Invasion by the Fourth?
Young Americans who a few short years be
fore had gotten -up at the crack of dawn on In
dependence day to set off giant crackers, created ;
mightier detonations bn July 4, 1942 when, they
participated in the army; air corps' first raid.
over Europe. ;
Not literally on the eve of Armistice day,
,1942, but shortly before, American forces gave
the home folk .something to celebrate , by oc
cupying North Africa. On New Year's day they '
started bombing the remaining axis .strongholds
in Tunisia; on Washington's ; birthday they :
stopped one of Rommel's major driyes; on Mo
ther's day, a Salem mail was reminded by his
officer son now in North Africa, the drive on
Bizerte was started. ; L'
Morale being a factor not to be overlooked,
the Fourth of July in this year of American vic-
" tory-mindedness might reasonably ( be chosen
as axis propagandists "were guessing the other
day for the launching of an invasion. x' .
" i Sentiment, on "the other hand,; never out-
weighs practical considerations when military
strategy is being mapped. If July 3 or 4 is a pro
pitious time for attack and if all preparations are
complete, ; Well "atlilti'fMiyiftbly,,' .there may
be an assault involving naval units and landing-,
forces on Sicily. '- - : . ,
Adding up all the indices, however, the time
v does not ieem to be ripeifor anything more.
Aerial pounding . of the Italian mainland, and
of Hitler's Europe proceeds but destruction has
not apparently reached the poinf .at which inva
sion is the logical next step. More can be accom
plished at less cost by dealing out "more of the
same." Moreover; the war of nerves has not
reached a proper climax. The, pronouncements
Wednesday of Winston' Churchill and Anthony
Eden were of a sort which might logically be '.
- permitted to "sink in" for a few days, or longer.
There is evidence that Italian moral e is crum
bling. Very well, let it crumble mon The Ital
ians are thinking hard. Give them a little
more time to think of course with the accom
paniment of more bombs, calculated to stimu
late thought; but don't interrupt their cerebral
processes with something that will necessitate
action. ;
No, the situation doesn't suggest an invasion
of the mainland for a Fourth
tion. Sicily, maybe. Meanwhile,
be on the alert against nuisance
from the oriental foe on the west.
Subsidies
i The burst of virtue under which the congress
has voted out subsidies to finance the "roll
back" of prices on certain commodities does not
mean any conversion to a policiy of opposition to
all subsidies.' This is proven by quotations from,
the debates in the congress last week. When the
senate had up the amendments to prevent the
"roll-back" subsidies there were j these com
ments pr queries in the course of the debate:
: Murdock Utah): "May we have the assur
ance of the senator' from Missouri that It is not
his intention or purpose in any way to effect
the subsidies which now are being paid under
the copper lead and zinc subsidy programs?'
t Clark (Missouri) : "The senator may certainly
have the assurance. ....
Wherry (Nebraska) : "If the amendment shall
be agreed to, will it in any way affect the sub
sidy paid on sugar beets?" ,
George (Georgia): "Not at all. . . . .
Taft. (Ohio): '.'Only last week we voted a
$50,000,000 subsidy for school lunches, if you
please, although 50 per cent of the children
subsidized were perfectly able, to pay for their
own lunches.' . . . 1
It would seem that, according to the senate,
skunk cabbage by the name of a rose would
smell like a rose. . ; - i -
Fair Trial ' , ,
' Americans will take some satisfaction in the
decision of the federal circuit court of appeals .
in the seventh district holding that, six persons -convicted
of treason for harboring a German
spy did not have a fair trial and remanding the
case to a lower court for retrial. The' decision i
shows that even in time of war. constitutional
guarantees' hold when it comes to trial of per
sons accused of crime. None of Jhe nazi style
of ; purge; ' none of the Russian style' of "con
fessions" followed by swift execution. In the re-
trial the higher court's rulings will be respected
and guilt of the accused decided by the jury :
ln acordance therewith.' No .one has any sym
pathy with traitors; but the fundamental of a
"fair trial" must not be denied even to traitors.
: Eamon DeValera, for the past 11 yearst
premier of Eire (Ireland) lost his parliamentary
majority in last week's elections. ' His remains
the leading-party, in the Irish parliament, but
. whether he can remain as head of the state
awaits the meeting of the new parliament. Eire
has made progress under DeValera, who has re
strained the extremists. The rest of the world
w&ich has observed Ireland's troubles for years, '
hopes the country will not succumb to conten
tious factionalism now. '
' The president had a hard day-Friday. Both
houses of congress voted to override his veto
on the Connally-Smith labor bill. The lower.
house voted to kill his plan for subsidies on
foods. Too bad, when the war news gets more
favorable, that we face a serious breakdown on
the: home front, due in considerable degree to
the president's failure to tct promptly in con
trolling prices and wages.
Secretary "of Commerce Jesse Jones says by
the end of the year our synthetic rubber plants
will be producing at a rate sufficient to meet"
civilian needs as well as military needs. The
only problem then is to make present rubber
stretch a fevv'rnore 'n:r. thi. We "find ari A. card -helps.

Pay-as-you-go ; -' I
Good; morning. This Is July 1, the day you
start to pay as, you go. Everyone pays,; now;
v that is, jeveryone who works for wages. He will
'find his pay envelope .nicked, come pay day.
, But he should have the satisfaction that he is
meeting a current obligation out of a current
income. He will miss two thrills from the portion
withheld: the excitement of spending, and then
.the agbjiy a'year hence, of digging up money to
pay the! piper for his dance. "::t s
No, we will not undertake to .explain the
workings of the new income tax law. The papers '
have been full of articles on the subject but
1 we have avoided reading them. J Or rather we :
have read just enough to know what to expect.
For details consult your paymaster, whb will
refer you to the convenient little table ;which '
shows what "deduck applies in your case. You
don't get a chance to "take it or leave it." You
leave it. . . ;
Remember the worries about instalment ac
counts a few years back; and the stories of how
salaried folk - had made so many purchases on ,
time contracts that some of them would have
nothing left in their paychecks after the de
ductions were made? Well, life's getting just
like that again. At least that's the way the ones
who make out payrolls feel, to say nothing of '
those who get the slim, slimmer pay envelopes.
The latter class should have this consolation ;
however, in spite of all the "deducks" there still '
is more in the pay, envelopes of the nation than .
ever before. Too much, in fact, for the merchan-
dise on sale. So next fall the congress will start
work on a new tax measure, designed to drain
Off more of the excess spending power. A fed-
eral sales tax is the most simple and effective
device for this purpose; but no telling what kind'
of law we will get when the tax experts compro
mise with the politicians. ' ? f ;
l Our only advice is not to be discouraged now
that July 1. is here only three more days, till
you can celebrate "independence" day. ! !

WASHINGTON, June SO Many stories are be
Mr. Roosevelt's sudden acceptance
Davis resignation, the most nonular
Czars Byrnes and Vinson were dis
pleased with little Czar Davis' seizure of 20,000,000
bushels of corn just before the
resignation announcement.
This one cannot possibly be
true, las the Davis resignation
letter) was' submitted June 18,
nearly two weeks before Its ac
ceptance. '.. -1!
This Is one time when the officially-furnished
excuse was
probably the dominant consid
eration. In the latter part of
May," Mr. Davis appeared be-
j Pmal MaUoa fore the senate food committee
and opposed the paying of food subsidies by the
government to processors, and, partly as ' a result '
of his strong influence, that pet white house pol
icy was ultimately defeated in congress just before
Mr. Roosevelt, belatedly, decided Davis had been
right when .he wanted to resign two weeks before.
'. But there is far more to it than that. Davis is a '
farm bloc man of long standing,an American farm
bureau federation-national grange man, as distinct
from , the competitive and more leftish Fanners
Union. His successor, the former congressman Mar
vin Jones, is more of a Fanners Union man (less
federation, less grange) especially as he is flanked
at the controls by tile "little cabinet" crowd in
cluding Harry Hopkins, Ben Cohen, Judge Rosen
man, as well as Mr. Roosevelt's other self, James
F. Byrnes. r -.-V- - '- . j : .
So the shift really signifies the. passing of food
controls from a farm man completely into the hands
'of the white house group. : --i ; ; j
- i You can see this further In the way congressional
.interest and demand for an over-all production
price singlehead controlled dwindled as soon as
Davis left office. It is likely to dwuvUe more, be
cause the farm bloc would just as soon have two or
three or more unsatisfactory little czars running the
show as now, as one big unsatisfactory overlord. .
There is another significant under-anele. Agri
culture Secretary Wickard ' never got along with
Davis. Although their differences'' did.-not reach
the point of an open clash, these were significant
and real.
. For one example, Wickard has been .building1
up the triple,. A committees, holding; conventions
around the country in a way which challenged, or
at least raised the eyebrows of the farm bureau f ed-f
.eration. Cooperation between ; the federation and
these, triple A committees, including the extension:
. service," did not run high in brotherly : love, : but
rather in a competitive spirit, , t v
, . The solid truth is Davis had an impossible job.
No one could achieve any degree of popular satis
faction, the food situation being what it must, be
this year. Any good production expansion program
would have to have been started six to twelve
months ago in order to meet the obvious demands.
: Even with whole hearted, enthusiastic unity at
the government controls, the job would be practi
. cally Impossible at this late date, and,, of course,
full unity on food has never existed here.- ' ' i ,.
' The whote dangerous problem is now entering'
Into a new phase of the tussle between the white
house and the farm bloc in congress, with the
president sternly standing ' against any F readjust- -ment
of prices, and congress just as strongly against "
the only apparent alternative, the payment of sub
sidies. In this situation, it is likely that the adminlstra
tion, if finally stalled on subsidies, will have to
raise prices somewhat to dispel the discouragement
on the farm and permit higher farm wages even
at the risk of further inflation.
Some truck drivers at a large defense pro j ect
in rural southern Maryland are reported to be
getting $100 a. week 'for a seven-day job, which
means little farm help can be kept in that area,a
situation which has generally similar national as-.
pects. ;;;-S;v-' L;...,-.:.-a f ; -?; r-t":'
It is difficult: to offer a substantial solution of .
these varied food difficulties, but if the administra
tion could do something to provide farm labor and
find materials for some new machinery, it would
do as much as seems possible at this late date to
stimulate current production., - .. U

he general pattern of the
United Nations campaigns is
now strongly indicated. The
American landing on Rendova
Island in the! central Solomons
and Prime Minister Churchill's
cryptic reference to heavy fight
ing in the Mediterranean set the
seal on hints ; already gathering
as to the direction of the allies
next big moves.
The thrust into the . central
Solomons, announced - Wednes
day by the navy, shows the en
eral line of, the ? south Pacific
offensive for which the United
States navy and army have been
gathering striking power. It does
nott however, disclose its further
objectives and ultimate goals or
whether it -wiU reach as far as
RaSaul, the- chief Japanese base
in the islands above Australia,
or even beyond. All this doubt
less! depends on the quantity of
the enemy's counter action.
One thing is certain. The off
ensive, : of which the - Rendova
landing may be only a pre-
1 liminary diversion, is calculated
to make the Japanese stand and
fight another : of those devasta
ting batues of attrition in the
air and on land and sea such
as they lost on Guadalcanal and
New Guinea last winter and thus
: far have avoided in the Aleu
tians. The enmy must fight such
a battle or abandon prizes of
" great strategic importance.
. As for the Mediterranean the
' pathways, followed d a 1 ly and
nightly by the allied air forces

Sicily, Sardinia, southern ' Italy

More than. 10 U-boats were
- certainly destroyed in the month
- of; May,, Churchill: said. The
battle ended' "in the' complete
, defeat of the U-boat attack. And
although "the U-boats hive re
coiled to lick their wounds and
mourn their dead and the allied
- convoys are not undergoing ser
ious attacks at the present time,'
Hitler's submarine loss s for
June also have been most solid
and encouraging.' . ..
: An indication of these "solid
'- and - encouraging results was
' given Monday by Malcolm Mac
- : Donald, T British j, high ' cornmis-
sioner to Canada, who-, disclosed
that 1 14 submarines had been
: destroyed in the last fortnight,
indicating a continuation of the
May rate of one a day. There
- is convincing evidence, now that
the pace of kills definitely has
, passed Germany's ; replacement

' May U-boat output at 23, and
the curve is descending. under

and American ' air forces on the
factories and ports-sthat : make

'Against toe waning fortunes
of the U-boats Is set the titanic
: rcord of the American shipbulld-
- ing industry, supplemented by :
the shipyards ; of Britain and
. Canada. The F total ' output for

: ' between seven and ten times the

was 173 ships of 1,712,000 dead-
- weight tons and it is a safe as- -sumption
that the British and :
. Canadian' contribution brought
the total close to 2.C20.C0O tons.

Hitler papers." , '
When he said "Hitieriz'ed pa
pers, Hitlerized papers," he-was
calling a million and a half cit
izens of the United States "Hit

brought to trial. There were four
witnesses that testified , to the
fact that Southwick did cross the
street, after standing and point

in 1943, anticipating that if
Roosevelt .was reelected and we
' got into war his following would
urge in 1944: "Don't changs
horses". Just as they are already
doing. The. country; went along
" with Roosevelt in 1940, and now.
ff we can reap the harvest of do
j mestic disorganization and dis
' cord. Willkie would have given
as competent and aggressive a
. foreign policy, and : could not
possibly have given as?ad an in
ternal administration. . - ..' .
t ; The public doesn't nave much
relish for "1 told you so"; but
1 can't resist putting , in this
-, two-bit's worth. The country got
just what it could expect: malad
ministration of the war on the
home front. ;
The main thing is the winning
of - the war in the shortest pos
sible time. It is poor patriotism
.to knife Roosevelt out of person
al malice. The country will have
a chance to express itself again
on the presidency, and probably
, on him as a candidate, next year.
Meantime we will have to' suffer
as best we can, hoping that by
some lucky accident an organiz
ing genius will appear who will
get and use authority to weld to
gether the contentious elements
' which divide their time fighting
the enemy and fighting among
themselves.
as he went across hollering "lilt
lerized papers."
. This has created a disturbance
on the street and the citizens of
today are greatly disturbed over
the, situation. And in this repre
sentation of the court, if the j
court did make this decision
which I have in question, as it !
leads you to a-political set up!
and in a just case of the four
witnesses that testified to the "
fact that he did go across the i
street waving his hands, holler
ing. "Hitlerized papers." Now.
then any court that will decide
a case like this in favor of the
defendant, in my -opinion, is that
he purges himself as a justice of
the peace.
To prove the defendant's hon
esty andLintegrity, he was asked
the question that, were . there
many on the corner when he
crossed the street, and he an
swered, "Three or four." I asked
the superintendent of the buses
regarding the number of peo
ple that - he transferred from
place to place, and he said his
average number was from 29 to
M, and his largest load was 40.
He takes these out on the quarter
bour, every 19 minutes, e bus
loads. That is about all the evi
dence that defendant could of
fer. '.
- Now I would like to go fur
tberwith this, as the defendant
attorney, George Rhoten, ' ques- i
Uoned me three times as to the
fact that I pointed my finc-r
at Southwick and called him
rat. I would not disgrace a rat
to any such way.
Now, I am always for jusUce
and hope this wCl be received
by the public in a rightful way.
