Question of Propriety

Chairman Thomas E. Lodge of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
does not need to demonstrate his
public spirited interest in matters
concerning Washington and on fur
ther reflection he may reconsider
his acceptance of leadership of the
liquor and wine industry group in
the Fourth War Loan drive, begin
ming January 18.
There are many groups of business
interests participating in the cam
paign, of which the liquor and wine
industry is one. But would it not be
more appropriate to have the chair
manship of this group placed with
one of its own representatives than
with the senior member of the public
agency responsible for policing the
liquor business?
The ABC Board has been under
criticism in connection with local
practices in the liquor trade. Out
standing members of that trade
group have run into more than
criticism with Government agencies.
Some odd arrangements have marked
previous War Loan drives, but it is a
little difficult to understand the
necessity for this one.

Ida M. TurbeII

1t would be pity if Ida M. Tarbell
were to be remembered only as a
"muckraker." True enough, she
belonged to the group of magazine
writer's, including Lincoln Steffens,
Charles Edward Russell, Ray STAN
nard Baker, Thomas w. Lawson and
David Graham Phillips, to whom
collectively Theodore Roosevelt ap-
piled the familiar epithet from John
Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" But
she was not a radical in the destruc-
tive sense. Dying at eighty six, she
leaves as her monument not her
ephemeral indictments of American
industry, but rather her constructive
studies of the personality and char
acter of Abraham Lincoln.
The life" of the great preserver
of the Union occupied Miss Tarbell
from 1894 onward. 1t was suggested
by S. S. Mcclure and ]. S. Phillips,
whose "desire was to add to our
knowledge of Lincoln by collecting
the "reminiscences of such of
his contemporaries as were then
living" An appeal for material,
published in McClure's magazine,
brought immediate and amazing"
response. Vast correspondence and
thousands of miles of travel were the
result. The size of the task ex-
panded as the years passed. It's
fruits were not limited to the formal
biography which Miss Tarbell COM
pleted in 1900 and revised In 1917.

titled as Gen. Marshall, that the threat
ened railway and steel strikes gave to
Hitler propaganda weapon with which
he might stave off internal revolt, pro-
long the war and, thus increase Ameri-
can casualties. The other was the state
ment of Secretary Early that the Presi-
dent seemed to be thinking along the
same lines" Shrill cries of anguish from
the labor bosses and few labor -bullied
members of Congress followed. At this
writing they are still bleating.
Two things are to be said about these
statements. First, they are in striking
contrast to all statements on the subject
that heretofore have come from Admin
istration sources-for example, those
unctuous Labor Day letters of praise to
the Messrs. Green and Murray, which
Undersecretary of War Patterson sent at
a time when strikes by their unions on
War Department contracts had caused
a loss of millions of man-hours and
greatly interfered with munition produc-
ton. They also contrasted with the tone
of all previous White House utterances

conference there were quite q number
ironed out later. 1t appears that the
fate of Poland in particular was one
OF the leftovers.
The State Department of course, is
aware that while everybody is anxious
to maintain the closest relation with
the U. S. s. r. in order to win the war
as quickly as possible and cooperate
with Russia in economic and political
postwar problems, an arbitrary and one
sided viewpoint regarding the fate Of
countries which are considered as SOW
ereign by this government and the
American people will provoke a re-
action which should be avoided.
x X
The developments are being carefully
watched in congressional quarters which
so enthusiastically indorsed the Moscow
agreements on Secretary Hull's return
from Russia. While it is agreed that
we should do nothing to annoy our
associates who are fighting SO success
fully in the east, many wonder how we
are going to reconcile our theories that
we are fighting for the freedom of all
people who have suffered from aggres-
sion with the stark reality that some
especially the Poles, who have had the
daring to defy the Nazis-may have to
give up their sovereignty to the nations
which are by way of liberating them.
1t was hoped that friendly representa-
tions to Moscow would bring about a
softening of the blow 1t was believed
in responsible quarters here that a re-
sumption-through the good Offices of
Mr. Hull-of diplomatic relations be-
tween the Polish government in exil.
and the U. S. S. r. could allow the two
nations to discuss their problems to-
gether. Whether such hopes will mate
rialize Is a question for the future.

Common Sense

Virginia is abandoning compul-
sorry, periodic inspection of automo-
biles for the duration of the war.
Maryland took the same step shortly
after Pearl Harbor, as have num-
Der of other States. The reasons are
obvious: Gasoline rationing. man
power shortages and the fact that
there is a greater incentive than
ever before, on the part of the auto
mobile owner, to keep his automobile
in good repair. No Government
agent has to tell him that
But here in the District we con-
tinue to maintain the same strict
requirements for automobile inspec-
ton. wasting precious gasoline, time
and manpower This is an imposi-
ton on automobile owners and the
Commissioners should have moved
long since to call of the whole busi-
ness.
In normal times, with thousands
of new automobiles being sold and
the streets filled with, dirt cheap
"jalopies," the periodic inspections
served one good purpose in the con-
demnation of unsafe automobiles.
But even though the traffic author
tiles do not seem to realize it, this
condition no longer exists. There has
been no statistical showing that the
inspections have reduced traffic
accidents. They should be suspended
for the duration. as sensible people
are doing elsewhere and as sensible
people-such as the keystone Auto
mobile Club - have recommended

ent account of what he said. This lack
OF respect for his wishes may eventually
force him to make a public statement
where he did not wish to do so.
Mr.. Rickenbacker has not improved
the situation by following up the Incl
dent with the suggestion that Gen.
Marshall is the type Of man who should
be the next President of the United
States" thereby introducing politics into
the picture with a thrust at the Presi-
dent and Commander in Chief.

Gen. Marshall must have good reasons
not to wish to open a raucous debate.
Among our troops anger and even fury
at the behavior of the civilian popula-
ton is spreading. The effect which the
strike threats and many other things
might have on Axis strategy is negli-
gible compared with the direct effect
they have on the morale of our own
troops who shortly are to be put to a
gigantic test.

talking, it is believed, was intended as
much for the American Government as
for the ears of Mr.. Willkie. Ut came at a
time when the Red Armies were crossing
old Poland and expecting to push the
Germans either to the old Ribbentrop-
Molotov line or even farther.

1t also came at time when the State
Department was wondering what steps
it might take to maintain, in appearance
at least, the Atlantic Charter without

Enemy HOLDINGS

Measured in terms of enemy-held
territory, the road to victory is still
long one for the United Nations.
AS of last January, according to the
Office of War Information, the Japa-
nese controlled some 100000 square
miles, of which we have so far taken
back only about 5 per cent. or
roughly 100000 square miles. Large
ly because of the Russians, our
Allied forces have done much bet
ter against the other end of the
Axis, liberating during the past year
approximately 20 per cent Of the
2064,000 square miles dominated by
the Nazis and the italian Fascists-
40,100 in Africa, $1,000 in Sicily,
Sardinia, Corsica and Southern Italy,
and $4,000 in Russia. Despite this
substantial achievement in Europe
and Africa, however. it is obvious
that the bigger and harder part of
the job remains to be done before
Germany is reduced to it's proper
size. AS for Japan, as far as land
holdings are concerned, we have
done little more than nibble at the
outer edges.
1t may not be necessary, of course,
to fight for every inch of this enemy
territory. Germany, for example,
may collapse long before our Allied
forces march through France or
Yugoslavia, and the japanese
through decisive sea and air action
may be paralyzed before we move
into certain key areas now held by
them. But taken as a whole, the
picture suggests that we have a
bitter and formidable task before
us. In their desperation, the nearer
we come to their homeland, the
Nazis can be counted upon to fight
with the blind violence of the
trapped, and the same holds at least
equally true for their Asiatic part

air strip by concentrating heavy air
attacks against it, operating from our
own bases in the Gilberts and other
more distant islands, and from car
riers; but in order to maintain the neu-
tralization, we have to keep the at
tacks going. If we stop, the Japanese
can repair the air strip very quickly.
The only way to deprive the Japanese
OF the use of the air strip permanently
is to take it away from them. This is
negative gain, but necessary.
The positive gain is the conversion
of given air strip to our own use
This not only affects the relative bal
ance of air superiority in the surround
ing area; it also affects the ability of
the American forces to operate effec-
lively against other nearby Japanese
bases.
The more dry-land bases we have
within reach of a given objective, the
heavier the air concentration we can
bring to bear against it, Our carrier
based aircraft are proving far more ef-
fective than formerly against the Japa-
nese land-based Zeros, but when all
Is said and done, carriers are bases of
limited capacity; there are so many of
them available and no more, and they
can operate just so many aircraft, and
their bombers are not very big and not
very far-ranging. The most efficient
use of carriers seems to be for handling
fighters and dive-bombers for close sup
port of landing forces and of long range
bombers working from land bases,
though at short ranges the carrier
based bombers have done a good deal
Of damage.
When we get land bases, however, We
can make real use of our numerical air
superiority. At Tarawa, our nearest

Argentino's S Strange Course

The parallel between what Argen-
tina is doing today and what Italy
and Germany did in the first days of
Fascism and Naziism is too striking
to be anything less than highly dis
turbing to all friends of freedom.
Step by step, after they had come
to power, MusSolini and Hitler swept
away the primary guarantees of
individual liberty and democratic
self-rule. All political parties but
their own were outlaWed Private
enterprise and independent labor
unions ceased being either private
or independent. Freedom of speech,
press and assembly was killed off.
The parliamentary check on the
executive was negated. The courts
became the mere tools Of the ruling
clique under the Duce and the
Fuehrer, and in any number of other
ways a strict totalitarian dictator
ship was fastened upon the Italian
and German people.
An almost Identical pattern of
action seems clearly to be taking
shape in Argentina. Ever since it
overthrew the Castillo government
last June. the Ramirez regime has
been striking blows against liberty.
Everything not to its liking it de-
scribes as "communistic. 1t has
jailed democratic leaders. It has
taken steps against labor unions,
and it has begun seriously to abridge
freedom of speech. press and as
sembly Last week, formalizing a
situation that had obtained since
the revolution put it in Office, it
decreed the dissolution of all politi-
cal parties. presumably as a prelude
to establishing one-party system
like that set up by Mussolini and
Hitler. The press, moreover. has
been so bullied that even the most
powerful newspapers are loathe to
voice the mildest criticisms. In the
last week of December, for example,
some fifty periodicals were sus-
pended for offending the sensibilities
Of the group in power. and on Tues
day of this week a new Ramirez
decree created rigorous controls reg
ulating not only Argentine journal
ism but also foreign news agencies
and correspondents Under this
decree. editors will be obliged to
print what the government says they
should print and to refrain from
printing what the government says
they should not print.
MuSsolini and Fascism have al
ready been smashed, and Hitler and
Naziism are in the process of meeting
the same fate, but still the Ramirez
government is using both as a model,
as if they and not the forces of free
dom, were to control the world of
tomorrow. To put it mildly, the
situation seems strange and illogical
and if it does offend the Argentine
people, then the Argentine PEOPLE
are not nearly so prodemocratic as
they have consistently been reported
to be. In any case, its present
policies is not winning friends for
Argentina either in the United
States or in any other country dedi-
Gated to the task of destroying both

definitely was settled in the minds OF
the Soviet leaders when plebiscites were
held in the Baltic states and in Eastern
Poland. The plebiscites were held while
Russian troops were in control of Latvia,
Lithuania, EstOnia and certain portions
of Poland which were handed over to
Russia by the NaZis in 1889 in accord
ance with previous agreements. All
these territories became constitutions
ally" part and parcel of Soviet terri
tory although the United States Gov
eminent refused to recognize them as
such.
At the time, Russia was Hitler's ally
and not member of the United Ma
tions. Thus, 1t was logical for the
United States to take a stand against
what was then described as a violation
of the rights of the inhabitants of those
republics.
The fortunes of war made a dramatic
change in the situation. Within two
years Russia was fighting Germany. and
has contributed militarily more than
any other member of the United Ma
tlons to Hitler's prospective collapse.
Russia's plans regarding the border
states were well known to the high
officials in Washington, including Sec
retary of State Hull. Some arrange
ments regarding the postwar world were
discussed at Moscow. They, together
with the military arrangements reached
at Teheran. assured Russia's continued
cooperation with her Allies and asso-
ciates in the war against Germany.
In the light of what is happening
now, 1t is likely that the practical
questions of the border states were only

retary Anthony Eden in his report on
the conference indicated that while he
was satisfied with the results of the
