TODAY and TOMORROW
BY WALTER LIPPMANN

That also is why our own military
planning and diplomacy are not in
tegrated, and have developed in
separate compartments.
For the basic reason VII y the
War Department, the State Depart
ment, and the foreign economic
agencies are not truly coordinated
is that the State Department has
been run on the theory that during
the war it was auxiliary to the
War Department and that after the
war it would take charge Of our
foreign affairs. In essence the
guiding rule of the State Depart
ment has been that the War De-
partment conducted war and that
the State Department will conduct
the postwar peace.
The conception has been wrong.
All the great strategical decisions
of war are political as well as mil
itary: for example, the decision to
invade the Philippines si:nultan-
eously with the invasion Of Europe
involved political as well as mill
tary considerations, and it has had
gigantic political as well as mill
tary consequences. In that great
decision t h e State Department
should have been principal, if on
ly in order to be well aware Of and
we'll prepared for the effects of a
delayed victory in Europe owing
to the risk Of dividing our forces
and Of operating in both theaters
on narrow margin of superiority
The conception is equally wrong
in respect to the postwar world
in so far as 1t assumes that then
the State Department will take
command, and that the War De-
partment will then 1etire into the
background. The postwar era will
not be an era of settled peace such
as the United States enjoyed in the
nineteenth century. 1t will be an
era Of pacification in which diplo-
matte action. military force, and
also economic action. are INSOFAR
able. Otherwise our diplomacy will
take positions which our military
power cannot sustain, and vice
versa. Our right hand will not
know what our left hand is doing.
The fallacy of thinking that po-
litical issues could be postponed
until after the war is the real rea-
son why we have not established

a United Nations council among
our Allies Or a war cabinet here
at home. We need both the coun-
ell and the war cabinet. But we
shall not get them, or make them
work until we become fully aware
of the fundamental error of con-
ception which is the crux of the
difficulty.

RUSSIA:
Fighting; Diplomacy

Nibbling deeper into Nazi defense
lines, Red troops pressed ever closer
to the Baltic states of Estonia, Lat
via and Lithuania, while German
forces chung bitterly to their posi-
tions behind Russian forces at the
southern end of the 300 mile front.
In Finland, there was agitation for
better peace terms from the Rus
slams as a basis for withdrawing
from the war, with opposition to
Moscow's proposals for restoration
of the 1910 borders and discussion
about disposition of northern Finn
ish territory.
Crossing the Narva river, Red
troops advanced is miles into Esto-
mia, while other Russ forces con-
verged on the Latvian gateway of
Pskov. Far to the south, the Reds
met bitter German resistance as
they tried to white down Nazi
Zines to the rear of General Vatutin's
troops in Poland.

Affected BY Var

Although war has not come to Ire

contributing toward the closing Of
many industries.
: Recruitment Of 10000 Irish for
work in Britain, and enlistment of
another lO0, 900 Irish In the British
army have helped relieve unemploy-
ment In the country, however. Even
90, at least $4,000 are idle. In an
effort to hold skilled help for post
war production to balance the ma
tons economy, many closed indus
tries are keeping people on their pay
rolls.
Certain Irish industries are BOOM
ing, especially those canning meats
and milk for Great Britain. With
wooden goods imports cut, Irish tex
tile mills also are hunming to pro-
duce material for the home market.
In all, industries generally are OPP

COLLEGE EDUCATION:
Would Change Titles

Claiming that professors titles do
not always reflect the real achieve
ments of their holders, President
Robert M. Hutchins of the Univer-
sity of Chicago proposed abolishing
all teaching distinctions like profess
sor, associate professor, assistant
professor and instructors, and call
ing them. all merely members" of
the faculty.
Hutchins' proposal was his latest
in a long list of changes he has rec
commended for streamlining higher
American education, the most noted
one adopted so far allowing students
to complete an ordinary four year
course in two years.
Under Hutchins' latest plan, nei-
Their present salaries nor jobs would
be affected by classifying all teach
ers merely as members, but some
complained that in hard times when
compensations would be stabilized,
they would not be able to Offset
economic loss by obtaining more
prestige through higher titles.

ARGENTINA:
OueII Revolt

Turbulent South American politics
took another dramatic twist with an
Argentine army officers attempted
revolt against the new government
Of ultra-neutral Gen. Edelmiro Far
reil, which ousted ex-President Pc
dro Ramirez because his regime
was inclined toward a declaration Of
war against the Axis.
Because the powerful "Colonels'
Club" of army chiefs was behind the
move to replace Ramirez, however,
the rebellious officer found himself
standing alone, with no indication
that his 1000 troops were painting
for action. After marching from the
capital of Buenos Aires, the rebels
surrendered Internationally.
Argentina's swerving back toward
a strict policy of neutrality after the
Ramirez governments wavering
away from it, revealed that coun-
try's insistence on maintaining its
complete political independence,
linking it up with its sister republic
of Bolivia to the northwest.

SOLDIER VOTE:
COMPROMISE Bill

In an effort to give servicemen
overseas every CHANGE to vote and
yet protect states rights in super
vising elections, congressional con-
ferees drew up a compromise bill.
Under the bill, servicemen over
seas from states with no absentee
voting laws could use the blank fed
eral ballot with only the names Of
the political parties designated if
their governors approve, or, service
men from states with absentee vot-
ing laws could only use the federal
ballot if they fail to receive their
state ballot by October l.
So far, 20 states are reported to
have adequate absentee voting laws,
while nine others are considering
such laws or about to convene their
Legislators to take up action on the
issue.

AGRICULTURE:
Corn Ceiling Sticks

Shortly after OPA had advised the
Chicago Board of Trade president,
Philip O'Brien, that the $1.16 price
ceiling on corn would stick through
1914, the War Food administration
announced ALLEGATION Of wheat for
food, feed, alcohol, export and lend
lease would begin before June.
In testifying before a senate agri-
culture subcommittee, O'Brien advo-
Gated a $1.45 corn top to relieve the
drain on wheat for feeding hogs,
since price supports on pigs make it
more profitable to fatten them than
sell grain on the market.
O'Brien's statement that the coun-
try was consuming more wheat than
it produced was substantiated by
department of agriculture statis-
tics which show that over one bill
lion bushels of the grain disappeared
in 1943 against harvesting of $50
million bushels.
Support Egg Prices
Continuing its policy of support
ing egg prices at parity, the War
Food administration announced that
it would pay an average of 80 cents
per dozen for the period ending
April is.
Since January 1, VIA bought the
equivalent of 1880, 900 cases, or 49,
100000 dozen, of shell eggs. Actual
ly VIA purchased only 100000 cases
of shell eggs, although its acquisi-
tons of dried eggs were the equal
of 100, 900 cases.
Continued VIA carlot purchases
will be on the basis of U. S. whole
sale No. ] and No. 2 extras, with As
pounds minimum net weight.

PACIFIC:
Cain Adniralties

Fighting with their backs to the

mand Unanswered the Japs into
spreading their limited strength,
however, and robbing them of con-
certed striking power.
AS U. S. doughboys frightened their
grip on the Admiralties, American
warplanes ranged the whole breadth
of the battle area, continuing to
pound the big enemy base of Rabaul
on New Britain, former feeder point
for Jap barges supplying outlying
islands. Occupation of the Admir-
alties put U. S. bomber forces di-
rectly in the path of enemy car
60 shipping sailing southwark to
Rabaul, further weakening the once
