The first thing to be done is to
get jars, lids, rubbers, and Gamer
ready. If you have no pressure cook
er, get along with water-bath cam
ner. Examine every jar and lid to
see that it is in good condition-re-
member glass top seals and two
piece metal vacuum seal caps won't
work unless the top edges of the
jars are perfect. Wash everything
clean; cover jars, glass lids and
zinc caps with lul1e-warm water and
put on the stove to heat. Cover
vacuum seal lids and rubbers with
boiling water and leave until need
ed. When everything is ready,
gather the corn-bring in no more
than needed for one Gamer full.
Keep In mind that canning too much
too late is a common cause of spoil
age. Place the corn on a board
and use strong sharp knife to cut
the husks (shucks to you in the Mid
die West and South off at each end
just where the corn begins and ends.
There shouldn't be any worms If
you have followed Victory garden
directions, but if there are worms
in the tassel end, cut deep enough
to leave them with the husks. The
husks will come off easily and bring

Examine every ear of corn and
use only those having plump. glossy.
Julce-hlled kernels. Remove all
silks; rinse the corn and cut it from
the cob. One or more cuttings may
be made, but scrapings should not
be used unless processing can be
done In pressure cooker, because
the scrapings make a thick mass
that heats through slowly. Cover
the corn with boiling water, using
about half as much water as corn;
cook five minutes; then pour imme-
diately into clean, hot jars. A gen.
erous amount Of water helps the
corn heat through quickly and aids
in preventing its sugar from carmel

Defense And Offense

Warfare is constant struggle between offense
and defense This is illustrated by the Armys report
of new anti-arcraft gun that fire projectiles,
with accuracy, 10000 feet into the stratosphere.
This is about 10000 feet higher than the best
antaircraft gun hitherto available and is believed to
exceed by far anything in the possession of enemies
The development of anti-aircraft artillery is pro
ceeding apace with the use OF aircraft on attack Inc
accuracy of ground fire is improving
This was demonstrated in the latest victory over
the Japanese over Guadalcana, where gunfre from
warshps brought down sixteen OF ninetyfo japanese
planes destroyed.

In recent weeks, ever, with
the growing attacks on German cit
les. the surrender of the Italian is
land fortress to forces utterly in
different to walls of steel or con-
crete, the German propagandists
have begun to realize that they went
too far in building faith in a wall
that their propaganda is in danger
of back-firing. They realize that if
that concept is held, and if the AL
lies make landing at any point
and break the wall, the civilian mo-
rale will break with it.
So the tune has suddenly changed.
Now we hear that the shores of the
Mediterranean are protected by a
splendid mobile defense there is no
south wall to Europe-none is need
ed. The European continent under
German dominance is ideally
equipped. far better equipped for
offense against any invader who
might get foothold than the in
vader could possibly be; the diff
Guilty Of the Allied transportation
across water is stressed. the power
of the submarine is emphasized.
But this about-face. according to
observers here, has come pretty late
and can hardly create much con.
fidence on the part Of a nation which
has had the myth of the Fortress
Europa pounded into it for over
year.
About the LufttDoFe
There is another factor, Of course,
which is working against enemy mo-
rale; that is, the fact that the hard
est blows now struck come from
the air with the weapon which Italy
exalted and which Hitler forged and
put into effect in the form of his
one-time invincible Luftwaffe.
Meanwhile, what has happened to
the Luftwaffe- which some people
have called the vanished" Luft-
waite?
We have heard much about it dur
ing past months, but very little has
been Of definite nature.
Well, the paper strength of Ger
many's air force has been pretty
well plotted from data obtained in
confidential reports to Allied head
quarters here and abroad. This is
what it looks like:

say, they are attempting to slow
down the American and British
forces. They are counterattack-
ing whenever possible but they
have not attempted to make a
strong stand in any particular
position by throwing in a large
force with instruction to die on
the spot.
Whether they will decide to
change their tactics in the near
future. before the Allies get dan
gerously near Rome. depends on
the number of fresh troops the
Nazi high command can rush to
Italy in the next few months,
military observers say.
If the German general staff has
promised to send Marshal Rom
mel another 100000 men between
now and the end of the year it
is possible that we will soon find
ourselves faced with a much more
determined resistance. II, on the
other hand, the German strate-
gists feel that they cannot detach
a sufficiently large number of
troops from the eastern front,
then we must look to a continual
ton of the type of fighting the
Nazis have offered since Salerno
strong resistance but never any
attempt to meet us with their
main forces.

international authority with pow.
er to prevent aggression and pre-
serve the peace OF the world" This
represents very long step for
ward from the state Of opinion of
this country two years ago. 1t
Is, in fact, declaration Of broad
principles permitting our diplo-
macy to elaborate on that foun-
dation and to submit subsequent
results to the Senate. For it is
clear any declaration of such
broad principles has to be i'm
plemented.
A Clean-Cut Pledge.
Senator Vandenberg praises the
resolution as "clean-cut pledge
to the maintenance Of American
sovereignty and to the scrupulous
use of constitutional procedure.
Too much has been made OF
the possibility OF America limit
ing her sovereignty. The theo-
retical argument to be made in
favor of the limitation Of the
sov"-eionty Of all nations and
the delegation Of specific powers
to a worldwide authority mu-
tually created, is, to my mind
unansWerable. There will never
be any genuine and free inter-
national law until there is a SOW
erelgn international instrument
with the power to create and en-
force its laws. But in the sphere
Of practical politics this question
remains platonic. For there is
not the slightest indication that
either Britain or any member of
the Commonwealth, or Russia
would agree to relinquish any
essential sovereign powers to a
really strong international au-
thority.
The most that can be hoped
for or foreseen in any near fu-
ture Is some sort Of pooling Of
power, for defined purposes and
tentative lengths of time. Should
such a program work with rea-
Sonable satisfaction to all con-
cerned, 1t might evolve in time
into the creation of real in
ternational authority.
To center the question Of
American participation in an in
ternational program to keep the
peace, around the issue of ma
tlonal sovereignty, is mere OBJ
structionism, for that is not the
issue.
Regardless of what high hopes
may be entertained concerning
the tripartite conference. in Mos
COW, this Senate resolution both
strengthens the position of our
negotiators and clarifies their
limitations.
And regardless of what reso-
lutlons might be passed now, the
question of how far American
opinion will be willing to go, in
international political climate
which exists at the end of the
war. This climate will not be
created by treaties or other for
NAL commitments, but they will
rather be the expression of the
climate. And not all the winds
that blow arise in North Amer
lea.

the American people would not have
sanctioned steps to prepare II they
had been given the deliberately sup
pressed facts. Further along in his
speech Mr.. Willkie took sharp issue
with Gov. Dewey. his most potent
rival, who has advocated 4 postwar
British American alliance as basic,
by asserting that we will never get
to the common ground" for q per-
manent peace "by indicating that
we prefer to make offensive and
defensive alliances with one rather
than another OF our major allies"
This will not please those who be-
lieve a British American alliance Is
the first essential, but it will please
a lot OF others.
Vague on One Point.
On only one point in the speech
IS Mr.. Willkie really vague. He
makes more sense and is less nebu-
lous in dealing with the farm prob
lem than any recent speaker. But
on the labor management problem
1t is not easy to grasp what he
means by this: I'VE will solve it
only by making labor an essential
part of the Government. 1 do not
mean just by having Secretary of
Labor. I mean that in addition to
real representation in a real cab
lnet~ labor's representatives shall
help determine Governments fiscal,
domestic and international policies"
The question arises, "How?" What
does Mr.. Willkie want to do along
this line that Mr.. Roosevelt has
not done? The labor Hobbies in
this administration have had a tre-
mendous influence on policies. For
example, they have blocked-and
still block-the sales tax. They
have given weight and backing to
the spending policies which under
lie the whole New Deal philosophy.
They have stood in the path of
economy and are today affecting
the Governments attitude toward
imitation, price control and various
other things.
In fact, 1t is hard to think of a
policy upon which the labor lobby
ISIS do not exert an influence. If
there is a way by which they can
be given a larger voice in govern
ment. except by turning it wholly
over to them, it has not been sue-
gested. Mr.. Willkie now suggests
1t, but fails to explain how. Aside
from this rather alarming vaguity,
the speech is clear and forceful.
And now that he has discovered he
can express his views without over
working the words liberal" and
liberalism" perhaps an apology is
due Mr.. Willkie for linking him with
Mr.. Wallace He is a much bigger
man than Mr.. Wallace and makes
a much better speech.
AS OF today, he is easily the lead
Ing Republican candidate with a
popular strength that will make it
very difhcult for his party to turn
him down.
Evening star., 1943-10-18

In this column pointing out the SIM
ilarity between the public utterances
of Mr.. Willkie and those of our
earnest Vice President, Mr.. Wallace.
Up to Friday night that certainly
was true. But, it is not true now.
Mr.. Wallace never made a speech as
clear as this, or as free from bunk
and bombast.
In the past, one of the chief points
of resemblance between the Willkie
| and Wallace speeches was the fervor
and frequency with which each pro-
claimed himself liberal" profess
sed his devotion to the true liberal
ism" and larded his addresses with
variations of the word. This makes
notable the fact that in Mr.. WILKES
latest not once is the word used. In
stead OF marring the speech, this
clearly calculated omission improved
it, 1t was a relief that for once Mr..
Willkie found it possible to enunciate
his views without tiresome repetition
OF word which has been worn so
threadbare by radical writers and
labor agitators that it has ceased to
have any real meaning For Mr..
Willkie. this was a record. Maybe,
Mr.. Wallace will emulate his exam
pie, but up to date no article he has
written nor speech he has made but
has been heavily sprinkled, not to
say saturated, with liberals which
likely is one reason they are so hard
to understand.
Speech of Candidate.
For once. anyhow, Mr.. Willkie
freed himself from the shackles of
this hackneyed word which the DEM
agogues Of both parties have appro-
priated in order to denounce their
opponents as reactionaries. It's alb
sence made this Willkie speech the
most intelligible he has made 1t
was the speech Of a candidate all
right, but a good one. First, there
was his ringing challenge to the
Roosevelt fourth-term candidacy,
his dedication of himself to prevent
his election and the sound reasons
he gave as to why this is in the ma
tional interests. Then there was his
powerful indictment, in the light Of
the State Departments recently re-
leased White Paper. of black
record of inertia and inaction in the
face OF specific warnings by our rep
resentatives in Japan and Germany.
In particular. Mr.. Willkie de-
nounced the administrations excuse
for our lack of preparedness that

the proposal for the League would
not be approved in its draft form
and suggested it be deferred until
the treaty was completed.
Our participation in the League
of Nations foundered on the fact
that the President insisted on the
whole treaty and covenant being
accepted, in toto, without a single
modification.
Now, the interesting thing
about the whole controversy is
that the notifications demanded
by the Senate, chief among
which were those applying to
sanctions, were not Unacceptable
to the Allied powers Actually, in
operation, the Interpretation of
the Covenant desired by the
Senators was internationally &C
cepted, and was probably the
sense of the questionable para
graph from the beginning. The
President, who wished to force
his will upon the Senate rather
than take nine-tenths of loaf,
got, in the end, no loaf at all.
Only Limited Authority.
This painful history should be
borne in mind in connection with
the proposed postwar pledge of
collaboration now before the SEN
ate, A pledge of some sort has
been asked for by the President,
who is undoubtedly keenly aware
of Mr.. Wilson's mistakes, as we'll
as Of his noble fight.
In our Constitution the Execu-
tive has only limited authority
IN foreign policy. He must take
the leaderShip-but he is always
subject to veto, and in treaties
subject TO veto by one third of
the Senate, Other nations find
1t difficult to understand this and
often leave it out OF their calcu-
lations. 1t is therefore well they
should be reminded of it right
now.
Experience has proved that this
constitution Of limitation neces-
states slow procedures in inter-
national affairs. We cannot take
drastic steps. We can only 90 as

front. There Is 4 good deal Of
activity on the railroads and the
highways leading to Italy and
Northern Yugoslavia. How many
troops are involved still is . ques-
ton mark and until more positive
Information Is obtained we must
only guess at what strategy the
Nazis will adopt In italy.
OF course. everything depends
on how bitter the fighting In
Russia is going to be. The Rus
slams continue to advance par
ticularly around the bend Of the
Dnieper River. Here also the
Germans are continuing the
strategy Of "disengaging" them
selves.
Important rearguard actions
are being fought with bitterness,
but so far there has been no indi-
cation that the Nazis are offering
determined stand at this point.
Their principal preoccupation
seems to be to bring to the rear
the main bodies Of their forces
and apply the torch to towns and
villages, military installations and
peasants shacks in the areas they
are aha ndonino
No Determined Resistance.
Nowhere since July IS have the
Germans attempted a determined
resistance and sent in sufficient
reserves even to try and change
the fortune of war.
There is no question in the
minds Of American military OBJ
servers that on more than one
occasion have the Germans been
given the opportunity to counter
attack successfully.
Since there are no indications
that the German troops are suf-
ficiently war weary to abandon
the fight-their actions in Italy
amply prove this-it is assumed
that the general staff must have
definite plan as to how to use the
327 divisions the Reich is said
still to possess to meet the mill
tary situations which are bound
to develop between now and next
spring.
Berlin is fully aware that the
main general assault of the
Allies against the Nazi fortress
will occur only after the winter
Is over and weather conditions
permit fighting on a large scale.
The next few weeks will reveal
their plans. In the meantime,
the Allied strategists are watch
ing and warning again against
undue optimism based on i'm
portant but no decisive successes
in Italy.
