The most striking cartoon of the decade is the one reprinted by Collier's from the London Herald of May 7, a quarter century ago showing Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Woodrow Wilson concluding the peace treaty.

O. and permit the Little Steel formula to be broken down, thus opening the door for a rush of wage increases and nullifying the whole anti-t inflation fight.

It is a decision vital to the whole country and it should be clearly understood that it will 7 be made by the president personally and not by the war labor board, which officially is handling the case. On so basic an economic issue, complicated with political possibilities closely affecting the fourth-term effort, it is absurd to pretend that this board will act without advance and accurate knowledge 6f the president's desires. Their decision will be made in accord with his wish and, whatever public pretense may be made, every informed person knows it. If the president firmly supports his aides, refusing not only to acquiesce in the emasculation of the Little Steel formula but in any form of compromise by which it can be de-toured, he should get full credit for a courageous non-political action.

old excuse that she is non-political and non-controversial, and thus inhibited, vanished long ago when she proposed such fascist novelties as the limitation of salaries, but not of unearned incomes, such as the man troops. The pick of the latter already may have been taken out by sea or air and the others abandoned to their fate. This is the logical development of the collapse of the lower Dnestr defense line and of Odessa, which the Germans obviously abandoned Without the expected "fight to the death."

Roosevelt is journalist only in the most nom inal sense of the word and by vir leaders co-operating with the extension aervices -of -the various states was the unanimous opinion of those attending the Plains States Supervisors conference of extension workers at the Lincoln hotel Thursday afternoon. "The county extension agent is now one of the hardest working individuals in the county and he had better delegate to one of his operators every job that he possibly can." said Karl Knaus re. tue of the election returns of 1932. But there are many other new deal columnists of average ability who might try to give the answers if be counting on an all-out defense of the Galati corridor between the Carpathian foothills and the mouths of the Danube. Otherwise the Russians would crash thru to Bucharest 'and the Polesti oil fields and an axis collapse in all the Balkans would follow automatically.

That is especially so because Bulgaria most certainly would not take up arms against the Russians. The Galati gateway, however, Is not strong in natural defenses and it would take a large number of first line divisions to hold it. These divisions have not been extricated from the southern Ukraine as they should have been and will have to be drawn from they knew them. Their trouble is Park Mrs. Roosevelt I won't let you pry it out of me, Franklin; be fair! President-Is it about the immediate future? Mrs.

For there is no possible refutation of gional extension supervisor. mula, or by some ingenious device in giving, as was done in the railroad and coal cases, more than the unions had asked, then the blame should be placed squarely where it belongs on him. It is just one of those jams made inevitable by his candidacy, and his record of yielding to labor pressure is reason for believing he will yield again. However, there are two good reasons for being optimistic. One is the president's indorsement last Friday of the report presented to him by the Messrs.

Vinson, Bowles, Jones and Davis, on the irst-anniversary-of hisJ'hold the line" order of wages and prices. The other is a fact that ought to be clear to wit, that even if he stands firm, he will not lose any considerable labor support, for the simple reason that the Murrays, the Hillmans and the C. I. O. communistic group as a whole have no other place to go.

These are typical examples of many questions which no new deal col I MINI. umnist can answer and to which somewhere else. The answer is not apparent. If from Italy, it would mean giving up that peninsula and exposing the western flank of the Balkans. If from anywhere else in Europe, it would imperil the defense of the reich on the eve of allied invasion.

This indicates that, if the war continues, exports in 1944 will exceed the record high 1943 total. There was also an increase over a year ago in the value of goods imported into the United States but the gain was smaller than in the case of exports. Consequently, the excess of exports over imports in January this year, amounting to $774,000,000 was considerably larger than the excess, of $501,000,000 in the" ironi or L.wow, anov ular, pernaps priority in divisions will be given to that front instead of in the south.
