PAC2 TCZ1 ' mMo Favor Swayt Us; No Fear ShaU Ad . j . ' rrcsn Tint Statesman, March 28.' 1831 ' . THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY J t '." . - CHARLES A. SPRAGUE, Editor and Publisher . - - . Member ol tht Awodated Press The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited' in this newspaper. 17 Ciins for DeGaulle ' Washington rolled out the red carpet for Gen. DeGaulle, head of the French committee for a provisional government, on his arrival for a call on Pres. Roosevelt.' He got a 17-gun salute, on his rank as a general, though not the 21 guns of a king or president, He was welcomed at the airport by Gen. Marshall and Adm. King, and received at the White House by Pres. probably' is Hitler's over the " allied landings Roosevelt, Secretary Hull and officers. And he is being; housed in Blair house, the house maintained by the depart ment of state for the accomodation of visiting notables. -. " ... ' The advance reports indicate however 4 that DeGaulle does not expect to win' his fight for recognition as the provisional government of . 'France. He is just here to "improve relations,w though of, course the prime stumbling block is -refusal of the United States to recognize the DeGaulle committee, except in tantative man ner. Pres. Roosevelt himself is said to be the one primarily responsible for non-recognition. The British are ready to give such recognition, and Russia and numerous governments-in-exile have already .done so; but Roosevelt holds out against it. The weight of opinion , is strongly in favor of letting the DeGaulle committee function un til France can hold its elections. The terms of " the j conimittee's own declaration are limiting, restricting it to temporary life and promising opportunity for early decision by the French people themselves on their form of government and their rulers. While the DeGaulle commit tee is not the formal creation of the French people, it is the only existing agency assuming to speak for France, outside the bastard Vichy government run by. Pierre Laval in the interest of the Nazis. Moreover the French patriots and the French underground definitely regard the DeGaulle committee at Algiers as the sole authority and the one to take over when France is liberated. It would seem as though the allies should extend to this committee recognition as a de facto government, on condition that provide for a fair general election in France at the earliest possible date. This will avoid con flict and misunderstanding with the French people. V One thing which irks DeGaulle and his com mittee is the ignoring of France when it comes . to discussions of strategy and of postwar plans. It is understandable why military plans are not freely discussed with the French because of the danger of leakage Of information. But it is a mistake to omit France in talking about post-war Europe. While' France is humbled a restored France' should become a ' great con tinental power. It was, next to Britain, the country with the largest colonial empire which is also a ' factor to be considered. A revived . France should again become a bulwark of. democracy on the continent and a foil to Ger man aggression. Under wise leadership France may regain the prestige which gave it a posi tion of prideful eminence among the nations for many' centuries. T . The United States, which has a historic debt to France and which has long enjoyed friendly relations with the country, ought to be the first to help it get back on its feet Admittedly the people over the country do not know the "inside" of the relationships with DeGaulle, who seems fo be something of a prima donna himself and difficult to get along with. Still , the people may have a better balance of judg ement in this matter than the president because they can look at the question in its broad aspects unifluenced by the petty piques that often irritate the principals. The Statesman wishes the president would seize the occasion of DeGaulle' s visit to send, him home happy and make the French people happy by granting his committee recognition as a provisional governing agency lor ranee. 100 Penalty Is . Salem being made the guinea pig on enforcement of the federal auto stamp tax? We have not seen in papers from other towns references to any7 Such crack-down as was ; visited on local motorists starting July 5th. Considering the fact that in former years the enforcement of the . auto stamp requirement was very tardy it would seem fair to motorists to have given a blunt warning of the fate awaiting delinquents. x The penalty moreover is one where the punishment does not fit the crime. It amounts to 100, and is imposed by an adniinistrative agency, not by a court. Presumably somewhere11 In the books there may. be authority for mak ing this squeeze, but it is far Out of proportion to the degree of the offense. , v w We recall one time a dozen years ago or so that the state police began rounding up de linquent "motorists immediately after the due rate for new licenses. It didn't prove popular, s id since then a little more grace is allowed. The state gets all its license money, and the , motoring public isn't badgered into, buying its tags. The internal revenue bureau might tear this leaf out of the book of state experience. After all, in terms of mileage the aute stamps aren'! worth five dollars when compared with" the use allowed when the tax was first imposed. The highway department should change Its "si?ns at bad rpots in the roads from "Men at "Work to "lien at V7tt - -V- From Other Papers - Well, the latest game commission report on fish ing conditions contains ' , an item on Deschutes county. Something else that is new has also been Eii'd. Jackson county Is listed in central Oregon aloni with '.Wasco, L&ke and Klamath while Jose-; phine is sliown in eastern Oregon with Deschutes,! Crook and Jefferson. Confusing to the new-comer: but probably it-makes no ClXirC.s for every body knows that the best fL'ii li ia Deschutes, whether you think of it as ia central, eastern or southern Crc-cn. Eeni .D -He tin. . , Change in Commanders - Hitler has changed commanders in the west. He . has replaced Field Marshal Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt with Field Marshal Guen ther von Kluge, but in doing so he wrote the -; displaced marshal' a sort of "Dear Karl" letter. While der fueher attributes he switch to von Rundstedt's ill other cabinet and occupation of Cherbourg. He is attempting to retrieve his fortunes j by changing com- . mandersv . " '' i ' ' ' - ' - Along with this announcement came word that the Germans were moving up armies and artillery to stop the allied advance. The imme diate objective seems to be to contain the in vaders on the Cotenlin peninsula, and then if at all possible to roll them back into the sea. The purpose is clear: the Germans' do not want to let the allies break through and get onto the French Mainland. They they could strike north and cut off the rocket bomb launching area, or , strike south and cut of f Brittany and gain the port of Brest, or strike east toward Paris and Germany itself. The Germans realize that if our armies with their superior mechanized ' equip ment and fire, power and, with their vastly superior air force can get to the mainland where they would have wide opportunities for maneuver they could . speedily roll back the German forces, harrassed as they are for lack . of reserves of men and materiel. I Unable to plug all the breaches in his de fense wall Hitler chooses the break-through in the west as the one giving the best promise of success or the one which demands the earli- ' est attention. Of course1 j he is waging a losing fight, and his shifts of generals and re inforcements is merely his frantic endeavor to wafd off the doom which he still refuses' to admit is inevitable. Hitler will probably fight to the very last. It will be some deputation of generals in the field who will beg for terms of surrender. The Jesse Jones Editorial The - Jesse Jones editorial in his Houston Chronicle reads like a belated, forced statement on the troubled Texas political situation.- It sounds as though it had been wrung out of him" by Washington new dealers. Or perhaps he felt he had to write it to convince the White House that he had nothing to do with the. frame-up in the regular convention which ; in effect "bolted" the national ticket in advance of its being named. This would seem to confirm re ports that Jones was kept busy after the con vention assuring Washington new dealers, that he had nothing to do with what happened in his old home state. U i The Janes editorial admits i the validity of the proceedings of the convention of regulars, but scolds its managers for changing the rules of the game, by holding onto the democratic lable while exempting the electors from voting for the national convention's nominee. He says that this frame-up will prevent many voters from voting for the person of their own choice. This of course is what was intended to keep , hold of the . party machinery and still not de liver the electoral vote to Roosevelt. I What is probably the case is fthat Jesse Jones has more ' sympathy with the anti-new deal conception but feels personally- bound to the president under whom he has retained office. His editorial may be the opening attempt to effect a fusion of the regulars and the Roosevelt bolters, so that traditionally democratic Texas will remain pro-Roosevelt this . year. That may explain why it is so weak; If that . isn't the purpose it is hard to see whyi it was written, and one would conclude its lachrymose content ' is just crocodile tears. f ; MaMBMHasMaMaaMiBHMakassHBBaMMBsaBBsi (Interpreting The War News j V By KIRKE L. SIMPSON ! " Events across for the better to Russian-Allied ' Nipponese axis In when 'the B-29s Pearl Harbor is doubted that the attack stepped up sharply; the heavy attrition toll being taken of , the Japanese navy and cargo fleet, however. ? . , - - There was already .ample evidence that enemy shipping in the Pacific theatre is going down faster than it can be replaced. . . The second Superfortresses raid on Japan upon the seventh anniversary of her unprovoked attack on China, lent immediate support to the Chiang Kai-shek anniversary statement o his war weary and ill-equipped people that help was coming. And to cap it came a Chungking disclosure that the enemy offensive in Hunan province bad been oefinitely blunted at Hengyang.1 v ( Chinese spokesmen said the? danger of a Jap anese break-through to join now also stalled forces in the south and cut China apart from Peiping to Canton had been averted for some time to come. - They gave full credit to the American air force , In China for crucial aid in checking the toe. ; - The Japanese drive , along the peiping-Hankow-Canton railway was primarily aimed at preventing American use of southeastern Chint air bases. The . Chinese victory at Hengyangr foreshadows new superbomber raids against the heart of the Nip ponese war effort in Japan Itself. Details of both of second Superfortress raid on Japan and of the battle of Hengyang are still to ; come, and their full significance Is yet to be indi- - cated. It appears certain, however, that the enemy ' again badly under-rated Chinese ability and will to fight and allied ability. to'get important stocks a of fighting equipment to Chinese troops despite all communication difficulties.
