Shipping After the ; War Typical of the problems of economic brother hood for the brave, new postwar world is the merchant marine. The American Merchant Ma rine Institute is urging that our merchant ma rine be sustained when the war is ov;t6 car ry products in our foreign trade. They would store in fresh water some 5,000,000 tons of shipping as a war reserve, then sell to private companies the war-built merchant vessels. Immediately the issue is raised that ship ping services have; been an , essential for the support of Great Britain, Norway and Holland. Before the last war American-registered ships carried only about athird of our foreign trade, foreign- ships carrying the remainder. To shift a large part of thfifforeign share to American Vessels would be to deprive these seafaring nations of the earnings which enable them to Import necessary food and other the collision arises between good which siyes employment to other nations and private domestic interest which would foster local merchant shipping. . I M ; Left to free competition American shipping would lose out, because construction and oper ating costs of foreign lines are much less than American. The merchant marine act which was getting into operation before the war provided subsidies for ship construction and liberal grants for operation of American flag ships. Presum ably the same aid will be extended after the war. - -J ' - ' :l The Liberty-type ships now being built are poorly adapted to competitive trade ( unless their old-style reciprocating engines are changed !to turbine drive. The Victory ships now being contracted for will be speedier vessels. The C-J ships of the maritime commission's design are - a very practical and "successful ship for com mercial transport. Unless our construction pro gram shifts heavily to the Victory of C-2 types our war-built ships will not be much of a factor after the war. The Liberties will be used for slow cargoes or tied up .for use as warehouses or mother ships in distant ports. In this fact may lie the answer the slow Liberties slip ping out of trade,, and the remaining fast and ef ficient ships forming the American merchant fleet of about the same proportion as in 'pre war days. Private capital will not venture very far, remembering its experience after the last ' war; and there will be a limit to the sum con gress will appropriate for ship subsidies. 'Work of Fight j It is very doubtful if congress in its sober judgment, will override the settled views of the. men charged with direct responsibility for con ducting the war and enact legislation forbid ding the drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. Lt. Geru McNarney, deputy chief of staff. Un dersecretary Patterson, of the war department, ' Admiral King, chief Of naval operations, all of fered as testimony to a senate-house committee their opinion that there should be no interfer ence with the induction plan of selective ser vice What has been happening at Salerno should have a sobering effect on the readiness of the congress to make vital decisions respecting the size of the army or the regulations covering in duction. Getting' into war industry still gives fathers deferment. What more can they ask? When the vote comes we predict that con gress will not adopt the legislation which Sen ator Wheeler is pushing to prohibit indefinite ly the induction of fathers. " J ' Selective service has postponed to the last the calling up of fathers. Local boards have paid due regard to family responsibilities of f men. put we have reached the time now when the full muster of our strength is needed to press the war to an early conclusion. Time may prove the war; department wrong in its estimates, but how. bitter would the country feel if the action of congress delayed victory a year and piled up greater casualties. . f ' ! . Patterson reported , that shortage of labor is cutting down the number of planes that might be produced and stated as his view that acorn- . pulsory control of manpower is the only solu tion. We may have to come to that; but first we should give, a try to a new system being in augurated on the west coast. It involves a con-' trol through referrals of workers from the man power office. Plants will be rated in importance and workers referred to them. Some latitude ; of choice will be permitted, and there it no compulsion about taking the job. It is believed that in practice both employers and employes : -will acquiesce in the plan. This is perhaps the last effort short of a labor draft, and is being i applied in the cities on the west coast where war contracts are heaviest. , - ; J : All this means that less essential business may suffer; but it is simply partof the cost of. the war to civilians. . The Four ! Vice President Wallace supplement s the four freedoms" with the, four he pro poses a 'workable world without worry."; This goes from the fatuous to the ridiculous, from illusion to delusion. What Wallace proposes is a. problem not of politics or economics but of psychology, and not even his mentor has inter preted freedom from want and fear to include freedom from worry. This is even more absurd ' than a pint of milk for every Hottentot. Probably the region where worries are few est, as far as food is concerned; is the South Sea isles where the natives live on cocoanut and' breadfruit and dip up a net of fish for change Of diet. Yet they have their worries, the evil spirit is always awaiting them behind the tree trunk.' ::y-Q. , - - :J " : '. . : If we.have to have four "Wi," signs point to the next democratic convention's making this a "workable v !J without Wallace.'" The papers are full of talk about the Italian boot. The old Oregon boot is just what Hitler and Mussolini need.

The radius of our fighter j planes averages only about 300 miles, and if considerable gasoline is used in ' hot fighting, they could not stay long over the Naples area. .... iK:'- 7 r:-:r H ? A British air general in Malta has said that the Spitfires in fast action could stay , up only about 15 minutes. ' -""'' I' " The most optimistic German claims mentioned only 125 to 150 of their planes in action in that : area, so there was no indication , whatever of ' a superior concentration of German planes on the : Italian front as a whole. We had air supremacy, but could not sustain it locally at the points of landing. - r j 4; r i There was no secret, about where we were going to attack. Naples la the largest and best Italian : port Nothing could keep their reconnaissance planes from discovering our approach to the shore. Therefore they had plenty, of time to concentrate not only what few planes they have, but consider- able artillery at excellent points. ? Of course they had spies in Sicily, to tell of our : collection of- ships long before we even moved. Furthermore our pre-invasion heavy air bombing attacks foretold the precise point of our Invasion to the nazis in language they could understand. . -, p Their , clever plan, of defensive grand strategy ' - likewise enabled them not only to escape the trip whkrh our whole plan of south Italy Invasion had 4 arranged for them, but they could bring to bear su perior strength at practically any chosen point Our grand scheme was to land on the toe of the ' boot to draw the Germans into the extreme south -: of Italy and then start encircling movements on both the east and west coast behind them. The nazis refused to bite. They put practically nothing in the toe and little . : in the heel of the Italian boot, retaining the bulk of their' force .back inj the center of the peninsula where it could be shifted in superior force to meet ; landings. '- 1 - , , - The Germans.had about three and one-half di visions (around 50,000 men) in the Naples-Salerno , area. At the Sele river, -this mobile force not only repelled our attack with superior artillery, at great cost of lives to us, but cut its way actually to the beach at the mouth of the river and, for a time, : divided our force. 1 ;". ' . - . v 1 '4 Some dispatches have suggested mat we even had to fight armored cars against their tanks but we certainly had tanks-In the action in the begin ning. Some units were destroyed by heavy 'bomb- . ing which the Germans had prepared for our land ; ing, but several units got ashore. K - h v ; ; ; Later, the air fields at Bari, captured by Mont- gomery, across the Italian peninsula, became avail- ; able. But some days are required to get gasoline, ' technicians and spare parts into seized fields In order to make the efficient bases for continuous attack, y ; i iS'j' iw i i - The costly1 lesson learned was that landing in vasion operations are extremely hazardous without landed artillery' and .air coverage. Our naval gun . coverage and bombings were just not enough to protect anything except the immediate ; landing ' aperations. They were no good when we got ia land. ;:- ,r. - . , .

It is not as large ; as Austria or Poland, or Norway or France or even Belgium and Luxembourg. In fact it is only 109 acres in size But the Germans have conquered it, set up ( their tanks and: guards : there, all braced to meet the enemy. This new conquest is Vatican City, the little tract in Rome : where the pontiff exercises temporal as well ; as spiritual -authority, by virtue of the concor dat of 1929. Once more the pope is a prisoner, as he has been many times in the long history of the Catholic church. ; - r Just what excuse the Germans have to set up their authority" at the Vatican only the nazi mind can reveaL Perhaps to shut off the radio Vatican ; perhaps to keep under I surveillance the doings of the cardinals and others of the Vatican-establishment. It is not probable that will molest or destroy St. Peter's or the other edifices in Vatican, City; and surely they will not make of the area a battleground. ; As i or the Roman jchurch its power of sur i vivad has been tested through many centuries. ' A Chinese news agency says there has been a clash between Japanese soldiers and inhab itants of Outer Mongolia. Perhaps, but it hard ily seems probable that Japan. will take on an other war at presents The Japs still recall the clawing the Russian bear gave them in fighting along the border in 1937. The country still has a surplus of radio com mentators, newspaper columnists and editors, ' but they wouldn't ,be good for much even as machinist helpers. .

Clark shifted at ' once from the defensive to the offen sive yesterday in the dangerous center section of his line south ' of Mount Eboli. As was to be expected, his attack was aimed up the level lands between the. Sele and : Calore rivers, suitable for tank r action. That demon strates that he has been heavily reinforced I not ' only with men, but with heavy tanks and mo bile guns to outmatch the nazi armor' hurled against his orig inal landing forces. - , J A forward lunge of a few miles up the Sele river valley by the 5th army would place ; it astride primary road - and rail : routes which are vitally needed by nazi forces n the big coastal hump south of the lower bridge-: head ' anchor lat Agropoli. .

I was not allowed to have a chance to1 ask him about anything, for Ota came In with him just behind the La thams and kept his hand on his arm, talking volubly in Japanese as they made their way to th table in front Of the living room - door. When f lComake - helped Rawson let" down a matting cur tain over the door I thought I saw my chance end started out pf my chair. My inflexible guard, however, pulled me back firmly as Ota was shouting for the jury . to be brought in.; At the table Komako took ba- nanas from the bulging; side pockets .of his khaki .coat and .laid them on the table. Then he produced a rolled-up manuscript in blue covers. I almpst shouted aloud. He had found the missing copy of the play! He must now hold the key, to the whole situa- Jtion. I looked quickly around the , circle. Every eye was turned to- ; - ward "Komako. There - was no . doubt about it, everyone present was tense and anxious" as Koma . , ko exhibited the manuscript. " i J The twelve fishermen filed in solemnly and were sworn in by Ota, acting as coroner. I sank ; back in my chair, feeling great - relief, for' I figured that Komako . intended to use 'the play at the " proper-moment. 'Meantime,' I un derstood that Ota's version of an ; inquest must proceed on its legal i way. ' ' : -: They ; had decided, evidently, to hold a joint inquest over: the ' . deaths of Delmar . and his wife. I was the Star witness, having ' . found both bodies.-1 told just how I had discovered Delmar's body - in the ice locker, how I had gone : ashore to report it (I omitted all mention oi the spear ana now . we' had found the body gone when X returned to the sampan with the others. But my omission was prompt ly filled in. Budd and Thornton, both testified that. I had been confused as to the. instrument thafcaosed the death, first stat- ' Ing that Delmar had been stab bed by! a fish spear, then that there was no spear." Mokino was called and said positively - that when he saw the body, he knew . the wound was one made by a f spear;; :, . ;:0 ':--v Then Herb triumphantly took the stand with Exhibit "A." It was my spear, promptly identi fied as : such. He said he had found it hidden under dead palm ; fronds - near the beach. It was passed- to the jury to note my initials , and . the dried blood on the shaft. t 7 I began to aweat, in spite of my hopes of what Komako could do , with his possession of the play.

The inquest proceeded with, x to me, a nightmarish speed arid precision. After I told of finding! Mrs. Delmar stii.be i to death, my knife was introduced as ev - idence and examined by a visi bly impressed jury.
