insist that the Allies are fighting for
us, and that we have to rely on the
British navy.
If Greece, Italy, Abyssinia, Po-
land, Czecho-Slovakia, Manchukuo,
Finland and perhaps Rumania

Washington was right when he
warned us that there is no soft
hearted altruism in the selfish and
INSCRIPTIONS fenagling of European
diplomacy-especially in times of
war and danger. France sent us
help in our Revolution, but it was
only because it was a terrible blow
at her enemy-England.
We can rely on nothing in these
times but our own hard-boiled COM

own right arm. They are enough.
GIRLS IN MEMS JOBS
Miss Anderson of the Women's bu-
reau of the department of labor,
warns Madam Perkins in a formal
report that Family life in this coun-
try will suffer serious consequences
if prejudice against women work
ers marrying is allowed to spread.
Who is prejudiced against work
ing women marrying? Such a pref
udice would be positively immoral.
Doesn't Miss Anderson really mean
a possible prejudice not against
working women marrying but
against married women working?
In our pioneering and develop
ment days when "Adam delved and
Eve span" being woman-whether
married or not-was pure drudgery.
Many a sturdy father wore out and
buried from two to ten wives in the
course of Misunderstanding babies,
making soap, bread, butter, beer
and candles-spinning, laundering,
clothesmaking, cooking, preserving
food, curing hog meat, hewing wood,
drawing water and raising children.
All this is changed. Taking care
of home and family is now only
part-time job.
Women in industry add to the I'M
employment problem, but how can
you keep the gals at home when
there is so little there to do?
The displacement of men workers
by women in this country as COM
pared with 1910 has gone steadily

SMALL TOWN HOSPITALS


NEW YORK CITY.-It is hard to
write a word unfavorable to the
Presidents plan to have the fed
eral government begin building
small experimental hospitals in
towns that do not have such serv-
ice. / have lived in such towns
myself. Even in larger towns which
have had such hospitals, have been
made personally and painfully
aware of the backwardness of some
doctors who do not or cannot keep in
touch with the rapidly improving
and developing medical profession.
1t is desirable to have hospitals in
places where they are not. So are
many other things desirable.
If it is just and proper for the
government to favor one small COM
munity by building hospital for it,
how can it refuse to build one in
every town in similar circum-
stances? That wouldn't be a mat
ter of $1O,OOO,OOO.
Furthermore, the mere building
of a hospital is only a beginning.
Lie SOSL VI ID
If it had been only matter OF
providing buildings, the billions that
have gone through WPA into some
far less worthy projects could prob
ably have built all the hospitals
that are ENTHUSIASTICALLY in the
old federal and civil works admin
istrations, where billions appropri-
ated in part for national defense
went for raking leaves.
Hard-boiled as any criticism of
this project must seem, congress
owes a positive and pressing duty
to examine in all its implications
before it opens any more expanding
spigots into the federal treasury.
1t has all the earmarks of the Arabs
camel which began by persuading
it's master to let it stick just the
tip of it's nose under the tent to get
it out of the cold, and wound up
by wearing the tent as horse
blanket leaving the Arab-nose and
all-in the chill of the outer dark
ness.

WASHINGTON WAS RIGHT

Finland is holding the pass lead
ing to the Allied left flank. Yet,
thus far, she has no Allied aid. Ru-
mania is under pressure from the
Allies, Germany, Russia, Bulgaria
and Hungary. She, too, has prom
ises of Allied assistance. But does
she believe in them-and if so, why?
The record of the Allies in help
ing small countries which they have
persuaded to stand with them is
uniform-uniformly rotten.
Every time I write like this I am
accused of bias in favor of Hitler
and against England. l despise Hit
Ter and like England, but in any in
ternational war situation, I wouldn't
trust our fate to either of them as
far as 1 could toss bull by the tail.
My only point in reciting them is
to suggest to some among my own

Musical Americana" may play
no small part in international rela-
tionships. Mr.. Edward c. Johnston
of New York feels that it is ire
mendously significant that the pro-
gram is broadcast to South America
in Portuguese and Spanish. When
you hear the American announcer
speaking, in South America a native
announcer speaks at the same time,
the American announcement being
cut off for those few moments. Mr..
Johnston feels that cultural ex-
change between the two countries
aids greatly in developing the mu-
tual understanding which is so de-
Sirable.

OrnithOlOgists and seamen have

Agricultural Hangover.

Henry Wallace was reading a
statement in his press conference,
warning the country against expect
ing the war to be a boon to agri-
culture. He paused, looked at his
audience of newsmen, and threw in
a figure of speech which he said
would be understood by many re-
porters, but not by many farmers.
Sin this war, agriculture is likely
to have a hangover without the
spree beforehand"

deluge of applications to Miss Mar

WHAT FARMERS NEED.

In their critical aspects both were

The net result of all that Mr.. Wal
lace has done for agriculture is alb
Solutely Zero-which is considerably
less than 80 degrees below freezing.
So Mr.. Dewey and Mr.. Frank made
a fairly spectacular and unanswer-
able case on that point.
All authorities agree that the prob
lem is largely surplus production.
Mr.. Wallace started out to reduce
the surplus. He has not decreased
it. He has greatly increased it and
his and other administration poll
cies have vastly decreased the pos
sibility of consuming it. In doing
what he has done, Mr. Wallace has
spent billions. l hate to criticize
him, because he knows more about
farming than anybody who attempts
to discuss the subject. He is as sim
cere and intellectually honest man
as there is in this administration. 1
am so convinced of this that, if l
