From the Providence journal.
That the United States will not be
able to help feed the rest of the world
after this war as 1t did after the 1918
armistice, as War Food Administrator
Marvin Jones says. is significant not
alone from the food standpoint. It is q
fact that denotes our inability to keep
our agricultural production in step with
our industrial growth. The scale on
which we have created the implements
of war has been a revelation to most
Americans as well as to foreigners Nor
have we Jagged in producing foodstufis.
But the rate of increased industrial out
put has greatly exceeded the rise in
agricultural production. . Yet the
fact that America cannot meet world
demand for food in any degree COM
parable to a quarter of century ago
does not mean that 1t will not do all 1t
can to alleviate human hunger in war
torn areas. Such aid will consist not
only Of such shipments Of certain kinds
Of food as 1t can spare from its own
resources, but also of participation in
joint planning efforts Of the United
Nations to mobilize food in Australia,
Canada. Argentina and elsewhere to
feed millions of haf-starved peoples
as they are liberated from Axis control.

LOYAL Americans

Two groups of Americans. thou
sands of miles apart, have given
expression within the past week to
their respective concepts of loyalty.
In Detroit, some 1000 workers
engaged in the manufacture of am
phibious tanks are on strike. They
are demanding that the labor re-
lations director in their plant resign
or be discharged by the manage
ment. The strikers, after three
days of idleness, have asked the
labor relations director whether he
is willing to help our boys in
France" by submitting his resigna-
ton. If he will quit, they say, the
men will return to work The di-
rector has not resigned, however,
and the strikers. growing impatient,
have sent a telegram advancing the
contention that the director, by
refusing to quit, is keeping 1000
loyal Americans from doing a job"
Two days before this strike, ten
American bombers we're flying high
over the western tip of New Guinea.
The flight leader spotted six Jap
anese destroyers and a cruiser on
the water below and gave the signal
to attack. AS they went down, the
leader radioed: My wingman and
I will hit the destroyer and cruiser
on the left flank and divert their
fire. Pick your targets" And then,
a moment later, he was heard for
the last time, saying; so long,
boys. I'm taking the big one"
When it was over four of the de-
stroyers had been sunk and a fifth
was left smoking and helpless in
the sea. The flight leader and his
wingman, their planes shot to pieces
by the fire they had diverted to
themselves, plunged to their deaths
in the Pacific.
This flight leader and his wing
man probably never actually talked
about their loyalty, but they, too,
were loyal Americans. They had
job to do, and they did it.

desire to keep down present enemies,
once they are defeated. If Germany and
Japan are to be the only cement, let
us keep them menacing-as the only
promise of peaceful unity in the rest of
the world! Otherwise it is childish to
assume that one or two decades hence
the German or japanese past menace
will be the chief concern of the great
powers.
Germany was able to rearm not be-
cause the Reich, even 10 years ago,
was strong and the Allies weak. France,
Britain and Russia without the United
States, were quite strong enough to
deal with Germany. But previous Allies
had hoped to balance their power
against each other by means of Ger
many. 81,
Thus, the last war was hardly over
when, In 1922, Russia signed the Treaty
of Rapallo with Germany and from
then until Hitler came to power col
laborated closely even with the Reichs-
wehr
After Hitler the governments of Britain
and France made concessions to an
anti-Communist" Germany that they
had never made to the republic.

them the Franco Russian The Little
Entente, which was an alliance for the
specific and limited" purpose of pro-
tecting the succession states from re-
vival of Austrian and Hungarian power
collapsed utterly. The Anschluss and
the disintegration of Czechoslovakia,
essential for a German war, were not
opposed but assisted by France and
Britain.
These are the dreary facts as Is the
fact that under Mr.. Lippmann's pro-
posal there is no guarantee that 10
years after the war "peace-loving" ma
tions and wicked aggressors" will fly
the same flag as today. Nor is there
any certainty that Europe will forever
regard Germany as the chief menace
to her security and progress.
Either the world will be organized
under universal self-created law binding
on all and enforced by mutually created
instruments or it will again base its
peace on precarious alliances and bal
ances, dubious treaties and egotistic
national interests.

We are carrying the fight to the
enemy on all fronts.
This message contained in the Allied
communique on Thursday morning is
perhaps the best possible summary of
the situation in France.
The Allied break through in the di-
rection of Villers-Bocage did not have
enough power behind it to drive east
ward across the German supply lines
to Caen, as seemed possible at the time
Yesterdays article was written. The
Germans counterattacked and have ap-
parently recaptured Villers- -Bocage. But
the very fact that they had to do SO
diminishes the forces of their thrusts
northward in the Caen-Troarn area.
The fact is that while we may not be
strong enough as yet to undertake deci-
sive offenSves which can carry through,
we are strong enough to keep rocking
the Germans off balance We compel
them to scatter their shots" We keep
punching holes in their defensive sys-
tenn which they have to plug up, and
as fast as one hole is plugged we make
another.
The same thing seems to be true on
the Cherbourg Peninsula, where we are
striking out to isolate the port of Cher
bourg. The Germans fought hard to
retake Montebourg; the status OF the
town is uncertain at the moment. But
American troops have pushed forward
on both sides of Montebourg, and have
taken Quineville on the east coast of
the peninsula. Farther south, the Ger
man attempt to retake Carentan has
proved failure.
Finally, there are some signs of in
creasing patrol activity southwest of
the Forest of Cerisy, in the direction of
st. Lo.
To sum up the situation in France:
1t is still a race, as CHS Correspondent
Bill Downs put 1t Wednesday night in
the first broadcast from the beachhead,
between the supply services of the two
armies. The Germans are trying to get
superior striking forces into the fight
ing zone before we can build up really
strong offensive that can jab forward
into the road centers Of Caen and st. Lo,
thus providing adequate cover for our
