WORDS POORLY CHOSEN

Sacramento eBe)
Brendan Bracken, British minister of
information, made an undiplomatic re-
mark when he told the recent Quebec
conference that Rudolf Hess, ex-nazi
leader who flew to England, reminded
him of an "overgrown Boy Scout"
Scouts and their leaders in England
and also in America were quick to reply.
Bracken's subsequent explanation was
that he meant the term "only in loose
sense in which it is sometimes used to
indicate a man who never has grown
up"
By way of further apology, he praised
the work which the Boy Scouts have done
during the air attacks upon England.
He might have gone further and paid
tribute to the countless deeds of heroism
of men in the armed forces who formerly
were members of this international or
ganization And any compliment so paid
will be shared by the former Boy Scouts
of the United States, who have heroes
galore within their ranks.

II Rise to Remark"

not as yet know about 1t. Governor
Lehman of New York is to be the
world head.
In September there will come an
other conference; this time on
postwar money matters. 1t is too
.ong and complicated to discuss in
the remaining space this week. MY
emphasis again, is not SO much on
the details of these agreements, as
on the way they are being drawn
up. l fear that this method of ig-
noring the people, through their
representatives in treaty matters
(under the Constitution may again
result in an impasse, the far reach
ing bad effects of which are tragic
even to think about.
The administration is evidently
thinking about this too. Quite re-
Gently the State Department issued
a little booklet justifying (did you
say "alibi"?) the making of agree
mentS which are in effect, treaties.
When I get back to Washington,
where my copy of the booklet is
now. I shall tell you the arguments
on that side.

BY Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS


A great deal has been said about
this fourth war;, as l call it for
convenience in writing this series
of columns. BY it l mean the dis
cussions, arguments and differences
of opinions concerning postwar
conditions. and therefore the agree
mentS and treaties which will set
up the plans under which postwar
economies will operate.
We should sometime learn from
experience. At the close of the
last war, the President spoke, so
he thought, for the American peo-
pie. He was the recognized leader
in the postwar planning of thai
year. Yet he came back to face an
antagonistic Congress, which was
in that state of mind largely be-
cause it had not been given the
knowledge of the agreements and
the plans, as it felt it should have
been constitutionally, while they
were being discussed. The result
was an impaSse.
DOING SAME THING?
Who shall say we are not doing
the same thing now? The repre-
Sentatives of some forty nations
went to Hot Springs, at the invita-
ton of the United States. We acted
as host. Marvin Jones was the gen.
eral chairman. After two weeks de-
liberations, resolutions were adopt
ed by the conference. 1t may be that
you, or 1. or the rest of us, would
agree with the resolutions. I have
some slight doubt. Congressman
Andersen, perhaps the ablest MEM
Der of the Committee on Agricul-
ture, said publicly on the floor of
the house, after reading the reSolu-
tions, that in his opinion as a farm
er, the effect in this country would
be to return the dust bowl to the
type of agriculture which made it
the dust bowl, and from which
we have been trying to redeem it
for several years.
My point now is simply that we
departed in that conference from a
very necessary detail, under our
form of government: the right of
the people to be informed, or to
participate, directly or through their
representatives. No representatives
OF the press or radio were permitted

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE

J. Millard Tawes, Maryland state
comptroller, was deprived of his A and
c gasoline books for a year for driving
to Georgia to attend wedding, at time
when pleasure driving was forbidden to
ordinary folk. Trains run between Mary
land and Georgia.
That looks like impartial justice, does
mt it? Big shots punished just like little
fellows. But thereupon Tawes trans
ferred title to his automobile to his wife,
and OPA officials said she would get an
A book and perhaps supplementary ra-
tions. Could you or we get away with
that subterfuge if we were caught?
And further, the newspaperman who
exposed Tawes' illeal driving was
promptly jailed for criminal libel"
which the prosecutor said would be pros
ecuted even though Tawes were found
guilty of violation, as he was.
It's nice to hold public office in Mary
land.

SoIon Asks Early
Action on Plan

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-(UP)
Declaring that it is already late
to begin preparation for a broader
social security program, Sen. Rob-
ert F. Wagner, D.. N. Y, last night
urged early congressional action on
his bill to provide Cradle to- the
grave security.
In radio address, Wagner warn
ed that the armistice after the last
war caught the United States COM
pletely without plans for economic
adjustment at home.
THE resulting depression fell
with cruel effect on the generation
that had fought and bled in world
war l." he said.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-16
SHIPPING STILL CRITICAL

An impression has grown up that the
crisis in shipping is fiSished, that the
United Nations have so speeded produc-
tion and so whipped the U-boatS that we
now have more cargo capacity than is
needed for war purposes.
That is wrong. We have done a job
of shipbuilding for which even Holly
wood press agents could not find an ade-
quate adjective We have brought the
submarines well under control, temper
arily at least. But before the balance was
struck and the trend turned our way,
there was so great deficiency that it
will take months - enough months to
make years-before we shall have any
surplus of ships above real war require
ments.
The popular fallacy grew out of
hasty, ill-considered remark by official
Washington. We were told, not long
since, that the problem had ceased to be
one of finding ships and had become one
of finding cargoes. That probably was
true at a given moment. The tides OF
war wax and wane There must be
breathing spells when the driver parks
beside the road and consults his maps.
But if it was true for few days or
even a week or so, it is not true generally.
The official who spoke prematurely could
nave aScertalned easily tnat the moment
invasion activities began, our facilities
once more would be strained to the break
ing point.
It will be the end of 1914 before the
Allies can hope to replace, net, their
early war tonnage losses. BY that time,
if the best qualified experts are correct,
our requirements will have increased
enormously, so that still there will be no
surplus.
We hope and to an extent expect that
by the end of 1914 the fighting in Europe
will be ended. But that does not mean
that the demands on shipping will dis
appear.
On the contrary, we must use huge
tonnage to supply the relief and rehabil-
tation needs of the liberated victims of
the Axis, and at the same time must pro-
vide colossal facilities to carry on the
war in the Pacific
Don't begin countin on ample supplies
of sugar, bananas natural rubber, spices,
gasoline and fuel oil for the east coast,
or any of the things for which ships are
needed You won't get them until Japan
is licked

to attend. I am wondering If the
results now apparent to the people
of the United States, of the third
war"-the war on the homefront-
are to be considered so successful,
that the same men who are re-
sponsible for those confusions and
failures are to plan without pub
licity the postwar program for
the world, and commit the United
States to its share of that pro-
gram?
WILL SIGN PACT
In Washington, the same forty
nations will soon be signing a
postwar rehabilitation agreement.
It is a plan for rehabilitating the
world. The world needs rehabilita-
tion. Again We may agree with the
program. How do you know? The
state department prepared the
agreement; it was agreed to infor-
mally by the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and China. It will
now be signed by the forty-two
nations. But although we are COM
mitted, with money, food, materials
and effort, to this program, we do

for civilian uses except where all war
or CAlP orders are filled and excess
capacity for particular sizes and
gauges exists"
Mr.. Murray said indications We're
that steel operations in the early
months of next year would fall from
; to 10 per cent below the capacity
levels Of this year. From one-half to
three-quarterS of Il million tons of
steel thus would be lost monthly, he
said.
AS instances of steel production cur
tailment recently effected he pointed
to idle Open-hearth furnaces i'm four
the Youngstown (Ohio) district h"
said, twelve furnaces were now idle
for lack of orders
In addition, he called attention TO Il
United States Steel Corporation an
nouncement that its Pencoyd steel
making plant near Philadelphia would
be shut down Jan. |.
Mr.. Murray said that where steel
making furnaces were closed for lack
or orders manpOWer was not released
for other war work except i'm rare in
stances, as the manpower requirements
of the mills were such as merely to
reduce the working time of existing
employees and not reduce the size of
the forces.
This is Il clear-cut problcm," de
clared Mr. Murray. EITHER the war
agencies need all the steel that the
industry can produce or that proper
ton of the induStry'S output that is
not needed for war uses should be re
leased for civilian uses"
