lyy These who plan and administer
any phase of the Girl Scout program
or organization are responsible first
for the girl and her welfare in scout
ing, and second to society for the
girl. The first responsibility i'm
plies that the organization build,
maintain and administer program

useful, stimulating and inspiring to
the girl" Mrs Littlefield continued.
THE second responsibility implies
that the adult members clearly UNI
derstand the purpose of the Girl
Scout movement, adhere to it in all
that they do, and make it clear to
others. Since Girl Scout Scoutin4T
exists to serve all girls and on this
basis receives general public up
port, not merely the support Of one
race, class or creed, Girl Scouting
will see to it that its activities are
at all times guided by the funda-
mental Girl Scout principles of
service, friendliness, justice and toll
erance for all.
1t was upon these principles and
ideals that Girl Scouting was found
ed, and it is upon these principles
and ideals that it has built for q
years.

give them tasks to do that they can fulfill
without having changes made every day the
political winds change or the political storms
gather.
We need business man with an under
standing of human problems. We need
business man who has led large enterprise
successfully before, who has applied the rigid
rules of business discipline and yet has re-
tanned the loyalty and enthusiasm of his
thousands of employees.
We do not need experience" with the pO-
litical intrigues Of Europe or the political in
trigues of brain-trusters, radicals or Com
munists in our midst. We need fearless in
dividual whose experience has been in the
domain of production and amid the tools of
modern industry which are the backbone of
mechanical army, navy and air force.
President Roosevelt has had eight years in
which to demonstrate whether he can be a
leader of all classes He has proved him
self leader of the politicians and a foe of
industrial management. He is acknowledged
to be the shrewdest, cleverest politician who
ever sat in the White House. In normal
times this is no handicap. In war times 1t
is positive danger
What, for instance, do we hear in these
closing days of the campaign? What new
trick will the President try?" This is an oft
repeated phrase.
The talk this week is that he will send
Flying fortreSses" abroad in a sensational
pre- election gesture, or that he will bring on
some new crisis. Why should the public be
talking this way? What has brought such
an attitude of profound distrust of the mo-
tives Of President of the United States?
II started with an era of deception such as
only politicians rationalize into justification.
While damning the business men as economic
rOyalists, the Administration unlaWfully ac-
cepted campaign contributions from big cor
porations given government contracts.
While processing not to be candidate for a
third term and announcing it through his
spokesman at the convention on one night,
the President on the next day accepted the
draft of a convention which his own ap
p0intees controlled.
While declaring that he was too busy to
make speeches for political purposes and
would make defense inspection trips, he
summoned to his train local political leaders
and toured streets far away from factories
in order to campaign actively.
While arguing that he wants peace in the
world, he has denounced as unpatriOtic and as
guilty of "appeasement" those who oppose his
candidacy, notwithstanding the fact that he
himself before the Munich conference went
along with "appeasement."
! Instability, Inconsistency, political chicanery
are not the attributes of a trustful leadership.
Why, If experience in foreign policy is SO
essential, was not C0rdell Hull nominated for
the Presidency at the Chicago convention?
Who, more than Mr. Hull, knows the init
mate details of foreign affairs? And is it
supposed for one minute that ii Mr.. Willkie,
when elected, summons to his side the pres

for any political reason to give him or new

Secretary of State the benefit of the knowl-
edge and experience gained during his Of
fetal career. Only those who do not know
the patriotism and sincerity Of CordelI Hull
will assume that he will sulk in his tent.
ALL PERSONNEL WILL COOPERATE
UNDER NEW CHIEF
AS a matter OF fact, when elected, we may
look forward to Mr.. WILKES continued pres
encc in Washington from the very week after
election. He will sit by the side of key ex-
ecutives and officials and pick up the threads
of detail. All through November December
and January he will have the benefit of the
knowledge Of current happenings on the in
side and even thereafter he will be able to
retain as advisers anybody whom he may
wish to draft out OF the present Administra-
ton.
Many of us feel that Mr.. WilIkie in the
transition era will not repeat the blunder Mr.
Roosevelt made in November 1882 when
President Hoover begged him to sit down and
discuss the intimate details of the banking
situation. The bank holiday might have been
averted, the loss of billions Of dollars Of saw
ings might have been avoided if MIR. Roose-
Welt had not chosen to play politics.
There will be cooperation between the out
going and incoming administration in Wash
ington because patriotism will demand it.
PROPER INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION
CAN BEAT HITLER
But the most important development will
be the inspiration that will be given to the
personnel of government itself, the many
non political, hard working officials who are
not interested in political propaganda or
tricks but in getting the job done.
The Defense Commission will take on new
life because it will have a business leader
to go to for decisions and not dabbler in
politico- economic theories and believer in
class friction. What is needed now is some
one who understands production, bottlenecks
and shortages of mechanical equipment some
one who can cut red tape and fearlessly get
things done irrespective of whether they hurt
or help him politically.
America has before it a business task of
colossal proportions.
: When you are ILL., you send for doctor
When you get into legal difficulties, you send
for lawyer. And when you want industrial
production to give those drafted boys the
guns, the tanks the shells, the arpIanes and
the submarines and Warships needed to save
human life, you want a master of industrial
production who knows how to mobolize ma
terials as we'll as men.
Our defense program has begged down.
Our navy, our air force and our mechanical
weapons are still ION order and will continue
to be until we put in the White House the
man who can beat Hitler at his own game

WHO is ROGER MURRAY

WHO is ROGER MURRAY
Inquiries have been abroad
during the past few days as
to the background of Roger
S. Murray, democratic nomi-
nee for Acknowledgements.
Many are under the impress
sion he is in some way related
to James E. Murray, Junior
United States Senator from
Montana, but such is not the
case.
The reason democrats are
vague as to his identity is be-
cause Murray previously had
been linked with a different
party--the Communist party.
Records show that at the
general election of November
8. 1882. Murray, who resides
at Clancy, was a Communist
candidate for congress from
the first Montana district and
received 297 votes.

vigor display self-reliance and rest upon
his capacity to meet emergencies as they

socially and individually, is true sense
of direction. Does that depend solely
on the accident of circumstance and the
ever-changing balance of conflicting in
terests? Or is there available for man,
II he so will, guidance on his dark and
dangerous course from some wisdom
higher than his own?" One of the tragic
circumstances of life is that too fire.

Hatch Act Offshoot

Residents of nearby Maryland and
Virginia can be expected to line up
squarely behind the move of Repre-
sentative Sasscer, Democrat, of Mary
land to permit Government en-
ployes to hold local municipal posi-
tions in the towns near Washington.
For one of the unfortunate effects
of the Hatch Act has been to deprive
many nearby towns of the services
of experienced and able officials.
An amendment already has been
attached to the pending bill to ex-
tend the Hatch ban to State en-
ployes, which would give the Civil
Service Commission authority "in
special and unusual circumstances"
to permit Federal employees in Mary
land and Virginia to enter local poll
tics and hold Office.
Mr.. Sasscer, however, has present.
ed another amendment which spe-
cifically would permit Federal work.
ers in towns within so miles of Wash
ington to campaign for and hold Of
fees paying less than 5000 year.
He believes that such legislation
would be more satisfactory than the
former amendment because the Civil
Service Commission might set too
strict limits on the circumstances un-
der which the nearby Government
workers could participate in town
administrations
Furthermore, he believes that his
proposal has chance of passage If
the rest OF the pending Hatch bill
is defeated. Because of those fac
tors the Sasscer proposal merits
support.
