But profit may be defined in terms

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The Republican National Committee
has picked Connecticut dynamo to
be Its congressional aide"-former
Senator John A. Danaher. This is a
brand new job with many potentiali-
ties. Mr.. Danaher has definite ideas
both about what he is and what he
Is not to do. He holds that it is not
his job to tell Republican Senators and
Representatives how to vote. Indeed.
he believes that his usefulness would
be nil If he followed such course. The
national committee Is not a policy
making organization-and he himself
Is not policy maker. This Is the mega
tive side of the picture.
On the affirmative side, Mr.. Dana
her sees real opportunity for service.
His job will be to get over to the Re-
publicans and independent voters in
the country full realization of what
the COP members of Congress are
doing; to interpret to the country the
work of Republican legislators, In in
itiating legislation, in improving it. in
modifying it, and when necessary, In
opposing 1t.
The Republicans in Congress during
the Roosevelt administration have done
much to modify and improve legisla.

generally have not been informed along
these lines. Unless they are informed.

entirely negative
1t will not be his job to pick candi-
dates-as it is not the job of the ma
tional committee to mix In the nonina-
tions Of national or congressional officers.
What he can do and will do, however, is
to help inform the country Of the abil-
tiles and the work of the candidates who
are selected by their constituents and
by the proper nominating bodies, what
ever they may be. Mr.. Danaher will
work closely with the Republican sena-
torial ano congressional committees
whose immediate task is to elect Repub-
ucan members of Congress.
While Mr.. Danaher has no thought
OF the initiation Of policies" for the Re-
publlcans in Congress, either by himself
or through the national committee. he
has In the back of his head an idea thar
may work out later. 1t is that the Re-
publican party-now a minority party
writes down a set of principles only
once every four years, when it adopts
Its platform in national convention. This

Evidently working together, hand
in glove, the park authorities and
the weather man are promising
Washington one of its most beauti-
full Easter Sundays In history.
The people in charge of such
things, and they are not wanting in
visual evidence to back them up, say
that the display of blossoms in the
parks tomorrow will be unexcelled
and they are looking forward to a
crowd of Easter paraders who will
find more satisfaction in admiring
the works of nature than the Won
ders of the fashion designers.
But they are disturbed lest there
be repetition tomorrow of tend
ency shown last Sunday by strangers
to Washington who followed a nat
ural but objectionable impulse to
load themselves down with blossoms
plucked from the Towering trees and
shrubs in the parks Washingtonians
are SO thoroughly disciplined in such
matters that they associate picking
flowers in the parks with other high
crimes and misdemeanors. But the
police found it necessary to take into
temporary custody many otherwise
innocent strollers whose arms were
laden with the evidence of their
vandalism.
Of course, that sort of thing is not
done in city parks and the older
residents and others familiar with
the regulations will help the police,
and our visitors, if they suggest
friendly warning to the unthinking
trespasser who begins to collect an
Easter bouquet at the expense of the
taxpayers and resulting damage to
the park shrubbery.

This Changing World
By Consfonfins Byoics

With the war IN Europe rapidly near
ing It's close, the eyes Of America will
soon turn toward the Pacific, an area
that because the military leaders de-
cidcd to finish of Germany before
Japan, has taken second place In the
day-to-day headlines.
The Americans, who will bear the
brunt Of the fighting in the Pacific
just as they have borne 1t in Europe
since the Normandy invasion, have al
ready taken long stride toward Tokyo,
and when action is really stepped up,
there will be no reason to think that
victory over the Japs can be too far
away.
There are two schools of thought in
Washington as to just how long it will
take to crush Japan. One school con-
tends that the Japs. knowing little else,
will fight on and on until every last
one Of them is killed" The other be-
lieves, as military men have come to
believe by pase experience, that once
the bulk Of the army is whipped, the
rest Of the positions will disintegrate.
Newspaper readers who have followed
the European war closely remember well
that about year ago-just before the
AAAf 3llfOlf-
ing 1000 or more planes made large
headlines AS our troops moved onto
the continent. through France, Belgium,
Luxembourg and on into Holland and
Germany, the headline emphasis on the
raids naturally drifted to the point
where daylong attacks by fewer than
several thousand aircraft scarcely made
the paper
On the other front--the Pacinc-the
imagination of the American people
was aroused by the attacks of the giant
Super Fortresses, which first came by
one or two B-29s, then a few more, until
now the total has risen to about 800
Before great while we can expect
1.000-plane raids on Japan, and If the
Pacific war lasts long enough, these
raids-like those over Europe-will be-
come routine, as far as the reading
public is concerned.
But behind it all lies the great i'm
portance of aerial warfare and the
destruction done to enemy war produc-

between these four-year conventions. 1t
may be remedied, he argues, If represent
atiyes in Congress, selected by their Re-
publican colleagues, can meet with repre-
sentatives of Republican Governors,
representatives of the Republican State
chairmen, and representatives of the
party's national committee and discuss
the issues as they arise. In this way it
may be possible eventually to present to
the country principles and a program
really representative of Republican
thought.
Mr.. Danaher is devoted to the con-
tinuance of the two party system He
believes thoroughly that Republican
representatives in Congress should play
their full part in legislation, supporting
those legislative proposals they deem
wise and opposing the unnecessary and
unwise. Under the present Democratic
regime, legislation is put forward by the
President and department heads, who
have all resources of Government at
hand, including propaganda agencies
and appropriations to develop particular
lines of thought. The Republicans can
not draw on the departments except in
a limited way for aid 1t is necessary,
therefore, that these legislative pro-
posals be dissected, to find out what
they sare expected by Congress to do
ana what else the administration may
elect to do with them This is another
way in which Mr.. Danaher may be
of aid.
He has keen analytical mind He is
successful lawyer of years standing.
He made himself a reputation as a
hard-hitting, quick -witted debater and
as prodigious worker in the Senate. He
was voted by the newspaper correspond
ents at the Capitol, not long after his
entry into the Senate, the most efficient
Senator under As years of age, next to
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, and
still later, as the most valuable Senator
on the Republican side of the chamber
After his graduation from Yale and his
law STUDIES, he was appointed assistant
United States attorney for Connecticut
and held the Office for dozen years
two years after the Roosevelt admins
tratlen came in. He served as secretary
OF State Of Connecticut from 1882 to
1885. He has been active in Republican
politics since he left college. His ouali-
ncatlons Tor his new post are limitless.

ton and the vast Gripping ot his lines
OF communication.
Old-tin1e observers here who once
viewed with skepticism the value of
air bonnbardment have changed their
minds since the Allied forces have
crossed the Rhine and learned first
hand the amount of havoc and confu-
sion the raids have caused
1t is recalled that after the great
aerial attack on Casino year ago
1t was discovered the troops had great
difdculty taking the town because Of the
rubble. So-called "antiairpower" OBJ
servers at the time pointed to the Incl
dent as support for their claims that
bombers did more harm than good In
the overall strategy OF war.
Since then we have read stories and
seen pictures Of Aachen, Cologne and
numerous other German cities which
have been major targets Of destruction.
True, the cities had to be taken by foot
soldiers, but the pessimists Of the Cas-
sino era have switched over and now
are willing to concede that these cities
would have been able to hold out much
longer had they not suffered the pangs
Of aerial destruction.
The same, of course, will be true In the
case Of Japan.
And in this connection there has been
interesting speculation on the style Of
propaganda the Japs have decided to
use regarding raids. 1t is style that
differs entirely from that employed by
the Germans.
The Nazis decided early in the con-
flict to minimize the Allied air attacks
and have stuck to their guns all along.
The German leaders told their people
Berlin would never suffer, then when
1t did they played down the extent of
damage. Possibly that style didn't go
over well with the German people and
the Japs know it didn't.
At any rate, Japanese broadcasters
have been harping on the extent of
damage caused in Tokyo. One commen-
tator recently spent all of one broadcast
period describing the havoc in Tokyo
caused by fires from B-29 incendiary
bombs. They certainly know what
they're in for, and we know it, too.

sturn to defend the city to the last,
backed by fanatical SIS detachment
left behind to stiffen morale by
strong-arm methods. When the Al
lied attack began, organized groups
of citizens marched to take the de-
tenders in rear and tried to disarm
them. This incipient revolt was
quelled by the SIS. who shot down
most of the demonstrators and are
driving the wretched VoIkssturmers
to fight on with SIS revolvers and
tommy guns in their backs.
Thus the first furry of revolt has
been quelled in blood. And the
chances are that Frankfurt contains
more peace lovers than most Ger
man cities. Still, there can be no
doubt that civilian endurance must
be reaching its limits and that mil
lions Of Germans have no wish to
perish in suicidal catastrophe. arhe
Frankfurt affair can thus be re-
garded as harbinger of cumulative
disintegration.

Frankfurt as Portent

The violent peace demonstration
which took place on Wednesday
at Frankfurt-on- the Main is, in
several respects. an interesting de-
velopment. It is probably the first
OF other similar incidents as Hitler,s
Third Reich" disintegrates into
chaotic ruin.
Inere are good reasons why Frank
furt should have been the scene of
the initial civilian revolt against
Nazl orders for hopeless popular
resistance to the Allied invasion:
throughout German history, Frank
furt has been center of liberal and
international tendencies. During the
Middle Ages it was one of the leading
Tree cities" in that loose-jointed
political organization termed the
Holy Roman Empire. It's great bank
Ing houses did business throughout
the then-known world; imperial
diets convened within its fospitable
walls; Holy Roman Emperors there
received their elected crowns. Dur
Ing the federal period preceding the
foundation of the Hohenzollern en-
pire in 1871, Frankfurt was the fed
eral capital, and there the liberal
revolution of l848 temporarily stroye
to set Germany on what might have
been a progressive course.
These liberal traditions survived
the triumph of Prussianism. Under
the Hohenzollern empire, Frankfurt
was known as center of advanced
political thought, and when the First
World War turned against Germany.
Frankfurt was the scene of the first
big revolt against continuance of a
hopeless struggle.
With such background, it is not
surprising that history has tended to
repeat itself. What happened was.

valley OF the River Main,
Between these two outward sweens
from the breach, there still appears
to be some indication that armored
units OF the Sd Army are pushing east.
While early reports that Wurzburg had
been reached and that Nurnberg was
threatened are not confirmed by later
adviceS, there are new reports that Sd
Army tanks are threatening Eisenach
It would not be at all surprising if
there were very extensive attempts to
exploit the present German difaculties
by reaching communications centers and
air fields deep in German territory.
However, as to all such far-dung
movements, the necessities Of supply
must be kept in mind. A great deal can.
Of course. be done with air supply, but
that Is dependent on the weather.
Armored and motorized troops can
carry q good deal OF fuel along with
them, and virtual miracles have been
accomplished In the past in keeping
trucks rolling forward behind advancing
troops; but once in while the miracle

AS matters stand. the Germans have
already suffered ruinous losses. They
have, for example, virtually lost the
mining and manufacturing output of
the Ruhr area: even If an isolated de.
tense Of that area or part of 1t, is
attempted, its resources viii no longer
be available to the main German forces
in the interior.
With the Saar and Upper Silesia
already lost, the Germans will not be
able to support large scale operations
for any longer than their accumulated
reserves viii hold out. That means
that the scope OF such operations as
they do undertake must be reduced to
the scale which can be supplied from
the industrial output OF Austria, Czecho-
sloyakia and South Germany. all Of
which are more or less directly threat
ened by convergine Allied armies.
The German armies themselves still
remain, however, the principal obiec-
tives Of the great ofensives now in
progress. It is the losses In killed and
prisoners which are the true criter.on
of our success.

Footnote to Easter

The literature concerning Easter
very naturally is related to that
concerning Christmas. Taken to-
gether, they are as various as the
mind and the heart of man. In
volved in them Is everything that
people have thought and felt and
written about the most fascinating
changes in human experience-the
changes known as birth and death
and rebirth. Curiosity about such
mysterious phenomena traces back
to an unguessed time far more re-
mote than the era in which Christ
came into the world, performed His
mission, suffered, submitted to the
grave, yet rose again.
But the essential idea of Jesus
the idea that men might govern the
chances of their existence in terms
of righteousness and mercy-was a
novelty when He first set it forth.
He taught victory over pain and
sorrow and destruction, He preached
a triumph. over all those circum-
stances which through the ages had
made humanity miserable and futile
and helplessly despairing. The in
fiuence of His doctrine spreads con-
stantly wider and wider with sue
ceed1ng generations. 1t is found in
places where it is not expected. One
very unusual example of its power to
permeate the universal art of ex-
preston has been republished re-
Gently. 1t appears in a communica-
tion addressed to Every Child" and
reads in part as follows:
Please to fancy, if you can, that
you are reading real letter from a
real friend whom you have seen, and
whose voice you can seem to yourself
to hear wishing you, as do now with
all my heart, happy Easter
Do you know that delicious dreamy

summer morning .? It Is
pleasure very near to sadness, bring
ing tears to ones eyes like a beautiful
picture or poem. And is it. not a
Mothers gentle hand that undraws
your curtains, and a Mothers sweet
voice that summons you to rise? To
rise and forget, in the bright sunlight.
the ugly dreams that frightened YOU
so when all was dark? ..

us $" to divide life into two halves
TO wear a grave face on SUNDAY.
and to think it out-of place to SO
much as mention Him on a week
day. Surely their innocent
laughter is as sweet in His ears as
the grandest anthem that ever rolled
Surely your gladness need not
be the less for the thought that you
VIII one day see brighter dawn than
this when angel-hands shall
undraw your curtains, and sweeter
tones than ever loving Mother
breathed shall wake you to a new
and glorious day-and when all the
sadness, and the sin, and the dark
ened life on this little earth, shall
be forgotten like the dream of a
night that is past!
The date of these words was 1876
and the author-as many readers
surely will have guessed-was Lewis
Carroll, the gentle and sanity writer
of Alice in Wonderland" and
Through the Looking Glass"
