30. LYNCHBURG Commital ser Chamber's Time Work Secretary Ben Moctnaw of Covington's Chamber of Commerce, told the large gathering at the local chamber's annual dinner that the war financing activities of the Staunton body were its major contribution to the economic and social life of this community during the war years. "There Is no finer piece of work in the state," he declared. "Your wartime accomplishments are recognized as outstanding in the state; you have done a magnificent Job, particularly In your role as the dynamic force In the various war bond campaigns. There is no fined piece of work in the Mr.

JHoomaw should know; he is director of th3 Virginia War Finance Committee. Mr. Moomaw sees the war finance work of the Chamber as sound Insurance for the future, for it provides a backlog of buying power which Will be of tremendous economic Importance In the years following the war. Of $12,000,000 which have been invested In war bonds in Staunton and Augusta, $4,000,000 Is in or Individual, bonds, and they are held by thousands, thus assuring future purchasing power. The remainder represent business reserves which will provide the financial sinews postwar expansion and Improvements, strengthening the future economic life of the community.

In addition to heading up the war finance program for the community, the Chamber of Commerce has dealt with a continual procession of civic matters, including the Route 11 by-pass, the problem of adequate soft water during drought, the proposal to close the War Manpower Commission's office (which was defeated), efforts to obtain federal improvement of trie local airport to accommodate air ambulances bringing -wounded men to Woodrow Wilson General Hospital, and many others. Continuation of the chamber during the war period when It looked as If civic improvement and trade promotion were "out" for the duration has been more than Justified, and the community owes a debt of gratitude to President John D. Crowle, Secretary-Manager Flnley Tynes, and the members of the boarcl of directors who have served so ably and faithfully. Why No Big Push In The West? Semi-official Russian newspapers are beginning to ask why a major offensive has not been launched in the west to coincide with that In the east, prevent further reinforcement in the latter theatre by shifting troops frrm the Rhine and hastening the destruction of the German armies. While Elsenhower's forces are maintaining pressure, they are moving forward slowly and cautiously, and there Is no sign as yet of a powerful drive.

The German counter-offensive in the Ardennes threw the Allies off-balance. The hard fight In the Belgian bulge and the diversionary offensive In the Vosges gained time for the Germans and undoubtedly enabled von Rundstedt to shift large forces eastward.1 Elsenhower evidently has not had adequate tkne to effect the re-grouplng and to build up the supplies for a great offensive after the costly losses he took in the German attack. It took the Russians months to prepare for their winter offensive, and their lines of communication are not comparable to ours in length and difficulties. In not using everything he has at once instead of waiting to mount an offensive which can be sustained to the Rhine and across thabar-rler, General Elsenhower may be making a mistake. The fullest possibh pressure now, when the Russians are almost In sight of Berlin, might be of more value in gaining a decision than an offensive launched af ter the Russians are spent Failure to strike simultaneous blows enables the Germans to shift from one front to the other.

Yesterday revealed new indications of the Germans' probable intention of withdrawing clear to the Rhine. On the central part of the front, the First and Third Armies pushed two miles into the Siegfried Line, meeting with light resistance and finding many pillboxes undefended. In the south, the Americans and French below Strasbourg cleared 30 miles of the Rhine's left bank of Germans, and the German offensive in the Vosges appears to have died down entirely. A determined push with all available force along the entire western front should pay big dividends. With the Russians, we hope that it will come without more delay.
