she asked. There was shock in her
voice.
That's approximately the idea,"
he said, and grinned when he heard
the receiver click.
HE ROSE, put on his robe. and was
getting ready to shave when the
phone rang again. This time it was
Gwen. He sprawled comfortably on
the bed and prepared for a long,
cozy chat. But Gwen had other
plans.

asked sarcastically.

He was shaving industriously, and

she wasn't contrite, or apologetic.

"Okay. Duchess. That suits me

He wants to see you in his Office,

he could see her frown, and hear her
jaws click.

No Compromise Peace

ANY compromise peace with the
militaristic regime of Japan
will, we are afraid, leave a nucleus
around which the militaristic Japa-
nese will construct another war.
This will make necessary again the
sacrifice of thousands of American
lives and the next generation of
our soldiers, sailors and airmen
will die to complete a job that can
be finished now at a low cost in
American lives.
We say this with due apprecia-
ton of the enormous sacrifice that
many American homes will make
before the Japanese are completely
subdued. Our sympathy goes out
to the families and loved ones of
the men now carrying the ball in
the Pacific and to those who will,
in the near future, be represented
by husbands, sons and fathers,
transferred from the United States
and Europe. Even so, the one
must" before the United States
today is the humbling and effacing
of Japanese militarists. There is
only one way to do this job.

New Rationing Book

PEOPLE who complain about the
rationing of scarce commodities
emphasize the Inconvenience con-
rected with the system but they
overlook the greater evils that
would inevitably ensue in the event
that rationing is abandoned before
production catches up with de-
mand.
This comment is occasioned by
the announcement that a new ra-
ton book, 5, will be issued in De-
cember. 1t will contain only 1872
stamps, compared with 1884 in Book
No. 4, and is designed to last from
ten to fifteen months, if needed.
The new book will be smaller
than a dollar bill" and simpler in
that the new stamps will not have
both a letter and a number.
Also scheduled for distribution
in December is the third "a" gaso-
line book. This will be given to
23,O00,00O motorists and will con-
tain five sets of coupons, numbered
Ais through A-23. Distribution
will be through the public school
system as before.

Bomber Hits Building

THE CRASH of the Army bomber
into the 18th story of the 1922
story Empire State Building in
New York brought death to at
least IS persons and precipitated
a tragic disaster for many others
in the skyscraper.
The plane, it appears, was fly
ing below the 1913 tower. Hitting
the side Of the building the bomber
sprayed flaming gasoline in and
around the top floors, burning
some of the inmates of the struc-
ture to death in a few seconds.
An accident Of this kind was
freely predicted in the early days
of aviation but, so rigidly have
flying safety rules been observed,
only few buildings have been hit
by aircraft and most of these by
falling planes.
In considering the accident, we
should not overlook the fact, cas-
lily forgotten, that millions Of
flights are made safely and that
only rarely do pilots, through
necessity or carelessness, risk the
lives of people on the ground.

Americans Should
Remember

SPEAKING at the dedication of
a memorial to American pris-
oners slain by German S. S. troops
during the Battle of the Bulge,
Ambassador Charles Sawyer char
acterized the slayings as lone of
the most senseless and brutal mass
murders of Germany's horrid his
tory"
The Ambassador warns Ameri-
cans against too soon forgetting
the devastation" brought on by the
German nation and sees repeated
evidence" that American soldiers
are showing the emotional trends
of the last war, when they devel-
oped resentment toward recent
allies and ga feeling of tolerance,
if not outright friendliness, toward
our recent enemies"
"Once MORE" declares Mr.. Saw
yer, 1--WE hear from those who are
SOLICITORS about our recent enemies
and we talk about possible Difficult
ties and disagreements and trouble
with our recent allies" He ex-
pressed the hope that Americans
will remember (1) the atrocities
of the Germans, and ~ the great
contribution of our allies and the
sacrifices made by them and by us
to win the victory.

The Presidents informal visits to
the Capitol haven't hurt him. Nor
his formal ones. After his last APP
pearance, when he delivered the
charter, he fingered so long in the
senate chamber, shaking hands and
patting backs, that an aide had to
hint gently that he wasn't a senator
any more and must hurry back TO
his work.
His cabinet appointments are
highly significant. Truman's secre-
tary of state, James Byrnes, is not
only former senator, but former
Supreme court justice. Byrnes pro-
vides an understanding link with the

Excitement Uniustified

SOME of the opposition, which
was very slight, to the ratifica-
ton Of the proposed United Ma
tons charter is based upon the be-
lief that it is necessary to limit
the power of the American repre-
sentative in connection with the
possible use of force.
1t seems to be the opinion of the
opponents that there is great dam
ger in permitting this country to
have representative sit in with
the world organization. The fear,
as near as we have been able to
detect, is that our representative
might vote for the use of force
against the interests of the nation
and the will of Congress.
The same objection can be made
against every diplomat who repre-
sents the United States abroad.
Our ambassadors can easily get
the nation into trouble They can
make foolish commitments if they
become irresponsible. Fortunately
we do not have men of that type
representing the nation and there
is little reason to suspect that we
will have an imbecile as our rep
resentative to the world organi-
cation.

Unprecedented"

IN A SUGGESTION, described as
Unprecedented" Arthur Besse,
president of the National Asso-
citation of Wool Manufacturers, has
advised mill members of the AS
ISOLATION to turn over unexpected
profits, resulting from the sale of
goods retained after Army cancel
lations. to the Government.
Mr.. Besse points out that the re-
cent cancellation of 32-ounce over
coating fabrics contracts proved
that the market was Unexpectedly
good and that in some instances
large profits were made. Express
ing the opinion that his industry
does not want "to make extra prof
its out of cancellations of Army
contracts" he suggests that the
mills make an adjustment of their
retention offers.
We are not an expert on wooden
mills or the sale of wooden ma.
terials and we have no idea how
many mills will accept the sugges.
ton of Mr.. Besse, but, just the
same, it represents the highest in.
dustrial leadership. Moreover, a.
he suggests, "any other policy il
short-sighted in the extreme. Ever
so, the action Of this official of q
national association deserves gen

Fear Influence
of Party Bosses

OF course, when it comes to ques-
tions like the poll-tax and the fair
employment practices act or any
other measure in which the race
question is involved, the old friction
arises with the southern congress-
men and any Republicans they can
attract to their cause. Also, while
there are those who say that the
President is steering a course much
farther to the right than President
Roosevelt did, he nevertheless is
committed to a number of the So
called New Deal reforms" both be-
cause of his record in the senate and
because of his natural leanings.
However, since Truman is known to
be a strong party man, it will be
easier for him to keep the southern
Democrats in line.
OF course, some of the radical
New Dealers are doing lot of eye
brow raising behind the bushes and
a remark (perhaps written with
tongue in cheek which appeared in
the Wall Street Journal sent shiv-
ers down some spines. That news
paper, which hardly depends on
Democratic support for its circula-
ton, said recently: mot since the
short-lived administration of Warren
Harding has there been the prospect
of teamwork as exists today"
If the results of the Berlin meet
ing are such that they reveal
marked improvement in Big Three
relations and a harmonious settle
ment of some of the difficult inter-
national problems, the Presidents
prestige will be greatly increased.
However, by that time domestic dis
content will be crystallizing, the
honeymoon will be on the wane and
the President will need all the
teamwork" he can muster.
If the japanese war should, by
any chance, end suddenly-before
another year-it would mean that
reconversion, threats of imitation and
unemployment and hundred other
problems will be upon us and Presi-
dent Truman will be stripped of his
protective authority as Commander
in-Chief. Then the sings and ar
rows which even Roosevelts ene-
mics we're wont to defect to con-
gress and other government agen-
cies will be aimed squarely at the
man in the White House. Peace will
not be too peaceful at 5000 Penn
sylvania avenue. rr
