COMPLACEN CY:
F~dseWair Optimism
Will.!Prolong.Struggle
lT. LEO F. MvcLEAN, while speaking at the
nond Rally in Rackhamn Auditorium, Friday,
w~arned against too much. optimism and said,
"one thing that should not creep into the Minds
of those at home is the idea that-the war is won.",
iRe hit a ,point which should be emphars~ed at
this timne.
Eve~n ltfore rveside.t Roosevg#!sa uounce-
ment that partial demobilzation would be ex-
pected as soon as Germany is defeated, which
is Predicted by Gen. Eisenylower for some time
In tbe next year, the pmrevailing tlwpught of the
average American has been rapidly approach-
Imng .a complacent ;belief that relaxation of ef-
fort is in ordjer because the war is practi aly
won.
This attitude, should it become widespread,
would constitute a direct threat to the successful
prosecuttion of ,the war. Confidence and. hope: re
good for a fighting people but too much un-
founded optimism can be a .decided detriment.
The course of the war definitely seems to be
godn our way at the .Present moment. but
there is a long, costly, drawn-out struggle
ahead of us in Europe .and in the Pacific which
is going to tax to the utmost limit the powers
and resources of our nation and all Its -people.
So this is no time to let up, to sit back and
thinky that the war is as well as won, This is a
time for hard work and hard fighting and ,it is
th~e responsibility of every American to do this
to the best of his ability.
--Evelyn Phillips

NEW "YORK, Jan. 18.-We are going through
a kind of political comedy of manners in the big
national service act debate
First, we have Messrs.l ni ay and (hreen
labor's leaders, opposing national service Well
they almost have to, They are not exactly free
men. There is great support for the wear and
for Mr. Roosevelt in the ranks of labor, but
there is also great bitterness against wage
ceilings.
Labor's leaders are therefore compelled to
dance a kind of stately minuet, in which they a]-°
ternately approach Mr. Roosevelt with a tender
smile, and then back away from himi in horror.
FORWARD AND BACKWARD
To support Mr. Roosevelt on the prosecution
of the war is good stuff in labor poltics; to seem
to yield to him on necessary controls is bad
stuff. Our labor movement is sufficiently demo-
cratic (in spite of Mr. Pegler) so that its leaders
are not free to do whatever they please; they
vibrate as a result of these pressures from below.
Hence they are forced in to seeming con tradic-
tions, of which a characteristic pair is labor's
issuance of its no-strike pledge, and yet also its
firm refusal to countenance national service.
Contrariwise, we have certain Congressmen
and certain isolationist publishers, who are
enthusiastic supporters of labor control eas-
ures, though they don't seem to care. so much
for certain other aspects of the war. These
dance the same dance as do the labor leaders
in reverse. When Mr. Roosevelt claps a Little
Steel Formula on wages, they definitely warm
up to the President; the suspicion of a grateful
smile may sometimes eveny e see on their lips
They come a little closer, tentatively.
Then, of course, he wants lower food prices,
or higher taxes, or he goes to Teheran, or plans
a big offensive, and they run away again, shriek-
ing in horror.
ANDl LIFE STOPS
Our labor leaders suspect that a national serv-
ice act will merely make it easier for reaction-
aries to kill all labor freedom. Our worst reac-
tionaries (and sometimes one has the feeling that
the name is almost interchangeable with isola-
tionist) are afraid that a national service act
will make it easier to control Jobs, incomes, non-
essential businesses, etc., and in other ways to
subject American life to the necessities of war.
At this point the dance stos; broth sides,
labor and its opponents, come to a cataleptic
pause; they stand, frozen in their own wrest-
ling match, as one In their opposton to na-
tional service. It 3.s as if they had been strek-
en by a paralysis of fear; 'they are uniable to
move; they are chilled by the eye of the cock,-
trice.
President Roosevelt has mentioned national
service, and life has stopped in both camps. Youi
pain hear a pin drop.
BUT NOT IN WRITING~
Both sides are for national unity, but they
don't want it put in writing. And in their oppo-
sition to the kind of national unity which can
only be expressed through national service, they
[ave found~ another kind of unity; see, they .are
together, in blocking the President's plan for
IMPOSS IBLE.
Punishing of WT"ar Guilty
Is Primitive Revenge
LORD VANSITTART, former British uder-
secretary of state for foreign affairs recently
presented his views on war guilt: "I say that the
killers must be killed ..."
Bath moral and practical issues are involved.
in the punishment -of "war criminals." Lord
Vansittart finds moral justification in saying
that we must feel "not only with but as the
victims."
This is just another way of saying "an ee
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." It is
revenge and nothing more. We can feel for
the victims; the record of atrocities and i-
juctices is great. But murder and pillage and
cruelty can never le stopped by more mnurder
and pillage and cruelty.
The Allied nations, if the plans for punish-
ment of "war criminals" are carried through

will be degrading their moral standards to the
same level as those. of Nazism. T here would not
be justice, but vengeance.
L ORD VANSITART warns that "the joint Al-
lied list will run into scores of thousands."
He does not say what kind of organization could
be set up for the fair judgment and punishutent
of " scores of thousands."
liven if the machinery could be devised, there
are other problems equally difficult. .Are the
German people guilty as well as their leaders'?
Is a soldier acting under Orders committing a
crime? Should the punishment be death? What
standards of judgment shall be used?
These are questions for which no logitcal
answer can be :found.
The difficulty of setting up adequate mach-
inery' and the fact that any punishment of "war
criminals" is fundamentally the most primitive
kind of reven~ge both mia ke any such project
entirely impossible.

IT ISN'T hard for uas to write this cohxunn. But
perhaps it will be herd for some of you to
read it, knowing how it relates to your everyday
actions.
We're qiuotinig trroughoit iron an artile in
the "Infantry ,ourn a," Agust, 194: -"Psychol-
ogy for the Fghtin'; Man: Differences among
Races and People" ft is one of the nest dis-
cussions of the question we have ever .seen. In
logical fashion it begins: "There are only three
possible kinds of differences between peoples of
different nations.
"1. There are irative physical differences,
which, being conspicuous, attract attention
first ..*. None of these differences is, however,
without exception. The races in the course of
history have gotten themselves all mixed tip
Many Nrwegians are riot blond. A Ja is more
likely than a Chinese to have wavy [lair, a
beard and short legs, but a sentry had bette-
not try to decide between them ,ust by their
looks.
"2. Well, there might be native psycological
differences between races, Many people think
that some races are less intelligent than~ others:
they mention that in the first World War the
southern Europeans did much worse th.an north-
ern Europeans and Amnerians on the JS. Army
intelligence tests, but that was because they were
poor immigrants who hadn't had much school-
ing. There were and are plenty of bright Span-
iards, Greeks arnd Italians.
"Livery tin;,e a , sycholog st bas set out to
study inherited racial differences il intelli-
gence he had] not ;found that any existed, and
there have been many long Ad thorough
studies of this kind nmade. The racial differ-
ences turn out to deend on the educational
advantages of the group'tested . ' Differ-
ences betweeni individuals in any nation are so
very great that any differences that might
exist between nations become so small by comn
psarison that you. cannot find them.
113. What, really matters in this war ae the
learned traits, habits o thought, n)ational cu-
toms. . .. A Moslem takes off his shoes and keeps
on his hat when he enters a church. You take
off your hat, but keep on your shoes. Both of
you are expressing reverence; his act is more
cleanly, yours is only a symbol of deference.
"THE REASON for race prejudice can be traced
back to a need for security. One feels most
secure among people one knows . .. Color of
skin is often the basis for prejudice b)ecuse it
so clearly ista badge of difference etween
peoples.
"hometinlc&sthe Prejuice fgaiisithe thgoc~i
flrsup in the Armiiy. It is riot a problem, hlo-
ever, in a camp where it is well understood that
at soldier in United States uniform is a soldier,
not a white or Negro, Christian or Jlew, rich nran
or poor, but a soldier and as such is worthy of
respect ,. . Not everyone feels race prejuidice.
There are plenty of white men who are on-
stauntly meeting and working with black, brown,
and _yellow men of education, culture, brains and
ability. These white mnet know that skin color
is not aL sign of inferiority or superiority, and
they tend to forget about it, or to consider it
unimportant . .. fit this country we are rare
used to seeing larme numbers of men with dark
skins who are uneducated. ..low the American
soldier is going among people who do riot share
his ?irejudices, among white inen who may not
unestand his antagonismn toward oth r Aiieri -
cans or our Aillies beause of tei' color.
'The soldier who is going to rep esent Aeri-
ca fairly and wisely among the people of North
Africa or China or the South Pacific should

think these matters over, anid remnember th at
skin color in itself means noathing about the in-=
telligence, wisdom, lhonesty, bravery, or kindli-
ness of :man. if he studies care fu~lly the people
of other races whome mteets, he 'canl satisfy
himself that this is true,"
S- ~hs in Sudete da4
After the Mucih Pact the Czechs were ex-
pelled from the frontier districts wrested, by Hit-
ler from Czechoslovakia. Yet today, as admitted
by the Reichenberger Press Service, more Czechs
are employed in this so-called Sudetanland than
ever lived there before 1938$tinder the Czechoslo-
vakian regime. They were sent there to do forced
labor in. order to replace tihe skilled Germans
workers, who were tran sferred to the Reich dur-
ing the fir°st years of the war and not allowed to

It is still not too late to save the federal soldier

The Daily asks that every University stadent
