-12 miles west Of the span at
Geertruidenberg - while American
forces had a bridgehead across the
Mark river in the same vicinity
and were only 20 miles from Rot
terdam. Up to last night 3,40O Ger
man prisoners had been captured
in the nine day Allied offensive.
A field dispatch said there was
no doubt the Germans were pull
ing out of southwest Holland with
all speed and would make their
next stand north Of the Rhine es-
tuary.
British reinforcements thrown in
alongside hard fighting American
forces who for five days had borne
the brunt of heavy German coun-

It was disclosed today two Ger
man armored divisions struck from
the east in an attempt to take ad-
vantage of the fact that American
forces had been shifted from that
sector to participate in the Allied
drive north of Antwerp. The enc
nv thrust penetrated within IL
miles of Eindhoven, main Allied
base in Holland, before its power
was spent.
Today's Allied drive to the Mas
occurred just north of captured Ca
pelle and approximately IA miles
west of S Hertogenbosch. A few
miles further west two other con-
versing Allied columns bore down
on Geertruidenberg, and were re-
ported to have the long bridge there
under fire.
A German Transocean n e W S
broadcast said that road traffic on
both sides of the Mas had been
bombed steadily by the Allies, but
noted that the bridges had been
spared and said 1.-The Allies ap.

American troops fighting near the
western end of the Holland front
deepened their thrust across he

Canadians pressed on three miles
north of Roosendaal and seized Quo

he said, still is in China. e.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Roose'

the distribution Of American sup

He added, however, that he would
be afraid to comment on whether
the supplies played some part in
the differences because he honestly

The president also said that the
position of the so. : called Chinese
communists was not factor in
the withdrawal.

timely further to explore Mr.. Cool

and weaknesses as a means to achieve

"PerhapS one of the reasons I
haze been a target for SO little abuse

from abusing other people.
"The words of the president
haze an enormous weight and ought
not to be used indiscriminately.
1T Would be exceedingly easy to
set the country all by the ears and
foment hatredS and jeaIousies,
Which, by destroying faith and con-
fdence, WouId help nobody and
harm everybody. The end you'd be
the destruction of all progress.

driUe out eUH from the country is by
the constructive method of filling ii
With good"
Thus, the years magnify our
recognition of the profundity of MI.
Coolidge's quiet insight.
AS time passes, Coolidge's stature
grows, and the people can benefit by
re. reading his admonitions as well
as his infrequent ex~hortations.

Our Foreign Policy
BY LESLIE GOULD

To cap it all, the treasury depart
ment has devised an income tax re-
port for the individual SO COM
PLICATED that even that master
mathematician, Prof. Albert Elm
stein, is stumped.
And instead of one return a year
as formerly, now the individual must
file FIVE-one regular return as
before and four "guesstimates.'
DOR the hapless individual in the
l. very high brackets, his tax this
year and next, will EXCEED HIS
INCOME.
1t all just doesn't make sense.
The only two things that have
worked out in the end are the pro-
duction Of war equipment and per-
haps the organization of the armed
forces.
AS to the former, this achieve
ment has been in spite of administra-
ton muddling and bungling.
Whether the same is true as to
the latter, the public will probably
have to wait until the end Of the war
to learn.
TN HANDLING the critical prob
L lens of labor, the Roosevelt
administration has shown the same
lack of realism; the same lack of
courage and the same lack Of under
standing.
The administration has NO
LABOR POLICY.
And because ii has no labor
policy, many thousands of valuable
mar hours haze been lost in war
factories.
Now the same kind of thinking,
the SAME MUDDLED APPROACH
is being revealed in the international
field. This should be no surprise, in
light Of the record on meeting the
other problems of the nation.
Yet many have said Mr.. Roose-
velt's domestic policies are wrong,
but that he is doing all right in his
international dealings.
They are noW beginning to realize
Mr.. Roosevelt has no foreign policy
any more than he has any domestic
policy.
In fact he has no nOlicV-PFRTOD
