Roosevelt on the question of our
curious political behavior in
North Africa. There were laudatory
speeches on the floor by Fish, by
Wheeler, by Clark of Missouri.
There were solemnly approving edi-
torials in the New York Daily News.
Isolation joined with administra-
ton forces to give verbal slugging
to Wendell Willkie when he returned
from his world trip, demanding
American support of democratic
movements in all countries.
Use Presidents Name.
Isolation, outraged by the Hill
Hatch Ball Burton resolution in IA
vor of a United National organiza-
ton. suspected at first that the
President was behind it. 1t was
beside itself with incredulous joy
when it discovered that the Pres
ident was not behind it. Individual
isolationists or ex-isolationist COM
mentators have been burbling their
happiness at the Roosevelt-C Connolly
brush-of1 of the four Senators.
There is a wholly new note in the
mail I receive from isolationist
sources. On the question of appeas-
ing Franco, for example, these let
ter-writers now ask: Don't you sup
pose that the President knows better
than you do?"-which he may, in
deed. The interesting point is that
these people now invoke that name.
Isolation, in point of fact, indorses
the whole of the policy of concilia-
ton Of Franco, as it indorsed COL
laboration with Darlan. 1t is not
only ready but ecstatically eager to
extend such Endorsement in any fu-
ture instances Of appeasement as
they may come along.
Isolation specifically indorsed Mr..
Roosevelt's front policy of
last year. Though on most questions
it seems to regard the President as
not quite bright enough to shut win
,dows when it rains, it leaned heavily,
during that one special argument,
on the plea that "the President
knows best
Russia Is Big Issue.
2. Isolation, pure and simple, is no
longer an issue in American public
life.
The biggest outstanding issue of
American foreign policy is Russia.
The choices are whether to enter
into formal treaty of alliance with
Russia, as Britain has done, and
wishes us to do; or else to hold out
against Russian influence by encour-
aging every element of conserva-
tionism, monarchism, semi-Fascism
or even outright tbut not Hitler)
Fascism discoverable in Europe.
American isolation has made itself
the party of that second choice. The

weird, new collaboration between
and the administration oc-
ours along the line at which Amer
ica's foreign policy follows that Sec
ond alternative.
Should Work With England.
3. Isolation is no longer opposed
to collaboration, per Sc. 1t applaud
ed collaboration with Darlan. It
would not object to a treaty with
Franco. 1t is not greatly concerned
any longer with the question of
whether we shall collaborate. 1t is
concerned with the question of
whom we shall collaborate with.
The big, vague, woozy questions
of whether we shall collaborate with
the world, or not collaborate with
it, or have world police force or
not have it, have no relevancy any
more. They need not ever be raised,
or voted on, in general form. The
real issues are hard as nails, and
one Of them is Russia.
Hard men are making specific
decisions as to the future of the
world. There was an element of
naivete, therefore. in the spectacle
Of Senators Hill, Hatch, Burton and
Ball holding out a vague wish that
we work with the world" They
were proposing that we win the last
peace.
Isolation must be fought for what
it is now, not for what it used to
be 10 years ago. 1t has changed its
character. If we are going to fight
1t we can do so only by fighting
to have Americas foreign policy
mesh with that of England on the
specific question of Russia; and only
thereby can we beat isola ton, break
up its strange. new relation with
the administration and win the
next peace.

take such a toll of shipping that
the production of American and
British shipyards is sufficient at
best to produce only replace
ments, our military plans must
remain on a restricted scale.
1t is true that the Allied high
command is devising new meth
DDS to cope with the U-boat
menace, but to put into effect
whatever strategic plans it has
found adequate to beat off these
attacks they must have a large
number of planes and we'll

not be produced overnight.
While the total figure of sink

claims of their U-boats' toll in
the last 20 days is not such a
great exaggeration.
Range in Packs of 10 to IL.
AS far as can be ascertained
the Germans now have about l2O
submarines ION station" and by
the end of the month the num-
ber Is expected to rise to 18O.
The U-boats strewn across the
Atlantic are in packs of 10 or IL.
The new German undersea
craft are Of an improved type.
Most of them carry two 5-inch
guns, anti-aircraft guns and, of
course, torpedo tubes. Their
speed is believed to have been in
creased to 8 to 8 knots when
submerged and 20 to % knots on
the surface.
Thus their under water speed
about equals the maximum of
our Liberty ships. On the sur
face. it exceeds the speed of the
fastest Allied merchantmen with
the exception of the few luxury
liners now being used as trans
ports. Their armament also
enables them to stand up to the
small Allied escort ships and
there have been instances when
the German shippers accepted
fights with gunboats and de-
stroyers.
Because OF this improvement
in speed and armament the Ger
mans U-boat strategy also has
been changed. Instead of at
tempting to torpedo ships in a
convoy they surface at night
and attack with their artillery
and torpedoes. And unless the
escort is overwhelming power
full and consists of new detroyers

plan, which calls for the "for-
giveness" of the taxes due on
1912 incomes, so that the tax
payers may 60 at once to the
payment of their income taxes
on current, 1943 income. The
New Dealers, with the backing
Of the Treasury Department and
the President, are opposing this
gift" and supporting the tax
bill recently reported favorably
by the House Ways and Means
Committee majority. The COM
mittee bill forgives nothing, but
permits taxpayers to double up
and pay two years income tax
in one year, in order to become
current.
The New Dealers have sought
to arouse sentiment against the
Ruml plan, first put out by
Beardsley Ruml, president of the
New York Federal Reserve Bank,
and now embodied in a substitute
bill offered by Representative
Carlson, Republican, of Kansas,
member of the Ways and Means
Committee. They have shouted
from the housetops that this is a
mere proposal to give money to
the wealthy, by forgiving their
large tax payments. But this is
not quite true, since the very
wealthy will merely pay, along
with all other taxpayers, income
taxes this year on 1943 income
instead of taxes on last years
income. Under existing law,
they pay only one years tax each
year, and that's what they would
do under the Ruml plan. That
goes for both large and small
taxpayers.
Have Alternate in Reserve.
Naturally the New Dealers, or
some Of them. do not like to be
defeated in this tax method-a
pay-as-you-go plan, much de-
sired by large number of tax
payers. So they are prepared to
fall back, If they can, on a pro-
posal originally advanced by
Representative Robertson, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, member of
the Ways and Means Committee.
Mr.. Robertson's proposal calls
for complete forgiveness of the
normal 6 per cent tax on 1852,
income and of the first l3 per
cent surtax bracket also. This
would go for all taxable incomes.
Its effect would be to exempt
from the 1912 tax ali taxpayers
with incomes ranging up to
$4,000, depending on the size of
personal exemptions. All with
incomes above that would get
forgiveness for their normal tax

Improved Bottle Technique Of New U-Boots
Is Threot to Allied Invasion Of Europe

much more daring than ever
before.
A convoy Of, say, two-score
ships is generally strewn over q
large area with the escorts on
its fringes. The submarines do
not hesitate to surface in the
midst Of the convoy, attack the
merchantmen with artillery and
torpedoes and then crash-dive
when heavier ships open flre
against them.
According to the best available
information, the new type of u
boats can dive to a depth Of 900
feet. This makes the action OF
the lash can" less effective be-
cause of the resistance of the
water at a depth greater than
800 feet.
Moreover, it Is possible for the
German submarines when they
dive below 300 feet to make the
sound detector less reliable. AS
1t is. the detectors on the war
ships are not 100 per cent re-
liable; they give a general in
dication of the position Of the
sub. But when the U-boat dives
at great depths their reliability
is reduced even further.
1t is true that in surfacing in
the midst of a convoy and in &C
cepting engagements with actual
men of war a larger number Of
submarines is lost. But appar-
emily the success of the new
strategy makes it worthwhile.
Corvettes No Longer Effective.
The Allied high command real
ICES that in view of the new man
ner with which the Nazi packs
are fighting, and the improved
type of submarine, we also must
change our method of combat.
The corvettes and the old fash
ioned subchasers which were ef-
fective a year ago against Nazi
submarines are no longer ef1ec-
tive. Anti-submarine ships, if
armed with only 3-inch guns, can
no longer hope to defeat U-boats
armed with one or two 5-inch
guns and with a speed greater
than their own.
The same applies to the armed
merchantmen which only seldom
have larger than 3-inch guns and
do not approach the speed of the
Nazi pirates.
What the new strategy against
submarine menace involves is, OF
course, secret. The Allied chiefs
Of stats have had the matter
under consideration for many
weeks and it is believed that def
mite decisions have been reached.
But decisions alone can not win
the war. They have to be trans
lated into new construction and
these cannot be finished as quick
ly as decisions at conference
table are taken.
While there is the utmost con-
fidence in responsible quarters
that within a few months we
shall have enough escort vessels
and carrier-b planes-the
best weapon against the subma-
rines-there is little question that
we will have to take heavy pun
ishment until our preparations
are completed.
This situation will, of course,
influence the grand strategy of
the Allies and their plans regard
ing the invasion of continents
Europe.

1t would forgive q total of
