were the seeds of revolt against the
administration in that State, the
election surely would have found
them sprouting. But it Is difficult
to associate even the substantial
vote piled up by his four opponents
with anything like a swelling tide
Of opposition to Senator Pepper or
to his party. In Alabama, Senator
Hills victory was more impressive.
Nothing has happened in those two
States to make one believe that the
President would have any difficulty
in carrying them next fall. The
weight Of encouragement to the ad-
ministration from the Florida and
Alabama results can be judged by
the realization Of what a defeat for
Senator Pepper, or a substantial
setback for Senator Hill, would have
meant. That would have indicated
plainly a restless dissatisfaction and
desire for change by Southern DEM
ocrats, Of which the primary results
offer little, If any, evidence today.

Doubts Postwar Prosperity


To the Editor Of The Star:
Eric A. Johnston, president Of the
United States Chamber of Commerce. in
common with other business and politi-
cal leaders is declaring that business,
labor and agriculture, under favorable
Government policies, can provide an
expanding economy assuring a high
level of postwar employment.
That Zine" seems to imply strongly
that it was exclusively an unfavorable
Government policy that kept employ
ment down before the war started
In view of the fact that the depression
started during conservative Repub-
lican and continued during a so-called
more progressive Democratic admins
tration, it would seem these gentlemen
should be more specific.
Just how and why can we expect more
from free enterprise after the war than
we got, before the war? Or is business
indulging in wishful thinking, mean
while hedging with qualification which
will permit blaming Government for any
failure to provide employment after
peace comes.
So far in our history, expansion" of
industry has been tied In closely with
heavy increases in the total public or
private debt. Singularly unconvincing is
the oft-repeated statement, I'VE can
pay of our war debts If we can keep
up production and employment" That
amounts to saying we can pay off debts
If we are able to increase them.
Let's hear the specific answer.

An Essential Bill

One OF the most important phases
OF rehabilitation will be taken care
Of If the House acts favorably on the
bill just passed by the Senate to
provide for the termination of war
contracts. Originally worked out in
agreement with the Baruch advisory
unit and recommended some time
ago by Senator Georges Special
Senate Committee on Postwar Eco
nomic Policy and Planning, the
measure would establish an orderly
and expeditions procedure to guar
antee that industries currently en-
gagged in military production will
not lack working capital for speedy
reconversion when their Army and
Navy orders are Cancelled. Stated
simply, its primary objective would
be to soften the unemployment po-
tential as much as possible by en-
abling employers to get back to
peacetime output as fast as possible.
This potential is unquestionably
serious. Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines,
director of the Retaining and Re-
employment Administration, is not
exaggerating things when he says
that probably 2O,0oO,OOO Americans
will have to change their work at
the end of hostilities, and that the
problem involved, if not properly
handled, can lead to social and
economic chaos. His statement,
submitted yesterday to the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, covers
all phases of rehabilitation but it
is particularly applicable to contract
termination, since the latter bears
directly upon industry's capacity to
reconvert speedily and maintain q
high level Of Jobs.

Timing Blows at Nazis
By Maj. George FieIdins Eliot

The long lull in the fighting on the
Russian front can hardly endure mueh
longer. Already the Germans have re-
ported renewal of Marshal Konevs
attack southwark between the Prut and
the Carpathians, against the so-called
Iasi bolt" position. But this position
has probably served its purpose by this
time: the German 9Th and 9th armies
should be safe behind tho Notifications
Of the Focsani- -Galatz Gap, and q Ger
man withdrawal from the remainder Of
Moldavia would not be surprising.
It is impossible to doubt that when q
big Russian offensive comes, it will be
co-ordinated with Allied efforts In West
ern Europe. From that point of view,
Konev's advance is Of little consequence.
1t will not attract to the Russian front
any additional German reserves, or hold
there any troops which are not neces-
urally strong sector.
Should 1t be carried beyond the
Focsani- -Galatz positions, should it burst
into the Wallachian Plain, then it
would be more serious for the Germans;
but even so, If Germany were engaged
in a desperate struggle in the West, 1t

greater Importance, OF course, If it came
in conjunction with an invasion OF the
Balkans from the Mediterranean, which
Is always possibility.
Similar reasoning applies to the
northern and central portions of the
Russian front. There the Germans still
hold Russian territory in considerable
depth, which they can exchange for
time by a gradual withdrawal to bring
their front in line with the southern
front. Nothing very much could happen
for the next few weeks from the Gulf
OF Finland to the Pripet Marshes which
would compel the Germans to make
sacrifices in the West in order to avoid
worse fate in the East.
The really crucial sector of the eastern
front is still the line between the
Pripet Marshes and the Carpathian
Mountains the sector of el-Brody-
Stanislawow, covering the approaches to
Lwow. 1t Is here that Russian Of
fensive would impose a really crucial
decision upon the German high COM
mand. The Germans can afford, in
order to win a victory in the West, to
get out of the Baltic States and White
Russia; they might even, at pinch, let
Romania and Bulgaria go; but they
could not afford to have great Russian
army burst through the gap between the
Pripet and the Carpathians and de-
bouch into the plains Of southern Po-
land with no natural position between
the Russians and the German frontier.
1t is, therefore, major offensive in
this sector that We must expect; and
1t does not seem likely that 1t will be

The need for speed cannot be
emphasized too much, for after the
bill becomes law, an additional three
or four months will be required to
set up the machinery necessary for
its operation. It is by no means too
early to start putting that machin-
cry into motion right now. To real
ize this, we have only to imagine
what would happen to a vast num-
Der of contracts-and to our en-
ployment structure If the Nazis
should suddenly collapse in the
summer or fall without our having
made any prior provision to meet
such a situation.

long delayed, for the Russians now have
had time to reconstruct their railway
lines, to bring forward fresh troops and
supplies. to build up depots, and to re-
group their forces.
It still remains to be seen whether the
Germans will be strong enough to try
to upset the Russian plans BY striking
f1rst, q method dear to the heart Of the
German strategist. OF course, We can
hardly imagine full-scale German Of
fensive effort being made now on the
eastern front, but the Germans may
have enough divisions for q counter
offensive OF limited objective, intended
to throw the Russian plans temporarily
out OF gear and thus to upset the time
Russians and the western Allies.
The Russian offensive will not neces-
sarily be made on the same day that
the invasion Of Western Europe begins.
The two operations will be SO timed
as to be OF the greatest possible as
sistance to each other, and to impose
upon the German high command the
most painful decisions.
Obviously, the ideal moment for in
vasion is the moment OF maximum
German strain in the east, and Just
as obviously the moment for a Russian
attack In the East is when the Ger
mans are battling for their lives in the
West. But the ideal is not always at
tainable in war: and the actual timing
OF the two attacks must be carefully
worked out by stats which know the
location nf I;,,;,
can calculate roughly the enemyis capa-
bilities in either direction for several
days or even weeks ahead, and. which
can thus come to conclusions as to a
course Of action which will ultimately
bring about state Of affairs in which
the enemy will be unable to defend
himself successfully on both fronts for
lack Of means.
We must always remember that the
Germans are heavily outnumbered by
the total Anglo-American-Ru Russian
forces assembled against them. Their
only hope is to achieve local superiority
at the decisive point by clever and
timely use OF their excellent system of
roads and railways. The way to deprive
them of that chance is to keep up con-
tinuous pressure on both fronts, so that
they cannot shift forces from one to
the other without Immediately feeling
the consequences at the weakened point
The beginning Of the Russian offensive
in the East and the beginning Of the
Anglo-American invasion In the West
will be the first moves in this great
process Of crushing Germany between
the upper and the neither millstones.

Better Than None

TO the extent that it will lessen.
labor turnover in critical manpower
areas, the so-called 4-F bill intro
duced by Senator's Brewster and
Bailey is certainly better than no
such legislation at all, but we should
have no illusions about lit Is a
diluted substitute for a general
national service act.
The bill has three main features:
First, under it, any draft registrant
from 1S to Is could be Immediately
classified as available for military
service If he left an essential Job
without permission; second, de-
ferred or physically disqualified reg
istrants not in essential work could
be ordered by selective service to
enter such work, and third, in cases
where they refuse to heed work
directives, any Of these registrants
could be inducted into special Army
and Navy service units In which
the character Of their labor would
be subject to military orders.
The measure has been indorsed by
Undersecretary Of War Patterson,
Undersecretary of the Navy Bard
and General Hershey, director of
selective service. But these officials,
who are intimately Acquainted with
the manpower problem and frankly
worried about 1t, still believe that
service act like the Austin-Wads
worth bill is necessary. They are
for this substitute chiefly because it
seems to be about the only one
Congress is in a mood to consider
at this time. Even one Of its
Senator Brewster-ac-
knowledges its many limitations, but
he Is pushing it because he feels, in
his own words, that sometimes a
half is better than no loaf
at ALL"
In other words, even though it is
generally recognized in responsible
quarters that much more sweeping
legislation is needed to control labor
turnover and meet shortages in
critical war industries, Congress as
a whole and the public at large
seem unaware of the true dimensions
OF the problem and are therefore
opposed to coping with it adequately.
So the most we can expect is such a
makeshift as the 4-F bill, which in
cidentally tends to stigmatize phys
ically disqualified draft registrants
and is otherwise discriminatory. In
fact, even this measure, though it is
bound to be of some help If passed,
may have rough shedding in Con-
gress. All in all, the picture is dis
couraging. We shall be fortunate
country indeed If, after our failure
to do the right thing with manpower,
a real home-front crisis does not
confront us one of these days at q
crucial moment in the war.
