farmers agreed to make wider use
Of labor and machinery pools.
Through these pools they share
their tractors, other heavy equip

agreed to exchange day labor for
the use Of neighbor's tractor, or

and pick UP % from the Democrats
and minor parties. Their victory in
recent weeks in the second Montana
district-a district which had been held
for years by the Democrats-has given
them courage. The campaign there was
fought out on national issues, they
insist. with an appeal by the Demo-
Gratis to uphold the hands OF their
new President.
The COP will endeavor not only to
capture control of the House but also
of the Senate. To dominate the upper
house, they must retain their 80 seats
and gain 10 from the Democrats. 1t
looks like a real job, although not i'm
possible If they are going to win a
majority of the House. Twenty Demo-
cratic Senators come up for reelection.
Eight of them are from Southern and
border States and several others from
Western States like Utah and New
Mexico which have been consistently
Democratic for more than a dozen
years.
Chairman Brownell, on his present
trip, will visit the Pacific Coast States
and the Mountain States. His purpose
is to help keep the State Republican
organizations on their toes: to find out
where help will be needed and so be
in a position to give that aid when
the time comes. This is his second
similar trip. He met with the State
chairmen of 13 Midwestern States sew
eral weeks ago.
A problem the Democrats have is to
keep lined up with them the liberal
and radical voters who. were devoted
to the late President Roosevelt but
who are today not so sure about Mr..
Truman. In fact, one Of the left
wingers In the House commented this
week that they have their fingers
crossed. This bears out recent state
ment from the CLOS PAC that it in
tends to be more nonpartisan in the
future When Mr.. Roosevelt was alive,
the PAC was virtually an adjunct of
the Democratic party. If there is any
big detection of this vote in industrial
centers, in the coming elections, the
Democrats may fare badly.
On the other side of the picture is
the fact that Mr.. Trumans selection
of his assistants is pleasing to the
West and Midwest, where the Demo-
Gratis have been weak.

fountains, many statues and other
monuments. Sanssouci proper was
put together for Frederick the Great
by Knobelsdorff between 1745 and
1747 and was that monarch's al
most constant" home after its COM
pletion. The rooms used by the King
allegedly still are preserved as he
left them.
Vastly larger and grander is the
New Palace, built between 1853 and
1859. 1t rises to the west of the
park at the end of a broad highway
and contains a marble hall capa-
cious enough for the purposes Of
the conference of the President, the
Prime Minister and the Generalis-
sino. The number of apartments in
the main structure is two hundred,
but there are additional accommo-
dations at the adjacent Orangery,
Florentine residence three hun
dred and thirty yards in length,
completed from plans by Hesse in
1856. On the terrace Mr.. Truman
will see the astronomical instru-
ments from the former Jesuit COL
lege at Pekin, cast in bronze by Chi
nese artists in 1878 and brought to
Potsdam by German troops in 1901.

determination Bon

The Inflated attempt by Anglo
American authorities to forbid frat
ernization in Germany has been
modified for the simple but COM
pelling reason that the order could
not be enforced.
Heretofore, American and British
soldiers have been supposed to con-
verse only with German children.
The Russians, meanwhile, were
fraternizing at will, and, judging
from all reports. American and
British troops were proving remark
ably adept at devising ways and
means of honoring the ban in the
breach.
The consequence of this, plus what
General Eisenhower describes as
successful "de Nazification" pro-
gram, has been relaxation of the
determination order to the extent of
permitting Anglo-American soldiers
Ito engage in conversation with
adult Germans in the streets and
in public places"
In the light of what has gone
before it is rather surprising that
this much-advertised but little-en-
forced ban has not been forthrightly
revoked. For the probable effect of
the modification will be to trans
form a failure into farce.

The population of French origin in
Quebec is 2,6e5, 200. OF that figure,

languages of this country. From such
a state of things, it results that mutual
understanding between nearly 100000
Laurentians and nearly 100000 Ca
nadians Of other origin is, If not i'm
possible, at least very difficult. In it
also is to be found the explanation
of many vexing questions. We are re-

mercial inferiority of French-speakins
Canadians enrolled in the active serv-
ices of the armed forces. The ignor-
ance of English, among a multitude
of our young men, has been an OBJ
stacle to the enlistment of thousands
of them in the air force, navy and
other branches Of the services. It Is
true that the Dominion government,

the first years of the war, courses In

young men of around 20 years of age

A Home-Front Need

Testimony before subcommittee
of the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee indicates that the Army is
now in position to release large
number of doctors for civilian prac-
tice. How fast the releases can be
made, however, is open to debate.
The War Department plans to let
out 1000 between now and next
May, but some Senator's insist that
this Is too slow and can be speeded
up.
Whether or not Speedup is pos
sible, there can be no doubt that
the home front is unusually short
of doctors. According to witnesses
appearing before the Senate sub
committee, there are only about
$4,000 in active civilian practice, as
against about 10000 serving the
Army, Navy and Veterans Admins
tration. The disparity here is very
great. For the public at large, it
has meant restricted medical serv-
ice during these war years, and for
many physicians out of uniform it
has meant extra work to the point
of heavy strain.
The war, of course. and the huge
size of our armed forces have made
it mandatory to call great numbers
of doctors into service. 1t is pos
sible that there may have been some
degree Of overstaffing. but the re-
suits in terms of saved lives and the
all-around health of our Army and
Navy have been so excellent that
the excess Of personnel---if any
can be readily justified. Never In
our history have our soldiers and
sailors been so well cared for; never
have American military establish

with an ample budget to carry on poiiti-
cal activity. Further, the Republicans
are face to face with an entirely new
situation-minus Franklin D. Roosevelt

not only is enjoying wave of popular

tion-entirely apart from the late Presi-

publicans will find it difficult to upset
the Democratic apple cart. They realize
this, and they are not going to let any
grass grow under their feet. They are
going to build up as many issues as they
can against the Truman administration
and the Democrats in Congress.

issues of the coming campaign, one
Republican leader is convinced that the

Union leaders have. moreover, thought
up more elaborate welfare plans than
almost any employer ever offered. The
unions used to charge that employers
welfare plans were offered to keep unions
out and. no doubt, in many cases that
was true. The same incentive now
moves labor, but in reverse.
Whether this labor policy means a real
trend away from dependence on political
action and Government paternalism is
not clear. But it is significant that
Louis Waldman, counsel for the News
paper and Mail Deliverers' Union, is
former believer in political action who
has more recently strongly opposed
communistic trends In unions. He has
strongly warned labor against Sidney
Hillman's tactics in New York politics.
Does this present policy indicate that
labor leaders are losing faith in a super
powerful Government?

Before the Meeting
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
The forthcoming meeting OF the big
Three" will doubtless serve not merely
to dispose of concrete points of dispute
which may be still outstanding, but to
set the relations of the three powers
on that new basis of confidence and
cooperation which the transition from
war to peace has made essential. Mean
while, however. much can be done in
the direction both of promoting the
settlement of specific issues on basis
of reasonable compromise and of re-
affirming the solid foundation Of future
security in Europe in the lasting unity
of the three principal powers; and here
the leaders of all three countries could,
both by public utterance and by re-
straining the controversial zeal of sub
ordinates, do much to restore an at
mosphere of reinsurance and confid-
ence. A contribution of particular value
could be made by encouraging a fuller
fiow of information.

Potsdun1

The scene of the meeting of Pres
ident Truman, Prime Minister
Churchill and Marshal Stain is the
German equivalent of Versailles. It
was created by two Prussian kings
who were Francophiles of a sort.
The name Potsdam, however, comes
from Poztupimi, supposedly Sla-
vonic word applied to little fishing
village which stood in the neigh
borhood as early as 993. Nothing
distinguished the place until the
seventeenth century, when the Great
Elector, Frederick william. built
residence in the Havel Valley. Most
of the modern town lies to the north
Of the river, roughly sixteen miles
southwest of the central portion of
Berlin. Normally, fifty trains a day
connect the suburb with the me-
tropolis. The trip ordinarily can
be made in an hour.
But the journey took longer in the
period of Frederick the Great. His
father started the work to which he
later devoted himself. Stiff mill
tary tastes are reflected in the
monotonous uniformity of the
Streets" but the critical view thus
expressed could be entertained with
equal justice with regard to Paris
and Washington as well. Potsdam,
like many other officially sponsored
cities, did not grow" 1t was

tion in Rome. Both Frederick Will

'Pre-Invusion Stuqe'

The war which the japanese, in a
moment of miscalculated treachery,
unloosed in the Pacific nearly four
years ago is coming home to roost
with vengeance.
With their own eyes, they have
seen their cities blasted and burned
by successive thousands of B-29s
and American and British carrier
planes, which range the skies above
Japan unchallenged and unchecked.
With their own eyes, they have
watched as big battleships of the
United States Fleet, cruising half a
mile off shore, blasted the sacred
soil" of the homeland with their
16-inch guns. They have heard
from no less an authority than
Admiral Nimitz that this is the pre-
invasion stage" of the war-that
which is euphemistically known as
the "Softening-up" phase which pre-
cedeS the actual landing of troops.
And, finally, they have been told by
Admiral Barley, the past master of
amphibious warfare, that invasion
of either the home islands or the
mainland may not await the ending
OF the typhoon season.
Little wonder, then, that Japan is
suffering from an acute attack of
the filters. Their navy, if any sub
stantial portion of it remains in
service, has gone into ignominous
hiding-an unforgettable object les
son in the futility of building a
navy inferior to the force it is de-
signed to meet in combat. We
assume, although we do not know
it as a fact, that the Japanese still
have at their disposal an air force
which must be reckoned with. But
in recent days, while Allied planes
and ships have been reducing the
homeland to shambles, it has been
conspicuous by its absence, and the
world is treated to the unprecedented
spectacle of the Emperor appealing
to his airmen to fight with all their
power "for continuation of the
safety of the throne" Meanwhile, a
Tokyo newspaper, conceding the
futility of trying to split the Allies,
bluntly informs the people of Japan
that hopes of victory based on the
possibility of Allied sdissenSion are
an invitation to "irretrievable polft-
ical confusion compelling surrender"
1t is difficult to gauge the true
meaning of these confused enemy
voices. 1t is possible, even probable,
that cracks are beginning to appear
in the enemy's morale. They may
have taken about all the punishment
that they can endure. But whether
this be so or not, there is but one
course for us to follow: Admiral
Nimitz says that henceforth I'VE
must take q series of certain and
progressive steps until the will and
the ability of the japanese people
to resist is broken" He does not say
what these steps are, but we-and
the Japanese-will learn that soon
enough. Until that time, we should
remember that what was true of
Germany remains true of Japan
final victory will be hastened in
direct proportion to our determina-
ton to bring ever-increasing pres
sure to bear against an enemy who
is hopelessly beaten and who almost
certainly knows it.
