British Demand
That Churchill Act
T HERE IS a growing feeling in that
tight little isle called Britain that
No. 10 Downing St. needs a new occupant,
Wednesday's by-elections in which both Church-
ill supporters went down to defeat are an indi-
cation that the British are not only dissatisfied
with the present cabinet, but are actually ready
to do something about it.
Less and less is the cry heard that Church-
ill's inspirational force is necessary to the
war effort, and more and more are heard
the names of Bevin and Cripps. Their politi-
cal potentialities are not yet fully realized,
but unless the British Lion is on the offen-
sive by fall, a desperate people will have to
take the chance.
There are two principal complaints concern-
ing the Churchill government, and both of them
are so well substantiated as to leave little doubt
concerning their validity.
NUMBER ONE CHARGE is that excess profits
are being made far too frequently and in
far too great amounts by manufacturers not
alone of munitions, but of luxury goods. Such
enormous profits are being made that Britishers
gasped in amazement at FDR's recommendation
that our maximum income be cut as low as
$25,000 for the duration. A labor government
was on its way in when war broke out, and the
sentiment which was bringing labor to the fore
will not long stand idly by when such profits
are being made.
The second, and if possible, more important
charge concerns the directing of Britain's war
effort. Lord Beaverbrook last week voiced the
hopeful feelings of millions of British and colo-
nial peoples when he asked for a second front.
The English are getting terribly impatient as
they suffer setback after setback, and RAF
raids are not enough to satisfy their desire for
a conclusive victory in some war theatre. Bea-
verbrook, a man who should be in a position to
know, has told them a second front is both pos-
sible and plausible. Nothing else will suit them.
Churchill, one of the Empire's greatest cohe-
sive powers during the last two years, is no
longer functioning as well in that capacity. He
seems to have acquired a defense-complex, one
that permits none of the daring gambles of 1916.
Unfortunately, Britain's present situation calls
for some first-class chance-taking, and Church-
ill is evidently not the man.
Unless the Allies' third best bet, John Bull,
wins a race this summer there'll be a new jockey
up in the fall.-- Hale Champion
WASHINGTON-Inside intelligence informa-
tion is that Japanese propaganda agents are
now marshalling their forces for a concerted
attack against the United States in Latin Amer-
ica, with Argentina, Brazil and Chile as focal
points.
Japan will resort to a number of typical Axis
methods to sway neutral countries away from
collaboration with the United States, including
the Axis-worn tactics of making overtures and
giving assurances that she has no imperialistic
aims toward these countries. On the other hand,
the Japanese will emphasize that the United
States has been greedy in her international trade
relations and has imperialistic designs on Cen-
tral and South America.
In launching this propaganda attack Japan
has instructed her agents to do everything pos-
sible to solicit the good-will of Spanish and
Portuiguese representatives in Latin American
countries.
In addition to propaganda agents and diplo-
matic representatives, Japan has recruited
agents in commercial firms throughout both
Europe and the American countries to propa-
gandize persons of Latin culture and Catholic
faith. In this connection, plans have been made
to go even so far as to try to exploit His High-
ness, The Pope.
Already $50,000 has been forwarded to Japa-
nese representatives in Chile to be used in at-
tempting to bribe government officials.
One of the most audacious phases of the
Japanese plan is the one that calls for an at-
tempt to induce a revolution in the United States
by cooperation with factional groups within the
country, and creating dissension among the
people by sniping at the Roosevelt Administra-
tion.
Republican Harmony .
Except for a brief, isolationist flare-up against
Wendell Willkie's resolution pledging full sup-
port to Roosevelt's war policies, the Chicago
meeting of the Republican National Committee
was completely harmonious.
This was due chiefly to skillful GOP Chairman
Joe Martin, who not only engineered adoption
of thte Willkie proposal, but placated a Willkie-
hating bloc of Midwestern committeemen who
were itching for a showdown brawl. Also, Mar-
tin put his foot down firmly on any talk about
1944 presidential candidates, which was another
friction-maker.
However, there was one minor slip-up which
had Martin in hot water for a few moments.
According to custom, the chairman-to-be of
various committees offer the resolutions for
creation of the committees. John E. Jackson,
national committeeman from Louisiana, wad
slated to head up the committee on proxies, but
Martin forgot to notify him,
When it came time to appoint this committee,
Martin declared: "The chair recognizes the gen-
tleman from Lodisiana, Mr. Jackson."
Jackson, a prominent New Orleans attorney,
rose and stammered:
"But I don't wish to be recognized, Mr. Chair-
man. I have nothing to say."
During the roar which followed, quick-thinking
Martin recovered with this clever piece of par-
liamentarism:
"The gentleman from Louisiana moves that
a committee on proxies be appointed , . . . I hear
no objections . .. It is so ordered,"
Unfortunately it looks as if the little business
man now has no better chance for government
loans than during the days before Jesse Jones
was stripped of sole control over little business
financing,
Under the President's executive order de-
throning Jones, the Army and Navy were given
authority to grant loans to subcontractors for
war work. That is, they were empowered to ex-
tend loans, in the form of advance payments, up
to 100 percent of the needs of the little business
man.
But neither the Army or Navy is using this
authority. Both are resorting to the same banker
practices for which Jones was condemned.
Instead of using their authority to cut red-
tape and make direct loans, this is what has
happened: The Army and Navy have laid down
rules that compel little business men to seek the
credit they need from commercial banks. For
this money they will pay from 1/2 to 3 percent
interest--on loans guaranteed up to 90 percent
by the government,
The Reply Chur ish'
by TOUCHSTONE
AS the days grow longer and hotter, and sen-
iors do less and less work, there comes a
feeling that certain last words are called for, and
I think that from now until I am through on
this job, I shall tell you my life story. I envy
you the experience you are going to have dur-
ing these palmy days, reading about me. In
order that we shall not have to cast too far
backwards in time, I shall begin this interesting
story at the time when I entered college, and
stop it where it logically must stop anyhow, ie,
when I end the final column. If anything inter-
esting comes up during the days ahead, I'll
write about it, but at a risk of offending the
intense Slosson, and bringing down his fervent,
vital wrath upon my head, I can say that I don'I.
expect to digress.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO I was a freshman.
Certain of my friends, who are rife, are given .
to setting the date of my entry into the Univer-
sity rather earlier than it was. Suffice it to say
that on the best Moscow precedent, I adopted a
five-year plan of education, considering the
usual four-year period not quite adequate to the
full cultivation of my mind.
AS A FRESHMAN I was rather lonesome. I
suppose all freshmen are, unless they are
girls and pretty. I lived in a rooming house
which had not seemed quite so far from campus
when I drove down to it in a car early in the
summer before I entered upon my vivid career
here. I wrote informal essays for a special Eng-
lish class, and came prematurely to regard my-
self as a talented and sensitive creature, approx-
imating a cross between Alexander Woollcott (I
can still spell his name correctly) and Christo-
pher Morley. I was not a dormitory freshman,
but somehow I became involved in a very minor
way in class politics. A fraternity pledge brother
of mine,who never did become sufficiently eligi-
ble to take the office, was elected president of
the freshman class, and I coasted into whatever
class politics were, on his coat tails. But even
so, I did not know many people.
SPENT much of my time in my room, reading
books, which is a habit time has taken care
of. At first I studied timidly, and failed to make
Phi Eta Sigma. Later on, as I wrote more and
more, and became more and more sensitive, and
more like Alex and Chris as I called them, my
studies suffered. Finally in the second semester
I was dropped with E from a botany course for
overcutting and various other sins such as not
knowing how the fibrovascular bundles worked,
or" where the cortex went. I was never a good
science student, and microscopes worked for me
in the same way James Thurber says they
worked for him. I have never been fond of that
botany teacher, for purely personal reasons, but
I have given up the idea which I carried for a
long time, of socking him on the snoot when I
graduate. He may rest easy now, if his conscience
will allow it'. It was the first course I had
flunked in school, and I took it rather hard, and
after all these years I still do.
AT THE END OF THE YEAR I was still lone-
A
some, but not so much, because I had started
to work on the Daily and was becoming known
as a writer of informal essays. I had been in
Black Friday, seen the football riots of '37, and
though much of my confidence was gone, and I
was afraid of the University, I had my fraternity
pin to wear, and next year was another year.
Continued in the next issue. So long until soon.

F you live in a rooming house don't let your
landlady lord over you about high-priced
contracts for the summer semester--if you're
going to be here.
* * *
If she starts talking to you about "some
bomber plant people" who have offered her
$8 a week for your $5 room, kindly remind
her that an OPA ruling of a day or so ago
has cut rents down to the April 1, 1941, level.

Landladies will be on an honor system to
maintain the prescribed rent rates until July 1
when Federal inspectors will make a spot check-
up. Henderson says that "chiselers" who don't
pare down to the new ceiling are subject to a
$5,000 fine or a year in prison, or both.

This may even mean a cut in your rent, but
watch out for that "utilities" gag.

Inseci Powder, Not Dyllailile
EVERY NOW AND THEN, when the asininity
of Representative Clare Hoffman of Michi-
gan falls to a new low, we are tempted to let
loose with both barrels. But by the time we get
the powder horn out and test the flint to deter-
mine whether it is sparking, we think of the
remark made by the venerable Carter Glass
years ago.
"Why waste dynanite, when inse(t pow-
der will do just as well."
Mr. Hoffman, who has achieved an almost
unequaled mastery of the art of compressing
the smallest possible amount of thought into
the largest possible number of words, is more
of a nuisance than a danger.
Teddy Roosevelt was wont to speak frequently
