Most Judges wi" toll you , (If you can got them to talking shop) that contracts that are fair and reasonable to both sides sel dom get Into the courts, where as the SLICK conl raots that, are put oyer by the SMARTIES very often get Into the courts. Litigation Is costly and cats rapidly into prof lis. s ECRETARY HULL is telling us that If (in our after-the- wan dealings) we arc fair and honest with other nations, the agreements we arrive at will be likely to. Inst longer and work better. All wise business roer' wlll agroc with him. j FROM International dealings, Secretary HUH went on In his frank conversation with' j the members of the committee lo the problem of employment after the war. i He said: "The tijuth, I bcllevo, Is that after the war, II we are to fur nish employment to people who should have It and who are en titled to it i we jmust increase production, distribution and consumption." HE didn't go on from there to give details, but If he had we can imagine (hat Ills ideas might have run something like this: If wo are to have increased . production, distribution and eon . sumption we must TAKE OFF ,;THE RESTRICTIONS. We must do away with rules providing that a worker must 'produce ONLY SO MUCH In a day. On the other side of the fence, we musl wipe from the statute books the mass of laws that are Intended (o keep somebody from underselling somebody else. 1 We must get clear In our minds t lint the way to HAVE A LOT is to PRODUCE A LOT. We've done a lot of talking In recent years about dividing things up. We must plainly un derstand thai wv can't DIVIDE what ISN'T PRODUCED. IN these days of bright-eyed I young men who are running things these are just notions that are held by old fucldy duddys. It has been more or less evident on numerous occasions that our bright-eyed young men in Wash ington regard Secretary Hull us an old fuddy-duddy who ought to be got rid of at the first possible moment. So oni! wonders how far he will get with currying these sini pie, plain, common-sense, small town honest business man ideas Into the rarlfled atmosphere of world diplomacy. This writer, for one, hopes he gels a LONG WAY. This will be a belter world to live In If he docs.

It is so easy to criticize the strategy being employed on the war fronts or to attempt an "expert" analysis of tactics. The flow of opinion from radio and newspaper commentators and editorial writers offers about as many views as there are observers, while few agree as to facts and trends. ' ' Wo note in editorial opinions of our exchanges consider able criticism of the situation in Italy where progress hag been disappointing to the general public. Some writers are finding fault with strategy and tactics. A good many seem to be of the same opinion as the soldier who wrote recently to the editor of Colliers magazine, stating, in effect that dliod generals were fighting the campaign according to rules laid down in the book of strategy and it was evident the Germans had read the same book. But, yielding to the urge to do a little "experting," we believe the present Italian campaign is going "according to plan" and is a move in a giant strategic plot which has de feat of the axis as the assured outcome. We are not concerned so much with the issue itself, however, as with the fact that all the second guessing ol commentators and editors would be unnecessary and the public could be saved much anxiety and confusion if official dom would only provide the information to which we are entitled. If our leading military authorities would tell the public the Italian campaign is serving the purpose for which it is intended and slow progress, hard fighting and old-style, solid-front tactics are all a part of a pro-conceived plan of action, the nation would be given needed assurance. Or, on the other hand, we could absorb news that the campaign has so far failed of its purpose, that we bit off more than we can chew satisfactorily and that we must expect heavy losses until we can make needed corrections. Official state ments would at least serve to focus comment and avoid con fusion now resulting from scores of divergent, unofficial opinions. But, instead of giving the public an intimate picture of the campaign, military authorities are clamping still fur ther controls upon the news, for, according to dispatches from London, orders have been issued that correspondents may not use on-the-spot facilities for transmission of their .stories, but must send copy back by courier service for censorship at base headquarters. j General Mark Clark's command is said to have taken this action because "of annoyance caused by some press dispatches concerning, the beachhead operation." Particular criticism centered around news reports calling the beachhead "another Tobruk or Dunkirk." If, instead of attempting to bridle the news correspon dents and keep the folks back home from knowing what their boys pro up ugainsj; in Italy, the military authorities would give us official statements in which we could have full confidence, regardless of whether the news is good or bad, analysts, commentators and armchair generals would at least have something tangible to discuss instead of making wild guesses. But, as pointed out by the editor of Sntuntau Evening Pout, the army contends in an official publication that "news is not the sacred property of the press." Because the armed services make, the news, they have a vested interest in the reporting and editing of the news, the army declares. If this interpretation is to be maintained, then freedom of the press will soon be as dead as a Uooseveltian "Balance the Budget" promise. i Vandalism Hits Churches inN.Y. NEW YORK, Ken. 21 I API -Doors and stone walls of St. Pat rick's cathedral In mldlown Man- hat tan were found smeared Friday I with designs crudely drawn with blight red paint. Police said the designs were In the shape of question marks with diagonal lines running through them.
