AXIS MORALE U CRACKINO Military reports that have leaked out ef Germany in the past two or three weeks indicate quite definitely that Nazi morale is cracking. These reports, through channels which cannot can-not be revealed, were quite definite even before Propaganda Minister Goebbels delivered his give-away speech warning that saboteurs on the home front would bo beheaded. Reports also sre definite that the German army no longer has the reserves, re-serves, no longer has the fighting backbone for a long war. Resentment Resent-ment against Hitler boils beneath the surface in the German army. German soldiers will keep on fighting, fight-ing, and are toughly trained, desperately des-perately hitting adversaries. But their heart isn't in it anymore. All these factors, plus powerful wallops by the Allies, have created an atmosphere in which anything might happen. It is an atmosphere not unlike that which existed in the autumn of IBIS. There are those in high places who think the war in Europe might be over anytime this winter, depending entirely on Nazi morale. But in Asia the war is moving at a snail's pace. In Burma, though the rains are already over, nothing has happened. Many observers think that nothing will happen until late i this winter, and that the real drive j through Burma toward South China , will be reserved for a year from now the fall of 1S44. ' WILL ROGERS IN LONDON Congressman Will Rogers of California, Cali-fornia, son of the cowboy humorist came back from London singing the praises of American-British co-operation in England. American troops, which he described de-scribed as the new "Army of Occupation," Occu-pation," live off the fat of the land and are treated royally by the British. Brit-ish. There is nothing too good for them. Only trouble is they occasionally occa-sionally take a girl away from a British Tommy. Will's father was a frequent visiter vis-iter In London, and everyone remembered re-membered him. So it was like old home week for the young congressman congress-man from California. BRITISH IDLE OIL Maine's eagle-eyed Senator Brewster Brew-ster met Gen. B. B. Somervell, chief of the army's service forces on the Pacific island of Fiji, immediately tackled him on the dynamite-laden, all-Important question of why the U.S.A. was supplying nearly 70 per cent of all Allied oil, though we have only 25 per cent of the world's oil reserves. "Right around the Persian Gulf," reminded Senator Brewster, "the BriUsh have oil refineries and limitless limit-less quantities of oiL Why don't we get more oil out of the Near East Instead In-stead of hauling It all the way from Texas?" "We are rushing refining equipment equip-ment to Arabia as quickly as wt can," replied General SomervelL "Yes." countered the senator from Maine, "but why use precious shipping ship-ping space carting refining equipment equip-ment half way around the world when the British already have a refinery re-finery at the Gulf of Persia. The manager of the Anglo-Persian oil company told us that his refinery could produce 60 per cent more oil. Why not put it to work Instead of exhausting ex-hausting our own oil reserves? "Furthermore," Brewster continued, contin-ued, "the crude oil from Persian wells Is so good that it can be pumped right into ships. as bunker oil without refining. If we don't get busy and use it, we'll wake up after the war to find the United States with no oil left, and dependent on the British Empire." CABOOSE SLEEPERS Cornfed Senator Ed Johnson of Colorado got his start as a railroad telegrapher, still proudly carries a union card. So he was well qualified to preside over the War Mobilization committee when A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Rail-road Trainmen, testified on manpower manpow-er and other railroad problems. Whitney objected to the policy of some railroads in refusing to let train crews sleep In idle cabooses. Trainmen away from home frequently frequent-ly can't get hotel accommodations, but railroad officials argue that It la unsanitary and also dangerous for them te sleep In "cabs," which sometimes have to be switched. . "When I was a working trainman, we always lived in our cabooses." Whitney said, "not because rooms were not available at hotels but because It was more convenient" "Many'a the time I have slept in cabooses myself," reminisced Johnson. John-son.

AMERICA'S PLACE IN POSTWAR WORLD Straight from the front comes evidence evi-dence now which will prick more bubbles of American wistful vista-lng vista-lng on the war and postwar world. This time, it is In a new book. "Report "Re-port on North Africa," by Kenneth O. Crawford, a sincere, superior re porter. The troops in the field are encountering encoun-tering minor experiences with the British, French. Arabs, Italians, and others, which will make them even more Isolationist this time than before, be-fore, Crawford thinks. They will look upon "only Americans Amer-icans as good people, and only America as a good country, and only complete Isolation from the rest of the world as s good national policy," he writes. He does not want this. but he is a good enough reporter to recount faithfully the facts he found. Crawford wflrns America to steel Itself again for the reaction experienced experi-enced after the last war when we became be-came Uncle Shylock to the world. "It will be the same again." he says. The British Tommy Is inclined to think we came in a bit late, and .he has done most of the fighting. The French are thankful for another chance of national existence, but ap parently are politically dismembered and confused. The American soldier looks upon the war, he says, as "an unpleasant Job to be got over with, and to quarrel quar-rel about for years to come about the question of whether we were suckers or really had to do it. But the British Tommy thinks only of Dunkirk and is fighting for his homeland." home-land." The evidence of this discerning reporter re-porter substantiates again In Its broad aspects the reports of the five senators from the far Pacific. It calls again for development ef more American self-interest ta dealing deal-ing with allies and more realism In both war and postwar preparations. It completes the picture, the new undeniable, realistic picture which supplants the grandiose notions drawn for as by propagandising lead ers In the early stages ef the war. Mr. Crawford is no propagandist, He was sent abroad by the leftist- winged of all American newspapers, opposed to state department policy, pro internationalist, etc. What Mr, Crawford found at the front was so irrefutably opposite that he resigned his position with that newspaper and now is associate editor of Newsweek (no propagandist sheet either). HOW HOME FRONT REACHED CONFUSION STAGE How we got Into a confused condl tlon on "the home front" Is shewn In another new book by that name, written by the New York public rela tions genius extraordinary, David Hlnshaw. Books have been raining out ef the skies for months, mostly bearing panaceas for postwar or reciting re-citing exciting Individual adventures. adven-tures. What this war needs is some good straight reporting and straight thinking, think-ing, and it seems to me that what the liberal Mr. Crawford has done with North Africa, the conservative conserv-ative Mr. Hinshaw has done at home. From journals, speeches, announcements, announce-ments, and actions, Hinshaw has accumulated ac-cumulated a disillusioning record. His main point Is that the Henderson Hender-son era was foonded on distrust of the government for the common sense and Integrity ef the people and bis testimony calls for a renewal renew-al of democratic faith. AMERICAN SELF-INTEREST The theme of a postwar peace based on American self-interest and neighborly negotiation without too much trust in Utopian formulas Is developing fast. Another globe-trotter. President Johnston of the United States Chamber of Commerce, has returned with a speech advocating just such a course. Mr. Johnston wsnts recognition of "our immense stake In law and order, or-der, in decency and prosperity all over the planet" but not on the basis of disarming alliances, or tailor-made tailor-made plans for new world orders. He says a strong, prosperous, self-reliant self-reliant America can serve as a mighty bulwark of world peace and progress and he could have said the mightiest. The plan which would be adopted he rightly predicts will come slowly, painfully, and on a basis of evolution in collaboration among the nations. My own guess is the main inspiration inspira-tion of such an evolution will be a gigantic Hull trade program. CONGRESS AND THE MILITARY Senate defeat of the Wheeler Draft Fathers Exclusion bill was due to circumstances foreseen. Neither house dare stand firmly against the military leaders on a point of military mili-tary necessity. ' On no Important phase of the war effort has congress ever overridden the plans of army and navy directors. direc-tors. Farthest congress has gone in that way was in the farmer draft directive last session, but this involved in-volved the vital matter of feeding the United Nations.
