PARISH STREET SATURDAY

couldn't help but indulge in
some of the conversations that
were going On regarding the con-
duct of things out at the Negro
Fair which ended another success
full season here fast Saturday
night even though my papa is a
big man in the fair, and all the
conversation was about how the
things should not have been al
lowed to run. And frankly, to papa
and all I had to agree with those
people who say that ''Cutthroat
Gamhlingg" out there ought to be
cut out, that its victims are only
the people VINO can least afford
to loose, and the winners are
people who ought to be made to
look somewhere else for their VIC
Tins
And as one fellow said, it looks
funny. that the fair, operating ev-
cry year and taking in hundreds
Of dollars, is not as good now. as
it was when it first started. tt use

Tokyo broadcasts is completely
false, as is also the story that Red
Army men use our butter to grease
their boots. Similarly vicious are
the reports that the British remove
our labels from the goods we send
them, substitute their own and then
transship the material to other
countries, taking the credit that
rightfully belongs to u.s. The British
have heard that we do the same
thing with what they deliver to us,
the guileful Axis radio simultane-
ously beaming the American
version to Britain and the anti-Eng-
lish version to the United States.
Nothing is too self-contradictory for
the versatile DR.. Goebbels.
Mr.. Crowley renders a genuins
service to truth and to Allied unity
in welding the AK against these and
other trouble making falsehoods,
and his action is especially timely
because Congress must soon vote to
continue the lease-lend authority
for another year.

Gen. Macarthur Explains

General MacArthur's explanatory
statement pursuant to the publ
cation Of personal letters he had
written to Representative Miller of
Nebraska does nothing to change his
status as a possible choice of the
Republican party for its next presi-
Dental candidate. II have not
sought the office," General Mac
Arthur says, "nor do seek it." That
Is about what he has said in the past
on this score, and presumably it
represents the position he will ad-
here to in the future. The fair
inference is that, while not a can
didate in the conventional sense, he
would accept the nomination If it
were to be offered to him.
There may be good reason for de-
string more explicit statement, but
this is a season in which reticence
on the part OF potential political
candidates seems to be the. rule
rather than the exception. II the
Macarthur declaration leaves his
political boosters with something
less than a clear picture Of his posi-
tion, they are no more in the dark
than are the hackers of the Presi-
dent and Governor Dewey.
General Macarthur also sought to
overcome the impression that his
letters to Mr.. Miller were intended
as criticism of the President and his
administration. The letters, he said,
were of personal nature, never in
tended for publication. Further
more he added, II entirely repudi-
ate the sinister Interpretation that
they were intended as criticism of
any political philosophy or Of any
personages in high office. They
were written merely as amiable ac-
knowledgments to member of our
highest lawmaking body of letters
containing fiattering and friendly
remarks to me personally"
Presumably these assertions will
be accepted as a satisfactory reply
to the complaint that the Macarthur
letters were q deliberate attack on
the President and his policies. The
fact remains, however, that the ex-
change OF correspondence between
the general and the Congressman
was entirely susceptible OF the In
depreciation which he describes as
sinister" and the incident should
serve as an impressive object lesson
to all members Of the armed services
who may have occasion to write
letters touching upon partisan poll
tical themes.

purposes slowly but surely. 1t Is be-
lieved in some usually well-informed
circles that 1t was he who brought about
the spectacular rapprochement between
the Italian and Russian governments
and 1t appears that he will be the nerve
center Of the new government now being
formed
According to private reports from
Southern Italy, the italian people who
received the Allies enthusiastically at
first are becoming lukewarm toward
the new army of occupation There
are several reasons for this. The Allies,
and particularly the American propa-
ganda services, had given the liberated
italians the impression that they would
be supplied with adequate quantities of
food and civilian goods.
Transportation and other factors
made it difficult for the Allied authori-
ties to keep the promises given so rashly
by the civilians in charge of this propa-
ganda. Then the failure of the Allied
armies to break through the Nazi lines
gave our enemies an excellent propa-
ganda theme of their own. Russia is
the only member of the United Nations
which has no fighting force in Southern
Italy; hence the Soviet did not share in
the loss of face which resulted from our
failure to dislodge the Germans from
their positions on the road to Rome.
Finally, the premature announcement
that third Of the Italian fleet would
be handed over to the Russians caused
storm Of indignation in Italy. It is
interesting to note that at no time did
the Soviet government publicly admit
that 1t had made such a request at
Teheran or later. The Italians were
under the impression that this was
one-sided gesture on the part of the
United States. Many Italians are re-
ported to have understood that 1t was
some sort of an appeasement move by
America toward Russia at the expense
of a co-belligerent of the United Ma
tions.
These conditions, together with the
underground propaganda among the
civilians, caused a reversal Of the atti-
tude Of the Italian population, from the
simple villagers to the army officers and
the intellectuals in the large cities.
Now, instead Of the wave of friendliness
which we met in Sicily. we have to deal
with an tll-concealed hostility in all the
occupied territories.

Leose-Lend Rumors

1t is always difficult to undo COM
pletely the mischief done by vicious
gossip, mean and irresponsible ru-
mors and brazen insinuations and
lnnuendoes carefully calculated to
lnJure a mans reputation or be-
Smlrch an honest cause. Unfor-
tunately, to some minds, the truth
too often seems less appealing and
exciting than it's meretricious op-
posite, so that to nail down the lat
ter and get rid of it permanently is
by no means an easy task. The
thing dies hard; it has more lives
than cat: it needs to be struck
down not once but many times be-
fore it is finally buried and forgot
ten.
A notable case in point is the re-
curing spate of rumors about the
operations of lease-lend. From time
to time we have been told all sorts
of nonsense in connection with this
vital wartime pooling and reciprocal
interchange of Allied resources, and
from time to time, the nonsense has
been hit resoundingly on the head.
But still, resuscitated and nourished
in no small measure by Axis propa-
gandists, it gets back in currency
every now and then-so much so, in
fact, that Leo T. Crowley, director
of our Foreign Economics Admin
istration, has just seen fit to make
another frontal attack upon it in
special statement to the House For
eign Affairs Committee.
There is, for instance, the old
chestnut about how lease lend
money has been used to finance gay
dinner parties thrown by Allied pur-
chasing commissions. Nothing of
the sort has ever happened. Indeed,
according to Mr.. Crowley, it could
not possibly happen. Then there is
the story about sending $4,000 re-
frigerators to England, presumably
to let English housewives have them
while American housewives went
without. Actually, says Mr. Crowley,
only $40 were sent and they were
for distribution throughout the en-
tire British Empire, to be used for
storing perishable chemicals and
foodstuffs in such establishments as
hospitals.
Other lease-lend rumorS of a po-
tentially more dangerous and di-
visive kind include one to the effect
that the Russians have transferred
some American-made planes to the
Japanese. This story-one of sew
eral OF the same type circulated by

Bishops Task

The conservation of the Very
Reverend Angus Dun as fourth
Bishop of Washington at Mount
Saint Alban tomorrow will be an
event of national Importance in the
exact meaning of that phrase. No
man can be head Of the diocese in
cluding the Capital of the United
States and not be regarded by the
general public as man peculiarly
situated in relation to his country
men.
For Bishop Dun will be called
upon to play an important part in
the contemporary life of the whole
Nation. He succeeds a leader of
very rich gifts and very great dis
tinction-whose stature has grown
as recent months have passed-and
the field of work upon which he is
entering is not different from his
predecessors either in scope and
span or in complexity. The task is
tremendous in its proportions, and
its intricacy is no less compelling.
Bishop Dun will be the diocesan
administrator of more than sixty
parishes in the District of Columbia
and four counties of Maryland. He
also will be responsible for the
numerous chapels and missions OF
those parishes. It will be expected
of him to supervise at least dozen
institutions, among them a hospital,
homes for the young and the aged,
several famous schools for children
and the unique College OF Preachers
opened in 1929. He must serve on a
long list of commissions and other
consultative bodies, and he must
represent his communion in its con-
nections with official and semi
official agencies as well as with an
Infinite variety of volunteer groups
OF citizens associated in good causes
of high value.
Nor should 1t be forgotten that
Bishop Dun inherits the obligation
OF his predecessors to continue the
construction of Washington Cathe-
dral, always a national project since
its start in 1898. There are spiritual
as well as physical and economic
reasons why he must be a master
builder. Even when new dean has
been installed, he still will feel 1t to
be a portion of his duty to contribute
OF himself to the carrying on OF the
erection of the monumental House
OF Prayer toward which so much
was accomplished by his immediate
forerunner.
The beautiful ceremony Of laying
ON Of hands tomorrow viii give
Bishop Dun the consent and the
fellowship Of his brethren OF the
episcopate, but he and they alike
well understand that it is the people
upon whom he must rely for the
fulf1llment Of his mission. He comes
to Office conspicuously endowed with
fine talents, but it is nothing less
than the truth thathe will meet the
exacting demands Of his position in
the ratio Of the generosity of the
popular support which he obtains.

and even the China coast are not
excluded. Japan's battle fleet still
remains substantially intact, but our
Navy is yearning for a showdown
fight and is ready to oblige whenever
the Tokyo admiralty is willing to
cooperate.
Our Frightening prospects in the
Pacific are in sharp contrast with
the crucial situation on the Asiatic
continent, from Burma to China,
where the strategic initiative ap-
pears to be with the japanese Army.
This would, indeed, be logical reply
to the reverses suffered in the Pa
cific. Japan is still powerful and
capable of strong countermoves. 1t
should not be underestimated.

or five divisions of this type are re-
ported to have been moved into France
during the last few weeks.
In addition to the foregoing, there
are probably in Germany anywhere from
rs to 35 divisions which are mere train
ing formations lacking the equipment
and transport to take the field but pos
sibly OF some eventual value if it comes
to the defense of German home terri
tory.
OF the German total of 315 divisions,
probably as many as 100 of the infantry
divisions have been reduced from three
infantry regiments to two, and many
infantry regiments now have only two
battalions instead of three The greater
part of the armored divisions have been
sharply reduced in size, some having
less than one-half of their prewar
establishment of tanks and armored
cars.
The armies of Germany's satellites
have almost disappeared as factor in
German military calculations.
The Finnish army of 1915 divisions
can be counted on, perhaps, to defend
the frontiers of Finland as long as Fin
land is belligerent, but certainly for
nothing else. The Bulgarian Army con-
slsts of 20 divisions, of which four or
five have been doing garrison duty in
occupied Yugoslav and Greek territory,
but Bulgaria's allegiance to the Axis is
becoming more and more doubtful with
every mile that the Russians advance
toward the Danube.
X =.
The Romanian Army nominally con-
slsts OF l8 divisions, of which only four
are at full strength. OF these 18 divi-
slons, probably as many as six are in
course of destruction in the Crimea,
cynically abandoned there by their Ger
man masters The Hungarians may
have as many as 18 divisions available
altogether
The reduction in Axis fighting strength
since the beginning of 1943 is significant
indeed. At that time, Germany could
count on at least 320 full-strength Ger
man divisions and 1870 satellite divisions
"a total of 500. Today the satellite di-
visions are dWindled to a mere handful,
OF which only the Hungarians can be
used against major enemy, and the
present German strength is not more
than the equivalent of $50 divisions at
the January, 1943, establishment.
