Despite her youth and the fact
that she lacks experience in the
endless controversy between EN-.
ploye and employer, Miss Della
Cogan has become one of the
most prominent figures in union
activity at Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration.
A Washington girl. Miss Cogan
became interested in organization
work when she first became con-
nected with AAA more than a
year ago, joining the American
Federation of Government EN-.
ployeS shortly after that group
won its debate with NRA over
the status Of John L. Donovan.
who had been discharged for
alleged excess union activity.
Since that time she has taken
a leading part in employe meet
ings, belongs to the membership
committee of Lodge No. 116,
AFGE, and has been active in a
number of campaigns sponsored
by the organization as a whole.
Hazeleyed, with dark curly
hair, Miss Cogan enjoys swim
ming and dancing when away
from her office at the Old Post
office Building, and is termed
unusually efficient" in her work
by colleagues.

AnteFnhttOuhl NGWs SeENlCo
The American Government acted
solely on its own initiative and in
the interests Of the American
people in proclaiming its neutrality
stand in the Ethiopian war, Secre-
tary of State Hull said today.
Questioned at his press con-
ference as to whether the neutral
ity steps taken by President RooSe-
velt had been discussed with other
governments, Secretary Hull rO-
piled:
"The actions were taken solely
on our own initiative in the in
terest of the American people
and without notice Of cOllabOra-
ton with anybody anywhere"
This was in line with the Ad-
miniStration'S policy Of maintain.
ing independent judgement of
action in all European contro-
versies.
Trusts Politicians
Veteran Tennessee politician
that he is, Mr.. Hull is not de-
pending upon President Roose-
velt's politically appointed diplo-
mats in this crisis.
Mr.. Hull leans heavily on men
who have devoted their careers
to this Governments foreign
affairs. He depends upon their
information and advice to steer
him through the dangerous Situa-
tion that threatens to plunge all
Europe into war.
Key men, whose successful
movements depend upon secrecy,
have been stationed at the new
hot spots of the world, Adds
Ababa, Rome, Geneva and
London.
At Adds Ababa, cool and calm
Cornelius Van H. Engert is in
charge of the American Legation.
No political appointee in that
spot. Engert has spent nearly
all of his % years in the service
in the Near East and Orient and
is converSant with problems,
languages, customs and history of
the inhabitants.
At Roman Scene
Alexander Kirk is Americas
man behind the scenes at Rome.
He is the right hand man to Am.
baSSador Breckenridge Long.
Suave, keen of intellect, Kirk is
known in the service as the man
who can detect the common act
of double-cross in international in
trigue.
Prentiss Gilbert, consul at &C.
neva, has his fingers on throb-
bing pulses of European states
men. A smart, and young looking
man, he is recognized as a person
of ususual perception into interna-
tional affairs.
The ace of the foreign career
agents, however, is Ray Atherton,
counsellor of the embassy in Lon.
don; the man who has told every
American Ambassador to the
Court of st. James since 1924 how
to do things. Atherton concedely
has more information on British
internal ano external affairs than
any American in the service. He
is supposed to know more import
ant Englishmen than any Ameri-
can as well as the empires
policies.
At the State Department, Hull
is drawing on the knowledge of
two obscure corps members, Paul
Alling, authority on Ethiopia, and
Vinton Chaplin, the Italian expert.

dingy place, with rags Of dust stiffened
curtains at the windows. But there
was a time, they tell me, when Chief
Plenty Coups kept open house for any
white man needing a nights lodging or
a meal, with a plentitude of food and
beds in every room. During his hos
pltable days of glory as proud ruler OF
a nation he beautified his domain as
best he could, not only covering his
floors but draping his walls with gor-
geous-hued Administer rugs.
The Crows can never have another
chief great in the SenSe that Plenty
CoupS was great. Modern times de-
mand, not the courageous warrior, bat
Ting for his people, acquiring new land
or more horses, defending his hunting
ground from invasion, but the Sagacious
politician, who must guard tribal rights
from other politicians of whittier skin
and equally sagacious.
Up on the Grow reservation, that lit
tie nation within a nation, based on an
elective system of government, there is
as much political turmoil as we find
in Italy or Germany, serious discussion
OF questions quite as vital to the Crows
as Hitler's policy is to Germany or
the Abyssinian situation to Italy. And
the Crows, like all other peoples, find
themselves separated into factions, one
endorsing this policy, another that.
Fifty-five years ago, certain men
stood out prominently against the mass:

The Crow reservation is a small
nation within a nation. There, al
though nominally unde. the United
States government, the Crows ave
a civic organizatin and a system of
democratic government very much
like u own, which they have not
copied but have worked out through
untold centuries of experiments. They
are divided into six lodges or dis
tricts: WyOla, Black Lodge, Big
Horn, Lodge Grass, Reno and Pryor.
These units might be compared to
our separate states, each with a leader
chosen by the people, a leader we term
governor, and whom the Crows call
sub-chief. From time to time tribal
councils. comparable to our legislatures,
are held, presided over by the sub
chiefs and two tribal councilmen from
each district, chosen by the people
by vote to represent them, just as we
choose senators and representatives to
speak for us in congress. And, in those
tribal councils, laws, both wise and
uunwise, are passed. Always young,
ambitious men among the Crows have
looked forward to a future of glory
for themselves, climbing step by step
up from warrior to tribal councilman,
to sub-chief, and thence to the high
est honor of all-chief Of all the tribe.
The wise, fa~r-sighted ones have work.

political wires, occasionally resorting
to bribery for votes, just as their white
brothers have sometimes done. Or,
rarely and more hOnorably, have
proven themselves by their achieve
ments best fitted to lead their people,
Theoretically that method, of course,
is the basis upon which all leaders of
all people have been chosen.
Such a mar was Chief Plenty COups.
He was bound to rise. There was that
within him-executive genius, wisdom,
ambition, Observation-Disclosures for
babe the commonplace. Had he chanc-
ed to be born a Frenchman he would
have been a second Napoleon. A Roman
he would have been a second julius
Casear. Or, if an American. a Wash
ington or a Lincoln. Just as surely as
water seeks it's own level, would
Plenty Coups have risen to the highest
level of any environment in which he
might have been placed. But fate
decreed that he should be an Indian.
Nor was he even a full-blood of the
tribe he was destined to rule. Aleek-
chea-ahoosh was half Bannock and half
Grow and was brought into the Grow
tribe, a slave child or an adopted son,
while a baby. From the lowest rung
of the lowly ladder he climbed steadily
to its top, until, at his death, he was
Plenty Coups, man of many achieve
ments, recognized by redmen and
whites alike as the chief of chiefs.
Plenty Coups said to me once: II
always wanted to be-not only as good
as the best, but the best" In child
hood, he said, he worked to be leader
in the games. He strove to be the
swiftest runner, the strongest SWIM
mer, of all the Crow boys. And he told
me how, while other boys were playing
he spent long hours On the banks of the
river, watching the beaver swim and
endeavoring to learn from it the surest,
swiftest strokes. He told me, with a
smile for the childish superstition, of
how he followed his mothers sug-

men guiding their little ship of state
along the current of the times as wisely
as they could. And putting their mark
to the treaties they signed at Wash
ington. Today, it has been said, Max
Big Man and Russell White Bear and
Robert Yellowtail are the brains of
the Crows" These men can no longer
fight tribal battles with bows and ar
rows, they have wisely armed them
selves, instead, with white mans weap-
onS. Each of these Grow leaders is a
college graduate.
Russell White Bear, a broad-should-
cred, dignified man of about SIS, speak
ing perfect English, married a white
woman, also a college graduate. During
his college days he distinguished him
self, not only by brilliant scholarship,
but by football fame. His children
will, in due time, receive a college edu-
cation. His oldest daughter is o at
school in Denver. But when l asked
him: What will your children be?
What are they preparing for?' he
appeared somewhat puzzled and sham
ed me with his reply.
"Do?" he echoed. why, get an edu-
cation"
To this man, member of a tribe which
some still speak Of as savage" it seems
that the acquiring of culture is an end
in itself, something more than a
weapon for commercial gain.
Max Big Man we all know. Although
possibly something Of a Snowman, he

again be more than nominal.

it lis the part of the resident agent
to keep an office open at all times for
the purpose of prompt and diligent in
quiry into such matters of complaint,
by and against the Indians, as may be
presented for investigation, also for the
faithful discharge of other duties IN
Joined on him by law"
Robert Yellowtail is well qualified
for his post. A brilliant man, a lawyer
admitted to the Montana state bar, he
fights, as staunchily as did Chief
Plenty Coups, for the rights OF his
people. The children Of these men are
attending, or will attend college. High
er education will be their strong med
icine. They will make coups in victor
ious word battles, and, although they
will no longer wear vermillion-b barred
feathers as mark of their triumphs v
the enemy, the stamp of their success
will be upon their minds and hearts.
Some of them, given the ambitious de-
termination of Plenty Coups, may train
themselves rigidly for future greatness.
No longer need racial differences be a
handicap. That the aptitude for
greatness is inherent in the souls of
these copper-skinned neighbors Of ours
few al doubt.
