Two jimu and Home

Here in the comfortable security
of America, no matter how vivid
the language of the news dispatches
and no matter how sensitive Oul
tmaginations, we can get merely
pale approximation of what is hap
pening on Two Jima The stories
tell us that the marines there are
engaged in the bitterest battle yet
fought in the Pacific, and the casual
ty figures are heavy enough to lend
grim emphasis to that. But We are
too. ia, removed from the reality
Itself, too far from the smoke and
flame and laundering violence t.
know what the ordeal is actually
like. Only the brave Americans who
are in the thick of it, who are look
ing every minute into the face of
death under a hell-fire of mortar
shells, rockets and artillery barrages,
can have the full awareness of it.
To have that same awareness, it
would be necessary for us to be with
them, sharing with them their great
and terrible experience and having
In our own hearts and minds the
tumult that is in theirs. Yet, though
Two Jima thus is far less real to us
than 1t Is to them, there is clearly
enough of its essence in the press
reports to inspire all of us in this
country, and to humble us little,
and to make us wonder-!n face of
their heroism and fortitude--how we
can justify our complaints ever pet
ty wartime restrictions, and our
haggling over wages and prices, and
our hesitancy to do such necessary
and nonsacriflcial things as mobi-
lizing our industrial manpower. Two
Jima is not so distant, surely. that
we cannot see it as something which
very greatly shames selfishness and
faintheartedness of any kind here
at home.

Nazis Face New Blow
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

That great co-ordinated blow from
east and west against the German
armies is close at hand is clearly indi-
Gated in Field Marshal Sir Bernard L.
Montgomerys order of the day issued
Sunday.
The Russians would naturally like to
wait until their offensive front has come
fully up to the Oder from Frankfurt
north to Stettin, and until the German
obstructive garrisons in Grudziadz, Poz-
nan, Glogau and Breslau have been
wiped out.
The Anglo American commanders
would like to wait until the German
reserves have been fully absorbed on
the flanks, so that their blow In the
center can be quickly decisive, and they,
more than the Russians, need good
weather. Having less proportional
superiority in ground troops, they are
more greatly dependent on their over
whelming superiority In the air.
-
In the adjustment Of all these factors,
the probability is that the great blow
viii come when conditions on the two
fronts, considered us whole. are as
close TO the ideal as possible, Dut before
the ideal situation has been attained
on either front.
The basic facts on which the great
offensive will depend for victory are the
possession Of greatly superior forces, and
the difhculty imposed on the enemy In
moving to meet the offensive by reason
Of the ability Of Allied air power to in
terfere with his internal communica-
tions.
As to the ground fronts, that on the
east has not undergone any basic
change for some days.
On the western front, preparatory.
moves are going ahead. Gen. Crerar's
LIST Canadian Army has virtually
cleared Goch OF the enemy. The Ger
mans have been able to, stop his
progress along the Rhine. toward CAL
car, temporarily, but only at the cost

At Teheran the fate of Poland had been
only blueprinted by the Big Three. At
Yalta the final settlement was reached
on the. basis Of military realities rather
than on the principles Of the Atlantic
Charter.
But the British Parliament, which
recognizes more than ever before how
valuable the Charter could have been
for Great Britain If fully applied to Eu-
rope, is likely to needle Mr.. Churchill
when he discusses the Yalta agreements
in full-dress debate next week. There
Is strong feeling, particularly among
the military men, that the British and
American governments have not stood
up for the Poles, whose soldiers and
aviators have behaved so valiantly even
when fighting for their country in for
eign lands.
The British ayiators feel that Brit
ain owes deep debt of gratitude to
the Polish flyers who did "magnifi-
cent job" in 1910 and 194l for the de-
Tense of London. Censorship has pre-
vented publication of an incident which
occurred few months ago in Scot
land when the officers of British
air unit officially called on their Polish
colleagues some 20 miles away. The
British presented their regrets for the
words Of the Prime Minister, who had
indicated in speech that Poland would
have to be sacrificed.
More recently, significant manifes-
tation occurred on the Bologna front
in Italy which is partially held by
Polish forces. Gen. George C. Mar
shall, accompanied by Field Marshal
Sir Harold Alexander, 1t. Gen. Nc
Narney, It. Gen. Clark and other high
ranking American and British officers,
called on the Polish commander, Gen.
Wladislaw Anders, to congratulate him
on receiving Americas Legion of Merit
for bravery against the enemy.
The incident took place on February
IL, few hours before the release Of
the Yalta communique which sounded
the death knell of Poland. The group
OF American and British generals, some
OF whom had just returned from the
Black Sea conference, did not mention
politics but went out of their way to
be most cordial and complimentary to
the Polish commander, who could not
quite understand the reason for the
unprecedented demonstration. 1t was
only several hours later when the edi-
tor of the Polish soldiers newspaper
in Rome informed him of the COM
munique that he realized the reason
for the American and British generals
gesture.
But, in spite of the feeling in Britain
and to less extent in this country
and in spite of the protests which will
be voiced by many members of Con-
gress and Commons, the fate of Poland
has been settled with finaity which
cannot be changed

membership In their unions, they may
not discriminate against any member.
employer, employe or individual seeking
employment because of race, creed or
color.
The effort to pass this kind of legis-
lation has met resistance in both Albany
and Washington. It has been charged
that such laws would cause great race
friction in many localities, and lead also
to endless complaints which would work
great damage in industry and to en-
ployers and employees alike However,
the demand for this kind of legislation
has been active-and it has back of 1t
the CIO and its PAC.
However. the probabilities are that
action will be quicker in Albany than In
Washington. Experience with anti
lynching bills and antipoll tax bills in
the Senate of the United States gives
pause-especially as the proposed FEPC
bill, now supported by the House Labor
Committee, Is regarded in some quarters
as more drastic. more likely to cause
trouble than either antilynching or
sntipoll tax laws.
One thing seems quite certain If New
York puts through a law against dis
elimination in employment, opponents
of Federal legislation will demand that
the States-aI 48 of them-be allowed to
deal with this problem-instead of hav-
ing Federal law.
Gov. Dewey and the New York Tem-
porary Commission Against Discrimina-
tion take the view that such law, with
peace times in the offing, is essential.
They realize that it has its ills and that
1t may result in lot Of friction. But
in the opinion of Gov. Dewey the fric-
ton that may arise will be far less than
II there Is no law. In the first place,
Negroes and men and women of all
races and creeds have been drawn into
the war. either the fighting forces or the
war plants, in big way. Not only is
1t unfair to them to deny them jobs in
peacetime, but such action will inevi-
tably lead to tremendous unrest and
possibly strife.
Gov. Dewey, 1t is said, believes than an
evolutionary process Is better in the long
run. But he contends that the country
confronts an immediate condition, not q
theory, and that something must be
done about it.

Congressional Poy

In telling subcommittee of the
House Judiciary Committee that
Congress ought to vote itself a sub
stantial pay increase and a pension
program, Maury Maverick, head of
the Smaller War Plants Corporation
and himself former member of the
House. lends effective support to
proposal whose merits undeniably
Justify its prompt enactment.
Mr.. Maverick would increase Con-
gressmen's salaries from the present
$4,000 year to at least $4,000. In
this he is more conservative than the
National Planning Association and
other impartial groups advocating a
raise to $25,00O as one of the steps
needed to improve the efficiency of
Congress and to make membership
there attractive to men of outstand-
ing ability. Whatever figure may be
best, however, there can be no doubt
that the Nations Representatives
and Senators-in view of the hard
work most of them do, the special
political and social expenses they
have to bear and the responsibilities
OF their ofice-are not receiving the
compensation they should get on
grounds of ordinary fairness, if for
no other reason.
There is more than a little truth in
Mr.. Mavericks assertion that as a
result of the great increase in living
costs since their present salary was
fixed in 1924-more than 20 years
ago-most members of Congress are
relatively poor men and getting
poorer, fast" 1t is fact, at any rate,
that objective studies have shown
that the average Congressman
stands a good chance of going
financially into the red on what the
Nation pays him today. so that
unless he has an independent in
come of sorts, he must be dogged by
q sense of insecurity which no man
in his position should have and
which is certainly not conducive to
improving the legislative branch of
our Government.
This situation undoubtedly would
have been rectified long ago, were it
not for the fact that Congress itself
which alone has authority to in
crease the pay of its members lis
afraid of being misunderstood by the
American electorate, especially now
in a period of wartime wage con-
trolls. There has always been con-
gressional timidity in this respect,
largely because the public in general
has reacted adversely nearly every
time the House and Senate have
granted themselves pay raises More
over, it is fresh in the minds of pres
ent Congressman that when legisla
ton was adopted at the time OF
Pearl Harbor to bring Senators and
Representatives within the civil
service retirement system. such an
ill-informed hue and cry was raised
that the measure, though sensible
was repealed.
Perhaps it would be politically i'm
prudent. on the basis Of past expe-
rience. for Congress to act on the

Meanwhile, in the center of the front,
along the Roer River, the LIST and 9th
Armies and the bulk of the I'd British
Army farther north are waiting for the
Roer floods, loosed prematurely by
the Germans, to subside.
Looking at the map, it might be con-
jectured that Patton's operations are
intended to protect the flank Of the
lst Army when the time comes for 1t,
Gen. Hodges to loose his attack In the
old direction Of last December, north
eastward toward Duren, while the 9th
Army and the British drive straight

Won Rundstedt, confronted with the
menace Of double development by Gre
rar on the north and Hodges on the
south, can meet the frontal assault Of
Gen. Dempsey and 1t. Gen. Simpson
when it is launched against his front.
This is classic battle e-planning- the
old plan OF Cannae, frontal attack plus
the development OF both flanks.
Whether Won Rundstedt will stand to
meet 1t. and take his chances, or
whether he will retire behind the Rhine
in the west as Guderian has retired
behind the lower Oder In the east,
only the future can disclose. It does,
however, appear that We shall not have
long to wait Tor the disclosure.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln


The first big test of legislation to
prohibit discrimination in employment
because OF race, creed, color. national
origin or ancestry-now a subject of
determined insistence in Congress
may take place in New York. The
State Legislature, under the proddings
Of Gov. Dewey and the State Tempo
rary Commission Against Discrimina-
ton. is expected soon to act on the
Ives-Holland bill-which, if enacted. is
to be known as the Law Against Dis
elimination"
In the House here bill has been
introduced by the chairman of the
House Labor Committee, Mrs. Norton
Of New Jersey. In its intentions and
operation the measure differs little
from the bill before the New York
Legislature-except the Norton bill,
deals expressly with business which
affects" interstate commerce. Under
the Constitution, Congress regulatory
powers are confined to interstate COM
merce - although the courts have
stretched the definition of commerce
TO cover even businesses within State
which have some effect upon interstate
trade. The New York bill, of course,
goes to any business within the State
The Norton bill also deals specifically
with employment by the Government
and on Government contracts.
To some degree, there is race be-
tween the New York Legislature and
the National Legislature in this matter
OF legislating against discrimination
because of race, creed and color in
employment. The two bills, the ma
tional and the State, are both COM
pulsory. They declare what shall con-
stitute unfair practices, both for en-
ployers and labor unions, in the matter
OF employment. They propose to set
up permanent commissions to carry
. out the proposed laws-and an employer
subject to the act is one who employs
six or more persons.
Among the things an employer may
not do, under these bills, is to refuse to
hire any individual because of race,
creed, color, etc. He may not discharge
any employe for similar reasons He
may not discriminate in the matter of
wages paid. The labor unions are not
permitted to discriminate either, be-
cause of race, creed, color, ETC. They
may not deny full membership rights
and privileges, they may not expel from

This Changing World
By Constantine BrOiOn

The ambassador OF the Polish gov
ernment In exile at London, DR.. Ed
GUARD Raczynski, was informed on
Tuesday by Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden that the recognition extended by
Great Britain to his government would
be Withdrawn as soon as the proviy
siQnal government in Warsaw has been
properly" formed.
Mr.. Eden is perhaps somewhat en-
barrassed in making this communica-
ton since Ambassador Raczynski, who
has represented Poland at the Court of
st. James since 1885, is the same man
who on August 25, 1899, signed the
British-Polish treaty Of military alliance
to offset the Russian German military
agreement signed two days earlier.
1t was the Earl of Halifax, the pres
ent British Ambassador to the United
States. who affixed his signature as
His Majesty's foreign secretary on that
discarded treaty. The United States
Government has not yet informed the
Polish government as to when 1t will
withdraw its recognition, but it is be-
ieved In diplomatic quarters that Lon
don and Washington will act simul-
taneously.

Whether this step will put an end
: to the Polish problem" is still question:
able. There seems to be resentment in
Britain,s political and military circles,
even stronger than in this country, over
the way the Big Three treated the Poles.
The British parliamentarians are in
better positition than their American
colleagues to demand full explanation
of Prime Minister Churchill's cabinet
policies.
In the United States members of
the Senate can talk as long and as
loud as they wish about international
problems and agreements but they have
no way of forcing the Government to
come out in the. open and explain why's
and wherefores of its action
The situation is quite different In
Britain. If the actions of government
are sufficiently distasteful to the House
OF Commons the protests of its members
compel the Prime Minister to ask for
vote OF confidence. If the result is ao-
verse to the government, the Prime Min
lister must resign and all his previous
commitments and agreements are of no
value unless they are indorsed by his
successor.
1t is not likely that because of the
present world turmoil the British parlia-
ment will deny Mr.. Churchill a vote of
confidence. Britain, like the United
States is placed in the same dilemma.
What can the Parliament members do
to void an accomplished fact?
Premier Stain made it very clear at
Yalta that the Polish problem must be
settled in his own way since Poland
already is occupied by a force of hun
dreds OF thousands of Russian soldiers.

Vinson or No vinson'

The War Labor Boards decision
to approve certain fringe" wage
increases for textile and packing
house workers raises. serious ques-
tions concerning the inherent
soundness of the proposed pay
boosts. But much more important
consideration has to do with the re-
sulting breach in the ranks of the
Governments own stabilization
agencies.
This is the essence of what has
happened: The board has said that
the workers are entitled to the pay
increases and has issued an order
to that effect. But Mr.. Vinson
is opposed to pay increases that
will necessitate price increases. and
he thinks the board should consult
the Office of Price Administration
and refuse to grant wage advances
If they will lead to higher prices.
The board wants Mr.. Vinson to as
sumo that responsibility. contending
that it's function is merely to deal
with each case on its merits.
1t seems quite unlikely. however,
that Mr.. Vinson, as one Government
stabilization agent, can successfully
turn down wage increase which
another stabilization agent the
WLB-has held to be justified. So
Mr.. Vinson, in effect, is put on the
spot by the War Labor Board. These
agencies. both concerned with
maintaining the line against infla-
ton, are working at cross-purposes.
What Mr.. Vinson will finally de-
eide to do is problematical But the
nature of the dilemma in which he
finds himself is revealed py the
comment of one of the union lead
ers involved, who declared: I'VE in
tend to get what the War Labor
Board says we are entitled to, Vim.
son or no Vinson" To round out
this picture, it is only necessary to
suggest that, in the present trend
OF events, it will not be long before

Board says we are entitled to. Vim
