Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur P.rry The Morgenthau plan calls for making Germany a nation of farmers, without Industries, giving France the Rhine, and East Prussia to Poland and di viding the remainder Into two states. One state should be smaller than the other, so when given the super-krauts feel a world- conquering spell coming on, they would have a smaller peo ple to overrun. The rural scene Is so thickly dotted with straw piles, people have started to fear a shortage of straw for straw votes. Better None Than Too Little Wo Hnn'r. nm-pf with those who want the doors thrown open to the public at Dumbarton Oaks. International discussions 01 sucn moment,, snoum ho carried on sub rosa. or satisfactory agreements 'would be difficult, if not impossible. But there should be more miormauon irom ume to time than has been the case in the Washington conference, and especially there should be more com plete information. In other words, to parapnrase a wen Known aaage, too little information regarding such conferences may be a dangerous thing. AS an example of what we mean, recent press dis WnsViinirrnn havp declared Dum barton proceedings have been held up by Soviet Rus sia, because ot staim s insistence uiai any ueuisiun to use force in tne proposed league against a war disposed nation, must be unanimous among the Big Four. In the same dispatch it was declared China opposed any such restriction, while Stalin's insistence was based upon the declaration that it takes two to make a war. a NO further details were given and there was no further elucidation at least in that particular story as it came over the wire. Far better to have released nothing, than to have sent such a confused and incomplete report as that. For certainly if Soviet Russia does insist upon unanimity among the Big Three or Jour there must be some more convincing reasons than the one the people of the dangers before them, but constantly allayed their fears, and declared among other things that as long as he was President no American boys would be asked to shed their blood on foreign soil! WE grant the sneak attack by Japan completely fViQrifrar f V a ei ft infirm na frt no fViof nlnsl ren was concerned. But we also maintain that if President Roosevelt had not deliberately placed selfish POLI TICS above self sacrificing STATESMANSHIP, at that very critical time, this country would never been as completely unprepared as it was, when the Jap bombers swooped down from the skies on Pearl Har-borl The metropolis Is running out , of cigarettes, and the alibis trotted forth In explanation bear a strong resemblance to those offered for the recent whiskey famine. In the latter crisis, Cuban rum was Imported for rough Sc ready whistle-wetting. Spanish cigarettes may be rushed to the rescue, and such a rescue is viewed with dismay. The quality is no better but leaves the smoker with the im pression he Is puffing on an old shoe. Old brands are showing up.

Eve. Post) "The famous Mme, Reca mler said that ' she always found two words sufficed to make her guests feel their welcome. Upon their arrival she said, "At lastl" and when they took leave she said "Al ready?" Gen. Elsenhower has Issued a et of etiquette rules for Nazis, now that the Allies are on the "sacred soil" of the "super race". They are quite a blow to the pride and bullheadedness of the Teutons, who are faced with the humiliation of obeying orders, Instead of issuing them. The troops are Instructed not to make friends with fiends. There will be none of the gay social festivities that graced the liberation of Paris, while snipers played on the roof of tall build ings.

Marlene Dietrich, a Holly wood beauty queen, announces she will not display her shapely shanks on screen or street un til after the war. War Is war, and all must be brave and grim and put up with this sacrifice until the bitter end. . The weather of the past few days hns put a crimp In straw hats, and citizens running around in their shirt sleeves to show their suspenders. Reports from Bombay say the situation In India Is "filled with new aggravations". H. Flcwher. the late demon baker is in that unhappy land, and may have as saulted Its major problems with his trusty screwdriver. e e Hunters are all set for their hegira to the hills after the an nual deer. Though gas ration ing Is In full effect and force few expended shoo leather In getting there. All are urged to exercise care and caution with matches, and not shoot at any movement being a bush, before they see hair and horns. If the exact nature of the difficulty can't be clearly explained, so the man in the street can understand it, far better, not to bring up the matter at all. What Does It Mean? Speaking of news censorship, the recent dispatches from Holland have been puzzling. Just what the big idea is we can't make out. But for two weeks now the allied command has, as the saying goes, been calling its shots. And one shot it called, the m-tated Arnnem para- troop sortie, proved a tragic miss. WE can't help but believe, that jumping the gun in that fashion and telegraphing the punch had something to do with the deploreable result. For on the verv dav the British "lied Devils" set out, the fact was announced by cable from London. It was not only announced, but its exact purpose was outlined namely to catch' the' Germans in the rear, outflank the Siegfried line and open a breach, through which allied power would smash into the plains of north Germany. WHEN the dispatch came over the wire it caused considerable comment in this office and no doubt did in other newspaper offices. What was the big idea? Certainly Germany quick ly secures the news sent to the outside world from London were the allies so confident they could call their shots or was this a false report, a news release feint, while the real smash would be some where else? It proved to be the former and 7 or 8 thousand pick ed troops were wiped out I rF course the news announcement may have had nothing to do with the result. But it does seem strange, that mere details about a single officer's plane trip say to New Guinea is cen sored, because it might give important information to the enemy; while a dispatch announcing an attack before it has been completed, ISN'T. And now we are told: "British troops veered westward Thursday night In an effort to pin perhaps 200,000 German troops against the sea In western Holland." Is that warning the 200,000 German troops in west ern Holland or isn't it? The entire news pattern since France was knocked out has this department stumped. Perhaps one of these days the O.W.I, will explain it. Look Up The Record According to report, President Roosevelt will an swer Governor Dewey's Oklahoma speech this next week, choosing the subject of war preparation. A good Democratic case can be made, of course, on the record of the Republican opposition in pre war days and the President can be relied upon to make the most of it. But if this ends the debate we will be greatly sur prised. For this much is absolutely true, and impartial listorv we believe if it IS impartial will so record it. THE best informed man in this country, on the 1 actual FACTS when Japan marched into Man churia and Germany marched into Poland, was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The one man who knew better than anyone else, that ultimately the United States would almost CER TAINLY be drawn into this second World war, was also the President of the United States. Yet with this knowledge, With all the supporting facts, instead of informing the people of the country of the dangers before them, he not only said nothing (except in one isolated speech) but because the News Behind The News By Paul Mallon be built up our way econom ically and crushed only mili tarily? No one here yet seems to have ah answer to these ques tions which others will agree ably accept. 23 JAP VESSELS London, Sept. 29 (UR) Brit ish submarines sank 32 Japanese vessels during recent patrol operations in far eastern waters and bombarded enemy shore in stallations on Christmas island, south of Java, an Admiralty communique revealed today.

Therefore, I believe the av erage congressman would favor some plan to keep her at least on a self-sustained basis. If she can be kept demilitarized, as suredly so, It would satisfy them. IF allied commissions have ac- cess to inspection or some means of that nature is devised to guarantee no future revolts it could no doubt get congres sional approval where any sim ple dismemberment scheme would fail to stand the test of full debate. Another point you hear from congress, off the record, is this: We will have to occupy Ger many, perhaps for a long time. If she is not to have an indus try, a WPA will have to be cre ated to feed her Indefinitely, and presumably at our expense or at the expense of tho allies.

What to do then about Ger many? Shall she be maintained in a reasonable separate coher ence, as little burden to us as possible? Should she be all taken and divided and thus reach some degree of economij sustenance for her remaining people?
