IF this were the last piece Of Ice in America,
food spoilage in the l 100000 homes which
depend upon Ice refrigeration would be stag

be seriously endangered. During 1943-de-
spite Unprecedented maritime demands-the

upon Ice for refrigeration and which last year
used record breaking 100000 tons of Ice,
would be practically empty of the fresh, vita
min-laden foods so vital to the health of our
entire nation.

IF this were the last piece of Ice in America,
the totally Unprecedented requirements of
nearly six hundred Army and Navy Canton
ments throughout the country would not be
met and they would be without this vital safe
guard TO their food supply. Actually they used
millions of tons more Ice in 1913 than in any
previous wsr year in the nations history.

A fantastic supposition, perhaps, in view of
the fact that the Ice Industry produced over
100000 tons of Ice last year to protect the
perishable food supply of the nation. But it is
interesting to contemplate what might hap
pen if the last piece of Ice we're melting away.

IF this were the last piece of Ice in America,
the total effect upon our daily life would actu-
ally be more immediate and catastrophe than
a similar curtailment of almost any other
American industry.
We are glad to assure you that there can be no
such catastrophe. An army of one hundred and
fifty thousand Ice men, operating $500 Ice
plants, practically all working ID hours day,
3o5 days in the year, will see to that. Last year
they produced the staggering total of more
than forty million tons of Ice-a modern rec
ord of which the Ice Industry is justly proud.

On the Record
BY Dorothy Thompson

1t Is announced that there will soon
be another Cairo or Teheran. this time
IN Washington. America, Russia and
Britain will meet to discuss the Euro
pean settlement and America, Britain
and China to discuss the Far Eastern
one.
The European conference, which is the
most urgent, will have to deal with the
settlement designed for Germany. At
Teheran there was no agreement on this
question. Since then, however, develop
.ments have occurred which make it pos
sible dirnly to discern the lineaments
OF the future peace.
In the east Germany will lose territory
to Poland. How much is probably not
settled and certainly not known. East
Prussia will certainly go either to Poland
or be divided between Poland and Russia.
In addition there is discussion in
volving the transfer to the Poles of all
German territory east of the River Oder
and Silesia. That includes Silesia and
most Of Pomerania, with the great Ger
man cities Of Breslau and Stettin.
When Gen. de Gaulle was here he
made a statement regarding French
claims on Germany. That included un-
limited ocupation Of the great industrial
areas OF the Rhineland and Ruhr, leav-
ing the ultimate fate of the Rhineland
IN suspension. Other demands NAV be
expected from the Netherlands and
Belgium.
The question OF the Kiel Canal and
SchlesWlg -Holstein is under discussion.
The Danes, who occupy unique posi-
ton, having made, apparently, an At
lantlc Charter for themselves. reject any
territorial acquisitions whatsoever
though they have historical claims since
as late as 1864 this territory belonged to
the Danish crown
The proposal made By Mr.. Roosevelt
at Teheran was to internationally this
territory, making it free state, and
the kiel Canal an international sea
highway. international control here
would obviously mean largely Russian
control, and give the Soviets an outlet
to the Atlantic.
1t is further proposed to put western
industrial Germany under international
authority"
There will still remain large German
state 1t has not yet been decided
whether this state will remain a unity
or be partitioned into four or five
separate successors to the Reich, such
as Franconla Bavaria and part of
Saxony), Middle Germany, Rhinelands,
Prussia (truncated), and Hansa.
1t will be divided, for occupation pur-
poses, between the victors. The original
plan was for occupation by Russian,
American and British Armies each in
its sphere. The new idea seems to be
that each of the big three can delegate

course, that we may read too much
significance into these events. But
there are certain facts which cannot
be denied-the reports OF dissen-
sion within the Nazi ranks from
German prisoners. Hitler's stubborn
insistence on holding ground when
military considerations dictate re-
treat, the rising pressure Of the Al
lied offensives on three fronts, the
terrible and relentless bombardment
Of the German homeland from the
air, and. finally, what must be the
growing certainty within the Reich
that defeat is inevitable.
Neither these things nor the at
tempt at assassination necessarily
mean that Hitler is at the end Of
his rope. But they are good reasons
for believing that he is close to the
beginning Of the end.
Evening star., 1944-07-21
Another Step Forward

The identical plank on votes for
the District adopted four years ago
by the Democratic National Conven-
tion has been reinserted in the plat
form approved yesterday in Chicago.
This year it went in with the sympa-
thetic approval of the drafting sub
committee, whereas four years ago
1t, required an action by the full
Committee on Resolutions, over
riding negative vote by its sub
committee, to give it recognition.
The reiteration of intent expressed
In the brief assertion that I'VE favor
the extension of the right of suffrage
to the people of the District of
Columbia" is another step forward.
The absence of controversy over
adopting this expression is another
hopeful sign. The spirit of the times
would have made its omission this
year a negation of the principles
reflected by other platform declara-
tions. We are reaching the point
now when denial to the people of
Washington of some of the funda-
mental rights for which this war is
being fought becomes so accusatory
and glaring contradiction that it
shameS us as a people.
But what does the platform plank
mean when it says I'VE favor the
extension of the right of suffrage to
the people of the District of Colum-
bia?" 1t can hardly mean taking
away from Congress the exclusive
control over the District, wisely pro-
vided in the Constitution, and con-
ferrlng it upon or awkwardly seeking
to divide it with the voters of a
municipality. 1t obviously must
mean the only sort of suffrage which
would give to Washingtonians their
genuine rights as voters under the
American system of government,
the rights Of representation and
participation in the Government
which taxes them, which sends them
to war and which makes possible
the periodic choice of a President
and Vice President.
The Districts able Democratic
delegates to Chicago made their
argument for that kind of suffrage,
Their recommended plank was
longer than the one adopted, but
more specific. 1t reads: I'VE favor
amending the Constitution SO as to
provide that there shall. be in Con-
gresS and among the electors of
President and Vice President mem
bers elected by the people of the
District constituting the seat of
Government of the United States"
That is the objective toward which
there should be united effort under
the spur of a reiterated pledge by
the Democratic party to bring
suffrage" to the people of the
District of Columbia.
Evening star., 1944-07-21

tive preparations were made ut least 10
months ahead.
Requirements for the losses suffered
in early heavy hghting were provided
for. 1t was estimated that the maximum
loss-a very liberal fgure-could not be
exceeded under any circumstances and
the troops and the war material were
kept in readiness to be rushed across
the Channel as soon as possible. There
is no guess work about sending these re-
placements. We have such a large feet
OF transports. barges and otker sea-
going vessels that the replacements are
leaving the British shores at the hour
decided many months ago.
-
OF course, the possibility of serious
setbacks was reckoned with when plans
for the invasion were drafted after many
months Of discussion among the experts.
When the spectacular news of q quick
stab resulting In the conquest of an
important railway junction or the much
expected news of the capture of an
important port reaches the public, those
in the war planning rooms merely reflect
that 1T is "A hours later than we ex-
pected," or "the enemy Is weakening.
since we took this place 50 many hours
earlier"
There is similar situation in the
enemys camp. The German generals
are fully aware of what their prospects
are. They reckon with possible mistakes
Of their opponents which would drasti-
cally change the situation and call for
an attack by reserves held in readiness
for other operations. They know the
tempo Of our landings and the number
of men each barge can pour on the
beaches of France. They also realize
that the capture of any important port
would dramatically reduce their chances
OF resistance and prepared their own
plans for the defense of the vital area
for about as long a time as they believe
we have prepared ours for the attack.
The main element of surprise for the
brains of the armies is the lack of
resistance or of driving power of the
combat units This has to deal with
human psychology and morale and no
individual can gauge these. But barring
these very important unknown factors
modern battles follow a pretty we'll cut
and dried pattern which is not obvious
to the outsider but is very clear to the
chief strategiStS
