fed right" where the employer is
concerned, but the latest Supreme
Court case would seem to render
such a judgment inconsistent here
after. incidentally, when the House
Labor Committee was asked to vote
an amendment to the Wagner law
safeguarding freedom of speech, it
was defeated. Justice Murphy, the
newest member of the Supreme
Court, wrote the opinion which was
approved, to /, by his colleagues.
AS former Governor of Michigan
where he has had considerable ex-
perience with picketing laws and
ordinances and with attempts to
crush freedom of speech, Justice
Murphy has written a significant
opinion. In the not far distant
future, the Henry Ford case on
freedom of speech for the employer
will be before the same court. The
opinion rendered this week may
foreshadow the clarification of the
rights of employers who have neen
wondering how Congress could pos
sibly have delegated power to the
Labor Board to abridge the free
dom of speech guaranteed by the
Constitution.

o""~"'he Dro"". "A m S q q or
Taylor is a perfect reporter.
The Vatican's intelligence service
is the best in the world. 1t gathers
news from the four corners of the
world. The Intelligence officers"
are members of the Catholic clergy
who are in touch in every country
in the world with people of all social
strata. They do not seek informa-
ton in the same way as diplomatic,
military and naval officers.
In Touch With All Classes.
Information comes to the fathers
through their daily activities. Peo-
pie from the highest to the lowest
in the land are in daily touch with
the Catholic clergy. They hear all
kinds OF things whether they want to
or not. In this manner the social
and economic situation in every
country in the world is better known
to the Vatican than to any other
government in the world.
Military and naval news is Of no
interest to the clergy. They don't
get any. But these days an actual
picture of the economic, and espe-
cially moral, situation in every coun-
try is Of greater consequence than
the fact that one of the belligerents
has some gigantic and heretofore
unknown weapon for future use.
There is always an antidote for
any kind of poison. There is always
counterweapon to any new means
Of killing. The last war proved this
sufficiently. But there is nothing
that can be done to undermined
morale which is ready to break
down at the slightest push
The Catholic clergy is composed
of men of great knowledge of human
nature and psychology. Hence they
are capable, in many instances bet
ter than diplomatic or military
officer. of gaugirg situation based
more on psychological factors than
on troop movements.
Reassured on Italy.
The Vatican is apparently willing
to pass on to the American Govern
ment most of it's useful information.
In this manner. for instance, last
Friday. when the situation in the
Mediterranean seemed most pre-
carious and it was believed that
Italy was ready to enter either
Greece or De elmatia, the State De-
partment had reassuring informa-
ticn. 1t received reports in the
morning to the effect that Musso-
lini was ready to slow down and
that An attack against either Yugo-
slavia or Greece must be discounted
for the time being, at least.
Ambassador Taylor, in turn. is not
a career diplomat, but business
man. This is his first diplomatic
post. He may ask questions with
greater bluntness than a trained
diplomat would dare. but apparently
he receives the right answers. OF
course. there is no rivalry between
the official Embassy in Rome and
the unofficial one at the Vatican.
Ambassador William Phillips-a ca
reer man-has his own most reliable
sources of information, and he and
Mr.. Taylor cooperate in an en-
deavor to keep the State Depart
ment as we'll informed as is possible
under present conditions. Italy has
become the pivotal point in the Eu-
ropean conflict. Hence all news
from there is of enormous impor-
tance.

The Political Mill
Roosevelt Tour Seen as SuIesmunship for
New Deal, the Foreign Policy, or Both

have talked of foreign affairs, have
insisted that America remain aloof
from the war and one Of them at
least-Thomas E. Dewey of New
York-has frowned upon the idea
that America is to participate in
the peace terms. Mr.. Roosevelt
has taken Mr.. Dewey severely to
task, in his more recent comments,
for this attitude. Yet If the allies
win-without our participation in
the war-will they invite this coun-
try to help frame the terms of
peace? And If the Germans win,
will they seek to bring America into
the picture as an arbiter of peace?
1t may be that the President is
counting on a stalemate.
Seen as Important Election Issue.
More and more the belief grows
that the foreign situation will play
an important part in the coming
political campaign in this country.
1t frequently has been predicted
that upon the foreign outlook will
depend Mr.. Roosevelts decision
whether to run again. for one thing.
And whether he runs or not-but
especially If he runs-the foreign
policies of this country will be
brought prominently into the fore
ground by the Democratic and Re-
publican campaigners. 1t may be
that the President senses that there
is not too much time left between
now and election day to educate
the American people along the lines
OF his own thinking on foreign
policies.
The Republicans are planning not
to let the grass grow under their
feet, either. First along comes
Landon-Knox proposal that key
men in the party, including pro-
spective members of the national
conventions Committee on Resolu-
tions, gather in Philadelphia a week
before the convention and begin
work on drafting a national plat
form. This platform will have to
deal with the foreign relations of the
country as well as with domestic
affairs. Time will be required. and
also a careful consideration of all
the circumstances that exist two
months from now, to give the Re-
publicans the kind of declaration of
policy they desire in their platform.
Scarcely is this Landon- Knox idea
made public when Chairman John
Hamilton of the Republican Ma
tional Committee announces he has
written TO all members of his COM
mittee and all State chairmen urg-
ing that the State delegations to the
national convention elect their rep
resentatives on the prospective reso-
lutions committee. SO that they may
go to Philadelphia IAN appreciable
time" before the convention to work
out platform.
Have Common Goal.
The plans are similar in intent.
But Col Frank Knox, who talked
with Republican House and Senate
leaders here last week about the
Landon-Knox proposal, did not con-
suit Chairman Hamilton. Nor, pre-
sunably, did Mr.. Hamilton consult
Col. Knox. The chairman, how
ever, has had the proposal in mind
for months. He stresses the fact
that the Republicans already have
had submitted to them a most i'm

The Supreme Court-in holding
an Alabama statute unconstitu-
tional because it interfered with the
right of employees to engage in
peaceful plcketing-said some peril
nent things about public discussion
OF the merits of labor disputes, as
follows:
I'm the circumstances of our
times, the dissemination of infor-
nation concerning the facts of a
labor union dispute must be re-
garded as within that area of free
discussion that is guaranteed by
the Constitution. 1t is recognized
now that satisfactory hours and
wages and working conditions in
industry and bargaining position
which makes these possible have an
Importance which is not less than
the interests of those in the busi-
ness or industry directly concerned.
Discussion Held Indispensable.
Free discussion concerning the
conditions in industry and the
causes of labor disputes appears to
us indispensable to the effective
and intelligent processes of popular
government to shape the destiny of
modern industrial society. The is
sues raised by regulations, such as
are challenged here, infringing upon
the right of employees effectively to
inform the public of the facts of a
labor dispute are part of this larger
problem. +**
Every expression of opinion on
matters that are important has the
potentiality of inducing action in
the interests of one rather than an
other group in society. But the
group in power at any moment may
not impose penal sanctions on
peaceful and truthful discussion of
matters Of public interest, merely on
showing that others may thereby
be persuaded to take action incon-
sistent with it's Interests"
Now the National Labor Relations
Board has developed the doctrine
that an employer has no right to
discuss mutual problems with his
individual employees but must dis
cuss them only through designated
bargaining agent. Even when the
employer feels that the bargaining
agent is misrepresenting the truth
concerning the employers position
with respect to wages and hours and
other pertinent facts, the board has
held that the employer cannot
transmit any documents directly to
Individual employees, or argue his
case over the head of even an un-
truthful bargaining agent.
Intimidation by Inference.
The board has gone so far as to
declare that an employer who ed
dressed his employees on the merits
Of collective bargaining could, under
certain circumstances, be held to be
violating the Wagner law by COM
mitting an unfair labor practice.
It is true the board has consistently
sought to tie up the expressions by
the employer with alleged intimida-
ton or coercion on his part, but this
has been read into the cases by in
ference rather than by direct proof,
and, of course, the board has felt
1t had the power to base it's con-
clusions on impression rather than
testimony, anyway.
When the Supreme Court, on the
other hand, declares invalid an
anti-picketing ordinance on the
ground that peaceful picketing"
cannot injure the employer and
that free discussion can do nobody
any harm, it is in effect saying that
the employer has a right freely to
express his opinions, too.
The Labor Board has maintained

portant report of the Glenn Frank
Program Committee, which should
be given attentive study by the
platform makers in Philadelphia
and that time will be necessary.
The Republicans are presenting
something new in the way of key
note speakers at their national con-
vention-33-year-old Gov. Stassen
OF Minnesota. And for permanent
chairman they are putting forward
representative Martin of Massa-
chusetts, Republican House leader.

administrations foreign policy. And
1t may be that the President would
take Puckish delight in delivering
speeches-bound to make the head
lines-whi.e the Republican Ma
tional Convention is striving the
latter part of June to draft a ma
tional platform and to nominate its
candidates for President and Vice
President.
The Presidents announced policy
is to keep this country out of the
wars in Europe and in Asia. But he
has spoken of policies short of war;
that should be undertaken in the
interests of the democracies of
Europe against the dictator nations.
He has not hesitated to say that
his sympathies, like those of the
vast majority of Americans, are
with the allies against Germany.
There are many Americans who
view with suspicion the attitude of
the administration-and they are
not hesitating to say as much.
The measures short of war" have
not been put before the people in
detail. Generally they are supposed
to be measures of economic pressure.
There has been no suggestion Of
loans of money to the allies-yet.
But If it becomes evident that the
allies must have financial support
in order to continue their struggle
loans would be one measure short
of war"
"Our War" Argument Increases.
The American people are easy to
rouse. Their sympathies are quick.
Up to the present there has been
an earnest demand on the part of
the great majority that America
remain out of the war. Neverthe-
less, there is substantial number
OF Americans who insist that the
war in Europe is Americas. war
on the ground that if Germany
wins, the Western Hemisphere will
be next on Mr.. Hitler's list of con-
quests. AS the war spreads abroad,
this line of argument will be de-
velcped more and more markedly.
Mr.. Roosevelt's contentious have
been that Americans cannot expect
to be unaffected by the war abroad;
that this country must be prepared
to do its part in bringing peace to
the world, around the peace table.
There are signs the propaganda
factory is already at work.
Republican speakers, when they

they did in 1882 and 1886. National
Chairman Farley is suggesting that
Senator Barkley of Kentucky take
on third term as Democratic Ma
tional Convention keynoter, and
that Speaker Bankhead preside as
permanent chairman. If Barkley
becomes either temporary chairman
and keynoter or permanent chair
man, and Roosevelt should not run,
the Kentuckian might emerge as a
compromise candidate for the presi-
dental nomination-or so his friends
say. Senator Byrnes of South Caro-
lima also is being doomed for the
lob of keynoter.
