T WARMING UP After a long truce imposed by war, polities in Europe is warming up with a speed that indicates there is no lessening in party fealty during the years when Mars teok over. An intensive campaign is shap- ing up in England for the election in July, when the administration of Prime Minister Churchill will be the issue. Representatives of beth the Congervative and Labor parties have jumped into the contest with a whoop, forecasting a campaign which will be lively and acrimonious to the end. Churchill launched the campaigy for the Conservatives in a speech which all but took the opposition apart. He paid his re- epects to socialism, an ideology to which the Labor crowd subscribes. He reminded his listeners the war against Japan has not yet been won, and declared England has @ task that is more important than to help to deteat the last remaining members of the axis. The Labor crowd in England is as luke- “warm te the war against Japan as are the Communists in the United States, or as were the Communists in France early in the war when Stalin had a pact with Hitler. The Labor press is vehement in de- ‘nouncing the Conservatives, which it sees verring away from wartime controls. The real contest will be between the Labor and ‘Conservative parties, which have a major share of voting strength. There is a note ‘ef desperation in the Labor campaign, whieh indicates the left-wingers fear party tines will be forgotten on election day, how- ever bitter the campaign may be, to the end that Churchill's government will be in- ‘dorsed. Victory for Churchill will be a major setback for communism in Europe. TWO-THIRDS AMERICAN. ,, < ; Of the 91 divisions in the Allied Expe- Mitionary Forces, operating in Western Eu- Fope, 60 were American, 14 British, five Panadian, seven French and one Polish. : These figures reveal that American Jroops made up almost two-thirds of the wrmy which tumbled the Nazis. Similar figures for the aerial forces engaged are wot available, and it is not yet possible to seve the naval contribution made by the various powers, it was entirely logical that an Ameri- pen officer should have supreme command of this foree. In the selection of General Bisenhower, the United States presented the world with a general whose capacity, as # military leader and a diplomat, is not yet thoroughly appreciated, even in his own Pountr y ey Love is a great life, if you don’t wake up Advertising doesn't work miracles; it won't sell poor goods or please a customer who has been defrauded.

The outlooks ofthe people in,north and south Florida are altogether different. In the north the slow-gving inhabitants, with exceptions, of course, are content to go along as grandfather used to go, where- as in south Florida the residents, with ex- ceptions again, are up-and-doing and en- terprising. However, we should not go too far in making the comparisons, as some of them may be odious, as, for instance, that north Florida is the land of cornpone, sow belly and turnip greens, yet, putting aside all such talk, it would be a blassing if south Florida attained the entity of statehood. The Crackers, in the porthern part of the state, seldom let a chance pass to “rub it” into the residents of the southerly part. With the whiphand in the senate, the 23 senators from the north, representing only two-fifths of the state’s population, seem to bésdetermined to hold on to their ma- jority, regardless of their action’s conflict- ing with provisions in the constitution. What matters it to them that only 15 senators represent three-fifths of the population that pays 64 percent of the state’s taxes? ;Are the north Plorida senators con- cerned in fairness and justice? Do they be- lieve conscientiously that their constitu- ency, comprising two-fifths of the popula- tion, should have seven more senators than the people in the south with three-fifths of the population? If they don’t believe that, they should insist in giving the people of the south what is really theirs. If they do believe it, then their philoso- phy smacks of cornpone, sow belly and tur- nip greens. . There are “fists” in pacifists, yet they are too timid to use them. Labor unions often make serious mis- takes; in this respect they are exactly like the big shot executives.

But they fail to ex- plain how France and all these other coun- tries are going to be able to buy billions of dollars’ worth of machinery from the Unit- ed States. Our government is determined to fi- nance a world bank and take care of all the wants and cure the sufferings of our brave partners overseas. Besides putting up the money Congress is inclined to accept every feature of the tradé-treaty schemes fathered by Cordell Hull. A casual study of the Hull plan shows that it is mostly a transfer of authority, which simply means that Congress will turn over the entire job to the State Department. ** , When you figure it all out, the tariff question is the loosest guessing game on the international horizon. So we’ll have to wait a few more years to find out more about the trouble in foreign trade. Too many people insist on making their conscience your guide. ——EE—— Those who would seek the truth must first establish an unbiased mind and divest it of ‘personal interests.

Conklin, former lieutenant- colonel in the Army, is fighting the pro- | poked compulsory military training of the | youth of this country in time of peace, but | he performs no national service by telling a congressional committee that it “can only mean preparation for war with Russia.” There should be general agreement with the comment of Secretary of War | Henry L. Stimson that he could quite ‘“‘con- ceive that any officer of the United States Army would be so deficient in judgment” as-to say we wanted to fight Russia.
