inclined to be possibly too opti-
mistic regarding the outlook on
the European fronts. Optimism
is alright but it must not lend
to complacency. When the going
is good we should push just a
little harder to bring the end
sooner. When a prize fighter
has his opponent groggy he does
not slacken his speed but strives
for the final knockout punch.
Germany is surely groggy. Given
time she can recover. At least
she has proven that she can re-
cover with sufficient striking
power to throw the great Russian
army back. The thing to do is
keep her on the run. No time
for rest and reorganization. And
the main blows on the Eastern
front are started in our Ameri-
can war plants. The Russian
Army, it is true, delivers the
punches but the dynamite of the
punch is through Lend-Lease.
That's why the President and
all high officials urge a contin
nance of all our effort.
There will come a time in the
not distant future when an
effort will be made to measure
the effectiveness of the knockout
blows given a Nazi machine. Up
to now the preponderance of
manpower rests
Optimism, with Russia. But,
But Not it can well be
COmplacency argued, of what
use would all
the manpower be without the
employment of our war ma
terials? When history is
finally written on this phase of
the Second World War it will
probably show that American
production and delivery of the
necessary implements of war to
the Russian fronts ranks hardly
second to the very efficient and
effective use of them by the Red
Army.
When, where and how the
much discussed second front
will be launched remains to be
seen. The extent to which Ger
many has been crippled cannot
be known. That she is, however,
prepared to meet any invasion
attempt with murderous force, is
not doubted.
The second front Tor fronts)
will come almost any time. Many
doubt a direct attempt at the
coast of France but expect to
see several simultaneous in
vasions. The best part of the
second front is the waging of the
war of nerves on Germany's
leaders. They must be prepared
for an attempt anywhere from
the northern coast of Norway to
the eastern coast of the Medi-
terranean. Withdrawal of forces
from the Russian front in prep
aration for possible invasion
points is a part of the reason for
the big and constant gains of
the Red Armies. Germany is
groggy but she is tough. The
knockout punch will be given as
soon as enough hard blows can
be administered.

| Might Be WrOng--BUT
By P. G. STROMBERG

THE OUTSTANDING recon-
= mendation of President Roose-
velt in his annual message to
the Congress is that we adopt a
national service act. 1t seems
doubtful that Congress will ac-
cept the recommendation but
there is little question as to how
the general public feels. With
such a law the country would
have been saved the narrowing
experiences of repeated strikes
and the man.
National power problem
Service would have been
Act Writ a lily re-
moved from the
scene of troublesome solution.
Even the President admits that
he has been tardy in reaching a
decision in it's favor. He said
in his message II have for three
years hesitated to recommend a
national service act. Today, how
ever, am convinced of its neces-
sity. Although / believe that we
and our allies can win the war
without such measure, l am GER
tain that nothing less than total
mobilization of all our resources
of manpower and capital will
guarantee an earlier victory and
reduce the toll of suffering and
sorrow and blood"
It is a sad commentary that
we have been so well represented
in the international field both in
diplomacy and by our armed
forces only to have the world
think that we are unable to ham
die our domestic problems. The
President has been too patient
and lenient with labor leaders.
He accepted in good faith their
promises of full effort toward
prosecution of the war and has,
at long last, been forced to ad-
NIT that only through the laws
majesty can he depend on un-
interrupted production in all
fields of war activity. 1t is to
be hoped that Congress will
back the President in this be-
lated action. Such a law will
serve as a builder of morale
among the. boys in uniform. 1t
will help to Offset the bad inn
preston created in foreign
fields as a result of the threat
ened railroad strike. 1t will
automatically give all who are
able to perform any type Of
service toward prosecution of
the war a feeling that they are
available and will be called on
to render whatever service it
might be found that they are
fitted for.
With a national service law
on the books there will be no
more strikes.
Should Have There will be
Been In Force no more wear
Long Ago ing and tearing
of the public's
nerves due to avoidable causes.
All attention can and will be
given to the big problem of win
ming the war. No more war Of
nerves on the home front.
In his message the President
dwelt at length on the compla-
cent feeling regarding the early
end Of hostilities. He urged all
to keep fighting to the limit and
pointed out that in August,
1918 (just three months before
the first World War ended)
President Wilson recommended
and the Congress adopted a
change in the draft law from the
81 TO 81 age group to the 18 to
