The Great Game of Politics
Davis Urged to Demonstrate -Portisonship
By owl Distribution Of Stossen Speech

Many million copies Of that cloudy
and impractical utterance were-and
still are-being distributed here and
abroad. Actually, the Stassen speech
is far better speech.
Mr.. Stassen strongly urged the
extension Of lease-lend and the re-
newal OF the reciprocal trade agree
ment. AS for postwar international
cooperation, his suggestions are
sensible as well as high minded and
entirely In tune with the Presiden-
tial and State Department thought,
Distribution OF the Stassen speech
not only would dispel the skepticism
about the noupartisan nature Of the
Owl output, but 1t would promote
national unity and improve the ma
tional morale. 1t would do these
things by showing that, so far as
the Owl is concerned, there is no
disposition to consider this q New
Deal war.
ton Of the fact that the money
which Owl is spending comes from
the pockets OF all the people, regard
less of parties and not merely from
Administration supporters. 1t would
show that the owl had sufficient
breadth not to ignore fine speech,
we'll designed for its propaganda
purposes, merely because it is made
by Republican Governor who may
be nominated for the presidency.
Would Show Unity Of Aim.
Undoubtedly, the effect OF this at
home would be salutary, but the
effect abroad would be equally 80.
1t would be convincing evidence to
other countries that the Presidents
foreign policies are supported not
only by members of his own party
but by members Of the other party
as well; that there is no division In
the United States on the war and
almost none on postwar policies.
1t would show further that isola-
tionism has been discarded by both
parties; that while the leading men
in this country may differ as to
details, they are united on the fun
damentals OF international cooper
ation-in brief, that our heads have
cleared and the mistakes made here
after the last war will not be made
again.
All this can be read correctly into
the Stassen speech, which might
have been made by a Democratic
member of the cabinet 1t was made
by Republican Governor who is a
presidential possibility.
Considering all the circumstances,
that seems to make 1t worth while
distributing. 1t would be nonpar-
tisan and intelligent for Mr.. Davis
to do so-but the odds are pretty
heavy against his doing it.

| highest plane, completely free from
any trace of partisanship or preju-
dice.
Probably, Mr.. Davis is justified
in his attitude. Certainly. the dis
position IS to concede his innocence
concerning the facts OF political
life and accept his solemnity as
sincere. Unfortunately, however, a
good many Republicans and anti
New Deal Democrats remain un-
convinced as to the colorless ma
ture of the propaganda.
Rigidly righteous, they say, Mr.
Davis may be, but 1t is none the less
true that the propaganda-particu-
larly that destined for foreign con-
sumption--is to some extent con-
cocted by New Dealers.
No Republican Keymen.
1t is true that here and there a
Republican appears in the Owl ma
chine, but they are not In the pol
icy-making nor propaganda a-creat-
ing end. To a considerable degree
these departments are in the hands
OF men who earnestly believe that
anything they can do to perpetuate
Mr.. Roosevelt in power Is a high
form Of patriotism-good for them
selves, for the country and for the
world.
Perhaps, this is slightly exagger-
ated, but, at any rate, that is the
anti administration feeling about
them and some Of the Owl publica-
tions lend substance to the view.
Conceding Mr.. Davis noble nature,
there is rather widely held belief
that in this propaganda business he
does not wholly dominate the show
and that many details escape him.
All Of which makes it timely to
present a constructive suggestion
that would enable Mr.. Davis to
obliterate suspicion, confound his
critics and, best of all, establish the
OWL in the eyes of the country as
really nonpartisan organization
Let him take the speech made last
Monday night in Constitution Hall
by Gov, Harold Stassen Of Mime
sofa and disseminate 1t in the way,
for example, he has that 1912 speech
of Vice President Wallace's which
caused all the New Deal evangels
to shout "Halielujah."

that new and powerful Nazi
forces now are being rushed to
the Southern Russian front.
This unexpected move lends
itself to many interpretations.
In some quarters 1t Is believed
that the Germans are over-con-
fident on their fixed defenses in
Western Europe and after having
been concerned over the posi-
bility of an Allied al-out attack
on France or Norway are now
minimizing the danger.
Other observers believe that
although Hitler has relinquished
the effective command over Ger
many's armed forces. some Of his
generals still are welded to the
idea that last effort should be
made this spring to cut of oil
supplies from Russia by a re-
newed offensive toward the Volga
River and the Caucasus.
Divisions Identified.
Only two weeks ago the Allies
identified a number Of divisions
which had been reported recently
In the Balkans and France.
Many military and political OBJ
servers believed that after the
heavy knocks the Nazis had
received in the last four months
in Russia they would retire to q
short Unexpectedly along the
Dnieper River-and remain on
the defensive. They thought the
main German effort would be di-
rected toward the defense OF
Western Europe and possibly
last strong offensive through the
Balkans either against Turkey or
toward Syria and Palestine.
Latest reports, however, appear
to deny this assumption. 1t Is
true that while tremendously sue
cessful against the German forces
the Russians have lost many men
and large amount of war ma
terial. On the other hand the
Nazs are believed to have suffer-
ed relatively small losses.
The main blow to their armed
forces and to their prestige was
the capitulation of the army COM
manded by Marshal Paulus at
Stalingrad.

This Changing World
New Stun Demand for Western Europe Front
Is Expected Soon by Washington ond London

communiques from Moscow We
know little about actual losses In
Russia.
The opinion OF military observ-
ers who draw their conclusions
mainly from available ofiicial re-
ports is that the Red Army may
have lost heavily in the new
brilliant offensive and may now
be out OF breath. 1t Is also true
that the rapid advance of the
Soviet forces has made the trans
portation OF war materials and
food from their supply bases
more complicated.
All these considerations put to-
gether lead observers not to dis
count the possibility that while
the Nazi forces will fight defen:-
sive campaign In the North they
may be preparing another spec
tacular coup in the South.
The Russians have been nght-
ing without interruption for 2la
years. Whenever the Germans
slowed down their offensive in
the winter the Russian high
command began counterattack-
ing. When the Russian offensive
ended the Nazis resumed.
Satellites Sacrificed.
Consequently. in spite Of the
brilliant spirit of the Red Armies,
the Germans may feel they still
have a chance to get in a hard
blow this spring or summer. 1t
is pointed out that the Nazis
have not been sacrificing their
own men exclusively. Rumanian,
Hungarian, Italian and some
Slovak divisions have been mer-
cilessly sacrificed for the greater
glory Of Herr Hitler.
Military observers agree that
there still is enough manpower
and sufficient modern weapons in
the Reich to enable Germany to
resume the offensive.
The Russian high command
maintains that the Nazi forces
in Tunisia have reached the sat
uration point and regardless Of
how soon Gen. Dwight Eisen-
hover may order an all-out Of
fensive 1t could not detract any
more men from the Russian
front.
The Russian high command is
said to believe that the only way
to reduce the pressure on the
Eastern front is for Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Churchill to keep their
pledges and carry out the Often
sive against Western Europe.
This time 1t will be difficult to
answer that we are not prepared
for an attack. The President,
who also is Commander in Chief
Of the American forces, and the
British Prime Minister must have
canvassed the situation carefully
at Casablanca and they could not
have given their pledges lightly.
They must have known that we
would be ready soon. They signed

shortly.

Civil Service Restrictions
On Promotions ReIuxed

The Civil Service Commission
today eased up on recent regula-
tions requiring commission approx
al for promotions under certain con-
ditions. Personnel officers, acting
for the commission, now may clear
the promotions.
The original regulations were
viewed as an effort by the COM
mission to restrict promotions in
higher grades about which there
had been complaints in Congress.

Conviction Appealed
In Sole Of Cigarettes

William Campbell, owner Of a
delicatessen at 301 Eighth street
NE, who was fined IS in Munic-
ipal Court yesterday for selling
cigarettes to a minor, appealed the
decision today through his attor-
ney, John F. Hillyard.
Judge Nelson had imposed the
fine after hearing that Mr.. Camp
bell had sold package of cigarettes
to 6year-old girl who made the
purchase with money given her by
Policeman Joseph Junghans of the
9th precinct.
Todays appeal contends that in
asmuch as the child had previously
purchased cigarettes on presents-
ton OF a parental note, the child
was only acting as a messenger.

American and British 'Beveridee Reports
Seen as Attempt to Expond the Middle Glass

formation OF the whole German
economy and society is March IS.
The DEGREES were issued early in
February. Their ostensible OBJ
ject is to get the greatest pos
sible war effort out of the Ger
man people, in the face of
gathering developments. But the
result of these six weeks has been
a genuine German revolution,
namely, the destruction and an
nihiliation of the entire German
middle class &. incidentally the
very class, which put Hitler into
power in the hope that he would
save it from the proletarian on
the one side and monopolistic
capitalism on the other. The i'm
portance of these DEGREES is only
TO be understood If one realizes
that Germany is, essentially, a
middle-class nation.
The revolution grows out of
an extension Of the draft of
labor and materials for essential
war work and the military. It's
avowed purpose is rationaliza-
ton Of the entire economy. The
means to achieve this is the
closing down and appropriation
OF the hundreds of thousands of
small shops, artisan industries
and professions. Every single
firm or individual not directly
engaged in maintaining either
the war industries or minimum,
nakedly essential civilian serv-
ices, is being shut down by party
bosses.
On February 5 the Voelkische
Beobachter published three de-
crees of the Reich Ministry Of
Economy, shutting down non
essential" firms. Exempted were
the food and coal, seed, fertiliz-
ers, forage, and agricultural i'm
plements trades. But firms deal
ing with anything that can pos
sibly be regarded as luxuries, in
cluding china, furniture, books,
tobacco, toys, are simply liqui-
dated, at blow. The same Is
true for small craft shops-ex-
cluding bakers, butchers, millers
and all night clubs, bars, tav-
erns and restaurants that may
be judged not absolutely essen
tial.
These are not temporarily
closed. They are shutdown and
their assets appropriated. The
owners may not liquidate by SELL
ing their machinery or inven-
tories. They are appropriated
against receipt, which does no
more than give them priority
for reacquiring machinery and
stocks after the war. II possible.
Their assets are being handed
over to the big essential" firms.
And the whole process is being
rushed through by party bosses
and therefore submitted to graft.
Thus the fruits of decades of
work is being annihilated with
out any process Of law.
What Germany has done is not
reversible. 1t is a decisive step,
changing the entire structure of
the German economy in behalf
of the greatest monopolists. Thus
the Nazi state is destroying its
own economic foundations and
will rest from now on upon MOTH
ing but force as represented in
the interests of the, very largest
firms and the party machine.
The German middle class has
already lost the war.

THERE were two features of the
L 1913 football season that should
be considered at closer range.
The first is that in spite Of all
h%andicaps there we're the usual

gan have won without the help of
Daley of Minnesota and the ten Wis
consin transferees? How man,
games could Purdue have won with
out Butkovich. GEMS. Agase and
others transferred for naval train
ing? And yet they are rated Western
conference co-champions.
ITO claim any championship is
silly, and to keep football going,
schedules next fall should be SO
made up as to let civilian teams
meet only civilian teams, college
trainee teams meet only college
trainee teams, and service teams
play only service teams. Sending
teams with only II and 18-year-old
high school players against trained
veterans is highly unfair.
Take Ohio State as an example
Michigan and Purdue each scored
five touchdowns against Ohio State
in the last Is minutes of play. The
17-year-old boys. just out Of high
school. lack the stamina, and their
teams lack the reserves. This sort
of competition certainly does not
help undeveloped boys. and it GER
tainly doesn't help football"
This is 100 per cent true. There
should be no schedules arranged
next fall between civilian kids and
navy trainee teams or any service
teams. It isn't even decent, much
less fair. to have these 17-year-old
kids. who play their hearts out,
thrown against seasoned veterans
who are older, bigger and far more
experienced.
I agree with the writer above that
this is completely unfair to these
game, eager but ~outclassed kids and
very bad for football as a major
sport. I'd like to add that a num-
Der Of these kids, as long as they
could stand up. gave the veterans
all they could handle.
There were several teams that
had five or six men at these i'm
mature ages-Ohio State, Indiana,
Pittsburgh. Wisconsin,, etc., who for
a good part of the game stood up
we'll.
They lacked the stamina and the
body fiber to 60 the full route, but
they were in there tackling and
blocking. running and passing until
the time came when superior man.
power wore them down.
Just how many of these will be
left for the season of 1914 is any.
body's guess.
But they will be something to stop
a year from now where they are
not outclassed.
A few more months of hardening
exercise is all they need.
They have had to learn the road in
the hard way and this will make
them all the better for whatever
football may have to offer when an.
other autumn rolls around.
For there will be no such crushing
j%uggernauts as Notre Dame next
fall.
Outside Of Army and Navy there
will be a far better balance all along
the line. which is the way it SHOULD
be.
