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."

touted iiic i of "democracy first."
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-.

sales wore .it lea: t as good as that.
This is vastly better and morL> d<sirablc
th.hi the fight cents price for
which a wlvlo nop sold on this
market and lie'•itighont the State
suable than the eights price for
about a decade ago. At the same
time thc difference should not so
benumb farmers as to cause them to
accept abuses as a permanent fixture.
nor to sell their birthright for
a mess of pottage.
Axis Navies
Some months ag'> 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.
