Spotlight on Callander
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The resignation of Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe as one of the guardians of the Dionne quintuplets is inn portant news wherever babyhood remains matter of human concern, which means everywhere. The reaSsuring feature of the announcement is that the doctor will remain personal physician to the five little ladies of Callander
 Father Oliva of the quntuplets- of seven other Dionnets-is reported as hilarious as the thought first that Dafoe is stepping out guardian and second that the numerous family is to be reunited in a single dwelling. At least this is the way many interpret the doctors resignation.
 These are matters which touch delicate family and personal relationships, but their discussion may be justified by the importance of the quintuplets in the social picture of their time That few if any ot skill of the good gray doctor" there is every reason to believe. That, except for him again and the guardianship the government of Ontario, the five even had they lived-woud be far different chil- dren than they are now will also be, conceded
 What will happen to the girls what will happen to sociological experiment of lasting interest to society, if they returned to their parents home?
 Scientists say the individual is a product in part of heredty and in part of environment. The effect of what was done at Caander has been to minimize heredty and eXalt environment in the training of the five girls. Till the result has been to make definitely superior children.
 Many people in many lands would regret to see the quintupets private nursery broken up and the care heretofore given them abandoned. Their own welfare certainly does not require such move. It would bring to a fruitless end a great and useful sociological study

 Heart and Home: Peace should be preached within the family as explosive forces affecting the whole world will be reflected in the do- mestic circle. The spirit of thank fulness should be cultivated as the benefits of citizenship in the Unit ed States are realized.
 Business Affairs: While manu- facturers push work, there may be grave hazards in the distribution of output. Business will be active through the month. Cooperative projects will be widely discussed and easier credit for the masses will be advocated. Methods of in- creasing crop production will in- terest the government as chemis- try develops unusual aids to agri- culture
 National Issues: AS candidates for President of the United States throw their hats into the ring, bit ter criticisms of the adminiStra- tion will cause reaction. Foreign policies will arouse opposition.

Documents of Liberty
Cincinnati Enauirer)

NClnClnndC EnqulTeI)
 Visitors in Washington just now and for the duration of the European are able to see in one place three of the greatest documents of all history pertaining to human liberty. For the fin est surviving copy of Magma Carta, brought to America originally for the Worlds Fair, has been placed in the custody of the Librarian of Congress. It has been placed alongside the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of. the United States lGE Y s@
 Different as they are, all three documents rep resent the highest of human aspirations-to be free men with rights superior to the powers of govern ments Magma Carta to be sure, established only the rights of comparatively small group of per sons as against the previous tyranny of kings. Yet it was the first such manifesto in the long history of Ango-SaXon freedom.
 All three documents have a special significance in our time, for the fundamental idea embodied in them is being challenged afresh, not only in the countries governed by dctators but in the democra- cies themselves. Increasingly there is disposition to barter away liberties in the hope of achieving greater security efficiency.
 Lying side by side in the Library of Congress, these three documents which bulk large in the record of human progress toward freedom, cannot fail to stimulate deeper appreciation of the issues of politics in own day
 Here in America engaged, year after year in attempting to bring order and stability to our economic order without stepping beyond the bounds of free society. Iu Europe the descendants of the authors of Magma Carta engaged in a sanguinary struggle to preserve for the future the security of sef-governing institutions against the inroadS of dictatorship.

ALASKA KEYNoTEs l94o POLITICS

Because of its early date, the Democratic Con- vention in Alaska has effect on the politics of the Nation out of all proportion to the size of the actual vote which will be cast by Alaska Delegates at the National Convention.
 What goes on in Democratic deliberations in Alaska is followed closely in newspapers all over the country because the stand taken by party stall warts the Territory is the first political straw in the big wind which comes up every fourth year. Since 1892, Alaska has snatched from Maine the right to use the old saving, renovated to: "as goes Alaska, goes the Nation"
 When Democrats from Nome Fairbanks Anchor age, Ketchkan and other parts of the Territory convened in Juneau this week they really slipped the 194O campaign out of the ify stage and start ed the business of eliminating many Democratic would be" White House nominees.
 Like the State Conventions which will follow, Alaska Democrats gathered here will elect Dele gates to the National Convention (sx from Aaska), perhaps instruct them for whom to vote, and adopt a party platform for 1940
 Ssa Yesterday, in the Convention keynote address, National Committeeman Jack Hellenthal of Juneau sent up a trial balloon for the candidacy of James A. Farley, balloon which determined group of Democrats here will attempt to puncture in favor of outright declaration for President Roosevelt and third term. No other candidates name has been, or is likely to be, mentioned
 In the absence of any definite word from the President, Democrats everywhere at loss to know what to do about endorsing candidate. No Democrat doubts that President Roosevelt, if he wishes it, have the 1940 nomination But many a Democrat doubts that the President will be a candidate. What to do in such a situation is a problem vexing party men in Alaska and every where National Committeeman Hellenthals sug- gestion is. one which seeks way out. Recognizing that Jim Farley Chairman of the National Com mittee, handled the highly successful Roosevelt campaigns of 1892 and 1886 and is likely to handle the campaign for whoever becomes the nominee in 1940, Hellenthal's suggestion is not much en- dorsement for Farley personally for the office as it is move to hand to him the Alaska votes to do with he sees fit.
 Both Farley and Roosevelt have been true friends of Alaska. In either, Alaska would be get ting President who appreciates the Territory as an integral part of the American picture and not just as a somewhat interesting but very vague

The TOtalitarian Mind
Philadelphia Record)

Copenhagen reports rumors that the Soviet dic- tator, Josef Stalin, is planning purge" of Red army commanders because Russian arms have failed to achieve rapid conquest of Finland. Such rumors would be incredible it not for the fact that Stalin carried out just such process months ago. It is typical of the despot to believe that men can be made courageous by terror.
