tional defense and the prosecution of
the war caused the administration to
call halt on peace-time projects re-
quiring large sums of money. That
demands for money for such projects
will be renewed as expenditures for war
are lessened is entirely likely. More
conservative members of Congress will
oppose these demands because of the
staggering debt growing out of the war.
The President already is urging Con-
gress to go ahead with the ST. Lawrence
Seaway at a cost of more than $780,
00,000. most of which is to be paid by
the United States He also has expressed
a hope that In time the administration

On the legislative side of the book
there still hangs fire the proposed great
extension of the Social Security Act
the Wagner "cradle-to-the-grave" bill.
This provides, among other things, for
socialized medicine. It has been esti-
mated by opponents Of the proposal that
to put this measure into effect will cost
many billions Of dollars annually. The
measure has rested quietly in committee
throughout the present Congress. But
that it will be put forward again in the
new Congress, with embellishments,
seems entirely probable. 1t is expected
the measure will have strong support
from labor organizations.
What other So-called leftist proposals
for legislation are to come is still in the
conjectural stage. Strong representa-
tions in favor of having labor repre-
sented on managerial boards in industry
have been made in the recent past.
Whether any attempt will be made to
draft and put through Federal law
calling for such labor representation in
concerns doing an interstate business
remains to be seen.
Other grave problems which are likely
to come before the Congress have to do
with the disposition of federally owned
industrial plants. The total value of
these plants runs into astronomical
figures.
The question Of Federal tax revision
is to be another problem and whether
private business is to be given a better
break. The policy of the Government
has been to squeeze all it could out Of
industry to meet war requirements, and
before that to meet expenditures for
relief and New Deal projects.

BeIeium's Record
By D0vid Laurence

Eight million four hundred thousand
Belgians live on a stretch of land no
greater than the State of New Hamp-
shire in such density that there are 7l2
OF them to every square mile of terri
tory. About II per cent of them keep
to the soil, raising grain, flax and live
stock, and contributing one-sixth of the
national income. Industry is heavily
concentrated and transportation highly
developed. In the peak year of 1929
Belgium produced sos metric tons of
pig iron per 1,000 population (the
United States produced 355 tons) and
sol tons Of raw steel Ohe United States
produced 470). After metals, textiles
were most important industrially. Most
OF the raw materials came from abroad,
and In good years about so per cent Of
the product was exported. Belgiums
total foreign trade in 1887 amounted to
$205.24 per Belgian. British foreign
trade came to $163.05 per Englishman
and United States trade to $48 per

fore the war was one Of the highest on

ments from any distance to the front.
Marshal Gen. Gerd Won Rundstedt,
who commands the German western
defenses, Is the same man who opposed
Gen. Eisenhower last summer in Nor
mandy. He was then q strong exponent
OF the strategy that the German armies
must defend the Reich and not the oc-
cupied countries His view was then
that an Allied invasion could only be
delayed and the German strategy must
apply itself to the new situation to
reduce as much as possible the Nazi
commitments on all fronts outside the
Reich In order to concentrate the whole
strength Of the Wehrmacht within the
country.
This now has been achieved because
the Russian attacks In the Balkans have
compelled the Germans to withdraw
from wide area They lost about one
third Of their forces In this unwilling
operation, but succeeded in getting
back into the Reich at least 80 divisions
which had been spread as far as the
Balkan Mountains and the Eastern
Mediterranean. The delaying action In
France has been very costly. The Ger
mans lost more than half million men
out Of the 800,0 they had in that area,
but the German general stan now claims
the defeat In France has had the ad-
vantage Of drastically shortening the
lines, thus giving an increased power
to the defense Of the Reich itself.
Won Rundstedt, who has his head
quarters at Frankfort on Main, has gen.
eral reserves, mostly motorized and tank
units, which he can rush to any given
point in short time. He hopes the
new German fighter planes, together
with other antiaircraft defenses will en-
able him to make better use of his
reserves than in the battle Of Normandy
when the Allied air forces made it i'm
possible for him to move large numbers
OF men to the threatened sectors
The political consequences of the
battle which opened on Thursday are
not being minimized at either camp
Should We succeed in crushing the
enemy as we did last summer, there is
an increasing hope in Washington and
London that the morale of the German
people, who have been educated to be-
lieve that their West Wall was i'm
pregnable, will suffer seriously. It is
hoped that the Allied political leaders
who think German resistance may not
crumple until next summer. will prove
wrong.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

Conservatives-as opposed to out-and-
out New Dealers-in the new Congress
already are assaying their chances of
holding the line against an expected
drive to put across new program of
so-called social legislation. This goes
for conservatives of the House and
Senate as well as for the Republicans
Take look at the political makeup
Of the National Legislature as it will
exist next January. The Republicans
will have In the neighborhood Of 100
House seats. This Is 28 seats short of a
bare majority. In the Senate there
will be SO Republican Senators, or IL
shy of . majority. This means that If
the Republican members stand as a
unit against so-called left-wing legis-
lative proposals, they will have to find
some 80 Democrats in the House to
join them and a dozen in the Senate
II they are to be effective.
Republican leaders estimate the
chances of q solid front for. their party
in the coming Congress as better than

fact that the PAC will oppose their re-

by no means impossible they will find
Democrats In both houses who also

poses "leftist" legislation.
It is not only on legislative proposals
that the Republicans are counting votes
in the new Congress. They realize
that the biggest fight may be over ap-
preparations advocated by the President
and his advisers. BY the use of large
sums Of money, to be used for benefits
to various groups, the New Dealers may
be able to 60 forward with projects
which play into the hands of those
who favor still further Government con-

citizens, not to mention business.

in its first term turned to the expendi-
ture OF money as the panacea for the
country's problems. Year after year it

in the Atlantic have been sharply cur
tailed by the loss or close investment
of the French ports which were their
chief bases.
The Germans have a good many
submarines still in seaworthy condi-
ton, however, and it seems quite pos
sible that they will use these vessels
in any way that they can, to achieve
their major military object, the gain
ing Of time. Perhaps the submarine
concentration in Norwegian ports is not
wholly directed toward q robot bomb
attack on the Atlantic coast of America.
Perhaps the Germans have other uses
for their U-boats.
The German efforts and sacrifices in
holding the ports Of France, both on
the Atlantic and the Channel, are q
sufncient indication that they realize
that the best results are to be sought
In preventing the movement of sup
plies, not from the United States to
Britain, but from Britain to the con-
tinent.
The reopening of the Schelde Estuary
makes Antwerp q focal point for such
movement; its Importance will soon be
very great, perhaps decisive Of the
outcome Of the great battle now opening
along the northern part of the front.

In large numbers, the southern part Of

place for their employment, and the

Stavanger and Kristiansand, are we'll

ness. The losses will be very heavy.
The chances Of q U-boat venturing

can be found to take these chances, the
losses which might be inflicted on the
crowded shipping pouring in and out

months might be considerable.

Showdown in Belgium

A political crisis has arisen in Bel
GUM basically identical with that
in neighboring France. The crucial
issue in both countries concerns the
status of the left-wing elements in
the underground" resistance move
ment during the German occupa-
ton. Those elements, chiefly Com
munist, seek to retain their identity,
not only as a political group but also
as an armed organization under
separate leadership and virtually
independent Of governmental con-
troll In Belgium. an official ulti-
matum giving the recalcitrant Re-
sistance Forces 48 hours to turn in
their arms has been countered by
the resignation of the Communist
ministers from the cabinet, implying
the detection of the Communist
party from the political coalition
formed when Belgium was liberated
by the Allied armies early in the
autumn.
Thus far. the parallel with events
in France is striking. There are,
however. two important differences.
In the first place. there is no ques-
ton as to the constitutional legality
Of the Belgian government. It is the
same regime which went into exile
when Belgium was overrun by the
Germans in the summer of 1910 and
which has been consistently recog-
nized by the United Nations. Sec
ondly, this government. headed by
Premier Pierlot, is backed unequiv-
ocally by the Allied supreme COM
mand, which has formally an
nounced that allied forces will
assist the government with the view
of insuring respect for law and
maintenance of order because both
are essential for the conduct OF
military operations"
This pronouncement Of the Allied
high command stresses correctly
the vital Importance of Belgium in
the current campaign against Ger
many. Besides being the geographic
cal base for most of the Allied
army groups operating in the pres
ent offensive. Belgium's port of
Antwerp. just made available for
effective use, is becoming the indis-
pensable funnel through which rein
forcements and supplies can be
poured. Obviously, even a partial
and temporary breakdown of law
and order in Belgium, with attend
ant confusion and uncertainties,
would severely handicap the Allied
war effort. The authority of the
government must. therefore. be up
held by the Allies. And. precisely
because Of this. it seems unlikely
that Communist recalcitrance will
be pushed to extremes. Whatever
Belgium's future political orienta-
ton. the Pierlot governments pres
ent action should be a decisive one.

Bishop Reudy

His fellow-Americans of all reli-
gious groups and even those who
have no direct religious afflliation
will rejoice at the latest honor which
has come to the Right Reverend
Monsignor Michael ]. Ready. Prob
ably no other priest OF the universal
church In this country today is more
notably distinguished for the high
qualities of spiritual leadership and
cooperation. His work as the Sec
retary of the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference has shown him to
be statesman in the truly con-
structive meaning OF the word.
During the thirteen years he has
spent in Washington he has earned
the merited appreciation OF the
entire community.
But Monsignor Ready's field is not
limited to any single neighborhood,
however important. The announce
ment that he has been named Bishop
of Columbus would have been re-
ceived with regret had it signified
a retirement from the NCWC. II
only because of his great knowledge
Of its erdeavors and his wide expert
ence with them, it Is good to know
that already he has been appointed
an assistant member of its admin
istrative board. The diocesan re-
sponsibilities to which he has been
assigned will take him back to the
State of Ohio in which he served
prior to 1881, yet they will not isolate
him from the national interests
which he has developed with such
success since that date.
How fortunate 1t is that religion
can attract and hold men of the fine
talents which Monsignor Ready
possesses! Endowed with a search
ing mind, warm sympathies, keen
wit, generous philosophy of fel-
lowship and brotherhood, he might
have made his mark in any arena
OF life. Instead, he devotes himself
to a career which affords only in
tangible rewards. A multitude
benefits from his dedication but only
lnadequately can express its appre-
ciation. The new bishop, however,
does not require to be told that the
gratitude OF friends and strangers
alike is sincere and heartfelt.
