Plight of True liberals' Vice .President Wallace and Sen. Pepper of Florida have met to plan the continuance of the fight for liberalism in -government. They will need to plan and to fight, for they have lost the vehicle of their escent to power. The bosses, as Wallace well knows, have repossessed the democratic party, party bosses, city machine bosses. As time, foes on the "true liberals" will find out they have been sold down the river. The defeat of Wallace in the democratic con vention and the nomination of Sen. Truman in his stead marked the take-over of the party by the politicians displacing the reformers. The latter will do their utmost to think they are till in power, but they will find that, unless they can make their leadership effective in congress as well as in the party convention, they will be in a minority status. During the next four years, if Roosevelt is reelected, we will see a real battle for the succession. Roosevelt himself will be concerned with world affairs. There is little chance he' would want or could win a fifth term. So the aspirants for power will be in continuous con flict. And the struggle will naturally lie be tween the old-time politicians and the "true liberals." . ; Mr. Wallace himself seems to sense this fact, and is aiming at leadership of the left wing. Xlis aaorcsa at mc viuugu iuutcuuvu vtu mu only defiant of his opposition but an outline for his own political program. The right wing of the party, so long in the shadow, has no such young and aggressive leadership, but soon will aspire to it without a doubt. Meantime the "true liberals' to whom party ties mean virtually nothing, will be left home less. They will vote for Roosevelt out of mem ories for the grand crusade. It may end up they are rejects from the democratic party which they captured and ruled ruthlessly fpr a time. Differentials Preserved The interstate commerce commission has de nied a. petition of Washington lumber-mills fpr removal of the rate differential favoring Ore gon mills on lumber shipments to California and southwestern states. The differential ranges from two cents a hundred pounds to 17 cents. The decision of the commission effectively pre serves for Oregon mills a rate advantage in sales of lumber for the area mentioned, which is a large consumerof northwest lumber. In normal times however the differential does not shut out Washington mills from this mar ket, because Puget Sound and Grays harbor and Willapa harbor and Columbia river mills ship by water to Sair Pedro or Wilmington and distribute from docks there. Until shipping is restored all shipping is done by rail, but with demand as heavy "as it Is the Washington mills will not suffer much.l The buyer ihe govern mentwill pay the freight, and specify destinations. "Fluid" Battle of France Four years ago last spring at the height of the battle of France, some French general said: The battle of position is over; the, battle of movement is begun."-That was when Franc found its dependence on the Maiginot line Vain, when the German spearheads were racing through French towns and villages, with amaz ing speed, when the French army was endeavor ing to get out of its fixed positions and stem the onrushing tide in a battle of maneuver. ) France is now seeing a repetition bit thai sit uation. There was fear two weeks ago that our campaign in Normandy was falling into a stale mate, that our armies would have to fight a war of attrition. But when Gen. Bradley's troops blew out the plug at St Lo andj the exploited the break-through of the German lines the "battle of movement" began. Since then action has been what the military men call "fluid." And "fluid" is correct, for the Yanks have been rolling toward Paris as though they; had a furlough there. Le MJns, important junction point, has been reached' and passed. There are no fixed defenses Intervening before Paris. Un less the Germans can reform and cut off or blunt the American, spearhead, the allies will stand soon at the very gates of the; one-time proud French capital. ? ; The Canadians by their own powerful at tack are pressing the Germans back i and join ing in the race to Paris. The dual; thrust is send ing the Germans in recoil and help prevent their reforming for the defense of Paris.'; j Once again the "battle of France lis joined, but this tune the liberation, not the conquest A Liberty ship is to be named after Lunsford Richardson, founder of Vick Chemical company.

From Other Papers FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH This is the story of a Marshfield dog ... a simple ' tale of silent worship and heart-breaking grief. The dog has no pedigree, boasts no ribbons for I honors won on outstanding points. His one enduring ' quality is loyalty . . . the kind of loyalty that never once haswavered in all his 10 years of life. Two years ago this dog's young master Joined the army air corps. For weeks the dog laid by the gate awaiting his return, leaping up unexpectedly, ears cocked, with each approaching step. Day by day , this silent devotion drew him closer to the parents of the boy, until the three became inseparable. This ' in a measure seemed to assuage his grief, but still, only at night would he leave off his watchful wait ; ing at the gate to slink whining to his blankets. Recently the parents, of the young flier moved ' from Marshfield and the faithful old dog was left with relatives to begin even a longer and more " heart-breaking vigil. - - No longer could he be coaxed from his place at the gate., Food placed before him went untouched. , Occasionally he would take a few' laps of water, ) nothing, more. Deep misery crept 'Into his eyes, re- fleeting the slow, deathly hurt In his aging heart. .- Night found him whimpering as he closed aching '. eyes to.which no sleep would come. - - .Four days of this . . . then the parents of the boy were contacted. They came for the dog. And as their car turned the corner half a block away he was up and over the gate like a catapult. His whimpering ' turned to half-human shrieks as he sped to meet - the can Through - an open door he plunged and onto the back' seat, where he cowered, whining as ' though fearful that something would again tear him from the things he loved. : , . That night in the ;new home he ate, wolfing his' food in avage glups; That night he drank i lap ; ping the water . with feverish, haste. That night he , slept, syrawled on a- rug before the fireplace: But V each footstep outside brought him alert, listening. lie had found something of his old happiness, but : still there was something gone out of his life;. , . the springy step, the cheerful call of the young . army flier. : " , : ,r':Vr':'.':C- -:' :l'.-t .

The scythe-like American sweep up the Loire val ley could be pointed at Paris itself, or headed to by-pass the city and cross the Seine far inland to outflank its whole course to the sea. It could begin curling northeastward to get between the main German army and Paris and the Seine and destroy it in the field between a British-Canadian anvil and a many-headed American armored ham mer. .;V;":;;V!''Hi:i,;i f jt"':: '7 i There seems no question now that the foe In France has been and is being not only: out-numbered, out-gunned, out-planned, and i out-fought; but out-guessed and out-generaled jfcta well.

I believe however there is a larger' meaning in this frame up, that it reveals the settled purpose of the nazl gangsters never to surrender and never to allow any other responsible group In Germany: to surrender. The course they choose is victory or chaos. That of course has been their alternative from the very first, gilded for the people with the bright promise of splen did victory. Latterly Dr. Goeb bels has definitely said that if the Hitlerites fall they will take Europe down In ruin with them. I do not think we should re gard this as mere rhetoric George Axelsson, Swedish jour nalist, writing to the New York Times, says: This nazl -vengeance will first be visited on the unoccupied countries and, in due course, on the reich itself." Reports come that the Ger mans are applying a "scorched .earth' policy in East Prussia, in the path of the Russian Invaders. The worst threat is not to buildings and factories and pow er plants, though the resulting damage would greatly disrupt Europe's economic life, but rath er to political institutions, par ticularly within Germany. The occupied countries can reestab lish their governments when they are liberated, and most of them have traditions of popular or constitu 1 1 o n a 1 government which can be revived. What will happen in Germany, though, of fers a threat to workable peace. Looking ahead we can" foresee no general surrender by Hitler, or his Himmler-Goerlng-Goeb-bels triumvirate. The now cowed army dares not surren der en masse,, but only as indi vidual groups. Internal govern ment in Germany will disinte grate as the armies ; Nazi f jwodlnms " will run' the towns and: communities as long as they can.

Hilary St George Ssaaders (MacmUlan; 2). Hilary St George Saunders is an economical man. He has been behind some five fictitious writ ing names, either as the whole or half of a writing team. His "Combined Operations," a Brit ish government publication was a 1943 Book-of-the-Month choice on this side, and a corking job, too. It was as a result of this American success that Saunders came to America for six weeks in 1943, and those six weeks (as -you might expect) produced stfll another book. This he calls "Pio neers!
