In the informal
and friendly relationship with fathers
and mothers, which is so much a part
of the nursery school atmosphere,
teachers find it possible to know the
family well. and can often be of the
greatest assistance in providing per-
spective and in suggesting helpful
changes in handling meals at home.
When this personal aid is combined
with actual experience at the school
itself a child gets chance to use and
develop his own eating abilities. His
mother sees for herself that he is COM
petent to enjoy not only eating but
many other natural activities, when
his growth is properly fostered. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that we see
many so-called appetite problem"
melt away in the course of few
months.

raj rebellion had brought on hunger
strike which was becoming serious.
Experienced nursery school teach
ers would have understood this resist
ance. They have had chance to see
many young children over long
period of time. and through this obser-
vation have learned to trust and
respect a child's own natural abilities.
They know that eating was meant to
be as simple as breathing, something
to look forward to eagerly. to enjoy
keenly, and to forget when it is over.
1t is because this fact is so often
lost sight of in present-day family
life, that most nursery schools serve
a noon meal. At this meal any young
objector is merely given seat at the
table. along with ten or fifteen others.

machine tools and test the speed of
production. The floor plans of these
plants have, been marked out for
placement of the needed machinery
when the time comes.
The plan sets up a system of pri-
critics so that war necessities always
would come first. War factories
would have first call on raw ma
terials. Freight trains and trucks
would move essential war materials
first. Men would be encouraged, by
higher wages and by deferments
from draft for military service, to
work in plants where their output
would mean most in winning the
war. Money would be regulated in
the same way.
Profits and wages would be con-
trolled so that no worker would
suffer and no capitalist wax fat on
the war effort. Labor would be
called upon to put its shoulder to
the wheel. but it would be protected
from excess demands by a labor ad-
ministration functioning with other
wartime agencies.
Subject to Congress.
Necessarily. as in all warning
countries, individual liberties would
have to be subjugated to the national
will. But the basic democracy of
the procedure would be guaranteed
by the fact that the plan is always
subject to Congress.
Congress. in fact, would have to
adopt legisl' ton to put the plan
into effect. The President would
have to sign that legislation. Right
there is point that has military
men in Washington worried. they
are asking Would he ign it?"
Some months ago the Pres: Ient
appointed War Resources Board"
headed by Steelman Edward j.
Stettinius. jr., to study the plan. The
board did so. and is reliably re-
ported to have approved 1t with ex-
pressions of surprise at how COM
plete 1t was. The President did not

, governments, too, yet neither the
Ethiopian campaign nor the Finnish
war produced such smashing blows
as the Germans delivered in Hol-
land and Belgium.
Further, it was pointed out, all
news dispatches from the Flanders
front stress the greater striking
| power the Germans. have now as
compared to the World War, when
they also had an absolute ruler,
the Kaiser.
The second question that arose
was: If we have a plan as efficient
as all that, why aren't we using
it ourselves?
The answer is that whereas Hitler
could take advantage OF his personal
power to adopt the plan in peace
time and extend it to regiment a
people, the Army and Navy of our
democracy cannot-nor have they
any desire to-use it until war
threatens and Congress gives the
word.
The advantage to this country if
the plan should go into effect would
be that the United States has more
resources than Germany to pour
into it.
Based on World War.
The mobilization plan is one of the
most thorough biueprints ever drawn
up for anything It is based on three
suppositions:
Cd That the people of the United
States, if they must e. to war. want
to win that war as quickly as possible.
(2) That they want to wage war
with as little disturbance as possible
to our civil peacetime life.
90 That when the war is over we
can return to peacetime economy as
quickly and easily as possible.
These three supposltions are de-
rived from our. experience in the
World War. which caught us by sur
prise, disrupted our normal life and
threw thousands out OF employment
when war factories slut down and
the war demand for farm products
subsidized
Consequently, although the plan
(shaped during 20 years of both Re-
publican and Democratic admins
trations) as it now stands, has
marked out every industrial plant
in the country for the part it can
play in war, no plant is scheduled to
turn more than so per cent of its
normal output to war purposes. This
would keep peacetime industry from
shutting down.

WILKES SPEECH

1nat acceptance speech wendell
Willkie is writing is one of the tough
est jobs he's ever tackled! It can
make him or break him.
Willkie has got to crack two of
the hardest political nuts ever hand
ed a G. o. P. standard bearer: the
power issue and foreign policy.
Even under normal conditions the
power issue is pure TINT, particu-
larry in the West, which is strong
for public power. For Willkie, with
his Wall Street and utility back
ground, the handling of this issue so
it doesn't explode in his face is
doubly delicate.
Perhaps even more difficult is the
question of foreign affairs and its
closely related problem of compul-
sorry military service. On the lat
ter, Willkie has never declared him
self and the Republican platform
also is silent.
Roosevelt has declared for uni
versal training" although so far he
has not expressed a view on the
pending bill. But his leaders are
for it and it's generally considered
an administration measure.
On foreign policy, particularly on
aid to the British, the Presidents
record is an open book. And so was
Wilkes until he was nominated.
Since that moment not one word
has come from him on this all-im-
portant topic, though he has talked
daily on various other matters.
It didn't leak out at the time, but
when Willlkie visited Washington
early last month, the G. o. P. iso-
lationists, led by Senator Vanden-
berg, tried to corral the new candi-
date and give him a big isolationist
sales talk; warning him to pipe
down on aiding the British. But
Willkie sidestepped the bloc and they
didn't get a chance to put on the
pressure.
Note-Regardless of what Willkie
says, running-mate Sen. Charles Nc
Nary is isolationist and pro-public
power. He intends to say so in his
acceptance speech late this month.

CONGRESS UNDER GUARD
WASHINGTON.-It has been done
SO quietly that only few officials
know it but congress now is being
guarded by the most elaborate po-
lice system since World war days.
The legislators are protected almost
as carefully as the President.
The first step was taken last fall
when a detail of Omen and detec-
tives was assigned to reinforce the
Capitops regular police force, which
is made up chiefly of patronage ap-
pointees, students working their way
through school. Then in the spring a
squadron of metropolitan uniformed
police was sent to the Hill-making
total of $50 blue-coats and plain
clothes men guarding 53l senators
and representatives.
Last week, still another protective
measure was taken in the form of a
set of drastic regulations under
which:
The Capitol is closed to the
public daily at 4:30, except when
congress is in session, and ad-
mittance is only by special
cards.
Guards are stationed at the
subway entrances of the senate
and house wings to scrutinize
everyone going in and out and
to examine all packages.
The Capitol's power plant is
guarded "a hours a day.
Plainclothes men accompany
every group of sightseers.
All persons who summon
members off the floor are kept
under constant surveillance.
A constant police vigil is kept
in the public galleries, in the
restaurants, and at night, in
all corridors inside, and the
grounds outside.
One reason for these elaborate
precautions is to prevent a recur-
renee of the bombing that took place
in the Capitol prior to American en-
try into the last war. Planted in a
senate reception room by a paci-
fistic college professor, the bomb ex-
ploded at midnight, July 2, 1915,
and left the chamber shambles.
Earlier that day the Washington
Times received a letter from the
perpetrator announcing his intention
to bomb the capitol "as an exclama-
ton point to my appeal for peace"
He was arrested several days later
at Mineola, L. 1. He committed sui
eide in his cell.
