A Thought for Today
The Battle of Germany

The battle of Germany has begun. For, the first time in our history Ameri- can forces are engaging the Germans on their own sacred soil'. It is a new chapter in history which has been repeating itself at an accelerated rate, with sons of the doughboys of the first AEF rolling almost unopposed over ground where their fathers fought and died to gain few yards. It is well for the world and for Germany that this is hap oening, It Is time that the German people saw and felt the scourge of war which their armies have loosed upon Europe twice In generation Perhaps if they had seen and felt 1t In 1918 this present war would not have come. But the German people did not see the breakup of their military machine on their very doorstep. Thus the Kaiser'S armies were able to Straggle home in Senblance of order, at least enough for Hitler to be able to put across his myth that the war had been lost at home, not in the field. World War l was lost In the field, and three months before the armistice. It was then that the general staff lost heart, went on the defensive, and urged the government to seek peace. Many military historians believe there was considerable fight left in the German army at the end But It's gen. eral staff preferred to quit and save the homeland from devastation.
 ACertainly the German military situa- ton was desperate, and no one can blame the Allies for ending the struggle The cost in lives had been frightful. Even those who saw that Germany needed a further lesson could not deny world that was weary and longed for peace. To- day Germany's situation is again perilous IN many waySlt Is worse than at this time inn 1918, when'the GermaIis were flghtirg on only one front and their allies were still in the war But Adolf Hitler Is not a Ludendorff or a Hindenburg. He knows that he is hated and doomed And con- silence has made him more desperate than cowardly Though the end may come quickly, 1t Is certain that If Hitler remains in power he will try to drag Ger. many down with him in bloody and lingering struggle. There will be tragic cost of American and Allied soldiers lives to be paid in the battle of Germany. But it is a sacrifice that must be made to erase from German minds the poisonous thought that they are invincible and inviolate.

We'll Placed Confidence

In timely and thought-provoking article appearing In a leading trade publication, noted utility authority points out that the power industry, by It's magnificent war effort, has won re- newed confidence and respect on the part of the public and in government circles as well. It now has an opportunity to :. capitalize these gains by unity of action and purpose to work for industrial peace and welfare in the post war years"
 This brief statement speaks volumes. Less than a decade ago, the power in- dustry had touched bottom in public esteem. It became a springboard from which public ownership minded politi- clans sought to plunge the country into state socialism. As the national ener- gency of war approached, these same pol iticians seized the opportunity to expand public ownership of electric power by endeavoring to show that a disastrous power shortage threatened momentarily. The electric industry proved the ur- soundness of such claims, and the con- petence of its leaders.
 The peak of electric power demand in this war has passed and there has been no electric power rationing or shortage, for which the country can thank the in- vestor-owned electric industry. From 1889 to 1943, It's increased output of elec- tric energy was three times that of the Federal power projects, which stepped up production 2l 300, 100000 kilowatt hours, as contrasted to 64,90o,000,000 for the business managed electric companies. During 1943, the latter generated more than 81 per cent of the total energy from oil plants contributing to the nations power supply. Little wonder that the public has renewed confidence in the private electric industry.

A RIDE FOR LIFE
tHartford Courant)

There have been more historic rides, perhaps, but none more pack ed with human drama than the ride of Pilot Ensign Donald c. Brandt of Cincinnati, Ohio, who saved his life in the Pacific by clutching the peri scope of @ submerged submarine and riding out to sea, with 1t. Un- able to surface because of Japanese shore batteries, the skipper of the pig-boat kept the submarine just far enough under the water for the periscope to remain above the sur- face.
 After the submarine had made three passes, Brandt in desperation grasped the periscope. and then be- gan one of the strangest rides ever recorded, Ploughing through tow- ering waves, half the time under water, the young Ensign held on desperately until after an hour of towing the submarine surfaced and took him aboard.
 It is trite to say that truth is stranger than fiction; but if any comic strip artist or imaginative screen writer should put his hero through such an experience, there would be many who would say, How preposterous." But there it is, and Ensign Brandt is back with the Marine Corps. ready no doubt to prove to the Japs that it really hap pened.

THE WARS STILL ON
(Hartford Courant)

(Hartford CouranD
 The frivolous and selfish who are already reported to be making res- ervations fo ra wild celebration of victory over Germany would do well at this time to examine their con- sciences. To be sure. the inevitable victory over the NaZis should give all of us a sense of thankfulness and gratitude. But that 1t should be cx- pressed by Dionysian revelry might well make the gorge of an even slightly sensitive person rise.
 Have these cheery souls heard, 1t may be wondered, that there is a war going on in the Pacific? Have they heard of Tarawa and Saipan? Do they know that their friends and neighbors, perhaps their close rela- tives, are fighting a desperate and bloody war against an unspeakable savage foe? Do they know that as the clock ticks each day and night, the blood of American youth is. be- ing spilled on the shores of a dbzen desolate islands in the Pacific?
 If they could, even for an instant. put themelves in the shoes Of a youngster who has been slugging 1t out in swamp and jungle for two or

,Tain,tFunnv

The stories of P c. Wodehouse the English humorist, were delightful within the limits of their set pattern. Ills Jeeves, the imperturbable gentlemanS gentle man. was gem of literary creation and justly famous. But, as we said, MT, WodehouSe's humor was limited.
 He stepped out from behind his char acters, after the Nazis caught him at his French villa In 1940 to broadcast to the home folks back in England. He used the German radio to tell them the lighter side of life in a concentration camp.
 Now, left high and dry in Paris, MT. Wodehouse says 1t was all terrible mistake" He has asked official petmis- sion to come back to England and explain.
 We doubt that the English will be much interested in the explanation of man who says i've never suffered dur ing the war and we had enough eat" We venture to guess that their attitude of our own radio comedians: "'Tain't might be summed up in the words of one funny, McGee'.

he Is available to take the place OF ex-Jlstice Jimmy Byrnes when Jimmy resigns, AS he expects to do when the demobilizatlon bills are passed.
 Furthermore, BOwles has support from . weird cOInblna. ton of forces - including the steel companies, Presidential adviser Judge Sam Rosenman, and some of the big textile, canning and grocery groups.
 This heterogeneous support may result fro mthe fact that Chester has just given Q SD0,000 price In. crease to the textile industry and contemplates more. Also he has permitted 0 new ceiling on canned goods under which many of them can be ungraded so as to sell at the top price.
 Finally, Bowles has promised the steel industry that, # the steel workers get c wage increase of more than three cents an hour, Vnekl HG WtAA BAft tkAv AAaN0Wy eAs increase in the price of steel. At the same time. he has intimated to the War abor Board that the wage increase for steel workers should be held down to only three cents m hour. AS Q result, grate- ful steel magnates have gone to elder statesman Bernard Baruch and urged him to promote Bowles for the war demobilizatlon job.
 No decision habseen made. Hut whoever gets the Job will have the power to affect the economic fife of the nation more than any one man In years.
 NOTE-If Bowles does get the job. Judge Marvin Jones, who has differed drasticaily with Chester, will resign as War Food Adminis- trator.

Speaking of lf-confidence. as anyone must who talks of accom- plishments. there is another source of strength and help as we try to master the mood of defeatisnl--the confidence others have in usI

George w. Norris

Its a question whether or not liberal ism paid in the case of George w. Norris of Nebraska. The veteran national legiS- lator, who died last Saturday afternoon at the age of 83 was his nations greatest liberal legislator. Twenty-Five years ago The Democrat would never have admit ted this And neither would hundreds of other newspapers throughout this land, nor millions of Americans. The George w. Norris of World War I and the man of later years were more understandable.
 sYet with all his contributions to Amer ican legislation ex-Senator Norris was spurned by the voters of the state which he had represented so admirably for forty-odd years. He was defeated for reelection in 1922, just thirty years after his first election to the Senate. During those thirty years he had won renown for himself as l. one of six senators to oppose the declaration of war in 1917; 2, father of the IVA Tennessee Valley Authority and saviour of Muscle Shoals; 3, author of the ''lame-duck" amendment to the Constitution; 4, vigorous opponent of all special legislation.
 Here in Connecticut we should have fond regard for Senator Norris. He came of Connecticut stock Although he was born in Ohio his father was Connecti- cut Yankee. His mother was of PennSyl- vania Dutch blood and early in life George found himself being brought up bv his widowed mother and ten sisters. He worked his way through school and secured law degree, but found the law business hard going and eked out an existence through teaching. When he finally settled down in Nebraska, though, his eloquence and his zeal enabled him to build up law practice and ulti- rlately to establish his legislative back ground with experience in Nebraska.
 From the time he enered Congress his ffeht was for the common man. He en- tered Washington, Republican, but as his career opened into full bloom he turned away from the party and was the senates last independent with definite New Deal tendencies, although he prob ably opposed as many Rooseveltian meas ufss as he favored. It's doubtful fl he got o0sr his defeat two years ago. He nad esnked 10 retire from public life. but vas

more years, 1t may be ventured that riDtous celebrations of the European victory would be out, and determin- ation to finish the job would be pare amount in their minds. Good reaG- ing 1t would make. wouldn't 1t, for this youngster, wracked by malaria and jungle fever, tired and desper- ateIy sick of the stench of death. to read that the folks back home are celebrating because "the war is over"
 The war. that is the global war, won't be over probably for another year. The European theater is only one aspect of this overall conflict To relax now, to let down, merely because the end of Nazi Germany can be seen, is a stab in the back to the hundreds of thousands of American youngsters who are light ing their hearts out for us in the Pacific.

The Presidents lb.year old grandson, CuniS Dall, Jr,, was q guest at the luncheon from which dustayo Moreno was barred. Not since the Dolly dann-Aliee Long. worth social fued as to who should sit where Ut dinner, has anything so ruffled Washington diplomats.
 Blame for the social eiVor has been taken by fortnight Chief Of Protocol George Summerlin, who for years has efficiently handed the not easy task of making sure that visiting potentates are prop erly entertained. Actually, a State Department underling made the initial error, but summerlin says that he should have re- versed him.
 About an hour before the White House luncheon, U. s. ambassa- dor to Cuba SpruIlle Braden tele. phoned the State Department to point out that Senator duStavo Moreno had been left off the guest list.
 "He is one of the most lnl- pOrtant figures fin Cuba" AIns baSsador Braden urged. He will be the next Minister of Public Works"
 "The seating has all been aE- ranged" was the State Depart. Inent's reply. "'Pa' Watson would never stand for . change at the last minute" General "Pa" Watson, military aide to FDR, Is the beagle-eyed watch dog over everything in the White House these daysJ
 So the new Minister of Pulp, lie Works was left out. Next day he was so irked that, when the guests were about to sit down at the state dinner given by Cor. dell Hull for President-elect Grau San Martin, one place was vacant. Senator Gustavo Moreno would not come.
 So next day MT. Hull called on the President-ele and his new Minister of Public Works to eX- tend his apologies.
 NOTE: Tn 1044, eleven years af- ter he was first made President of Cuba by a revolt, pr. Grau now is to be inaugurated again. Dur- ing the first year of the Roose- welt Administration, the United States forced President Machado out, but did not expect Grau to come in. When Grau jumped the gun and took office by revolution, he was not permitted to stay there. Now, after Il years of patient waiting, he will be in- augurated Oct. 1.
 BUNGLED COP SPEECHES
 COP Congressmen are boiling mad at Republican headquarters in New York for bungling recent COP speeches. They have sent some friendly but pointed advice to Herbert Brownell and Governor Dewey to revise their speech writing procedure, get some new ghostwriters or something.
 Four different speeches have now been released to the press by Dewey's headquarters in New Yc1S before they were read and revised by the men who were to deliver them. The speeches were those of Cover
 nOrs Warren of California, Baldwin of Connecticut, Green of Illinois, and Rep. Dirksen of Illinois.
 Republican Congressmen have sent word to Dewey that. for years, they have been harping on one- man dictatorship in the White House. and they don't want this turned round and used against them. MT. Brownell's headquar- ters, they say privately, has now played right into the hands of the Democrats, who can, claim that Dewey doesn't even want the gov- ernors of states to write their own speeches.
