Consensus Of Senate
Sees German Defeat
In AZ, Japan S Later:
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Members of Congress generally
expect the war in Europe to end in
p smashing victory for the United
Nations in 1914, but fear the fight
against Japan will last into 1945 and
possibly until 1947.
A check Of a representative cross
section Of Senators disclosed yester-
day that majority believes Ger
many will collapse before many
months if an Allied invasion of the
continent is added soon to the
weighty blows now being delivered
against the Nazi armies by the
Russians.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, member of the Military At
fairs Committee, told a reporter he
believed few persons realize what a
tough fight lies ahead before Japan
can be conquered.
Warns on Japan's Strength.
Senator Thomas, who spent years
in Japan as a missionary, said he
had predicted at Geneva in 1887
that the world would be plunged
into 10-year war if Hitler, Mus
solini and the Japanese were not
curbed. He now believes it will take
until 1947 to break the japanese
Empire.
Chairman Connally of the For
eign Relations Committee predicted
that the European conflict would be
over late next summer" and that
another year would be required to
clean up the Pacific.
Senator White, Republican, of
Maine said the United Nations ought
to prepare for the worst and hope
for the BEST" the best being an end
to the European struggle this year.
None of those questioned pro-
fessed to have any except general
knowledge on which to base guess
as to the time of peace.
Others Express Views.
Some other views were:
Senator Reed, Republican, of
Kansas: at looks as though Gen.
Eisenhower is hurrying up the prep
arations for an invasion SO as to
take advantage of the Russians
smash against the Germans. If
the invasion gets going soon the
war might end suddenly and surely
by next fall"
Senator Danaher, Republican,
Commits sheer speculation on my
part, but ] think we will be at war
for at least two more years"
Senator Nye, Republican, North
Dakota-"By the end of 1914 I'm
afraid we are going to have lot of
war left on our hands"
Senator Ball, Republican, Mime
sota-"I think it will be over in Eu-
rope by next June and it will take
us a year more to whip the Japs. "
Senator Burton, Republican, Ohio
II would guess July as the date
when the Germans would be beaten,
with a year more required to defeat
Japan"

Jap Mandates 10 Go

Service Paper Says

By the Associated Press.
The Army and Navy Journal says
that Allied leaders at the Cairo and
Teheran conference agreed that the
United States should get the jap

Pacific after the war.
These are the strategic former
German colonies of the Mariannas,
Marshalls and Caroline Islands,
awarded to Japan by the League of
Nations under mandate. She has
transformed some of the islands into
heavily fortified bases.
The Cairo meeting of President
Roosevelt, Generalissimo Chang

the islands, but the communicate

White House UNIFORMED.
There has been speculation that
either the United States would take
over the outposts or that they would
be placed under some form of in

State Department and White
House sources said they had no in
formation on the report.
The Journal, unofficial service
publication, said the conferences
took up the matter of bases with
the aim of preventing Germany
and Japan from ever again engag-

added:
whether these bases will be indie

a national base shall be available
to the forces of the Allied nations.
and how payment shall be made

U. s. Control Favored.
''There was no doubt that China

United States to establish a base on

There also was discussed the
matter of bases to control Germany.

questions of troops that should &C.

suits occassioned by the entire affair.
 There is no doubt but what Q perfect understanding and delight was born of this "argument" between Irishmen, who, while arguing, were in perfect accord concerning the principle of the issue (the Irish people wanted the money, as who wouldn't, and Mrs. Shaw and husband wanted them to have it) but who insisted for reasons of Irish intellectual pride in approaching the principle by different routes Any Irishman can savor of such a situation.
 Too, any IriShman can understand the delights of retaining ones independence of spirit while successfully negotiating the receipt of bequest amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollarS-and from lady, at that.
 The writer also suggested that by "Stroking" the Irish the right way Mrs. Shaw might have avoided the difficulty encountered Such suggestion is further indicative of the writer's ignorance of the average IriShman, who simply cannot be Stroked This would seem to be a case of house-cat suggesting that someone stroke tiger, simply because the tiger bears physical resemblance to the house cat.
 It is sad to realize that there are peo- pie devoid of the knowledge of the Irish mans viewpoint of life. We feel that such lack is born of regrettable clan r.ishness which permits of no outside warmth entering it's stark walls A thous- and facets of the brightness of the Irish love for life emanate constantly from con- tact with it, such as the story told us re- gently by friend of ours, of Polish ex- traction, with name of unquestionable Polish connotation, who told us that al- though his son, bearing the same name, has been in Ireland but three weeks with the American forces he is already for warding mail home signed with an 70" apostrophe before his surname.

A Thought for Today
Fear For The Future

A strange new kind of fear has beSet this country, Bernard De Voto points out in the current Harper'S Magazine. It is, he says, the fear of peace and of the tu- ture. And no one who ventures into the company of his fellow men these days can easily deny this assertion. It is pain fully evident that most of us are afflicted with an assortment of pessimsims de- cidedly at odds with our courageous faith and determination that we shall win the war. Mir De Voto divides our fears into three groups: economic, social, and a special "fear of the returning veterans" He does not concern himself with our un- certain qualmS about postwar relations with other countries. He sets down the symptoms of our domestic anxiety with out attempting much diagnosis. But he is disquietingly right about the symp- toms. We may, he contends, lose the peace at home from failure to trust our own strength.
 Americans have always had an abund- ant faith in their ability to lick anything. But perhaps we have remembered the binge of prosperity and hangover of de- preSsion after the last war that left us flabby for this one. Perhaps we subcon- sciously fear worse binge and hangover AlCAI LlIklGs Ouk SOGAel4 4CdLo dlC cAENVAASL and, we believe, more serious matter AL most any days conversations bring crop of gloomy predictions: we shall have ra- ciaI trouble after the war; we shall be dominated by racial minorities; labor is going to dominate the economic picture; all labor's gains are going to be choked off. Such fears feed our economic anxi- ety by paralyzing constructive effort while they nourish class resentment
 NGr De Voto'S "fear of the returning veterans" may likely be an admission of failure in doing our utmost to back them up. now. The armed forces have been pictured as an averaging band that will take over and punish the slack and self iSh civilians for whom they suffered and fought. Most of us have heard all these fears, and uttered some of them. They add up to grave problem that cannot be dis missed lightly or settled easily. But there is one beginning to a solution. Loose talk can be as dangerous in the coming peace as it is now. These paralyzing fears grow only with repetition. They can subside only if enough people refuse to believe, repeat and embellish them. It won't be easy, and 1t can only be done with conscious effort. We are stuffed with prejudiceS. But we have ample evi- dence in our past history, and in our cur- rent plans for the future, to quiet our fears. And We can stop telling ghost sto- ries.

Political Harmony

If someone hadn't borrowed the office copy of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, We could probably give you, verbatim, the deathless remark of the man who didn't care who wrote the nations laws so long as he could write the nations songs. But maybe we don't need Bartlett, after all, for the quotation is beginning to sound little dated Present political trends seem to indicate that there is no need for de- ciding between song and statute. If you pick your spots and play your cards right, you can have both.
 Take Jimmie Davis, who won the Demo cratic nomination for governor of Loui- Siana. Except for the token resistance Of a Republican candidate in November, Jimmie is in. And how did he get there? By 8 campaign that included much hill- billy music and little oratory, and that as homespun as the music.
 Jimmie, as you probably know, is a composer with many corn-fed opus to his credit. His muse has ranged from that oom-pah love lyric called "You Are My Sunshine" to rather more earthy madrigal titled Bed Bug Blues"
 Another rustic troubadour with poli- tical possibilities is Roy Acuff, whose friends are urging him to run for gover- nor of Tennessee. For the handful of esthetes who never heard of Roy, he's on the Grand Ole Opry broadcast from Nash vile every Saturday night. And the coun- trywide audience of faithful who would rather miss the Saturday bath than the Saturday broadcast can be counted III the millions.
 Then there was Senator w. Lee, O'Dan- iel, who sailed into the Texas governors mansion on wings of song, conveyed by fiddle, a git-tar and jug bass. Ills "Pass the Biscuits, Pappy" became as fa- nous culinary campaign slogan as Mr. Hoover's 1.-two chickens in every pot"- and decidedly more successful.
 Musicians in government are not new, of course. Nero gave fabled perform ance during the big fire of GA A. D. Henry VIII was a composer; so was Frederick the Great, and flute player besides. But the nasal minstrelsy of the hill-billy strikes different note. Music has changed from a pastime to potent vote-getter.
 And what makes it potent? Well, for one thing, 1t speaks to Mir. Wallace's con- mon man in a language that he knows Any candidate can campaign in denim shirt, and loudly proclaim himself man of the people. That's old stuff. But II political aspirant can give out with wa bash Cannonball" or "Pistol Packin' Mani- ma" in the approved manner, he becomes as one with the rural electorate.
 There are probably other reasons, too, and we should advise the string-pullerS of our major parties to look into them carefully. The Republicans, for instance, have in Thomas E. Dewey a man who originally came east from Owosso, Mich, not to be governor of New York, but to study singing. If they succeed in nomin, ating the reluctant baritone. they should insist that he brush up on his rustic re- pertory. Who knows, hoe-down may prove to be as persuasive as 1ireSioe chat.

Once There Were Two Irishmen

We wonder how person can become SO Stagnantly objective in viewpoint as has a local writer whose recent editorial on "Blarney is the ready currency of the Irish" was so utterly devoid of any real istic understanding of the Irish and the Irish-American. Perhaps the writer was attempting an imitation of Bernard Shaw, but If such be the case he proved to have stepped out of his class.
 The particular piece of writing per tained to the recent bequest of some few hundred thousand dollars left by the late Mrs. Bernard Shaw to the Irish people for furtherance of their cultural knoWl- edge. The Irish people supposedly bit terly resented the suggestion of the need for such furtherance of cultivation and at the time refused the bequest. The writer of the editorial contended that Mrs. Shaw should have included little "blarney" along with the money and then the Irish people would have accepted 1t with praise for the donor and with no resentment. For as the writer infers the Irish look upon themselves, as he points out, as Natures noblemen, less in need of improvement than any other people on the face of the earth, who, nonetheless, the writer ayers are not beneath accept Ing a few hundred thousands Tor thelr own use.
 We dismiss this reference to Irish "blar- ney" as significant, in this instance, of the writer's ignorance of such matters and connotive particularly of the narrow scope of his knowledge of the Irish and Irish affairs; said knowledge seemingly limited to ancient vaudeville acts of the now defunct Keith's circuit and to the lone reading of a 25 cent copy of 1000 of The Best Irish Jokes For The Banquet Speaker.
 The Irish, by nature, are subtle race and we are certain that their reception af- forded Mrs. Shaw's bequeSt was wrapped In all the subtle wit of the Irish aature, lust as we are certain that the terms of the be1uest were wrapped in all the subtle Irish wit of Mrs. Shaw's husband, Der. nard. We are certain also that Bernard and the people of Ireland were and are in mutual accord as to the delightful re-
