TOTAL nazi casualties in France

That Js about HALF the Ger

HERE is what has happened:
.We caught the Germans off

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

CITIZENSHIP
By Charles
UfAYNE MORSE, republican
" writes that ,an address be gave recently before the ply
wood workers, rneeting in convention a.t Eugene, had ta.used
unfavorable reaction in .some
interpretation of his remarks,
Mr. Morse was quoted as endorsing the CIO political ac
tion committee. "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

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."
