these
planes are still in the air, and aid
ing tremendously in the winning
Of the Battle of the Atlantic, Is a
great tribute to the volunteer CAP
engineers and mechanics who keep
them flying.
Monotony Bothersome.
To appreciate fully the CAP you
must go on a patrol and fly out
there over the ocean. In spite Of
the ever-present danger. the thing
that bothers the CAP boys now Is
monotony. There was time when
things were popping all up and
down the coast.
AS my pilot said after We had
scanned the ocean for four hours,
IT'S pretty tiresome work, isn't
it?" I agreed, but I couldn't help
thinking how much the fact that
the work had become monotonous
reflected credit on the CAP and the
part it had played in making a
hellish job monotonous.
When We came in after patrolling
our beat, felt like sending the ma
tlonal commander Of the outfit, Col.
Earle L. Johnson, a wire telling him
what he already must know that
when he thought up the idea Of the
CAP he did his country a magnih-
cent service.
