ARMY MEN

If the policy of building up
the enlisted strength of the Army
Air Corps by transfers from other
agencies of the service is contin
ued, the Army will soon be de
pleted in certain divisions, Secre

He said depletion of other

Should Be Boss

MO matter how thoroughly our
L y fathers were sold on the idea
Of complete separation of the ex-
ecutive and legislative departments,
and no matter how strongly it ap-
peals to us as an academic propo-
sition, custom. especially in recent
years, has dirnmed its brightness.
Leaders like Roosevelt and Will
son created a new concept of the
presidential job, and not so new
either, since Thomas Jefferson and
Andrew Jackson set them the ex-
ample.
Rightly or wrongly, we look for a
President to do more than give
formal advice occasionally, or per-
form the routine duties of appoint
ing federal officers.
Rightly or wrongly, we expect
him not only to smile and shake
hands when we condescend to visit
Washington, but iron out the
wrinkles for us. whether they arise
from a political deadlock in con-
gresS, the antics of a government
overseas, or a strike in the coal
fields.
In other words, we expect a Presi-
dent to play at being boss, especial
ly of his own party.
That is one reason why he has
been given such stupendous power.

Federal Old Age Pensions.

humanitarian people i'll the world.
Perhaps we are. At any rate, point TO our
postwar relief to the starving of Europe, our quick
response to foreign famine funds, private phlan-

than those of other nations.
Why not? AS the richest nation should be the
most generous.
Assuming that we generous, 1t must be con-
fessed that much of giving still is Of the old per-
sonal charity type and too little Of the organized
social relief type.
Americans doubtless will be shocked to discover
from the present congressional hearings on od-age

His Defense

TN the first explanation, Arthur L.
i Endicott, the college controller,
contended that Harvard was not
actually violating the law, because 1t
paid the women during vacation
and sick leave, which brought them
up to 37-cent rate If the time
off was considered.
This seemed a somewhat legalistic
defense, and, unfortunately, there Is
also some reason to doubt its truth

Gardner Jackson, a reliable and
accurate reporter, has investigated
for the Nation, and last week he
wrote that he had interviewed
twelve women since the Harvard

denied ever having received any pay
from Harvard while absent on &C
count of illness.

prepared. I am in receipt of one
