nels for return to the war effort.
The number of items and the vol.
ume of this battle scrap and salvage
are increasing by such proportions
that the army has found it practical
to establish segregation yard at
a port of embarkation. The rapidly
increasing salvage tonnage is being
poured into this yard for proper dis
tribution under the guidance Of Of
ficers with proper experience in the
scrap and salvage industry.

The Darlar Question

Another source of bitter contro-
versy which has been allowed to
tester was cleared up at the same
time. Certain groups in England
and America from the very begin
ming violently objected to the choice
of Darlan as the man with whom
the Allies dealt in North Africa.
There have been two revelations on
that score which, had they come
earlier, might have cleared the air.
One concerns the Russian attitude
and the Russians certainly ought
to lean as far to the left as anyone.
It now seems that the Soviet lead
ers, frankly opposed to Darlan and
all he stood for, actually accepted
the British and American policy on
the basis Of an old Russian saying
that in matters Of military strategy
or comparable situations-it is
sometimes necessary to deal with
the devil and his grandmother.
A word from the chief of staff re-
vealed in his annual report to the
secretary Of war is interesting in
this connection. He says of the dip
lomatic preparation before the in
vasion of Africa: Should an ap-
proach be made to single French
man who proved unsympathetic to
our purpose, we risked the slaughter
of our soldiers on the beaches of
North Africa as well as decisive
losses to our shipping unexpect-
edly, Admiral Jean Darlan, Petain's
designated successor, and command
er-in-chief of all French forces,
was found to be in Algiers visiting
his sick son when our forces landed.
He was taken into protective custo-
dy and when it was found that
French leaders stood loyal to the
Vichy government, a series of con-

TICKLING THE TYPEWRITER

Want suitable border for the let
tiers you write to men in the serv-
ice? Make row of little soldiers
with your typewriter across the top
of each page. Here's how you make
each little soldier. First make a
small 90" for the soldiers head;
then just beneath it a capital 20"
for his body. A capital ''W" just
beneath the large 90" makes his
legs; and capital "X'' in the middle
of the capital 20" looks like cross
straps. A diagonal line Cd makes
gun on his shoulder. Simple as XYZ.
isn't it? Cute, too.
SCRAP HAPPY-Cut the designs
out of any odds and ends of printed
cotton materials. Flowers and lit.
tie figures are especially effective
Then paste one at the top of each
page of stationery.

Australian Soldiers at Homefront or
Abroad Get General Election Ballots

There has already been an cleo
ton in Sicily.
Australian airmen, serving with
the Allied air forces in Sicily, voted
in the Australian general election.
So that all Australians in the fighting
services and the merchant navy
should have opportunity to vote, spe-
cial ballot papers had been prepared
for distribution in the United King
dom, Canada, the United States,
North Africa, and the West Indies,
along the jungle fronts of New
Guinea and the Solomons, and 9TH
er areas overseas in which Aus
tralians are serving.
Voting for civilians is compulsory,
with a minimum fine of about So for
failure to vote. One of the last legis-
lative acts of the old parliament
was to extend the vote, normally
restricted to persons 81 and over,
to all servicemen who have served
or are serving overseas.
Eight hundred and twenty thou
sand Australians are under arms in
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1943-09-23

Australia and abroad-a figure rep
resenting more than 81 per cent of
the 100000 male voters: Lists of
candidates-there are 346 for rs
house of representatives seats, and
70 for 10 senate seats-were cab1ed
to command headquarters wherever
Australians are serving. Lists of
candidates, showing their celebrates
and parties, were posted at each
command headquarters to assist
voters in casting their ballots.
Special officers were sent to each
command headquarters to advise
commanding officers, and to answer
questions raised by the trainees,
most of whom had never voted be-
fore.
Australian servicemen in San
Francisco, Washington and New
York voted through the office of the
Australian high commissioner in
Ottawa.
In Australia itself all forms of
transport, from camels to planes, are
being used to gather the votes.

Misunderstanding news reports of
Ruth Mitchell's recent adventures in
wartime Jugoslavia reminded me of
Louis Adamic's book of some sea-

I have been dipping into it again
recently found some enchant-
ing bits about life in the Slovenian
part of Jugoslavia. Describing a
visit to his uncle's home, he writes:
"Over 200 years old, it had been
freshly whitewashed early that
spring. In the kitchen, which was
also the vestibule-that being the ar
rangement in most peasant houses

grunted about, and young hen,
suddenly terrified, flew between my
legs out of the door, but in spite of
these animals everything was very
clean"

Tripdrtite Picture Clearer
Since Meeting in Quebec
U. S., England, Russia Agreed on Funda-
mental Policies; Observers Optimistic
Concerning War, Postwar Cooperation.
By BAUKHAGE
Ne1Os analyst and Con,mento,or

1erences Immediately followed with
the purpose Of calling halt to the
french resistance against General
Patton's task force in the vicinity of
Casablanca."
The Background
Then. on the morning of Novem-
Der II, the Germans invaded France
and Darlan obligingly rejected the
pseudo-independent Vichy govern
ment and assumed authority in
North Africa
JUST what pressure or argument
was used in getting Darlan to yield
to Allied wishes has never been re-
vealed or what his motives NAV
have been-they may indeed have
been prompted by the devil or his
grandmother-but those who knew
the inside military expediency, did
not quarrel with his action. Death
took Darlan from the picture. 1t
old not end the arguments, but since
we know now that the head of the
communist state of Russia was able
to swallow Darlan, the squeamish-
ness Of some of the critics seems q
little far fetched.
I talked with Secretary Hull about
that time. Whatever his feelings
may be regarding communism, he
indicated from his remarks to me
that Russia was looking sympathet-
ical1y on the attempts at joint
conference, and a few days later,
high British source stated fatty
there was no great divergence of
views
Agreement
Both were thoroughly agreed on
the necessity of the destruction of
Nazi tyranny and Prussian mill
tarism, and it was revealed that
Marshal Stain was rising in pres
tige with the army and that the So

Wet army was rising In prestige with
the Russian people until It was al.
ready on level with the communist
party itself. This seemed to indi-
cate, as Captain Rickenbacker said
when he returned from Russia, that
the ideologies of the policies and
the capitalist nations were growing
nearer.
Meanwhile, the position Of Secre-
tary Hull, within the administration,
has been greatly strengthened as
one after another, he has taken over
the functions Of all agencies which
have any dealings whatsoever with
foreign countries. He has placed
the question frankly before the Pres
ident who had to choose between
his secretary Of state and those who
opposed him inside and outside of the
state department.
HulPs Position
Secretary Hulrs position is this:
the policies which I have sponsored
and insisted upon have justified
themselves. Either my department
must have full authority in the field
of foreign relations or I will hand in
my portfolio.
The President faces, first, a con-
gress which has had time to think
over its position, has heard the COM
plants and received the advice of
its constituents. It returns deter
mined to imprint its will on national
policy, foreign and domestic. It's
texture is and has been for some
time strongly away from the So
called new-deal policies, strongly
toward the conservative side. Sec
rotary Hull probably stands higher,
has more friends, and can exert
more influence with congress than
any member of the cabinet. The
President needs congress which
will stand behind him if he is to
carry out the plans for further con-
duct of the war and the winning of
the peace according to methods he
believes it is necessary to employ.
And, of course, there is the fourth
term ahead, for continuance in Of
fee is essential, the Presidents
friends believe, if he is to mold the
postwar world.
Secretary Hull is his anchor to
windward. This is due to his polit-
ical influence and also because he
and what he symbolizes both at
home and abroad, have become in
extricably bound up in world nego-
tiations.
And for the President, there is but
one objective now-that is, to be the
peacemaker as he was the war lead
er. All else-choice of counsellors,
domestic policies, must dovetan into
that purpose.

V0SAAuS tO1, Os W
The ink is now dry on the secret
footnotes which appear in the memo
randa officially recorded after the
long and quiet conversations which
took place in the presidential study
in the White House when the Allied
strategists worked out the end of
another chapter in the history of
World War II.
My own modest notations, scrib-
bled on the backs of envelopes, and
on scratch pads, and written in taxi
cabs, leaning against White House
elm after press and radio con-
ference, taken down while the Pres
ident or other officials were speak
ing, make clearer pattern.
Words and phrases take on new
meanings, rough sketches are filed
out in revealing detail.
The speculation, the criticism, the
attacks and the apologies which
swirled about the Allied policy
toward Russia, for instance, it is
plain now was built mostly on half
knowledge.
While press and public were cry
ing for tripartite meeting of the
representatives of Russia, Britain
and the United States, the arrange
ments for whole series of meetings
were already being made. It was
not until almost the end of the
Roosevelt-Churchill visit that we
learned, first, that the tripartite
meetings ION the foreign minister
leveP' had been definitely agreed
upon and, second, (Which no one
then guessed that a commission
was to be formed of representative
of all three powers to discuss the
situation arising out Of the Allied
victories in the Mediterranean in
which Russia is so deeply concerned
but which, nilitarily speaking, she
has been forced to view from a dis
lance. When we received that news,
we were unable to indicate its source.
