SECOND
General

The greatest difference be-
tween parents of the Old
Country, and their American
born children is caused by the
fundamental difference of out
look Of their complete philo-
sophy of life.
Abroad a word of the Father
or Mother is a command that
has to be implicitly obeyed.
Here it may be just a start
ing point of further converse
ton or discussion. Whereas it
is natural for the American
Parent to talk over matters OF
discipline, and the like sub
jects with their children it
would grieve most immigrant
Parents, and make them de-
plore the lack of discipline in
their children.
But these boys, and girls
learned to see adults in a very
different light from their Pa
rents. Going to school they
experience the Teachers en-
couragement to discuss pro-
blems openly, to think them
over, and to form their own
opinions. This last point is
exactly the difference between
most anything European, and
all things American. Abroad
there is preferably no personal
opinion besides the established
authority. Thank heavens,
here, We don't know that sort
of thing The goosestep prevails
in the thinking Of all people
as well as in their military
training abroad. OF course, not
in Great Britain, not In the
Scandinavian countries, and
not too much in France. But
in the rest of Europe what |
said above is largely correct.
The curse Of established
authority prevails in peoples
thought, and forms the grooves
of their thinking in a way
which is strange here. In due
time this factor must lead
to intellectual clashes between
the old, and new generations.
Another, similar example is
shown in the attitude toward
persons of authority, like e. g.,
toward a professional man, a
Congressman, judge, priest or
most any official. To the old
folks such people are a rare
honor to associate with. Meet
ing them they are flustered
with gratitude, and don't know
how to express themselves in
embarrassment. For the young
er generation they are our
equals who, for merit or smart
ness acquired these positions,
and they treat them as they
should, as equals. On the other
hand there is nothing funnier,
or more out of place for these
Americans than the behaviour
of the old folks toward them.
Their dignity never amounted
to as much in native crowds
as In these foreign gatherings,
and they naturally wonder.
Such attitudes hurt the inn
migrants much, because such
expression of individual respect
is unamerican. M. p. M.

FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS

The congressional hullabaloo over
the census QUESTIONABLE was sad
establishment to census bureau of
ficials, many of them career Repub-
icans.
When the QUESTIONABLE was being
drafted last year, Secretary Hop
kins called a conference OF BUSH
ness, labor and statistical experts,
including DR.. Louis Dublin of Met
ropolitan Life; Gen. Robert E. Wood
of Sears, Roebuck; Noel Sergeant,
secretary of the Manufacturers as
ISOLATION; and DR.. Stacy May OF
the Rockefeller foundation.
Among the questions discussed
were those regarding income, now
the cause of congressional uproar,
and the conference went on record
as endorsing them. Satisfaction
was expressed, particularly with the
inquiries relating to migration, en-
ployment, unemployment and eco
nomic status" the statement said.
Later, the National Bureau OF Eco
nomic Research, among others, did
likewise.
But when the shooting started and
the census bureau needed friends,

The Roosevelt administration
Indignantly denied spectacular
charges by Germany. Herr Ribben-
trop's aggressive Foreign Office
charged that it had possession of Is
crucial documents, found in the
Polish government archives at cap
tured Warsaw. These documents
had been turned in by Polish diplo-
mats, SO the accusation went, and
concerned the activities of the
American ambassadors to London
and Paris. 1t seems that these am
bassadors, Kennedy and Bullitt, had
egged on England and France
against Hitler, with the teeming
promise that the United States
would eventually come to the allies
help. 1t also was alleged that Bull
lit held out false inspiration to the
bellicose Poles. Unquestionably,
these sensational charges were the
news of the week.
President Roosevelt, Secretary
Hull, and Bill Bullitt FASTENED to
deny the accusations, as storm
clouds gathered over America.
Roosevelt talked about taking it all
with "three" grains of salt. Hull
made a flat denial. Bullitt and

United States, both said mono in

let 1t be known, to take a more
active part in pushing the war, and
there was a lot of gossip about
Chamberlain going the way of Dalai
dier--into the prime-ministerial dis
card. Due to British naval losses,
there was also talk of the axe for
Winston Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty.
It appeared that the neutrals
would suffer, as the result of an in
creased war endeavor by the allies.
Germany must be shut off from oil
and iron, and if Norwegian, or Ru-
manian, or Russian neutrality suf-
fered in consequence, that could not
be helped. The special threat was
aimed at iron-carrying ships, from
Narvik, Norway, to Stettin, Ger
many, which have the habit of plod-
ding safely along in Norwegian ter
ritorial waters, free from the frus-
trated allied blockade. The allied
reasoning ran something like this:
No Swedish iron; no German steel;
no Nazi mailed fist; no Hitler.
But the neutrals were not too
afraid of the allies. The Dutch shot
down a British bomber that had vio-
lated their neutrality, and Rumania
appeared to be turning more and
more to the German camp. The
Russian ambassador to France ex-
pressed rude opinions in telegram
to Moscow, and the French kicked
him out on a variety of charges.
France appeared to want war with
the Soviets; England, most emphat-
ically, did not, as number of sig
nificant organizational elections
across the channel showed.
Meanwhile, the Germans and Nor
wegians scored off one another to

sinister way into Kirkwall, British
base in the faraway Orkney islands
north of Scotland, and "singed
Churchills whiskers, if any" by
sinking a Norwegian freighter,
which was "safely" held there by
the British navy. This was consid-
cred another maritime coup; but the
Norwegians countered by interning
stranded U-boat in Norwegian wa
tiers, which aroused the customary
amount of Juror Teutonicus. There
was sensational talk of U-boat
base on the Pacific, at Whale bay,
southwest of Vladivostok, in the ST.
berian maritime province.

A. F. Of L. Peace.

Inere was a lot OF hidden Sig
nifcance in that statement of John
P. Coyne, head of the A. F. of L.
building trades department, urging
his unions to agree to a flat SO to $40
a day wage on small home con-
struction.
Behind the scenes the A. F. Of L.
is trying to make peace with the
justice department on its antitrust
prosecutions of number of big-shot
A. F. of L. moguls.
Despite the blasts of some of the
leaders, the inside fact is that the
irank-and-file are strongly behind the
Justice department. It has received
hundreds of letters from A. F. of l..
unions and individual members
voicing approval Of the prosecutions,
and some of the central labor coun-
ellis have asked the department to
come to their cities and launch
grand jury proceedings against To-
cal A. F. of L. chiefs.
This undercover support extends
right up into the A. F. of L. execu-
tive council. It's an A. F. of L.
secret that an effort was made at
the meeting of the council in Wash
Iington last December, and again in
Miami in February, to pass resolu-
tons denouncing the justice depart
ment, but both times they were
turned down.
