Western Atlantic ship sinkings last

VINO Officials Open
Par|ey on Tightening
Labor Situation
BY the Associated pres.

bs lne Associated Press.
Regional directors and nationa
chiefs Of the War Manpower Com.
mission opened today a conference
on the tightening labor situation
that may lead to renewal OF Chair
man McNutt's one-time support fol
national service legislation.
There have been several reports
that the administration was con-
sidering proposing a labor draft
law after Congress reconvenes Sep
tember IA, but Mr.. McNutt declined
at press conference to say any
more On the subject than that he
had some very definite ideas on it. >
The one-week VINO meeting, he
said, will cover everything that
affects manpower operations, and
special attention will be given the
West Coast, the Nations No. l labor
shortage region. Other regions
already are being given quotas on
the number of workers they must
provide for transfer to the West
Coasts aircraft factories, shipyards
and other war industries.
Mr.. McNutt, although proclaim
ing a national labor draft 'inevita-
ble," has always insisted that the
timing" of such legislation is some
thing for the President and Con-
gress to decide. Recently he has
avoided discussion of the issue.
VINO officials have declared the
bottom of the manpower barrel"
will be reached by the end of this
month. Virtually all persons who
can be induced to take jobs under
the present voluntary system will be
working by then, but need to re-
place workers drafted for military
service will continue, they said.

man press. The correspondent
thinks the meeting was to form
a political bloc to deal with any
eventualities, and states that
Doenitz is a Nazi, and Himmler
dependent on Speer for arming
his S. S.
In all the talk about "Prus-
sian militarism' little attention
has been given to the role played
in Naziism and imperial history
by the German Navy.
The German Army always had
more limited imperialism than
the navy. Army pan-Germanism
counted the German settlements
in Europe in its sphere of in
f1uence and always was prepared
to wage preventive wars against
the rise of any military power
equal to itself on the continent,
Navy Is Pan German.
The navy, however, was pan
German in the sense of the
"Alldeutsche Verband" and was
for the union of all Germans
from the Balkans to Brazil. 1t
fostered world wide imperialist
pan-Germanism through in
ternal and external propaganda
organizations In an effort to
bring pressures for appropriations
on the Reichstae, which in the
old days was not always amen
able.
There were two psychological
reasons for the German Navy's
virulent pan-Germanism. 1t had
double inferiority complex
toward the army, always more
popular with the people, repre-
senting in their minds, the de-
fense of the homeland, and to-
ward the British with their COM
mand of the seven seas At
home, in both Kaiserreich and
Weimar Republic, the popular
tendency was to regard the navy
as luxury. The navy sought to
overcome this by pleading neces-
sity and promising grandiose
opportunities.
If the Swedish report is correct,
1t Is most interesting that in this
inner secret party conference. no
German general was represented.
During the lifetime of the
Weimar Republic and the Third
Reich, both army and navy staffs
gave methodical attention to
analyzing the circumstances of
the collapse in 1918. The Nazs
created small. but fanatic and
reliable bodies in the armed
forces. But their difficulties with
the army became greater, for the
army is a cross section of the
whole people, numbering mil
lions, whereas the navy remained
small and elite. Although there
have been Norwegian reports of
unrest in the navy, we may there
fore assume that, on the whole,

COW agreement will tower among
joint pronouncements Just as that
marvellous I'VE will fight on the
beaches l94l speech of Mr..
Churchills will tower among
speeches 1t is not surprising that
the inevitable efforts to minimize
and disparage the agreement are
puny and futile.
These come from two sources In
England a little group OF writers
and radio commentators, Just after
the President had jubilantly told
his press conference that the agree
ments at Moscow were "tremen-
dously important" took him to task
for misleading the people" and in
sisted the result would be far below
his estimates.
Chagrined Critics.
Having been proven very wrong,
these gentlemen now fall back upon
the assertion that agreement is not
achievement tas though any one
thought 1t was) and eloomily ex-
press doubts that all the hope held
out will be realized, which is Just a
way of evading admission that the
agreement itself is all that any one
could possibly have hoped for at
the conference and better than any
one had believed likely to be
achieved.
On this side of the ocean the criti-
cism comes from 4 few deeply
chagrined persons who for some
years have been steadily sniping at
Mr.. Hull, partly in the interests of
the ousted Mr.. Sumner Welles and
partly because Mr.. Hull did not take
his policies from them. In an en-
feebled way the sniping continues,
but the small malice behind it is
more apparent and the attackers
are obviously discouraged. And, well
they may be, for Mr.. Hull, the object
Of their sneers and jeers, returns to
a national chorus of commendation
such As has rarely, if ever, greeted
an American diplomat.
In few days Mr.. Welles is
scheduled to make a speech in New
York on The Value Of Trained
Men in. Government" This is in
teresting because one Of the points
especially made by the Hull assail-
ants has been that the Secretary Is
not a trained diplomat and there
fore is incapable Of understanding
foreign affairs So far As not being
trained in diplomacy, that is true.
Mr.. Hull had held 4 number OF dis
tinguished posts before becoming
Secretary Of State, but he had had
no diplomatic training. So far as
understanding foreign affairs, how
ever, not many would care to make
that charge now.
Evening star., 1943-11-10
The Great Game of Politics.

The fact is, that Mr.. Hull has
one asset for successful negotiation
which many trained diplomats lack
some Of them very conspiculously
lack. Unquestionably that asset
was the chief reason for his Moscow
success-as it has been for his
success through life. 1t is his COM
plete and unmistakable integrity.
When Mr.. Hull sits down at table
to confer, it is inevitable that those
with whom he confers recognize at
once that here is an honest man.
1nstinctively and surely, they know
that here is a man who is up to no
tricks and setting no traps; that
here is man who is acting in good
faith. who tells the truth, who
means and believes exactly what ne
says, who will not go back on his
word.
1t seems likely that this trans
parent honesty meant more in Mos
COW IMAM II Mr.. Hull had had the
suave, polished manners and care
full training OF the career diplomat.
1t seems likely that this quality of
complete honesty played an i'm
portant part in an agreement which
not only deals our enemies abroad
a terriffic blow, but at home has won
the all but unanimous backing of
the Senate and the country. In
addition, 1t seems to have taken the
issue of foreign policy wholly out
of the political campaign which
looms ahead, Certainly, this is
great contribution to national unity
in the prosecution of the war. 1t
may be trite to quote an old saying
but it is still true that character
counts"

The Fuehrer implied that the
present battles waged by the
Nazis were principally rear guard
holding operations so that "our
armies covered with many laurels
of glory may rest while for they
are tired. But when the hour
comes every soldier must be
ready"
The Nazi leader thus implies
that after he has permitted the
Allied forces to advance to posi-
tions determined in advance by
the Nazi general staff, the Ger
mans will open a counteroffen-

Whether the German generals
have such plans is difficult to say.
There are indications that Mar

German divisions are reported on
the way across the Alps to REIN
force Rommel. And while it Is
true that we have suffered severe
losses in the Italian campaign it
Is equally true that the Germans
have not escaped punishment.
We have not been able to deter

reports 1t appears they have had
at least as many casualties as we.
