NO PROBLEM SOON At present, ficial, large sections of the American people seem to have no idea of the gravity of the situation concern- | ing the war, and the great problem is to keep them on their toes. In other words, the American people are leaving the game in the seventh inning, just because their side seems to be ahead One of the means of combatting this attitude is the release of the official Marine Corps film of the bloody battle of Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands. This picture was made by Marine Corps cameramen, two of whom were killed in the filming, and from all indications the movie is capable of routing even the worst cause of complacency However, says this official, the American people are going to get such a jolt when the real invasion of Europe starts soon that no arguments will be needed on the home front other than casualty lists. He predicts that the invasion will bring terrific casualties —perhaps three times as many as the United States has suffered so far. The people who are running this war for the United Nations know that a bombing offensive alone will net bring about a collapse in Germany and they Nashinglos Merry- Go-Round (Contnuea iiom Page One) The Treasury ibscribed vorth 282.16," MISS PATE! the Roosevelt Administration.

And big business long ago discover- ed that, if it wanted a tax job done in Washington, the Alvord firm could do it One of Alvord's biggest tax cases began shortly after he got out from . under .

Eleanor Patenotre following the $10,500,000 sale of the Philadel- phia Inquirer to the late Moe An- nenberg. Alvord filed for rs. Patenotre an income tax return| showing a net income of only $28,- 232.16. Yet the Treasury now claims that Mrs. Patenotre received a total net profit of $8,696.151 from the sale of the Philadelphia Inquirer. This profit was estimated after fig- uring deductions and expenses from the $10,500,000 sale. Though the transaction occurred thirteen years ago, the Treasury bumped into this situation only al short time ago. According to U. S. Tax Court records, here is the rea- son why. | 17.

And that's where the American casualties will come in In a few weeks the Fourth War Loan Drive will start throughout the Nation and Alaska -the theme being to raise the funds to finance the invasion, to back the invasion. The quota js slightly less than that of the last drive, but the importance of going over the top is even greater According to all indications, United Nations are ahead in the grim game of war—but it's only the seventh inning. Many a game has been won in the ninth, after the fans have walked out the Shadows in a Market Place (New York Times) Three Germans and a Russian dangling from gal- lows in the market square at Kharkov have the grim | distinction to be the first persons publicly convicted and executed as war criminals. Fifty thousand people looked on and motion picture cameras recorded the | scene for millions of other spectators and persorn | for posterity. Maybe a shiver will run through the ranks of the Nazis and the Quislings when the facts are known. Maybe there will be members of the Gestapo, in Poland and elsewhere, whose hard shell of inhuman toughness will crack a little. We can hardly judge the Russian trials at this distance, with their procedure so different from the Anglo-Saxcn variety and their almost eager con- sions. They do not solve the prolflem which all the United Nations will sooner or later have to face. We have promised in the Moscow Declaration to send a | numerous category of men charged with war crimes back to the countries and communities where their offenses were committed. Such men will then pass | from a general to a specific jurisdiction. We will want to be sure, for practical as well as moral reasons, | that the procedure against them is regular, that convineing and reliable evidence is produced, and that they have a chance to speak in their defense. To take these precautions is not in the least to minimize the enormity of the crimes the Nazis have committed all over occupied Europe. It is simply o be sure that we get the real criminals. The execu- | | tion of any man whose guilt is not clearly established | would make that man a martyr. It may be difficult now to imagine any large section of the German people | | as possessing a sense of justice. Yet in the end they, too, must come to see that the killing of host- ages, the murders, slow or swift, committed in intern- ment camps, the horrors of the lethal chamber, the almost inconceivable savagery which not only wiped out the innocent people of Ludice but boasted of it, were not merely crimes against all humanity—even German humanity. They will see this sooner and with better effect on the peace of the world if eve offender, from private to general, from slinking spy to arrogant Gestapo official, has his day in court.. As for the supreme offenders, whose cases are reserved for special treatment, the exact form of trial is less important. These masters of evil have not concealed their vileness .indeed they have made a secular religion of it. In their blind and stupid |arrogance they have been confessing every day for the past decade. runs close to $4,000,000. This was the first big tax job Ellsworth Alvord handled when he got out of the Treasury in 1930. More about the jobs he has done for big business will follow later.
