General Giraud, being in command in rth Africa, is put in the position of hav- img to sacrifice some of his officials and to ke greater concessions in the effort to s¢ture unity. Moreover, the unity that is ugderway seems to be more apparent than ry 1. Getteral De Gaulle’s insistence upon ak eoncessions to offset his rival’s pow- eFindicates an intention to effect a balance ofepower’ rather than a merger of spirit. There seems to exist some fear that General De Gaulle’s Fighting French or- ganization might attempt to absorb the N@rth African group and thus be in a posi- tigh to regiment or expel officials and mili- tagy leaders who serve under General Gi- raud. Moreover, fighting France in London \ has maintained a propaganda policy, in fe- lation to Occupied France, of indiscrimi- nately eondemning as enemies all French- mén who were friends and associates of | Mfrshal Petain since the fall of France. ” CHINESE BEAT JAPANESE THREAT onth ago, the Japanese: in- h at Tungting Lake, appar- pto knock the Chinése)_ out of.ghe wareby capturing Chungking: Reports from China were pessimistic. We were warned that the limit of Chinese resistance had been reached and that there was danger of a collapse. China, it was poiited out, could not hold out against Ja- pan forever. ‘« So what? The Chinese are celebrating oné_of their greatest victories of the war, moving forward over a great front, envelop- | ingy Japanese troops and annihilating a considerable number of the enemy. ~ The military picture in China is sud- deny reversed and the Japanese, instead of endangering Chungking, the capital, have bed6me the victims of aneat/Chinese man- a About a. augurated @ oeuvre, conceived and executed.on a large | a * publicity is the best corrective in the adriijnistration of publie attairs e “You had better not lie if you haven’t a good memory, and if you are not smart you-had better be honest. —_____ “The dangers of inflation are seldom | dirétt enough to cause an_ individual to forego what looks like more income.

France is yond Hitler’s reach would brush aside every tablishment of the independence of France. But what has happened, and‘is still happening, between Generals Giraud and for their country’s sake, they have settled their political differences, but up pops something that sets them at daggers’ points again. Gaulle acted like a couple of sulky boys. A luncheon was given with the object of bring- that it would be the means that would lead to the settlement of their clashing political views, which should be buried as purely sel- fe motives because of the prostrate condi- tion of their’ country, but Giraud and De the! luncheon. !

And look at Washington today! There is even frequent talk there about a “fourth term”, and virtually every member of con- gress who must run for re-nomination or re-election next year is busy mending fences back home. Almost every day towns ‘throughout the country are visited by con- gressmen, who would not have been seen for political purposes. So from Washington we step into Key | West, and what do we find? The same po- | litical thunder that throughout the world. Politics has made countries since the time of the dawn man, and presumably politics will continue to do | the same thing. Sometimes there are vicious outcroppings of politics, as in the cases of Naziism and Fascism, and always such types of politics have ruined countries, as even- tually Germany and Italy will be reduced to impotency.

THE FORD FORTUNE It appears that Edsel Ford, president | of the Ford Motor Company, bequeathed the major part of his estate to the Ford | Foundation, which will use most of an esti- | mated $200,000,000 for ‘scientific, educa- | tional and charitable purposes.” | Mr. Ford's will illustrates the com- mendable generosity of many rich Amer- ieans, who after amassing huge fortunes, | give them to the public after their death. The Ford fortune, it should be point- | | ed out, was earned in a highly competitive field, without the benefit of monopoly or | legislative favors.
