NOW we have recipes so that every
one can be a good cook as long as
he follows directions.
Vegetables, to be perfection itself,
must be cooked to doneness with
just bit of crispiness left in them.
Pies must have a crust with faki-
ness that will melt in your mouth,
with creamy smooth filings or lus-
cious juicy berry filings.
Cakes are at their best with fluffy,
fine grain texture, well favored ic-
ings or frosting. Ice creams and
sherbets should be frozen So that
they are creamy and contain no ice
particles.

Several developments of the last few

One development was the unexpected
insistence by the President that the CIO

Constantine BrO1Vn

To students Of strategy there are only
two actions we can undertake In South
ern Italy at present-either open up an
all-out offensive to break the German
resistance and attain our objectives
before long or withdraw from the
Anzio-Nettuno beachhead and assume
a purely defensive position on our old
lines from Naples to Bari.
A continuation of the deadlock will
lead us nowhere. A war of attrition,
as we appear to be fighting in Italy
today, is likely to affect our major plans.
The major military purpose of the
German high command today revolves
around defense, whereas our purpose
revolves around offense. Neither Brit
ain nor the United States can fight a
war Of attrition.
We know the Nazis will concentrate
their efforts on thwarting the offensive
in the west. Under these circumstances
and in view Of the fact that the Amer
ican forces and supplies must be taken
to the front from across the Atlantic,
our military effort in italy may become
detrimental unless we can force a de-
cision there in the near future.
The chances that we will decide to
call of the Italian offensive and take
a defensive role are small The political
repercussions of an admission that we
opened campaign which proved un-
remunerative would be too great.
There is still good chance that the
Allies can compel the Germans to give
up their present defensive offensive
and it is hoped that the Italian CAM
paign will not prove as bad a gamble as
Gallipoli was in 1915 or Narvik was

countries the right of the honest con-
scientious objector Is recognized Such
as are of military age are interned in
camps and compelled to do nonmilitary
work, mostly on the land.
Recently they have demanded an in
crease in pocket money to a soldiers
pay. They leave out of account that
the soldier is risking his eyes, his limbs,
and his life for his principles, while
they are risking for their principles
absolutely nothing. Under these con-
ditions who has the stronger morality
and principles?
I have nothing but admiration for
those conscientious objectors in Britain
who, refusing to fight, volunteered to
exhume and remove unexploded time
bombs during the blitz These men
demonstrated their principles with their
lives.
Nevertheless, pacifism is a moral lux
ury granted to the few by the many
who live life as it is. The pacifist wants
to get to heaven before he dies, and
he lives in world of pretense. His
ultimate goal should be to convert his
fellow men, but his pacifsm prevents
him from defending even his fellow
pacif1sts in the only way they can be
defended.
The first thing Hitler did when he
became chancellor-a sure signal of
what he was up to-was to arrest every
active pacifist in Germany. Most of
them are now dead. Did German re-
publicans, pacifist as whole, resist? :?
No, they tolerated the destruction of
the democratic state rather than spill
a drop OF blood. BY their domestic
pacifism they paved the way for this
war;
And the international pacifists con-
fined themselves to futile petitions and
speeches. In the case of the persecu-
ton of pacifists, Jews, and democrats
OF all kinds, a persecution bloody and
ruthless, only decisive action could
have been effectiye-immediat eco
nomic sanctions, for instance But all
positive action involved the risk of
war, and in all democratic countries

The PetriIIo RuIino

1t is difficult to see wherein the
War Labor Board panel ruling in
the canned music" case is an i'm
portant setback to the long-range
plans of James c.. Petrillo, president
Of the American Federation of Mu-
Sicians
Mr.. Petrillo is attempting to collect
from all manufacturers a fee for
each record made, the money to be
turned over to the union for the
benefit of musicians who may be
unemployed in the future. In effect,
taking the most favorable view of
this proposal, it would compel the
record-buying public to finance
private unemployment fund within
Mr.. Petrillo's union. And at it's
worst, if the administration of such
a fund should fall into unscrupulous
hands, condition might easily de-
velop in which the money exacted
from the public would be nothing
more than private war chest for
the benefit of autocratic union
officials.
The WLB panel refused to approve
Mr.. Petrillo's plan and recommended
that the full board order him to
send his musicians back to work
for those companies that have been
on the Petrillo blacklist since Au-
gust, 1912. 1t also found that there
is not now any substantial unem-
ployment among musicians, and
held that the development of radio
and recordings probably had not
decreased employment of instru-
mentalists. To this extent the
ruling was setback for the man
who is the unquestioned czar of
the professional world of music.
There are two significant points
to be noted, however. First, there
is a suggestion in the panels Ian
guage that it's decision might have
been different if unemployment
attributable to radio and recordings
were widespread among musicians.
And, second, the panel said that
under proper safeguards" the pay
ment by an employer of unemploy-
ment fees directly to union would
not be opposed to social policy"
If the full board sustains the
panel, Mr.. Petrillo may be checked
for the duration of the war. But
there is no reason to suppose that
he will not renew his demand sue
cessfully when the war ends, al
ways assuming that the music
loving public remains indifferent or
perhaps willing to foot the bill for
him.

only been accepted by small minority
in any country. Even in Germany,
where this minority is strongest among
the nations of western civilization, the
Nazis are compelled to disclaim the guilt
of aggression.
The logic of this indisputable fact is
to create policy and program for secur-
ing permanent peace. But that involves
the acceptance of responsibility for the
maintenance of an international order
in which aggression already recognized
in the human conscience as a crime, be-
comes, in fact and in law, crime, with
the proper instruments Of force to
compel submission to law.
But this is not pacifism. Pacifsm is
an individual anticipation of world
society that does not exist. The pacifist
lives, like the rest of us, in this world.
But by rejecting equal moral respon-
sibility for its failures, he invests him.
self with a righteousness that he does
not deserve. He publicly washes his
hands of dirty business in the instinct,
not of saving society. but of saving his
own soul.
This act gives him a peculiar feeling
OF moral superiority over his fellows.

scientious objectors. In democratic

The Pucheu Trial

AS the first case Of its kind since
the establishment Of Quislingist
regimes in Nazi-occupied Europe,
the trial Of Pierre Pucheu by a
special French military tribunal in
Algiers, together with the death
sentence meted out, creates a pat
tern and precedent for all such
actions in the future At this dis
tance, Americans are in no position
to pass an informed or sound judg-
ment on the merits of the courts
findings. All we can be sure of is
that the former Vichy Minister of
Interior earned bad reputation for
himself during his term of Office,
that unless some higher tribunal or
General De Gaulle himself inter
venes, he will pay with his life for
it, and that, in any event, many
other F'renchmen from Laval on
down-including possibly even Mar
shall Petain-face the same sort of
punishment because of their close
collaboration with the Nazis.
It seems a reasonable expectation
that the procedure followed against
Pucheu will serve as model of sorts
for similar action almost certain to
be brought against the collabora-
zionist elements in other countries
overrun by Hitler. The Norwegian
government-in- exile, for example,
will surely get after Quisling and his
group in Norway just as soon as the
opportunity presents itself, assuming
the the Norwegian people them
selves do not do the job before then.
The same may be said of the Dutch,
the Czech and other governments
in-eXile whose homelands have been
betrayed, in one way or another, by
natives guilty of making themselves
reasonable puppets of the Nazis.
From the standpoint of law, how
ever, some experts may we'll raise
the point that even though it has
set the pattern and precedent, the
tribunal in Algiers belongs to an
authority whose status as a govern
ment has yet to be determined and
that therefore the validity of the
Pucheu trial is at least open to
question.
In other words, the French Com
mittee of National Liberation, under
which the AlgierS court has oper-
ated. is in a kind Of twilight zone of
legitimacy. Unlike the governments
in-exile, it has not been recognized
TO date as the full -fedged, legally
constituted voice of France, its re
lationS with the United Nations
being held so far, to level short of
that. Whether this technicality
seriously affects the matter in an
international sense, or whether the
majority of the people inside France
regard the De Gaulle organization
as a de facto government sufficiently
empowered to try the men of Vichy
at this time, remains to be seen. But
there can be no question that the
case blazes the trail for the multi
plicity of similar cases yet to come
and shows-whatever may be the
legal doubts in this instance-that

the Allied troops, plus superior equip
ment and superiority in the air. The
Japanese must find the means to stop
this thrust, or they will find their grip
on Northern Burma loosening with pain
full rapidity; the hill tribes are but
waiting chance to come over to what
they have never ceased to call "the

Thus the haraSsed japanese COM
mander in Burma must re-examine his
resources. He has perhaps five or six
divisions. Two of them have Just been
badly mauled in Arakan and are calling
for reinforcements. Another has just
suffered severely in the Hukawng Valley,

because 1t faces superior numbers, and
tanks, and is in some danger of being
wiped out altogether. But if the Japa-
nese commander sends a division to

with which to meet any further attack

China, Thailand or Malaga, filtering in
by the difficult roads across the noun

reinforcement by the only route which

Doubts New Deal Purposes

40 the Eoltor OF Ihe Star:
The eagerness of the administration
to have Federal ballot bill passed
to permit the members of the armed
forces to vote directly for President
and Vice President is not dictated bv
any sentimental motive. It's objective
is to override the plain provisions of
the Constitution Provisions of that
document are plainly written and should
be read by every citizen, but probably
will not be. The method of election
for the President and Vice President
was designed to prevent just what the
administration is striving for: The
imposition Of totalitarianism on this
country.
Under the laws of the various States
there is no disfranchisement of men,
bers of the armed forces except in the
case OF two States which do not permit
absentee voting. That is matter for
the citizens of those States to correct
If they SO wish. But, if the New Deal,
with Federal ballot law, is returned
to office the administration will say:
We told you SOL implying that it was
the Soldier vote" that swung the elec-
ton, which might not be the case. On
the other hand, if the election goes
against the New Deal, then the ad-
ministration may claim that the voting
was illegal and throw the matter into
the courts, retaining Office until 1t is
decided. This may take years and, as
time passes, the grip of totalitarianism
might be frightened more and more on
our throats.
The chances are that with the trouble
that will follow peace" conditions will
arise that will open countless oppor-
tunities for the complete abrogation
of the Constitution, in which event,
the final outcome will be that we will
become exactly what Germany became
under Hitler. c. j. S.

Letters to The Star
Doubts That War Criminals Will
Be Punished
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
would like to indorse the sentiments
expressed by r. Stein in letter pub
lished in The Star of March 7. In
particular, his contention that the
loose and unsound reasoning" being
employed in discussions on the punish
ment of war criminals-"specifical
those plans of exterminatng races of
people, whether yellow or white, Japa-
neSe or German"-will tend only to
prolong the war.
Such haranguings serve to becloud
more important issues ana, thereby,
further confuse an already war-weary
populace.
In the first place. it stands to reason
that, to all practical purposes, it would
be impossible to annihilate an entire
nation.
In the second, executions of those in
dividual powers-that-be responsible"
for the war are highly improbable Most
of us learned-or should have learned
that much from our history books
1t will do no harm however, to refresh
our memories on the subject. Consider
the penalties" imposed upon those
responsible" for the First World War.
What do we find: The Kaiser, for in
stance, died in his bed at Doom. Why?
According to an account written by
Prime Minister Churchill-who. barring
the unforeseen, undoubtedly will have q
say in the peace negotiations to follow
this war-Holland simply would not give
up his Germanic majesty, and that was
that
THE Dutch" wrote Mr.. Churchill,
sore ohctinoto
portant STILL Holland is small country.
Small countries were very much in
fashion at the time of the peace con-
ference. Gallant little Belgium was
being evacuated, reparated compensated
ana congratulated. Holland came
to the rescue of the Allies-she refused
to surrender the Kaiser. Whether or
not the subterranean intrigues of Old
World secret diplomacy may have con-
veyed to the Dutch government some
assurance that they would not be i'm
medlately fallen upon with armed
violence by all the victorious nations,
will never be ascertained."
Mr.. Churchill also has recorded that:
The griefs of the Allies against the
Bulgarians were not light. The cold
blooded entry of Bulgaria into the war:
the historic ingratitude which this act
involved to Russian liberators and
English friends: the stabbing of strug-
Cling Serbia in the back; the frightful
injury inflicted thereby upon the Allied
cause; the war crimes committed on
Serbian soil-wall these made a long and
dark account"
Quite a score that, but easily settled.
Mr.. Churchill concludes "It was
accepted they had been driven into war
by King Ferdinand, and with his de-
parture into luxurious exile the wrath of
the Allies had been sensibly appeased. +"
That's the way it was the last time
and there's precious little chance of its
being any different the next.
The end of this holocaust is far away.
and there are many more important
matters than punitive planning with
which to occupy our minds at this time.
Any such threats that we may hurl at
men or nations will only strengthen
their resistance
