Mr.. Morqenthou Leaves

The decision of Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau to leave the
Truman cabinet blends readily into
the picture of the change which has
come over Washington's official
family.
Like Harry Hopkins, he came to
the Nations Capital from New York
in the early days of the New Deal
as an intimate of the late President
Roosevelt. To the latter, in his
lighter moments, these two were
Harry the Hop" and Henry the
Morgue." Both of them were "Roose-
velt men" from beginning to end
loyal, capable and courageous. But
these qualities which endeared them
to the late President and enabled
them to work with him as a team
could prove to be liabilities rather
than assets under a changed ad-
miniStration. With new President
in the White House, there necessarily
come changes in outlook, in method
and in mood which would call for
difficult adjustments on the part of
men like Mr.. Morgenthau and Mr.
Hopkins.
AS Secretary of the Treasury for
almost twelve years, Mr. Morgenthau
had anything but smooth sailing
He was not popular with many of
the key figures at the Capitol and
he made enemies throughout the
country. But his administration of
the Treasury Department is not to
be judged on any basis of person.
alitieS. From the beginning of the
war in Europe he has fought hard
for sound fiscal policy, based on
the wholly correct belief that the
cost of the conflict should be
financed to the greatest possible
extent through current taxes and
direct borrowing from the people.
That we have not gone further in
this direction is no fault of his. He
also was prime mover in the nego-
tiation of the Breton Woods agree
ments which, when finally ratified,
will be potent factors in improving
economic conditions throughout the
world.
When he leaves the cabinet, Mr..
Morgenthau will take with him the
satisfaction of knowing that he has
stood firmly by the principles in
which he believes, and history may
indorse a larger number of those
principles than meet with, public
appreciation today.

Walt Mason's Style Adapted

Neighbor Jones to me, was just a dis
NAL failure and think that you'll agree.
Inform me just what good 1t did; you
know 'twon't bring us peace. 1t won't
change human nature; do you think
that wars will cease?
The Charters full of IFS and butts and
weasel words and such. The Big Five
have the whole darn say and the rest of
them not much. It's just another dog
gone league; they never should have
met. Twas just waste OF money, man:
it's bound to fail, I'll bet"
let him rave five minutes thus, and
then I took the floor and told my good
friend, Neighbor Jones, that could
stand no more. why, man alive" says
l to him, you're talking like loon.
You have no faith In mankind, Jones;
you chant a cynic's tune. OF course,
the Frisco Conference has still to show
its worth, but why condemn it ere it
startsa Let's celebrate the birth! When
SO nations meet and talk, agree upon
plan; who'll dare to say they're not

why"

Philippine Windup

The complex campaign for the
recovery of the Philippine Archi-
pelago is, militarily speaking, COM
pleted. That is the heartening state
ment officially announced by Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, whose report
contains an analytical survey of the
entire operation, with detailed data
to furnish the factual basis for his
generalizationS.
The Philippine campaign started
on october 20 of last year with the
landing on Leyte, medium sized
island midway between Luzon and
Mindanao. The Japanese reacted
vigorously to our initial thrust, send
ing in reinforcements regardless
of losses and risking their battle
fleet in a supreme effort to check
the invasion. This slowed down our
progress and caused us heavy losses,
but the ultimate result was that
Japans hold over the entire archi-
pelago was weakened and that our
invasion tempo could be proportion
ately stepped up. The invasion of
Luzon went more easily than that
of Leyte and the capture of Manila
gave us the major base we needed
for our larger strategic aims. The
recent cleanup on both Luzon and
Mindanao has broken the last organ
lied resistance. All that is left are
shattered remnants to be hunted
down in the mountainous jungles of
Luzon, Mindanao and few of the
smaller islands.
The original japanese garrisons in
the Philippines consisted of % divi-
sions, which, with service elements,
totaled 100000 troops. OF these,
100000 have been killed or died of
wounds and disease; few prisoners
having been taken. Since every
sizable island was occupied by the
Japanese and had to be fought for,
the combat area totaled 115,600
miles, larger than the combined
areas of New England and New
York State, with a native popula-
ton of 100000. This immense and
extremely complex job was done in
$50 days of campaigning by II Amer
lean divisions.
Macarthur goes on to point out
the momentous consequences of
our complete recovery of the Philip
pines. We have thereby acquired
"a great land, sea and air base for
future operations both to the north
and to the south, comparable to the
British Islands" in their use against
Germany. The main Japanese sup
ply lines with their stolen colonial
empire to the southwark have been
cut, with the consequent collapse
of the enemy's imperial concept of a
greater East Asia co-prosperity
sphere.
These and other attendant gains

1t would be like our forces, from the
highest level downward, to have some
friendly contact with the French peo-
pie; yet even our oficers treat French
military men Of the same rank as though
they were an inferior breed. Three
little incidents illustrate this. Recently
three French officers, two majors and a
colonel, walked into the bar Of luxury
hotel which has been requisitioned as
an American club and ordered drinks.
An American sergeant put them out of
the place-only British and American
officers were admitted. Higher-ups sus-
tanned the sergeant. One must only
ask why such psychological stupidity9
These officers entered hotel in their
own city where they had often gathered
at the bar previous to the German occu-
patton. Now they find they are in the
anne position as under the Germans
Except that they were not then in uni

Due to lack of liaiSon and absence of

is unfortunate for the world the San
Francisco Charter wants to build.

Prime Minister Curtin

Australia'S Prime, Minister John
Curtin, is the second prominent
Allied leader to pass from the stage
before the day of final victory over
the Axis. Like the late President
Roosevelt, he was an indefatigable
worker in the Allied cause, and when
the exacting duties of his office be-
gan to undermine his health he,
too, refused to diveSt himself of the
responsibilities and burdens which
contributed to his death.
In the early days of the Pacific
war, when the threat of Japanese
invasion hung over Australia, Mr..
Curtin was among those who were
disturbed by the policy of concen-
trating the main Allied effort against
the Germans. In December, 1912, he
said he agreed with statements,
attributed to publications in the
United States, that the "Hitler-first
policy was being overdone and that
the United States should send more
land, naval and air strength to the
Pacific. Those, he said, were views
which the Australian government
has repeatedly put to leaders OF the
United Nations" A year later, how
ever, when the course of the war had
begun to turn against Japan, Mr..
Curtin told the Australians that
there was no short cut to victory, and
that final victory in the Pacific must
wait on events in Europe.
Mr.. Curtin's task as Australia's
wartime Prime Minister was not
made easier by the domestic political
problems with which he had to deal.
He took Office in October, 194l, two
months before Pearl Harbor, with
slim majority of two in the Austria
liam Parliament. In June, 1e43, his
government survived a motion Of
mo confidence" by only one vote.
Thereupon, he decided to put the
fate of his Labor administration be-
fore the voters of the common
wealth. And, waging the campaign
on his conduct of the war, he won
q decisive victory.

'Global Election in England
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

1t is now almost a commonplace to
say that this war is total and global
war. We read these words and pass
them by as accepted facts. But they
have a meaning not only for present
necessities but for future policies-both
military and political Hereafter the
policy makers of every great power must
think and plan in global terms.
Time was when the Monroe Doctrine
was SUFFICIENT basis for American Secu-
rity 1t Is so no longer. Defense cannot
be hemisphere, as two global wars have
demonstrated to us-wars which We
vainly thought we could stay out Of
Security today Is global security, or it
is not security at all but vain delusion,
a signpost on the road to disaster,
1t is within the framework of the
global strategy which must guide our
future policy that we must consider the
demonstrated fact that the United
States and the scattered nations of the
British Commonwealth form strategic
unit of worldwide proportions. That
Canada's security is indistinguishable
from our own, all Americans are ready
to admit. But we must look beyond the
hemisphere: We must realize that II
we are to play an active part in worl0
affairs, we must be prepared to use ou"
power to support our policy.

Justice Arnold Resigns

The resignation of Justice Thur
man Arnold from the United States
Court of Appeals for the District.
while unexpected, will not be re-
ceived by his friends with great
surprise. Although he has been on
the bench a little more than two
years, his personality and tempera-
ment are not of the sort that one
usually associates with judicial robes
and the subdued atmosphere of the
courtroom. BY training as well as
instinct he is an advocate, a hard
and relentless fighter for the things
in which he believes. Consequently,
his decision to leave the court and
resume the practice of law Is not
difficult to understand.
In his letter toe the President,
Justice Arnold said that it is his
intention to resume as a practicing
lawyer the fight against monopolistic
practices with which his name was
prominently associated as Assistant
Attorney General in charge of the
Antitrust Division of the Department
OF Justice. He did not state speci-
flcally how he expects to accomplish
this in the role of private citizen,
but whatever his approach, it will
be watched with interest. For there
is one thing about Thurman Arnold
which distinguishes him from many
OF his New Deal associates in the
antitrust crusade: He is opposed to
all monopolies that are inimical to
the public intereSt-those practiced
by labor unions as we'll as those prac-
ticed by business. And his failure
to curb what he regarded as unlaw-
full labor monopolies, while serving
in the Department of Justice, was
due to an unsympathetic Supreme
Court and not to any lack of effort
on his part. Mr.. Arnold's approach
to this problem, as attorney for
business interests, will be we'll worth
watching.
When his resignation becomes
effective on July 10 there will be
two vacancies on this important
appellate court. And 1t is to be
hoped that President Truman, when
he selects men to fill them, will give
sympathetic consideration to the
claims OF the District for some repre-
sentation in the Court of Appeals
which handles all local litigation. 1t
is true that much of the work of
the court is national in character
But 1t is also true that 1t is the sole
Court of Appeals for District liti-
gants, and there is no basis on which
the arbitrary exclusion of District
candidates for appointment to this
bench can be justified.
