ELEGANT MACHINERY
Some years ago. during the dying
days of the League of Nations at
Geneva, when it was but a slightly
breathing corpse, I saw the ex-
perts and attaches walking in and
out of the huge league office build-
, case filled with reports and recom-
mendations and burning about
with a brave pretense of import-
ance.
The league council and the league
assembly were in session. You
never saw so much elegant ma-
chinery. Everybody was wearing an
Anthony Eden homberg, and carry-
ing chamois gloves. The machinery
was all humming. But everyon knew
it was a dry run. The wheels were
turning but they were grinding no
grist because there was nothing
left at Geneva in those bleak au-
tumn days of 1937 but empty ma-
chinery.
The human beings, the leaders,
the men with blood and bone and
sinew who could have used the ma-
chinery were all gone. They were
back home busy preparing for war
with each other.
Machinery will not save us this
time either. That is the first rule
that ought to go down in the United
Nations handbook. Men will save
us—men with understanding, vision,
breadth, goodwill, courage and skill
in dealing frankly and fairly with
each other. Such men and noth-
ing else will save us from more war
after this one.

THE WAR Today.
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
six mon ths. , . L
Thus what was considered the No. 1 allied problem
only six months ago has been clarified to the point
where the U. S. has been able to cancel orders for sev-
eral hundred escort vessels and turn shipyard facilities
to the production of more landing craft of the sort
needed in amphibious operations.
In 1942 680 allied merchant vessels were sunk by
German submarines. In August of this year ship losses
were fewer than enemy U-boats sunk. In October the
ratio was even better. No exact figures were given
for merchant tonnage losses in the six-month period
covered in the report, but obviously they were only a
fraction of the 1942 toll. That fact is reflected at every
point of this global war—in the South Pacific, on the
Russian front. In Italy and in the building of the —factories, farms, homes, money,
mighty allied army which will some day cross the foreign government bonds, foreign
channel and open the second front. It was reflected, corporation stocks and bonds, notes,
aus of Property in Foreign Coun-
tries." While this report may be
indicative of the changed sense of
values that war brings on the
world, the Treasury experts con-
ducting the survey admit that this
report carried things a bit far. and
that they re not interested in all
this detail. If, however, you own
real property worth $10,000 or more,
or foreign bonds worth nothing st
are some $10 billion north of this
foreign property still unaccounted
for.
Returns received thus far do in-
dicate an amazing variety of pos-
sessions held in 10S foreign coun-
tries. A hair act factory in China,

million.
all. Uncle Sam would like to have -
you report it to him.
What the Treasury people are in-
terested in is reaching an estimated
400,000 or more individuals and cor-
porations in the United States who
own property in foreign countries
Purposes of this survey are to
get information of value in the
conduct of the war. The case of an
American owned flour mill in
southern Italy is cited. The knowl-
edge that this was an American
property permitted the U. S. mili-
tary authorities to get in touch
with the real owners so they could
rush la the engineers who designed
and built the mill to repair the
machinery and put it in operation
again to help feed the local popu-
lation.
POST-WAR BENEFITS
At the peace table negotiations.
It is believed this accurate infor-
mation on the American stake in
foreign countries will be the basis
for adjusting claims for property
damage, and putting U. S citizens
back into possession of their prop-
erty. In that connection, one of the
present values of having foreign
possessions listed is that this reg-
channel and open the second front. It was reflected,
you mav be sure, in the arrival of more landing craft
for General MacArthur, as well as additional supplies
of all sorts needed for his campaign to drive the Jap
out of the South Pacific.
It is interesting to note that in the closing months
of the first world war the allies had fought the U-boat
to a standstill. Not until that was done could the allies
' smash the kaiser’s war machine. We have now reached
a comparable situation in this war. and from this cir-
cumstance we can take increased faith that we are en-
tering well into the closing months of the conflict.

RETURNS ARE LIGHT
The Treasury has until Dec. 1 to
complete this job. It began in June,
but to date it has received only
some 54,000 returns listing less than
$2 billion worth of property. Word
that the census is being made
hasn't reached 90 percent of the

El Caudillo Curdles
Best evidence of Adolf Hitler's shrinking fortunes
is the changing attitude of some of his former collabo-
rators, sycophants, hangers-on, cup-bearers and dirty-
work-doers.
Spain, for instance. Less than a year ago El Caudillo
Francisco Franco, the stumpy small-bore politician
whom Hitler and Mussolini put in power in Spain at
the cost of hundreds of thousands of Spanish lives,
was breathing fire and brimstone at the allies. Our
invasion of North Africa caused him to change his
tune somewhat, from denunciation of democracy as a
decadent and doomed system of government, to the
general proposition that fighting should cease inas-
much as no one could win. From time to time, until
recent months when Hitler’s number went up for sure,
El Caudillo rendered lip-service to his masters. After
the fall of Mussolini he sang mighty low tenor.
But a dog returns to his vomit through force of
habit. Not long ago the Spanish government sent a
telegram of greeting to the new Japanese-installed
puppet government of the Philippine Islands headed
by Jose P. Laurel, its two-gun, president. Our state
department, which used to appease Franco when that
was expedient (when that was all we could do. in
truth), let it be known that it had this flagrant anti-
American incident under serious consideration.
This week Franco backed water. He protested
Spain’s "manifest good will" toward the U. S, declared
virtuously that the message to Laurel was merely a
courteous gesture, not meant to recognize the puppet
government of the Philippines in any sense.
This incident, coupled with the reported arrival in
Spain of over 800 survivors of the Spanish Blue di-
vision which had been fighting on the Russian front,
indicates a rapid increase in the traffic of rats from
a sinking ship. Every day it becomes clearer that a
victorious democratic world cannot tolerate in office
anywhere any of those who aided and abetted Benito
Mussolini, Adolf Hitler and Tojo the Louse.
SHELVED
istration will prevent disposal of
loot and the sale of such items as
dollar bonds, art treasures and jew-
elry on the American market, be-
fore real ownership is established.
In the postwar readjustment pe-
riod, knowledge of U. S. claims
against foreign governments will
be a basis for determining limita-
tions of credit.
One reason the Treasury's survey
hasn’t brought in more returns is
that some people have been suspi-
cious that it was a dodge to get in-
come tax information, tips on car-
tel agreements or secret deals.
Treasury officials insist this isn’t
so. The aurvey isn't a witch hunt,
and no one filing a return can be
prosecuted. But if you don't file,
you're liable to $10,000 fine or 10
'years.:
Another reason the returns have
been slow in a
coming in is that
the distribution I

banks are asking Edson
their depositors if they have for-

tion on the survey is being put in

If you have any of this foreign
stuff to report, the Treasury wishes
you'd ask your postmaster or your
banker to put you in touch with
the nearest Federal Reserve bank,
-so you can fill out form TFR-
500." Yes, it's another one of those
government reports.
Treasury makes clear, however,
that making a report doesn't con-
stitute filing a claim for repayment
As we stand in silence at the
eleventh hour of this armistice
day in honor of the brave men
who have died for our country,
let us not forget a prayer that
strength be given to the living-
to the gallant Allied forces which
soon will launch their crucial of-
fensives of the war, and to the
home-fronts which must not fal-
ter in this fateful moment.
The signals are now fairly set
for the Allied offensives In both
the European and the Asiatic
theatres, and
the way things
are developing
we are likely
to see them go
into action at
somewhere near
the same time.
This doesn't

are to expect

row, or a week from tomorrow,
for it takes much time to pre-
pare for any great operation and
especially an amphibious one.
However, it can be said that the
preliminaries are well advanced.
Actually there probably will be
not one but several almost sim-
ultaneous assaults launched in
both Europe and Asia. The idea
will be to belevil the enemy on
as many fronts as possible at the
same time—to weaken him by
dividing his forces. Hitler and
Hirohito will be as busy as bound
dogs with fleas.
Indications are that when the
day for the big invasion of west-
ern France arrives the main cross-
channel assault will be support-
ed by thrusts at numerous other
polnts along the coasts of France,
the Low Countries and Norway,
though some of these will be
feints and won't be developed. •
An invasion of southern France
through the Rhone valley may
also be expected, bringing into
action the 300,000 or more French
soldiers who are waiting fever-
ishly in North Africa for a chanced
to fight again for their country.
A drive into the Balkans is an-
other contingency.
% % 4
The offensive against the Japs
will be a many pronged affair.
Observers generally expect it too
develop into a vast pincers move-
ment, with the main claws reach-
ing out for Japan from India in
southeast Asia and from the
American strongholds in the
southwest and western Pacific.
Thus far Burma has been men-D '
tioned most frequently as the
main sector for the offensive un-
der Lord Louis Mountbatten from
India—the left claw of the pinc-
ers. Burma will indeed figure
heavily, since it is China's back-a
door to the outside world, but it
would be a mistake to assume
that the opening up of Burma
alone would solve all the Allied
difficulties.
By Armistice Day next year
the Allied fortunes should be
bright. The war in Europe like-
will be a thing of the past, and
the full might of America and
Britain will have been turned on
Japan. No man can forecast the
length of time it will take that@
striking power to crush Nippon,-
but we can at least be sure that,
come another November Eleventh
we shall have put the sign of
death on the brow of Japanese
militarism even If the war isn’t
finished.

"The situation in that line

But Roy Cheney, president of

That's an extremely conserva-

It was as far as he would go for
quotation. His word “safe" meant
only enough garments to meet

It did not mean enough to
meet demands, for the difference
between need and demand is
