Famous Sayings
Willis Thornton's Editorial on:
Were You Addressing Us, Mr.. Churchill?

Fire spouting WINSTON Churchill
has spoken again to the people of
the British Empire, but it is a
pretty good guess that the first lord
of the admiralty was hoping Am
ericans had their ears pinned to the
keyhole.'
Mr.. Churchills speech was blunt.
He called Hitler a "cornered ma
,iac" and "that evil man." He
called Germany's acts of conquest
in Poland "bestial atrocities He
referred to the Hitler Ribbentrop
team as "those marvellous twin con-
tortionists."
If we are conquered" he said,
all will be enslaved and the United
States will be left single handed to
guard the rights of man" And. "The
great English speaking republic
across the Atlantic ocean makes no
secret of its sympathieS or of its
self -questioningS and translates
these sentiments into action of a
character which anyone may. judge
for himself"
We in America must be careful
how vigorously we nod our heads
in assent over Mr.. Churchill's state
ments. We must reserve the right to
Judge for ourselves events abroad.
We must be careful not to let even
as distinguished salesman as MIR.
Churchill slip his foot in our door.
Allied propagandists have encour-
aged circulation of the idea that
Britain and France are Americas
first lines of defense. Slogans like
this, banded about the country
and repeated often enough, can be
dangerous and misleading. We may
forget to analyze them and accept
them at their face value.
The ardor of statesmen in time
of emergency must be taken with a
grain of salt. 1t is good policy for
the British government to let Mr..
Churchill raise his voice now and
then. Issues must not be permitted
to cool People must not be permit
ted to forget they have an enemy.
We didn't start this war, and we
don't want any part of it. We got
into one war, % years ago, and it
will be long time before we froget
the expensive lessons we learned.
The propaganda this time is just as
smooth as it was then-making the
world safe for democracy-but we
aren't going to fall for it again.

public finding would collapse in the
same way as soon as the Supreme
Court got at it.
Consequently, the Board asked
permission to withdraw its case
from the Circuit court and to va
cate its order. Republic Steel con-
tested this plea, which eventually
went to the Supreme Court. Last
spring the Supreme Court ruled
that the board might do this.
The order was vacated. and the
Board carefully went through its
routine afresh. issuing proposed
findings of fact, inviting both par
ties to the case to file exceptions
and briefs and taking pains to make
its procedure jibe with the ruling
in the stockyards case.

POLITICS AND RELIEF
IN CALIFORNIA
{ Alameda TimeS-Star)

Before a special session of the legisla
ture is called to consider plan to pen
sion all persons unemployed and go years
of age at the rate of $50 a month the gov
ernor should look into the manner in
which the present pension law is carried
out. In some quarters it is charged that
the number of employees to administer
relief takes a large part of the fund
required and that as a result cases are
so closely investigated and with such
deliberation that if an applicant does
receive relief in due time it is for much
smaller amount than the law contem-
plates.
Too much machinery of relief is a bad
thing and leads to the conclusion that it
is used to give faithful followers of an
administration salaried jobs Be this as
it may, any action looking toward the
reassembling of the legislature is not
timely until all of the facts relating to
the administration of the present law are
made available.
BY all means, every effort possible
should be made to keep politics out of
relief, difficult thing to do as no one
has ever yet found way to take politics
out of government.

The land is scattered with psychoo-

America isn't interested in hav-
ing thousands of its sons die each
generation for European ideologies
that are forgotten in the thick OF
battle. We're not going to be kidded
into the belief that our real frontier
lies along the Maginot line.
Mr.. Churchill and other eminent
foreign statesmen may as we'll get
used to that fact. They may as well
scratch us off the sucker list, and
concentrate their energies in other
directions. We're going to be too

WASHINGTON-A little-noticed
angle of the Third U. S. Circuit
Courts decision on the Republic
Steel case is that it leaves Republic
owing some money to WPA.
Down in the lengthy Labor Board
finding which the court upheld was
a section dealing with back pay for
employees whom the Board ordered
Republic to reinstate.
Since the original unpleasantness
on which the whole row was based
took place back in the spring of
1887 some of these men had been
out of work a long time and had
gone on relief: so the Labor Board,
in ordering the company to give
them their back pay, stipulated
that it deduct therefrom any sums
which they might have received
from WPA and pay those sums dir
ect TO WPA.
That isn't entirely unprecedent-
ed. WPA authorities say there have
been a few similar cases, involving
small sums. in which they have re-
ceived payment. They haven't yet
figured out how much they have
coming from Republic.
DECISION COMFORTS
LABOR BOARD
The Republic decision, inciden-
tally. heartened the Labor Board
more than anything that has hap
pened in months For it was this
case which the Board withdrew in
the spring of 1888, after it had al
ready got into court with it. because
of the Supreme Courts famous rul-
ing against Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace in the Kansas City stock
yards case.
Wallace had set maximum rates
for livestock sales commissions in
the Kansas City yards. The Su-
preme court threw these rates out
on April 25, 1898, holding that Wal
lace had simply taken as his own
the findings of active prosecutors
for the government" and that the
packers had been denied a full and
fair hearing.
BY unmistakable implication. the
decision criticized any and all quasi
judicial agencies which failed to
"act in accordance with the cher
ished tradition embodying the ba-
sic concepts of fair play"
