The Mediterranean Side

In the current spate of discus
sion over the expected grand as
sault on Hitler's European fortress,
attention is focused chiefly on its
western side, centering on the So
called invasion coast" from Den
mark to Brittany, though extended
from Norway's North Cape to the
Bay OF Biscay, at least for diver
slonary reasons. 1t likewise gen.
orally is taken for granted that the
titanic assault from the west will
coincide with an equally massive
thrust by the Red Armies on the
eastern front, thereby catching the
German war machine between the
jaws Of gigantic pincers move
ment.
Until recently, such forecasts have
paid relatively scant attention to
the southern side of what, geo.
graphically and logistically speak
ing, is an immense triangle. A
glance at the map will show that
Hitler's fortress comes to sharp
apex in Northern Norway and Fin
land, but broadens out rapidly until
1t rests on the Mediterranean Sea
IN southern base extending, with
many sinuositieS, from the Spanish
border to Crete and Rhodes, island
outposts far removed from the con-
tinental center of gravity of Ger
man power. Tough German resist
ance in defense of those outpoSts
and of the italian peninsular sali-
ent long since has outmoded VIM
ston Churchill's description of this
southern baSeline as the soft un-
derbelly of the Axis" Nevertheless,
1t hardly is credible that it will be
neglected in grand strategy which
aims to spread Germany's limited
resources in manpower and equip
ment as thin as possible by simul-
taneouS attacks at all feasible
points. We therefore logically may
anticipate Allied attacks in the
Mediterranean to coincide with the
blows dealt from the west and the
east. The only questions are
where those attacks most effec-
lively may be delivered and how
strong they will be with reference
to the total Allied resources in COM
bat forces, shipping and lines of
supply.
The only place where the Allies
now are in major physical contact
with the Germans is in South
Central Italy, where they for
months have been stalemated at
Casino and the Anzio beachhead
below Rome. The Germans OBJ
viouSly anticipate renewed Allied
offensives in this area by various
drastic defensive measures such as
the recent flooding of the Pontine
Marshes, thereby destroying the
greatest land reclamation project
of Mussolini's regime. Current Al

dicated already in the handling of the
resolution in the Senate calling for
thorough investigation of all the facts
leading up to the seizure of the Ward
company.
The complaint. which comes from
Democrats as well as Republicans on
Capitol Hill, is that the case was mis-
handled by the administration. The
Montgomery Ward Co. insists that the
situation arose because it did not believe
that the union represented a majority
OF its employees. Why steps were not
taken promptly long ago-as they have
been taken noW-to order an election to
determine whether the union really does
represent majority of the employees,
is not clear. To the layman, however,
it looks as though the administration
was determined to force the company
to renew contract-which had expired
last December-before an election was
held.
What gets under the skin of many
people is the difference in the handling
of this Montgomery Ward case by the
administration and its handling of coal
mine strike. when the United Mine
Workers, headed by John L. Lewis de-
clined to accept an order of the War
Labor Board. They have come to be-
lieve that the administration has one
way of dealing with labor organizations
and another when it comes to dealing
with employers.
y
In the final analysis, however, what
gripes an individual American is the use
Of the military to take forcible control
of the Montgomery Ward Co.'s property
and to eject Mr.. Avery. A court order
taking over the property would have
been vastly different proceeding. But
the administration bulled . its way
through. 1t was not until after the use
of the military that Attorney General
-Biddle went into the courts-and then
to get an order restraining the company
ofiicials from interfering with the con-
troll OF the plant by the Government.
On the surface it looks as though Mr..
Avery had carefully considered just
what he would do if the Government
undertook to seize his company and
that the Government had not given
equal thought to the matter When
Mr.. Avery declined to submit, some
body blew up.

Mr.. Huffs Two Jobs

Under other conditions, one would
find cause for praise rather than
condemnation in the fact that Public
Welfare Director Ray L. Huff has
continued, since March of 1943, to
I'LL two jobs-at one salary.
The municipal service, with other
employers everywhere, finds it diff
cult to obtain qualified personnel
these days and always faces the
question, with other employers, of
whether to fill a vacancy now or
leave it open against the return of
men now in the military service.
That was the dilemma which faced
the Board of Public Welfare when
Mr.. Huff was made director of public
welfare, while continuing to func-
ton as superintendent of penal
institutions. Many vacancies remain
untitled. Why have not the Com
missioners filled the 243 vacancies
in the Police Department.?
SAol llOW w UI1c
Board of Public Welfare by loudly
exploiting the fact that it has per-
mitted Mr.. Huff to fill two jobs is
indicative of the weakness of the
Commissioners whole case against
the board, which they wish to abolish
in order to get the control of jobs
in their own hands. They have not
been able to sustain their criticism
OF the board on other grounds.
Their case before the D'Alesandro
subcommittee collapsed, as it will
under the unprejudiced examination
Of any Investigator.
IT the Commissioners are sincerely
interested in amending the public
welfare law to bring it up to date,
they will have to present a more
rational proposal, rejecting much
more careful consideration of the
real problems in local public welfare
administration, than they have done
so far. Their bill to abolish the
Board of Public Welfare's powers
has been knocking around for about
two years without getting anywhere.
1t should be withdrawn and, with
the help of local citizens who have
some understanding of the principles
at stake, rewritten. 1t might then
merit some dignifled consideration.

that the Polish question has been SUBJ

gress have taken advantage of the 150th
anniversary of the Polish constitution
to declare on the floor of the Senate and
House that the people of the United
States do not indorse any move depriv-
ing Poland of her sovereignty.
Last Wednesday rs Senators and 50
members of the House representing a
cross-section of Congress, from New Deal
adherents to opponents of the admins
tration, expressed clearly the view of
their constituents who do not want to
see power politics played at the expense
of the smaller nations. Representatives
Of all parties, from Maine to California
and from Florida to Oregon, had some
thing to say about the necessity of
maintaining Polands integrity. The
speeches were not "pre-election" ad-
dresses. American voters of Polish
descent are strong in only six States
and the members of Congress spoke
under the guise of paying tribute to
Poland, but in fact issued warning to
all concerned about how the American
people feel
The specialists on North American
affairs in Moscow may take the hint
that If there is going to be postwar
cooperation among the present oppo-
nents of Hitler, it must be on an
equitable basis in which the wishes of
the American people should receive due
attention.

necessary to obtain defense against or

before the campaign has progressed far:

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The administrations seizure of the
Montgomery Ward Co., using the Army
to remove the company's head, Sewell
Avery. Is bad political medicine, with q
national campaign under way. You can
argue until the cows come home that the
Presidents powers in wartime warrant
such an act, or that Montgomery Ward,
because it is so big concern and dis
tributes plows and farm machinery, is
affected with war interest but you will
find it difficult to convince the ordinary
American citizen that the Governments
action was not high-handed and smack
ing of dictatorship.
Administration Democrats in Con-
gress frankly admit that, momentarily,
the reaction of the country to the seizure
has been distinctly unfavorable. Other
Democrats who do not like the admins
tration are inclined to liken the ham
ding of the Montgomery Ward case to
the Presidents effort to compel Congress
to accept his Supreme Court packing bill
in 1887. Republicans already are count
ing added votes because of the seizure
and the way 1t was done.

plant and which in Chicago manufac-
lures nothing, on the storekeepers, big
and little, throughout the country is not
good Nor is its effect on the farmers
who have no love for the CIO anyway
anything but bad. All of this feeling
may be translated into anti-New Deal
votes when the presidential election rolls
around. Certainly, if the Republicans
have their way, this VIII be the political
result.
The Republicans, however, can over
play their hand in this matter if they
do not watch their step. There is such
a thing as creating sympathy for the
other fellow by bowling too loud and too
frequently. When the fight over the
Supreme Court bill was at its height,
Republicans in the Senate wisely sat
back and let the Democratic opponents
of that measure do all the leading in ths
attack on the administration
The effort of the Democratic admins
tration will naturally be to convict the
Montgomery Ward Co. and Mr.. Avery
of unfair tactics in dealing with the
company's employees. This has been in

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The question Of the future Of Poland
Is likely to become an important issue
in Americas domestic affairs. not be-
cause of the several million voters of
Polish descent in this country but be-
cause Poland Is test case" for the fu-
ture reorganization OF the world
The people of the United States
entered this war for several reasons, one
being the desire to preserve the rights
trampled under the boots of Hitler's
troops.
Great Britain declared war on Ger
many because Hitler would not listen
to reason and invaded Poland with the
definite intention of subjugating that
country of IS 900 900 persons But while
the British government for centuries
has played power politics because the
interests and security of the empire re-
quired. at no time in our history has
power politics been envisaged either by
the American people or their Govern
ment.
The European diplomatic puzzle
brought Russia into the anti Hitler
camp in 1941. The Soviet follows a
tW0Ao1o pOiASy--Go uCACdt I1ltACI, bllCIC-
by eliminating permanent menace to
Russian security, and to expand her
territory to her 1914 boundaries. The
latter consideration requires the sup
preston Of the sovereignty Of the So
called border states, Finland, the Baltic
republics and Poland.
It Is immaterial whether this Is per-
formed in a modern streamlined man
ner by incorporating them as partners
of the U. S. s. r. or by organizing gov
ernments subservient to Moscow or, as
in the case of the Baltic republics. by
direct annexation through a spurious
plebiscite. The important fact, as seen
from this country, is that the border
states in some cases will be allowed to
choose their governments from the in
side while Russian forces are in full
occupation of their territory.
There are strong rumors, supported
by some facts, that the Washington and
London governments at the Moscow and
Teheran conferences accepted the Soviet
view regarding its influence" on the
border territories. If this were not
so, Prime Minister Churchill, the CO.
