Good FOR the Teachers

4 EMBERS Of the American Federation of Teachers,
wi in convention here this week proved their sound and
thorough patriotism by barring Communists Nazis and
Fascsts from their organization.
They were wise in their determination that avowed
members of anAmercan political faiths cannot instruct
children without least subconscously trying to IN
nocuate their pupils with the tenets of those undemo
cratic faiths X
SO long as American school teachers stang firmly
by this decision they will continue to rank asthey always
have as patriots of highest caliber. ~
Dr. Abraham hefkowitz of Brooklyn, founder of the
federation reminded them of this fact when at the clos
ing session he referred to the public schools under their
administration as constituting the cradle of democracy
Our lower schools just that because in them the next
generation Of Americans is being shaped and guided

Extremely Foo|hardy

IN GIVING end-lease aid to Great Britain and ether
antiAxs nations, it is highly important that our gov
eminent reverse its policy of withholding needed equip
ment from the American commercial airlines
Both defense and civilian needs served by an
efficient swift and well maintained commercial air service
in the United States
In the event of war such service will prove i'm
mensey valuable adjunct to the army and navy air fleets
In the circumstances, any tendency to cripple civil
aviation in the of national defense constitutes an
ironic jest.
necessary flow of new and improved equipment to the
commercial air lines.
THEIR magnificent record of safety and progress con-
stutes an epic chapter in the social usefulness Of
private enterprise
The executives of the Is privately owned lines have
shown commendable social conscience in their rugged
determination through the years to provide the utmost
In safety for their passengers.
Their achievement has been no lucky but
the result of careful planning of decision to sacrifice
profits through cancelng flights in bad weather and
through zeaousness in maintaining the fleets at nigh
rate of efficiency.
No clumsy bureaucratic interference should vitiate
this sterling performance.
A NY tendency to skmp on maintenance or
"A age planes ON account of bureaucratic orders Will
invite deterioration of air service and may
disasters.
This is so patiently self-evident that is extraordi-
nary that there must be public agitation for sheer COM
mon sense.
Mayor LaGuarda should be commended for the
admonition which he recently gave Pointing out that
united states COuiQ not relHQuSn COlH-
mercal airplanes TO the British without harm to the
arlnes here, Mr. LaGuardia warned:
I'VE need our transport planes here and we need
them badly. After all. we've given great many mill
tary planes and well continue to give them

OBVIOUSLY the transportation arteries of the
~ United States basic elements of the national de-
tense and Of the welfare of the civilian population.
In addition, the air lines through lightning passenger
and freight service accelerate production for home de-
Tense and aid TO other nations.
Not only should the Withdrawal of commercial planes
but the federal policy should be reversed in order
TO permit ALLEGATION of planes and parts for normal
replacement maintenance, and progress.
Any other course would be FOOLHAEDY in the
extreme.

Social ism
Alien TO
II. S. Freed dom
BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

IF things only worked out ac-
l. tually as they are put down
on paper! But they do not.
If hlueprints were facts we'd
all be getting $500 week and
living at the Waldorf.
These remarks were inspired
by a letter 10 March of Events
from Mr.. Will II. Kindig of Los
Angeles, Cal. II is a blast for
socialism, and one Of the most
speciously enticing I've ever seen
on paper-to wit:
"Our post office, schools, good
roads, bridges, flood control
dams are absolutely socialistic.
Also our fire departments, our
police departments, our sewer
systems, most of our water
systems, and some of our street
railways.
Wouldn't IL be awful To give
a private company the right to
put out fires and then pay them
a profit on what they dove
wouldn't think Of giving a
private company franchise To
put in a sewer system and pay
IL n profit for handling our
sewage. Socialism demands that
the public own the public neces-
stiles 80 as to make more secure
the private ownership Of private
necessities"
For a government or city TO
run those utilities which Mr..
Kindig has outlined above is not
absolutely" soeialistic. In fact,
il is not socialistic at all.
Those activities belong to the
legitimate functions of govern
ment-with the probable excep-
ton of the post office. which
has always been in question. For
if the government has the right
TO transport mails why does it
allow private enterprise TO
transport anything
HOWEVER, l concede that the
IL mails are efficiently man.

which proves that the govern
ment is always an incompetent
business manager Nook at the
busted" condition of our treas
ury todayD
Mr.. Kindig also feels" that
the telegraph system should be
incorporated with our post office
system. -
Post office is today the nucleus
Of a bureaucratic censorship of
all printed matter. II we should
add 10 that our telegraph system,
why not the telephone system?
And how long would il be before
all that we telegraphed. wrote
or said would be Gestapoed?
Absolute socialism" would be
the public ownership OF all the
means of production, distribu-
ton and transportation" OF pub
lie necessities. The government,
of course. would decide what
are public necessities.
That will mean communism.

Best, Miss Thompson Finds
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

/ ONDON -- tby wireless -
II My own technique in report
ing is to ask the same question
of as many different people as
/ can reach and then see what
the sum of the answers is. So
j have asked a question which is
interesting either from a social.
military, biological or psyche
logical viewpoint:
What sort of person stands up
best in the blitz? Who runs TO
cover and who doesn't? Who
thinks first Of the other fellow
and who thinks first of himself?
Who suffers nervous collapse
and who energies cool and smil-
ing?
There is no doubt about the
answer. Persons who have
shown the most cool-headedness,
swiftness in action in an emer-
gency and sheer courage are that
long-despised middle class.
Those who have gotten out of
it all by evacuating themselves
10 pleasant places in the country
far from military detectives and
near good inns and golf courses
have been the well-to-do.
TIIE poor often have gone 10
L pieces, at least for the mo-
ment. But men and women
from five-room flats and seven
room houses have been cool,
nonchalant heroes.
Which middle-class occupa-
tons have shown the highest
standard OF behavior?
Again the answer is unani-
mous-the free professions. Gu
riously. perhaps astoniShlngly,
the intellectuals. Doctors, law
yers, school teachers, pastors,
engineers. dentists. journalists.
writer's, artists and actors-they
are far above the small or large
businessmen: they and skilled
workers-railroad men. skilled
mechanics. machine-tool makers
and operators.
Persons whom their friends
have regarded as neurotlcs.
highly-Strung, nervous ladies.
gentlemen with tendencies TO
develop stomach ulcers get gold
stars for their blitz behavior.
DACE doesn't count. The
IL record is the same for Eng
lishmen and for the French,
Dutch. Scandinavian, Belgian
and Jewish refugees.
II is the journalist. dentist or
engineer in the block who gets
out first and stands exposed on
the roof of building, watching
a fire. doses incendiary bombs or
mans ambulanceS (women do
the same) and then wiSecracks
through the horror Of the blitZ.
The behavior of everybody In
the islands. even though they
have been a hell on earth, is
above praise.
But the supers are boys and
girls who are earning their Nv
ing by their brains. Why?
Well, first of all they are ac-
,cuStomed TO concentrated intel
leptual effort. and the emer-
gency calls II forth.
Second, they are persons ac-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS thinking,
and apparently that has some
effect on character. Their minds

Third. they have had an edu-
cation that has induced certain
standards of behavior.
