were sworn enemies for years. Mr..
Courtney stands we'll with the voters
and probably better with those down
State than any other Democrat who
could be nominated. 1t is a Kelly move
for Mr.. Roosevelt.
The failure of the Democrats to place
the Presidents name on the presidential
preference ballot in Illinois, Wisconsin
and Nebraska is Interpreted as con-
fession of weakness on the part of the
fourth-termers. He has no opposition
to amount to anything for the delega-
tions which will go to the Democratic
National Convention He would have
had no Democratic opposition in the
preference primaries. What the Demo-
Gratis apparently feared, however, was
that the vote cast for him in these pri-
maries would have been so small. as
compared to the vote cast in the Re
publican primary, that the results would
have had bad psychological effect.
The vote cast in the Illinois prefer
ence primary is merely advisory-not
binding 1t was ruled in 1910 that a
candidates name could be entered with
out his personal assent. The Presidents
name was placed on the 1910 preference
primary ballot. The Democrats were
all ready this year to enter his name

decided not to do So
AS in the Wisconsin presidential pref
erence primary, the name Of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur is filed in the Illinois
primary. Here is another opportunity
to get some idea of the popular senti-
ment for Gen. Macarthur. True, he
has no opponent in the primary except
Riley A. Bender of Chicago, an unknown.
Nevertheless, If there is Macarthur
strength, it will develop in the voting.

films, books and propaganda in recent
years. Many students of Russian history
believe Peter the Greats career and
policy are a source of great inspiration
to Stain. Excerpts from this will of
Peter the Great may prove of suggestive
value today in attempts to solve the
So-called Russian enigma"
The bravura opening is colorful: "The
Russian nation must be constantly on
war footing to keep the soldiers war
like and in good condition. BY
this means peace is made subservient to
war, and war to peace, in the interest
of the aggrandizement and increasing
prosperity of Russia"
In view of recent pronouncements in
Moscow, 1t is interesting to note that
Peter said: mo opportunity must be lost
of taking part in the affairs and dis
putes of Europe. especially those Of
Germany"
Today, with the controversy over Po-
land rising, the following attracts at
tention: Poland must be divided by
keeping up constant jealousies and con-
fusion there. We must get I'D a
parry u our own IIleTe, SenQ RuSSldN
troops into the country and let them So
journ there so long that they may ulti-
mately find some pretext for remaining
there forever. Should the neighboring
states make difficulties, we must appease
them for the moment by allowing them a
share of the territory until we can
safely resume what we have thus given
away" Is this foreshowing of the
Free Polish Government" under Wanda
WasileWska?
There is even a precedent for the
'Free Germany Committee" now active
in Moscow to disrupt Nazi morale and
formed of the aristocratic members of
the ReichsWehr. This is how Peter did
it: "The consorts of Russian princes must
always be chosen from among the Ger
man princes, in order to multiply our

we are not guided by any precise stat
utory definition of work or employ
ment."
The employers in the present instance
sought to rely on custom and agree
ments arrived at through collective bar
gaining wherein the compensation al
ways had been determined specifically
so as to exclude portal-to- portal pay.
Indeed, the director of the legal depart
ment of the United Mine Workers of
America on July 9, 1910, requested the
wage and hour administrator to ac-
cept the definition embodied in the
Appalachian agreement which, he de-
clared, embodied the customs and ira
ditions of the bituminous mining indus
try for so years and excluded portal
to-portal time from the work-week.
The wage and hour administrator ac-
cepted that definition, but then on
March %, l94l, changed his mind and
announced that miners could sue for
past overtime and penalties" under the
law.
The Justices who concurred in the
decision of the Supreme Court were
Murphy. Reed, Black, Rutledge, Frank
furter, jackson and Douglas, whereas
Chief Justice Stone and Justice Roberts
dissented
Now there is much to be said in favor
of compensating employees for time
consumed on the premises of an en-
ployer from the time they are sched-
uled formally to report for duty until
they leave company property, and it
seems only fair that some compensa-
tion be granted for this time. But

years, to subject employers to the

and is rendered so difficult to reinforce
and supply by the loss of Kolomea that
1t begins to look as though the Germans
would be compelled to fall back to the
passes Of the Carpathian Mountains
before they will be able to stabilize
their front.
At the southern end of this mountain
line they might try to hold the Focsani-
Galatz gap between the mountains and
the estuary of the Danube, following
roughly the line of the Siret River. This
mountain and river line is stronger de-
fenslvely by far than any position the
Germans have hitherto occupied against
the Russians, so far as natural features
are concerned. It's communications bv
rail and highway and by the Danube
River run through Hungary and Ru-
mania, and the extension of full German
control over those countries is un-
doubtedly motivated by German de-
termination to guard these lines of
supply.
1t is quite likely that the Germans, if
they can, will attempt delaying action
on one or more of the numerous water
lines intervening between Nikolaev and
Odessa, will stand siege at Odessa itself
and will try to hold at least part OF
the lower Dniester, with corresponding
line extending from the Dniester to the
Carpathians. in order to gain as much
time as possible for the fortification of
the Foscani-Ga gap and the i'm
provement of the defenses of the lower
Danube.
But it does not now seem possible that
the Germans can avoid heavy losses in
the Southwestern Ukraine nor that they
can maintain themselves for any length
of time in the northern and central
parts of Bessarabia or in Bukovina.
When considering the possibilities of
this Carpathian defense line, 1t is
natural to ask how its northern end is

The Luftwuffe's Shyness

In recent days, despite a con-
tinuation of heavy British and
American air attacks, the LuftWaffe
has become conspicuous by its alb
sence over Western Europe. Neither
by gOading challenges to it's person.
mel nor by injury to it's bases and
to the factories that produce for
it have our forces been able to flush
it up for showdown battle. 1t has
held fast to the ground, only to have
a considerable number of it's craft
destroyed there. BY and large, with
the exception of yesterdays action
over Brunswick, it has let antiair-
craft fire do its job for it during the
past week, our bombers and fighters
meeting little resistance other than
fax.
The answer to this mysterious
inactivity may we'll be the simple
and obvious one that the LuftWaffe
has been rendered at least tenn
porarily groggy by the fact that our
American gunners alone have in the
last eight weeks destroyed a total
of 2,100 of its planes-an average of
better than 260 weekly or 81 daily.
Such attrition must bite deep. 1t
must have a telling effect not only
on the morale of the Nazi Air Force
but on it's ability to maintain re-
silent organization capable of
absorbing heavy losses on one day
and of still bouncing back to cope
with fresh attacks on the day fol-
lowing. Blows delivered against it's
productive plant and combat squad
rons have clearly weakened it. and
to that extent it's recent shyness is
understandable
Yet this explanation does not
quite satisfy our Allied air COM
manders. They feel that the Luft-
waffe's first-time battle strength is
still undiminished and that the
Nazis could. if they wished, offer
powerful opposition to our heavier
attacks. What is difficult to under
stand is that they have recently re-
Trained from doing so. even though
some of those attacks have unques-
tionably hurt the Luftwaffe by dam
aging it's substance on the ground
at airflelds-and by cutting its re-
placement capacity with great
