WILL DAVIS

The, country doesn't like strikes
any more than it likes war, but the
war has brought out many men OF
stature, and the strikes have brought
out William H. Davis, new chairman
OF the National Defense Mediation
board.
Actually Davis is no "war baby" "
but a veteran who has been working
at labor mediation for many years.
Still it was settlement of the Allis-
Chalmers strike that first won him
national attention.
By profession Davis is a patent
lawyer, with offices in New York
city. On the very next day after
the Allis-Chalmers triumph, he ap-
peared before the U. S. Supreme
court, his hair no more unruly than
usual, to argue a patent case. He
makes his living from big-money
firms, but he has a strong liberal
viewpoint toward labor.
When a committee of congress
asked him what he thought of bill
to outlaw strikes, he said, When
you pass compulsory legislation, you
make the working man slave, and
there is no use producing defense
materials for nation of slaves"
There are lot Of odd pieces in
Davis life. He was born in Bangor,
Maine, schooled in Washington,
D. c., is a member of New York S
swanky Downtown Athletic club, a
labor sympathizer, founder of the
Grand Central Art galleries, father
in-law of Argentine diplomat Alonzo
Irigoyen, and careless with his
clothes.
One phrase-maker says Davis has
''the face of a kindly bulldog" An
other 1.-The face of tired trombone
player" Not many faces would an

N THESE troubled times

Wnen our prODleInS seem 10
- be taking on a national rath-
er than a domestic character, it
is more necessary than ever for
the woman of the house-moth-
er, wife, sister, daughter, which
ever she may be-to see that
everything at home moves Sc
renely and smoothly; that home
is a refuge for the workers who
have to go out into the turmoil
and Encouragement of a war
torn world.
Women are the makers or break
ers of marriage. They are the build
ers or the destroyers of home. Nine
ty per cent of the success or failure
of any marriage is due to the won-
an. She can turn the most fortunate
mating into the least happy, or she
can pick the ruins of her marital
venture from ashes and wreckage,
and transform them into happiness
and security again.
Everything but Character.
We all know young couples who
started few years ago with what
an adniring world called ''every-
thing" Wealth, beauty, position,
all these didn't save these husbands
and wives from an early appearance
in the divorce court.
And we all know other brides and
grooms; obscure, poor, plain, mex
perienced. We know how radiantly
confident they were as they went
from the quiet wedding to the two or
three small rooms that were home,
how they irradiated these rooms
with love and service, how they built
about them strong walls Of true
married life, raised fine children,
rose in the world, added on more
glory to the glory of American life.
In the one case the man may have
been spoiled, rich, selfish, stupid. In
the other he may have been schooled
to consideration and generousnesS.
But in both cases it was because of
what the woman was that the mar
riage turned out as it did.
Here is a letter from Chicago
man that illustrates forcefully the
situation IN one household, in which
the wife and mother seems deter
mined to destroy her own life and
those of her husband and child.
An Inharmonious Household.
Dear Mrs. Norris" writes Don,
81 am head of shoe department in
large store; 38 years old, married
IA years, and with a daughter Of
nine. We live IN a comfortable SIX
room apartment; own a car, and my
wife has the afternoon services
of a good maid. Some years ago
purchased a small cabin in the
woods on a lake, for vacation and
weekend visits. / am church
member, and have always tried to be
considerate of my wife and generous
to her, as well as faithful.
Evelyn was an extremely pretty
girl; she is much overweight now,
has dyed her hair bright gold, and
uses much makeup. Clothes, and
what her women friends think of
her clothes are her greatest interest
in life, but she also likes bridge,
poker and movies, and she spends
much time and money on beauty
parlors.

NEW LENDLEASE SUM

NEW LEND-LEASE SUM
The new lend-lease appropriation
that has been tentatively agreed on
by inner advisers is S., 1000, 900, 900.
With the 81 ,000, 900 voted by
congress several months ago, this
would make total of Sl2, 900, ,000, 900
for aid to the democracies. Yet this
stupendous sum is still considerably
short of what was originally pro-
posed, also of what probably will be
ultimately required.
It's White House secret, but the
first lend-lease program submitted
added up to SIS, ZOO, 200, 900. This
was slashed to $4,000, 900, 900 by the
army and navy and then still further
cut to $1,000, 100000 by the budget
bureau. The last figure was ap-
proved by the President and sent
to congress.
One reason for the new appropri-
alton is that many Of the original
price estimates have been found to
be far too low, particularly in the
case Of planes, ships and guns. Ris-
ing costs, due to changes in con-
struction, more expensive new mod
els, and increased production
charges, made it impossible to con-
tract for these items at the original
estimates; and more money is need
ed to fulfill the program.
Another reason for the lend-lease
boost is heavy outlays for repairs
on battle-damaged British warships,
of which a number are now in U. S.
yards. This type of aid is running
into big money. O.. -.
Most important, however, is the
urgent need for expansion of the
whole aid-democracies program.
Britain, China and the other Axis
foes require increased assistance
to meet the greatly enlarged re-
sources of the Nazis brought by
their conquest of Europe.
Today they must stand off not only
the industrial power of Germany,
but also that of France, Belgium,
Holland, Rumania, Hungary, and
other NaZi victims. So if Britain is
to continue fighting she must secure
much more help from the United
States. Without such aid she will
quickly be overwhelmed.
Red Tape-itis.
While most of the 81, 900, 900, 900
1end-lease money has been allocat-
ed, some $500, COO, 900 earmarked for
new armaments plants is still lying
around idle. And close to S4,000,-
O00,000 Of other defense appropria-
tions for new plants also is twid-
ding its thumbs while army supply
brasshats and OPM chiefs, en-
meshed In coils of red tape, are
stalling around.
It takes from to Is months to
erect these plants, so this delay in
getting construction started means
serious crimp in the defense pro-
gram.
Chiefly to blame are army supply
brasshats, who are inadequate to
handle the colossal task thrust on
them, but so jealous of their bureau
cratic powers that they won't let
anyone else tackle it. OPM heads
are champing at the precious time
being wasted, but lack authority to
override the army and haven't the
gumption to raise a row.

not coming, or she may come in

food, explaining that they all had

Evelyn does not like the cabin /;
she has been there twice only in the
past year. It means fire-making,
dishwashing, cooking for US all. My
little girl and I love it, but my wife
breads the effort. Last summer she
took Betty-Lou for two weeks to a
smart beach, placed Betty-Lou with
my mother for the rest of the vaca-
ton, and went off herself to Cali
fornia with friends.
Has Met the Other Woman.
''The problem is that I have met
the other woman. For two years
she has been my rest, my comfort,
my companion. want to make her
my wife. She is associated with me
in the Office, a widow of 81, no
child, no family other than a sister.
She is lovely, gentle, domestic, lone
ly. And God knows I am lonely!
Last summer Ann, her sister and I
often went to the cabin, for hours of
such perfect felicity as I suppose
few men ever know. We think alike,
feel alike, we need no other happi-
ness than that of being together.
"But Evelyn assures me that if
there is ever divorce she will de-
mand an alimony so great that
simply could not pay it. Out of my
salary of $500 month she will ask
for half, and support of Betty-Lou
as well. Ann and I might indeed
exist on what was left, but with my
insurance to pay, and the taxes on
my mothers little house, our income
would not be more than 81 900 a
year. The child she would so love
to have would hardly be welcome on
that!
Feels Trapped-Helpless.
81 feel trapped, maddened. My
marriage has not been a marriage
for many years-Evelyn knows that.
She actually dislikes me. She gives
nothing, takes everything. In the
beginning I tried hard for success;
gave her everything l could. Her
bills have now plunged me more
than $4,000 into debt. She says she
adores our child, neglects her for
days at time, then buys her new
frocks and candy and spoils her for
day or two. The atmosphere of
my home is unbearable, and yet
should ! force a divorce I am ru-
ined, I have nothing to offer Ann,
and the world will blame me for de-
serting that sweet little woman and
that lovely child.
''Is this deadlock? What can
do?"
Time May Offer a Solution.
My answer is; it is a deadlock,
and you must grin and bear it,
Don. There isn't any way out, at
the moment. Should Evelyn fall in
love with some other man and ask
divorce, that might be different.
