Eyes East in Germany
American attention is naturally concentrated
.on the Normandy, peninsula and Italy, as far
as the European theatre is, concerned, but in

Polotsk, the last Russian city of size in Ger

the old road of Napoleon's tragic retreat, to- ,
ward Warsaw ... toward Berlin.
The extent of the German debacle may be
seen in the report that 17 German divisions ;
have been torn to shreds and that their losses
in killed, wounded and captured will run to
some 200,000 men. The speed of the Russian
advance is also amazing and must be frighten
ing to the German high command: 150 miles
on a front of 300 miles in 11 days. Now virtu
ally all of Russia is liberated from the hands
of the invader, the Baltic states are about to

It hardly seems probable that Hitler can build

They now must build up strength for a sus

'BerlinJ About all the choice the Germans now
have; is which invading army to surrender to.
Regardless of terms of peace i Russia has
established a prestige for power which will long
survive. Despised by the Germans as an in
ferior people their armies have beaten Ger
many's best soldiers. In doing that they have
won the acclaim that always goes to the victor.
There 'is some hope however that Stalin will

favor
peace,
its final action. Western stockmen and packers
will continue their fight against the reduction
before the commission. ,
This fight has' been going on for many
months. The late Arthur Geary,- Portland at
torney,, represented western livestock interests
in opposing the petition of the midwestem in
terests for this reduction. The latter sought
the rate cut so they .would get a new outlet
for their surplus meat Midwest -packers in
particular have been pushing the fight for the
rate cut.- ...,'". x ' :
The effect of the cut will be to open up north
west markets to Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa
fresh meats, especially pork, which would bring
competition with northwest 'producers and
packers. The west is normally an exporter of
beef cattle and sheep, but imports a consider
able quantity of hogs or pork products. The "
examiner in this report . blames freight rates
with the lack; of free movement of pork be
tween sections but blames economic conditions .,
.with the lack of movement; of beef, veal and
lamb. He recommends a complete new schedule
of rates. - 4f j!;;'
The facts are that the midwest section can'
produce finished meats more cheaply than the
far west. Here we can turn off the cheapest
beef and lamb and mutton from the ranges,
but where stock is to be fed out for finish they
can do that much more cheaply ! in the corn
belt than here. The relatively high freight
rates on meats from the midwest have served
as a form of protection for western producers
which they are loathe to lose.:, fj f
This is not a case where political pressures
count for much. The westerners will have to
present their easel as forcefully and as clearly
as. possible, and then trust that the interstate
commerce comission will not throw them to the
midwestem wolves. ' !';

Bixori Flooded With Stories
About Screivball Captures ;

After the battle was over Pvt. David Thomas,; Lorain, Ohio,

Today'
Dewey- and the Governors
Gov.' Dewey' reveals that his summer plans
include a conference with republican govern
ors. This, is politically smart,' because there
are 2$- of them, and the electoral votes of these
26 states could decide (the election. Moreover
the lining up of the political machines of these
28 governors will offset in considerable meas
ure the power of the Roosevelt federal ma
chine,! Nor are the governor's machines in
hibited by the Hatch act; they can still operate
along conventional political lines in applying
pressures and lining up votes.
Those who are inclined to concede the re
election of Roosevelt fail to take into account
some of the practical politics of this election,
ot which the republican domination of 26 states
is a conspicuous factor. Then there are other
factors: the shifting back to the republican fold
of thousands of negro voters in northern states;
the experienced management in sight for di
recting the Dewey campaign; the prospect of
full cooperation between Dewey's political
cabinet and the party organization down to the
precincts. . " : . . ; -
, I A preview of the campaign would seem to
sketch it like thi$: Dewey will make only a few
speeches, will not attempt to swing wide circles
of travel as many candidates have. ..The few
speeches will be designed to capture votes and
so wiUSbe tailored to catch the prevailing
winds. Great reliance will be put on close
organization, reaching into all the disaffected
groups,'' into the foreign language groups, into
the sectional groups, into farm groups and into
every i possible pocket of votes. Dewey will
give the impression of activity, while Roose
velt may appear to be the reluctant draftee
for a! fourth term, and. this picture will bene-
' fit Dewey. ... '..
So from a cold, political analysis there are
very reasonable grounds for thinking , that
Dewey may prove to be the St. George to slay
the democratic dragon of 1944.
War Cost $200 Billions!
The Fifth War loan has been oversubscribed,
locally and nationally. There will be a sixth
war loan next November or December; and
additional war loans may be expected as long as
the war lasts and then some.1;Up to the first
of July this war cost the USA right at $200,
000,000,000f since July 1, 1940. That is at the
rate of $140,000,000 a day. These figures are
meaningless to the . average " man, so many
ciphers leave him dizzy. i i V 1 . J '
Here are a few figures: the government's .in
come during the last fiscal year amounted to
over $44,000,000,000, just about twice the take
for the year preceding. But at;that the deficit
for the year amounted to approximately ;
$50,000,000,000. So when one talks about bal
ancing the budget the trick can be accomp
lished by cutting the expenditures in two or
doubling the tax and other sources of income.
Tax increases cause protest, ; but so does the
cutting of expenditures; so it pwill be a Jong
time before Uncle. Sam's budget is in balance.
Of course the fundamental reason why these
war loans are oversubscribed, " aside from
patriotism, is the simple fact that' thes spend-'
ing is colossal and there is little other place
for investment of funds on a large scale.
