Views of the Press

Business is better than ever" says the amiable barkeeper. You can't get near this bar at noon, or in the late afternoon. Nobody cares what he pays for drink as long as he gets it and the crowds are bigger right along"
 One thing has not changed. The bartender, as of old, must be able to absorb all sorts of conversa- tional punishment from the cus- toners.
 "As long as liquor is sold,' Dick said, "the man on my side of the bar will have to be an adviser to the lovelorn, an authority on legal matters and willing listener with ready shoulder to be cried on. l could write book almost as, big as the Encyclopaedia Britannica on the causes of family rows and show by direct testimony why the man is al- ways right"

TIME TO ASK WHY

(NeW York Sum
 { Estimates of the number of dis charged service men who have kept their service insurance in force have been widely at variance. The official figures, even though they are not as d!Scouraging as some estimates, are bad enough, for they show that four out of five veterans who have been out of service for some time have let their insurance lapse. Men re- gently discharged make a better showing, with one out of three keep ing up this insurance. Presumably the passage of a few months makes the difference in the ratio. The life insurance business, the Veterans Administration and other agencies are as one in urging the veteran to keep up his national service insur- ance or to reinstate his policy if he has let it lapse. But this sound advice has fallen upon many deaf ears. It might be advisable at this time to supplement the advice with a few inquiries, addressed to a sampling of veterans, to determine just why so many men, under such varying circumstances, have let gc Of their end of good bargain.

The New York Times yesterday decided to try something novel in the way of an interview of the liquor question. It sent reporter to interview a man "on the other side of the bar. It didn't go around the corner" to a modern tavern, but to no less 8 place than the Waldorf-Astoria bar, where 1t located the genial barman, Dick OBrien. A quarter-column inter- view resulted, but one fails to find anything much in it that everybody did not already know.
 The chief bit of information gleaned was that drinking costs more now than it used to. Well, what doesn't? And the elbow-bend- ing fraternity are likely to remark: : You're telling us." However. the news may be that increased cost hasn't stopped drinking particle.

 Americas effort at the Neuen- berg trials to convict 6OO,000 little fuehrerS" of criminality is almost the answer to Edmund Burke $ famous dictum that T do not know the method of drawing up an in- dictment against a whole people" The reply becomes the more inn preSsive when it is understood that more than twice as many other Germans - 1,5O0,00O of them-may later be included in the list of those against whom criminal proceedings will be instituted.
 Considering the magnitude of this campaign to punish leaders, minor as well as major, of the na tionsl socialist party, it is perhaps no wonder that Lord Justice Sir Geof- frey Lawrence, presiding at the trials, is of the opinion that the United States has bitten off more than it can chew.
 Certainly it, will be difficult, first to collect evidence against so many men and, second, to present 1t in court of law in such way as to produce 8 verdict of guilty,
 The position of the United States is that the six NaA political or ganization are criminal in nature and that, therefore, membership in them should automatically be re- garded as a crime. That is some thing new in international law as well as in politics. If the Ameri- can prosecutors are successful, they will be establishing precedent which might have dangerous re- suits.
