WHY SHOULD THERE Be
FEAR OF SECRET PACTS?

If there is one thing that should be
open and above board in this country, 1t
is the matter of treaties and commitments
with foreign nations. 1t Is just part OF
democracy that the people should be
final Judges of all such alliances or pactS
and this means that our representative
form of government, patterned ON a true
democracy. calls for free, full and open
discussion by members of the senate, In
the senate, as we'll as full knowledge of
proposed treaties.
Recently the American Manufacturers
association had reason to believe a move
was on to commit this country secretly
in some sort of tie-up in trade relations.
Strange it seems. yet the association had
to make inquiry at Washington of Fed
eral bureau to trace down the report. In
this instance it was the Combined Pro
duction and Resources Board, otherwise
known as the CPRB, to which the in
quiry was made Although the head of
the board made vehement denial of any
move to enter pact with Britain to keep
the United States out of any leather
deals The ANA, in directing the in
quiry declared that L. S. manufacturers
already had been barred from shipping
to purchases in India.
NOW let : see uSl HOW lillS II n D real
ly is constituted. 1t is an agency born of
wartime emergency" and made up of
British, Canadian and American repre-
sentatives, presumably appointed by the
heads of their various governments. The
head of the L. S. agency is one William
L. Bait, identified with other new deal
bureaus. In his denial of any leather
pact having been made he told ANA he
had conferred with the State Department
and the Foreign Economic Administra-
tion and Learned We have never dealt
with leather
With such a mixed mess of agencies
and bureaus attempting to handle mat
ters belonging purely with the govern
ment, no wonder the ANA became sus-
picious. Out of such maze of "authOri-
ty" almost anything could happen.
Nor has it been so long that the state
department trOtted out the secretly con-
structed treaty with Mexico pledging one
and half billion acre feet of the Color
ado river water to the Republic in the
south. In this case the greatest surprise
came from the senate itself. The people
could not have had a chance to know
what was going on when the approving
body itself was not apprised.
There is no place in our system for
such secrecy.

Bitter Fighting
Awaits, Says
Gen. Eisenhower

ALLIED ADVANCE COMMAND
POST, July II. CUP)-Gen. Dwight
d. Eisenhower told correspondents
that the overall war picture may
be viewed with optimism, sCbered
by knowledge that from now on we
must fight bitterly for every foot
of ground.
Eisenhower called the German
flying bomb a damnable thing but
added that in the measurable fu-
ture there does not seem to be any
indication it would become more
effective than now.
The Allied command said the ro-
bot was not a particularly effective
weapon except for hitting large
areas such as a city and certainly
is not yet sufficiently developed
for pin-point bombardment.
From the German viewpoint, he
said it gives them a cheap substi-
tute for bcmber force. The fact
it is wild makes no difference, nc
said, because German bomber
raids on England were Just as wild.
So. he said, the robots arc Just
as effective and n damned sight
cheaper"

A TEST OF CHARACTER
(Santa Ana RegiSterl

(Santa Ana RegiSterl
One of these days the war is going to
end. And some time after that the men
in service are going to start back into
civilian life and we are going to see in
this country a difficult period of ad-
justment.
There are thousands of young men
who are earning more money than they
could ever have hoped to earn III civil
ian life. In addition to that they are
placed i'm positions of great responsible
ty and as a result are granted great
authority.
Assuming that man is single and is
a flier fighting overseas he will draw
base pay. flight pay and combat pay.
For the first six ranks in the Air Corps.
for Instance. Il man in these clrcum-
stances would have the following approx
innate checks each month: second lieut.
enant. S270: first lieutenant. $500; cap
tain. $3.50; major, S435; lieutenant col
onel $500; colonel $50.
Keep in mind that many of the men
drawing this amount of money are, in
many instances, under % years of age
and the big percentage of them under 80.
In addition to having a SlZable income
and considerable authority these young
men have enjoyed great prestige and
honor
What then, will be their attitude to-
ward civilian life when the shooting final
ly ends and they attempt to fit them
selves into civilian jobs? How will the
boy who has been captain or a major
feel when he returns to his bank Job
at $3.50 to 5000 a month and has little or
no authority. Or the youngster that re-
turns to the clerking job, the gasoline
station or the farm?
How these young men will react to
such condition will be one of the stern
est tests of character that they will have
to face in their entire lives.

NO EXCEPTION

The difference between governmental
and private management is again explicit
ly demonstrated by the pouring of 1000
gallons of milk into the sewers of Atlanta
because of an ODT regulation that no
milk should be delivered on Sunday. Val
liable food was wasted because local Off
cials could make no exception to the gen
eral rule which, whatever its benefits
may be, prohibited individual decision in
what was in effect an emergency.
A few days ago we had the case of
100 pounds of peanut butter destroyed
because the pound containers were short
a fraction of an ounce full weight. Gov
ernment functiOnarleS are not permitted
the discretion of ruling on any urgent
issue on the basis of common sense. Rules
are rules and if they function in accord
ance with the rules their records are
clear, no matter how absurd may be the
results.
This is inherent in government man
agement and the government function
aries are not to blame It is not for them
to reason why. but to do what the rules
command.
If the Atlanta functonaries of the
ODI had made an exception IN their par
ticular case, it would hardly have
wrecked the national ODT setup, but no
doubt there would have been a snarl of
red tape that would have required weeks
OF correspondence to straighten out. The
easiest way IS to make no exceptions.
