The "Me Too" Candidate
Philadelphia Record)


 Candidate Wendell Willke ought to be compelled to eat between now and election, several tons of editorials articles and speeches made by Republican leaders in recent years denouncing the New Deals farm program.
 No New Deal measure has in for more smart aleck ridicule, more redundant indignation than the policy of paying farmers for what they didn't produce, whether such payments were or were not in the guise of soil conservation fees.
 The farm program has been the basis for the economy of scarcity charge leveed against the New Dea-the charge that is supposed to form the philo- sophie basis for the high minded COP. campaign against the New Deal.
 And now we have Candidate Wkie pledgng himself to continue the New Deal farm program if elected, unless better program lis gradually developed"
 Whatl Can MT. Wilkie. the darling of the re- actonaries be one of those Wild Men who think we can save the country by paying farmers for not producing? Is he, too contaminated with the econ omy of scarcity? It has been called utterly im- moral" that the New Deal supplies cash benefits to farmers for limiting agricultural production.
 Is MT Willkie utterly immoral when he favors the same course?
 The New Deal has been accused of outright bribery of the vote because of this farm pro- gram.
 Is MT Willke promising to buy the same farm vote with the same sacred funds of the public treasury?
 The truth is that the farm program was attacked because it was easy to attack It isn't logical It doesn't fit with our general trend of economic life.
 But that defect springs from the deepest social causes causes that no government can quite reach.
 Even the best friends of the New Deal don't like the farm program But they know that nothing nearly as effective be worked out. Democrats have tried to do so and Republicans have tried Theorists have tried and notable for their prac- tical knowledge and their common sense have tried
 That great statesman, Herbert Hoover had a farn at aS The difference between them was that Hoovers didn't work and the New Deals did.
 The problem was to the farmers from fore closure bankruptcy and tenantry-not merely as a favor to farmers but for the sake of the stability of the whole nation.
 President Roosevelt found way to do that after years of Republican failure. Now Candidate Willkie says, Me, too"
 After years of denunciation of the New Deal hasn't the COP. anything better to offer than the continuation of a distinctive New Deal policy on agriculture?
 Willkie until nominated, favored the New Deal foreign policy He now announces that he favors the New Deal farm policy His agents are trying desperately win Roosevelts former supporter John L. Lewis of the CLIO
 There seems to be only one important issue be- tween Willke and Roosevelt: Roosevelt is in and Wilkie wants to get in.

epic poetry or even good adventure story. The tale of the Bearn's wanderings now revealed in out line for the first time is something of naval Odyssey. It is too good story to be buried among the mountainous chronicles of this war.
 The Bearn's mission seemed prosaic enough when she left Halifax last May bound for Brest with 100 planes But out the Atlantic flash brought the unbelievable news that the Germans had invaded Brittany Brest unsafe; the Bearn was re- routed to Bordeaux only to arrive just as France was in dissolution and the German Army near So the great warship steamed southward again. past the hot sands of Africa, to Casablanca-but that, too, turned out to be trap with the Petan government n control Finally, the Bearn headed across the Atlantic again and reached the end of her voyage at Martinique.
 What adventures she encountered what heart breaking decisions her commander had to take, what ewilderment must have beset her crew-these things ye are not yet permitted to know The last war gave us the epic of the Czech legionaries, but this war will also have it's great stories for future telling The story of the Bearn should be one of them.

HALLECK'S DILEMMA

It hasn't come out into the open yet, but stormy undercover row is raging inside the House Labor Board Investigating committee over whether it should continue it's sleuthing or call it day.
 The committees liberal minority Representative Arthur Healey of Massachusetts, and Abe Murdock of Utah-are insisting on the latter They hold that since the NLRB probe has been finished, the con- mittee should turn back its $30,00O of unspent taxpayers money and quit.
 But Chairman Howard w. Smith Virginia, who has secret ambitions to run for Governor next year, is dead set against this. He wants the committee to continue operating by going after racketeering in labor organizations.
 Murdock and Healey are not op- posed to combating labor racketeer- ing, but contend that this is en- tirely beyond the authority of the committee. Also. they charge that Smiths secret aim is to make poh- tical capital for himself at the expense of the AFL and CIO. Back

Benefic aspects rule today, The morning is especially favorable for the pushing of ambitious projects Persons engaged in important work affecting the destinies of large numbers of employees are well di- rec6ed by the stars.
 Heart and Home: Straight think ing is imperative at this time when the young should be protected against prejudices. Hate has over turned the world and now, in judg- ing our enemies, charity must pre- vail. Gross materialism has brought about endless human misery. Spiri- tual forces must overcome evil Return to the faith upon which democracy has been built must be encouraged through strict and lov- ing home teachings.
 Business Affairs American trade will continue to be good as eco homie revolution threatens. Efforts to coordinate the merchandising of products of North and South Amer ica will meet serious obstacles, but benefits will evolve. In the au- tumn commerce will assume novel phases that will be profitable to the United States. Despite the sum- mer prosperity, thrift is advised with emphasis since money prob lems are to affect all the people as taxes multiply.
 National Issues: Partisan conflict will reveal the effects of political propaganda, but the wisdom of united effort for the future well fare of the nation will be generally recognized Training of the youth of the nation for carrying out ot the preparedness program will prove successful despite opposition in which subversive agencies gain influence Conscientious pacifists should be on guard lest they be used by enemies of democracy.

CONGRESS POKER

Favorite relaxation after a hard day in Congress is a snappy game of stud poker.
 The Capitol Hill poker frater- nity, of which Vice-President Jack Garner is the dean, includes all shades of political affiliations. Re- publicans, Progressives, Democrats anti-New Deal Democrats, isolation ists, national defense advocates. all play around the same table.
 One reason for this is strict rule that controversial issues are never discussed. This wise ukaSe however, was temporarily violated the other night when some of the boys got together.
 Players included Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana, isolationist leader, who sat next to Senator Ed Burke, co-author of the con- scription bill and lame duck Will kie-Democrat. Near them were House Democratic Whip Pat Roland of Pa., and handsome Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois, champion of Roosevelt's foreign and defense policies.
 During the course of the evening Wheeler and Burke found them selves frequently "in the middle;;' that is, stuck with losing hands be- tween raises and re-raises by Lucas

NUTS AND BOLTS

So the Cleveland Plain Dealer has come out for Wendell Willke!

ing Smith is Harry N. Routzohn Ohio Republican.
 All of which is very embarrassing for Representative Charles Halleck curly-haired Indiana first-termel and Willkie's noIninator at the Philadelphia convention. With the other committee members lined uI evenly, two. to two, Halleck has the deciding vote. Ordinarily, there would be no special significance ir this. But as one of Willkie's clos est political advisers, if Halleck votes for the probe Smith is try ing to put over, then it's sure to raise howls in labor circles.
 In the past, Halleck has taken a middle-of-the-road position in the committee, but this time he will have to cut the line clean.
 NOTE The drastic NLRE amendments jammed through the House months ago under Smiths maneuvering are still slumbering ir the Senate Labor Committee ano will continue to do so. Senator FL bert Thomas, Utah chairman of the committee, has no intention oi taking up the legislation and it is doomed to expire with this Congress next January.

 Say, this is getting uncanny Burke and I seem to be getting nowhere. We contribute to every pot, but either you or Pat always hold the winning hand You boys aren't using signals on us, are you?"
 Now, Burt" drawled Lucas imp ishly How can you say that? You know this is what we always do to isolationistS and bolters."
 Loudest guffaw came from pom padoured Gene Cox, arch anti-New Deal Congressman from Georgia but no bolter or isolationist.

N. Y. FEDERATION
ENDORSES I'D. R.;
BARS REDS, NANS

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-The New
York State Federation of Labor, in
one of the greatest conventions of its
history, voted to endorse President
Roosevelt for reelection and to ex-
clude Communists, Nazis and Fas-
cists from seeking or holding office
in the federation.
The convention condemned the fed
eral antitrust prosecutions of labor
organizations and called upon the
government ito put an immediate stop
to these attacks which have served
only to bring about undeserved and
unjustifed shame to the labor move
ment and which can have only the eff
feet of destroying the standards of the
building trades workers."
Among the speakers at the conven-
tion were President William Green and
Secretary Treasurer George Meany, of
the American Federation of Labor;
Governor Herbert II. Lehman, Mayor
La Guardia, Senator Mead and a large
number of other public officials.
President Green declared that or
ganized labor will oppose conscrip-
tion until such time as the voluntary
system of recruiting men for military
service proves inadequate The only
persons now opposing the defense pro-
gram, he said, were the supporters of
Hitler, Stain and Mussolini. He en-
phasized that the A. F. L. was "un-
compromisingly behind the President
of the United States" in support of
national defense, and added:
"All that we ask in return is that
the standards that have been set up
as a result of our efforts-the wage
hour act, the Wagner act, the Walsh
Healey act, social security laws, un-
employment relief and vocational edu-
cation-that none of these standards
shall ever be lowered"
Mr.. Meany urged labor to cooper
ate in the defense program and to be
prepared to make sacrifices. Above
all, he added, 1--WE must protect and
maintain the gains labor has made in
the legislative field in the last sixty
years.
The convention proclaimed it's soil
darity with the organized workers of
Great Britain in their struggle to de-
feat Hitlerism.
Speaking for 100000 unionists in
this state, the convention addressed
formal cablegram to the British
Trade Union Congress, through Err
nest Bevin, Minister of Labor in the
Churchill Cabinet, pledging the full
moral support of the workers of New
York in Great Britain's contest with
Germany.
