On all sides there is praise for the
American soldiers in London who have
cone SO much to help the bombed out in
the last 30 days. They and their trucks
and their jeeps have been ever ready
to give service to the bomb blasted Lon
doner. Many thanks; most grateful.
BY this further help and comradeship
in passing adversely the two nations
build up their permanent ties of affec-
ton. Now who shall be praised among
the English? First among many, the
women of the Voluntary Services, the
mothers, the middle-aged, the often
grey-haired women who wear an hon.
ored uniform of olive green. They have
ministered with kindness and efficiency
to the needs of the homeless. They
have worked long hours. feeding, cloth
ing, evacuating and rehousing many
thousands of people Next let Lon.
doners praise their bus drivers and par
ticularly the bus girls. For 30 days and
80 nights there has been no wavering in
the sense of duty displayed by the men
and women or London's transport.
Never has an alert held up journey.
The business of the town has gone on.

Urses Board of Managers

To the Editor Of The Star:
The editorial entitled "A Head Man
Needed" appearing in The Star on
Sunday, August ~, was, in my opinion,
ill considered and not in the best in
terest of the Nations economy.
The handling of 500, 900 900 900 worth
Of the peoples properties is big busi-
ness" and the most practical and profit
able method yet devised for handling
big business is through the manage
ment of board of directors.
No man, even though superman,
possibly can be experienced in all things
from socks to ships" and certainly no
man should be put in complete charge
of the handling of huge surplus prop
critics consisting of thousands and thou
sands of articles of various kinds.
A board of eight men of diverse ex-
perience would render much more ef1i-
cient and valuable service to the people.
If there be any efficiency in system
of checks and balances" such a system
should be applied to the handling of
the surplus properties paid for with
the peoples money, and certainly there
is no emergency calling for hasty de-
cisions in the disposal thereof.

The Outlook for Jopon

The war lords of Tokyo will not
scott at what has just been said
by Secretary Of the Navy Forrestal
and Admiral Fitch, deputy chief of
United States naval operations for
air. They will note it glumly and not
doubt it, having learned long since
that the statistics of American
power represent q reality the like of
which has never before been seen in
the world
Says Mr.. Forrestal: In the five
years since the start of the European
war the American Navy-"for the
first time in its history the greatest
naval power on earth'-has built
$4,000 vessels of all types totaling
in excess of 100000 displacement
tons, an expansion which has in
creased the number of its combat
ships more than three times, given
it a huge new fleet of supporting
and landing craft and much more
than trebled its fire power. In ad-
dition, during the same period, its
air force has grown twenty times
stronger, being made up today of
some $4,000 planes and 47O0O pilots,
with additional planes being cur
rently delivered at rate approach
ing 5000 month, as against only
about $50 month in 1883.
Says Admiral Fitch: Task Force
So, which scourged the japanese so
effectively in the last eight months,
was just a sweet summer zephyr
compared to the array and arrange
ment of ships, planes and other
Weapons-old and new-which are
ready to lash out now" In other
words, everything that has already
happened in the Pacific under naval
drive will be made to seem relatively
minor by what is to come in the
weeks and months ahead The Gill
bertS, the Marshalls, the Marianas-
the great events that have occurred
there are to be dwarfed by the
American storm in the making.
Backed up by Mr.. Forrestal's fig
ures, Admiral Fitchs weather pre-
diction is plainly no empty threat.
The Tokyo war lords have had ex-
perience enough with the American
Navy to realize that it's tough talk
must be taken at face value. And
when we consider that this gigantic
sea and air power is but part of our
total present and potential strength
in the Pacific-Asiatic theater, when
we keep in mind General Mac
Arthur's forces in the New Guinea
area. and Allied forces in Burma
and China, and the prospective ad-
dition of British naval elements, and
the Super Fortresses, and all the
arms and men that can be thrown
into the battle out there as soon as
the battle in Europe is over. we can
see that the outlook for the Jap
anese is dark in the extreme, no
matter how hard or fanatically
they may choose to fight.
The sweet summer zephyr" is to
be followed by violence of q kind
never bargained for by Japan when

Education Imperative

Any development which has the
effect Of isolating from normal proc
esses of education any considerable
portion Of the youth of the land is
something to be deplored. The an
nouncement that the public schools
OF the District of Columbia will open
on September 18 with the lowest
enrolment in eleven years." there
fore, is matter of concern to the
whole community.
Granted that boys and girls who
would be returning to their classes
next month are employed in work
related to the winning of the war
and also taking into account that
they naturally rejoice in being wage
earners, it still is a problem which
no answer of purely expedient char
acter can solve. The help of the
young people admittedly has been
needed, but the public has no right
to expect them to sacrifice more
than their fair share of the future
achievement and success to which
they naturally aspire.
In this connection, it must be
remembered that at eighteen great
majority Of boys 60 into military
training. Such requirement. auto
matically interferes with ordinary
schooling. The danger to the cul-
tural standards of the Nation is
obvious. We're it to be continued
lllimitably, definite loss to Ameri-
can civilization necessarily would be
recorded. The risk is not one which
the United States willingly takes.
The Office of Education and the War
Manpower Commission are agreed
on the Importance of getting back to
school and keeping at school every
young citizen not imperatively re-
quired for the armed services.
A statement from the Children's
Bureau of the Department of Labor
and the Federal Security Agency
contains an affirmation which de-
serves the serious consideration of
everybody concerned. 1t reads In
part:
The war is not going to last for
ever -. Peacetime and wartime
are very different. 1t would be nice
IT some one could tell you for sure
just what your world will be like
when the war is over. Nobody can.
But one thing is sure: The world YOU
live in Is going to be more compli-
Gated place than it was before the
war. Great advances and changes
are taking place right now. There
Will be more after the war. You'll
need all the education and training
You can get for the postwar world
And schools the place to get it.
History repeats. Just a quarter
century ago, the same warning4was
being issued. Those who needed it
never regretted their decision, and
those who did not heed it never vet
have managed to catch up with the
procession of those who wisely did.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

year Horace A. Hildreth, a Portland
lawyer who has had wide experience in
business and politics and has been
president OF the State Senate His
Democratic opponent is Paul J. Julien
OF Waterville. All of the sitting Re-
publican members of the House have
been renominated. In the lst dis
trlct, represented by Robert Hale, the
C1O Political Action Committee backed
Andrew A. Pettis for the Republican
and Democratic nominations Mr.. Hale
won denomination in the Republican
primary by an 8-to-l vote However.
Pettls won the Democratic nomination
over two regular Democrats-Pettisw was
formerly Republican. This has made
some of the Democrats unhappy-and
also has been responsible for charges
that the CIO is taking over the Demo-
cratic party.
Two years ago the Democrats pinned
their hopes. in the Maine congressional
elections, on former Gov. Brann, who
ran against Mr.. Hale in the lst con-
gressional district. They figured that
with Mr.. Branns known popularity,
plus the thousands of workers in the
Portland shipyards, it should be pos
sible to defeat Hale, conservative Re-
publican. Yet Hale won with a lead
OF $4,000 votes. Two years ago the war
was on and the Democrats were appeal
ing for the election of members of
Congress to uphold the President and
help win the war. Maine went strongly
Republican. re-electing Senator White
by big majority and electing all three
Republican members of the House.
In the coming congressional elections
in Maine rather than in the guber-
material election 1t should be possible
to get some idea how the voters are
reacting to the war as an issue In the
political campaign. And also some
measure of the strength of the CLOS
political pressure.
Failure Of the Democrats to nominate
many candidates for office in Maine
this year leads to the belief that the
Democratic organization there has been
rather completely demoralized.

CoIIuborotionists' Fate

Inc picture of what is happening
IN the liberated portions of France
Is not yet clear. For example, there
stlll seems to be confusion about the
late OF a number of well-known
persons charged with having been
collaooratlonists. Dr. Alexis Carre1
long affiliated with the Rockefeller
institute for Medical Research in
New York but more recentlv di-
rector of a Vichy-supported labo-
ratory IN Paris, has been reported
under arrest. Reports from Cannes
meanwhile suggest that Maurice
Chevaller, musical comedy singer
ana motion picture actor, has been
Killed. Other theatrical stars al
legedly in trouble include Sacha
Gultry, Pierre Fresnay and Gilbert
Oil. The woman novelist and trav-
eler, Titayna, likewise is said to be
charged with cooperation with the
Nazls. Her name is mentioned in
dispatch telling of the imprison-
ment Of Francois Lihideux, a lead
ing figure in the automotive indus
trial field.
Much more significant, however,
Is the question of what has become
of the aged Marshal Philippe Petain,
head of the provisional Vichy re-
gime during the years of German
occupation. At lightweight, he is
thought to be in the custody of
Hitler's Gestapo at Belfort. The
same protection" it has been said,
has been accorded to Pierre Laval,
Prime Minister since 1912.
Collaboration in itself is a word
of several different meanings. Che
Waller, for instance, is described by
the FIJI as not having done
"any special harm" but merely fol-
lowing the path which assured him
OF the most comfortable living" un-
der prevailing circumstances. Other
Frsnchmen unfortunately appear to
have been guilty Of entering into a

The first round in the 1914 elections
will be fought out Monday, September
II. when the Maine voters 60 to the
polls to pick Governor three members
Of the House of Representatives and
long list OF State and county officers.
Republican victory is expected all along
the line. In the presidential election,
Maine. like the other AZ States, does
not vote until November 7.
1t has long been an exploded theory
that "as Maine goes so goes the Nation !"
However both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will seek to read significance Of a
national trend into the States election
returns week from Monday.
The vote will in all proba bility be
light. in the opinion of Republican lead
ers In Maine. If so it will be due to
the fact that in many counties the
Democrats have not completed their
tickets, and to the fact that so MANY
men and women are away from their
voting places in the armed services or
in war production plants
The COP has for years had the ad-
vantage in the Pine Tree State. 1t gave
Its electoral vote to only one Democratic
candidate for Observation-Disclosures Will

was split by the Theodore Roosevelt
Bull Moose candidacy. 1t did elect. how
ever. Democratic Governor, Louis J
Brann, in 1882 and 1884, and also two
Democratic Representatives in the House
in those years.
There Is the unlikely possibility that
Maine may go Republican September II
and go for Roosevelt November T. Re
publicars point out that 1t Is difficult
to get the voters stirred up and keep
them that way for both elections. For
example, four years ago the Republicans
carried the State for Gov Sewell by

dental election took place Wendell L.

Debt Owed to Poland
By Maj. Georee FieIdins Eliot

This column is written on September
l. date which will long be remembered
rs that on which Adolf Hitler launched
his columns across the frontiers of
Poland and thereby launched war on
the world which he hoped to rule
So long as history shall be written
end studied on this earth, September
/, 1899, will be date Of terrible signifl-
cance. But in remembering what the
Germans did on that day, we should
not lightly pass over what the Poles
did
They took up their weapons and
fought as best they could until they
were overcome by sheer weight OF
numbers and superiority OF armament.
That. too, is fact of historical sig
nificance. The Polish resistance was
the first armed resistance that had
been offered to Hitlers expanding career
OF conquest. 1t was the beginning of
the worldwide resistance which slowly
increased, through many vicissitudes
and defeats. until at last it checked the
outward thrusts of the German power
at Stalingrad and Ell Alamein, and
along the English Channel. and began
rolling the Germans back upon the
central fortress of Germany from which
they had set out.
Poles today are fighting in Italy, in
France. and in Poland itself They will
continue to fight until Poland is tree
once more. The debt which we owe
tC them for their unceasing struggle is
one which we cannot repay, for we
cannot restore the Polish lives which
have been snuffed out by Na1 brutality;
Eut it is debt which we should never
forget.
The liberation of Poland seems likely
to be accomplished in great part, at
least, by Russian armies. A good slice
of Eastern Poland is already behind the
Russian lines. The Russians are gain
ing ground slowly northeast and south
OF Warsaw, while within the Polish
capital the Polish underground forces
still are fighting.
There has been a good deal of con-
troversy over this Warsaw uprising The
Russian press has said that it was
premature, and has not hesitated to
charge that 1t was launched in order
to improve the political position of the
Polish government in London as against
that of the Russian-sponsored Polish
National Committee. Premature in the
military sense the rising undoubtedly
was, as has been previously remarked
in this column; but it was premature
because the Russian offensive toward
Warsaw was rolled back by . powerful
German counterattack, as Is made
clear by the Russian communique of
Thursday reporting the capture of the
town Of Radzymin. which the Russians
had already claimed to have taken
weeks ago.
Evening star., 1944-09-02

enough war material to enable Hitler's
forces to carry on q defensive battle
even after all the satellites have sur
rendered, there is the human element
which makes 1t highly improbable that
the Germans will put up organized re-
sistance for long time.
The Germans are not and have never
been the supermen Hitler has described
them. Traditionally they are good SOL
diers, capable Of great feats Of arms
when they are on the winning side, but
are equally inclined to become disheart-
ened when things 60 against them.
Since June, 1943, they have been on
the run. They have suffered setbacks in
Russia, North Africa, Italy and France
It Is true that their defeats were rep
resented to the home front and to the
outside world as strategic retreats to
trap the enemy" That camouflage for
a while may have impressed the people
at home and even some OF the Allies who
had seen a faultless German strategy
and superb organizatio in the earlier
days of the war But the ofiicial COM
muniques do not fool the man at the
front who knows that he has to run
away in order to save himself.
The German soldiers fought well in
Western France for a while. They be-
lieved what their superpropaganda was
telling them that the American soldiers
they were to meet we're "greenhorns"
who had not previously been under fire
and would not be able to measure up to
the determined resistance of the Ger
man veterans. But when they discov-
cred that the "greenhorn" was an ex-
cellent soldier and that he was better
equipped than the German, the Nazi re-
treat became rout. The internal sit
uation in the Reich, with it's drastic
purges, is not likely to spur the fighting
spirit of the men at the front, neither
is the news of the collapse of Germany S
Balkan satellites conducive to improv-
ing morale
While few people in Washington ex-
pect formal surrender and regular
demand for armistice from the Ger
mans, there is strong belief in quar-
tiers where military, political and psy-
Geological factors are taken into con-
sideration that we shall witness a COM
plete crumbling of the German resist
ance before the end of October.
