Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Regardless of Dreams, a Youth
Must Be Able to Earn Living

Dear Miss Dix-Why is it that
parents cannot agree with their
children's ideas? am boy 20 years
old, unemployed and unhappy be-
cause my father and mother don't
approve of what I want to do.
I take the attitude that life is
what you make of it. I want to go
places, see things, not hang around
in one spot all my life, doing the
same thing every day-going to
work and coming home, going to
work and coming home. My father
has been doing that since he was 16
years old and he thinks I should do
the same thing. But I have no in
tention of falling in with their plans.
AS soon as am 81 years old I am
going to join the Army. After that
I am going to travel and hope to
join the French Foreign Legion.
When I am about IS years old I am
going to settle down. Don't you
think a fellow has right to live his
own life the way he sees fit and not
let it be run by his parents?
ADVENTUROUS TOM.
Answer-Well, Tom, I expect the
reason that parents so often fail to
agree with their childrens ideas is
because the children's ideas are gen.
orally so unbaked. The children's
heads are usually filled with i'm
practical dreams and when the par
ents try to wake the youngsters up
to the realities of life they resent it.
But, even SO, it is pity that par
ents so often forget their own youth
and the reckoning visions which
they longed to follow in their boy
hood and girlhood, because it would
make them so much more patient
with their children and so much bet
ter able to guide them.
OF course you want to travel and
go places and do things and see what
lies beyond the horizon. Every boy
with a bit of imagination and any
red blood in his veins wants to do
that. And, personally, I am in en-
tire sympathy with him.
1t is good for boy to get away
from home and have the broadening
experience of making contacts with
strange cities and places and of
learning the valuable lesson of how
to stand on his own feet.
But if you want to go vagabondiz-
ing, why don't you prepare yourself
for it by learning some good trade,
say that of an automobile mechanic,
for instance. by which you can get
a job and earn money, if you are
good enough, in any country in the
world?
You seem to be doing nothing but
just wishing for some magic carpet

that statement on that subject
might be forthcoming today.
Vivien Liebman, A. Y. G. publicity
director, telegraphed an invitation
to Mr.. Tunney to speak before the

A declaration of beliefs by the pro-
American group Endorsed by Mr..
Tunney, said in part: American
democracy must survive. The price.
less gift of democracy is the sacred
ness of the individual. If this is to
continue, youth must be on guard
lest subversive pressure groups,
speaking in the name of youth, in
wade and threaten these basic
rights
1t said the Nation had a serious
shortage of skilled and semi-skilled
labor and advocated youth training

The five-year term OF Chairman

that his post may be given to some

Board Long Under Fire.
During the last year, the three
man Labor Board frequently has
split over internal policies while
facing a fire of criticism from
groups in Congress, labor and busi-
ness.
William M. Leiserson, appointed
to the board by President Roosevelt
last summer, frequently has found
himself opposed to the views of Mr..
Madden and Edwin S. Smith.
Meanwhile, Chairman Madden
marked the fifth anniversary of the
Wagner Labor Act yesterday with a
speech declaring it had changed
collective bargaining from a "pious
theory" to an accepted industrial
practice.

this country was plunged into a war
emergency "a years ago.
In 1917, he said, there was wide

board, he recalled, laid down the
policy-later incorporated in the
Wagner Act-that workers should
not be denied the right to organize
and bargain collectively.
I'm another five years." he added,
"if rights of working men to or
