Wagner and his Democratic coll ue in the House, John D. Dingell Michigan Proposing a “new, broad concept” in Social Secur- ity, the measure includes provision for putting the United States Employment Service on a permanent basis. What it do with the War Manpower Commission under which the USES now operates? Is that supposed strictly wartime emergency creation which is the ultimate in regimentation thal we have yet reached in this Nation, to be dissclved mnd listed - its mission accom- of does among the honorably retired plished? Ah, no! USES, along with other allied agencies; is the Wagner-Dingell idea and it is not unlike suppese that idea originated in the offices affected an opening gun in a fight to stay on the public payroll and to continue to wield arbitrary powers ov The WMC is to be “taken over” by the at least that that public which government is presumed to serve. | There is no desire, herein, to condemn the entire bill as introduced in Congress. There can be little argument that some of the Social Security extensions it proposes are needed. Others seem worthwhile and are at the very least worthy of careful consideration But—if our rosy dreams are ever to live, we do hope that those provisions of the bill which are designed to perpetuate the deprivation of our freedom and demands on our pockets will speedily fall under a well-wielded axe, Please—let us dream a while longer!

(Washington Post) If, by some miracle, it were possible for the United States and its Allies immediately to throw into the scales against Japan all of the tremendous military | force which, up to VE-Day, had to be divided betweerr | two widely separated theatres, the early doom of Japan | could be taken for granted. Unfortunately, that is out ! of the question. Tremendous logistical obstacles stand | in the way of the redeployment in the Pacific area of the forces that Germany's surrender released from fighting on the European continent. \ It is not simply a matter of moving the men and | materiel from Europe to the Far E: That in itself | will take time even with respect to those troops that | to be moved directly from one theatre to the other.| Still more time will be required in the case of lhc; undetermined number ‘of the troops in Europe who’ are to be given a furlough in the United States before | being transferred to the Pacific. For all of the troops | that sooner or later are to be moved, moreover, a' retraining period will be necessary. There is also the | problem of adding to the existing Allied installations | in the Pacific—docks, warehouses, supply depots, air- fields and so cn—to take care of the expansion in | the forces that will ultimately be needed to fight Japan. Fortunately, the steady progress we have | made in rolling up the Pacific map, especially in | the PHilippines, will enable us to create new facilities where existing facilities are inadequate. For this reason and because a very large part of our Navy is already and for some time has been in the Pacific, the duration of the redeployment period is likely to be horter than was at ong time anticipated. But at} least six months will be needed before we can begin | | throwing against cur surviving enemy anything like the force that resulted in the destruction of German | power. When we do, however, the Japanese will have | an experience they will long remember. ‘A seer says the world will come to an end at 2 | o'clock on the morning of August 4.
