GESTURE WITH GOOD
SELECTIONS

The Knudsen- Stettinius etcetera
board is not council of national
defense. 1t is an advisory commits
sion to the statutory council which
is composed of Secretaries Wood
ring, Edison, Ickes, Wallace, Hop
kins, and Perkins.
Only these New Dealers have
authority. They, added to the New
Dealers on the commission-Leon
Henderson, Sidney Hillman, Chester
Davis, William McReynolds and
perhaps Harriet Elliott-make a
total of 10 or II New Dealers.
There are only three non-New
Dealers, Knudsen, Stettinius and
Budd, and only the New Dealers
have any power. Yet the setup is
being widely represented as "non-
political - several commentators
insisting that Knudsen was NOM
mated" by Republicans.
I don't know about that but I do
know that this column-which is not
Republican-began before anybody
plugging to have him brought in
months ago, and has frequently
urged it since.
I fear the thing is just a gesture
which won't work and perhaps
wasn't intended to work. 1t starts
just where we started in 1916 before
we knew how and began two years
laundering before we learned how.
1t includes not one single veteran
of that effort. It studiously avoids
every lesson of the past and stupidity
repeats every blunder.
Yet it must in fairness be said
that the selections are excellent.
If World war experience is any in

to 1897. Since then the Germans
have guarded improvements be-
cause of their military importance.
Weather bureau officials said Hit
ler's advantage in foretelling wealth
er was the result of study by Bauer
and others at the institute for long
range forecasts at Frankfort 10
years ago. German meteorologists
have been able to forecast weather
for a week or 10 days ahead with
remarkable accuracy, according tn
DR.. Carl G. Rossby, who is working;
on the American system.

dication and these men should be
given any authority, the metal
people may howl at having their in
dustries headed by the head of U. S.
Steel and the other automobile COM
panies may not care to be rounded
up by the head of General Motors.
The New Dealers who like to
scream: "Wal1 Street! Du Pont!
Morgan!" at every patriotic effort
by business man, will find materi-
al for all three cries of anguish. In
view of the splendid personalities
here none of these objections is
valid.
Subject to these qualifications
these selections are so good that
it will be pleasure to find at least
something to support in the defense
effort which has been so fumbling
and inefficient to date. Sometimes
men can be so good that they can
make even a bad plan and organi-
zation work.
A war psychology is growing in
which much can be done by the
three industrialistS by mere sugges-
tons and agreements among bust
ness men. Stettinius, Knudsen and
Budd can do that as well as any
three Americans alive-if Thurman
Arnold will let them do it. This is
point of real importance.
Since the Supreme court decision
in the hot-o1 case it is dangerous
to do anything by agreements in in
dustry at the suggestion Of the gov
eminent. We need a statute vail
dating such agreements for national
defense when made at the demand
of the President.
Because of the rift in the ranks
of labor. there was no other possible
choice but Sidney Hillman. He is
brilliant, patriotic, cooperative and
has the confidence of labor and of
every industry with which he has
dealt.
I brought Leon Henderson into
this government from obscurity to
an important post. I believe that
he is too biased and pinkly partisan
for his job in SEC and with the
monopoly committee, but he will be,
I think, ideal for this job.
Of course, Henry Wallace isn't 60
ing to let Chester Davis do anything
in agriculture, any more than Mud
dom Sec will permit Sidney Hillman
any initiative in labor, but Mr.. Davis
is, by all odds, the very best selec-
ton that could have been made
I don't know the lady who is going
to protect the consumers. It is a
tough and almost impossible job. I
do know all the rest of these selec-
tons, most of them intimately and
well. From my experience from
working with them under high pres
sure they are the cream of the cur
rent crop.
Whether we think this curious and
illogical organizational contraption,
which failed so dangerously in 1917,
will work or not, it is at least a
faltering step in the right direc-
ton. Everybody will wish it well.

A LEADER

In the blitzkrieg world other ma
tons can change leaders instantly.
We can't. However this is our year
to name a leader.
It's plain leader is not to be
judged by himself alone, especially
in war. It is doubtful that Hitler's
astonishing effects have much to do
with Hitler's personal gifts. But
there is no doubt in the world that
they reflect his ability to put the
right men in the right place. Thus
Mr.. Roosevelt must be judged.
