NOT ALL VENGEFULNESS

ALFRED DUFF CooPER's militant cry
L \ for war against the whole German peo
ple. that they may know its horrols' 10 un
derstandable, if more vengeful than we "'aiu
ovnoc+ in less irving circumstances from a
British gentleman. Following the pattern "
the last World war, HITLER mas hepC tne
fighting off German soil, and obviously liz
tends to do so as long as he can. II he Is
successful. the German people Will know
nothing Of the ruin war can bring except as
thew read of it in other countries. 1t Will
not be a personal experience.
And if this happens, they will not be
weaned from war thought or unwilling TO 1ol'
low war leadership any more IN the future
than they have been during the quarter cen
fury since the last war ended.
It is DUFF CooPER's thought that the only
future protection against new wars by Ger
many lies in making the German people sui
fer as Germany's war makers have made 9th
err peoples suffer, so that the sounding OF
tocsins in later years will fall on deaf ears.
There is something in this viewpoint besides
buster. The burned child still breads fire.
But what it involves, the destruction of
cities, the slaughter of civilian populations,
the wasting of fields and industries, is not
pleasant to contemplate. And if the DUFF
COOPER proposal were carried out to the letter
all this would be done. There would be some
excuse Tor it in the way the Germans in
1914 despoiled Belgium and in the recent way
they wasted Poland and arg wasting Norway
now.
The British and the French have declared
that the war cannot end until the threat of
End its power for evil is definitely,
removed from the earth. Perhaps
the only way to do it is to treat Germany as
the Germans have treated other lands and
peoples. To do so, however, would bring Ger
man bombing attacks on London and Paris
and other French and English cities with
great slaughter of civilian populations. For
the Germans would not fail to retaliate for
any Allied attacks within Germany.
We're the war councils in Paris and London
to adopt the DUFF COOPER proposal, the pres
ent war would quickly be a war of annihila-
ton. A better way would be to bring their
for the overthrow of HITLER there and fol
low that with such a demonstration of force
in the West that the people Of Germany
rise against the Nazi leaders and, by
ieposing them, save the world from becoming
. shambles.

that its influence may be the greater through
example.
When a publisher so far torgets MS oblga-
ton to his profession, as we'll as the people,
as to become a law violator-in this case, the
greatest income tax offender yet run down
he does an injury t, Journalism as an lnsti-
tuition and to his felIoTy journalists. Thus, his
confession of guilt is a step not only to
save himself but to clear an honorable pro-
fesston of a cloud he has placed upon its rep
utation.
Furthermore, the efficiency with which the
federal agencies have prosecuted their charges
against him is s~alutary. 1t will not fail to
impose a curb upon others who, had he gone
scot free. might want to emulate him and
bring the newspaper business into greater dis
repute even than he.
1t is not probable that Mr.. ANNENBERG's
confession was inspired by penitence. 1t is
more likely that he pleaded guilty to avoid
years of litigation and mounting costs, with
out a chance of escaping punishment. But it
is not to be believed that his experience as a
law y@iolator will not teach him to take sec
ond thought if his seasoned lust for gold
should again tempt him to dodge the law.

CROMWELL A CANDIDATE

JAMES H. R. CROMWELL enters the senatorial
race in New jersey with a big advantage.
Mayor HAGUE's endorsement carries weight,
even though the Jersey City chief executive
has had trouble in recent years to maintain
his leadership. New Jersey has not shaken off
the HAGUE yoke, and what he says carries
tremendous weight. By backing CROMWELL he
assures our present minister to Canada a
sizeable block Of votes.
From this it might be assumed that Mr..
CROMWELL should have easy sailing into the
capitol. And, in fact, he might, except that he
has a highly cultivated talent for sticking his
neck out. He is not always circumspect in
what he says for public consumption, as wit
ness his recent declaration of sympathy with
the Allies in Europe's war and the consequent
furore his utterance started. AS a diplomatic
representative of this country to a foreign
country, the speech was in bad taste.
If his friends, old seasoned politicians,
crafty, and knowing the tricks of their trade,
are able to curb him and supervise his par
ticipation on the platform in his own cam
paign, they may be able to put him across.
But if he gives tongue to his every thought
his election will become a doubtful issue.

THE VIEW

A successor to MARION M. CAsKIE on the
Interstate Commerce Commission is still to
be chosen. 1t is an important post, and it will
be difficult to replace a man of Mr.. CAsKIE's
great qualifications. For this reason it is
necessary that his successor be selected with
a view of filling the place with someone as
near his level as possible. No claims by any
men on political grounds or because a politi-
cal debt has not been paid, should influence
the appointment.
The position of the Southern Governors
Conference, therefore, is well taken. The CON
ference has addressed a letter to the White
House asking only that a Southern man be
named. No individual is mentioned. Repre-
s~entation for the region commonly called
Dixie alone is requested.
Inasmuch as the South is a richly produc-
tive district and its interstate de
serves fair consideration with all other dis
%tricts, it is right that it have a spokesman
in the councils of the group administering
the national transport.

with an uniformed contempt which would be

Duke won the football game. And the Carolina

would be ashamed of it the next day. Lilies

WPA OUT OF POLITICS

Ii Commissioner HARRINGTON of the Works
Progress Administration has his way, WPA
workers will exercise their franchise in the
coming elections without hindrance. He has
sent a letter to all state administrators,
which is to be copied and given employees Of
the administration with their pay check, in
five heads. They are:
/. You are entitled to vote or not vote,
as you choose.
2. No one either connected with or not
connected with the Work Projects Ad-
ministration can get you fired or change
your wages because you do or do not
vote or because you belong to or do not
belong to a political party. 1t is against
the law for anyone to ask you for money
for any political campaign.
3. If you are employed in an admins
tratiVe or supervisory capacity you may
vote as you please aud express privately
your opinions on political subjects. 1t is
against the law for persons who are en-
ployed in an administrative or supervis-
ory capacity to engage in political ac-
tivity or to take an active part or use
their influence directly or indirectly in
political management or political cam
paigns or in political conventions.
4. Every effort will be made to arrange
the working schedules 50 that it will not
be necessary for you to lose time taken
necessary for voting purposes.
5. Voting is your own business. Keep
1t that way.
Adding that he will not tolerate any viola
ton of the regulations, he concludes: 9TH
Works Progress Administration is not il

either directly or indirectly.'

STRAWBERRY CROP

state department of agriculture.
This figure was the same as the
preliminary estimate, though for the

current estimate of 2,SS1,000 Gates
is a 275,0OO reduction below earlier
forecasts.

he dangerous carriers and infect the
baby.
Old people with so-called Chronic
bronchitis'' or asthma may actual
ly have tuberculosis. Coughing,
sneezing or splitting of such indivi-
duals in the presence of children
may be the source of infection. The
bad habit Of allowing fond relatives
and friends to fondle and kiss the
baby has undoubtedly resulted in
many cases of infection.
One of the most frequent causes
of bone, joint and gland tubercu-
losis in the 18th century was the
drinking of ~tuberculous milk. Be-
fore the days of efficient pasteuri-
cation this form Of tuberculosis Was
widespread. The only safe milk to
give to babies and young children
is milk that has been properly pas
teuriZed or boiled.

with tubercle bacilli. This usually
takes place in some of the lymph
glands. If the childs resistance is
high and no other infectious disease
or malnutrition m in to break
down this resistance the tuberculous
infection will remain as the child
hood type. Resistance may break
down, however, at any time from
added infection or from other causes
and the tuberculosis take on the
adult or secondary form in the
bones, joints, lungs and elsewhere.
1t is important to make an early
diagnosis of tuberculosis in child
hood.

may also be acquired by the drinking
of milk from tubercuIous COWS, and
from other infected foods. The tast-
ing of food before giving it to child
rem, using the same spoon, is
especially to be condemned.
The source of infection may be
difficult to determine. Sometimes
a nursemaid or a relative with I'M
suspected tuberculosis coming into
close contact with the baby gives
it the disease. Remember that per-
son with chronic tuberculosis may
have tubercle bacilli in the sputum
and not show any of the usual signs
of the disease. Those persons may

contribution to human knowledge
in the last 10 years has been a
pack of peculiar cards, a cabalistic
term and a series of experiments
by a comparatively youthful pro-
fessor of psychology named Joseph
Banks Rhine"
This, of course, is absurd. The
achievement of Duke university is
one of the greatest in higher edu-
cation in contemporary America. 1t
lies in the fact that in a decade
and a half an important university
has been built almost from the
ground up. This is no reflection on
old Trinity college. But it was a
college only, a small Southern col
Iege of merit but of no Southwide
OF nationwide significance. Today
Duke is one of the great institu-
tons of the South. Such a growth
has been dramatic but as is we'll
known it has also been vigorous
and sound.
