Hungary has left, after losing at

Horthy Balks Hitler.
Hitler is reported to have
urged the regent to use strong

as reactionary as Horthy is, he
has refused. The opposition

speeches which do not sound

Of these two puppet states.
This leak was particularly in

since none of the reports being

Europe indicated Hungary had
made any claim for territorial

I'D Rather Be Rioht'
Coalitions Of Liberals ,ond Conservatives
Offer Bosis Of Successful War Aqoinst Hitler

long ago gave up being vehemently
liberal
Mr.. Roosevelt always has been an
expert in making coalitions, even
out of thin air, big ones and little
ones. including temporary five-
minute coalitions, where these were
useful, as when he put Knudsen
and Hillman on opposite sides of
the same production desk: or took
to his bosom both Boss Hague of
Jersey City and Henry Wallace.
Democracy seems to be display
ing a striking new kind of adhesive
power.
II so, we have here not only an
analysis, but program. To further
this kind of unity, this agreement
to disagree and let 1t ride, to do so
deliberately, with eyes open, con-
sciously, knowing that we're doing
it, must be the shortest road to
victory.
And of course that is obvious, but
the obvious has just made star
ting temperance In Africa; and
history Is the constant rearrival of
the obvious with stars in its hair.
No Middle Course.
And what are Fascists, after all,
but men who refuse to agree to dis
agree, men who decide that the
moment has come to elevate their
side and down the other, forever?
One must. on the evidence, ac-
cept coalition as the way to win
this war. That is the thing toward
which France seems to have been
working, in such agony. There is
life in our side yet, a process of
some kind is under way, and both
concentration camp and guillotine
seem suddenly to have become
rather oldfashioned.
That is democracy for you, al
ways putting on a display Of
something new, just when it seems
worn out. I don't know where
this process is taking us. 1t seems
to be taking us toward victory, and
inventing something new for us as
it goes. I have dim kind of feel
ing that a Encouragement of our
political sights is becoming the
order of the day.

permit liberalism and conservatism,
without decision as between the two,
to Join in the fight against the COM
mon enemy.
This has taken the form OF
coalition Conservative Labor gov
ernment in Great Britain, which, in
political terms, approximately re-
sembles the De Gaulle-Giraud ar
rangement.
The United States may not have
a coalition OF parties, but each OF
our two separate parties is its own
coalition of liberal and conservative
wings. One reason we have not
needed formal understanding be-
tween parties is that our parties
have no formal ideologies. But the
congressional mass, taken as whole,
has certainly been kind of loose
coalition in support Of the war.
I think something is happening
in democratic politics which may
take a long time to see clearly.
Roosevelt Turns Right.
What these political phenomena
seem to be trying to say to us is
that this kind Of coalition is an es-
sential condition for successful war
against Hitler. 1t cannot be an acci-
dent that France simply disappeared
when her parties split apart, and
has been reborn with the arrival of
coalition.
These coalitions take the form OF
agreement not to agree, but not to
fight about 1t, either. That is ex-
actly the kind OF internal agree
ment which Fascists have always
believed we could not reach. Until
we attained this kind OF agreement,
the Fascist record was one OF un-
broken victories. Again, 1t cannot
be an accident that the period Of
our greatest military success is also
the period in which We have been
most successful in building coali-
tions.
Some OF the forms are curious.

KeniIworth Citizens Act

Protesting the proposed establish

block Of Kenilworth avenue NE, the
Kenilworth Citizens Association last
night appointed a committee of
three, headed by Charles Maize,
president, to investigate the situa-
ton and suggest means to pre-
vent such use of the site.

ties Commission and the Recreation

the prices paid for labor and
the gains made by the plants
which turn out the goods. The
gains made by both labor and
capital-individually and collec-
tively-are enormous.
They all come out of the war,
by the way. 1t will be shown,
for example, that in some cases
workers in war plants receive
upwards of $4,000 each for doing
work that the men in the Army
are doing-and must do-in the
way of assembling weapons-at
a basic pay rate of $50 a month.
1t will be shown that some of
the war plants are paying huge
dividends, after all taxes have
been taken out.
The people this year are pay
ing the highest rate of taxes ever
paid in this country. Plans are
on foot in the Treasury Depart
ment to boost the taxes far high
er than they are today. 1t might
be a good thing to prune the
costs Of war production-and so
make it unnecessary to grind the
people down with heavier taxes.
The food problem-its produc-
tion, distribution and costs-al-
ready has been tackled by a
Republican House committee,
headed by Representative Jen-
kins of Ohio. His committee has
come forward already with a
constructive proposal-that the
whole food problem and all its
departments be placed under the
Secretary of Agriculture, the
logical cabinet officer to have
charge.
IA Agencies Now Act.
At present, IA Government
agencies are dealing with vari-
GUS parts OF the food problem.
The man who plans for produc-
ton should also plan for food
distribution, and for the prices
to be paid for food. There is
such a close relationship between
all these items that it is folly
not to have them all under the
control of one man, if control is
to be exerted. Mr.. Jenkins has
introduced bill to bring about
this consolidation under the
Secretary of Agriculture. II the
President does not think the
present Secretary can handle
the job, he can get another.
Perhaps the Democrats will take
over the jenkins bill and make it
their own. They could do worse.
The Roosevelt administration,
since its beginning, has sought to
solve the agricultural problem in
this country by restricting pro-
duction. 1t stuck to that line
until this spring-and it still per-
sists In part. The results have
been disastrous in these davs

not only to feed Americans, but
millions Of people outside this

At the recent United Nations
Conference on Food and Agri-
culture, however, this Govern
ment's representatives threw the
old idea OF an economy of scar
city out Of the window and came
out for greatly increased pro-
duction all over the world in the
postwar period. It is too bad it
did not come to such a conclu-
sion few years back. 1t is clear
that millions of people are going
TO be short of food, both here
and abroad. Undersecretary OF
Agriculture Paul H. Appleby al
ready has predicted that food
rationing will have to continue
IN the United States for some
time after the war is ended.

Rumania Hungry.
The situation in Rumania Is
not much more encouraging to
the German Foreign Office. Ru-
manias dictator, Marshal Anton
escu, is willing to sign any COM
mitment the Nazis may ask of
him. But the country is starved
out. The army is said to have
lost more than 100000 men in
the two Russian campaigns and
there Is not enough manpower
left to take care of the farms
which are the backbone of the
countrys wealth.
The Bulgar1ans have not yet
been called to participate in Hit
ler's war against Russia. Their
losses in the campaign against
the Greeks and the Yugoslavs
have been slight and their army
still Is fully modified. BY and
large, the country is reported to
be economically and morally bet
ter off than any Of the other
Axis satellites but, nevertheless,
is seething with discomfort.
The Pan-Slav idea always has
been strong among the Bulgarian
people. All are looking to an
eventual association with Russia,
and now that the star of Hitler
seems to be on the wane the
friends Of the Russians have be-
come so vociferous that the Ges-
tapo has had to step in to bring
order.
More Political Murders.
Political assassinations are a
recognized political method in
Bulgaria. They are considered
as natural as our primaries. The
censorship Of King Boris has not
allowed much to be sent to the
outside world. But reliable re-
ports say political murders have
increased considerably in the last
few months.
Thus, while Italy is tottering
under the bombs Of Allied airmen
the other satellites Of Hitler are
ready to Jump off the tracks"
and are awaiting their oppor-
tunity, just as in the last war.
Hitler finds his diplomatic Job
even less easy than planning
grand strategy.
With strenuous Russian cam

afford to detach any more troops
to keep the satellites friendly"

on these problems.
There has been theory in
many countries that the United
States, the wealthiest country in
the world, can pay many of the
expenses of the rest of the world
and, in addition, feed the world.
The idea has been encouraged by
the speeches of some of this coun-

figured that the United States,
with 6 per cent of the worlds
population, and "a per cent of the
worlds wealth, can do such a job.

Report Is Staggering.
Representative Engel, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, an indefati-
gable worker as a member of the
War Department Subcommittee
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee personally has looked into
the costs of this war-in dollars
and cents. What he reports stag
gers the imagination. 1t also
should send cold chills down the
backs of every American-for
every American must help foot
the bill.
Take a look at the overall pic
ture, as presented by Mr.. Engel
He sees public debt of S300000.-
100000 by the time the war is
over. On May "a of this year, the
public debt was s134,000, 1000, ,000
When President Roosevelt sent
his budget message to Congress
at the beginning of the year, he
said that there was still an un-
expended balance of $4,000, ,0OO.-
900 and asked for $109,0 900 900 900
more.
While it is true that the prep
arations for this war are on
scale never before attempted. it
IS also true that the costs Of the
things required to prosecute the
war are enormously higher than
ever before. Mr.. Engel's voice is
lifted in an effort to call halt
on these excessive costs. The
high costs are due to every item
that goes into production, includ-
ing raw material, labor and man.
agement.
During the First World War,
cantonments to train 100000
men were built at cost of $2O6,-
100000. 1t cost $500, 900 ,000-or
four times as much-to build the
cantonments where the first L.
100000 men were trained for this
war. At the conclusion of the
last World War, this country
was $4,000 0OO, 900 in debt-now
1t is contemplated that 1t will
be 5000 900 900 900 in debt by
the time this war ends. The
figure is so astronomical that
the ordinary man has no idea
what it means-or what it will
mean to him and his family for
years to come. The figure given
is twice the assessed value OF
every piece Of property in the
United States.
