ly against early peace reports, anc

Axis propaganda" His designa-
ton of them as such was due tc
the fact that most of the printed
rumors have come from neutral
European capitals in touch witt
Germany.
This is all orthodox administra-
ton line grounded in the theory
that the workers will let down IN
expectation of an early peace. The
line long since has reached its
limit of effectiveness, and the the
Dry merely represents mishand-
ling of administration propaganda.
The government on one hand is
telling the Axis nations they twill
be crushed" and breathing fire of
expected victory in its foreign
propaganda while, on the home
front, trying to maintain an atti-
tude that it will be long, tough
war. To present both ways strains
the popular vision until it becomes
cross-eyed.
The truth is, some officials here

countering obstacles in his effort
to attain American unity for per-
manent postwar foreign policy,
and, strangely enough, not pri-
marily from the Republicans.
A large segment of New Deal
politicos do not want unity, al
though, naturally, they will not
say so. AS they see it, the post
war policies which will be devel-
oped from the Moscow and Cairo
arrangements are likely to furnish
the most popular front that the
administration can present to the
public in the next elections-at
least, it will be better than allow
ing the people to look too much at
the home front.
In short, they think their best
chance of election is to let the Re-
publicans take a partisan stand
against them.
But there is evidence that other
internationalist group leaders and
writer's are leaning away from
their old Zone World" or Anglo
Russo American exclusive alliance
theories as cure-alls in themselves
and working toward a centrist
realistic peace proposal based on
self interest in whatever form.
A straw in this wind is the SEEM
ing change in the leading common
tators' tones. One who took a
strong alliance position is now adj
vocating what he recently called
a peace based on "an enlightened
conception of enduring national
| interest"

still hold to the long-war theory
Germany in the spring, Japan
in 18 months). But a majority of
congress, am sure, does not.
Those who believe in an early
end are not inspired by Axis prop
uganda, but by expert judgment
or advice as to Germany's lasting
ability. Indeed, the Axis propa-
ganda from Berlin is just the OPP
posite of this and holds Germany
will never collapse.
Why does not the administration
use these facts to its own best adj
vantage and adopt a propaganda
line recently suggested in this spot:
Every day this war is extended
means the life of some boy, per-
haps your boy, the waste of more
money. Therefore, it is to your
own selfish interest as a worker on
the home front to throw every last
ounce of energy into this final
drive for victory in order that the
casualty list be not extended one
day more than necessary"

Additional Proof
On New Deal Slip

The Republican election victory
in the normally Democratic heart
of Kentucky, the fourth congress
ionaI district, forecasts the final
breakup of the Happy Chandler
machine. He lives in an adjoining
county, and the Democratic can
didate was his selectee. Whatever
excuses, therefore, could be Of
fered for the loss of the state in
the earlier gubernatorial election
on the ground the Chandler fac
tons did not go along sufficiently,
were not true in the fourth district.
The election also was a conclus-
i've response to some readers Of
this column who misinterpreted
my analysis of the gubernatorial
election as partisan Republican
propaganda.
This election result certainly
verifies the conclusion then ex-
pressed that the Democrats had
failed to win under the best pos
Slble auspices IN state normally
Democratic, and that the failure
was due to the encouragement of
the people with the New Deal and
its regulations and domestic re-
suits, a condition which cast into
grave doubts Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
election in 1914.
The margin of Republican vic
tory this time in the district was
around $4,000 votes, compared
with Democratic victories by a
margin of $4,000 in 1910, 10000 in
1898, and $1,000 in 1936-repre-
senting a turnover of $4,000 votes
in 10000 cast.

Coal Mine Stoppage
Threatens Republic S
Steel eIProduction
20 Per Cent Decline
Feared by Middle
Of Coming Week
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, May 1.-Republic
Steel Corp. said today its pig iron
output would be reduced 20 per cent
by the middle of next week if the
coal mine work stoppage continues.
One blast furnace at Youngstown
and another at Buffalo will be shut
down this week end unless mining
operations are resumed, the COM
pany declared. The two furnaces
have a combined capacity of $4,000
tons per month.
A third blast furnace of 10000
tons monthly capacity would be
down at Birmingham by the end of
next week, Republic asserted. In q
prepared statement, the company
added:
with all of Republics steel out
put headed for war purposes, the
threatened cut in pig iron produc-
ton would Immediately cause drop
in production of 100000 tons of steel
per month and seriously handicap
the Nations war efforts.
Republic has been building up
coal reserves, but the reserve stocks
many on temporary sidings-can-
not be handled by the facilAies
which were designed for direct ship
ments from the mines at a 100 per
cent of operation.
The work stoppage by members of
District so, United Mine Workers,
has shut down Republics four strip
mines in Western Pennsylvania.

Europe Reported Facing
Better Wheat Outlook
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May In a review
OF the world wheat situation, the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics of
Canada said today that Europe
seems to have better hard wheat
crop prospects at the present time
than the North American Continent,
reversing the situation of last year
"The critical period still lies ahead,
however, and weather conditions
over the next three months will be
the determining factor in the ulti-
mate result" the bureau said. 1t
added:
"A mild winter in Europe was
followed by an early spring and
the crops of winter wheat appear
to have suffered a minimum OF
winter damage. It is doubtful, how
ever, If a full acreage was sown last
fall, and this means continuance Of
favorable conditions not only TO,
winter wheat but for the spring
sown crops If the acute shortages
| OF bread grain are to be remedied
this year
The peoples of Europe over the
past two years have had the staff
of life rationed out to them in eve,
diminishing amounts.
The position in North America is
safeguarded to some extent by the
existing stock piles of old wheat but
the rate of disappearance in the
United States in the light of present
prospects for the new winter wheat
crop is such as to suggest a very
considerable reduction in the carry
over year or so from now"

Cotton Mills Booked Fully
Until July and Later
BY the Associated Press.

1
NEW YORK, May 1.-Cotton tex
tile mills this week rested on their
current heavy backlog of orders
which were booked fully to July and
some through September.
There were scattered sales of
oSnaburgs and sheetings, but large
| inquiry from the civilian trade was
untitled.
Mills were reluctant to accept
business beyond September because
of uncertainties over ceilings, wage
questions and renegotiation of con-
tracts.
The Army released contracts on
1857 500 linear yards of cotton pad
ding, 100000 yards of 5-ounce
wind-resistant and water-repellent
olive-drab poplin and 2,771 ,594 her.
ringbone twill caps.
Woolen goods moved in satisfac-
tory volume. Trade quarters felt the
rate should expand after awards
on recent bids for large quantities
of cloth for the Government, but
they foresaW less demand from the
armed forces than during the past
season.
The Army will receive bids on
May 10 for 27,0OO,000 pairs of olive
drab light Woolen socks and awards
were made for 13,557,O00 yards Of
olive-drab worsted cloth by the
Army against bids submitted on
total inquiry for 34,834, ,186 yards.
The rayon goods market was quiet,
but the Army asked for offers on
1,950,000 yards of olive-drab A.
ounce rayon tWills,
