Home-Front Optimism

1t is significant that the closer you
get to the top of our military command,
the nearer you get to the battlefront,
the less talk you hear about an early end
of the war. You will find the greatest
optimism on an American Main Street
But it grows less and less as you 60 up
through the ranks of soldiers and sailors
to the general officers in this country
then to the civilians and soldiers of Great
Britain, and finally to the men who are
doing the actual fighting.
So when Elmer Davis told press con-
ference that nobody knows" when the
war will end, it can be taken as care
fully considered statement For the
Office of War Information director is
thoughtful and level-headed man, and
he is furthermore in position to know
the opinions OF most of the best minds in
the United Nations command.
It is natural and forgivable to over
estimate the Importance of good news and
encouraging rumors. But it is also well
to bear in mind the undoubted wisdom
of this statement by Mr.. Davis:
"Until the mass of German army is de-
feated, the war will lnot be over"

Merchant Marine

About the most ineligible summary
we have seen of the Merchant Marines
vital and difficult part in the war is con-
tanned in an attractive brochure produced
by the American Merchant Marine In
stitute.
We civilians recognize, vaguely, that
transoceanic transportation of men and
materials has been marvelously we'll
handled, and that it has been featured
by great heroism and devotion. But
for security reasons we have been de-
prived of any enlightening running pic
ture of what is being accomplished. In
few words, clearly and Interestingly,
'The American Merchant Marine in the
War" tells the story.
Not only has an undisclosed number OF
men been carried all over the world, but
for each man from five to IL tons of ship
ping has been made available Immediate
" plus two tons month of replacement
supplies Whole railroads, from ties to
rolling stock, have been taken as far as
Iran. This is only hint of what is be-
ing accomplished.

tors, to seize all the cerdit from private
citizens for every achievement And once
they begin Selling the credit for the
accomplishments of the people, expert
ence has shown that they soon begin
selling the resources which made the
accomplishments possible.
Therefore, it is imperative that the
American people be not deluded as to how
and by whom this war is being fought.
Due credit should be given tc the poiti-
cal and military leaders who are coord-
mating and directing the armed forces.
Beyond that the credit goes to the people
for whatever degree of military success
the nation may enjoy The tanks, the
jeeps, the planes and the ships were not
created by government any more than
were the men now in the service of their
country.
Private industry, managed. and oper-
ated by private citizens, is the handspring
of the war effort From the men deep
underground in the mines to the men and
women in the front offices, the job is be-
ing done by sweating individuals who are
working for the glory of freedom, not the
Qualification of government. The mighty
electric power, transportation, and pro-
duction facilities, without which the war
effort would halt in the wink of an eye,
are furnished by countless individuals
operating their own business with a
single determination to help wipe out
alien governments that think they are
bigger than the people.
Our political leaders should heed the
ignominious end of the first dictator to
fall in this war-Mussolini. Mussolini
claimed the achievements of his people
as his own. He dominated their souls and
their property in the name of govern
ment. BY so doing, he brought defeat to
himself and to his nation

August days for week or more have
been perfection. Nights cool, days warm.
BY mid afternoon and early evening the
brass of the locust choirs has reached a
fortissimo. little later there is mod
ulation into another key, this time the
harmony taken up by the cricket section.
Above clouds dot the sky; and below the
grass is parched for want of rain. Sum-
mer gardens are at their height; both
vegetable and flower. There is soft mel
loWness in the air. Along the roadside,
if you happen to get that far from city
streets, golden rod is in profusion. The
August landscape has slight haze. The
DAYS are shortening and as evenings be-
come cooler there is feeling of fall not
too far away. Katydids have also joined
the evening chorus. In short-August.

A Thought for Today
Postwar Foresight Now

Life in postwar America isn't going to
be entirely rosy, Sunday supplement
miracle to soy bean plastics, helicopter
taxiS, tear-drop automobiles and lunch
in-London, dinner in-Paris air travel. 1t
will also face the urgent necessity of
doing something about the dWindling oil
and iron resources of "the richest nation
on earth There is no immediate cause
for alarm, unless the war drags on be-
yond the most pessimistic present ex-
pectationS. But government and indus
try are remembering the lessons learned
the hard way after Pearl Harbor. And
they are not waiting for peace to tackle
the problem of reserves in years to come.
A Senate bill is now pending which would
authorize the government to build and
operate pilot plants for the production
of synthetic crude oil from coal, until
such time as private industry could take
over. Probably there will be no pilot
plants in the near future, for they take
lot of War-necessary money and steel.
But Senate subcommittee has been
holding hearings on the subject, and has
already inspected synthetic production in
in plant of laboratory proportions
While this start is being made, the steel
and mining industry is rushing to lease
low-grade ore deposits in Minnesota, at
the some time searching for any new
sources of high-grade ore: The loW-grade
fields hace been known for years, and
passed over because of the added expense
involved in the use of this ore But now,
when reserves are of such immediate i'm
portance, they are the object of some
furious bidding
OF these two scarcity problems that of
oil seems to be the most serious. But it
holds the most promising solution. 1t
has been estimated that our peresnt Pc
troleum supply might run out in 20 years,
if no new reserves were discovered and
we continued our present rate of con-
sumption. Our coal supply, on the
same basis of computation, is good for
5000 years. We have known about the
oil-from-coal process since it's discovery
in 1914 So has Germany. But while
the United States, secure in her natural
abundance, did nothing about it, Ger
many had perfected commercial process
operating IL years later. About half the
gasoline now used by the Nazi war ma
chine comes from coal, it is believed. This
country also has oil Shale fields in the
west estimated to contain enough oil to
take care of our domestic needs for SO
years. But the extent of this deposits
development has been one mine and re-
torting plant which the Bureau OF Mines
ran in Colorado for three yeras until in
1929 it ran short of funds 1t is time
we went to work in earnest on both these
scarcity problems. Unexpected territor
les, particularly in a more accessible
Alaska after the war, might produce vast
new sources of oil and iron. But that is
no reason for not carrying insurance
against a repetition of the costly and
almost disastrous short-sightednes in the
matter of rubber.

Yale University is richer by the gift OF
the complete library of the late William
Lyon Phelps. This was suitable be-
stowal of so precious gift. One can real
ize the value of the library acquired by
man of such literary attainments; the
gradual compiling and the care and time
that went into its acquiring. Through
this legacy Yale will always have close
contact with man who was so much
part of it and who spent so many years
sharing his knowledge with those who tu-
tored under him.

iency. Life for them is not voyage,
their sails taut with the breeze, the
prov of their ship fearlsesly plow-
ing the waves. Neither do they have
some distant port in mind. Their
lives consist of series of petty lit
tie detectives to be attained by
stealthily darting from one point

other.
Christ came into the world to give
people life and to give 1t more abun-
dainty. For person genuinely re-
ligious, life Is a voyage to distant
port. There will be storms. There
will be nights when the heavens are
black and fearful. But about the
Christians whole life there is roll
licking sense of adventure and trust
which arises from the fact that he
steers his ship by the stars and
know for certain.y that because
hese star are eternal, his voyage will
not fail.

world. Happiness is sure only for
those who make like a vayoge and
life eternal the distant harbor to-
ward which the prov is set.

There is some justification for
this in exceptional circumstances
as, for instance, when the patient is
too ill to take vitamins by mouth
or when Their els some serious i'm
pediment to the assimilation OF
vitamins from the gastrointestinal
tract. Nine times out of ten the
shots are as necessary as two

chant prefers this method of adj
ministration for two reasons, to wit
Cd the gullible customer goes for

more effective as remedy than 1t
would be If taken in the ordinary
way; and 60 they pay so much per
shot.
These facts apply likewise to the
administration of various medicines
such as iron arsentic, calcium,
iodine compounds. Mind, I do not
say such medicines should never be
given by hypodermic, intramuscular
or intravenous injection, but simply
that in most instances the medicine
will give the same results if 1t is
taken in the ordinary way. Injec-
tons are necessary when and if the
condition is too serious for oral adj
ministration or the individual fails
to assimilate the medicine from the

to another ally, the French. But
the State Department consistent
ly opposed having Ambassador
Bogmolov go to North Africa,
and the British Foreign Office
was glad to cooperate. Here the
Russians see the hand once again
of Mr.. Huh and Jimmy Dunn.
Long before this, the State De-
partment was active in trying to
build up series of buffer states
in Hungary and Czechoslovakia
against Russia.
Among the other things they
gave a much-cneriShed diplomatic
passport to Mr.. Milan Hodza, the
appeasement-minded Slovak lead
er who has consistently opposed
the pro-Russian policies of Presi-
dent Benes. Hodza was even
given a passport without the
Checkoslovak Legation in Wash
ington knowing anything about
it, and after his arrival here he
was given a job at the Yale Uni
versity library.
PASSING THE PASSPORTS
The State Department also gave
a passport to anti-Russian Thor
Won Eckhardt of Hungary, who in
troduced the anti-semitic clauses
in the Hungarian legislature dis
enflanchising the Jews.
After Eckhardt's arrival in this
country, one State Department
official actually wrote him a let
ter giving him permission to set
up Free Hungarian movement.
Since Won Eckhardt was famous
for his anti-Russian Hungarian
government to serve as a buffer
state.
When liberal Sumner Welles
heard of this letter, he wrote
another stating that the State
Department did not recognize
Won Eckhardt or any one else.
All of these things have ranked
the Russians. They have listened
to U. S. advice to win the war
first and decide the peace later.
Meanwhile, they have watched

A Tip From Mussolini

1t is becoming increasingly obvious
that aspiring holders of public office are
going to seek renewed tenure on the
strength of their war records. No one
should object to that. But what every
one should object to is the tendency to

Secretary Hull's closest advisers
maneuvering to set up anti-Rus-
sian buffer states, and making
armistice terms regarding which
Russia was not consulted.
That is why Stain finally has
his back up. That is why Russia
is now going ahead with its own
peace plans. That is why An
thony Eden belatedly will rush to
Russia to try to undo some of
the prejudice which Mr.. Hull,
Jimmy Dunn and the British
Foreign Office have built up.
NAZI AIR FIGHTERS
One depressing report on Ger
man airpower is the probability
that they now have more air
PLANES than at the start of the
war. This is despite the heavy
casualties U. S. fortresses have
imposed on the Luftwaffe.
Reason for this belief is that the
Nazis have been able to switch
from the manufacture of bomb
ers to fighters. Fighters can be
produced faster and, with bomb
ers apparently abandoned COM
pletely, the Nazis are turning out
fighter planes at a tremendous
rate.
1t is believed that German
fighter production is around g.
900 to $500 planes per month.
In July U. S.-British bOmbers
destroyed 600 Nazi fighters from
British bases alone. This does
not include losses over Sicily
which must have been heavy.
However, at the rate of 600 to
$500 fighters destroyed per month,
the Nazis still have margin to
work on. That is why U. S. pilots
continue to face tough fighting;
why the Air Forces insist they
have not yet finished their .pob
of softening up Germany.
