PEACE OR POLITICS
FOR MR. KENNEDY?

Joseph P Kennedy, efficient ambas-
sador to Great Britain, astute politician
in Democratic councils, says he has re-
signed his diplomatic position in order
to help President Roosevelt keep the
United States out of war.
Conceding that Kennedy may be inspir-
ed partly by that motive, still the thought
persists that the ambassador may also be
looking forward to 1914 and that years
presidential election.
1t would not be a great surprise to any
body if Mr.. Kennedy emerged in 1914 as
Democratic candidate for president
providing, of course, that President
Roosevelt is not able to boost Henry Wal
lace into the White House as he now
seems to want to do But Kennedy, like
a lot of others, knows how much the
Presidents mind changes in four years.
He should-for there was time when
he was generally regarded as Roosevelt's
choice for 1910.
Certain it is that Mr.. Kennedy, private
citizen, will be able to do much more to-
ward furthering his political ambitions,
If he has to swim against the New Deal
tide, than he could do as the Presidents
ambassador to the court of st. James.
It's bit early to be thinking about it
But, anyway, watch Mr.. Kennedy in

AN UNFAILING
BULWARK
(Christian Science Monitor)

(ChrlStan Science Monitor)
A Cornell psychiatrist reminds It's that
sensational news-of war, crime, dlsaS-
ter, violence-if taken in, is likely to set
up nervous or emotional disorders, the
results either of fear or hate engendered
by what one has read or listened to. The
statement is important because of the
multiplicity of sensational events and the
clash of ideologies the world over. In
the United States particularly the warn
ing should apply-although propagan-
died news, such as much of Europe and
Asia feeds upon daily, is as likely to pro-
duce the same effects.
Perhaps the important thing for the
average newspaper reader or radio lis
tener to remember is conveyed in three
words in the first sentence of this editor
ial-"if taken in." Obviously, if the sug-
gestions of danger, insecurity, or impend-
ing evil originating in the news of the mo-
ment find no lodgment in the individual
consciousness, they will not produce i'll
effects What is needed is the under
standing which enables the reader or lis
tener to detect the underlying realities
and to resist the temptation to allow the
evil nature of the news to overwhelm him.
While the manner of its presentation
is sometimes to blame for its effects upon
hearers or readers, even the news itself,
no matter how presented, Is capable OF
the results which Cornell the professor
describes-as related in a recent Chris
tian Science Monitor news item. Hence,
the necessity of guarding ones thought
from being deluged by sense of horror,
hatred, or fear An unfailing bulwark
against the intrusion Of such overpower
ing emotions is the Bible, with its reassur-
ing promises.
What greater comfort could be found
than in these words: ''Whoso hearken-
eth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall
be quiet from fear of evil =. He shall
not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart
is fixed, trusting in the Lord -. Be still,
and know that | am God"

1t is all very well to talk about
a good neighbor policy with Latin
America and to found an Export
Import Bank whose function it will
be to help trade relations with the
countries to the south of the United
States. But something is wrong
when Germany and italy are al
lowed to beat the U. S in the ex-
tremely important battle of the air
Like it or not, radio has become
an immense factor in the field OF
diplomatic strategy and in the battle
for business.
There is danger that the United
States will make the same blunders
in handling Latin America that
Great Britain did in broadcaStS to
the Arabs. 1t came to British notice
that the Italians were sending daily
and nightly broadcasts to the Mos
lem world of the Near East from
a powerful station at Bari. So the
British jumped in to counter broad
cast. But their transmissions bored
the Arabs. The programs were too
British. The Italian ones were
slickly Arabic.
Just about the same thing ap-
parently is happening in the battle
in the air of Latin America. Many
broadcasts from the United States
mean exactly nothing to Latin A
mericanS.
They are in English.
1t appears also that American
broadcasts, even when using Span
ish, think of Latin America as one
community speaking one idiom.
Excluding vast Brazil, whose Ian
guage is Portuguese, the Spanish
spoken in various parts of Latin
America differs widely.
Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay
Chile and Bolivia speak one kind.
Central American and Caribbean
lands speak another. The former
group happens to possess 65 per cent
of the radios.
Only about one-quarter of U. s.
broadcasts are in Spanish. The
Germans and Italians keep up
Spanish programs all day long.
The Axis countries carefully
watch their timing. Americans make

LET'S NOT FORGET
THAT THEY'RE MEN

One of the silliest manifestations oil
American emotionalism to come out OF
the new selective service program Is the
tendency by many persons, IN official as
we'll as in private life, to treat the oral
tees as they would treat adolescent juven-
lies.
Under the floodlight of logic, such at
tempted treatment is insulting to the in
telligence and manhood of this country'S
young males.
Ali the blather about making army
camps "a home away from home" and
about protecting the young trainees
against the bold, bad world will have to
go down the drain pipe if our military
training program is to achieve the goal
set for it. Nine times out of ten the men
from 21 to SO years of age who have been
drafted will be better satisfied when a
lot of us stop looking upon them as boys
of IA or 15, who need coddling and con-
descension.
In the first place, these fellows are
men, not boys.
In the second place, the purpose of
military training is to tougher them for
the job, if the necessity for it ever arises,
of defending this country of ours on the
field of battle. And nobody has yet dis
puted General Sherman's description of
war. Mollycoddles have no place in such
an inferno.
If cartoonists would stop drawing pic
lures of draftees as babyfaced young
sters of grammar school age, and writer's
would stop trying to tie them tightly to
the apron strings of home and fireside,
the job of the military men who have to
train them would be a lot easier-and the
lot of the draftees would be easier, too.
This is not to say that the draftees do
not deserve human consideration and all
the help they can get from their erst-
while fellow civilians. But, for the love
of realism, let's stop regarding them as
persons just out of swaddling clothes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The
Vultee aircraft strike at DoWney,
Calf, has given the labor people in
the defense commission something
pretty serious to think about, in
that the strike settlement has un-
questionably furthered the idea of
legalized, compulsory arbitration for
labor disputes in defense industries,
on a no-strikes-a allowed basis.
In Washington, it was apparent
that there were wheels within wheels
in every phase of the Vultee scrap.
One of the noisiest of these wheels
revolved around the Communists
desire to take Sidney Hillman, la
bor's man on the national defense
commission, and put him m hole
at the Atlantic City C. I. o. con-
vention, running at the same time.
Hillman has long been recog-
nized leader of the moderate
group which fights to lessen Com
munist party influence in the c..
I. o. Communists naturally don't
like him. Recently they have been
needing him heavily on the ground
that he hasn't been protecting la
bor's interests properly in the de-
fense program.
So the idea developed that if
there could be a big strike in a
vital defense industry when the
c. l. O. convened, Hillman could
be discredlted-on the theory that
he'd done so little for labor, that
airplant workers had to strike to
get living wage, and that he was
asking labor for sacrifices but not
asking them of industry.
There we're other factors, of
course, including, on the other side
of the fence, activity by the anti
labor Los Angeles Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, which
feared (probably correctly a gen.
eral hiking of pay rates in west
coast airplane factories if the
strikers won.
L. A. w. SCRAP
A FACTOR
Also involved was an internal
scrap in the United Auto Workers
Union. In Detroit the left-Wingers,
header by Wyndham Mortimer had
been losing ground, and President r.
J. Thomas was generally looked on
as a Hillman man, and hence an
anti Communist. Left-WingerS, look
ing for new fields to conquer, spot
ted the west coast aircraft factories
and suggested a drive. Mortimer
went out to become west coast di-
rector for U. A. w.
The organizing drive at Vultee
took hold well Defense labor eX-
perts in Washington generally agree
that Vultee's 50-cent minimum for
beginners was pretty low, in view
of the fact that Vultee stands TO
make $12,000,0O0 profit on an $780,
100000 contract. 1t was when the
dispute over a contract got to the
showdown stage that the govern
ment experts began to get gray
hairs.
