War is like any other business
venture: In the beginning the
mistakes are frequent and costly.
But as time goes on, the machin-
cry begins to function more
smoothly and the operators be-
come more skillful at their jobs.
We hold no brief for our
present national management
and we believe that the return
of a Democratic majority TO
congress will prove to be one
of the greatest catastrophes in
American history. But even if
this tragedy should occur in
November. we may still pull
through. provided the admin
stration will allow the military
to operate that end of the bust
ness in which they are trained.
While the German high com
mand was conducting military
operations in World War II, that
nations armies were sweeping
everything before them and lay
ing the groundwork for the mas
terry of all Europe. The more sue
CesSful they were, the more Hitler
was tempted to "horn in" He
wanted the credit-and he got it!
His assumption of the military
leadership was probably the
principal cause of the German de-
feat.
This is almost the oldest story
in the long history of warfare.
The "boss- man" seems never able
to resist the yearning to inter
pose when his armies are Win
ming victories. Often it is ieal-
ousy of the glory going to others;
often it is the hunch that he can
improve up on the situation; Of
ten he drifts into it by degrees.
Practically always it has had fa-
tai results, as it would in any
large, complicated business en-
deavor if some inexperienced
person took over the manage
ment of its affairs,
We are at war now whether
we think so or not. 1t may run

acquiescence of Secretary Ache
son. Now we are not certain
whether we are going to defend
Formosa or not. The Secretary
Acheson of today is in complete
conflict with the Secretary Ache
son of January, when he an
nounced that our line of defense
was Japan, Okinawa and the Phil
ippines, and not one step beyond.
We see the same conflict in mill
tary policy. On February 2, 1850,
Secretary Johnson announced that
this country's defenses were
stronger at that time than at any
time since 1945, and were getting
tougher every day-'I want Joe
Stain 10 know that if he starts
something at four o'clock in the
morning, the fighting power and
strength of America will be on the
Job at five o'clock in the morning"
At that time he evidently thought
that an army costing $l4,000,000,-
900 a year was sufficient to accom-
plish that purpose. Today the
President wants 0,000,000,000 a
year and Secretary Johnson is
privately talking about $45,00O,-
100000 year.
OF course we cannot take a
chance, and the President will
get what he requests, but the
threat today is the same threat
the existed six months ago. 1
would vote more enthusiast
cally to double the dollars if we
could also double the intelli-
gence at the top.
IN the matter of economic con-

low rate of interest as to force an
infationary increase of bank re-
serves.
When we were told that the Ko-
rean attack was a complete sur
prise, the Central Intelligence
Agency was subjected to criticism
but its representatives claim that
it made the proper report of facts
in North Korea. Now it is said that
there was no proper agency to
evaluate the intelligence collected.
The entire Government seems
to be like a man who can feel
one thing with his right hand,
another thing with his left, and
can see other events before his
eyes, but has no brain in his
head to put together his various
sensations and develop a con-
sistent course of action.
DRESIDENT TRUMAN will be in
control of foreign policy and to a
large extent military policy during
the next two years. 1t is all the
more important that we have an
independent Congress to insist on
full information being supplied to
Congress and to the people so that
they may be able to judge the
soundness of the policies proposed.
1t is necessary to have Con-
gress independent enough to insist
that the President state clearly
what his foreign policy is. 1t is inn
portant to have a Congress which
will insist that we be told exactly
what kind of a war we may have
to fight against Russia, in order
that we can judge the necessity Of
the type of armed forces that may
be requested. It is important that
we have Congress that will insist
on policies to prevent rising prices,
if possible without resort to an
OPA detailed control of commerce
and industry and agriculture.
Under conditions as they are
today only a Republican Con-
greSs can be Independent. Only
by the election of a Republican
Congress can the people hope
for some kind of consistent ac-
ton from an Administration di.

Governor Talmadge pointed
out the fine contributions the
B'nai Birth Organization has
made to the state and nation. He
stated the organization deserves
greatest credit for having a.
chieved the final partition of Pal
estine and having there estab-
lished the State of Israel as a
haven of refuge and a homeland
for the oppressed Jewish people
of Europe. He also pointed out
the fine work during and after the
war in the armed services and
now in veterans affairs and hos
pitfalls. He stated the B'nai Birth
motto, "Benevolence, Brotherly
Love and Harmony" is identical
with the aims and ideals of our
Declaration of independence and
Constitution.
He said the B'nai Birth is a
civic and patriotic organization
and he paid high tribute for the
work it is doing not only in its
own organization but in other
civic organizations throughout
the land. He stressed how pleas
ed he was with the activities and
services of the B'nai Birth. He
emphasized the energies put
forth toward helping and assist

privileged children. The schol-

AS membership chairman of the

Yes, that's precisely my idea.

gave to the heather. The heather
said to the rabbi that he would
embrace Judaism, providing Hill

Torah while he, the heather, was

your neighbor what you would
not have him do unto you: this is
the whole law. the rest is COM

In that way I want Ellen to
continue to be Jewish. It is a
way of the heart whose education
should be the main purpose of our
teachers. All the rest is outward

Judaism is a fine human being

Whaling in the Antarctic may

of the Association of Norwegian
Whaling Companies.
Observing that under the agree
ment of 1914 the annual catch is
fixed at maximum of 10000 blue
whale units, Mr.. Moe added: ct
is possible that even this number
is too high, and that the question
may arise this year of lowering
the present limitation"
In this connection the Norwe-
gian expert pointed out that

equipped to catch as many as 22,-

the Newport tower. 1 mentioned
in a previous article that I found
in Client in Belgium tower stand

size and appearance as the New

the ruins of the Varnhem Monas-

practically duplicate of the
tower in Client. Like the tower in
Newport and also in Client, it had
no inside stairway; access to the
second floor being gained from an
other building. An ancient de-

stated that the first floor between
the columns was a lavatorium, and
the second floor was sanctorium
