Desperation

There is something not only naive, but actu.
ally desperate, about the Nazis' latest diplo.
matte feint They dispatched "a Danish citi-
zen'' to ask the Swedish government to oc.
cupy Denmark and Norway and guarantee
their neutrality if the German occupying forces
should withdraw.
OF course it would be just dandy if Hitler
could send these occupation troops to the
front, and at the same time close off two
possible points of Allied invasion. But how
could he hope that such proposal would be
swallowed? Certainly the Allies would not per
NIT it, And certainly Sweden, who knows the
Allies are winning the war and whose popu
lar sentiment is overwhelmingly pro-Allied
would not consider it.
Hitler must have known this. Yet the fact
that he launched such bald and obvious plar
would seem to indicate that he has come te
the point where he will try anything.

Wrong Model

Matthew Smith, secretary of the Mechanics
Educational Society of America, may find that
he has patterned his wartime labor deport-
ment after the wrong model. In defying War
Labor Board subpoena; in announcing that his
unions strike in A war plants has been halted
only Temporarily" in announcing that his
actions are subject to his policy committees
approval, he has out-Lewised John L. Lewis.
Mr.. Lewis was successful in this sort of
maneuvering. But the public. the armed forces
and it may be suspected, the government, got
pretty mad at Mr.. Lewis coal strikes They
don't want any more of them. They're little
tired Of Lewis tactics.
Maybe nobody tells Mr.. Smith these things.
But it is just possible that he might awake
one day to find that the government has in
voked the full measure of the wartime strike
law against him, and then throw the book at
him.

Inexcusable

The only definite information concerning the
sinking of an American transport is that a
thousand men lost their lives The medium of
attack is not revealed. It may have been a
submarine. 1t could have been a mine. No
word is said of the location, except that it
happened in European waters-a masterpiece
Of generality. Was it off Norway, in the North
sea, near England or Ireland in the Mediter-
ranean?
Again the American people are left in ig-
norance-treated like so many babies Is the
loss Of a thousand men at sea Of such little
concern that the public may not even know
how long ago or how recently they went to
their death?
This withholding of the essential facts is
inexcusable, inasmuch as the official an
houncement of the sinking says military. Sc

though the home had twice before been oc.

There is no good reason to think a landing
would be attempted without thorough prepa-
ration especially when it is recalled how ef-
fcently enemy defenses were destroyed in
the Marslalls before man set foot on land.
A reconnaissance force might have gone
ashore but no landing in force would have
been made. we may be sure, unless the way
had been cleared in advance, and the battle
is too young for that to have been accomplish
ed
The only fact that stands out in the present
engagement is that the actual assault on ia
pan is nearer by the, distance from the Mar
shalls to the Carolines. And the assumption
is that Admiral Nimitz will do as thorough a
job there, despite the stronger defenses, as he
did in the Marshalls The advance on Japan
is not hit or miss process. American strate-
gy is carefully worked out. That it embodies
the elements of success is evidenced by the
conquest of the Marshalls.
While the enemy is much better established
at Trllk than in any other island bastion, hav-

conceivable that victory there is as certain
as in the Marshalls though infinitely more

1t is an Incentive Tor him to earn more money
by producing more rubber.
And we still need natural rubber more than
we do sewing machines. Chemists are agreed
that the synthetic process is not yet at point
where durable tire can be made without
using some Of the natural product All-synthet-
ic tires just won't stand up under military
and other heavy-duty uses, and they are not
fully satisfactory for civilian driving.
Last year we received 10000 tons of natural
rubber from Brazil This year the supply may
be slightly greater, with help from Liberian
imports, and from rubber obtained from the
Mexican guayule and Haitian cryptostegia
plants. But our absolute minimum require
nent for 1914 is $4,000 tons.
So any loosening Of gasoline and tire restric-
tons looks pretty remote. And rubber remains
one of our most critical materials.

powers that shamelessly proclaim
their enmity against Thee, may
we also do battle against all the
wickedness in our own Nation and
in our own hearts. Grant us, we
plead, victory over our own per-
