The German professional military class
contains unrivaled tacticians. They are I'M
rivaled drill masters. No soldiers In the
world have ever equaed them, in the COM
petence with which they can handle troops
tanks and guns in combat.
The weakness of the German war
machine hes not in it's tactical character,
which kept a full jump ahead of the Allies
in the first World War. 1t lies in the larger
employment of troops; in what they call cam
paign strategy. Here they make mistakes,
frequently stupid mistakes, and therein lies
their defeat.
Looking still higher in the conduct of
war, to its supreme direction by general
STATS and heads of government, the German
weakness is again disclosed. Here is where
the dictation of Hitler-has already brought
defeats to Germany and Hitlers final and
consummate mistake, as | see it, is his
insistence that the German armies fight it
out with the Allies in Italy and in the
Balkans.
COUTH Of the security of the Alps and of
~ the Carpathians the German armies fight
without advantage. Their difficulties of
reinforcement and supply operate against
them. But the German divisions in Italy are
undoubtedly being strongly reinforced, at the
expense of German strength elsewhere, and
frst-class battle will be offered us on that
peninsula before Italy is relinquished and 1
think also before the city of Rome is sur
rendered.
Here I think is indicated where lies the
real Allied front in Europe, the important
front, the front which We have already
gained the front where the war can actually
be won. Victory in Italy and on the Danube
means, also, victory in Russia, for the Ger
man armies cannot remain on the Dnieper
River if the Allies gain Rumania. and they
must be progressively weakened if great
battle of the war mounts on both sides of the
Adriatc.
Under these circumstances. venture 10
express the hope that plans for-sn attack
across the British channel where Germany is
strongest, will be further suspended.

The international EBsaEak

Q EVERAL of the most important commit
~ tees of Congress-those concerned with
banking and currency, coinage and foreign
affairs-have recently heard some OF the de-
tails Of the administration international
bank and sterilization fund" program from
Secretary OF the Treasury Morgenthau.
The strictest injunction of secrecy, how
ever, has been imposed upon them and,
consequently, the American people remain
completely uniformed about this vital matter.
AS George Rothwell Brown, Washington
observer and commentator for the Hearst
newspapers remarked:
1T was apparent that the administration
j. most anxious To gain support in Congress
for the scheme that j. being worked out be-
tween Washington and London, but that il il
unwilling that the AMERICAN PEOPLE
SHOULD LEARN ANY OF THE DETAILS
UNTIL THE WHOLE PROGRAM HAS
BEEN DEFINITELY DETERMINED AND
AGREED UPON"
IT HE people have long been mystifed about
the postwar financial arrangement the
American government is making with Great
Britain, and are now more than ever sus-
picious and alarmed about il.
II is to the credit of representative MEM
bers Of Congress that they are resentfuI of
the injunction of secrecy imposed by Secre-
tary Morgenthau and that THEY ARE
URGING PROPER DISCLOSURE OF THE
PROGRAM TO THE PEOPLE"
Rep Frederick Smith Of Ohio, for instance
objected to the administrations policy Of
secrecy in this fashion:
II have made study of the proposed
sterilization fund and believe l understand
IL as well as anybody at this time can under
stand II.
There il no reason why the American
people should not be told precisely what j. in
this scheme. There is nothing in il which if
made public, would give information to the
enemy"
d EP. JESSE WOLCOTT Of Michigan ex-
N pressed ms resentment IN similar vein,
saying in fact that he intended 20 introduce
q resolution in the House Of Representatives
demanding a complete congressional invests
cation Of the negotiations.
In spite OF the Official secrecy about The

proposed international bank and sterilization
fund enough is known about the projeC' 10
warrant the GRANEST PUBLIC ALARM,
1T is a matter of known fact that, as COM
mentator Brown reports
Under the PLAN the proposed iHtprna-
tional bank Woud hayc-a capital of 10 billion
dollars, TO be subscribed by the various ma
tons on the basis Of their financial ability
1T was apparent 10 members of the com
mittecS that under the terms of the plan,
THE UNITED STATES WOULD BE BY FAR
THE LARGEST SINGLE CONTRIBUTOR"
A MOTHER well known and especially
n alarming fact is that the principal nego-
uator for Great Britain in this matter is John
Maynard Keynes once called THE ENG
LISHMAN WHO RULES AMERICA
1t was the financial theology of Lord
Keynes - that of unrestricted government
spending as a cure-a for depression and
unemployment to which President Roosevelt
turned when he repudiated his campaign
promises and his professed program of rigid
economy.
It will be recalled that Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected in 1896 on SACRED PLEDGE of
economy, and for some months in the early
days Of the New Deal, lived up to that pledge
business revival began to be general through
out the country.
Happy days were come again
D TT at the very moment of recovery and
- revival the President suddenly changed
TO a program Of lavish spending, high taxation
and reckless borrowing. Thereafter, there was
no recovery and revival in the country, but
prolonged and dcepened depression.
And it IS significant that the program 10
which Mr.. Roosevelt had turned and to which
he has assiduously adhered ever since, was
the KEYNES program.
1t is not conducive 10 public confidence TO
know that the man responsible for govern
mental extravaganza and waste in all these
recent years is now in the United States FOR
the obvious purpose of shaping our postwar
financial pohcicsan that he is being per-
mitted 20 do this under a cloak of silence.
Congress should reject the injunction of
secrecy, and keep the American people in
formed about their vital affairs in order that
they may have a VOICE in those affairs.

of the war has changed. Our enemies can

Selected oils, foods, rubbers,

Texas Corp, L. s. Rubber and
Pepsi-Cola were we'll supported,

Rails were weak in early trad
ing but came back later. Avia-
tons were mixed with Douglas off
a fraction and United Air Lines

Dow Chemical was a particular
