The facts are these: On April II,
1913, Arthur Mishaw, a compost
tor of 80 years experience in the
printing trade, was hired in that
by the Fairfield News.
Upon reporting for work he was
assigned to tasks which for the
most part we're those of a porter
and not of compositor. Within
a short time he terminated his en-
plOyment and requested from his
statement of available
ity" but his request was denied. A
statement of availability is a GER
tlficate adopted by the War Man
power Commission Ito promote the
orderly transfer and movement of
workers to prevent pirating, undue
migration, excessive turnover and
absenteeism of workers and to in
sure the most effective utilization
and mobilization of labor" 1t is a
device initiated solely in the inter-
est of national defense and the
prosecution of the war and is predi-
Gated on federal authority. 1t is
defined as a written statement is
sued to an essential worker by his
last employer to the effect that he
is free to accept employment else
where in an essential activity.
Without such Statement of avail
ability" other indus tries will moi
hire the @rker until 90 days have
elapsed following the severance of
his relations with the prior EN-.
ployer. There is nothing in the
Connecticut laws requiring the
possession of any such statement .
The commissioner who heard the
claim for benefits found that MiShaw
was justified in leaving the employ
OF the Fairfield News because, among
other things, of the character of the
work he was required to perform
and that he was arbitrarily and I'M
justly refused the statement of avail
ability he had sought. However, the
commissioner concluded that, though
Mishaw was totally unemployed, and
was. physically and mentally able tc
work and ready and willing to accept
any suitable job, he was not available
for work, as required by the act, in
that he did not have a Statement of
availability" His conclusion was that
Mishaw was thus rendered ineligible
for the immediate benefits of the
act. 1t was this conclusion that Dana
her appealed to the Superior Court.
Judge O'SuIlivan, in his decision,
says that the Conn. u. C. Act in
cOrporates no definition of the
phrase available for work" nor
has one been formulated by any
Connecticut court nor, $50 far as
l can find, by that of any other
state having comparable language
in its unemployment compensation
act. The dictionary defines avail.
able as disable; capable of being
used to accomplish purpose, and
if it is in this broad sense that the
word is to be construed, Mishaw is
not available for work. For, while
he is available for work from his
point of view, he is not available
from that of would-be employers.
Il cannot agree, however, that such
a broad construction should be en-
tertained. To do so would oppose the
plain purpose of the act and lead to
results quite at odds with the mani

months and perhaps even years. And
in insisting that such stocks move
through normal tradeIchannels, the
danger of few spectators getting
hold of big blocks of food and
throwing markets out of kilter will
be eliminated.
The disposal problem promises to
be complicated by the pledge to
farmers that they will receive 30 per
cent of parity for two years after the
war. AS VIA with one hand moves
to dispose of war-acquired stocks
with a minimum harm to the food
trade, it may with the other hand be
buying up newly-harvested farm
products in order to support prices.
Should this develop, domestic con-
sumption may be increased through
another food stamp plan similar to
the one in operation between 1899
and l943. through community school
lunch programs, and by direct dis
tribution to institutions, the encour-
aging of food exports and the diver
sion of food to feed. Congress would
be asked to legislate in any event.
AS final alternative, the Govern
ment may have to turn to destruc-
ton of what stocks remain. Food
planners hope they may never come
to that but look to the day when
American agriculture has made its
shift to peacetime production with a
minimum of the disaster that over
took farming after the last war.

British military circles about new
German secret weapons which may
take the shape of almost anything
from a new type of gun to electrical
or chemical gas warfare. Unques-
tionably Hitler means to sell his
hide dearly and no longer cares
what the cost may be to the Reich
or the rest of the world he Is fight
ing.
Whether he will be followed to the
end by this new organization which
he is rapidly setting up is a matter
of conjecture. Whether the people
of the Reich are imbued by the same
spirit of destruction as their leader
also Is a matter of speculation
where one mans guess is as good as
another,s.
But 1t is safe to say that if q feel
ing of detection and hopelessness
rises among the German people and
is communicated to the fighting men
at the front the desperate efforts of
Hitler and his associates are doomed
to failure. In that case the disrup-
ton of the German fighting forces
will be speedier than is generally ex-
pected.
If, on the other hand, the new
commanders succeed In stalling the
Allies on either or both of the fronts,
Hitler may succeed in galvanizing
Germany into a desperate nation
and the war may last even longer
than the most pessimistic observers
predict. Germany Is corroded; the
latest developments have proved
this. But the depth of the corrosion

generals understood the strategy of
global war but did not understand
the psychology of global war. Hitler
and his henchmen do. They realize
that the defeat of Germany will be
total this time They know that
millions of able-bodied Germans
who are in the army or ready to en-
ter it will be exported to Russia and
possibly to some of the area in
Western Europe to restore the total
destruction perpetrated by the Ger
man armies in their retreat.
Turns to Fanatics.
This will be a job which may last
10 years or more. Hitler knows that
he can expect no mercy from the
Allies and that the defeat of Ger
many this time will put the clock of
the Reich back several generations.
Thus he had to do away with all
those who were leaning toward a
compromise" with the enemy and
ordered a fight to the bitter end, re-
gardless Of the extent of the destruc-
ton to Germany and the rest of
Europe. In order to make this fight
1t was essential that only fanatical
men, regardless of their military
skill, should be placed at the head of
the German armies. Hitler is said to
believe that so long as the factories
can produce enough good equipment

says Mr. Waller. but not so much
as pensions paid out in driblets for

the immediate benefit plan, If 1t is
administered properly, will ac-
complish practical good for the vet
eran, while pensions, which are
seldom adequate for complete sup
port, serve mainly to pauperize...
This is what Mr.. Waller recon-
mends to our lawmakers in their
dealing with the rehabilitation
problem, and he prefaces his recom-
mendation with long study Of
veteran psychology and legislation
drawn from our past experience.
One cannot escape thinking that he
has lot of solid arguments to sup
port him.
sTo the veterans themselves he
urges organization, pointing out
that the American Legion has been
a sound and wholesome influence in
our country since its founding. Its
social service. he says, has been
practical and efficient, and its DO

themselves correct more often than
not. His book is somewhat repeti-
tious, but offers sensible approach
to a great and imminent question.
Simone ~
By Lion Feuchtwanger. fVik.
tngJ
In May 1910, when the NaZis broke
into France, Lion Feuchtwanger,
exiled German novelist, was interned
by the French. Much of the conver-
sation in the concentration camp
had to do with the miracles" which
had saved France on two previous
occasions of extreme peril-the
Battle OF the Marne and the deeds
of Joan of Arc Mr.. Feuchtwanger
found himself thinking more and
more about the Maid of Orleans.
After the armistice, American
friends kidnapped him from the
camp and hid him in their home.
There he met girl of about Is who
reminded him of Joan. Il saw Joan
prepared to act and to compre-
hend," he says. Il saw her pursued
by her enemies; and it was less the
enemies from the other side of the
frontier than those within the land.
l saw Joan stand before the court,
and l saw her realize who, in truth,
had brought France to her downfall:
Not Englishmen, but Frenchmen.
- saw how she was caught in
the nets of her enemies, the eternal
ever-present Fascists."
Thus the inspiration for "Simone,"
the story Of Joan of Arc retold in
modern terms and, of course, with
variations suggested by the present
war. 1t was an exciting story when
Joan lived it, and it is an exciting
story now. But it has been told so
many times by SO many writer's as
to become somewhat shopworn.
And Mr. Feuchtwanger's variations,
which are many, and his writing
skill, which is considerable, fail to
make it seem new.
PHILIP H, LOVE.
