has been passed which will abolish
the Board of Children's Guardians

PRODUCTION
OF FISH IS
DISCUSSED
Itkes Says Estimates Are
Below Demands for
This Year

WASHINGTON, March 6-Secre-
tary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes
said today that despite hopes that
fish production might relieve the
meat shortage, the best estimates
CT the fishing industry for sea
food output this year are less than
so percent of the demand
Ickes. Fisheries Coordinator, had
series of meetings with members
of industry and said although the
Secretary of Agriculture estimated
minimum catch of seven billion
pounds of sea food products will be
needed to supply armed forces of
our Allies and civilian needs, the
best opinion of the industry is that
production will be no more than 81
650,000000 pounds unless many of
the industry's handicaps are re-
moved"
This estimate is slightly under
last years output of 3,700, 100000
pounds
Ickas noted that the Agriculture
Departments goal is about two bill
lion pounds more than the best
production of any year and the
failure to meet it would not neces-
CARLY mean production is falling
off.
He said the diversion of boats to
military uses and the loss of man

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert s. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. - Franklin Roo
sevelt this week began his eleventh
and probably toughest year in Of
flee. 1t will be tough not because
of the war, which is in good shape,
but because of increasing battles
on the home front.
Nothing can ever detract from
the long-view record of Roosevelt
as a great war leader. But in win
ming the war, Roosevelt's greatest
danger is that he may lose the
battle at home-not for himself
not for the Democratic Party
(Which are not Important, but for
the hopes and ideals of the Ameri-
can people.
There is nothing so dangerous
as repeated establishment. And If
the American people were to suf-
fer the same shattered hopes again
as after the last war; if they were
to see their permanent peace
dreams go up in smoke; if they
were to experience the anguish OF
another depression, and the hat
reds of violent internal wrangling
then our political system might not
weather the strain
That is why some of the Presi-
dents friends wish, and have tact
fully suggested, that he follow Abra-
ham Lincoln's example of devoting
more time to domestic problems.
The war. they feel, is well under
way. The main spade-work has
been done. 1t is no longer neces-
sary to watch all the details. Mean
while lot of disagreeable politics
has been going from bad to
worse for lack of Roosevelt's mas
terful touch.

Will Atrocities OF
Present War Ever Be
Revenged! Question!
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHlN1 lON, MdICll O-li tllC
skeptics turn fishy eye or deaf
ear at threats to hale Hitler, Mus
solini, TOTO, ct al, before a court
of justice and sentence them to
their just deserts when this is all
over, they certainly have a good
reason.
Rep. Emanuel Celler IN. "
pointed that out recently. He quot
ed a newspaper advocating "estab-
lishment of a grand court of Allied
representatives, civil and military,
for the purpose of trying those
guilty of crimes during the war"
AND he rang in another news
paper headline: "Atonement for
Atrocities, with the sub-head: ITO
pass this over would be to ignore
a vital issue of the war"
The first was from the London
Daily Express; the second, from
the New York Times. The dateline
On both was 1913
In the same year, John Hayes
Hammond advocated an interna-
tional court made up of jurists from
neutral countries to try perpetrat-
ors of atrocities.
Mr. Celler, delving into the old
files of the librady of Congress, has
uncovered some food for thought
The now almost forgotten Com
mission of Fifteen" at Versailles
drew up list of 900 persons to be
tried before an international judi
cial tribunal and the crimes of each
were listed. No l on this roll of dis
honor was Kaiser Wilhelm II. The
Crown Prince was there, and SO
were Hindenberg. Lud endorff,
Count Bismarck, and Admiral Won
Tirpitz
The crimes with which they
were charged were practically the
same as would be brought against
the Nazis today-mass murders,
mass starvation, execution of host
ages, massacre of prisoners. They
weren't, of course, on nearly so
grand a scale.
What happened? To make a long
story short, 10 persons were final
ly tried by German court. Six
were found not guilty Two naval
lieutenants got four-year sentences
and the other four got six months.
Holland refused to surrender the
Kaiser but, according to Mr.. Gel
Ter, you can hardly blame Holland.
She was acting under pressure
from nearly all the crowned heads
and royal families in Europe.
Not long ago, the President said:
When victory has been achieved,
it is the purpose of the government
to make appropriate use of infor-
nation and evidence in respect to
these barbaric crimes of the invad-
ers, in Europe and in Asia. 1t seems
only fair that they should have
this warning, that the time will
come when they shall have to stand
IN the courts of law in the very
countries which they are now OPP
pressing, and answer for their acts"
That is. say the skeptics, unless
history is allowed to repeat itself
