Battle Hymn of China" by Agnes
Smedley (knOpf; S3.5O)

Up to this moment, Agnes Sned-
leys "Battle Hymn of China is
the finest job of reporting China to
the world I have read. The book
is very long, and the amount and
variety of the material it contains
is almost bewildering. But this is
no disadvantage when the trend of
the whole is easily grasped.
Miss Smedley's book is unified
and often ennobled by the fact
that through all it's course the
author sees China and her strug.
giles through the eyes of the under
dog. Possibly she comes as close
to understanding the tangle Of
Chinese politics as any Occidental:
she not only lived in China for IL
years of her recent career, but
She also fought for China. Four
years were spent with the nation
al and guerilla armies at the front.
she has done everything from at
tending banquets to burying the
DEAD, and although she spent much
time with the generals, she
spent much more with the troops
themselves. She froze with them,
caught their plentiful diseases,
tried to teach and to cure. Her
story is no Vincent Sheean Wagon.

The Literary Guidepost

Lit journey from one notable to
another. Miss Smedley's trips were
made on foot, slogging down the
rutty roads of China through Jap
anese held country where light
ed cigarette might, and often did,
mean death.
For me the most important thing
Battle Hymn of China" brought
was some understanding of the
tortuous course of Chang Kai-
shek. Now he is the symbol of
Chinese resistance to the western
world, but when Miss Smedley
first knew him, he was in China
the symbol of reaction and not
above ordering the national army,
so-called, to fire upon Chinese
communist armies and hold
their fire against the Japs. The
picture was very complicated only
a few years back and Miss Smed-
ley clarifies it remarkably well.
BY a strange adjustment, the
thousands of Chinese executed as
communists" whether they were
communists or not have been
justified. The Chinese armies de-
scended from the old so-called
red troops are proving, Miss
Smedley writes, the bulwark of
the Chinese nation. This is a book
that shows the real China under
very bright light.

mendously costly, although the Danish coast
offers one of the best points of invasion be-
cause the Germans have not fortified 1t as
heavily as other points and because of the
short distance en- route to Germany.
What effect the German policy toward Den
mark may have upon the schedules of invasion
drafted by the United Nations is not to be
foreseen, but with global victory to be won
it is hardly probable that any change can
be made in them at this time The Danes
would have been wiser to bide their time
more patiently, but that is a hard thing to
do with On enemy's guns at their backs and
enemy thieves stealing the food out of their
mouths.

Manpower Shortage May
Keep Householders Cold
Tank Truck Drivers Lacking
In Fuel Transport Companies

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - R -
Manpower shortages may do more
than fuel oil rationing to keep
householders cold this winter, the
Office of Defense Transportation
said today.
Local distributors of fuel oil
face serious shortages of tank
truck drivers and mechanics to
keep their trucks in shape, ODT
reported in urging all such dis
tributors to seek War Manpower
Commission designation as locally
needed industries at once.
1t is customary in the industry
for tank truck drivers and me-
chanics to seek other work in the
slack summer months, ODT Off
cials said. This year, many of
them went into war production
work, and "if cold weather finds
local deliverers unable to restaff
their fleets, cold homes will re-
suit
Designation of an industry as
locally needed" does not make
it's employees immune to the draft,
but does open the way for local
draft boards to defer such en-
ployes if it is decided their efforts
are important to the local war ef-
fort.

suffrage. two womens groups took occasion
to voice their differences of opinion on it.
Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman s
partv. sponsor of the amendment, declared:
For us in the United States, with the
tool of equal suffrage in our hands, the
end of the long and hard-fought struggle
for equality is already in sight. With
the passage of the Equal Rights Amend
ment, equality for women will become the
birthright of future generations.
A contrary view was voiced by Margaret
Wells president of the National League of
Women Voters, who said:
It makes an unnecessary and frivolous
demand upon the attention of members of
Congress at time when the fate of our
country and the world demands their at
tention. 1t proposes to clutter up the
Constitution with an unnecessary declara-
ton of doubtful meaning % years after
women have won equality with the rest of
the electorate. i. Any recognition women
wish to earn, they may now achieve
through their equal rights as citizens OF
the United States as provided in the 10Th
Amendment to the Constitution.
AS Adam learned in Eden that 1t doesn't
pay to argue with a woman, we suggest that
the women be permitted to settle this dis
pute among themselves and the issue be left
for announcement in the brave new world we
hope for later on.

FOR WARS CHILDREN

Upon our hearts, o Father of us

children suffering, homeless,
fatherless ones in Nazi-conquered
lands; and all VINO, in the United
Nations. are deprived Of the ter-

compassion upon them, so would
we bear them in dear remem-
brance and care. We bring to Thee
the boys and girls, who, by the ex-
igencies of war, are deprived of

new temptations and hardships.
Make soft our hearts within us
that we each may fulfill to the
utmost our duty toward these in
heritors Of a new world. Without

have fit men and women for to-
morrow, with its long hard taks of

Are the japanese, bred in the belief that

different from the common herd?
We can't answer, OF course, but it is note
worthy that the flight on New Georgia fol-

peal to farmers OF occupied
France to store food for the "dif-

lied invasion Of Europe was
broadcast today by Radio France
at Algiers.
An invasion would lead the Ger
mans to increase their demands
on France, and military operations
likely would prevent the Allies
from bringing food to the French
people for while, said the broad
cast recorded by U. S. govern
ment monitors.

Denmark's Plight

The Danish people, resentful of Germany's
easy invasion of their land and confiscation
Of their resources, have recently thrown off
their early restraint and engaged in sabotage
and open revolt which have cost many Ger.
mans and Danes their lives and DESTROYED
much property utilized by the Germans. In
retaliation, dispatches say that the Germans
have taken over and may even incarcerate
King Christian. Their purpose seems to be
TO set up Quisling government and deprive
the native population Of the few privileges
they have thus far enjoyed under the prod.
ding Of 10000 German troops ouartered in
their cities.
1t is not difficult to understand the emo.
tons that have led the Danes to revolt. but
1t is regretable that their patience gave out
so soon. Their defiance of the conouerors is
too precipitate. What it will cost them can
only be surmised But the price thev must
pay will be high.
Despite recent progress in the war against
the Axis, the German armies and the vicious
gestapo are still powerful. Denmark can
gain nothing through open opposition to eth.
er Communication with the outside world
has been severed, an indication that the Ger.
mans have no intention of letting the policy
they intend to pursue in the benighted little

l.
WASHINGTON. - You could al
most stand on the proposition that
man who has made success in
his business or profession takes a
$3.50 chance of being discredited
and publicly humiliated when he
accepts a responsible post at
Washington.
That is a terrible thing to say
But far worse than the saying OF
it is the sad fact that it is substan-
tally true.
Many names will come to your
mind. When Elmer Davis came to
Washington only year ago he
was one of the most respected OF
all radio commentators. He had
worked hard for years to win the
confidence of people in his integri-
ty, judgment and ability as an an
alyst of events. After having ach-
ieved notable success by a life
time of work, Mr.. Davis was draft
ed to become chief of OWL.
Now, a year later, Davis is
bruised, discouraged, held up to-
savage attack in Congress and in
the press. And his chief who
brought him here, gives him the
rough brushoff, and leaves him
standing alone and exposed to ev-
ery pOlitical brickbaL.
Doesn't Mr.. Roosevelt know that
he is the real target of these
brickbats? Yet men like Davis
must stand out in front and take
them - and with no protection,
no support, no thanks from the
chief they serve. You would not
find a better man to head Owl,
but that would never be suspected
from the treatment Davis re-
ceives.
Davis means nothing to me. But
he ought to mean something to
the government.
That is only handy illustration
of the careless and callous waste
of good brains and ability by this
Administration - far less excusa-
BILE than waste in dollars.
Where is the reputation of Will
liam S. Knudsen, who spent a
lifetime to achieve supreme sue
cess in automobile production? Or
of Donald Nelson, a crack business
executive? Or dozens of others you
could name who have been pulled
through the Washington knothole?
To turn to another type, the men
who hoped to make careers of pub
lie service, men like Leon Hen
derson and Milo Perkins. Both are
men of exceptional ability, excep-
tionally devoted to public service.
Both were kicked out as sacrificial
goats by the President for whom
they would have laid down their
lives. Wallace is. getting it, too.
In many countries, and in this
country in the past, it has been
considered an honor to work in
public office. One who worked
with reasonable ability and indus
try could at least feel that he was
serving usefully, and that he hold
respected place in the commu-
nifty. Now it seems as if all of the
dignity has gone out of public
service here.
No one familiar with politics ex-
poets democracies to be grateful.
That is not the trouble here. It is
not the public that is doing it. Sim
cere, Woodworking, loyal men here
are being knitted by men around
them, men above and below them,
men in the next office, men down
the hall, men they are sitting with
in conference every day.
There is the smell of decadence
over this place, and sitting mias-
ma of court intrigue. When name
is mentioned, does the big man in
the White House smile or frown?
Who is in the dog house this morn
ing? Dozens of able men wake up
every morning wondering where
they stand. In an administration
