BUT THE FIGHT GOES ON
From whatever significance is to be attached to the re
ported statement bv Adolf Hitler that organized Gerniun
resistance has ceased, it would be well to eliminate any hope
ful thought that the Germans have quit lighting. iney nave
not, nor is it HKely that they will quit lighting lor some time
to come. Hundreds of thousands of thein, Killed or captured,
have quit, but many thousands more are moving rapidly
away irom present combat zones seeking more advantageous
positions.
These last named will fight again. They are perhaps the
most important part of the war picture in Germany today.
'Those Who are still in combat against the allies represent
the present and the immediate future of the war. iiut tne
troops who are getting out of harm's way are tne ones who
will prolong hostilities lor weeks, perhaps lor months to
come. Those remaining in direct comuat now can and will be
dealt with promptly.
.As to "organized resistance" or the cessation of it, there
may be some question as to just what is meant by tne pnrase.
Presumably tne term is intended to convey the tnougnt 01
large scale organized elfort in coniormity with planned ac
tion. This, we may guess, -would be Hitler's idea of it, with
the furtner quaiuication that the planned action should be
his planned action. Anything else, to him, would most certain
ly represent disorganization. But, if we drop down in the scale
of organization, it is reasonable to assume that companies,
regiments, even divisions are still operating with excellent
discipline undor as intelligent command as ever.
The fact that the scaie of organization is smaller, how
ever, must point to the breaking up of the larger units, of
the progressive disintegration 01 what was once the might
iest armed force in the world. There is little of spontaneity in
this -disintegration, it is coming about only under extreme
pressure, but this, to, is continuing and increasing. -
For tne forthcoming Kan Francisco conference all this is
well-timed indeed, in its task of world planning, the confer
ence win have no academic question to dispose of in deciding
on tne manner in wnicn uermany is to be managed as insur
ance tor peace. It will not be a case of "first eaten your Jiarc."
The hare is already caught.
German treasure hoards Which are being uncovered as
allied armies advance are vast by personal standards, but
shrink to iinsigniiance by national standards. But, 11 the
theory holds good that tne hundred millions or so hidden
away constituted a fund to be used alter the war in financing
the worn of emissaries chosen to work for reinstatement 01
the reich in tne atfections of other nations, then it grows
greatly in importance and the facts of discovery and seizure
grow also. Such use is now prevented.
This blocking of post-war penetration is by no means
. complete, however, according to a recent Collier's mngazino
.article, which told of German-owned industries, including
. munitions plants set up in Argentina, of heavy credits trans
ferred by way of Swiss banks and even of actual shipment of
large sums in bullion, also to Argentina. Whether tnese will
be lor the direct benefit of .the nigh rating nazis lor whom
the funds are ostensibly provided or whether tne minions sent
out will be cunningly used in preparation for another war a
few decades from now does not appear.
Whichever it is, we may be sure that the gold taken by our
forces in Germany will be put to better use.

"Maybe no one has made a go

have changed. Think rff the tour

Junction is going to be graveled,
and by summer automobiles will
be coming through here every
day. -
Our nearest city was the Junc
tion, 15 miles to the east. Two
trains . passed through it every
day. Its sidewalks were paved
and Its streets were lighted with
gas. It had a hotel and two drug-
stores. The Court House was
there, and the County Jail. You
could often see as many as five
automobiles on its streets at the
same time, some bearing banners
of cities as remote as 40 miles.
"With that new road, we'd have
more business than we could pos
sibly handle," he continued. "Why,
it s a sure thing."
She sighed again. She was
beaten and she knew it. "I sup
pose you will go ahead," she told
him. "But I am not going to have
anything to do with any hotel,

was not native to her. "That one,

, CHAPTER I
My father was a doctor and
proud of his calling, but he liked
to fancy himself a businessman
as well. The secret of good bar
gaining, he used to assure us,
lay in detecting latent possibili
ties. So, In making his rounds in
place, fully equipped, for $1500."
The American House was the
village hotel. It had been closed
for almost two years.
"Oh," my mother said, looking
disappointed. She had obviously
hoped for something more. That
a patient had paid a bill in cash,
maybe. "I can't imagine who
our little Maine village, he wasiwould buy it.. she went on ..I
lorever spotting uiiit-iuui a
woodlot, a blueberry pasture, once
even a chalk pond and hurrying
off to buy it before anyone could
get ahead of him. The rush was
quite unnecessary, for he seldom
had a competitor anti, once tne
property was his, never an In
sistent buyer. But this did not
deter him.
Late one March afternoon in
the year 130!) my mother and I
were alone in the sitting room,
waiting for him to come home
from his office. She was sewing
and at the same time helping me
with my arithmetic.
"If five times two Is. ten, then
five must go Into ten twice. Can't
you see the Lucy?" she said.
"Yes, Mama." But I couldn't
quite.
My mother was a very hand
some woman. She had thick,
chestnut hair, which she twisted
into a figure eight, and dark
eyes with heavy brows and lashes.
Her figure was slight and trim.
"Surely these three big girls can't
belong to you," strangers often
protested when they met her. We
girls used to get a little tired of
hearing It. But not my father. He
beamed as though every time
were the first. As though it were
a compliment to him, really. My
mother herself had no vanity, nor
did she allow us girls to develop
any. "It you behave as well as
you look," she used to say. Though
she had a way of not finishing
some of her sentences, she always
made her meaning clear.
"Then If rive times three is fif
teen." she went on.
"Here's Papa," 1 said, gcatcfiA
for the Interruption. "He's coming
up the driveway." He wasn't
wearing any gloves, 1 noticed, and
his overcoat was unbuttoned.
Ordinarily my father had no
patience with people who exposed
themselves.
ever there was an eyesore."
The American House was a
monstrosity. Built of frame and
painted a bilious yellow, It .rose
bluntly above our low, gabled
dwellings. The front was bad
enough. This had a covered
piazza, shading the lower floor
like a vis'or; then three rows of
windows, looking bare and shame
less without any blinds; then a
roof, like a high forehead. But
viewed from anypthcr angle the
place was a geometric nightmare.
"Eyesore!" my father protested
from the doorway. "Why, it's a
first-class bargain."
My mother gave him a quick
glance. "No one In town knows
the first thing about running a
hotel," she said.
"All it takes is a little effi
ciency," he assured her, turning
to hang up his coat. '
A red spot had appeared on
each of my mother's cheeks. "You
look tired," she said. "Your prac
tice is getting more than you can
handle."
He crossed the room, touched
me lightly on the head in pass
ing, and sat down In the wicker
rocker by the window. It crackled
under his weight. "Oh, I'm not
so busy," he answered lightly.
My mother put down her sew
ing. "That place needs a lot
of repair, inside and out," she
said. "Anyone who bought it
would have to lay out a good deal
of money."
"I've got $2500," he told her.
I looked closely at my mother.
Her cheeks were flaming, but she
spoke without losing her com
posure. "It's every cent you have
in the world," she reminded him.
"As long as it is in the bank. . . ."
I She had begun to sew again, and
her needle was flying. '
"What's the good of idle money
when you can invest it at 10 per
icent?" he demanded. Actually
money meant nothing to him. He
never carried more than a hand
ful of change.
My mother sighed. The chalk
pond had been bad enough and
the woodlot that had turned out
to be 20 miles from a highway.
But a hotel. That hotel . . . "If
any place ever had a history,"
she said.
My father must have been re
membering that. "We . wi
even have to go Inside it," he
promised. "I know where I can
get a manager on a co-operative
basis. With him there the place
would run itself."
My mother frowned over her
stitches. "It isn't Just Its repu
tation," she said. "It's the pros
pects. No one has ever made a
go of it since the mines closed."
I frowned smugly, catching
his eye. But he didn't seem to
get my meaning. He came right
on through the stormhouse and
Into the entry. "I heard some
news today," he saiii. i
"What was it?" my mother
asked, looking up. News was rare
in our village, especially at this
season. j
"The American House Is for
sale," he told her. "The whole

McGrady May Be
New Labor Chief
Washington, April 23 P) Presi
dent Truman is reported today to
be considering. Edward JFV Mc
Grady for nomination as secre
tary of labor. .
McGrady, assistant secretary of
labor from 1933 to 1937 and a long
time figure in' the American Fed
eration of Labor, has been in
charge of labor relations for the
Radio Corporation of Aremica and
is serving in this war as special
labor consultant to the secretary
of war.
Whether McGrady gets the Job
or not, one thing is sure: one of
the first cabinet members to go
will be the present secretary of
labor, Frances Perkins. McGrady,
according to' reliable information,
is acceptable to the AFL. ' The
congress of industrial organiza
tins may not be quite so agreeable,
but some of Truman's . close as
sociates say this factor will not
influence the appointment.
Questions Raised
If this analysis is correct, it
raises a number of questions
about the current White House
stature of the CIO's political ac.
Uon committee. The PAC had a v
strong White House position in 1

primarily to the heavy burden the
PAC carried during the past elec-
