POSTWAR PLANNING:
Stability Sought
Looking forward to the day when
the war will end and the cessation
of wartime production will pose
problems of providing adequate op-
portunity for a peacetime economy,
senate and house committees busied
themselves in developing a program
for the prosperous employment of
both labor and agriculture.
Most specific action taken was by
a senate committee headed by Mon-
tana’s Senator Murray, which sub-
mitted a proposal for an annual esti-
mation of the amount of expenditure
necessary for full employment and
the probable outlays by private in-
dustry, with any differences to be
made up by federal investment. Be-
fore the government would under-
take any expenditures, however, ev-
ery effort would be made to stimu-
late the flow of private capital.
While Senator Murray’s commit-
tee presented the proposal, a house
committee held hearings in Chi-
cago, 111., on means of bolstering
postwar agriculture;

Sweeping Over Europe
m
Attired in civilian clothes, and with some of their number carrying
mace-like antitank projectiles, Heinrich Himmler’s home guard parades
in Berlin.
WESTERN FRONT:
History Repeats
4 To many, the mighty
many, tne nugmy German
counter - offensive Field Marshal
Von Rundstedt launched against Al-
lied armies on the western front was
miniscent of General Luden-
_____’s last desperate throw of the
dice in 1918 in an effort to improve
Germany’s position for the negot -
ation of a peace.
Then, Ludendorff’s drive failed;
this time, resolute U. S. troops
moved in to stem Von Rundstedt’s
attack, with decisive Allied counter-
measures expected to not only blunt
the enemy’s thrust but also sap the
most formidable part of his force
and reduce his war potential for
next spring.
There was one difference between
Ludendorff’s suicidal gamble in 1918
and Von Rundstedt’s of this war,
however, and that lay in Hein-
ich Himmler’s success in holding
the German home front together to
supply the wehrmacht with men
and materials for the big drive. In
1918, on the other hand, Ludendorff
was faced with a crumbling home
fjpnt, once rising to a bawling rage
In those months because a tottering
government failed to provide suffi-
cient troops and supplies.
As the Germans’ desperate
drive developed, it followed the
pattern of other major Nazi at-
tacks of World War II, with pow-
erful armored spearheads
punching through forward de-
fenses and then speeding on-
ward to let the trailing infantry
deal with opposing elements sur-
rounded to the rear.
PACIFIC:
Put on Heat
All through the scattered Philip-
pine islands, the enemy came un-
der increasing pressure of U. S.
land and naval forces as the
Americans speeded up their attack
on this great archipelago guarding
the Japs’ vital inner imperial lines.
Latest threat to the enemy was
the U. S. landing on Mindoro island,
where the Yanks drove forward
against negligible opposition to es-
tablish air bases from which land-
based bombers could join carrier
planes in hammering the main is-
land of Luzon to the north, nerve-
center for the whole Jap defense in
the Philippines. Even as the dough
boys plodded forward, carrier
planes ripped at enemy shipping
feeding island garrisons from the
main staging point.
On Leyte, General MacArthur’s
triple-pronged offensive continued to
squeeze the Japanese into an ever
narrower corner on the island.
It^ was thus that the Germans
/iped out the Poles; broke France,
Fand marched a third of the way
across Russia. This time, however,
the enemy faced a stronger, better
equipped, more resolute foe, and
as his attack developed, U. S. re-
serves thrown into the battle moved
to dam the surge.
In launching the offensive, _ Von
Rundstedt followed the 1940 inva-
sion pathways, pointing spearheads
across Belgium and Luxembourg.
In choosing this battleground be-
low Aachen, the Nazi field marshal
concentrated the bulk of his forces
against the First army, which had
thrown the Germans onto the edge
of the Rhineland plain.
In the early fighting, the Nazi
thrust against Monschau was ap-
pregiably contained by the Yanks,
t>ut the spearhead farther south
probed as deeply as 22 miles to
the important road juncture of
Btavelot in Belgium. Still another
Nazi force pushed across the Bel-
gium border and threw a pincer
around St. Vith.
In Luxembourg to the south, the
srmans drove through the Ar-
lennes forest beyond Echternach
rafter meeting stiff U. S. resistance.
Once the German attack got
underway, the battle turned into
a slugging match, with the ene-
my pouring men into the initial
breaches to exploit their breaks,
—while the Allies moved reserves
to the front to check the drive.
Coincident with Von Rundstedt’s
smash to the north, Gen. George S.
Patton’s U. S. First army encoun-
tered stiffening Nazi resistance in
the Saar, with the enemy following
his favored pattern of throwing in
short, sharp armored counter-at-
tacks in an attempt to momentarily
check the Yanks’ push.
Meanwhile, it was announced that
Himmler himself had taken over
command of German resistance in
the Colmar pocket in Alsace, throw-
ing in strong detachments of his
motley but fanatical home guard
units.
STATE DEPARTMENT:
0. K. NeivSetup
Amid fierce debate, in which
charges were levelled that the re-
cent reorganization of the state de-
partment put the House of Morgan
in an influential position in the shap-
ing of U. S. foreign policy, the sen-
ate confirmed President Roosevelt’s
appointments of William L. Clayton
and Nelson Rockefeller as assistants
to Secretary of State Stettinius.
With ardent New Dealers Pepper
(Fla.) and Guffey (Pa.) leading the
attack, it was charged that the new
setup in the state department fol-
lowing Secretary Hull’s resignation
might indicate a reversal in a liber-
Secretary Stettinius (left) with William
L. Clayton.
While advocating a reapprais-
al of farm credit needs, inter-
national agreements to dispose
of surplus commodities and low-
ering of trade barriers, Ed-
ward A. O’Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau federa-
tion, also called for realistic
marketings based on feed and
labor costs to replace subsidies.

Movement of 2,000,000 persons
from farms after the war to pro-
vide them with sufficient income and
guard against overproduction was
advocated by Chairman Oscar
Heline of the Iowa Farmer Grain

Senator Connally (Texas) replied
that President Roosevelt would
chart the country’s course regard-
less of the reorganization.
As the storm over the state de-
partment reorganization first
mounted then subsided under presi-
dential pressure, Mr. Roosevelt told
newspapermen that the Atlantic
Charter was not a formal document
signed by this country and Britain,
but merely a statement of principles
to guide the Allies’ war aims.

CROPS:
Banner Year
Surmounting weather and man-
power problems, American farmers
again answered the nation’s call for
high level production with a near
record output of crops, 24 per cent
above, the 1923-’32 pre-drought av-
erage, the U. S. department of agri-
culture reported.
Pointing to near record acreage,
the USDA said: “ . . . Farmers
planted only when they could and
they kept on planting past the
normal season as long as there
seemed half a chance of suc-
cess. ...”
Production of grains, fruits, nuts
and commercial vegetables were all
above last year, with all-time top
harvests of corn at 3,228,361,000
bushels and of wheat at 1,078,647,000
bushels. Output of dry beans "and
peas, oil seeds, tobacco and hay
and forage crops has been seldom
exceeded. Cotton was about aver-
age.
WAR COSTS:
Pricing Policy
Aiming to cut government costs
and at the same time impose great-
er efficiency on some firms with a
resultant release of manpower and
material, the war department an-
nounced the adoption of a new pric-
ing program employing teams of
experts that will comb over con-
tracts before letting.
Expressing the belief that lower
prices would lead to greater use of
manpower and material, Col. Fred
C. Foy, director of army service
forces purchases, said: “ . . . When-
ever a contractor’s selling prices
are close to his costs, the contrac-
tor has an incentive to lower his
costs to increase profit. ...”
To firms establishing close pric-
ing policies went the promise of
consideration for a higher rate of
return in reviewing contracts for ex-
cess profits and maintenance of
work in case cutbacks, or re-
ductions, are made in their line of
war production.
AGRICULTURE:
New Crop
Thanks to a new oil extraction
and harvesting process, the raising
of sunflower seeds may develop into
an important farm crop in the mid-
dle west, following successful experi-
mentation in Illinois’ Piat county.
Due to a new solvent process of
bio-chemist Ezra Levin, oil now ex-
tracted from the sunflower seeds
and the resulting mash no longer
become rancid, while the construc-
tion of a new combine cuts the once
high harvesting costs.
Planted in 40-inch rows and culti-
vated twice through the season, 1,600
pounds of seed were obtained from
an acre, with a yield of oil at UV2
cents per pound reportedly higher
than that obtained from a similar
planting of soybeans. Not only is the
oil good for salads and cooking, it
was said, but seeds were found to
have protein content of 53 per cent.
WAR SHIPPING:
Big Profits
With nine American steamship
lines having made $26,847,000 in
profits on $31,364,000 worth of busi-
ness from April to September on
lend-lease runs to the Middle East,
the U. S. maritime commission
started court action against seven
of the operators to recover excess
income.
WNTJ Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, D. C.
As the New Year approaches,
Washington is preparing to experi-
ence the results of two titanic strug-
gles which will chart the course fol-
lowed by this nation and the world
in the decades ahead.
One contest will be witnessed on
the floors of congress. The other in
some unnamed spot where Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill, Marshal Stalin and per-
haps General De Gaulle will sit down
and try to agree on details of the
framework of an international or-
ganization for the maintenance of
peace.
The election was supposed to
have settled the old issue of “isola-
tionism versus internationalism” but
those terms were far too indefinite
to delimit any lasting decisions and
since November our allies have
been strewing land-mines of doubt
along the way, causing many cases
of non-interventionist jitters in con-
gress.
There will be debate in the senate
flavored with remarks, the tenor of
those which criticized the British
course in Greece.
As to the battle behind closed
doors, you can imagine that the
American viewpoint will need all
the support the President can rally
behind it, to overcome the tendency
of Messrs. Churchill, Stalin and De
Gaulle to fall into all the old bad
habits of their happy power politics
days.
In order to understand the differ-
ences which have already arisen be-
tween those who support British
armed intervention in Greece and
those who support the state depart-
ment’s action in protesting against
(t, it is necessary to take a look be-
hind the scenes and see what these
forces are which are bound to
shape the new governments of Eu-
rope as they are re-born after the

liberation, who had such character
and personality that he is univer-
sally accepted, acclaimed and fol-
lowed by the entire nation as our
leading member of the resistance.”
The last seven words are the
important ones — “as our leading
member of the resistance.” In
other words, De Gaulle was able to
lead his fellow countrymen into
liberation without chaos because he
had the approval of the most ac-
tive and most militantly democrat-
ic elements of the underground.
Operating on rates that the
commission itself set at the
time when subs were scourging
the seas and ships were needed
to haul material to the British
in the middle eastern and north
African sectors, the companies
averaged $300,000 profit per ves-
sel, or 910 per cent of the book
value of each.

was born after Mrs. Snodgrass’

Although two of the companies
have refunded $300,000, the others
have refused to make remittances,
claiming that they merely charged
prevalent rates, recognized by the
British themselves.
TIRES
With increased military demands
and manpower shortages limiting
supply, no passenger tires will be
available for “A” card holders or
less essential “B” card applicants
through the first three months of
1945, trade circles reported.
At the same time, it was said,
the supply of heavy truck tires dur-
ing this period will be the smallest
for any quarter since 1941. Release
of experienced workers from the
army was proposed to help remedy
the truck tire shortage.

Self Rule
In the first place, there is a pow-
erful, liberal-oriented ground swell to
je discerned everywhere if we look
lor it. It is the belief that, even-
tually, this force will dominate,
vhich has prompted the American
‘hands-off” policy. Uncle Sam
merely says: “Let the people of the
/arious countries choose the form of
government they want. Those who
want democracy enough will get it
f there is no outside interference.”
That is one thing to bear in mind.
Another is that this ground swell, as
t call it, is the result of many dif-
ferent factors — not merely hun-
ger and discontent or faith and en-
ightenment; not only inspiration or
lesperation, but aspiration as well,
ispiration toward the natural his-
;orical and evolutionary goals of
arogress which are a part of man’s
sternal struggle for liberty.
The reaction against Nazi tyranny
and the successful resistance to
German control in the form of the
underground, generated certain
forces toward freedom and inde-
pendence. The underground made
its own laws, gave opportunity for
the coalescence and strengthening
of all democratic movements. It was
natural when the Germans were
driven out that these forces re-
fused to bow to representatives of
any regime, no mattter how benefi-
cent, if it had about it even the
slightest odor of sanctified feudal-
ism.
It is necessary to get this premise
firmly fixed in our minds or else
fall into the error of writing off ev-
ery revolutionary movement as
“communist,” including some cer-
tainly no whit less virtuous than our
own in 1776.
It is well to study the France of
today in this connection, and inter-
esting to note the comment which
appeared in the French press at the
time of the first revolts in Belgium
and later in Greece where Allied
support was given the government
in power. The “Franc-Tireur,” whose
name indicates the “underground”
flavor of its opinion, explains why, so
far, France has had no such inter-
nal trouble.
“It has been our great good for-
tune,” it says, “to have a man to
protect our honor and prepare the
New Spirit
In Greece
Papandreou, premier of Greece
during the revolt, with all his vir-
tues, was no De Gaulle in that re-
spect.
I was reliably informed that
Papandreou had expressed firm
anti-monarchic sentiments, that he
is, as he says, a democrat and a
socialist, that he had a clean rec-
ord through the occupation. But—
and what a “but” there is, judged
by such standards as I imagine
“Franc-Tireur” would hold up —
Papandreou was selected by the
King with British consent. The mo-
tives back of his election may have
been honest enough and practical
enough from the standpoint of the
old order. Here was a man with a
good record who, it would seem,
could reconcile the royalists and the
leftists. But that formula itself
violates the very principles of the
new order, and when the left-wing-
ers began to feel that the cabinet
was monarchist and British-made,
they withdrew and their followers
refused to give up their weapons.
All armed groups in Greece not
absorbed officially by the army
were ordered to turn in their arms.
The police, of course, did not turn
in their arms and they were the
same police who had helped the pre-
war Metaxas dictatorship, and later
the Germans, “keep order.” The
“sacred battalion,” a group com-
posed chiefly of former Greek offi-
cers who fought bravely beside the
Allies all through the African cam-
paign (and were charged with con-
taining a strong monarchist ele-
ment) was not disbanded but
became a part of the army.
Translate the above into terms of
the French attitude and see how
impossible acceptance of a Greek
government such as that could be
to groups thinking as the French
resistance groups think.
There is every reason to believe
that the leftist movement in Greece
and elsewhere in Europe, even
where the majority of their leaders
may be led by communists (as was
not the case in Greece) is actually at
heart a drive against tyranny and
toward democracy.
Here again it might be wise to
examine some of the opinion ex-
pressed by Frenchmen now back-
ing the De Gaulle provisional gov-
ernment which is a product of the
forces similar to those operating in
other liberated countries.
The leading editorial in the
December issue of “Free France,”
that attractive and informative
magazine published in New York by
the French provisional government,
gives the reasons for the change of
attitude toward the French com-
munists as follows:
1. The French communist party
joined the resistance movement and
later gave its allegiance to De
Gaulle’s national committee.
2. The Comintern was dissolved.
3. The communists rendered in-
valuable aid to the resistance
movement.
4. The striking collaboration of all
French patriots in the underground
struggle removed many prejudices,
including the suspicion of “com-
munists sans patrie” (a political
group with loyalty to no fatherland).
The editors of Free France cau-
tiously state that it is too early to
answer the important question:
Have the French communists ac-
cepted democracy as it is under-
stood by the western democracies?
Nevertheless, they note for the rec-
ord that so far “the communists
helped to draw up the National Re-
sistance council program of March,
1944, tacitly accepting the democrat-
ic principle” and “the abolition of
private property is not listed among
the imrpediate demands of the com-
munist party.”
