WILKES CHATS
STEMMED REVOLT
Chief weapon of the Willkie forces
was the sentiment stirred up by
these clubs. But when the conven-
ton opened a little practical work
on the floor was needed This was
done by an informal, chairman-less
committee composed of Davenport
MacVeagh, Sinclair Weeks of Bos-
ton. and congressman Bruce Bar
ton, Frank Horton and Charles
Halleck A little later Gov. Harold
StaSSen of Minnesota was added
congressman Richard Wegglesworth
of Massachusetts, and Clifford Hope
of Kansas also took a hand.
The SLOW but steady build-up OF
Wlllkie strength in the balloting
was MaCVeagh's idea, and StaSscn
whom one of the Committee la
ter called "thc best executive I have
even seen was tower of strength
IN guiding operations ON the floor
during the whole voting. But it
was typical Of the whole business
that there was no ono boss.
Throughout, Mr.. Willkic himself
was his own best asset. This was
amply proven by the revolt of
western congressman early in the
convention. A large number of
these men, inspired mostly by
doubts on Mr. Wilkes foreign
policy and opposition to the Hull
reciprocal trade program, hot footed

Wlllkle boom. Such men as Hope

THINK But DON'T
WORRY ABOUT WAR

1t would be absurd to advise anyone
not to think about the war and its back
ground and its causes and its possible
outcome. People only progress and I'M
prove and grow in mental stature by
thought.
But We should be careful not to let
the war "get us down" In other words,
study the war in all its phaSeS-keep
abreast of the times. But don't get to
the worrying point, That's eminently
sane advice.
Medical journals report rise IN the
number of mental cases requiring treat
ment in the last two months. 1t may be
due to too much Respondent broodng
about the war. especially among younger
men and women.
This. of course does nobody any good
One cannot shut eyes and ears to what
is going on in the world. That would
be unwSC even if one could do It, But
mere depression over things beyond the
individual control does no good, either
to the individual or in solving the prob
lem.
Every generation and every time has
had its problems and its tragedies. The
only course is to do what must be done
and do it with vigor and a clear head.
Beyond that, people do we'll to work hard
at their jobs, indulge IN all customary
recreation and play, and try as far as
possible to avoid worry. Even if the
worst happens. is it not bad enough to
endure that without having gone through
it in imagination a thousand times be-
fore?

The Republican convention Is

soon to come. The organized cheer
ing, the bands, the banners, the
parading delegates, the monkey
shines and noisy hullabaloo will
subside. The discarded banners and
badges will be swept up from the
floor and gutter.
The usual crop of "outraged-dig-
nifty" pieces have been written. This
is no way, insist .Omc of these wri.
tiers. for great nation to con-
duct its affairs. There should be
order solemnity, dignity.
Perhaps. And yet
There is something about these
treat quadrennial political circuses
that is really American. They are
great and sprawling as America it
self is great apd sprawling. They
are gusty and hearty, as our great
land Is gusty ana hearty. They
throb with certain luSty vitality
And so does the country which in
-and-ready sort of way
they represent in action.
William Philip SimmS, veteran
foreign correspondent for the
Scripps- Howard newspapers, drop

Literally dropped IN, we mean, for
he came to it direct from the clip
per which brought him from Eu-
rope. Simms, citizen Of the world
had always looked on these con-
ventions with faint diStaSte, just a
little ashamed that his country

PLANES. AVIATION, INSURANCE

This country is striving to increase
airplane production as rapidly as possible
as a part of preparedness 1t is also
striving to produce flyers who can handle
those planes An airplane without
pilot is just as useless as no alrplane at
all.
Evidence of this intensive training pro-
gram is observable on all sides. High
school and Junior College students are
being induced to take training courses.
The government foots the bill.
Young flyers are being trained by the
hundreds in recognized aeronautlcal
schools. The government foots the bill.
Meanwhile. a lot of former flyers, or
partly trained flyers who previously have
had some air-eXperience and could be of
material service in manning flying units,
are staying glued to the ground. Not
that they wouldn't like to fly. But they
have dependents whom they protect with
insurance and the terms of the insurance
policies prohibit flying. In other words
the policies cover death by just about
every other means than when flying a
plane.
The government should not overlook
the possibility Of finding many addition
al prospects, by arranging with the in
surance companies to lift the prohibi
ton. IT should help 10 provide flying
personnel right at a time when needed.

NATIONAL DEFENSE FROM
INDUSTPY'S POINT OF VIEW
[ RlVerSidl Press


While we are talking of national pre-
paredneSs and wondering how it can be
accomplished in the shortest possible
time, the National Association of Manu-
facturerS comes forward and in full
page advertisement in Washington papers
endeavors to show how Americans must
face the facts of preparedness with the
construction of armament in vast guam
titles
We believe our readers will be inter
ested in a portion at least OF what this
advertisement portravS, and we are there
fore reprnting a few paragraphs with
the consent of the Industrial Information
Bulletin:
Production for defense. the need of the
hour. does not depend solely on gigantic
appropriations.
1t calls for speed in formulating and
Standardizng. specifications for the mill
tary equipment required.
1t calls for speed in obtaining raw ma
tcrialS.
1t calls for prompt placement of pre-
paredness orders so that production may
get under way speedily. 1t will be dam
aging W 1Sdl uelcHSc, disappointing W a
deeply concerned nation and unfair to
industry to expect clouds of airplanes,
and thousands of tanks to roll off the
production lines in week or two. You
can't appropriate" a battleship, tank
or an airplane-you can only appropriate
the money. 1t takes months to blue print
the designs, more months to make the
tools needed and still more months to
turn out the finished product. In all
probability it will take from Is months
to years to produce the equipment nee
essary even to approximate the require
ments of reasonable national defense.
1t calls for granting of full authority
to practical, experienced men to carry
out these programs promptly and effec-
lively.
1t calls for prompt government action
to encourage the flow of private capital
into industry so that new plants may be
built swiftly and old ones converted for
military production. Governmental rules
and accounting regulations should be re-
vised to permit the rapid wiping off of
such investments before they become viz
tually valueess when the emergency is
passed. Private citizens will thus be
encouraged to invest their savings and
thereby reduce the burden on the tax
payer.
1t calls for the removal of such legis-
lative and administrative restrictions as
military and industrial experience have
demonstrated to be barriers to maximum
production. This does not involve the
surrender of any sound social gains.
1t calls, above all else, for the utmost
cooperation between government. labor
industry and the public.
American industry will do It's part Al
though il abhors war and urges every
possible effort compatible with national
safety TO keep out Of war, American in
dustry pledges its knowledge. its expert
ence. and its productive capacity in the
program for national defense now before
the American people.
We believe the people should under
stand fully the problems which the coun-
try is facing in this preparedness pro-
gram especially so from industry's view
point We believe the public's under
standing of these facts is VITAL To assist
in this understanding is the purpose Of

WASHINGTON. July 5.-If Wen
dell Willkie campaigns for the cleo :
ton the way he campaigned for
the nomination. the people OF the
republic are in for an interesting
summer-and the politicians are
in for some more surprises.
All of the old rules were discarded
in the primary campaign. BY every
canon OF political practice, the
campaign should have fallen in its
ear. But the happy bunch of poll
teal amateurs who did the job
simply invented new kind OF
game and played it like masters.
Somewhat uneaSlly, the Demo-
Gratis in the capital are wondering
if this new kind of game is going
to continue right through the cam
paign. The new technique the
Willkie people set up may be hard
one for old-timerS to master.
The Willkie boom started in April
under the guidance of three men,
Russell Davenport. who had just
resigned AS editor of Fortune, Charl-
ton MaCVeaGh, a GrOton and Har.
ward man who had been learned
economist for a Now York bond
