1943-How Hard Will It Be?

The beginning Of 1913 presents most Americans
with problems that they never expected to face.
What with war all over the face of the globe, and
with millions of young involved in the fray,
there has become necessary restrictions upon
the right of the average American to do he pleased
Business men will face "hardships" says
mercial forecast which, by the way, did not remark
upon the hardshps and dangers to be endured by
fighting men,
Housewives will be unable to buy all the food that
they can pay for or charge at the grocery, and this
will be terrible despite the fact that we will continue to
be the worlds best-fed people.
Adults and children will have to forego the use of
the family automobile, occasionally in order that ships
and tanks get fuel for in battle However none of
them will wish to swap rides with soldiers or sailors.
Even So the year may prove pretty good to the
American people, If it does not bring them victory in
Of their wars, it will probably give them positive
proof that it is around the in both conflicts
With such encouragement we can put up with
Inconvenience dscomforts and sacrifices and we ought
to do SO cheerfuly. loyalty and with stout hearts.

Present Mysteries About The War

There are growing mysteries in connection with
the war; and the answer to them may give some light
upon the probable length of the struggle.
Chief of the mysteries is the apparent inability
of Germany to reinforce her African contingents with
air power which they sadly lack Whether this is due
to losses in Russia lack of production grand STRAIT
egg of conserving air power for surprise do
not know.
Another mystery is the failure of the Japanese to
reinforce their soldiers in New Guinea When news
of such attempt read of cruisers and de-
stroyers landing soldiers and supplies not cargo ships
and troopshps. What has happened to the Japanese
merchant ships without which long supply lines cannot
be served and conquered cannot be looted.
Again, from New Delhi India, comes the state
ment of Brig Gen. Clayton l.. Bissell commander of
air forces in India, Burma and China, that "the
Japanese air force everywhere has been materially
weakened" and that the Japanese admit it, He says
Jap planes in Burma and China have been moved
rapidly from one airdrome to another as airdromes
get too hot"
Perhaps the greatest mystery of all is the extent
of German troop losses in Russia There is reluc-
lance to accept Moscows estimates of Nazi casualties
but the Red army fights confidently and the German
egions have been unable to annihilate the "Commu-
nists," except on paper.
There is the suspicion that the Moscow estimates
are close to the mark, that the Nazi army has been
badly crippled and that heavy losses explain the in
ability of the Germans to take Stalingrad Moscow
and the valuable oil fields of the Caucasus.

sion of the twenties. Then it was
that America began building up her
tariff walls, which many economists
consider one Of the causes Of World
War II.
Throughout this period the foreign
war debts were fostering. America
continued 70 demand payment Of
those debts and at the same time to
raise trade barriers that curtailed
international commerce and thus
made the debt payments impossible.
Then came the New Deal and the
introduction Of many measures,
some Of which tended further
toward nationalism. Secretary Hull,
who had been fighting an uphill fight
for free trade relations without much
success, especially after the sabo-
tagging of the London Economic con-
terence in 1888. finally launched his
reciprocal trade agreements plan.
Hulls progress was retarded for
many natural reasons. In the first
place, it was too slow and undramatic
a procedure to engage the Presi-
dents active support The President

tend to understand fiscal matters.
In the second place, the traditional
state department attitude was one
Of aristocratic disdain of all matters

Lend-Lease Policy

Then came that new and strange
device, the 1end-lease policy. II was
inaugurated, first in the hope that
we could fight the war in absentia
by furnishing Britain the tools, and
secondly. to avoid the recurrence Of
that painful phenomenon, the war
debts. And then, Just when, it is
not known, or exactly how, Secre-
tary Hull was able to revive his
policy of unhampered trade by in
Producing Article VII into the lend
lease agreements.

which are the material foundations
OF the liberty and welfare of all
peoples; to the elimination of all
forms Of discriminatory treatment in
international commerce; to the re-
duction Of tariffs and other trade
barriers; and. in general. to the at

Joint Declaration made on August
IA, l94l, by the President Of the
United States Of America and the
Prime Minister of the United King

to determining, in the light of gov

detectives by their own agreed ac-

ton Of other like-minded govern
ments."
The chronology of Americas ap-
proach to peace founded on the
principles Of free economic inter.
course is:
Autumn of 1910: The Atlantic
Charter.
March. 1941: Lend-Lease law.
February, 1912: Master Lend
Lease agreement with Britain.
June, 1912: Presidents clari-
fication of Article VII.
Secretary Hull believes that a
sound and equitable international
economic policy must be laid down
before we can hope for international
political stability. He will be, as he
always has been. the champion of
that view.
That is the internationalist view.

jap Leaders ExpIain

The military leaders of Japan find it necessary to
explain to the people of their country why the prom
sed victory to be delayed.
Consequently, General Hdeh TOTO recently warned
his countrymen that 'the real is starting from
now that air bases in the Solomons Islands make
it extremely difficult to reinforce Japanese forces and
that frequent American air attacks have caused sun
imaginable prvations and difficulties to Japanese
troops in the Aleutian Islands.
General TOTO is correct in warning his people
"just starting" Despite bombastic claims that the
U. S. Navy has been destroyed and that the white

Hints to the effect that the Presi-
dent will make a discussion Of post
war conditions a part Of his forth
coming message to the 18th congress
foreshadows the re-entry on the dip
lomatic stage in a prominent role
OF the figure Of Secretary Of State
Corden Hull. In wartime. diplomacy
plays its part chiefly behind the
scenes-the brass hats have their
day in public. But there are now
several indications that Secretary
Hull is about to take the spotlight
again in an old familiar role, name
ly. as spokesman for the economic
platform which he made a part Of
our foreign policy before the war.
To understand Secretary Hull's
importance today 1t is well to re-
call the words spoken to me not
long ago by very keen diplomatist:
Secretary Hull" he said, was
probably chosen as secretary Of
state for four reasons: One, because
Of the Presidents political debt to
him and because they we're friends;
two, because he had diplomatic
gift; three, because there was vital
need for liaison between the state
department and congress; and four,
because Of Hull's deep knowledge Of
international trade relations"
Reason No. is more important
than ever, and although reason No.
4 may have been a pure coincidence
at the time, 1t is turning out to be
one Of the most important factors.
Today treason No. 4" is coming
to the front. There are those in

America must play a vital part in

sentiment may break out again and

CLARITY MARKS JACKSONS COURT OPINIONS
He's Newest n Holmes Of

The vlgor and clarity with which JUS
tice Robert H. jackson expresses his
convictions are causing his Supreme
Court opinions to be ranked by some
lawyers with those of the late Oliver
Wendell Holmes.
Lone dissents delivered recently by
Justice Jackson also furnish another
similarity-for Justice Holmes was wide
ly known as "the great dissenter" before
he retired from the court in 1882 at the
age of 81.
Whether they agree or disagree with
Justice Jacksons views, lawyers say the
meaning of his words is crystal clear.
Which, they add, cannot be said of every
person who has served on the court.
Happy in His Work.
After year and half as justice, he
appears supremely happy in his work.
He hits on the extreme right of the
Chief Justice and his affable demeanor
attracts the attention of courtroom Wis
itors. He has the reputation of being
one of the most friendly persons in
Washington
tions highest tribunal seven years after
entering Government service.
His debut in Washington was as gen.
eral counsel of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. He accepted that position at
the age OF Al after building up q highly
profitable law practice at Jamestown,
N. Y.
He served successfully as Assistant At
torney General in charge of the Justice
Departments Tax Division, Assistant
Attorney General in charge of the Anti
Trust Division, United States Solicitor
General and Attorney General.
He personally argued before the Su-
preme Court many of the top-ranking
cases involving constitutionality of New
Deal legislation Most of them he won,
including test cases of the Wagner Labor
Act and the Federal Social Security leg

Pendergast and others were accused
OF "fraudulently foisting upon" a Fed

superintendent of insurance"
One Of the issues was whether thev
could be punished for contempt since
they had not appeared in the courtroom
when the settlement was proposed BY
attorneys.
Il do not agree" he asserted, that We
should leave undecided the question
whether conduct Of this sort constitutes
punishable contempt. To use bribery
and fraud on the court to obtain its order

tempt but contempt Of a kind far more
damaging to the courts good name and
more subtly obstructive of justice than
throwing an inkwell at a judge or dis
turblng the peace of courtroom.
Il would hold the conduct Of these
petitioners to be misbehavior' and within
the presence of the court and hence a
contempt within the meaning Of the
statute.

HITLER ORATORY TURNS TO BABBLE

any case mean our annihilation The
barbarity of Central Asia would sweep
across Europe, as during the times of
the Huns and the Mongolian onslaughts.
Nobody knows this better than the Ger
man soldier, and the nations allied with
him who have become acquainted with
the nature of the Bolshevik mutilation
of humanity at the front.
When Hitler next spoke, on Septem-
ber 30, 1912, in the Berlin Sportpalast
to open the German winter relief cam
paign Of 1923, the German armies
faced their second winter on the icy
Russian steppes. 1t is noticeable that
Hitler no more speaks of any millennium
or even century ahead, but relinquishes
the future to its fate. He tries to per-
suade democracies that their idealism is
Identical with that of the Nazis. His
war aims are no longer dynamic, but
stationary; he defends himself against
unnamed critics for insisting on taking
Stalingrad; dwells for the first time on
the cost of human suffering in military
conquest, and attempts frantically to
strengthen home morale by the specter
of annihilation.
THE subject matter of my possible
speeches" he says in the opening SEN
tences, is more difficult, for I do not
deem it proper to occupy myself now
with the shaping Of things for the fu-
ture. I consider it more appropriate for
lis to occupy ourselves with that which
the immediate present demands of U.s."
He makes a sudden about-face, de-
claring that the Atlantic Charter, which
represents the idealism Of the democra-
cies he has always despised and pledged
to crush, in reality is nothing but the
very idealism of the Nazis.
Conquest Put Aside.
World conquest is held in allegiance.
For this year we have laid out a very
simple program. First Under all cir
cumstances to hold what had to be held.
| That is, to let the others advance where
we ourselves did not intend to go for
ward, as long as they want to advance.
| To hold unf1inchlngly and wait to see
who will be the first to weaken. Second:
| To attack relentlessly where the attack
| is necessary"
He defends the strategy based on his
| intuition:
Military conquest has for the first time
| become an agony:
