What France Con Do
By David Laurence
a the New York Post.

Prom the New York Post.
France, long the center of Europeis
small nations, will be in an excellent
position to show them how to set up
q liberal democracy, how to avoid ex-
tremism. Recognized, France can also
play an important role in the economic
revival of Europe. She can become the
economic center Of Western Europe, q
bar to German aggression. Recognized,
France can again become the bridge be-
tween Russia and the West Her polit-
ical and economic philosophy stands al
most exactly between that of England
and the United States on one side and
the Soviets on the other. She under
stands both and has the confidence OF
both. We need such bridges. The sreat
disaster Of Europe in 1899 was that there
was no such bridge. Now. in France,
We have one.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The Jewish national home in Pales-
tine has thrust itself strongly into the
picture in both the House and Senate
in these closing days of the present Con-
gress The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee has reported resolution recon-
mending that the United States use its
good Offices Ito the end that the doors
of Palestine shall be opened for free
entry of Jews into that country. and
that there shall be full opportunity for
COLOMBIA ton. so that the Jewish people
may ultimately reconstitute Palestine
as a free and democratic common
wealth. A similar resolution has been
pending before the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
The proposal to allow unlimited i'm
migration OF Jews into Palestine, how
ever, has run afoul of British policy. So
much so that efforts now are being made
by our State Department to postpone
action by either house of Congress on
this subject, Great Britain has a man.
date over Palestine. growing out of the
treaties made at the close of the last
war.
It was contemplated in treaty en-
tered into between this COUNTRY and
Britain back in 1922 that Jewish immi-
grafton into Palestine should be free.
But in 1899 the British government
promulgated White Paper" on Pales-
tine which in effect would leave the
Jewish population of that country a
perpetual minority. The nub of the
policy so disclosed was this provision in
the White Paper: After the period of
five years no further Jewish immigra-
ton will be permitted unless the Arabs
of Palestine are prepared to acquiesce
in it." The present British Prime Min
lister, Winston Churchill. addressing the
House of Commons at that time strongly
opposed this policy, declaring that it
meant closed door to the Jews in Pal
estine, with their minority position made
forever permanent
The Jews were to be allowed a total
immigration of $4,000 into Palestine in
five years under this policy With the

leyte's Importance

Now that they have lost their main
supply port at Ormoc, the japanese
on Leyte are caught in position as
hopeless as that of our American
Filipino forces on Bataan almost
three years ago. With the sea at
their backs and with but a single
harbor-a relatively poor one-re-
naming in their hands, they hold
only a small northwestern segment
of the island and can no longer look
forward either to substantial rein
forcement or escape.
In this situation with thousands
of them already encircled and with
General Macarthur inexorably box
ing in the rest, they must surrender
or die. and we can be fairly certain
that they will choose to do the latter,
fighting on fanatically to the end.
not merely because that is the usual
practice of the japanese but because
they apparently regard Leyte as
place of crucial Importance. Thus,
in the words of the Tokyo radio, the
battle there is for them mot a battle
which decides whether we lose one
corner of the Philippines, but it is
a great decisive battle on which the
life of the Greater East Asia war
depends, for it decides whether we
lose our sea routes to our southern
regions"
Though this evaluation may be
somewhat exaggerated as regards
immediate consequences, there can
be no doubt that once the island is
fully controlled by General Mac
Arthur, the way will be open for new
American landings elsewhere in the
Philippines and that these landings
will have genuinely decisive mean
ing as far as Japan's life lines are
concerned. For if our forces move
onto Luzon, for example, our sub
marines. our planes and our surface
raiders will be in position virtually
to sever the enemy's vital supply
routes between his home islands and
his ill-gotten gains to the south.
From the standpoint of the Japa-
nese. the gravity of this prospect is
extreme. for their north-south ship
ping is literally the jugular vein of
their empire. AS Secretary of the
Navy Forrestal declared some time
ago, they must suck into the home
islands between seventy and eighty
million tons of water-borne cargo
year" to take care of at least third
of their wartime needs. Moreover,
about rs per cent of their indispen-
sable oil requirements can be met
only If they keep this supply line
open; and they need it, too, to pump
back to China, Burma and their
Southwest Pacific outposts an enor-
nous flow Of men and munitions
which can move only in ships. No

Postwar Employment

On the strength of an extensive
survey it has just completed, the
National Association of Manufac-
turers places itself on the side Of
those who believe that America can
look forward to an unprecedentedly
high level of employment in the
postwar years. President Roosevelt,
Henry J. Kaiser and others have de-
clared that there should be as many
as 100000 jobs available. and
though the NAM is not quite so opti-
mistic as that, it regards $4,000 900
as certainly possibility"
According to William P. Witherow,
chairman of the MANS executive
committee, this estimate is based on
a careful check of the Nations man.
ufacturing industries whose plans
indicate that their peacetime en-
ployment will be 80 per cent above
the prewar total. Manufacturing, of
course, can supply only IS per cent
of all jobs. but as Mr.. Witherow
points out, If other segments of our
economy - agriculture, transporta-
tion and the service trades-can do
proportionately as we'll. the 55.000.-
900 figure should be attainable.
Another encouraging finding in
the NAM survey is that when the
time comes to shift back from a war
to peace economy. the process in
the manufacturing field is not likely
to be as disruptive or painful as some
have feared. Actually, says Mr..
Witherow. indications are that at no
point during the transition will the
total of Jobs fall below 1895. since
95 per cent of all industry will be
able to complete reconversion within
eight weeks after starting, and rs
per cent can reach peak production
and full-scale employment within
that period.
The NAM is not given to flights of
fancy or to optimism for optimism's
sake, and its judgment of postwar
prospects is the more convincing and
heartening for that reason. 1t is
judgment reassuring enough to be
called to the attention of all workers
tending to worry about what will
happen when the shooting stops and
who thus are tempted to quit their
essential jobs in arms plants for non-
essential ones in civilian production.

Brituin's Pacific Fleet

1lle announcement" from London
that Britain is sending a powerful
feet to the Far East is regarded as
a first step in the implementation
OF Prime Minister Churchills pledge
that the British will be in the fight
against Japan until the last shot
Is fired.
This Pacific fleet, to be COM
manded by Admiral Sir Bruce A.
Fraser, is described by London news
papers as being capable of chal-
longing the entire remaining naval
strength of Japan, and if that be
even approximately correct the
greatest interest will center around
the uses to which this new British
battle fleet will be put.
Since the loss of Singapore early
In the war Britain has had no naval
base OF consequence east of Ceylon,
of the southeastern tip of India.
The British Eastern fleet has been
based there, and, on the basis of
news reports, its operations have
been confined to the Indian Ocean
except for one raid on Surabaya in
the Netherlands Indies. An Eastern
fleet will continue to be based on
Ceylon, however, under command of
Vice Admiral Sir Arthur J. Power.
and will function in support of
Lord Louis Mountbatten's campaign
against Burma and Lower Malaya.
In this situation, the only inference
Is that the new Far Eastern fleet will
operate in the Central Pacific with
out a base of its own.
Presumably this will have some
effect on our own naval operations
in the Pacific theater. The Amer
lean forces there are already far
superior to the japanese feet and
would like nothing better than to
engage the enemy in decisive battle.
But the japanese have certain ad-
vantages. Each American advance
takes us farther from our main
naval bases and pushes the japanese
closer to theirs. The problem of
supplying our fleet becomes more
difficult while that of the enemy
grows simpler, thereby tending to
minimize our undoubted combat su-
periority.
In this situation, the effectiveness
OF the new British fleet will be gov
erned to some extent by the prep
aratlons which have been made for
supplying it. If it is equipped to
operate on a self sustaining basis
1t will enter the Pacific as a tre-
mendous additional threat to the
Mikado's dwindling navy. But if it
is to be dependent for both bases
and supplies on the already some
what overtaxed American facilities
then the overall effectiveness of the
combined Anglo American forces
will be correspondingly reduced.
The Allied commanders have antici-
pated this problem, of course, and
1t may be presumed that a mutually
satisfactory solution has been found.

NaI persecution of the Jews In Europe,
the need of refuge became enormous.
But because of war conditions, travel to
Palestine became difi1cult in the ex-
treme. At the close of the five years
the Jewish immigrants were still $4,000
short of the permissible rs 600 The
British Parliament was persuaded to ex-
tend the period of this immigration be-
yond the five-year period, largely at
the instance of Chairman Sol Bloom
of the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee.
A resurgence of the popular demand
in this country that the Jews have free
immigration into Palestine occurred this
year. Not only were these resolutions
introduced in both houses of Congress
by Representative Wright Of Pennsyl-
vania and Representative Compton of
New Jersey in the House and by Senator
Wagner of New York and Senator Taft
OF Ohio in the Senate-but both the
Democratic and Republican parties in
their national platforms included SINH
lar demands. President Roosevelt and
Gov. Dewey Of New York, the presiden-
tial candidates. made strong statements
supporting these demands. Eighty-three
Senators and 3l8 Representatives gave
their individual support to the Zionist
program.
An argument is now made in some
quarters that to press through Congress
these resolutions might be offensive to
the British government, or at least en-
barrassing. and tend to widen a breach
between the two governments already
made through Britain's attitude in Italy
and Greece
Members OF the House and Senate,
however, take the position that to turn
down these resolutions now. or even to
lay them aside, would be qualification
on their part. Some members of the
Foreign Relations Comroittee 60 so far
as to say that unless President Roose-
velt makes public statement on the
subject. they intend to go right ahead
in their support of immediate action,
despite refusal Of the committee to re-
port the resolution.

Frunco-Soviet Alliance

We do not yet know the precise
terms of the treaty signed last
Sunday between Soviet Russia and
the French provisional government
headed by General Charles de Gaulle.
But the joint communique issued at
Moscow indicates that it is pact of
alliance and mutual assistance, de-
signed to extend beyond the war into
the postwar period. The understand
ing is that it is similar in tenor to
the Anglo-Russian treaty and is to
run for like term of 20 years.
This new diplomatic alignment
has various aspects and may be
variously interpreted. It's outstand-
ing feature is a resounding triumph
for General de Gaulle and his re-
gime, which has gained enormously
in prestige, especially at home. An
agreement with Moscow should ease
the current tension between the
government at Paris and Communist
or other left-Wing sections of the
former underground, and that, in
turn, will accentuate the stability of
France in contrast to its liberated
neighborS, all of whom are passing
through crises which the ordeal Of
winter will probably render more
acute.
The second noteworthy feature is
an impressive demonstration of
Frances intrinsic Importance in
European affairs Less than a year
ago so keen judge of world politics
as General Smuts could assert that
France had gone into prolonged
eclipse and might never recover
its former international stature.
Today, despite its catastrophe losses
and its temporary lack of military
strength, France is treated as a great
power by both Russia and Britain.
Indeed, one of the most significant
aspects of De Gaulle's trip to Moscow
is that it was made on Stalins in
vitation, extended during Winston
Churchill's visit to Paris. Before
that visit, it was widely rumored that
Churchill had in mind the negotiat-
ing of an Anglo-French pact which
would be the capstone of a West
European bloc" But the matter
was seemingly never raised at Paris,
apparently because of unfavorable
intimations from Moscow and also
because of De Gaulle's desire to play
an intermediate role between Britain
and the Soviet Union Now that he
has succeeded at Moscow, we may
witness the negotiation of a Franco
British pact as part of tripartite
diplomatic combination similar to
the Triple Entente" between Brit
ain, France and Russia in the years
before the First World War. That
combination was primarily designed
to restrain the growing threat of
imperial Germany. A common desire
to deal decisively with chronic Ger
man aggressiveness would logically
tend to the same alignment at the
present day.

railroad on the Asiatic mainland can

Accordingly, to the extent that 1t

jugular vein will be badly torn, If
not severed altogether, the battle Of
Leyte may be regarded as one of the
most far-reaching yet fought in the
Pacific. When it ends in an Ameri-

the Japanese home front will not
suddenly collapse, of course, but it
will most certainly begin to feel
blockaded and pinched as never
