Busy Boys Are Good
“One of the biggest problems facing
our nation today is the increase in juve-
nile delinquency.
‘?Like Sir Galahad, looking all over the
world for the Holy Grail and finding it in
his own back yard, the public has been
offered all sorts of panaceas for combat-
ting delinquency, but nobody has sug-
gested to take a look at the newspaperboys
of America.
"Here we have over a quarter million
boys being taught and developed in the
arts of self-reliance, free enterprise, and
business acumen, while earning a profit
for themselvds in addition to physical and
mental development through the varied
circulation programs.
“JThe circulation managers of our news-
pailers have long ago learned that ‘busy
boys are better boys’ and are proud of bo-
inarinstrumental in developing a good por-
tion of our youth in the American way of
life.

The world will waste no tears over this grim

on-lookers differ in their reactions to the irang-

out that many criminals would prefer death to

provide Illustration In support of this thesis. Grand
Adm. Eric Raeder pleaded ((unsuccess! Uly) for
death Instead of the life Imprisonment which was
imposed on him.
There’s one sure thing to be said about execu-
tion. It certainly stops the criminal involved from
further assaults on society. From this standpoint

I Ah Unjudicial Trial
Congressional investigating committees
have no power to punish an alleged of-
fender, but they nevertheless perform a
quasi-judieinl function. Since their hear-
UMS often attract more public attention
th3n court proceedings, they have a re-
sponsibility to conduct them in a fair and
p- ’ orderly manner. For as fat as the average
public judgment is concerned, a congres-
aional investigation is approximately a
legal indictment, arraignment and verdict.
Under these circumstances it seems a
pity that these committees sometimes fail
to conduct their hearings with anything
resembling judicial procedure, as the
House Merchant Marine Committee ob-
viously failed in its investigation of war-
tinle .shipbuilders’ profits.
These hearings followed a not unfamil-
iar pattern. First came some sensational
accusations by the “prosecution”—such
eye-catching statements as the charge
that "never before have so few men made
so mUch money with so little risk,” which
was made by Ralph E. Casey of the Gen-
eral Accounting Office.
The opening guns were answered some-
what less noisily by the accused who called
thq charges misleading, all wrong, abso-
lutely ridiculous and wholly untrue. And
as the hearings proceeded it developed that
the, “indictments” were indeed supported
by; half-truths and omissions scarcely
strpng enough to have sustained them in
a court of law.
Marvin Coles, the committee counsel,
charged shipbuilders with exorbitant prof-
its (ranging up to som<’fl'<’‘~ ”’■«* ’’
pert cent) as compared with their capital
investment. But he was not prepared tq
say* whether tnese proms we.e ww-uic or
after taxes. And he admitted that some of
his profit figiines were taken liefore con-
tract renegotiation had l>een completed.
Mr. Coles didn’t mention anything about
services rendered, or alwut the increasing
speed and efficiency with which war-sav-
ing, life-saving ships were built.
— - Qe d.dn’t mention the fact that the gov-
ernment built and owned most of the ship-
yards. He neglected, to state what Peter
Edson pointed out in a recent Washington
column, that “the shipbuilders weren’t
capitalists, but hired men . . . the con-
tractors’ earnings weren't nrofits on in-
vested capital, but fees paid for work
done.”
As Mr. Edson remarked, attacking the
discrepancies between contractors’ profits
and their capital investment is like saying
that congressmen aren’t worth $15,000 a
yegr, because they have no money invested
in the building where they work.
Jt may be that some shipbuilders did
reqpive exorbitant nrofits. If so, it is Con-
gress’ business to find it out. But Congress
can’t possibly do that unless it has some
sensible, detailed facts to work with in-
stoad of a meaningless assortment of fig-
ures buttressed by emotional paraphrases
uf Winston Churchill’s oratory.
Since the facts aren’t at hand, the hear-
ings have been put off until after next
month's elections. But in the meantime the
“prosecution” undoubtedly has done an ef-
fective job of trying and convicting the
shipbuilders before that considerable seg-
ment of our population which spends more
time in running than in reading.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 —UP) Henry Wallace—
announcing Ills new Job as editor-in-chief of the
New Republic Magazine—says it will address
the liberal-minded people of the world.
He says: "I want It to be looked on as 'must'
reading by liberals all over the wond. I want It
to be so simple that lilgh school students can un-
derstand It and so sound tiiat doctors of philosophy
respect it "
It might be well, in making the magazine more
readable, if Wallace would lay down his definition
of the term liberal
This is one of the most abused words In the
language and has become, Lhrougn careless usage,
a name for many different ’ kinds of political and
economic thinking
Wallace says he wants tbc magazine read by
workers, farmers and small businessmen all over
the United States
This is a far-reaching program for a magazine
like the New Republic which has a
now of only 40.000 to 45,000
Before examining that program, here Is some
background.
The New ReiHiblic is published weekly, runs
30 to 35 pages, sells for 15 cents.
The magazine is made up of book reviews, a
story on Washington events, movie reviews, and
various pieces of interpretation and opinion on
politics, world affairs, economics and almost any
other field
Throughout Its history the magazine has bucked
what it called progressive legislation It was lor
Franklin D. Roosevelt and hus New Deal pro-
gram throughout his stay in the White House.
It has been antl-Rcpublican Party.
Every two years, before the congressional elec-
tions, It prints a special section on the voting
records of congressmen
College professors, economists, labor experts
and experts in many fields have written for the
New Republic and still do.
The N?w Republic Is respected by Intellectuals
Out it always has been written over the heads of
the great majority of people in this country. It
Is written for the upper-level of Intelligence.
This magazine and others like it. precah racial
equality, social and economic justice and the need
for congressmen to vote lor laws to carry out
those programs
Much of what goes into magazines like the New
Republic apparently is written for readers who
think the same as those magazines anyway. Bo
they become, in a way, almost mutual admiration
societies.
Yet, their influence Is strong. Because many of
the people who read the magazines, and under-
stand them, are in active, and often important,
positions tn this country.
