ats Cuts Out

Rarely has the news of persons death trav-
eled more quickly or widely across the country
than Wednesdays Associated Press dispatch
which told shocked dance-music fans that
Fats Waller, joval maestro of the key
board band leader, and composer of popular
tunes, had played his last number and had
cut out Particularly to American soldiers,
both here and abroad, most of whom like to
put their nickels into juke-boxes that grind out
hundreds of his records nightly, and many of
whom have their own disc collections in which
his compositions hold favorite spot-partic-
ulary to them does this passing at the early
age of 80 bring something akin to sense of
personal loss
The papers carry the usual stories-that he
made a lot of money, that his father was a
Baptist minister that he was a family man
with three sons, one in the Army-touches that
make him more the flesh-and blood person and
less the celebrity. But soldiers will think of his
boisterous, rollicking, side-splitting laughter
that apparently only fat man. can bring up
from way down. They will remember his easy
riding, nonchalant touch, his harsh but inimt-
able vocalizing, his 1--WE talk, and the way
he said ''Ye-a-ah at the end of each rendition

The Post Red Cross Chapter which is usual

Christmas Then and Now
BY PVT. CHARLES H. CURL.

150th ON. Truck Co.
I'm thinking of days long ago
When was but boy
And dreaming of a Christmas Day
That would be filled with joy.
Writing notes to Santa Claus
And sending them by dad
Was task as pleasant as
Any I've ever had.
d send them to far off place
In plenty time. so he
Would not be rushed in shopping
For a good boy like me-
And never disappointed when
woke on Christmas Day
found each thing Id written down
Then off to fun and play
Those days have come and gone, and now
I've grown to be man.
I'm looking for Christmas still
But on another plan.
Yes. Christmas Day will come again
For years and years come;
And maybe not with ringing bells
Or beating of the drum,
And somewhere yet there's old St. Nick
Still bagging up his toys
And getting ready for his trip
To bring the world its joys :.
Still dreaming Of Christmas now,
ask St. Nick again
To bring to us real peace on earth
And good will toward all men.

A PRAYER

Be Thou watcher over my soul
Keep it free from wanton lust
Let not my young dreams grow old
Nor high ideals decay to dust.
Let my thoughts e'er be with Thee
Through the long dark days and nights;
And my heart be ever free
Not captivated by false lights.
Let my lips always utter prayer
In praise of Thy glorious name;
Unto Thy understanding care
Confess my sinful blame.

Let not Thy music fall
Upon the ear Of no sound;
Nor the beauty of it all
By finite thoughts be bound.

Soldiers S Prayer

Now lay me down to sleep

And let no other soldier take
My socks and shoes before | wake.
keep safely in thy sight,
And bring me no more drills at night,
And in the morning let me wake
To breathe the scent of srloin steak
Oh spare me from those hikes and drills,
And when m sick, don't feed me pills.
Should | hurt this head of mine
Paint it not with iodine.
Take me back into the land
Where they walk without band.
Where no pesky bugle blows
And where the women wash the clothes
Lord, in cozy feather bed
Is where long to lay my head
Far away from camping scenes
And the smell of half baked beans.
Thou knowest, Lord, my every care
Harken then to this, my prayer:
Hasten the day of peace again
Calm and draftless-Lord Amen

Four Law Scholarships
Offered Disabled Vets

Five new scholarships for the
study Of law by disabled veterans of
the present war were announced
today by James J. Hayden, dean Of
the school of law of Columbus
University. Each scholarship will

course in law effective September

be eligible. the usual admission re-
quirements to prevail.
Dean Hayden said: This rehab-
ilitation of disabled veterans of
the War is one of the great recon-
stfuction problems incident to this
great conflict. Large numbers of
men and women who planned ca
reers in the legal profession have
answered the call of service OF their
country, and those who have been

portunity to prepare themselves for

State Department Policies in North Afrieo
Moy Wreck European Underground Movements

One cannot avoid the impress
sion that the State Department,
or persons in 1t, have a personal
feud with Gen. De Gaulle, dating
from the st. Pierre-Miquelon
affair. Although the fighting
French have rendered us great
services, the head of the fighting
French, Gen. De Gaulle, is
conspicuously and stubbornly
snubbed by the State Department.
The political effects Of this sort
of behavior will be disastrous un-
less the policy is changed. Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Wallace on the
one side and Mr.. Willkie on the
other, cannot go on presenting
our struggle as peoples war for
the century Of the common
man." If the State Department
makes 1t a war for the enemies
of the common man all over
Europe.
The State Department policy
can wreck the underground
movements, organized from one
end Of Europe to the other. At
the outset these movements were
unions Of all the resistance forces
from the Communists through
the conservatives. They are, not
only national but biological.
they are pro-French, pro-Nor-
Weglan, pro-Dutch. They are
also anti-Fascist and anti-reac-
tionary. If We go on welcoming
into our ranks former collabora-
tionists and known Fascists, these
movements will all look to Mos
COW, as the one place where the
line is clear.
Anti-Fascist Front.
Gen. De Gaulle and the British
who are certainly not commu-
mist, have had the political preset
ence to maintain an anti-Fascist
front. BY that they hold the
way open for modern liberal
democracy in Europe, and for .
political compromise with Mos
COW, which is perfectly possible.
But the unrealistic policy Of our
State Department constitutes a
menace to our war. The State
Department apparently believes
that a defeat for the careerists
who run it Is 4 defeat for the
Nation. This Is not true, because
their policy Is not the policy OF
the Nation.
In fact, the discrepancy be-
tween foreign offices and public
opinion has been notable in many
other countries besides our own.
The nature of the diplomatic
service and structure is such that
it practically divorces its members
from contact with the vital cur
rents of life in human society.
1t is certainly noteworthy that
the judgments and predictions
of foreign correspondents have
proved, for two decades, to be
much sounder than those OF most
trained diplomats.
II it Is desirable to achive
unity of purpose in this war,
both inside the Allied countries
and between them. then the
basic policy of the State Depart
ment must reflect the opinion
Of the country and It's elected
leaders; not the opinion of the
country should reflect that OF the
State Department.

had an independent labor union
the National Federation of Federal
Employes-indicting the Federal
Government for lack of economy in
administration and the employment
OF too many useless persons.
Within 48 hours this was followed
by a demand from the assembled
professional leaders of the large
farm organizations that "the rights,
privileges and earnings of industrial
labor be curbed." In addition, they
adopted a program calling for an
extension Of the 40-hour week to
54 hours and a termination of all
tributes" now being exacted as a
requisite for employment, such as
union membership and initiation
fees.
Cherished Policies.
The farm organiza tions Joining
In this declaration were said to rep
resent 90 per cent of the Nations
food raisers In effect, this means
that the farmers OF the country
have taken an open position against
both the 40-hour week and the
closed shop-the two White House
policies 80 deeply cherished that
even in this war period all efforts
to relax them in, the interests of
production have been resisted.
1t does seem that neither OF these
extraordinary developments had the
public attention they deserve. In
the past 1t has been the critics of
the administration chief among
them Senator Byrd-who have in
sisted that the Federal payrolls were
swollen with thousands of useless
jobholders. It has been the Presi-
dent who insisted that this was not
so: that the charge was unfounded
and those who made 1t were ma
licious critics" But, here the charge
Is reiterated by representatives OF
some $4,000 of these Federal en-
ployes. themselves; made in their
ofncial publication and signed by
their chosen leaders.
In other words, the charge is now
made by the men who are in the
best possible position to have the
facts and whose motives cannot be
questioned. If they do not know
the truth. then no one knows It. 1t
is difficult to think Of any reason
for them not to tell the truth.
Political Significance.
This, 1t is submitted, is about rs
complete vindication and support
for those, in Congress and out. who
have been fighting against govern
mental waste and padded payrolls,

prove their case to the hilt and leave
no excuse for failure to correct a
concededly bad situation.
But. the attitude of the farm
leaders Is even more significant from
the political standpoint. It will be
recalled that in the 1896 campaign
the basic political strategy OF the
New Deal was to form a voting alli-
ance between the farmers and the
industrial laoorers which would
dominate the Nation politically and
relegate industry and business to the
rear.
1t was DR.. Rexford G. Tugwell,
then one Of the Roosevelt brain
trust, who took the lead in enunciat-
ing this interesting administration
doctrine. In an eloquent speech in
Los Angeles, DR.. Tugwell stressed the
necessity, from his angle, of this
farmer-laborer alliance and the idea
was taken up and elaborated by
various other New Deal spokesmen.
While no formal alliance such as
DR.. Tugwell favored was formed, it
is true that in 1886 Mr.. Roosevelt
received the bulk of the votes of
these two groups. In 1910, too,
though in a diminished degree so
far as the farmers were concerned.
he was still their favorite.
Chance for Congress.
1t was not until last November
that the farmers seemed to shake
off the hypnotic influence of the
New Deal and regain their political
reasoning powers. Certainly 1t is
true that the largest Republican
gains in the last election were made
in the agricultural States.
The present clash on legislative
program between the labor leaders
and the farm leaders opens up in
teresting possibilities for the new
Congress. In the past, the farm and
labor lobbies, working together and
both with administration support.
have been irresistible. Congress
simply has been unable to stand up
against their combined weight.
In this session, with the lobbies
divided and the administration sup
porting only the labor program.
there Is a chance for Congress to
reassert its independence and act
In these matters for the good Of the
Nation as whole instead of for the
benefit Of special groups at the ex-
pense Of the rest Of us.
The public danger, Of course, is
that. realizing this, the farm and
labor lobbyists will make a deal and
again put combined pressure on
Congress for their joint programs.
II that happens and Congress
yields, the effect upon the war effort
Will be bad. If the farmers succeed
in bursting the price ceilings on food
products. the whole price level will
be raised and the trend toward in
nation greatly accelerated. That Is
the Presidents sound reason for
opposition.
On the labor side. II Congress
permits the 40-hour week and the
closed shop to be riveted upon us,
then all hope for a sensible solution
OF the manpower shortage win dis
appear There are two things to
hope-first, that the two Hobbies do
not get together; second, that If
they do, the new Congress will de-
velop a SUFFICIENT degree Of strength
to resist their demands.

Tribune and Raymond Daniel to
the New York Times, and the re-
port from North Africa of the
CHS correspondent, Mr.. Colling-
wood, all reveal serious political
confusion in North Africa, and
sharp divergency of opinion
between America and Britain.
And, apparently, not only be-
tween America and Britain. Lon
don reports that the Russians
want to be consulted on the stu
alton in North Africa. All the
governments il exile are inter-
ested as they consider our ham
ding of affairs in North Africa
as a precedent for what we NAV
do elsewhere.
This column has always main
tanned that political agreements
between the Allies are as essen
tlal as military agreements. 1t
Is now clear that the military
collaboration in North Africa
were admirable; the political
preparations and collaboration
lamentable. What vacuum they
left Is only now demonstrated,
when we see what attempted to
move into that vacuum.
1t was nothing less than the
ghost of the deadest monarchist
movement in Europe-that of
the French Bourbons, under the
Comte de Paris. The reason it
could move in as a conspiratorial
plot was because no effort had
been made on the part of our
State Department, really to con-
solidate the democratic, modern
and thoroughly anti Fascist
forces upon which alone we can
rely in the long run.
Why Of Our Dilemma.
Our dilemma in North Africa
has derived from the fact that we
nave insisted on regarding all
Frenchmen, even Fascist French
men, as potential collaborators
with us. That was the policy of
Vichy. However it may have
been justified as merely diplo-
matte maneuvering, it was neces-
sary to discontinue it the mo-
ment we occupied North Africa,
and actually Mr.. Hull announced
its discontinuance.
But the only way in which It
could clearly have been discon-
tlnued was to recognize Gen.
De Gaulle and the Fighting
French and insist upon their in IS
tegration into any system set I'D
in North Africa.
