ager. Mr.. Roosevelt said he knew the very fell
low for the job. Our friend was given the job
at $4,000 or $4,000 year. He can't very well
going concern.
But Ed-just what ability it was he acquired
that caused him to be lifted in such short time
from the ordinary salary he got from the A. F. L..
to $4,000 year with the RCA, is something we
would like the Planned Economists, the regi-
mentors and the advocates of fixed hours and
wages to explain. He was so years DID, or there
abouts, when the New Deal came in. A man is
not usually supposed to be on the earning power
upgrade at that age.
CREDIT GIVEN HUGH JOHNSON
OF course, Hugh johnson sold the RCA on
Ed. They must be having plenty of labor trouble
because Hugh got $4,000 out of them for one
labor case.
It isn't our point, that Ed won't be worth every
penny of it, either. In our society, the way it has
been run, the only man to say how much per-
son is worth is the one who pays him, or better,
still, the amount fellow can command.
Everybody who knows Ed McGrady is tickled
to death over his new job. Personally. we are
glad he got it before the Government got around
to fixing the wages and hours of labor advisers
for corporations. They are moving that way as
fast as they can. Soon, boards in Washington
will take the place Of Ed McGrady stories.

account Of single days outward occurrences.
It is the picture of what is going on behind
the scenes and penetrates so far behind the
headlines that Mr.. Ordinary Citizen has plenty
cause to be surprised. Before going further,
however, let's give assurance that the. President
shows no signs of yielding to this pro-war talk.
The current chief war propaganda is the
United States Navy. Maybe naval men are right
certainly if what they say helps persuade Con-
greSS to adopt twobattleShipSf or-one program
most far4Sighted Americans aren't going to COM
plain too much. But at the Navy Department in
Washington as well as among the Navy officers
who surround the President, war talk goes be-
yond the point Of just advocating preparedness.
Most Of the Nays best minds think-and they
aren't afraid to say it for but not for attrib-
tion-that now is the time to guarantee peace in
the Pacific. Uncle Sam has enough ships to do
the job, provided Russia takes care of the land
fighting problem. Sooner or later Navy men say
it has to be done. So, they ask, why not now?
The second, far more Secretive propaganda
comes from what the President calls economic
royalists. They are chiefly interested in protect
ing American property-which they confuse as
identical with American prestige-in China and
all other wartorn countries.
Occasionally this group of propagandists speaks
up in meeting, as 1t were. Latest example was
Wednesdays retort from the American Chamber
of Commerce in notwithstanding that the
President "get some CUTS" and protect the lives
as well as the property of Americans who refuse
to evacuate China This group doesn't see the
logic Of the Presidents present policy.

me so much, why didn't they reflect me last
timer"
At dinner we discussed again the place of
women in politics Mrs. Kahn, sharp-fighting
Republican that she has been and is, delighted
me by saying:
Mrs. Roosevelt is the smartest woman in pub
lie affairs. There's no one anywhere who can
touch her. She always knows what she is about
and she can draw circles about most Of the other
women who think they are good politicians.
She's an amazing person. She's full Of life and
the joy Of living. She has brains. She's bright
and sparkling. And with all this she has a sim
plicity and charm of manner that disarm her
severest critics."
Women Politicians "SIipping"
Such praise. my dears, from one woman warrior
for another is really good Paste it in your scrap
book!
To go back to the California woman in politics
generally.
California was one Of the first States to give
women the suffrage. But what has she done
with her vote, the men who maneuver politics
ask. At first she stepped out in front of the men
and tried to take q real Fart in government
Lately she has slipped far back.
She can still get herself elected to an office
But once elected what does she do? Does she
go to a higher office at next election dayP Prac-
tically never.
She passes down and out. She's had her little
fling. She isn't good enough or anxious enough
to go any farther.
There have been a few assemblywomen who've
not been too bad, I've been told. But many
women in office have been almost hysterical
Right out in public. They've followed phony
causes and phony crusaders. The place is alive
with cults. The climate breeds them.

what it was all about.
They said they had been trying
to decipher the conflicting instruc-

them erected in one block of Con-
stitution Avenue between Twelfth
and Thirteenth SITS. N. w.
The signs prohibit nine different
traffic actions.
Some of them say no parking
