Service Act Setback

The decision of the House Military
Affairs Committee to lay aside the
Presidents request for national
service act pending further de-
velopments" marks a very definite
setback for this proposed wartime
legislation. There is no reason to
believe. however, that the action of
the House committee is out of tune
with majority sentiment on Capitol
Hill.
In the week that has passed since
the Presidents request went to the
Capitol, two things have become
clear.
One is that Congress will not pass
a national service law merely to en-
able the Government to deal with
wartime strikes. This does not imply
any disposition to condone or ig-
more the strikes. There is strong
feeling against them, and the
chances are that the President, if he
wants it, can secure passage of effec-
tive legislation aimed directly at
preventing strikes which interfere
with the prosecution of the war.
But he has little if any chance of
securing national service law as a
solution for this specific problem.
1t has become clear that most
members of Congress will oppose a
national service law unless there is
a convincing showing of a broad
military need for it. The suggestion
that it would shorten the war has
failed to make the desired impress
sion. The legislators want specific
information as to the production
problems which remain to be solved
and how service act would help to
solve them. General statements of
the desirability of such a law will
not be enough, and this should be
kept in mind by the witnesses sched-
uled to testify in favor of the legis-
lation, beginning today, before the
Senate Military Affairs Committee.
Finally, it is essential to recognize
that under the most favorable cir
cumstances the administration still
will have to exert a determined
effort to secure favorable act On in
Congress. Since sending up his
recommendation, there is no indica-
ton that the President has sought
to line up support for his program.
Yet it is quite evident that if he
wants national service act he will
have to fight as hard for it as he
fought for some of the reform legis-
lation put through in his first and
second administrations.
Evening star., 1944-01-19

under wartime conditions, these grades
are temporarily granted wherever re-
quired.
Probably American reluctance to grant
high military rank has been partially
due to the fact that we have rarey
had peace establishments either military
or naval which warranted very much
rank AS sur forces grew larger. 1t
took little time to overcome old preju-
oices. Now we seem to be faced with
the need for even higher grades than
general and admiral Most foreign
armies and navies have such higher
grades. The British have one rank
higher than our "4-star" rank. which is
called Field Marshal, Admiral of the
Fleet or Marshal Of the Royal Air Force.
In the German, French and Russian
armies there are two grades higher than
our four stars. At the present time the
chief of staff of British Army and the
senior British military representative in
Washington are both field marshals, the
chief of the naval staff is an admiral
of the fleet; the chief OF the air staf1
is a marshal of the Raj. The chief OF
staff of the Russian Army is marshal
of the Soviet Union. Knowing how
important rank, and the prestige OF
rank, is among military men. 1t would
seem advisable for some higher grade
to be authorized, at least temporary
for our Army and Navy. In one respect.
the Navy will have an advantage. The
new admiral of the fleet needs only
add one more stripe on his sleeve or
one more star on his fiat gold shoulder
strap but it will take little figuring
to find tasteful arrangement for five
stars on the narrow shoulder strap Of
the olive drab Army blouse.

complete candor. It is obvious that
the German people know the situation

But 1t Is also important that this
article was written before the Teheran

appeared on the same day, but must
have been written before. The Teheran
statement deals a heavy blow to the
speculation that Russia may give CIT

1t does prove, however that the Ger

London.
There is therefore little left of t,i5
whole strategy except the hope of bre. =
ing down the American will. So We
may expect that the mouthpieces CT
Germany in this country will do every-
thing to build up American losses in
lives and materiel in the next months.
In the light of this I think 1t unwise
OF our Government to make such pessi-
mistic forecasts.
Symptoms that this German propa-
ganda is already under way showed
themselves when in reporting a recent
raid on Germany the German reports
doubled our losses.

Coal Mine RuIino

Attorney General Biddle's ruling
that Secretary Ickes need not re-
turn the coal mines to their owners
at this time has a substantial basis
IN common sense. But it is another
matter to find persuasive authority
for 1t in the language of the Smith
Connally Act.
The Government seized the mines
under the provisions of this act
after the most recent of the series of
strikes resulting from the wage dis
pute between John L. Lewis and the
War Labor Board. There is a sec
ton OF the statute, however, which
requires the Government to return
the mines to their owners not later
than sixty days after they have
been restored to productive eff
ciency," and it was an interpreta-
ton of this language which Mr..
1ckes had sought from the Attorney
General.
1t was conceded that so far as the
tonnage of coal produced was con-
cerned, the productive efficiency of
the mines had been restored. But
since a new contract satisfactory to
the miners had not been agreed
upon the threat of another strike
remained in the picture, and Mr..
Biddle held that this factor should
be taken into account. "To hold that
/ return OF possession (of the mines)
is required in the face of threat
ened recurrence of strikes or work
stoppages," he said, would compel
the Government to go through the
idle ceremony of relinquishing pos
session under one executive order
and retaking possession under an
other"
AS has been said, this is the
common-sense view of the matter,
for the alternative of returning the
mines and then seizing them again
upon recurrence of the strike soon
would reduce this exercise of the
OoFSAAAAiACAlO . wal W
a patent absurdity. But however
sensible this view may be, it is not
an entirely satisfying answer to the
statute.
The law says that the mines must
be returned not later than sixty
days after their productive efficiency
is restored. It says nothing about
holding seized property until the
last threat of future strike has
been removed, and, on the record,
it is exceedingly doubtful that Con-
gress had any such thought as that
reflected in Mr.. Biddle's ruling.
If the Attorney Generals interpre-
tation of the law is valid, then it
follows that any irresponsible labor
leader, by the mere threat of
strike, can cause the Government to
retain seized property indefinitely,
no matter how guiltless the lawful
owner may be. and it is difficult to
believe that Congress, in passing the
antistrike law, intended any such
