A New Campaign

(New York Tmes)
 The National Committee to Uphold Consttu- tional Government announces campaign to enlist millions Americans to fight the 'isms." The accompanying explanation shows that the ''isms ferred to are socialism fascsm and communism.
 On the face of it this movement will stir up no opposition. Nearly all of in favor of consttu- tional government We do not question it any more than Californian questions his climate No one is openly advocating unconstitutional government. We have read of such government elsewhere and do not like it's ways. One hopes the NCUCG will go right ahead But does wish sometimes that organiza- tons with fine and noble purposes would be more specific One is surer where he is at when an organization states it's program definitely. There is never any ambiguity for example, about committees formed to buy straw hats for horses in to restore the American chestnut tree. The NCUCG will be wise if it describes explicitly how it proposes to achieve its admirable purposes

A Very Serious Matter
Save Us!
Cincinnati Enquirer

Now that Czechosloyakia's fate is settled, new problem of extraordinary gravity has arisen to plague the great minds of at least two Foreign Offices The new headache for statesmen concerns the possible meeting of Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt. Should should not the Presidents wife courtsey before the English Queen? Once that is settled, the further question arises: Will she?
 To state the problem is to expose it's gravity There than 400000000 persons living under the benign reign of King George and Queen Elizabeth. There are 35000O00 Americans, nearly all of whom recognize MT Roosevelt President and all of whom recognize Mrs Roosevelt the first lady. Clearly there are 535,0OO00O000 people involved in this mentous question, and it cannot be put aside lightly
 Of course these two ladies may not meet. But on the chance that they may, and that the fate of pires might rest their satisfactory greeting, it the protocol officers of both should renew their researches in musty archives
 They have lots of time to examine the record, and there 150 years of history since republics and monarches have existed side by side There must be some persuasive precedents. But there is fly in the ointment of the protocol officers. Unless they deaf, dumb and blind-which is a possibility they must realize that Mrs. Roosevelt will not follow precedent and Queen Elizabeth won't care.

Fifteen alleged instances Of
WPA opilitical activity ON Bark

committee. They consisted chief
" Of charges that Il number OF
administrative officials organized
an elaborate campaign to win
WPA votes for the senate maJorl-
ty leader. The campaign, the
committee charged, purportedIy
was instituted and carried out at
the request of Thomas s. Rhac OF
Barkley's state headquarters.
Specifically. the committee al
legged that Barley campaign but
tons were distributed among re-
lief workers and that they were
polled to determine their political
Affiliations. 1t also charged that
project workers h a d been APP
preached by foremen to sign
papers pledeing their support to
Barklcv. These activities, the
committee said. conferred in pula-
ski and Russell counties.
1t contended that in many in
stances WPA personnel "known to
hold views contrary to candidate
Barklcv were discharged" The
committee said that in Barkley'S
home county, Paducah. compre-
henSive canvass Of the entire
WPA personnel was made.
The committee charged that

ol.v force were coordimatcd in d
