Perhaps no one knows just how
many millions of cigarettes have been
sent overseas to men in the armed
services And, of course. no one can
estimate how many more millions will
be forwarded before the war is ended.
But everyone should know, especially
members of labor organizations and
their families, that all cigarettes they
send to sailors, soldiers, coast guards
men, or others in the various units,
should bear the union label. This is

The CHINESE FORTRESS
(New \ Ork TimeS)

One of the main factors back of the
owl forecast of eighteen more months
of war with Japan is undoubtedly the
present situation in China. 1t would be
untrue to say that it couldn't be worse,
for it gives every prospect of growing
worse before it can be made better.
But Japan struck seven years ago at
the Marco Polo bridge, China might have
been likened to a vast fortress held by
weak defenders who were themselves
divided. On the north it was thanked by
the Japanese stronghold in Manchuria.
On the east and south it faced a sea con-
trolled by Japan. Westward it had access
to the world only through difficult ter
rain and dubious neighbors Japan swept
at once across the sea wall, seizlng every
important port and thrusting we'll in
land to establish firm lateral communi-
cations With these strong fingers she
felt she could strangle Chinese resist
ance at her convenience. If China then
received respite it was only because the
enemy was maturing a larger plan. This
was nothing less than the conquest of all
Asia.
In pursuance of that plan Japan
promptly sealed off the western Chinese
border The outbreak of general war in
the Orient only made China's own posi-
tion more forlorn, but she still held her
inner territory. Gradually. however,
Japan's grandose plan began to fail. Her
farther Pacific outposts fell one after
another She lost control of the farther
ocean and the air Little by little China
began to get help, chiefly in the form of
an American air force This year for the
first time Japan seemed to realize that
China had become critical fighting
ground She threw everything she had
against the weakening Chinese forces.
All the doors in central China were bat
tered down. Now the Chinese are fight
ing from room to room with increasing, or
at least more openly revealed, signs of
decentralization. Kweilin, room uncOm-
fortably near the center of still free Chi
ma. seems almost ready for enemy occu-
pancy. Our fliers have had to leave 1t.
Only in the far west is there thin ray
of hope. Help is nearing the back door.
There the japanese have been driven
down from the Salween front. Unofficial
reports say that supplies are already
passing into China over the Ledo route,
though it is not yet an open highway.
But in the center the Chinese fortress
continues to crumble. That is the situa-
ton as of today, and it is bad one.

Americans Near
Po Valley City
In New Thrusfs

ROME, Oct. g. (UP)-American
troops, Spearheading the Fifth army
drive on Bologna, pushed to within
10 miles of that key city of Italy's
Po Valley Monday and the Ger
mans were reported fastening de-
fenseS in the foothills of the APP
ennines against the steady Allied
advance.
The Americans, moving nearly
two miles a cay, were driving north
ward along a triangular front Strad-
ding the main highway from Flor
ence with the Apex thrusting di-
rectly at Bologna.
The foremost troops continued
their steady advance on the high
way and swept to within 10 miles
of the city. A mile on either side of
the road, two other American col
umnS were keeping pace and swept
through Barbarolo and Monte Cas-
tellazi, both about II miles from
Bologna.
Other American forces, thruSting
northeaStward toward Imola cap
tured the village of Monte Morosino
and Poggio Del Falchetto to bring
their lines within eight miles of
the big road and rail junction.
Along the 12-mile front between
Bologna and Imola, there were
growing indications that the Ger
mans intended to put up a heavy
fight to stave off an Allied break
through into the Pc Valley.
Reports from the front said the
Germans were throwing into the
battle fresh infantry units and
bringing up additional heavy artil-
lery in an attempt to check the
Allied advances.

Dewey Demands
Aid to China,
Polish Freedom

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 8. tUP)--
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, placing
more emphasis on foreign policy as
his campaign for the presidency
nearS the final stages, said Monday
the United States must speed "and
even greater degree of aid to China
as soon as possible
Dewey made the declaration in a
proclamation designating Tuesday
Free China Day 1t followed close
" his assertion that Poland must
be made a free and independent ma
tion after the war and that secrecy
of present Polish discussions should
be lifted for the American people.
I'VE in this country. for the last
three years comrades in arms with
the people of China, have sent mill
tary aid, however inadequate, to
our Allies across the Pacific he
laid. The people of America have
come forward also as private citi-
zenS with contributions for China
relief. Nevertheless, today China
finds herself in more desperate
condition than at any time since
the beginning of the japanese in
vaSiOn."
1T is our obligation to our Chi
nese ally, to the speediest possible
defeat of Japan, and to a strong
and lasting peace after victory, to
speed an ever greater degree of aid
to China as soon as possible he
said.
DeWcys statement dealing with
Poland was made Sunday when he

FEDERAL EMpLOYE ROLL
STILL ON THE INCREASE

In spite of insistent demands of over
burdened taxpayers and attempts of eco
nomic minded congressman in both par
ties the roster of federal employees climbs
steadily This is revealed in the last
available report issued by the special
senate committee on reduction of nom
essential federal expenditures.
For the four month period ended Aug
ust 1, according to this report lOl.l49
names were added to the rolls and 5103
stricken making a total increase for May,
June July and August of 96O46.
These figures do not include war de
partment civilian employees outside con-
tinental United States This bracket at
the end of July totaled 252,97S.
The committee reported grand total
including the outside list of 3,365.943 at
the end of July. Partial reports show
that at the end of September this total
had been increased.
In other words. one out of every forty

try was on the federal payroll.
Senator Harry F. Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia heads this committee. For his
efforts. and he constantly Is pleading
for reduction in this tremendous en-
penditure. he has been ostraciSed and re-
pudiated by the new deal administration.
He has been on the purge list ever since
he lifted his voice demanding economy
in government and that has been over
period of twelve years,
Said Senator Byrd in his current re-
port:
When we realize that the ratio of Fed
eral civilian employees to state civilian
employees is now about Z to l, it is further
evident that the Federal government is
considerably over-staffed. About five
per cent of the working population of the
United States works for the executive
branch of the federal government, ap
proximately 100000 people, Approx
mately ten per cent of these are in Wash
ington, d. c. area; another ten per cent
in the state of New York, and approx
matelY nine per cent IN California. The
remainder are scattered across the other
46 states. If this army of federal en-
ploves were lined up four abreast in mill
tary formation, the line would reach
from Washington, ID. c. to New York
City.
Promises to meet the committees de-
mands and start in reducing the load
recently have been made by the President
and Senator Truman, new deal candidate
for. Viee=president.
What dependence can be placed III
these promises when the record shows
that month by month the number has
been on the increase? If these promises
have not materialized in the months past,
what chance is there that there will be
any reduction before the November Z
election? And if the new deal is retained
in power is there any reason to believe
these promises, luke warm as they are,
will be rep1pmhprpd and a start made to
relieve the terrific load being carried by
the taxpayers?

NEW WAGE CHANGES
Chairman Davis of WLB has indl-
Gated that the board might come up
with recommendations for changes
in wage policy different from the
changes demanded by the labor un-
ions. The inference in this impor-
tant statement is that the board
might be thinking more about pre-
venting wage reductions after the
war. when the economic objective
will be to maintain purchasing pow
.6r, and consumption.

AS the War Labor Board is
conducting its public hearings on
petitions of labor organizations to
break the Little Steel Formula. 1t
will be confronted with pleas that
the issue be settled on the basis OF
the unions specific demands, and
not en- the basis of some trick new
theory, setting up a postwar wage
policy, or as a political football to
be kicked around till after the cleo
ton.
Labor leaders are beginning to in
fer that they are finding 1t more
and more difficult to held their un-
ions in line. The wage issue has
been around since last November,
and at recent union conventions the
leaders had hard time keeping
the rank and file from voting to
abandon the no-strike pledge. Three
times the repeal of that pledge bare
ly escaped passage at the Auto
Workers convention, and it Is still
to be decided by a referendum OF
the more than a million members
in this biggest union in the world.
The Rubber Workers convention
also had a close call because some.
of their biggest locals wanted to re-
peal the pledge. BY scme standards,
the United Mine Workers have al
ready broken the pledge through
their countenancing of strikes of
supervisory employees. And so it goes.
'POWERHOUSE' BACKS MOVE
Unions now involved in demands
to break the Little Steel formula
include the entire AFL, and in the
CIO, the Steelworker5, the Elec-
trical. Aluminium, Glass. Auto, Pack
