REPEATING TUNlSlA
Christian Science Monitor

The sweep of American forces through
the western half of Sicily, capped by the
capture of Palermo is rapidly reducing
the campaign to siege operation to clean
up the NaZi divisions penned IN the noftn-
eastern corner. This German force, AID
ed by the natural defenses of the Catanla-
Mt Etna area, have STAYED off a complete
collapse of the Island defenses, but now
faces a hopeless situation.
The capture of orders from the COM
mander of the Hermann Goering Grena-
diers, complaining of panic when the Al
lies landed and sternly threatening pun
ishment, disclOses that in the first hours
of the invasion the British and American
troops came close to achieving an utter
rout of the defenders. The Germans, ap-
parently averted debacle that would
have been completely demoraizing. But
their position now is much like that OF the
Axis armies which tried to hold Tunisia.
They face the bitter choice of attempt
ing to get back to the mainland or stand
ing and being overwhelmed.
General Montgomery's Eighth Army
is again firmly pressing the Germans
northward along the coast American
and Canadian troops are sweeping in on
the other flank and the center and may
cut them off from Messina as Rommel
was cut off from Bizerte, The Germans
have little or no air cover Their commun-
ications both by land and sea are being
Systematically pounded as far back as
Rome and Turin.
Hard fighting may still be in store for
the Allies, but so far they have repeated
the story of Tunisia, where they not only
outmaneuvered, outgunned and outplan-
ned the Germans, but outfought them.
AS that history becomes better known
and as it is repeated in Sicily-its effect
in weakining the Germans and strength
ening the peoples of occupied countries
will be something to watch.

WEEKEND FEVER"
South Bend (Ind.) Tribune

While Middle Westerners are receiving
hints from Washington of drastic curtall-
ment of the use of their cars so that more
gasoline will be available for seriously
distressed Fasteners, it seems that too
many people in the latter section of the
country are "chiseling" and wasting gas
oline. According to the Associated Press.
the OPA chief in New York City districe
said that drivers of nearly half of 10000
automobiles stopped last weekend pro
duced doctors certificates stating their
driving was for health"
This weekend fever" as the OPA Of
fetal describes the ailment for which the
purported remedy is gasoline use on the
streets and highways, has the earmarks
of a particularly intolerable racket. The
implication is that not only wasteful
pleasure drivers but many physicians are
conniving for violation of the ban on
pleasure driving Medical organizations
claiming responsibility for professional
ethics might take positive action to help
the OPA stamp out weekend fever.

Before Congress recessed for the
summer, a House subcommittee
managed to put some of the social
experimenters in quandry and,
at the same time, to lop $43,000,000
off the tax load. The sub-com-
mittee was from the Committee on
Insular Affairs, headed by G.
Jasper Bell, Missouri Democrat
The method was this:
Gov. ReXford Guy TugWell and
his superior, Interior Secretary
Ickes, were asking $50,000000 for
public relief works in Puerto Rico
during the next two years. Mean
while, the Bell committee found,
the inSular government had $780,
100000 of idle funds i'll Puerto
Kican banks.
In this connection it should be
borne in mind that Puerto Rico is
relieved entirely of any contribu-
ton to federal income. The in
sular government receives and re-
tainS all revenue from any source,
including income taxes, which are
fixed just enough under the federal
level SO that islanders will not
finagle to be taxed by Washing
ton. The $G0,000,000 was surplus,
from those revenues which, in the
case of a mainland state, would
have gone to Mr.. Morgenthau's
Golfers.
Rightly or wrongly. the Bell COM
mittee believed that Messrs. Tug
we'll and Ickes intended using their
$50 100000 to finance experiments
in state socialization authorized
under the Little New Deal pro-
gram, and to force the federal
treasury to carry the burden OF re-
lief for the island.
So the $5O,0OO,OO0 Ickes-Tugwell
request was pared to $7000O0O, a
reduction of $43,000,000, and Mr.
TugWell must choose between
diverting the islands own funds to
relief purposes or incurring the
animosity that withdrawal of re-
lief would entail.
The committee has another bee
in its bonnet, too. 1t is told that
there is between nine and ten mil
lion gallons of rum in Puerto Rico
which, if shipping space can be
found, could be marketed here to
bring the insular government tax
revenues between $54,000,000 and

Capital Talk

The story of u. S. foreign trade
in wartime-When it can be told in
detail-will make one of the more
romantic chapters in the book Of
Business Follows the Flag" For
in spite of shipping shortages, sub
marines and the requirements OF
the armed services on eight diff
ferent fronts, the volume of U. S.
foreign trade has been going
steadily upward. The United States
is now exporting three times as
much as it imports, and that does
not include the military and naval
supplies going to U. S. forces,
though it does include shipments
on lend-leaSe.
Only figures now gwen out on
this foreign trade are by dollar
volume. For the first quarter of
1943, those totals were IMPORTS
valued at 81 billion, exports Of
S3.4 billion, which is at the rate
of 81 billion. a year for imports,
Sl3 billion a year for exports.
Compare that with the $27 bill
lion imports and the $40 billion
exports for 1912.
OF these amounts, not quite SO
per cent of the imports and not
quite 40 per cent OF the exports
were on order of the Board Of
Economic Warfare. This is the
important part of the U. S. foreign
trade III wartime. 1t Is the nucleus
of what will be developed into
Americas postwar foreign trade,
for in al lthese transactions the
actual trading is not done by the
government, but by established
private business houses engaged
in export and import trade. BEW
determines what commodities snail
be brought in and grants the
licenses controlling exports.
MILO PERKINS EXPLAINS
Money for the deal is handled
by~ Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and its subsidiaries. But
the actual deals are handled by
commercial firms actually IN the
business.
Milo Perkins, executive director
of BEW, in explaining to Congress
how his Office of Imports was
directing the purchase of some COG
different items in 40 different coun-
tries, recently gave an insight into
the motives of this method OF
doing business:
IN all import operations" he
Imperial Valley press., 1943-08-01
-by-
Peter Edison

said, "the interests of u. S. COM
merciai importers must always be
considered. If coffee is to be
brought in. coffee importers
handle the job as agents OF the
responsible government corpora
tiOns. If fats and oils are need
ed, all u. S. oil importers are
invited to Join special assOcia-
tion to handle the operations.
It's good business to use the skill
and experience of these men now,
and it's good business to help
them weather the storms of this
war economy 50 they'll still be
in business when the war is over"
On all these jobs, the COM
mercial importers are paid a fee TO
act as agents on the deal.
The same system is followed on
exports only here, the volume Of
business being three times as great,
it is that much more difficult.
TRAINED EXPORTERS NEEDED
There are IN al about 10000 U.
s. firms that have beel. in the eX-
port business at one time or an
other, shipping out some $500 items
to 140 different country destina-
tions. The job now is to see that
no export shipments fall into the
hands of a foreign importer who
might re-export to the enemy. The
work is complicated further by this
licy of protecting commercial
porters, particularly the smaller
concerns.
Just as in the case of import
ers," says Perkins, eve need the
services of trained commercial
exporters now and we shall need
them much more to spreahead
US. commercial activities abroad
when the war is over"
About half OF the cash exports go
to Latin countries, and
the principal consideration in
granting export licenses is to con-
tribute towards keeping those coun-
tries alive economically so that
there will be something there to
trade with when the war is over
The hush-hush part of BEW's
lob is the work of what it calls its
economic commands" who must
scour the world to find new sources
of materials like balsa wood
quinine, fiber substitutes and Ions
list of minerals without which thu
war might well be lost.

NEEDLESS INVASION

Reports are that many congressman are
seriously thinking of increasing postal
rates in the United States in order to in
crease tax revenue. This would be
needless invasion of the taxpayers pock
etbook.
A bill introduced by Representative
Thomas Burch, Va would protect the
average letter-sender from an increase in
postal rates and at the same time would
bring in the wished-for boost in tax rev.
enue
The Burch bill would abolish the free
mailing privilege of members of the
House and Senate, making it necessary
that they glue U. 3. postage stamps on
their bulksome correspondence as any
other citizen must do
By doing this the post office depart
ment would show a credit of SO million
dollars instead of debit of II million, as
it did in 1912.

The Germans were counter-at-
tacking on some sectors as many as
four times in "a hours and the
army organ Red Star reported they
had brought up big aerial REIN
forcements in final, desperate ef-
fort to save Orel, exposed hinge of
the southern and central fronts.
Despite growing opposition, Red
Armies advancing on the Bastion
from the north, east and south yes
terday hammered out gains of two
and a half to five miles and over
ran 20 more towns and villages.
Nearly 1900 enemy officers and
men were killed.
WIDEN BRIDGEHEAD
South of Orel, Russian forces en-
trenched on the west bank OF
strategic river widened their bridge
head in a bitter battle that cost
the enemy more han 1000 dead,
as well as 20 tanks and 81 guns.
German troops withdrawn from
forward positions below Orel several
DAYS ago now where established in
more favorable defense positions,
which they were using as bases for
counter attacks.
A German infantry regiment OF
5000 men, strongly supported by
tanks and planes, exhausted itself
in a futile counter-attack north OF
Crel, then was forced to yield a
strongly fortified defense position
when the Russians suddenly attack
ed. Eight hundred German dead
and nine tanks were left on the bat

IN A YEARS TIME

The war isn't over yet but within the
short space of year profound changes
in the acts and attitude Of our enemy
have come about.
A year ago German home radio stat
ions were boradcasting propaganda like
this:
1.-THE truly Roman characteristics of
ii Duce maying him, as the creator of
new Italian Empire, great figure of our
time, are vigor anG vitality and his tough
and diciplined but sympathetic youthful
ness and statesmanlike wisdom, which he
combines with patience and the capacity
for knowing how to wait"
Friday, with EX-Duce Benito Mussolini
being held under guard for fear that he
may be slain by some of his own people,
German station was heard to broadcast
this:
"The Italian nation awaits events which
it presumes to be imminent. Uncertainty
prevails and this condition favors insur-
rection."
year ago the Nazis were boosting
Mussolini as second Caesar. Today his
empire" is in Allied hands and his home
land itself is in dire fear of invasion.
Beamed to Britain and America from
Radio Rome on July 81 of 1912 was this
broadcast:
Not only has Churchill's dream of
landing. in Italy to make the peninsula
a base for operations against the Reich
vanished, but Italy now dominates the
Mediterranean and Is, with Germany,
destroying the nerve centre of the Brisish
Empire"
Right now British, American, Canadian
and Australian troops are clearing the
last remnants of Axis forces from the
large island of Sicily, only two miles
from the toe of the Italian boot. 1t is
only step across that strait and Church
hills dream" will then come true
1t may not even be necessary for an
Allied invasion by force. Peace riots
and demonstrations in Italy may force
the government of Marshal Pietro Bad
oglio, who ousted the vigorous" Mussol
ini from power, to quit the war on the
terms offered by the Allies. These terms
are unconditional surrender, which would
allow our troops to move into Italy ard
use it as a toehold on the continental
fulcrum from which it will be possible
to lift Herr Hitler from power.
Yes, lot has happened in year.

tlefield.
Russian Calalry attacked in Q
neighboring sector and captured
several villages. German prisoners
captured north of Orel said they
had only recently arrived on the
eastern front.
East of Orel, more than 1,00(
enemy troops were killed in one sec
tor alone.
NAZIS COUNTER-ATTACK
German troops also were counter.
attacking heavily on the Belgodod
front, l65 miles south of Orel, and
in the Donets basin, farther south.
Red Army tanks intercepted a
counter-at in the Belgorod area,
destroying three tanks and then
wiping out the greater part of the
infantry following behind. Russian
fighters shot down five out of a
formation of 90 German aircraft
attempting to attack Soviet ground
forces and routed the remainder.
Fourteen other German planes
were shot down below Izyum and
southwest of Voroshilovgrad in the
Donets basin, where the Germans
were seeking to wrest the initiative
from the Russians and dislodge
them from bridgeheads on the west
banks of the Donets and Mus
rivers.
On the Leningrad front. the Rus
slams captured village in one sec
tor and killed about 1000 enemy
troops in another.
Soviet planes were credited with
sinking an enemy transport in the
Gulf of Finland, while the Red
Navy sent two patrol ships to the
bottom of the BarentS sea.
