Universities and Defense

That American universities are
making an appropriate contribution
to national defense is evidenced in
the announcement by Secretary
Hopkins that State universities
participating in the cooperative
business research plan of the De-
partment of Commerce have already
undertaken forty-five projects of
value to the arms program. Many
other projects will be initiated soon.
In directing the preparedness effort
of the United States, the National
Defense Commission needs as COM
plete an inventory as possible of the
Nations economic resources. With
their Staffs of trained researchers,
universities are we'll fitted to assist
in this important work.
The studies now under way, or
completed by faculty members and
graduate students, cover a wide
range. They include surveys of
strategic industries, analyses OF basic
commodities and resources and esti-
mates of the industrial potentialS OF
various States and regions. The Uni
versity of Indiana, for example, has
made a study of the problems of
financing aircraft manufacturing
plants, to show how rapidly eX~
panding industry has obtained capi-
tai during a period when conditions
in the security markets, in general,
have been unfavorable. The Uni
versity of Florida has completed
survey of ocean shipping services
available for the trade of Latin
America, with particular stress on
the effects of the European war on
Latin American trade and shipping.
The University of Virginia now has
under way a comprehensive analysis
of the economics of cotton and the
University of Oklahoma has just
finished a study of the American
petroleum industry.
In its research plan, the Depart
ment of Commerce has recognized
the advantages of decentralization.
Because of their familiarity with
local conditions, economists on the
staff of a State university seem
better equipped to make State or
regional surveys than Government
researchers in Washington. The plan
has the further merit Of making
available to the National Defense
Commission, during the present
emergency, the research facilities Of
many universities.

COURAGE THAT PREVAILS
By the Right Rep James E. Freeman d. ILL., d. C. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

In days Of testing and perils we are
compelled to think seriously about the
things that constitute the sources of our
strength and endurance. Under ordi-
nary conditions we are less given to deep
reflection. It is universally true that
the real elements Of strength disclose
themselves more in days of trial than
In days of ease. 1t is then that fortitude,
courage, the power to resist and triumph
over difficulties serve us we'll These
qualities are not born of wishful think
ing, they do not grow out Of careless,
carefree living. People who live soft, Sc
queStered lives cannot meet reverseS or
adversely in any form, because they have
nothing to sustain them in times of dis
appointment and disaster
Two characters that in the World War
arrested attention were Edith Cavell and
Cardinal Mercier: the first dared in the
face of supreme difficulties to serve her
country; the second by the strength and
courage of his superb faith to defend his
helpless people. Both will live in the
hearts of an admiring and applauding
world for what they possessed of moral
courage.
Recently another notable example of
Christian faith and courage was exhibit
ed by distinguished English statesman,
namely Viscount Halifax. Faced with
situation more appalling than his coun-
try had known for generations, he spoke
to the British Empire in unforgettable
words. There is such nobility of thought
in his address that great secular paper
says. His language had the fine quality
of the Scriptures themselves" In this
remarkable utterance he asks the ques-
tion: Where will God lead us?" and
answers: mot, we may be sure, through
easy or pleasant paths. That is not His
way. He will not help us to avoid our
difficulties. What He will do is to give
to those, who humbly ask, the spirit that
no dangers can disturb. The Christian
message to the world brings peace in
war; peace where we most need it, peace
of SOUL
Turning to the practice and value of
prayer, Lord Halifax SAYS: Prayer is not
only asking God for what we want, but
Evening star., 1940-08-25

rather the way to learn to trust Him, to
ask that we may know His will, and do
it with all our strength. If we can really
do our work, whatever 1t is, as well as
we can in Gods sight, it will become His
work, and we can safely leave the issue
in His hands. We shall go forward see
ing clearly both the splendor and the
perils Of the task, but strengthened by
the faith through which, by Gods help,
as we try to do His service, we shall pre-
vail"
Notable words these from Christian
statesman who faces perils calm, serene
and unafraid. He exhibits the kind of
courage of which Christ spoke when,
after affirming that dire misfortunes and
tragedies should come to men, He said:
When these things begin to come to
pass. then look up and lift up your head"
1t was to challenge the best in men, to
endue them with. qualities of mind and
heart that should enable them to tri-
umph over all misfortunes, that He gave
them the promise of His abiding friend
ship.

strong virtues that Christian faith in
spires. 1t cannot place its confidence in
material things, wealth, power, arma-
ments and men, and feel secure Indi-
vidually and collectively We cannot sur
vive nor free ourselves from recurring
mental panics without that kind of moral
courage which Lord Halifax exemplifies
so splendidly in his call to the British
people. The two titanic forces that are
in mortal conflict today are those of
might and physical force on the one
hand, and Christian faith and lofty
moral courage on the other. There is
consistency in we'll guarded house, but
it takes something other than the pre-
paredness which arms and men supply,
to give security and peace. If we are to
have peace where We most need it yes,
peace in war" as Halifax expresses it,
We must be strengthened by the faith
through which, by Gods help, We shall
prevail" 1t may be that, like another,
We shall ''see God in the tragedies of our
life but if tragedies come to pass we
shall look up and lift up our head" be-
lieving that our redemption is at hand.

Pilot Training

Beyond the battle of the bottle
necks" now being Waged to put the
United States into a warplane pro-
duction program large enough to
insure security, the Nation may find
itself in the throttling grip of an
other bottleneck the adequate
supply of trained military pilots.
Testimony by Major General Henry
H. Arnold, Chief of the Army Air
Corps, Just released by the Senate
Appropriations Committee, is not re-
assuring. General Arnold says that
the present Air Corps program will
provide only 1000 trained pilots by
October l, 1941. BY that time, he
estimates, approximately the same
number of combat airplanes should
be on hand. Aviation leaders have
pointed out that 1000 pilots are not
enough to man 1000 airplaneS, since
modern bombardment airplanes of
two and four engine types require
two pilots and may compose up to
fifty per cent of the airplane strength
of the air force.
Moreover, experience dictates the
wisdom of having at least two full
crews for each combat airplane,
since endurance of the modern air
plane is far greater than that Of
personnel. There is need of pilots
for training and replacement pur-
poses, in addition. The Army Air
Corps expects, by next May, to be
training pilots at the rate of 1000
a year. If the 50,OOOwarplane air
force is to be anything more than
mere talk, force of at least 100000
pilots will be necessary, it is esti-
mated. At the rate to be attained
next spring, after the present ex-
pansion of the training program is
finished, it would require fourteen

we'll be underscored again and again
for emphasis.
But despite the obvious truth of
President Ortiz's remarks it is not
easy to blink the fact that fraud
scandals do undermine confidence in
democratic processes, and one cannot
forget the Paris riots of February 6,
1884, which grew out of the Stavisky
pawn shop scandal, nor the doubts
it raised about Frances democratic
system. Malfeasance of public serv-
ants always presents new challenge
to democracy, and Argentina's cur
rent difficulty is no exception.

Central Ambulance Bureau

The proposal by Health Officer
George C. Rutland for a centralized
twenty -four-hour ambulance control
service under some District agency
merits the serious consideration Of
the Commissioners.
DR.. Rutland would establish a
bureau to receive all calls for am
balances. A dispatcher" in the bu-
reau would then relay the call to the
ambulance service nearest the scene
The bureau would be placed under a
municipal department or agency,
presumably in the belief that such a
service, like police and fire protec-
tion, should not depend on private
discretion. Since a survey has re-
vealed that many persons call an
ambulance when they merely need
a physician, DR.. Rutland has further
proposed that the centralized bureau
be authorized to enlist the services
of fourteen Health Department ply
sicians, who could answer this type
of call.
Accepting DR.. Ruhland's judgment
that there is already sufficient
number of ambulances here, his pro-
posal would seem to have the fol-
lowing merits: In the first place, it
would not be especially expensive
since only salaries for maintenance
Of the dispatcher on twenty-four-
hour basis and revision of present
District contracts with various local
hospitals would seem required. Sec
Ondly, it would eliminate a situation
occurring not infrequently under the
present setup whereby different per-
sons calling different hospitals have
brought more ambulances than
needed to the scene of accidents. 1t
would also do away with many of
the needless ambulance calls where
medical care for minor injuries, not
disqualification, is needed. Thirdly
record keeping would be simplified
on the basis of which future adjust
ments can be made. and, in the
fourth place, by judicious "dispatch-
ing" of available ambulanceS, it
should be possible to prevent recur-
renee of instances such as that which
brought the whole problem to the at
tention of the public-the case of
victim who waited nearly fifty min
utes for an ambulance to reach the
scene of an accident.

Harry Hopkins Goes

The White House decision to offer
Jesse Jones the post of Secretary of
Commerce, which Harry Hopkins is
vacating. will give the country-as-
Suming that Mr. Jones accepts the
offer-the first businessman Secre-
tary of Commerce it has had since
the Roosevelt administrations be-
ginning. For the first time in more
than seven years the Commerce De-
partment would have forceful
leader And for the first time in the
history of the continental Solidar-
ity" policy the country could expect
confidently the development and
pursuit at last of an inter- American
economic policy commensurate with
the inter-American political policy
which has been fostered with great
success.
AS Federal Loan Administrator, Mr.
Jones has been intimately concerned
with the work of the Export rt-Import
Bank. The bank has been the head
quarters for what working inter-
American economic program the ad-
ministration has produced. Mr.. Hop
kinS long ago indicated that his de-
partment was preparing broader
program, but it has never jelled
What Mr.. Hopkins, i'll in health,
seldom at his office, could not do
there is every reason to think that
Mr.. Jones can do.
President Roosevelt appointed Mr..
Hopkins to the cabinet in December,
1888. 1t was two months later when
the Senate after hearings on his
record as chief of the w. P. A., con-
firmed his appointment. The date
almost conceded with the onset of
illness which prevented Mr.. Hopkins
from ever having an opportunity to
take an active part in the direction
of the Commerce Department. Mr..
Hopkins had ambitious plans for his
department. He enviSioned it as the
embassy at which the American buSi-
neSsman and the administration
could resolve their differences. How
ever, Mr. Hopkins. whose experience
gave him no qualifications to under
stand the wishes of the American
businessman, never realized his wish.
The Commerce Department con-
tinued to function at slow pace in
a routine rut When Mr.. Hopkins
health did improve, he emerged not
as an envoy to business but as the
Presidents ambaSsadOr-a at-large to
politicians.
MIR. Hopkins is an extraordinary
person, whose like has seldom been
known in the American Government.
The full meaning Of his relation to
the New Deal, its policies and its
politics, may be disclosed at some
future day when the letters and
journals of our time find their way
into publication. Certainly at the
last hour Mr.. Hopkins performs z
striking service for the Nation in
drawing attention to the dangers of
our times.
THE tenth of May, 1910. was an
important and fateful date" he wrote
in his letter of resignation, which
the White House makes public. 1T
seemed to me then that our situa-
ton was similar to that Of the British
before the outbreak of the war"
Those are words to mark. And: The
experience of Britain has shown that
where the national interest and Sc
curity are at stake, we are justified
in making only the most pessimistic
assumptions. If other words, pre-
pare, like pessimiSts expecting the
worst. Mr.. Hopkins has proved that
he is wise.

air force.
The situation would seem to indi-
cate that 1t Is not sufficient to ex-
pand the production of aircraft
alone and that serious study should
be given at once to the whole prob
lem of pilot training, civil and
military

PHILIPPINE NAVAL
BASE IS SUGGESTED
Taussig Wants U. S. To
Take Steps To Maintain
Pacific Status

WASHINGTON, April o. Up -
A proposal that the United States
construct an "impregnable" naval
base in the Philippines and agree
with the Allies and Holland to main
tain the present status in the Pa
cific was made to congress today by
Rear Admiral Joseph K. Taussig.
Urging this course in testimony
before the senate naval committee,
Taussig said he did not see how this
country could escape being forced
into war eventually by the present
trend of developments in the Far
East.
eff we are to remain at peace"
he said, at is essential that we be
strong enough to make Japan afraid
to involve us in war"
The admiral, who is commandant
of the fifth naval district at Nor
folk, Va, and a former assistant
chief of naval operations, told the
committee that the views he ex-
pressed were purely personal ones
"a statement that was quickly en-
%phasized at the navy department.
When word of his testimony
reached the department, a formal
statement was issued which said
that Admiral H. r. Stark, chief of
naval operations, desired to make
it clear that Admiral Taussig's tes-
timony was personal opinion" was
CONTRARY to the navy departments
views" and did not reflect the
opinion or the policy of the navy
department."
THE preparedness measures rec
commended by the navy department."
the statement added, are not di-
rected against any one but are die
tated by mere prudence to maintain
our strength relative to that of other
nations"

TWO anti PICKET
LAWS INVALIDATED
Tribunal Rules Alabama,
California Are I'm
constitutional

WASHINGTON, April % l)-
In two opinions by Justice Murphy
which said free discussion of la-
Dor disputes was indispensable" to
popular government, the supreme
court declared today that anti-pick-
citing laws of Alabama and a Cali
fornia county were unconstitutional.
in the circumstances of our
times the dissemination of intor-
nation concerning the facts of a la
Dor union dispute must be regarded
as within that area of free discus
sion that is guaranteed by the con
stitution," wrote the former attor-
ney-general, newest appointee to the
court.
at is recognized now that salts
factory hours and wages and work
ing conditions in industry and a
bargaining position which makes
these possible have an Importance
which is not less than the interests
of those in the business or industry
directly concerned.
"The health of the present genera
ton and of those as yet unborn
may depend on these matters, and
the practices in a single factory may
have economic repercussions upon a
whole region and affect widespread
systems of marketing -.
Free discussion concerning the
conditions in industry and the
causes of labor disputes appear to
us indispensable to the effective
and intelligent use of the processes
of popular government to shape the
destiny of modern industrial So
ciety."
The Alabama statute made it a
misdemeanor to picket "for the pur-
pose of hindering, delaying, or inter-
fering with or injuring any lawful
business and to go near to or lott
er about the premises" to r~estrail
others from dealing with or being
employed by the company.
