‘GEORGE CONDEMNS TARIFF BARRIERS

* WASHINGTON, April 13 (U.P). ~—Chairman Walter F, George (D. Ga.) of the senate’s special postwar economic planning committee called today for elimination of re- - strictive tariff barriers to give impetus to greater world prosperity at the end of the war. George, whose committee will study tariff rates as one of the basic points affecting domestic and international economics, said in an interview. that elimination of such barriers would be vital in re7 habilitation of war-devastated areas. He disagreed with a recent prediction of Premier Adelard Godbout of Quebec that rehabilitation will bring about a short buying spurt, followed: by a reduction as such areas reach productive capacity. , George denied that an immediate . 4 post-war buying spurt need necessarily be followed by a decline. “The sooner such areas are rehabilitated fo production,” he said, “the ‘greater will be the aggregate purchasing power of the world.”

OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY New Augusta chapter, O. E. S., will observe its 40th anniversary at 8 p. m. tomorrow at the Masonic temple. An obligation ceremony also will be held. Mrs. Mary Frances Wright, worthy matron, and Walden Wright, worthy patron, will preside.

parts of its present European

gains but anyhow ensuring that all attempts to invade the Reich from

strongest resistance. Within this central armed camp, German. leaders plan to hold out for the longest period while ‘inflicting serious losses on their opponents. By this policy of desperation, they hope to tire out the allies until it will be possible to secure a negotiated peace. That seems fo be the likeliest deduction from the many straws borne on the wind during the last week, which permit forming a reasonably confident picture of the shape of things to come.

Time Against Allies

It is a picture showing time working against the allies, imposing on them the necessity for Herculean efforts to speed up their offensive plans. After some time, enlightened German opinion has been persuaded that the axis could not longer hope to achieve outright victory and hence must base future strategy on a new objective, namely, averting outright defeat. There is growing reason to believe that German leaders recently reviewing the Reich’s general situation reached- this position conclusion. That being the case, it became the most vital necessity to redouble efforts to crush Russia during the present year even if it was necessary to employ yet more brutal methods of warfare as a means of achieving that end. Hence, revived reports from central Europe that the Germans are trembling on the brink of a decision to employ gas on the last front.

Aided by Spring Thaw

That this possibility: still exists for the Germans is due to an abnormally early thaw robbing the Russians of spectacular success at the end of February which could have crippled the German armys,to the extent of rendering impossible a new eastern offensive this summer.

now seen to be pursuing is imposed by a combination of factors for which. Russia,. Britain and the United States all hold a share of the credit. Germany’s serious, albeit undecisive, reverses on the eastern front

losses of men and warlike material alike. Similarly, they have placed so squere a strain on the Luftwaffe that Germany’s next military plans must be framed with récognition of dwindling air support for its land armies. Similarly also, they have incréased the serious drain on oil reserves which, after many months, are being used up substantially

are reduced and lines shortened. By abandoning Italy, could stand on the strong natural defensive line of the Alps which, incidentally, it has strongly fortified in recent years against just such eventuality. How far this would involve withdrawl from the Balkans is a matter which the high command has certainly pondered, but it might well be concluded that German ‘troops could be more usefully employed de= fending the Yugoslavian and Bul

WASHINGTON, N, April 12 (U. ®). —Techhocracy has ended the life of the bugler. And there is actually some sadness as taps are played for the man villified for his morning reveille. ‘His demise—urgently ‘prayed for by countless sleepy-eyed soldiers— was noted in the current issue of a.technical magazine, Radio News: “An electrically controlled robot in the form of a monitorial phonographic public address and recording system has taken the place of the bugler in many army camps.”
