have been dispatched to Crete
and Sicily.
Concentration of British
forces in Syria, which has been
reported from Berlin, would in
dicate that the British intend to
attack the Dodecanese Islands in
order to secure their position in
the Eastern Mediterranean and
at the same time control the
entrance to the Dardanelles.
Egypt also Is being reported by
the Nazis as an important center
Of concentration of naval ves-
sells, planes and troops. The as
sumption is that the Allies might
attempt to invade Greece at
about the same time the opera
tions against Sicily and Sardinia
are undertaken.
Seek Synchronization.
The delay in starting opera
tions against Sicily Is believed by
military commentators to be due
to the desire Of the Allies to
synchronize their attacks on
both sides Of the Mediterranean.
This delay, Of course, has given
the Germans sufficient time to
send air and military reinforce
ments to the areas which Gen.
Eisenhower Is believed to have
chosen as the immediate inva-
sion targets.
Soon after the fall of Tunisia
the Nazis were reported to have
had only small force in Sicily
one division at most. Since
that time, however, the Germans,
yielding to Mussolini's cries for
help and the assurance given to
Berlin by the Gestapo men that
the Italians would fight II prop
erly supported, have sent more
troops to Sicily, so that by now
at least two full SIS divisions are
believed to be there.
According to reports, there are
between four and five Italian
divisions stationed in Sicily.
More fighter planes also are
reported to have been sent from
the Reich to Sicilian and nearby
Italian airdromes. Until these
planes are wiped out, or their
bases destroyed, the air opera
tions in that area will continue
to be more difficult and costly
than in the earlier days of the
Mediterranean campaign.

cepted as true In Washington

The Great Come Of Politics
Voice Against Waste Of Public Money
Grows Stronger on Copitol Hill

some limit somewhere, sometime;
otherwise, a collapse will occur.
Realizing that any suggestion to
reduce expense is likely to bring
charges Of hsmpering the war, he
still asserted that mo matter what
the Army and Navy say, we are
going to have to reduce or else we
will not have sufIicient manpower
and raw materials to maintain even
minimum economy on the home
front.
"You can lose the war through
inadequate manpower to maintain
domestic economy. There is no
more certain way of sapping mo-
rale at home than unnecessary
waste and extravaganza"
Coming from Senator George,
whose wisdom and moderation are
generally recognized, this sort of
statement ought to have weight.
Equally important is the warning
of Senator Byrd of the indefensible,
uncontrolled and monstrous growth
of the Federal bureaucracy.
There are now, he points out, up
ward Of 5000 900 civilian Federal en-
ployes. as compared to 100000 In the
last war. In the last war there was
one civilian employe to five soldiers;
now the ratio is one to two and one
half soldiers. Fifty-five per cent of
the present civilian employees are not
directly engaged In the war effort.
Also. Senator Byrd says that the
Federal Government now has more
persons on the payroll than all 4s
States, plus all the county and mu-
nicipal governments.
Pay Roll Grows Steadily.
All these figures, of course, are
exclusive Of Army and Navy, and
the point made by Senator Byrd Is
that the numbers increase all the
time.
Both he and Senator George think
the time has come to call a halt.
And, Of course, 1t has. But, with the
war on and the President, deaf since
1888 to any argument for spending
control or to reduce Government
employees, the difficulty is to get ac-
ton in the direction they point.
1t is true that Senator Byrd,s COM
mittee has made some progress.
Congress has weeded out several
useless agencies and curtailed others.
But every case has been fought
fiercely by the administration. In q
number 1t has succeeded in having
the cut appropriations restored.
And, always, 1t adds to the payroll
far faster than Congress can cut it
down. This will continue until the
facts finally seep into the minds of
the millions Of new taxpayers.
Once these get the idea that all of
the money deducted from their pay
envelopes after July 1 is not going
for real war purposes but that some
OF 1t is being wasted on and by use
less Federal jobholders-once they
get that idea, there will be a popu-
lar sentiment for retrenchment such
as has not been seen before.

terial, human and otherwise, we
shall have for the task.
Short, Terrible War Urged.
The enemy wants long, weary
war. We want a short, terrible
war. For to be short 1t must be
terrible. Let us make it as ter
rible as we can.
Therefore this is no time to sit
back and be SNUG about the sue
cesses we already have won or
the rising tide of our war produc-
ton or the obvious dif1iculties OF
the enemy as he turns from Of
fense to defense.
He is on the defensive because
we have forced him to it. We
have forced him to 1t in order
that we might destroy him, not
in order that we might congratu-
late ourselves on our achieve
ments. Let us, therefore, be
about the business of destroying
the enemy in as short order as
may be.
There is, perhaps. useful
analogy in the familiar game of
football. When team has been
compelled to use up his reserve
early in the game, when 1t has
made brilliant dashes which have
achieved nothing, when it is
tired and groggy 1t plays for time.
1t stalls for three downs and
then kicks. 1t has no more
punch, it's hope is to drag out
the game until the half comes
with its blessed respite, chance
to rest and recuperate, chance
to go In again and win.
No Time to Take 1t Easy.
That is no time for the oppos-
ing side to take it easy. If it does
that. 1t is playing its opponents
game. 1t must put in its re-
serves, it must hit hard and ever
harder, it must use up its last
ounce of energy to drive through
to a touchdown. It may never
have so favorable an opportunity
again.
Above all, the tiring team, the
team on the defensive, must not
be allowed a chance to recover
its energies. When it Is driven to
the defensive, it is ready to be
beaten; but it is not beaten, in
fact, until the ball has been car
ried across the line.
Germany is on the defensive.

a sense OF proportion with which the
war has been conducted from the
start in all matters save those of
military strategy. The wholeheart-
ed support which has been given to
every presidential demand for mon
ey and power ought TO have car
ried with 1t an obligation on the
part Of the Executive to maintain
some degree of control over their
use.
Apparently the President has felt
no such obligation. Certainly no
one wanted to stint him either as
to authority or funds In the prose-
cution Of the war. That was why
billions beyond the possibility Of
use were voted and everything he
asked conceded. But the people,
heavily taxed and vigorously ra-
toned. had right to expect that
war expenditures and governmental
expansion would not be allowed to
run wild. Yet, that is exactly what
they have been allowed to do.
Limit to Tolerance.
Actually, in these respects, things
are out Of control. Many have seen
1t coming, but there are reasons
the protests have not been stronger,
One Is that no one wants to be de-
nounced as hampering the war ef-
fort by attempting to reduce war
spending. The other Is because no
one wants to be accused Of not fully
supporting the President in every
needful war activity regardless of
cost.
Recognition that that limit has
been reached seems to have come
recently to many thoughtful men
who heretofore have been silent.
Despite the possibility of rebuke
from the unfortunate Elmer Davis,
whose thesis is that everything is
lovely and everybody ought to

| Problem of Poland
| Is Dilemma to
Policy Makers
BY BLAIR BOLLES,

LONDON.-Next to the unan-
swered question Of how TO deal with
Germany, the Polish dilemma is
about the most irksome confronting
makers of foreign policy in the
United States. al
The British government remains
unwilling to state precisely its poll
cies respecting the future face Of
Europe. Some influential persons
have definite opinions, but they re-
fuse to discuss them now for publ.
cation. I'd
Studies In mapmaking are con-
sidered useful now, although 1t Is
still impossible to tell when the
European phase of the war will end.
The attitude toward the future can
have grave political effect on the
continents contemporary reaction
toward wartime events. The cur
rent British government policy is
associated with the military prob
lem. The British government has
made great progress toward wiping
out internal dissension among anti
Axis fighting groups In Yugoslavia.
Quarrel Endless. z-
Though Yugoslavs In the govern.
ment in exile here continue an end
less quarrel among themselves, 1t is
hoped cooperation between the two
groups will 60 far to help Yugo-,
slavia toward postwar unity and
play a part in European stability.
The Yugoslav tumult In London
has been one Of the outstanding
headaches for administrators Of
British foreign policy. So
King Peter until recently was
surrounded by clique of Army OFF,
GERS who represented q violently
Serbian nationalist view. In their
absence, Peter has taken q firm
stand for the creation Of O. gov
ernment holding to the Yugoslav
idea of association of three nations
Serbs, Slovenes and Croats.
London is a city of continental
territorial intrigues. Some Hum
garian groups are making q strong
campaign to have sub-Carpathian

taken . defensive turn. The
Secretary Of War has just told
us that there are now definite
indications that the Germans
may abandon the idea OF an Of
fensive against Russia because
Of the necessity, forced on them
by our success In Africa, of
shifting troops to France and
other parts of Western and
Southern Europe. The painful
and even desperate nature of
these German decisions frequent
ly has been analyzed in these
articles, from one or another
point of view.
But the German situation
would be immensely eased, and
the decisions facing the German
staff would become less painful
and less desperate. II we Of the
United Nations, and particularly
We Americans, were now to allow
complacency and overconfidence
TO slow down our war Efforts
either in production or transpor-
tation or fighting.
More Sacrifice Asked.
This is no time for seh-con-
graduation; this is the time for
increased self-sacrifice. Such
sacrifices will be richly repaid. To
shorten this war by a single day
may mean the saving of hun
dreds or even thousands of
American lives. To shorten 1t by
a month or a year will be Of in
calculable benefit to our country
and to the world.
The harder we hit the enemy
now, while he is In dificulties,
the shorter the war will be. II he
is allowed to recover, even par
TALLY, the war will be longer and
more costly. And remember, the
sooner we have finished with
Germany, the sooner we and our
Allies can turn our united atten-
tion to Japan; the longer that
day Of reckoning is delayed, the
better Japan can prepare to meet
1t.
Let me, in this connection, re-
peat the words Of the able and
clear-thinking Chief Of STAFF of
the Army, Gen. George c. Mar
shall, speaking last Monday be-
sore the conference Of Governors:
We are just getting well start
ed. The great battles lie ahead.
We have yet to be proven in the
agony Of enduring heavy casual
ties, as we'll as the reverses which
are inevitable in war. - Fail
ure todav to surge forward with
every ounce Of power and effort
we possess would be to write a
tragic page for history.
The temptation to ease up
after initial and relatively minor
successes seems difiicult to resist.
The Axis nations probably count
on this as weak element of
Allied psychology. - The most
forbidding prospect with which
we can now confront the enemy
Is the continuation in full meas
ure Of methodical. ruthless prep
arations to overwhelm them"
We have made a good begin
ming, but it is only q beginning.
We've won no more than the
positions from which to launch
decisive attacks. The sooner
those attacks are launched, and
the deroer and more powerful
they are, the sooner We shall,
indeed, see the dawn of that
victory on which all our hopes
are set and all our future staked.

military quarters, 1t Is pointed
out by some political and dip
lomatic observers that the new
strategy OF the Reich should
convince the Russian general
staff that operations in the Med
iterranean already have had q
good effect on the Reich's over
all strategy.
These quarters, which in the
past have been guilty of judging
the military situation somewhat
superficially, now maintain that
the Russian clamor for a second
front is being answered.
AS soon as the main Allied Of
fensiye starts, the Nazi effort will
have to be intensified and, while
1t may not be necessary to draw
ground forces from the eastern
front, there Is no question that
Hitler, having to keep an eye on
his reserves in the Reich, will not
dare to open an offensive against
Russia when he may not be In q
position to replace his losses
there.
In these civilian circles, 1t is
further believed that a two
pronged offensive will tax the
German reserves to such a point
that a large-scale operation In
the east must be definitely dis
counted.
Military men in Washington
also are puzzled over the fact that
the Russian front Is quieter than
1t ever has been since Russo
German hostilities started in
1941, but they do not fully
share the optimistic view OF the
civilians.
Must Break Soviet Forces.
There is nothing in the mass
of information available to them
to indicate that the Nazis do not
have a SUFFICIENT force to protect
the southern portion of the Euro
pean fortress even If we conquer
ed the Mediterranean islands.
The available forces in Italy and
the Balkans, where at least 20
Bulgarian Hungarian divisions
have just arrived to replace
Italians ordered back to defend
Italy, seem convincing enough
to the German high command
that it has little to fear from the
Allies this summer or Fall.
In the meantime, the Germans
only chance for a negotiated
peace lies in their ability to break
the Soviet forces.
Exclusively from the military
point Of view, an attack against
Russia is a must" for the Nazi
high command. The only ele-
ment which might induce Hitler
to call of his war dogs in Russia
is a vague hope that the Russians
may not be willing to continue to
fight If the Allies fail to enter
the European fortress itself this
year.
Because of this conviction, the
Germans are making all possible
haste to frustrate the American
British forces in their effort to
obtain anything more than a
tactical success in occupying the
Mediterranean islands which, in
the opinion of the Germans, will
not satisfy the Soviet high COM
mand.
