Frunce Is Grateful
By Dapid Laurence
From the Montreal lie Canada.


Sincere friends Of France and the
United States who deplore the misun-
derstandings which have arisen between
these two great democracies, are re-
joiced at the friendly action which
President Truman has just taken where
France is concerned. BY expressing the
desire to meet Gen. de Gaulle and by
Offering to France q part of the Amer
lean zone Of occupation, the successor
to the lamented President Roosevelt has
done much to restore his country and
France to their traditional cordiality.
>. The French people have received
with Joy the declaration Of President
Truman that France has come out of
the European war with increased power,
and they will note with gratitude his
words that the American people will
take all measures possible to further
the re-establishment Of France and of
her people.

that and that alone will preserve us
from the ultimate destruction of civil
ization which the continuation of war

The economic and social council is
to be composed Of l8 members. elected
by the general assembly of the United
Nations. No effort has been made to
carry into the economic council the
principle of great power unanimity
called for in the security council, No
provision has been made for permanent
membership in the economic council of
five great powers, although 1t may be
expected that representatives OF these
big powers will be included-the United
States, Britain. Russia. China and
France. All Of these five nations,
through their delegates have pledged
themselves to economic and social ad-
vancement of the world Presumably all
members Of the United Nations will be
given opportunity to serve eventually
on the economic council, for its mem
bers' terms are for three years, and
while reelection is permitted. rotation
Of the nations on this council Is fully
expected.
-.
DR.. Bertha Lutz, . member of the
Brazilian delegation and of the COM
mittee which drafted the provisions for
the economic and social council. sx-
presses hope that eventually all 50
member nations of the organization
will have representation in the council
at one time. For the present, however,
it was thought better to provide for q
smaller council, more closely knit and
more able to act quickly.
Women delegates to the conference
have had much to do with the draft OF
the economic and social council. Among
them. Dean Virginia G. Gildersleeve of
the United States delegation has played
principal part.

Disappointed in Stain

DASoPPoAAIASA HI 0taIlu
To the Editor Of The Star:
Guy de Maupassant, great French
novelist, became discouraged over what
he termed "the omnipotence of stupid
ity." He regarded mass warfare as un-
mitigated lunacy which settled nothing,
while sowing seeds of future strife. His
views were shared by Victor Hugo, Leo
Tolstoy, as well as a host of other think
ers and writer's. Even Gen. Sher-
man, whose memory still horrifies our
Southland, is alleged to have said: war
is hell"
In the First World War, Japan was
our Ally and destined to be a pillar of
the new order. After the recent Euro
pean conflict, Stain was expected to
do his share in establishing the four
freedoms. But evidently Joe has other
ideas. He appears determined to make
the world safe for the sovietx. Let us
trust 1t will not be case Of out of the
German frying pan into the Russian
fire for those who still believe we can
legislate brotherhood.

Wants PAY Bill Amended
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
For several weeks Washington news
papers have devoted space to the Fed
eral Pay Act of 1945, which would pro-
vide basic pay increases to Government
employees and alter or extend the pres
ent system of overtime compensation.
However, no more than the barest men
tion has been made of the fact that
the presently proposed bill does not ap-
ply to employees of such organizations
as the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, not operating under direct con-
gressional appropriation.
The opinion has been expressed that
the heads Of such organizations will
fall in line and match the provisions
Of the bill. There, however, is no as
surance that such action will be taken
The writer. presently an employe Of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, has civil service status, has been
employed continuously by the Govern
ment for five years and nine months
and is veteran Of World War I. There
are many others in this organization
with records of from 10 to IL years
continuous employment with the Gov
ernment. We are covered by the present
overtime provisions and are subject to
the same regulatory measures as all
other civil service employees
The proposed act is justified by the
existing differential between Govern
ment salaries and those of private in
dustry. Such differential exists as surely
for us as it does for employees of any
Of the old-line agencies and we just
as surely feel the effects of inflated
wartime living costs.
1t is understood that Representative
Randolph now seeks an amendment ex-
tending the benefits Of the bill to
District employees not under the CLASH
fication Act. If the interests of fairness
and justice are to be served, the bill
should be amended so as to extend the
contemplated benefits to all Govern
ment salaried workers as well as all
District salaried workers.

Mr.. Crubtree

Dying at eighty-one, James William
Crabtree already had been a legend
for many happy years. He was the
schoolteachers teacher in a sense
that could not be exaggerated
When he became secretary of the
National Education Association in
1917, the organization had only
eight thousand members classified
as active" BY the moment of his
retirement in 1885, it was believed
to be the largest professional body
In the world. But he did not win his
vast fame and popularity simply by
conducting enrolment campaigns.
The impact of his life upon the lives
of others probably is best illustrated
by his enterprises in relation to the
Nebraska State Normal at Peru. He
obtained his own training there,
then as the institutions president
between 1904 and 1910 developed
small army of lieutenants whom
gradually he distributed at strategic
points throughout the whole country
to the end that his ideals, his meth
DDS, his aspirations flowered in many
different places, including Washing
ton.
y. W. was no mere tactician,
however Those who, knowing him
best called him simply by his first
two initials, understood well enough
the rigidity of his convictions. Born
in Ohio, April 1S, 1864, he saw as
child the bitterness of Soul-cramping
poverty, yet he did not hate the
circumstance of being poor. The
sod house which was his home in
Western Nebraska when he was
boy may have been a miserable
shelter in comparison with other
residential structures, but he looked
back upon it afterwards with affec-
tion-if only because of the stalwart
efforts, the prodigious endeavors, to
which it prompted him. He came
up" by "the hard way and was
glad of it, remarking that he had
started close to the soil and that
some OF it undoubtedly had stuck
to him.
Though he was affiliated with the
university of his adopted State from
1897 to 1904, it was in the field of
common school" education that Mr..
Crabtree's heart most notably was
engaged His name will be remem-
bered In connection with the high
school movement which was a char
acteristic feature of the end of the
nineteenth century and the begin
ming of the twentieth. He con-
tributed to the lifting of high school
standards just as he did to the
elevation Of those of normal schools
In the Central West. It was the
record he made as president OF the
Wisconsin teachers college at River
Falls that brought him to the ad-
ministrative direction of the NEA.
He was secretary emeritus, often

tions with our great ally Russia, but a
letter which I received from my hus-

many times in their propaganda pro-

ians are thoroughly inoculated with the

ough, they are accurate. No one of us
has seen any suggestion OF trouble brew

Letters to The Star
Lists Advantages of Training
as Assets to Youth


To the Editor OF The Star:
I have been much interested in the
attitude Of some OF our educators In
their stand against military training.
1t is difhcult, indeed, to understand their
stand except that 1t be based perhaps
on well-founded fear that military
training will turn out to be a strong
competitive force in physical, character
and all-around down-to-earth educa-
ton.
do not propose here to debate the
international aspects but rather to con-
slider the value OF the training to the
youth alone. What values are there?
/. The youth is thrown into the COM
pany Of very wide cross section of men
and is better able, through this perspec-
tive, to evaluate men and to better place
himself in the general picture of life
2. Physical building. Surely no one
can look at our boys in the service and
question this. Has education as we've
known 1t in the past offered the physical
fitness given by the various services?
3. 1t will be an interiude in the life of
youth which will provide breathing
spell" in perhaps otherwise cloistered
scholastic life or a narrow industrial
existence. 1t will give him a chance to
take look see" about him through
the medium of association and activities.
4. There Is a certain side to character
which Is covered by being a real man
among men. In general, this is not and
cannot be nurtured in regular scholastic
schools to the extent shown possible
in the services.
With the decline of discipline under
the guise of "self-expression" in the
public schools, an exposure to discipline
most certainly will be a help to a large
number of youths now houndering an
academic freedom"
These are but very few of the values
offered by even very short period in
Uncle Sans services. A. C. s..

Truman's War Plan Hailed
By Maj. Georee FieIdins Eliot

There is one portion Of the Presi-
dents admirable message on the con-
duct of the Japanese war to which
particular attention should be invited.
Our military policy for the defeat
Of Japan calls for:
First: Pinning down the Japanese
forces where they now are and keeping
them divided so they can be destroyed
piece by piece.
Second: Concentrating overwhelming
power on each segment which we at
tack.
Third: Using ships, aircraft, armor,
artillery and all other materiel in mas
sive concentration to gain victory with
the smallest possible loss of life.
Fourth: Applying relentless and in
creasing pressure to the enemy by sea,
air and on the land, so that he cannot
rest, reorganize or regroup his battered
forces or dwindling supplies to meet
our next attack"
In other words, we shall continue the
program which has served us so we'll
all the way across the Pacific, of Sc
lecting and isolating our battlefields and
then destroying the enemy within the
isolated area; whereafter we shall use
that area as base of operations for
attack on the next segment Of Japanese
defenses.
Our sea and air power provides us
with the means Of thus isolating our
chosen battleflelds. We did exactly the
same thing when we landed in France:
We isolated the great segment of France
between the Seine and Loire Rivers, and
We destroyed the German forces within
it. A similar fate befell the German
armies along the Rhine: There, having
stronger forces available, We isolated
two segments simultaneously the
Rhine -Saar-Moselle triangle and the
Ruhr area-and again we succeeded In
destroying the German forces within
them.
In both these instances, the results
were SO shattering to the Germans that
they were unable to offer any further
effective resistance over wide area
behind the chosen battlefield. The re-
suit of the first battle was the expulsion
Of the Germans from France and Bel
gium and the advance Of the Allied
armies q the frontiers Of Germany:
The result of the second battle was
the Anal collapse Of all German re-
sistAnce IN the west. In both cases.

consulted, during the last decade Of

consulted, during the last decade Of
his career.
But what Mr.. Crabtree was cele-
brated for was not the Offices he
held so much as the example he
set. Simple, modest and patient,
he also was a man of fiery zeal,
indomitable courage, profound be-
lief in himself and in his fellow
men, never a compromiser, always
prophet faithful to the full demand
of his faith.
Evening star., 1945-06-12

the initial successes were followed up
by the most relentless and vigorous pur-
suit Of the beaten enemy fragments.
In the Pacific, we made a beginning
at Guadalcanal, and we have kept going
along the same lines ever since, with
the size and value of the enemy prizes
growing as we went along. In each
case, the idea has been the same: Use
our sea and air power to cut of an
area SO that 1t cannot be reinforced
or supplied, and then 60 in and wipe
out the resistance of the isolated jap
anese elements inside it. Where the
Japanese were able to send in REIN
forcements despite our efforts-as they
were able to do on Leyte, for example
we had setbacks and many difnculties;
where they were not able to do so, and
this was the usual condition, the cam
paigns moved ahead with mathematical
precision to the final success, which
has almost always involved the anni-
hilation Of the defending force.
Having applied this system success
fully to the outlying Japanese forces,
it would appear from the Presidents s
message that We are going to continue
to apply 1t to their main areas Of
power. II we assume that the Japanese
islands themselves will eventually be
invaded, as is altogether likely, we see
as we examine their topography that
they are well suited to the application
Of this piece-by-piec strategy. Some OF
the smaller islands can be cut on and
dealt with as one piece. The rugged
and mountainous Honshu, the main
island, can be cut up in strategic areas
and taken one segment at . time.
1t will be perfectly possible to do
this, and to prevent any chosen area
from receiving help from outside, once
the concentration Of force sufIiciently
near at hand has been achieved.
Meanwhile, the effect Of our naval
blockade, Of mining operations and Of
our mounting air attacks on Japanese
industrial centers will continue to drain
away the japanese ability to resist.
But 1t should be realized that the
Anal showdown in each combat area
will come when our ground forces 60
In to destroy the Japanese interior re-
sistance. We are not going to be able
to destroy this resistance by shelling,
bombing or the effects Of blockade.
