Congress Goes Home

With all its shortcomings, the rec
ord Of the first session of the
Seventy eighth Congress, which
ended yesterday. is a good deal bet
ter than its superficial critics would
lead one to believe.
In the matter of projecting the
outlines of foreign policy, Con-
gress has done exceedingly well-far
better than would have seemed
probable when the session began.
Both the Senate and the House, by
one-sided votes, have indorsed the
proposition that the United States
should participate in postwar
world organization with power to
prevent aggression and preserve
peace. To be sure, some would have
preferred a stronger commitment,
but others did not want to 60 this
far. Compromise was necessary,
and Congress has struck a creditable
balance. 1t is also worthy of note
that the reciprocal trade program
and the Lend-LeaSe Act were re-
neWed with only negligible opposi-
tion. Congress need apologize to no
one for this record.
Likewise, the legisla tors have been
quick to measure up to their re-
sponsibilities in supporting the Ma
tion's military effort. Although
there has been of late disposition
to examine them more carefully,
appropriations for the conduct of the
war have been made expeditiously
and without haggling. From time to
time there were maneuvers which
threatened to interfere with the
military in the direction of the war.
but they were not permitted to get
beyond control. In this respect Con-
greSs has shown both restraint and
good judgment, leaving the conduct
OF military operations in the hands
of military commanders-wher it
belongs.
The important deficiencies have
cropped out in the handling of do
mestlc problems, and while some of
these have been overemphasized by
critics lacking in sense of propor-
ton, the disturbing fact remains
that Congress gives every indicat ton
OF having no policy and no program
with respect to these matters. 1t is
quite obvious that the President,
having failed in efforts to force Con-
greSs to accept the adminiStrat ton s
program. has now lost control, espe-
cially in the House. But it is also
obvious that no group in either
branch has been able to assume
control, and thus we have such con-
tradictions as a fight against sub
sides on the theory that the people
have plenty of money and can easily
pay more for food at the very time
that Congress is refusing to impose
heavy wartime taxes on the ground
that the people cannot afford to
pay them.
1t remains to be seen whether this
situation will be improved by a
Christmas recess and a visit with
constituents. The outlook is not
promising, but no effort should be
spared to this end for the country
is faced with some painful expert
ences unless responsible leaders in
Congress and in the administration
get together on reasonable domestic
program.

casioned as already sugg ested in these
articles, by a stepping-up of the date
for major offensive in western Europe.
Assuming such a decision to have been
taken at Moscow, and confirmed at
Teheran, it would call for the concen-
tration of every division, every air squad
ron, every landing craft that possibly
could be made available for it. The
Italian campaign would from that time
forward be considered merely in the
light of diversion, and the principle
which applies to all diversions would
become operative: That no diversion is
justified which does not draw off from
the main front at least an equal, and
if possible superior force of the enemy
to that which is used to create the
diversion. Applied to Italy, the yard
stick would be the number of German
troops and planes which can be occu-
pied and held fast irr Italy.

put them to work within few months
after the newly conquered territories
were consolidated, thus releasing large

According to reports reaching WASH
ington. the Japs have been very active
for the past 18 months in Borneo Java,
Sumatra, Indo- China and the Philip
pines.
In the Philippines, however, they have
had more trouble than elsewhere. The
reason is that whereas before the war
there was large section Of islanders
who opposed the American domina-
ton" there are now less than half OF
per cent of Filipinos who favor Jap
anese rule. They are all anxious to see
the Americans back in their country.
The result is that the japanese have
had to cope with continuous guerrilla
warfare.
There still is a handful Of American
officers and privates who managed to
escape before the surrender and they,
together with the natives, are waging a
relentless war on the Japanese occu-
pational force and are supported whole
heartedly by nearly the entire popula-
ton.
But the overall situation in the South
Pacific is favorable to the Japs All the
conquered islands are much better forti-
fed than they were when the British
and Dutch were in control There are
