No matter how many times

a release from the department
Of the interior which begins as
follows-minus any preamble TO
cushion the shock:
Secretary Of the Interior
Harold l.. Ickes today issued the
following statement:
"And Absalom rose up early
and stood beside the way Of
the gate; and IL was so that
when any man that had a con-
troversy came 10 the king for
Judgment, then Absalom called
unto him and said, Of what city
art thou: And he said, thy
servant Il Of one of the tribes
OF Israel.

right; but there Is no man
deputed of the king to hear
thee.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

"Absalom said moreover, oh
that 1 were made judge i'm the
land, that every man which
hath any suit or cause might
come unto me, and I would do
him justice"
I CONTEND that Ickes should
L not be allowed 10 do this to
me. Not in my weakened condi-
ton. How would you like to
pick up what purports TO be an
official governmental announce
ment and get smacked in the
kisser with Absalom
TELL you il is soul-shaking.
Here you are, trying dutifully
TO cover the latest developments
in Washington and what do you
learn?
That Secretary Ickes has come
out against Absalom!
l suppose the next thing he
will be doing is organize anti
Absalom clubs all over the
country. I certainly don't know
what Absolam ever did TO Ickes
except get his hand caught in
an oak tree--so that Joab could
skewer him with darts.
l don't think il could be jeal-
ousy, because l am almost GER
tain that if Joab were around
today he would be glad to do as
much for Ickes.
TH1S release of the interior
l. secretary covers three pages
of valuable white paper and il
is not until you get down quite
a way that you discover Harold
is really taking a crack at Gov.
Dewey.
Dewey delivered criticism of
the Jackson Hole monument in
Wyoming, saying that the prof.

New Deal and its lack of re-
sponsibility for the rights and
opinions of the people affected"
The Jackson Holers have been
up in arms for months because
the vast area has been exempt
from tax levies. thereby depict
ing local community Golfers.
Ickes said that any criticism
about the project should not be
directed at the New Deal
because the parties responsible
for the monument were Calvin
Coolidge, Herbert Hoover and
John d. Rockefeller Jr.
He worked in the Absalom
analogy by saying Dewey was
willing to enter judgment of any
complaint against the admins
tration, even without hearing
the evidence.

Letters From
A Soldier

mer, Is one man who has his
mind thoroughly made up to
go back into the exact job he
had before.
He was a foreman in a gov
eminent printing office, and he
has a definite promise that he
can have the job back, along
with his seniority, and, as q
matter of fact, more pay.
He was notified recently that
he had had a raise which will
take effect as soon as he re-
turns to work. In his particular
job, the raises are automatic.
depending on the length of time
he holds the job, and In his
instance, he theoretically still
holds his job and is merely
temporarily absent.
Curiously, very few men have
mentioned the unions, although
it's a foregone conclusion that
those who do belong will be
pretty sore if the unions don't
try TO protect their jobs-as I
reeolleet it, most unions have
foreseen this, and already have
taken steps in that direction
While were on the subject of
unions, I can't help mentioning
that there is great deal of
anger over strikes, and I have
had letters from all over the
world Judging by the APO
addresses from soldiers who
resent strikes in war plants, but

BEHIND The NEWS
BY Paul Mallon

WASHINGTON, Sept. %
The official stories say
there will be another bumper
crop this year, but some of the
private experts suggest IL will
turn out 10 be much less than
last year as whole.
Economic Stabilizer Byrnes
Is asking $4,000, 000,0 900 to ham
die the officially predicted sur
pluses, but the housewife knows
there are obvious further short
ages in butter and cheese, and
rationing is still going.
Vermont's Senator Aiken is
promoting a restoration of the
food stamp plan 10 dole out the
supposed SURPRISES. but there
are no needy 10 justify such a
dole.
Reports from official quarters
suggest the army is overstocked
in Europe. and certainly il is
true that the job of feeding
northern Europe will be less
than We expected. Conditions
in Germany as we'll as France
seem less drastic on that score
than we anticipated.
But there are no official
figures 10 show how much over
stocking the defenSes services
have done, or in what lines.
TOSS all these and other SIM
l. liar news evidences OF the
food situation into the air, and
you will find very little solid
fact floating TO the ground.
About the only visible fact is
that this is an election year and
the administration is worried
about the polls showing Dewey
leading in the farm regions.
Gross panaceas TO aid the
farmer naturally are in order,
and il may be necessary TO wait
until after the election 10 get
any clear cut absolute picture
of the situation.
Even so, there seems to be
confusion among the managers
here of our managed economy,
some Of whom are political.

good to consumers and process
sors. but make the farmer
shaky.

THESE DAYS

THE Chinese have been at
war with the japanese since
Sept. 19, 1881. exactly ID years
ago. I use the words. Chi
nese" and japanese" for
whereas there were formal Pc
RODS of peace between the two
countries, the people of China
have never forgiven the Japa-
nese the seizure of Manchuria,
the establishment of a political
and economic sphere of influ-
ence in north China. the financ-
ing OF anti-nationalistic political
parties in China and the stinu-
lation of initiation harming the
Chinese as much as the bombing
of their cities.
All this occurred before
World War II started and dur
ing the whole of those troublous
days China stood alone.
The United States, Great
Britain and the League of Ma
tons raised a tumult. but did
not a thing that really helped
the Chinese.
Soviet Russia, then as now,
maintained a strict neutrality
and supported an army of Chi
nese irreconcilables who added
TO China's woes and prevented
Chang Kai-shek from concen-
trating on the main task of
saving his country.

"A to defeat as she has ever
been. The position of Change
kai-shek's government is one
of sheer courage and despera-
ton. A less stubborn man
would have given up long ago.
Chang holds on to the slender
hope that the American and
British troops will defeat the
japanese before he collapses or
before the Russian-controlled
Chinese armies take over the
government of China.
To Americans. Russia is an
ally. but to Chang Kai-Shek,
Soviet Russia can only be
neutral in China's most desper-
ate moment, but a neutral that
supports an insurgent army. In
fact. Chang has two fights on
his hands: He has to defend his
country against the Japanese
and against a Communist army
in China.
THE japanese strategy in this
l. war is now clear. They re-
treated from the outer zone:
they are being defeated in the
inner zone; but they are eStab-
fishing themselves on the main
land of Asia.
The Japanese are back TO-
their fundamental program of
getting China and nothing else,
program which I described
when the war started.
They are gambling on several
possibilities which I list in the
order of Importance as il must
