That is a picture of ROUT! THE WEATHER IS BETTER. Our planes buzz cxerywhore, smashing at the . Germans with AERIAL CANNON and bombs. In ten days, our U.

Remember that so far as IM MEDIATE battle consequences me concerned, a damaged vehicle Js as good as one destroyed.) TOTAL nazi casualties in France since D-day (June 6) are esti mated at 200,000 (killed, wound ed and captured). These figures nre based on COUNTED German dead and COUNTED German prisoners. Only wounded and missing have to be guessed at. That Js about HALF the Ger mans in this area at the start. HERE is what has happened: .We caught the Germans off balance in Brittany, and cut through them with a blitz attack that out-blitzed anything they were able to do In the days when they were going good. The big question Is whether they will be able to get their second wind and slop us before we get to the mouth of the Loire. Watch Nantes and St Nazaire. They are not alone the point at which we will try to close the bag on the Breton peninsula. They are BIG PORTS.WE WANT them. Tbe Germans need badly to keep us from getting (hem. They will fight bloody murder to slop us there -or before. If (hey FAIL, ll will be a sig nificant admission of German weakness. T HEItE is a fascinating hint in Moscow reports that lite nazls are rolling up reserves along the whole 1000 miles or the Russian fighting -especially al Warsaw. Where are (lie reserves coming from? Are I hey from France or from reserve troops DESTINED for France? If we can gel Ihe nais running hack and forth from the western to the eastern battle lines, plug ging a hole In one wall and then dashing back to plug another hole in the other wall, we'll have them where ire want them.

"All I said was that I did not share the views of those in both the republican and democratic parties who seem to be so alarmed of American labor in politics," the candidate writes. He further said: I think .we would have a healthier democracy if various groups of our citizenry, such as farmers, businessmen, pro fessional men, women's , organizations, teachers and other economic groups, would take a much more active part in politics. For too long a. time politics has been left too much to the direction of politicians and political machines in both of the major parties, with the result tha( the average citizens and the economic groups to which they belong have relinquished, to too great a degree, their right to control and determine political policies. We cannot have an enlightened citizenry politically unless the average voter devotes time and thought to the study of political issues. Labor organizations can function as an effective educational medium for their members by conducting political fprums and by studying the record of the candidates for office. After all, a man's repord must speak for itself. ye can agree heartily with Candidate Morse in the thought that the average citizen should devote more time and thought to .study of political issues, but we cannot agree with any premise of political action by We doubt if the candidate interpreted. Yet from his. words, spoken before the conven tion and taken from written quarters for publication, such meaning can be read into his address, although we believe his intent was to create greater individual rather than group A iri-nuf Ain lw.o 1,1 . s.w. jio..(oi in groups. lite word "economic "special privilege."'

Ko sane person would deny itself in political affairs. Labor has certain objectives and it h.vs every right to attempt to normal political channels. But, in our opinion, it is not dl laborers to finance a political campaign, in support of a party or a candidate not the unanimous choice of those forced to contribute. We know many laboring men the directions of the C. 1. O. political action committee, yet labor's funds are being expended by that organization to elect candidates to which at least some of the workmen, who are required to contribute to the fund, are opposed. No one would'deny to any censure men in public office pose candidates, but the responsibilities of individual citi-1 zenship, we believe, transcend those of blocs.

Williams Britain Demands Fresh Lend-Lease To Aid in Pacific NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (AP) British officials are insisting upon continuation of lend-lease aid after Germany's defeat as es sential if Britain is to play her full part in the Pacific war, the National association of manufac turers reported today. "British, officials have told our leaders that such action is ab solutely necessary to stave off a serious economic situation in England," the NAM News, publi ca(ion of the association, said. "ft is claimed that unless we do bolster Britain's domestic economy, she will not be able to ! play the part expected of her in I the Pacific war. The publication said the pro posal, now under discussion in high administration circles, would cost the United States $2,500,000, 000 and up annually above war costs, and would be a wide de parture from the present lend lease program because it "would be very frankly to support Brit ain's domestic policy." The primary concern of admin istration officials favoring the project, NAM said, was how to obtain the support of congress, and avoid similar claims from Russia. Fiance. Belgium, Holland and other countries. Unofficial estimates. NAM add ed, showed Britain's exports have dropped 60 to 75 per cent since the war began, and that she has lost or liquidated an es timated 50 Dor cent of her foreign investments. "The British are determined to avoid, insofar as possible, going deeply into debt or liquidating any more foreign holdings," the publication said. "Thus far the bntisn nave rejected all sug gestions that such postwar assist ance be placed on the basis of direct loans, or that they go to Ihe proposed internaUonal bank for assistance. ''What the British want, and what our officials are consider ing, is the lend-leasing of the dif ference between what they need and what they can buy out of their current receipts from ex ports, investments, etc. "As a result of our assistance to date, they have managed to keep (heir entire national debt, both foreign and domestic, down lo around $75,000,000,000."
