the strategy that Field Marshal

leapt to the national craftsmanship.
Just to give you a little of the

about a gathering held recently in
the Mayfiower Hotel (which also
houses the Democratic headquar-
ters) just q few blocks down Con-
necticut avenue from the old resi-

This gathering was the occasion
of the retirement Of Charley Michel

as Number One publicity man for
the Democratic committee by tall
and personable Paul Porter. who
said he felt as if somebody had put
him down in Carnegie Hall, handed
him Kriesler's violin. and said:

That was a pat remark. We all
know Charley Nicholson. We all
know Porter, who has been around
Washington In one important job or

as hard for anyone but its possessor

IDEAL SPRING weather a,

IDEAL SPRING weather and
= packed churches marked Easter
Sunday in all communities. There
seemed to be a deeper conscious
ness Of the significance of the day.
There was the usual display of
finery, particularly in feminine
hats. There were the usual Eas-
ter parades in the large cities.
There was a bit more automobile
traffic than on an ordinary Sun
day. But there was something
else, something indicating a re-
turn to the old-fashioned, honey,
neighborly observance of Easter.
Families tarried outside churches
after services to chat while with
other families. There were ex-
changes Of information about loved
ones away from home. The usual
hustle and hustle to get into the
family car and dash off somewhere
was noticeably absent. People
took time to exchange pleasantries
with other people. Folks seemed
to really enjoy the unhurried COM
panionship of others.
Easter had the aspect of a home
town reunion, in addition to the
remarkable religious observance Of
the day as evidenced by overflow
attendance in every church Of
every denomination.
The strain of war has had a
sobering effect upon the American
people. Restraints imposed by the
necessities Of the struggle in which
we are engaged have made US
more appreciative of the things In
which we fight. We are re-discov-
ering the blessings which we for
merly took for granted and
scarcely noticed.
Yes, there was a revival of the
old-fashioned, American home
town way of life on Easter Sun
day. Our people have become
aware that they have much to be
thankful for. Even the war has a
silver lining.

Optimism In Wall Street

OFFERINGS to the public of
~ new corporate securities in the
first two months of 1914 eaxceeded
1919 millions, which gave Wall
Streets underwriting trade the
second best January February
period since 1887. The figure is
particularly significant because
the Fourth War Loan drive pra-
tically halted private financing
from January IS to February 10.
Much more significant is the
optimism Of corporate executives
concerning the post war outlook as
reflected by expansion in preferred
and common stock financing. In
vestment bankers in the two
months offered publicly well over
$50, 100000 Of stock in both large
and small concerns.
Exercise of stockholders Of
rights to subscribe to new shares
brought the grand total to over
$50 millions a new high for jan
uary February stock financing
since 1887.
Growing popularity of stocks as
a financing medium is backed by
many reasons. Issuance Of stock
broadens the invested capital base
of a concern and in times as these,
with high earnings and taxes,
makes possible savings which sub
stantially reduce financing costs.
Market conditions have been so
favorable lately that the cost Of
securing capital through preferred
stock issues is low by comparison
with recent years.
But what is most important is
the discernible fact that most cor
porations want to be ready TO go
ahead on their own when the war
is over, even though government
aid for reconversion is expected.

Difficult Job Confronts
New Democratic Leaders
Chairman Hannegan, PubIicist Porter, Must
Rebuild Party Machine; Answer COP
Attacks on Bureaucracy.
By BAUKHAGE
Netcs analyst and Commentator.

Nobody will have chance to do
the job that Charley Nicholson did
for us from 1922 on until the elec-
ton of FDR. The trouble is the
Republicans are in position to use
his theme song adapted, Of course.
to suit their needs.
They have already started to do
to the administration just what
Nicholson did to Hoover. They have
started to attack the war agencies
and all Of the administration depart
ments and activities, exposing ev-
cry blunder, playing up failures and
trying to show that everything the
people think are burdens and annoy.
ances can be traced directly to the
administration.
''And you know this wise old
veteran added. what you write and
say about how bad the other guy is
makes a lot better reading than
what you say about how good you
think YOU are"
That is one obstacle Cha. ffn an
Hannegan is up against although the
real responsibility falls on the s. ,oul-
ders Of Michelson's successor, Paul
Porter, and they are broad Shout
ders with a very good newspaper
head between them. II
But flanagan has another, :. xee,
problem. It is a job for a master
mechanic. It is repair Job on the
Democratic machine which is
euphemistically designated in the
language of party politics as the 'or-
ganization.
Broken Machine
Hannegan is a young. energetic,
open-faced Irishman, and it Is a good
thing he is young and energetic and
optimistic because he has had to
start his job of organization at
scratch. Anyone at Democratic
headquarters will admit that.
The reason is revealed in this SIM
pie chronology:
Jim Farley took over a pretty
well running machine built up by
Raskob. Farley did a splendid job
of keeping it spinning until 1896. It
was a Observation-Disclosures
for-President machine that far.
Then Farley got other ideas-one,
that two terms was enough for
Roosevelt, and the other was that
the next term. it would be Farley.
The machine changed to a one.
man dog which. for four years.
would only come when its master
spoke and its master was Farley
After the historic split. it fell apart
except as the states kept their seq
ments intact.
So all Mr.. Hannegan has to do is
to put it together again II he can
find all the parts.
That is the first job as far as the
Democratic offensive goes.

AS to the a.. ney feel they
already have pretty clear picture
of the Republican war plans as re-
vealed in activities to date.
They point to the campaign that
won the Republicans another seat
in the House of Representatives
from the first Congressional district
of Colorado. The Democratic candi-
date was young war hero. His
Republican opponent was business
man. He had a very simple line
of attack. He hammered bureauc-
racy, he placed the present ills Of
the community squarely on the head
of the administration-gas rationing,

damning the administrators adj
ministering-has been revealed in
congress too. The fight over the
OPA is current example. Minority
Leader Joe Martin announced at the
beginning that nobody wanted to do
away with price regulation but that
present regulation must be inn
proved. What the Democrats expect
is that the Republicans will drag
out the hearings as long as possible,
parade what they call "a chamber
Of horrors" before the people, at
tempting to associate all the irrita-
tons, limitations and restrictions
which are annoying the public, on
the administration.
There are other obstacles which
are product Of the time which the
Democrats have to meet. They are
realistic about them.
One is the fourth term, of course.
That may partially be Offset by the
don't change horses in the middle
of a stream" argument which is
counted upon to influence a great
number Of people who think it might
be disastrous to shift leadership,
whether you like it or not, while
the war is going on.
Another situation which the Demo-
Gratis face and about which there is
't'le or nothing to do is the great
grafton of voters who have failed
to establish residence in their new
homes or who are in the armed
forces and will not be able to vote.
AS one Democrat put it to me: I'VE
know we are going to suffer more
than the Republicans from this
change Of residence business. It
isn't the man and woman who lives
in a Park Avenue penthouse who
moves to San Diego to work In an
airplane plant: it is the hill billy
who has voted Democratic all his
life who moves to war boom town
and forgets to register"
Campaign Weapons
And" he added, lit is the soldier
son of families which have been re-
electing Roosevelt who isn't going
to get his ballot in from Kwajalein
atoll or Middlesex-on-sticks. Wangle-
shire. Hereford, England"
Here are two main dishes the
Democrats probably will offer the
voter!
The first, l have already men,
toned. Don't change horses
The second can be encompassed in
one wordsworth You can call it
security. or any other name that
smells as sweet. But the Democrats
count on the fact that the average
American fears another depression,
or at least temporary unemploy.
ment when the boys come home.
The argumentis. They (the Demo
crats) did it before. they can do it
again the Republicans brought
you panic. the New Deal got you
through it."
Circumstances alter the best laid
plans of mice, men and national
committees. but that seems to be
what they are shouting at along
Connecticut avenue today.

Gen. Arnold Says Japanese
Will Break Under Raids

LOS ANGELES, Dec. II.
(UP) = General Henry H.
Arnold, head of the army
air forces, believes that con-
tinued bombing of Japan
will pay even greater divid-
ends than bombing of Ger
many, for Japan lacks the
facilities to repair bombed
installations that Germany
has had.
The air chief left Tuesday morn
ing for Yuma, Arizona, and Ft.
Worth, Texas, after a whirlwind in
spection of Los Angeles aircraft
plants to give manufacturers COR
rect estimate on how the air war
was going.
At a press conference late Mon

moe Tuesday after savage assault
that carried away the southern
flank of the Yamashita line and
wiped out a strong Japanese force
pocketed below the port.
A communique from Gen. Doug
las MacArthur's headquarters re-
vealed that the bulk of the enemy
garrison, considerably reduced from
last weeks estimated 10000 to So
900 men, has been herded into a
single pocket extending from a point
Just above Ormoc to the Tolibaw
area, 18 miles farther north.
Thousands of crack Japanese
troops, caught between the two
forces, were killed or captured in
the final thrust and only a hand
full was believed to have escaped
Into the hills in the interior.
MacArthur's communique deScrib-
ed the battle for Ormoc as "of the
most desperate character" and re-
vealed that the japanese died al
most to the last man in defense of
the vital supply port.
Buwowed into cellars and fox
holes under the houses, the Japan
ese had to be dug out and killed
in small groups, and late dispatch
