WASHINGTON. July J No one really
surprised it th WallaceJones outbreak
except President Roosevelt (he said). even though
Roosevelt'e own edict (lest
Aueust 21) banning official
(crapping in public.
It is an old private ieua.
The secret behind it is that
Vice President Wallace has a
Mank check on Jesse Jones
RAF to draw any amount he
wants for practically any pur
chase of "strategic' materials
unless Mr. Jones can find
MALLOW some defect in the requisition.
One of Mr. Wallaces associates has testified
h expects to buy 12,000,000,000 worth of items
in the next year, and already he has paid out
$1,600,000,000, so he Is doing a very big busi
ness, all in secret with only fragmentary re
ports, and under an authority which was given
to him originally by an executive order from
FDR, not by act of congress.
Ia the beginning, by law of congress. Jones
was doing the purchasing on recommendations
from Mr. Wallace's bureau of economic war
fare, but Wallace slipped down to the White
House and got an executive order requiring
Jones, for more than a year now, to five him
any money he wants.
This little private economic warfare that Mr.
Wallace has been conducting largely through bis
assistant, Milo Perkins, really represents the
extreme left New Deal element in action,
while Jones and the RFC stand on the opposite
New Deal pole.
One of Mr. Jones' associates has testified
that neither Wallace nor Perkins go to the
trouble of signing the requisitions any more,
but that these drafts coma from Perkins' as
sistant, Morris Rosenthal, or even from Rosen
thal's assistant.
aaa
Senatorial Inttrest
HE im-advertised Wallace-Perkinsjlosenthal
economic war lately has been subjected to in
juries from the members of the senate banking
committee, the Byrd committee and some
others. No funds for which Wallace has asked
have been held up. Some of the senators had
merely begun asking questions, mostly in ex
ecutive session, as to what Wallace was doing
with all those billions.
This growing interest of the senators appar
ently was attributed by the vice president to
'his ancient adversary, Mr. Jones, whom he
'. suspects of trying to regain control of his
bureau.
Personally, I do not doubt that Mr. Jones
could have primed some senators about the
way Wallace has been running his loose end
of the war, but as far as the public record
shows, there is nothing to prove it. Jones'
' comment before the Byrd committee several
weeks ago was only mildly disapproving.
Furthermore, the latest interest of the Byrd
committee in Wallace was started by Senator
Scrughara, of Nevada, who did not like the
way . Wallace was accumulating stockpiles of
metals all around the world, not because the
materials were needed, but to keep them out
: of the hands of the axis or for diplomatic
favor in such places as Spain, where the price
it reported 'to have been fixed by Spain at a
figure designed to curry the favor of the Span,
ish government. ,
The Wallace-Jones war is likely, therefore,
to be long one, and an indecisive one unless
congress should decide to take the whole
matter out of Mr. Wallace's band and return
It to Mr. Jones, who incidentally did not do so
well at it when be bad it before.
aaa
Nor Press Inspired
NEITHER this nor any of the other recently
raging official controversies was either in
spired or promoted by newspapers, as the presi
dent implied. No newsman asked either Wal
lace or Jones for statement. They volunteered
tbeir views of each other. Likewise, when Sec
retary Ickes, or Under Secretaries Patterson
and Forrestal denounced Rubber Ciar Jeffers
or other government officials in other govern
ment departments, they submitted their an
nouncements in open press conferences.
All have been only too happy to express
themselves tn public even if in violation of the
president's order against public controversies.
A well recognized White House technique of
of long standing seems to require that when
ever the president gets in a tight place publicly,
he tries to push the trouble off upon the news
papers, not on any specific newspaper or col
umnist, but just "the newspapers."
His spot this time is as tight as he bat ever
occupied, but its pin-like circumference was
drawn by the Chester Davis resignation and
the over-riding of his Smith-Connally labor bill
veto by congress, neither of which was ordered
by newspapers or columnists.
The trouble lies so clearly In high admin
istrative confusions and conflicts, it is hardly
necessary for either the newspapers or the col
umnists to defend themselves against a blow
so wide of the mark. .
The War Today
By DeWTTT MacKENZIE
WHILE we are awaiting developments in
the war theaters I have on band an in
triguing question which you might like to try
your hands at answering, and it starts like
this:
"Doesn't Hitler know that he will be beaten
in the long run?"
When that was submitted to me I replied
without hesitation:
"Of course he does. And so does the Ger-
man high command, for they are top-flight
soldiers, and the cards patently are against
them."
"Well, then," persisted my questioner, "why
doesn't Hitler quit now, and save unnecessary
bloodshed and suffering for his country?"
That's not so easy to answer, is it; when
you sit down to figure it out, a lot of different
angles rush to the mind. The first thing that
struck me was that my reply hadn't been com
plete and that therefore I was starting from a
faulty premise.
I should have said that Hitler and his mili
tary experts know they are beatenbarring
some unforeseen development in the nature of
a near miracle. The odda arc vastly against
them, but there's always a possibility that fate
might give them a break. .-And so long as a
whisper of chance remains, just so long will
the bocbs hang on unless frenzy overcomes
morale.
What then is there to encourage . them in
holding out? In answering this it's mighty im
portant for us to remember that any straw is a
life-raft to a drowning man. In brief we may
say that any development which is unfavorable
to the allies is grabbed by the enemy as a
potential means of salvation.
Straws of Hope
JUST as we watch the bocha eagerly to see
what hurts he has sustained, and whether
his morale is breaking, so ha watches us. And
in his despairing condition he is bound to
magnify little straws of hope.
Take this for illustration, yesterday London,
in reporting on that damage dona to the Ger
man industrial city of Dortmund by bombing,
cited among other things that two collieries
had been heavily damaged and probably put
out of production. That's an important item
which will help to beat Hitler.
Two collieries my hat! We get satisfaction
out of that, white at the same time our
domestic news reports record that some 100,000
coal miners still are idle in this country.
Birmingham tells us that this has resulted in
cut of 20 per cent in Alabama steel produc
tion. It's said the reduction will mean a loss
of 2000 ton of war-vital steel every 24 hours.
How much hope do you suppose the axis
extracts from a grave situation like our coal
strike? That's enough to give the shaky morale
of an entire nation a fillip.
Thus do the nazis take fresh courage from
every breakdown in a vital industry in an
allied . country. Strikes, race riots, political
squabbles, and what not in th United Nations
are choice bits to be rolled under the facile
tongue of nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels.
His business is to make big issues out of little
ones and he's pretty smart.
STEEL MILLS PLEDGE

By ROBERT GRUB
PITTSBURGH, July 2 (JP)
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of
the war production board (WPB)
wound up a two-day tour of
Pittsburgh's "Victory Valley"
steel mills today after receiv
ing pledges from labor and
management to help boost steel
production in the next six
months by 2,000,000 tons.
Nelson and other high-ranking
WPB officials launched a
nationwide "steel for victory"
drive by calling upon the in
dustry for a "renewed produc
tion effort going far beyond any
thing we have yet achieved."

quoted in London it is reported
that:
German industry has LOST
the production race essential to
victory (although it it added that
Germany has plenty of fight
left.)
Germanv has nimil har

present fall in steel production,
a sharply narrowing margin of
oil reserves, inability to replace

QERMAN steel production,
these reports say. was at an
annual rate of 25 million tons
in January 1942, but by January
1943 was down to 92.6 of this
total and by May 1943 down fa
89.8.
The normal German and Ital
ian need for oil, it is asserted, is
about 151 million tons per year
in periods of comparative lull
in the fighting, with this total
kiting upwards in periods of
heavy fighting. Germany ,1s
described as now getting about
5 million tons from the Ruman
ian fields and about 6 million
ton from synthetic production,
with a present reserve of about
3 million tons.
That Is to say, TOTAL AN
NUAL NEED in excess of 15 mil
lion tons and present annual
supply (including reserves) of
about 14 million.
These reports, if anywhere
near accurate, are immensely
