OPA DILEMMA: Irresponsible Agents Are Barrier to ictory D UE TO a great deal of pressure by the Detroit Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, Lou B. Maxon, recently appointed head of the pub- lcity department of the OPA, has been forced ioeEign his new post or be fired. The charge against Maxon, made in an open letter by Alan M. Brown, chairman of the Guild's consumer problems committee, is to the effect that he has "vigorously opposed the Govern- ment program of controlling the quality as well as the price of canned goods." In the investi- gation it was revealed that Maxon, head of a large national advertising concern, represents one of the largest canners of food in the United States, and is perfectly agreed with the National Canners' Association, an organization made up of many of the largest canners in the country, which has "consistently fought the use of grade labeling on canned foods." A A SYMBOL of the individual concerned only with his own personal gain, Maxon represents one of the greatest dangers our country and the entire world faces today. After he was appointed to a post that deals directly with public opinion and morale, it is discovered that his own views and interests lie in exactly the opposite direction of those of the Government for whose benefit he is sup- posedly working. It is a generally accepted fact that the war and peace we have to win are to be won only by unselfish cooperation and hard work; but while Maxon and his kind continue to hold important public offices our hands are tied. It is because of just such men that we lost the last peace, and unless we rid our more important positions of them we are more than likely to lose this one. - Jean Athay LET'S WAKE UP! U.S. Trails Britain With Post War Plans AMERICA has yet to assume any definite re- sponsibility for construction of a post-war world. So far our ideas and aims have been voiced but feebly, in contrast to Britain's out- spoken leadership in planning. In three major instances-domestic security, post-war financial stabilization and plans for a world confedera- tion-Britain has far outstripped the United States. The first definite statement of Allied post-war aims was made on March 29 by Winston Chur- chill when he urged world confederation headed by Britain, the United States, and Russia. "There should come into being," he said, "a Council of Europe and a Council of Asia." No American leader has thus far made a proposal so concrete or comprehensive as this one. In reference to the prime minister's speech, Time magazine wrote, "America could' wish that such words might be spoken by an American; they could feel that America's destiny required such a speech, and such a speaker." All that Franklin Roosevelt has given the world so far is the Atlantic Charter, a sound but nebulous document. .To date the clearest statement of American post-war aims has been made by Henry Wallace, who came out for free enterprise. The Ball resolution favoring a United Nations organization to achieve post- DREWt PEARSON' C MERRY.GO-ROUND WASHINGTON, April 14.- The Supply Ser- vices of the Army (Gen. Somevell and Under- Secretary Patterson) have been dove-tailing their work much more harmoniously with the War Production Board. The old feuding be- tween them has subsided, at least for the time being. However, Donald Nelson was shocked and sur- prised to find another branch of the Army lit- erally "on his tail." He noticed that wherever he went, one, and usually two, men followed him. He was being "tailed." Even more amazing, he discovered that the shadowing was being done by a branch of the Army Military Intelligence. In other words, the Army had its young officer detectives fol- lowing the day-to-day and hour-by-hour movements of one of the most important men in the Government-the man who supplies the Army with its war materials. No explanation has been forthcoming from the Army, and Nelson has asked for none. He has become so used to the Army putting burrs in his bed that one more makes no difference. However, there are two possible explanations. Nelson is in therprocess of getting a divorce, and his friends say that the Army wants to watch his social activities. The other is that both Military and Naval Intelligence are over-staffed with bright young ex-brokers, real estate agents, and blue bloods from the best families who simply love to play at the game of detective. Nelson's friends suggest that they are peeking around corners at him just to practice up for spying on Hitler. He replies: "I don't mind their peep-holing, but I thought we were fighting this war to get away from Ges- tapos.", Note: When Washington officials see anyone peeking in their windows, they know it's either Military or Naval Intelligence. J. Edgar Hoov- er's FBI is too smart to pull any amateur detec- tive tricks. Economiczar Jimmy Byrnes, whose office has suffered from lack of press relations, has taken on Walter Brown, South Carolina radio magnate and former crack Washington newsman. Czar Byrnes has some A-1 men in his office-Donald Russell, for instance, whose brain is like a steel trap, and his lips also . more significance than it actually has. It is hardly to be denied that the principles of the NRPB's plan are good, but it lacks concreteness, detail, a statement of actual dollars-and-cents cost. On the other hand, the Beveridge plan has set the cost of social security in hard, un- compromising figures. The latest post-war plan has come from Sec- retary of the Treasury Morgenthau, with his proposal for an international currency stabiliza- tion fund, in the operation of which the United States would have the controlling hand. In answer to the American plan, Lord Keynes, British economist, has proposed a world credit institution which would operate as a bank of nations-a plan more far-reaching and unselfish I'd Rather Be Right By SAMUEL GRAFTON NEW YORK, April 14.- SOME POLITICAL REALITIES: The plain truth is that if President Roosevelt announced right now that he will not run for a fourth term, he would be left without power to fight the war. He might receive a better press, but he would cease to be a major force in the American or world scene. He would become like one of those French presidents, re- spected but inconsequential. This situation is not of his making. It exists, nonetheless. Once he issued th announce- nient, his prestige with his opposite numbers, Churchill, Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek, would drop to a bare five points above zero. He would be unable to engage in any major undertaking with these men looking beyond the end of the next year. Actually, his term of effective office would be even shorter and they would know it. The moment the two candidates were named next summer, Mr. Roosevelt would become a mere interim hold- over, and he would remain so until his term ran out. HIS POWER TO RUN I do not say that this situation is good, or bad; I merely say that it exists. It is a condition of the war, like the weather. What to do about it, I do not know. Neither does Mr. Roosevelt. And so he does, and can do, nothing about it. His power to run is his power to punish interference with the war effort. Without a clear majority in Congress (and, except on paper, he has none) it is almost the last item of political power he has left. He is his own final bogey-man; he uses himself to frighten Congress with. Once he announced he would not run again, Congress might love him more, but it would listen to him less. THE PRESIDENT IS THE PRESIDENT Under the circumstances, he hardly has the right to make the announcement. This is a separate question from that of whether he ac- tually does run again or not. The question is whether the man who shapes our war shall keep himself politically alive or render himself politi- cally dead at this moment. It will be noticed that those Republican newspapers, like the New York Herald Trib- une, which are wholeheartedly for the organi- zation of a more stable world, are in no spe- cial tizzy on the fourth-term issue. They do not want a fourth term. They would much prefer a Republican President with Mr. Roose- velt's ideas on world organization. But they have looked behind the arguments and have seen the naked face of reality. They have stumbled on the curious fact that the President of the United States is really the President of the United States. If he renders himself powerless, then the United States has a powerless President. That is not good for the United States. The opposition would like to separate Mr. R., the President, from Mr. R., the man. He can't oblige. He is stuck with himself. Mr. F. D. Roosevelt is the prisoner of his office. In deal- ing with foreign countries, he does not have the right to destroy his bargaining power, because it is our bargaining power.

We Americans happen to like a system in which we elect officials who are in effect Premiers (i.e., polit- ical leaders) by popular vote, for fixed terms. That makes us the only major country in, the world in which it is possible to have a Premier who is, politically, a lame duck. In every other country, the Premier is a tem- porary official, chosen by the parlia- mentary majority; he has the reality of political power, or he does not remain the Premier.
