attempting through its Washington em-

Turtle Tactics
Bad Diplomacy______
By HUGH s. JOHNSON
THAT would we gain for Pin-
W land or ourselves by breaking
off diplomatic relations with Rus-
sia? If it is a step toward break-
ing off trade relations it could be
understood as an act of economic
war, but mere-
ly withdrawing
our agency fc
observati o
and communi
cation is a sort
of petulant
gesture. It
would mean lit-
tle or nothing
to the bolos
and it would
handicap our
own’ interna-
tional rela-
tions, cutting
off our na-
tional nose to*
spite our face. Mr. Johnson
It is true that an American am-
bassador to Moscow means a
ambassador in Washington, but
the latter is at best a barely tol-
erated institution. We haven’t any
secrets for him to discover that
all the world doesn't know, in
spite of strong and continued ef-
forts to obtain commercial cred-
its here and a record of payments
on the dot, Soviet Russia has
never been able to build any con-
siderable trade on usual terms.
About all the Soviet ambassador
has to transmit to his government
is news of continuing and increas-
ing detestation of his nation for
everything communistic.
* * *
TT is equally true that as an out-
1 post of information our em-
bassy in Russia is no great
shakes. Our military observers in
almost every other country know
a great deal about what is going
on in their line—but not in Rus-
sia. That dictatorship has learned
the art of impenetrable secrecy.
On economic, military and politi-
cal fronts, Russia remains a
guess. 1
I realize that these remarks
seem to weaken the principal sug
gestion against withdrawing *

long as we are represented in Rut
sia, we do have a ticket to the
show even if it is way off in the
left field bleachers. We can get
some understanding of develop-
ments. We can intervene to pro-
tect our own people. We can build
up, at least on paper, our case for
international decency. We might
even be in a position, through
good offices, to add something to
a peace.
The Russian embassy here may
have abused our hospitality to
further Communist activities—
but the actual output of the Com-
munist party as such doesn't
amount to much here. Especially
recently it has tended to kill it-
self. Our danger is not enlisted
Communist partisans. We can
take care of them with a couple
of Irish cops. Our danger is crack-
pots in high official positions who
scorn any Soviet connections and
are scorned by them, but who
harbor Communistic purposes and
call them "liberal.”
THE Russian embassy has less
1 to do with that than the
White House. The cruel, lying,
brutal conduct of the Communists
in Finland is doing more to affect
Communism here and elsewhere
in the world than anything either
embassy or our whole Government
i could do. It is affecting it to its
destruction. The bloodiest ravages
and most savage treachery of our
Apache and Comanche Indians
were ping-pong compared to these
bloody orgies. Nevertheless, we
kept our Indian agencies in those
reservations as long as the agent
could stay there and live. It
avoided many troubles, softened
those that came, helped keep our
policy straight and everything
made for peace.
We have no ambassador in Ger-
many. We are talking about ceas-
ing trade relations with Japan and,
all relations with Russia. Be-"
cause they have been absorbed,
we have no diplomatic relations
with A u s t r 1 a. Czechoslovakia,
Abyssinia and Poland. Pretty
soon, at this rate, between losing
our representation in the absorb-
ed countries and abandoning it
with the absorbers, our diplomatic
corps will have to go on relief. If
that isn’t isolationism, what is it?
And what do these turtle tactics
gain for us or any other nation?

This is the first indictment naming | TARL 0. MILLS of St. Louis, ex-

to Attorney General Murphy by Presi-
dent William Green of the A. F. of L.,
who contends that unions and their
members are exempt from any sort of

- laws. It is impressive evidence that
the Justice Department is not pulling
P its punches against illegal restraints
that increase the cost of building. And
it is in line with Mr. Murphy’s reply
to Mr. Green that the department is
following Supreme Court decisions in

zoning of Fort Worth. He was chosen
by the City Zoning Commission, of
which Marvin C. Nichols is president,
and the City Council has confirmed his
appointment.
Zoning has lagged too long already,
and we look forward to the time when
Mr. Mills will have completed his work
and zoning can actually be put into
effect.
It must be remembered that draw-
holding that labor, the same as busi- | ing a zoning map is not the whole
job. The city was that far along
ness, is liable under the anti-trust laws
when it becomes a party to such re-
straints.

done. When the zoning plan is com-
pleted, it will then be necessary for
the Council to enact ordinances to put

My most convincing authority on the
history and character of the Youth Con-
gress is J. B. Matthews, the backslid Bolo,
who was a fellow traveler for years and
who is now an examiner and research man
for the Dies Committee.

| T WOULDN’T trust Matthews as far as
1 1 I could sling an anvil by the horn,
because Any man who admits, as he does,
that he saw the Ukraine famine with his
own eyes but refused to believe what
he saw, and admits that long afterward
he denounced as false, without even read-
ing them, a series of articles by another
witness describing those horrors, is a liar
by the clock, even though he calls his
lies self-deception, as Matthews does.
But the sequence, the substance and
the citations in Matthews' account of the
history of the Youth Congress are such
as to relieve me of any need for trust-
ing his word. Matthews gives convincing
evidence that the Communists did take
over the Youth Congress, and, referring
back to last Summer, when this Trojan
horse bucked, whinnied and squealed in
wild alarm over a resolution to denounce
Communism along with Fascism, and com-
promised by denouncing dictatorships in-

The Tradition Against the Third Term Must Not
Prevent a Continuation of Roosevelt's Policies
r
It has lost the valuable community
TECIDING the Chicago milk case of Westover Hills, which incorporated
U this week, the Supreme Court re- itself on the excuse that the city did
fused to pass upon labor’s claim to
anti-trust-law immunity, asserting that
the question “is not open on this ap-
peal.” But undoubtedly the question
will reach the court on some future
appeal, probably as a result of the
Justice Department's present activity
in the building trades field.
That activity, Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold has pointed
out, is directed against such unreason-
able restraints as preventing the use of
cheaper material, improved equipment
or more efficient methods; compelling
the hiring of useless and unnecessary
labor; enforcing system of graft and
extortion; enforcing illegally fixed
prices, and attempting to destroy estab-
not offer it protection against enroach-
ment by undesirable types of building.
The excuse was valid, since the city
actually did not furnish this protection,
and so a satelite community has been
created and Fort Worth has lost the
taxes on this rich community which to |
all intents and purposes is a part of
Fort Worth.
Mr. Mills, the expert chosen to
make the zoning survey, comes well
qualified to do the job. He has had
experience in a score of large cities
and should be able to draw up a prac-
tical plan for the benefit of Fort
Worth.
It will be a good tiling for citi-
zens to remember that, since the zon-
lished collective-bargaining systems. _ _________

toes will inevitably be stepped on in
says, the A. F. of L. now wants over-
ruled is the famous case of "Duplex
Printing Press Co. vs. Deering.”
* * *
TN that case the court asserted that,
± under Section 6 of the Clayton Act
(the section upon which Mr. Green
bases his theory of complete sanctuary
for labor), the anti-trust laws cannot
be construed to forbid the existence or
operation of labor unions, or to forbid
their members from lawfully carrying
out their legitimate objects, or to hold
that a union is—merely because it ex-
ists and operates—an illegal combina-
tion in restraint of trade. "But,” the
court added—
“There is nothing in the section to
exempt such an organization or its
members from accountability where it
or they depart from its normal and
legitimate objects, and engage in an
. actual combination or conspiracy in re-
: .straint of trade. And by no fair or
permissible construction can it be taken
as authorizing any activity otherwise
unlawful, or enabling a normally law-
c-ful organization to become a cloak for
an illegal combination or conspiracy in
restraint of trade, as defined by the
anti-trust laws.”
# * *
THE Department of Justice is not
1 trying to destroy labor unions or
to prevent them from lawfully carrying
out their legitimate objects. It is at-
tacking illegal and trade-killing activ-
ities, whether the culprits are union
members, businessmen, or both. In that
' effort we believe it has the strong sup-
port of public opinion, even within the
ranks of organized labor.

But zoning is so urgently needed for
the general welfare of the city that
some individual desires must be sub-

A dent in France sought out the

under great pressure.
Mrs. Roosevelt's perturbation about the
injustice that is inflicted on witnesses ap-
pearing before Congressional committees
comes very late, and not much better late
than if it never had been expressed at
all. It is a fact that citizens haled be-
fore the inquisitors are not allowed coun-
sel and that some examiners give them
the old district attorney's treatment, but
surely that isn't news to Mrs. Roosevelt
after all this time, and it would have
seemed better if she had taken occasion
to object to such conduct toward simple
citizens much earlier in the game.
• • •
TTER protest, raised only now and in
11 these particular circumstances, sug-
gests that it wasn't so much the treat-
ment itself as the identity and character
of the victims that aroused the gracious
lady's sense of justice.
She couldn't have thought of rushing
to the defense of J. P. Morgan or of Mr.
Hearst's telegrams, could she? True, it
may be that these are bad Americans, but
the civil liberties fans and Bolos them-
selves are always urging, on behalf of
1 saboteurs and provocateurs, that the worst
cases make the best cement to repair the
structure of American rights.
This youth outfit may not now be as
Communistic as it was, but Mrs. Roosevelt
was for it before the fall of Warsaw
and the attack on Finland when it was
at its worst. Communism hasn't changed
at all in the meanwhile.
The Stalin dictatorship is no worse
now than it was then, and in these new
atrocities is just running true to form
and to the character ascribed to it all
along by those who examined Communism
and Nazism and found them alike. The
fact that some American Bolos have quit
Communism since the Stalin-Hitler pact
means only that they were embarrassed
and double-crossed by Stalin. ,
Anyway, this youth movement, like all
the others, is a phony, because not one
of them is a genuine youth movement.
They are all organized, directed and hopped
up by leaders of middle years who want
to direct youth into some service, political,
military or religious. The punks just
think they are running their own shows.
If not, then what is Mrs. Roosevelt doing
in a youth movement?

Laughter, of Fools, Sages, Is Fanfare of Progress
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
T AUGHTER has many uses. It eases

up the hearts of the despairing, and scat-

After you’ve reached

you are wise, never to

dream. You understand
that those things which
man laughed at yester-
day they accept today
as casually as they ac-
cept the air they
breathe.
Mrs. Ferguson
It’s always easy to
laugh—remember that—too easy, especial-
ly when one meets a strange idea or a
new mechanical wonder.
How the neighbors snickered at Kitty
Hawk when the gangling Wright Brothers
were trying out their flying machine? The
nation echoed with guffaws as young
Henry Ford chugged down Detroit streets
in his funny little * motor contraption.
Humorous remarks greeted Marconi’s first
tale of wireless telegraphy. The public
sneered at the Morse code, at the first
crude telephone, at the infant radio.
Everything that has been discovered, in-
vented, or attempted, was jeered at be-
fore it was accepted.
And we still laugh. The scientist in
California who devised a method of rais-
ing vegetables without soil was denied
the right to use the university laboratory
for his experiments. Everybody was tick-
led at such foolishness. Men and women
living near El Paso, Ill., have been amused
for a long time at a farmer in their com-
munity who has worked night and day
to produce hybrid corn which could with-
stand drought and grasshoppers. Today
the vegetables and the corn are realities,
and the scoffers are silent.
Usually it is the old who laugh loud-
est at new schemes and dreams. The
young dare and do. That’s why I have
ceased long since to doubt the future,
for I believe we have only begun to wit-
ness the wonders of science and I know
that the laughing fools who incite the
idealists to high achievements are with
us always.- -
Editor, The Press:
I HAVE READ and listened to
many a windbag full of political
chatter. But the timid bleating
by our political experts against a
third term to the presidency is the
worst yet. It is like arguing
which leg of a three-legged stool
is the most important.
The history of George Washing-
ton's public life reveals conclu-
sively that he was opposed to
limited tenure and declined a
third term only to realize the lux-
uries of retirement which he had
persistently sought since his res-
ignation as chief of the Continen-
tal Army at the close of the Rev-
olutionary War.
Those who follow the phantom
two-term tradition would be well
advised to forsake Washington as
the originator of their cause. In
fact, he was fed up on public ser-
vice even before he was elected
to the presidency the first time.
He was sorely distressed with
newspaper criticism and public of-
fice and wanted to retire at the
expiration of his first term. If
he had done so, we would have a
one-term tradition that would bet-
ter fit the unscrupulous politi-
cians.
President Roosevelt has never
asked for a third term nor raised
a finger to get one, and may not
want a third term, but we must
have a third term for his ideas.
The achievements of his adminis-
tration have become so much a
part of our natural life that any
attempt to rip them out would
bring disorder and chaos to all
classes.
He has maintained, with un-
shaken firmness, the vital Inter-
ests of his fellow man. During
the squalls of depression he never
faltered in the course and has

ONCE UPON A TIME, it’s a

winging her way through the im-

tiny bit of humanity with his face
all twisted up.....in a state of won-

found himself . . . and wiggling a
flock of pink fingers and toes.
In due time, this future husband
of some beautiful gal was named
"Charles Barry” ... a very nice
cognomen to start a youngster off
with, sez I. This little gobbler had,
on his arrival, a sister about the
age of 2, and this little miss had
been holding down the role of
"leading lady” in the doctor’s
home during her two years of
"baby-trouping." But with the
visit of Mrs. Stork, she was
thrown into somewhat of a minor
part . . . and it was rather diffi-
cult to play, but she carried on,
just the same. )
Time rolled on, and within

there was little she could do about
it. However, being a smart kid,
she got into the swing of the
thing and started to improve her
routine, as it were. She found
that in order to “stick with the
show," she had to do things for
herself, instead of relying so
much on her mama.
She also got hep to the fact
that if she wanted to regain her
"spot" in the family show, she
would have to improve her "work-
ing vocabulary.” And today, as a
result of her efforts, she is right

family . . , and has no feeling of
inferiority. Try and find the moral

the way to security, peace and
happiness, despite the baskets full
of problems dumped in the lap of
his administration.
He has rebuilt the’ reduced
structure of the Federal Govern-
ment and restored the power of
government to where it may again
govern the powerful and protect
the weak, which is the legitimate
end of all government.
These are times when every
clear head knows we need a
strong president to keep democ-
racy safe. Not a middle-of-the-
roader, one who holds up traffic
both ways. A leader to hold to-
gether the forces of good-will and
intelligence so they may become
an effective and concentrated
force in using the invigorated
powers of government in the so-
lution of the country's problems.

Democratic party, because he has
made the record and alone can

COLLEGES BLAMED
FOR THANKSGIVING MUDDLE
Editor, The Press:
CONFUSION of Thanksgiving: j
Since the days of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, who gave credence for
convocation in thanksgiving unto
Jehovah for the manifold bless-
ings bestowed, to Lincoln's desig-
nating such a day, to be the last
Thursday in November, and never
before has there been such a bur-
lesque on Thanksgiving.
The President gave his reasons
for, and had the right to advance
the day, or dating, therefore such
a confusion has been brought
about by some of our universities
who are most concerned about
sports than national obedience.
Such empty tactics weaken the
whole structure of better govern-
ment.
This writer thinks the date for
Thanksgiving should not have
been advanced. Also the Jews
thought that the old Jewish sab-
SIDE GLANCES
bath should not have been- ad-
vanced one day to accommodate
the Lord’s sabbath, notwithstand-
ing that we have gotten used to
ft by this time and think it’s
good, therefore we condone it.
At such a rate, our universities
are sowing seeds that in time will
be their greatest enemy, sending
out thousands of graduates for
good government and . behold
"they brought forth wild grapes”
which in streamline terms would
be called red-necks.
What our universities need to
do, is leave off play and read the
book of Deuteronomy for a great-
er understanding .of "obedience"
so that the sovereign head of our
nation may endure no further hu-
miliation.

Editor, The Press:
HURRAH for Louisiana!
The’
good work, the thorough house-
cleaning now going on down there
in Louisiana, at the capital. Baton
Rouge, the wholesale arrests and
convictions of corrupt state offi-
cers holding high positions cer-
tainly deserves the commendation
of all honest people everywhere.
Of course, very naturally, Lou-
isiana people are chagrined and
ashamed: The stench is so sti-
fling that one might think it
would reflect and blight the char-
acter of everything in the state.
But no so. In the end it will be
just the reverse.
Louisiana deserves and will get
great credit for her determination
and will power and when the job
Is done and it is all over with the
filth and cockroaches that were
fast ruining the great state have
all had their bath of good old lye
and striped overalls, and Austin,
Texas, and all other neighboring,
disease-ridden cesspools catch this
clean-up fever, perhaps then, "my
country ‘tis of thee" will be a de-
cent place for law-abiding citizens
to live and rear their children.
