Crystal-Gazing Again Yice I' evident Wall.ice is looking into ; le crystal nail again, and has even attempted '• put one over on the President while the latter is cngullcii it. the war and i^ not look.ng. by exfjandiiiit the tour treecloms into seven but never for a moment forgetting l> .- l.ne old v:iv presidential . j-tom oi star-gazing toward the century ol the common man. I! the v.-p. would forsake some :;i.« h.uli-sounding phrases and get down "ii terra firma to face the ste. a realities, his eb.illitious ii :iiit be mure effective and create a more iasling impression. He is trying to i .ithe spotlight upon In:..sell by trotting out an array of new-tangled catchy phrases largely abstract in character, and which may or may not mean anything. The v.-p. does well to emphasize tiie peril controiitiilg the country by too :> uch thought of "America fi'"*t." ,i w; .. «■ v.nun uiuioriay nil' rsioiu sp . • i>l isolationism that came so i-U ,-t. : ■ wrecking tile nation.

Hi i dotted ..ntl translated. tlint means internationalism, :i thing \vc must have vast ly mure el in the United Stall-.-- if wo ire not to slump back : int" the very groove which already ha.s been .-<> costly. Prior to the Chicago speech Sat - ! unlay night, which was the vehicle I >r expounding the latest concoction oi Utopianism. Wallace had said on same trip west that Pre-ident Roosevelt must preside at the peace coiui.ieti.C. Whether he must or no, that was the vice president's way of furthering the cause of t|ie fourth term, and the camouflage is easily Iran.-parent. Whether tin- President mast iii shall preside at tht> peace conference will not be decided by this Iowa dreamer, hut by gentlemen who will have larger voice in afla.rs than he. Mr. Roosevelt can win a fourth term and still not be tiie head-knocker at the little meeting that will undertake to shape tilings t" come. Mr. Wallace hasn't, forgotten how Lucifer was cast from the Presence, nor how 11 umpty-Diimpty toppled from hi- eminence. Could it be that his elaborate pattern and his I lattery are a form of bootlicking by way of trying, stop by step, to restore himself in the good graces of the throne.' Maybe tin- dream of a quart of milk a day lor every inhabitant of the globe is all a part of the program for the century of the common man. Once a decade and half ago there was a man who talked about two cars in every garage and two chickens in every pot. That sounded like the century of the common man, but said common man, within that t|iiadrenn*um. did well to possess a rubber-tired cart and to have even a chicken wing. Our modest guess would be that Mr. Wallace, whatever he may think about it, is falling well short of talking himself into the While Mouse, and that he would gel much further and make a more lasting impression if he would descend int" the practicalities of everyday life and do less dreaming and not quite so much crystal-gazing. The Nazis on the Russian front speak of their "elastic defense." Sounds suspiciously like an offense that snapped back. Maybe those Italian trains do run on time. At least, it seems that Count Ciano and his family caught one. Good Start As far as appeared ev ident iu early dealings, the Henderson tobacco market began the 1943 season today under reasonably lavorabie auspices. What the average price was can be determined only whe.i official statistics are available 'omorrow, and how much higher the figure would have been had the Ol'A permitted a ceiling dittercntial. as it should have done, because of extra effort and cost in preparing the leaf for market, will continue to be a matter ol speculation. Growers received far better prices than iu most former years, at that, although increased production expenses absorbed and offset some of this advantage. Much of the leaf offered appeared to be of tairly good quality, though offerings had their proportion of weather-beaten tobacco. Most people will agree, we bel'eve. that there is altogether too much control and regulation of tobacco, from grower to consumer. This is due in part to the fact that it is a luxury product in which demand exceeds the supply, that the people are determined t<> have their smokes almost regardless ot cost, and that the government I tins that picking on the industry is one of its pet hobbies. Hopresenlative government, "expressed in governors and congressmen. finds itsei stymied and bucUing a sioi'e wall in el fort.- to check inroads by bureaucratic government. Klected ofl;c.als have joined combat with bureau chiefs, who have made themselves czars aiul dictators aver many of the ways ot the people, and have come oil second host and been lorccd to adn. i 'here is nothing they can do. So tiiat the 1943 tobacco crop goes lo market ham.-(rung iu a maze ol regulations and restraints- almost without parallel in an establishment ot qiiasi-jtidici i! and admin strative bodies which have all but taken over the government >1 the land. S"iv«e of the control exercised, and which was delegated by growers themselve-. l as been helpful. i> ;l bureaucracy hagoiie !o extremes, as i! almo.-t always iii.es. and is denv.iu citizens ligii's i tvhich are their.- and which it was i j never intended shot.Id be taken from ! them.

This is vastly better and morL> d it was the French fleet we were all mi much alarmed about; now it's the Italian navy. Most of the French fleet presumably lies at the bottom oi Toulon harbor, and nearly all of what was once the pride of prancing "HI Mussolini i.today in the hand* of the United States and Britain sately i:i Mediterranean ports of the Allies. This accounts for all of the Axis sea power except the Japanese navy, admittedly formidable but i "t nearly so much so as eighteen months ago, thanks to American marksmanship. There are, of course, the three or four tirstline batlleships Hitler still possesses which are .-till afloat, in contrast to thc Bismarck and others now at the bottom of the North Atlantic. The British navy would like to meet them, but they would not like it so well, and therefore stay in hiding as lar a., possible. Surrender of the Itlaian Meet, tilt experts -ay. will make it possih!" lo|- large units of the American and British navies in the Med terrane.'ii lo be transferred to the Indian Drean and thc South Pacific to help settle tiie score with Tojo's outfit, [liven time to negotiate the great rlistance, these ships will turn up somewhere to the discomfort and ivorry of the Japs. It will be but i prelude, however, to what is coming, once Hitler is out of the picture. Kvcn Is are rapidly shaping up which ultimately will reveal the inttern of the postwar world, when he American and British navies— irobably chiefly the American—will lominatc the seven seas. It will then >v the duly and responsibility of hose two great powers, more than tny others, to keep the peace for ill the world. The Italian monarch's official titles ilso claim rulership of England, 4'rancc and Spain, among other naions. Thai's a tall piece of bragging for a fellow who says, "yes ilr" to (he Fascists. One of King Victor Emmanuel's 'ities is "Master of the Deep"—reerring, no doubt, to those sunken talian warships.

Late corn was seriously hurt by div weather and will fall short of expectations, but largci yield on early planting may boost the total production above 1 !>42. There will be less peanuts. less sweet potatoes, soybeans and hay than la-t year if pie-ent indications are borm out. Then will also be less tobacco, a fact that will have con- iderable el feci on cash income figures for farmers but will not affect the food supply. Hcduction in cotton will atfect both, sin.-c cottonseed in recent years has become a major source 01 vegetable >ils.
