The truth is that though the League failed in
its main political objectives, it has done splendid
work, with American aid and cooperation and
sometimes with American personnel, in the vast
field of public health; in the study of economic
and financial problems; in the study of social prob
Iems in child welfare, and in other social and sci
entific areas. It's work for intellectual coopera-
ton" has been sadly bghted in continent where
the free intellect is now in chains, but there is
room for it here.
More and more this country becomes the ref
uge of creative minds. Some of their work could
center upon the activities of non-potical League
agencies at Princeton There seems every reason
why temporary shift should be made from Nazi-
threatened Geneva to this peaceful sanctuary.

A COURSE IN FREEDOM
(FrOm the New York TimeS)

IFTOIn INp NOW OTk l IntSD
WHEN the New York schools open next Fall the
W Board of Regents will be obligated under the
McCaflrey act passed at the last session of the
Legislature, to establish a "BilI Of Rights Week,
during which an effort will be made to instll into
the minds Of pupils 'the purpose, meaning and
importance Of the Bill Of Rights in the Federal and
State Constitutions"
1t seems strange that there could be any public
school in the United States especially in the State
of New York. in which this lesson is not i'm
pressed upon all Students Doubtless it has been
in most schools and by multitude of devoted
teachers. But it is worth while concentrating on
it for week There is abundant material in each
days newspapers to dramatizc the meaning, for
each Of us and all Of US, Of the basic rights.
Perhaps the essential lesson is that freedom
does not exist all by itself in a vacuum without
human effort. 1t has to be maintained. If our
maintain it, Mr.. MCCaiirey'S idea will be fruitful

LABOR REPRESENTATION

I ABOR representation on all boards and agen-
IL cies dealing with wage eaners and their in
terests is cardinal principle of the American
labor movement. There can be no valid argument
against the principle labor believes pointing out
that it is in line with democratic practices and
policies.
Conscription is certainly a matter that directly
affects The wage and their vital interests
Drafting of workers for military training and pos
sble service, calls for labor voice in the process
Any conscription act would be woefuly lacking if
it had no provision for labor representation on
national and local boards that select trainees and
fix policies.
Labor representation in government activities
to safeguard democracy, was never more needed
than at present. Labor hopes that Congress fully
realizes this and will be guided accordingly.

WAR VS.. HUMANITY

vNTIE, innocent often suffer most in this world
and that is true in the case Of war. There
will be a famine in Europe this winter, say the
authorities, and only two powers will be compara-
lively immune. Those are the two belligerent
powers-G Germany and England.
Germany has Systematically looted the gran
aries of the countries she has seized And the
English fleet is still adequate to keep her merch-
ant shipping going.
Famine means plague, disease, untold misery.
And if it comes, it means the collapse of the
Eunope we have known. 1t takes many years for
Il people to recover from the effects Of even one
season of starvation and malnutrtiOn
Question is whether this country will help if
famine strikes. We have surplus food aplenty
We could sell it, give it away, or barter it abroad
Yet looking at the problem realistically, we would
thus be fattenng up potential enemies. Is is a
problem where humanitarian considerations, and
our self-interest as a democratic world power in
a dictator-ridden world may prove totally opposed

SUPREME TEST

(From The Magazine of Wall StreeD
A MEXICAN public opinion within the past few
"A weeks has become fully alive to the dreadful
significance that this war holds for the United
States and for western civilization. Suddenly We
find the people leading their elected officials not
following them.
This aroused and united public opinion does not
demand that declare war. 1t does not demand
that we cut the corners and the red tape; come tc
deadly earnest grip with the essentials; provide
the Allies with the greatest possible equipment
and supplies in the shortest possible time; put oul
national defense needs Immediately above every
other consideration 1t does not give damn about
the cost-provided we get adequate results-and it
is more calmly resigned to heroic taxation than
are our politicians.
