President himself of domestic de-
tails while the Vice-President
looked after such things. Some
indications have already been
given of project of this sort.
During the campaign Mr.. Wal
lace was sent around the country
to speak for the President. Since
election he has been appointed as
a special emmissary and personal
representative of the President to
attend the Inauguration of Mexi-
co.'s new President.
There are rumOrS around Wash
ington of other jobs which the
President has in view for the
Vice-President after their join
Inauguration on January Goth. In
deed, if half of these reports are
true, the new Vice-President will
seldom be seen on the dostrum
Of the Senate, because he, will be
out around the country some
where attending to business for
the President.
There is nothing the matter
with that kind of a scheme. It is
surprising that no President be-
fore has ever though of using the
Vice-President as his assistant.
One or two Vice-Presidents have
been invited by the President to
sit in Cabinet meetings and give
the Cabinet the benefit Of their
advice as to what they might or
might not be able to get through
Congress. But these have been
few and far between, and have
seldom lasted in that capacity.

Ahead, meanwhile, were two months
of this maddening snowbound 81

Bills glance drifted to the calen-

"Jim!" he shrieked. "Wake up!

Jim groaned, stirred a bit, and
answered sleepily.

"Jim! It's Christmas Eve!"

knee-deep drifts for two hours. To

Suddenly he heard faint hum in

Bill raced for the cabin door.
"a plane. JIM" he cried. Get
some black smoke going up the
chimney" Then he raced out to
the clearing.
The pilot saw him gesticulating
wildly, or else he saw the fresh
black smoke over the cabin The

Says Socialist Party
Is Party of Workers.
70 the Editor of The Star:


Day after day, year in, year out,
the American people struggle to build
for themselves secure and happy lives
The work of their trade unions, their
farm co-ops; their action to protect
civil liberties to keep American at peace,
is the work that will free the United
States from the burden of poverty and
the threat of war.
The Socialist party fights for workers
interests every day in the year because
it is their party. The Socialist plat
form represents their interests because
they formed it. The Socialists candi-
dates, Norman Thomas and Maynard
Kruger, are their candidates, pledged
to carry on the fight. The Socialist
society will be run in workers interests
because they will run it. 1t will be our
democracy because we, together, build it.
Socialism is the democracy that works

Labor and the U. S. H. A.

In connection with defense hous-
ing, as with the general slurn clear
ance program, the United States
Housing Authority and union labor
have demonstrated again the bene-
fits to be derived from harmonious
labor relations. Cooperating to
speed up the economical construc-
tion of necessary housing for ma
tional defense workers, building
trades unions are reported as agree
ing to work double shifts at straight
time wages on all such projects
financed by the U. S. H. A. This ar
rangement serves the important
purpose of cutting construction time
in half without substantially increas-
ing costs. 1t is based on resolutions
adopted by local unions which pro-
vide that they will furnish double
shifts at prevailing wage rates on an
eight-hour day, forty-hour week
basis. Only where individuals or
shifts work in excess of these limita-
tionS is the overtime rate to be paid.
Thus the workers are assured Of no
loss of zealouSly guarded social
gains" as a result of the defense pro-
gram and in return pledge co-opera-
ton where speed is such an essential
factor.
Other Federal agencies, such as
the War and Navy Departments and
the Public Buildings Administration,
which are slated to handle the great
bulk of defense housing, could profit
from a similar arrangement, as we'll
as from mo strike" agreements like
those which guide construction work
on U. S. H. A. projects. Labor is per-
sonally interested in defense hous-
ing as it is in public housing gen.

and again in connection with Slum

Curdenus' Troubles

1t is one of the paradoXeS of Mex
ico's oil troubles that President Car
denas, who appropriated the foreign
owned oil industry in March, 1888,
for the purpose, among other things,
of improving the working conditions
of Mexican labor, now is faced with
the threat of strike by Mexican oil
workers against his economy pro-
gram, designed to put the national
lied petroleum industry on paying
basis.
The appropriation followed long
conflict before the Mexican labor
board between the oil companies and
the labor unions over rates of pay,
sick benefits, severance pay, etc. The
oil companies insisted that they were
not able, on the basis OF their earn
ings at that time, to meet the judg-
ment rendered against them by the
federal arbitrators, and the expro-
priation was President Cardenas' way
of breaking the resultant deadlock.
Since the appropriation, little has
been done to carry out the reforms
the oil workers demanded.
Behind him in the appropriation
the Mexican executive had the Mexi-
can Labor Federation, of which the
oil workers were one of the most i'm
portant components. Now part OF
the oil workers union has voted not
only to strike against Cardenas'
economy program but to withdraw
from the federation, which is domi-
mated by Vincente Lombardo Tole-
danO.
Under President Cardenas' leader
ship the right of the workers to
strike, even against the government,
has been upheld, so that even If the
strike is called, and mediation efforts
fail, it is not likely to give rise to the
use of military force to break the
walkout.
Nor is it likely that this incipient
labor revolt against Cardenas wills
carry very far Immediately, or will
have any substantial influence upon
the political fight now in progress
between General Manuel Avila Ca
macho and General Juan Andrea
Almazan. Mexican labor is too SOL
idly behind Cardenas to make posi-
BILE any large-scale detection from
his leadership. AS far as General
Almazan is concerned, Mexican la
Dor leadership is too inimical to him
to make possible any substantial
labor support for his claims to the
presidency. What is dangerous is
that the middle of -the-road Avila
Camacho may inherit a controversial
labor issue which will deprive him Of
the authority and prestige with the
Mexican workers that Cardenas en-
| loved.

States, he collected pictures of dis
tinction and then generously gave
them to the people with funds for
their proper housing in a beautiful
building
Technically, the Tate Gallery is a
branch of the National Gallery. It's
official designation is "Millbank," in
commemoration of a prison which
formerly occupied its site on the
north bank of the Thames. The
public, however, has habit of think
ing about such stipulations casually.
1t likes to regard the Tate Gallery
as an entirely independent estab-
lishment devoted to canvases of
the Victorian and early Twentieth
Century periods. Some radical"
works from the brushes of Cezanne,
Van Gogh and MatisSe and other
experimenters have been permitted
to intrude, perhaps to emphasize the
fact that the edifice really belongs
to Turner, the pre-Raphaelites,
Alfred Stevens, Whistler, Sargent
and their contemporaries.
Probably no other collection on
earth more nearly approximates a
cultivated Anglo-Saxon ideal of what
art should be. The paintings of the
Tate Gallery would be hated by an
esthetic anarchist. 1t is character
istic of them that they are finely
drawn, naturally faithful in light
color. Constable's landscapes, plainly,
are representations of authentic
English scenes. He did not imagine
them adventurously. 1t satisfied him
to interpret them with grace and
dignity to the purpose that they
never would be lost however much
they might change.
So, too, Sir David Wilkie, Maclise,
William Etty, Sir Edwin Landseer,
Lord Leighton, OrchardSon and
DickSee were masters whose genius
is not dependent upon passing
fashion. Thousands of visitors have
made pilgrimage to the Tate Gallery
to see them, never to forget them.
A similar affirmation may be made
for long list of less famous artists
who, each in his own right, justified
inclusion in an exhibition richly
gratifying.
The Nazi invaders may demolish
its walls, but the Tate Gallery can
be reconstructed when peace again
has been achieved. Meanwhile, the
treasures displayed there in normal
times are considered safe in Subter-
ranean storage.
