Prelude to the Big Push

English and Canadian forces in Holland are fighting and winning one ot the war most important battles. It is not one o1 the spectacular battles, as compared With the invasionS of France and the Phlllp- pines. the dash across France, or even the reduction of Aachen. But it will certainty rank as one of the decisive steps toward Allied victory. Slugging doggedly, strlK- ing brilliantly with Commando tactlcS, fighting waist deep in water for posses sion of a rise of ground, these tough, stout-hearted fighters have struggled for the great prize of Antwerp. And soon supplies for the invading Allies will be streaming through this great port. Then it can safely be prophesied that the really big pushes will commence. Antwerp IS one of the worlds chief harborS and ports. It was so 400 years ago, when as many as 800 ships would enter the harbor III one day, 1000 foreign merchants were num- bered among the cosmopolitan popula- tion, and 2,000 carts week would Jumper in and out with the goods of flourlshlng European commerce. By the treaty o1 kuenSter the Schelde was closed to navl. gation from 1648 to 1863, with two brle1 interruptions. But in the years that iol- lowed the reopening Antwerp agaln pc, came a 1QdJOI pOAG NoGCA CT A
 waterways were supplemented by a sys- tenn of canals. These, with the growing Allied hold on rail transportation in llb- erated France and Holland, will soon be speeding materiel almost to the fronts from Antwerps 30 miles of docks.
 Of course the Germans have destroyed many installations. But they cannot hope to impede Allied progress seriously, not with the bitter knowledge they already have of Allied engineering ingenuity and improvisation. The inspir- ation that led to the floating concrete harbors lowed from Britain (which Ger man air reconnaissance saw but couldn't fathom) enabled the beachhead to become the worlds second largest port in the early days of the invasion. Only New York harbor accommodated more trat- fic. The trucks of the "Redball Express" and the engineers who laid oil pipelines almost as fast as the armies could march formed connecting link between the improvised harbor and the fighting men.
 It has been supreme teamwork, to the glory of c. l. stevedores and truck drlv- CTS as well as infantrymen. Now, with Antwerp at the Allies disposal, the Nazls can prepare themselves as best they can for the final, smashing blows.

A Thought for Today
One Nation

Americans will choose President to- day just as they have every four years, m peace and war. Tomorrow, again just as always, Americans will remove the cam paign buttons from their lapels and once more become citizens of the United StateS, not Democrats and Republicans.
 This discarding of campaign buttons is always symbolical, for we discard most of our animosities with them. The storm of political feeling is swept away, wltn only few disappointed die-hards stlI grumbling like distant thunder. But tnlS year we need to be sure that all anfmoS- ity vanishes quickly, for time is precious and much remains to be done. We must close ranks behind the newly electeo President and Commander-in-Chief.
 We must remember that the majority has spoken and decided, and that 1t has spoken freely at time when such free dom is particularly precious. We must remember that the greatness of America is America itself-itS millions, not Ine leaders or parties that come and go.
 And we must remember that the world looks to that America of the millions to- day, to it's strength and it's freedom ana its decency for hope and help. It is only nation undivided and indivisible that can maintain that strength, preserve that freedom, and enhance that reputation for decency in the world Of nations.

Lessons From Hitler

Armistice Day, November II, marks the close of American Education Week, which this year had for it's theme, "Edu- cation for New Tasks" Some of the new tasks certainly relate to the duties mentioned above. And for lesson in how to do them we might examine the methods of Adolf Hitler
 Hitler did thorough job of educating, if notification can be dignif1ed by that name. And the task of de-nazifying Ger man youth after the war is going to be long and difficult one. For Hitler real ized the importance of education, and expended great effort to use it for his ends.
 However loathsome the result, the process might give us some ideas. If, in addition to concentration on the reg ular curriculum and specialized training, our educators could teach tolerance as zealously as Hitler taught bigotry, and understanding as painstakingly as he taught racial inSu1arity, we might be taking long step toward better world.

pouts a little about the fact that some twenty nations of the world, many of them members of the United Nations, rave no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union
 Here at Home, one of the big groups is being described as working its head of trying to build up a monopoly of the American Air Force, and the num-. Der two group is fighting with might and main to prevent such a monopoly, be- cause it has nice wholesale plans of its own for flying the skies.
 Evidently something will have to be done with all these hundreds of thou sands of planes which appear to have more capacity than there is room for in the Skies-even should plan be made for traffic cops in all parts of the heavens. Nowhere in the controversy does there seem to be any space left for considera- tion of railroads, automobiles and good old horses and buggieS

connection with wedding feast, One of His great miracles was the wedding of the five thousand. After His resurrection, He re- revealed Himself to certain of His disciples as they were fishing on the Sea of Galilee, and when they came ashore they saw a fire of coals, and fish laid theron, and bread" AS the climax of His ministry among men, Jesus instituted what is known as The Lords Supper, and this came at the close of the eating of the Passover meal.
 When we break bread with any one. we acknowledge our friendship to them and our relationship with them. The experience of eating has been carried over in religion as a sign and a seal of our fellowship with each other and with God.
 So let us not despise the modern church supper and speak disparag- ingly of its preparation, as if it were not 8 high type of Christian service. It can be carried too far, and this type of service can be substituted for witnessing and other purely spiritual endeavor. But food brings people together in fellowship and fellowship is one of the most important factors in the Christian life. We believe in ''The Communion Cor fellowship of the saints"

Dr. Alexis Carrel

Winned of the Nobel Prize in 1912 pr. Alexis Carrel was notable figure in the medical world. He was co-developer of the artificial heart, man of many experiments on the spectacular side. He undoubtedly contributed much to the medical profession. Recent accusations against him on charges of collaboration" broke his heart, it is said.
 In World War he was receiving no little attention with his famous Carrel- Dakin antiseptic solution which is said to have saved many lives at that time. Though born in France he spent con- siderable time here and was associated with the Rockefeller Institute for Medi- cal Research. While his extreme ideas in surgery and biology may not have had the approval of all the medical profes- sion he accomplished many important things and was duly honored for his contributions to medical science.

She added that she knew War ner Brothers were for Roosevelt, but she wanted to do some work on the other side.
 To this Harry Warner wired back, telling her to take the time off she wanted and adding:
 "ISn't this a wonderful cOun- try where you can be for Dewey, I can be for Roosevelt and we can all be good friends after the election"
 To which words, this columnist would like to say Amen and add that it's an even more wonderful country than most of us realize, because probably no other major nation in the world could weather a wartime election of such impor- tance.
 Great Britain has not had a na- tional election for nine years. Bra gil has not had one in over dozen years. Canada and various other British dominions, where, &C., cording to political scientists, de- mocracy flourishes even more lux uriantly than here, have had no national wartime elections.
 On the oiher hand, Cuba, though a belligerent, has held a presi- dential election. Perhaps the U. s. A. can take a little second- hand pride in the Cuban election, because the Cubans were going along with our example.
 Anyway, it takes a strong de- mocracy, a tolerant democracy, to withstand the brickbats, the name calling, the savagery of what has been the most difficult campaign since the 1864 campaign between Lincoln and McClennan.
 And now that it's over and we have demonstrated that we can do it, let's all get on with the war. PETTICOAT POLITICS

ON DICTION ALONE
(New York Sun)

(New York Sun)
 Hearty approval of both major party candidates for President is so uncommon, in a campaign that 1t deserves a little notice when itfdoes appear. It is provided in one in- stance by Professor Joseph F. O'Brien of Pennsylvania State Col- lege, who finds that in the matter of diction Franklin D. Roosevelt and Thomas E. Dewey are first rate verbal combatants." Professor O'Brien is SO tactful that he does not give a hint of which candidate he rates the higher on this point. He finds their speech to be of dif- ferent schools and styles, to be sure, but each is good in his own school the President as master of the informal conversational style and Governor Dewey as master of teh hard-striking style of the prosecu- tor. Professor O'Brien does not explain one point. When a voter of the "eether" school is confronted with two candidates of the "eyther" school, what is he to do?

Skies Seem Not Big Enough

Every nation in the World wants to dv its own way after the war. Several of the big companies in the Big Three countries are claiming superiority in dence that they are not going to get to- pether and agree on any sky-charters. Our buddy Russia hatly rejected an in- vitation to enter an international avia- ton conference in Chicago, and gave as its objections the presence of Swift zerland, Portugal and Spain, which Mos cow describes as having for years been on bad terms with the Soviet Union. on the other hand, the United States is rather keen to have the Azores, Por- tugal and Spain included on new Amer Ican routes to European capitals, and the middle and far East.

Clayton made a speech before the Women's Democratic Club on the subject, why l. Am for the Re- election of Franklin Roosevelt" Behind that speech was lot of feminine wire-pulling-chiefly by gracious Mrs. Clayton.
 Mrs. Clayton is lady of both force and charm. Frequently she differs with her husband. When he contributed $7,O00 to the Lib- erty League against Roosevelt in 1886, she contributed $7,000 to help Roosevelt.
 In this years campaign, Mrs. Clayton wanted it definitely un- derstOOd that her husband was for Roosevelt. She went, there fore, to Mrs. Will H. Davis, wife of the chairman of the War La- bOr Board and herself chairman of the program committee of the WOmen's Democratic Club, sug- geSting that Clayton speak before the club.
 Mrs. Davis gladly agreed. Then Mrs. Clayton, to make doubly sure that her husbands position was understood, arranged personally for a radio hookup. Will Clay ton was against the President in 1886, but there is no question about where he has stood in 1944. HILLMAN WOULD END PAC
 Sidney Hillman didn't advertise it but during the last days of the campaign, he took steps to disband his controversial Political Action Committee. The final decision will not be up to him alone, for the whole thing will be threshed out at the CIO national conven- tion in Chicago Nov. 20. But not waiting for the convention, Hill- man alrtady has sent notice to most of the 200 members of the PAC staff that they go off the payroll November 15.
 Originally PAC was set up as permanent organization, and there are several schools of thought inside the CIO regard ing its continuation. One group including auto workers president R. J. Thomas, wants to keep PAC alive. Hillman, on the other hand, wants to shut up shop, concentrate on New York politics, and also get his health back.
 NOTE: What most people don't realize is that Sidney Hillman was kicked out of the Roosevelt

Selected Poem
NOVEMBER BOY

(Mario Speracio in The New York Times) He scans the gadgets tempting boyish eyes: Toy -aeroplane, drum and picture books. His purchase is sheaf of autumn leaves That rustles with the wit of friendly brooks. There is a kinship with some countryside With trees that group beyond the edge of town, In owning this small share of autumn woods, The lustre of his hair is alder brown. The colors jaunt along the city street; We sense the moments joy in standing by. boy of ten with treasury of leaf Lends warmth enough to any autumn sky.

error. So, on the record, the jay isn't altogether a nest robber. But will he let the public know it? He will not!
 He commits his crimes with a flourish. He is brigand who de- mandS an audience. His exemplary life is lived in silence. As a matter of fact, he has a rather sweet little song, but not one person in a hun- dred ever hears it. He seems ashamed of it, and if he finds someone listening he turns it into a loud jeer and goes into vocal tantrums. Obviously, he enjoys his bad reputation.
 He seems to need no friends; to resent friendship, in fact. He will repay hospitality with noise and and violence. He will violate the simplest rules of behavior, appar- ently for the fun of being down right ornery. He's a character, all right. An unsavory character, in almost all his public appearances. But he is full of malicious fun and he is beautiful to look upon. He has his place-if he would only keep itI

Administration without so much as a thank-you note during the embryo days of the War Produc- tion Board shortly after Pearl Harbor, Hillman was then CO., administrator of the Office of Production Management with Gen. eral Motors Chief William Knud- sen, and was flat on his back with a serious illness when Roosevelt reorganized the entire Set-up out from under Hillman. Hillman did not know about it until he read III in the papers.
 POLITICAL CHAFF
 All during the war, FDR has been close reader of Carl Sand- burg's "Lincoln" and has con- tinued his reading during the campaign. Someone who dropped into his private study one day found a copy of the book open to Lincoln's war days .. Dur ing the 1864 campaign, Mc- Clellan's followers accused Lin- coin of squandering public funds, mismanagement of the Govern ment, destroying civil liberties. meddling with the war, and
 standing out for unconditional surrender Lincoln's follow CTS called the Mcclellan people "copperheads." Lincoln ran as Commander-inChief. He was helped materially by vital mili- tary victories, including the Bat tie of Mobile Bay and Sherman's march through Georgia, which gave proof of his effectiveness as commander. In the end, he car- ried all but three states in the Union-New Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky . In the 1940 Willkie- Roosevelt campaign, the House and Senate campaign investigat- ing committees compiled 40 pages of exhibits of scurrilous literature. They expect the total in this campaign to be much greater. Neither party is simon pure Last summer a young friend of COP Congressman Joe Martin asked his advice about running for office. The sage Martin re- piled: "I wouldn't get into this campaign unless had to. This is going to be as dirty and un- derhanded a campaign as the nation has ever seen. Stay away from it if you can."
