Praise and congratulations were

Il have followed with personal in

Thus, accepting the assumption
that the Germans will resist fiercely,

Logistical details bog down the lay

recall that fleet of almost 5000

coast to get a rough idea of the

against Europe.
Or to realize that it takes 10000
or more tons of shipping to move
a single division across water and
that single division uses about
400 tons of supplies each day;
Or that the British 9th Army,
which averages only six divisions,
kept 10000 trucks In its supply
service and these trucks wore out

Vandenberg Dep|ore'
Home Front Fee|inq
That War Is Over
BY the Associated Press

Ey the Associated Press.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. %
Congress is united in its efforts
to bring about an early and success
full end to the war, but the situation
on the home front is far less favor
able, says Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan.
Too many people on the home
front act as though the war is al
ready over and that we can do as
we please-and that goes particular
ly for this parade of strikes and
threats of strikes" he said in an
interview last night.
The war outlook is bright now, the
Senator said, but he added a warn
ing that it would be improvident
for the United States to make plans
on any basis other than a long
and deadly journey ahead"
Labor is entitled to the fair and
just protection of its legitimate
rights-War or no war" Senator
Vandenberg asserted, but that pro-
lection should come through peace
full means for the duration and
never should it jeopardize for an
instant the uninterrupted flow OF
war materials"
Speaking of subsidies, Senator
Vandenberg said he agreed with
those who believed that subsidies
were inherently infatfonary and
historically dangerous to democ-
racy. But he pointed out that the
President and his administrators
say they cannot and will not hold
the line against imitation on the
wage front if they cannot use con-
sumer subsidies in certain circum-
stances"
Under such circumstances" he
continued. Il decline to say that
consumer subsidies shall not be used
within reasonable limitations and
under adequate controls. We must
find the wise middle ground and the
rule of reason"
