SCUTTLING SOLDIER VOTE

Through its self-appointed prerogatlve
of determining what was and what was
not political propaganda and its studied
refusal to cooperate in the plan to permit
soldiers overseas the chance to vote IN
the November election, the war depart
ment Well-nigh succeeded in Scuttllng the
whole program. Only through the prompt
challenge of Senator Taft of the armys
attitude and his speedy move to cure the
situation has the program been saved.
1t was Taft who foresaW new deal plans
to plant its own propaganda abroad.
He was able to amend the bill after
the ''bob-tal' ballot plan of the admins
tration was defeated, plan which would
have given the fighting men the privilege
of voting only for the communicating
chief" and a Republican candidate for
president His amendment was aimed to
prevent pure partisan and one-slded
statements only to be sent abroad. lie
had no thought that it would work other
than as it should - permit the men to
have access to the same printed data as
voters at home.
Then came the censoring army officials
and the stupid things they started to do
inflamed even the congressman who had
opposed Taft's amendment. The army
refused to send certain films, books ana
the like on the flimsiest Of excuses that
they contained partisan writing or m
terpretatOnS.
Fortunately the correction will be made
in time as there still remain six weeks
before overseas ballots can be marked.
In the meantime "bob-tail' ballot pro-
ponents see their arguments knocked into
a cooked hat. They said the soldiers
would not make requests for ballots, and
that the army could not transport the
full ballots as prescribed by the con-
stitution.
Wrong both ways. The army can and
will transport the ballots. Requests Tor
ballots are reaching state capitals by the
hundreds of thousands. In California
alone it is estimated 100000 fighters will
have made their calls by the deadline time.
The new deal can't keep its hands off
anything where its continuation in power
might be affected.

HIDING EFFECTS
OF WAR STRIKES

The strike of transit workers IN Phll-
adelpha which was permitted by the
President to go on for days without a
move to clear the situation Is another
example of how the administration at
tempts to minimize the effects OF such
unnecessary Interruptions.
OF course PRESIDENTIAL action was de-
layed and postponed because of the time
il took for dispatches to reach hlm and
return dispatches delivered while the
chief executive was vacationlng III the
Pacific. How much damage was done to
war output in the interim never may be
known. But when Secretary OF Labor
Perkins makes her report on man-hourS
lost through this strike 1t Will consider
only the 5000 idle men.
But there is the statement OF the char
man of the War Labor Board, William
H. Davis, in letter directed to President
Roosevelt which says that the strike cut
off transportation for 100000 people of
which at least 100000 were war workers.
Naturally the administration will not
give the facts because such facts would
indict its political-power-machine built by
union leaders with the able assistance OF
administration chiefs.
OF course Secretary Perkins should not
be held responsible. She couldn't get
the true statements past the double-cen-
sor, administration heads and her spon-
sor. Mrs. Mrs. Roosevelt. Such true
statements would indict the 'red-com-
plected" union racketeer leaders who have
the kindly thoughts and protection OF
the First Lady.
When it comes to statistics of this kind
depend upon it. the new deal knows It's
politics.

NAzI LOSSES POINT
TO DECENTRALIZATION
Sacramento Bee)

Supreme Allied headquarters in France
has announced that the total number of
German prisoners taken in the nine weeks
campaign in Normandy Is approaching
10000. or approximately 10 Of the 30 to
40 divisions which HKler is estimated to
have had in western Europe on D-day
Probably as many Germans have been
killed or wounded.
Cut the casualty figures in half and at
least one fourth of the German forces IN
France have been put out of action IN less
than two months.
And where are the reserves to come
from to make good these losses?
A bag of 100. 900 prisoners is not penny
ante stuff even in this global war. Nor
is it any reflection on the Valor OF the
Allied soldiers or strategy of the Allied
staff to say that a considerable number
of these German soldiers quit, not because
they had to- but because they wanted to.
They had had enough.
For instance. at Rennes, correspon-
dent tells of 1000 German troops left be-
hind for last stand defense, actually
marching out to meet the Americans in
order to surrender without firing a shot.
ANY army in which this sort of thing
becomes epidemic is defeated and de-
moralized
1t has lost its stomach to fight.
So the rising number of Nazi prisoners
taken in France can be watched as fore
cast of things to come.
1t. too. is a symptom of pernicious
anemia whose pathological story always
ends in death.

After a trip that took him into
21- states, HaWaii-Where he con-
ferred with top Pacific commanders
and the Aleutian islands. the
President came home with an ad-
mittedly new outlook on the war
effort in the Pacific and grimmer,
blunter than ever in his attitude
toward unconditional surrender by
the Axis enemies"
In a preSs-radio con er e n e
aboard his special train shortly
before it reached Washington, Mr..
Roosevelt seem d unperturbed
about some critics who said his Pa
cific trip had political motives. In
stead, he focused his attention on
the war problems Of reconverSion at

war operations.
He plans TO confer almost imme-
diately with his cabinet, his con-
gressional leaders, General George

OPTIMISM
Jacksonville Register-Paj jaronianJ

Jacksonville ReglSter-PaJ aronlahy
During the darkest days of the war,
Prime Minister WilstOn Churchill did not
hesitate to tell the people of Britain and
of the Allied nations the blunt truth even
when it hurts-aS it often does.
In view of this. his recent statement in
the house of commons that victory may
perhaps come soon" can be. taken as an
expression of his sincere conviction that
the end in Europe is apparently in sight,
But Mr. Churchill's statement could be
dangerous. If people could hear such
declarations and not in any way relax
their efforts towards final victory all
would be well. But that isn't the way Of
human nature.
Here in America, thousands of persons
have left war Jobs because they believe
the war is ''just about over The prime
minister's words will strengthen that be-
lief Yet there is a most urgent need
right now for increased production Of
heavy artillery, heavy trucks, bulldoZerS
and cranes, all of which are essential to
bring the conflict to a successful conclu-
sion
We should remember that no matter
how near the war in Europe is to its end,
it needs our full support on the home
front until the last shot is fired. And
we should remember too, that the war in
Europe is only half the battle. Japan is
still to be conquered and there is every
reason to believe that the last stages of
. the Pacific war will be the hardest
It's true that many women have jobs
that will end almost as soon as the war
does, but there are hundreds of thous-
ands in factories, like automobile and
aircraft plants who are going to fight
to keep their iobs.-Rep. William NJ. Col

MEASURE WOULD EXTEND u. S.
SOCIAL SECURITY AIDS

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. (UP) -
representative Thomas Rolph CR)
California, has introduced a bill to
extend the provisions of the social
security law to employees of public
utilities taken over by municipali-
ties from private ownership.
The bill is designed to bring un-
der social security the 100000 en-
ployes of the Market Street Railway
Co. which the city of San Francisco
intends to acquire, Rolph said.
Under present regulations these
workers would be considered as city
employees and as such ineligible for
cocial security.
Rolph said that it was manifest
ly unfair" that these Market Street
employees. who have been paying
into social security for years,
should be deprived of its benefits
simply because the city took over
control Ct tie line.

MAIN DEVELOPMENTS

With the start of the discussions

wide Importance was stressed by
these developments:

plan that would subject the world
to the "coercive power of the
United States. Russia, Britain and
China. which will join the confer
ence ut q later stage. His state
ment was regarded as a challenge
to proposals by President RooSe-
welt and Russia for a world organi-
zation where chief responsibility
for keeping the peace would rest
with four or five big powers.
?. Chairman Tom Connally, Cd,
Texas. Of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, revealed that the

Two Torpedo Boats Crash
During Raid : Some
Casualties Result

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST
PACIFIC, May 4. Gen. Douglas
Macarthur announced today that
bombers and fighters heavily raked
Rabaul in New Britain at the cost
of two planes.
Headquarters disclosed that last
Saturday, during an attack on Ra-
baul, two torpedo boats were lost in
a crash through the failure of the
raiders to recognize each other as
friendly and some casualties re-
suited.
The Tokyo radio last night an
nounced that a squadron OF Allied
motor torpedo boats made hit and
run raid on Rabaul. The broadcast
listed one boat as sunk and an
other damaged.
A spokesman said that in the lat
est operations at Hollandia and
Aitape, 100 Japanese were killed by
patrols. Previously more than 600
dead were listed in the same area,
which was invaded on April %.
Targets recently familiar in COM
muniques were mentioned again to-
day, Woleai IN the western Carolines
and the Schouten Island, north
west of Hollandia, when Liberators
hit them.
In the latest raid reported on Ra-
baul, Mitchells and fighter bombers
dropped 88 tons of explosives and
six gun positions were destroyed.
