A major obstacle in speeding
up the machinery OF wartime
production Is that re-armament

be beyond any individuals con-

GREEN LET CAT
OUT OF BAG

w VT Dfo
William Green let an inter-
national cat out of the bag
when he revealed organized
labor's postwar plans and aims.
In demanding that the system Of
collective bargaining" be adopt
ed on a worldwide scale, the
AFL president disclosed new
deal schemes which may prove
embarrassing through prema-
ture publication.
President Roosevelt will advo-
cate League of New Deals
rather than a League Of Nations
at any peace conference. His
intimates here describe the
Roosevelt Churchill eight point
agreement as the blueprint for
an international new deal to
be imposed on both victim and
victor nations. In the field of
tariffs and economics and agri-
culture, Vice President Wallace
has given the tipoff in speeches
and writings. notably in New

bassador Winant, formerly head
of the International Labor Or
ganization. has been preaching
the philosophy OF International
ism as it affects labor.
Many industrialists and bust
ness men attached to the adj
ministration as defense aides
are beginning to subscribe to
these theories of New Dealized
universe. though they may differ
with specific plans. But there
are powerful groups here and
abroad who frankly dislike the
prospect of a social ana eco
nomic revolution along large
lines. That's why certain Roose-
veltians are trying TO entice Mr..
Green's cat back into the bag
for the duration.

leaders of political. economic and
social thought had written that
which was to become the foun-
dation on which would be built
the worlds greatest constitu-
tional government.
Much water has passed over
the wheel since that memorable
date. Through the machinery
provided by the makers. the con-
stitution has been amended to
meet new conditions as they
developed.
Sometimes selfish interests
have dragged the constitution in
the dust. Sometimes there has
been an attempt to use the con-
stitution to Cypress - TO apply
the letter rather than the spirit
expressed IN the preamble
But after a hundred and fifty
four years where can we turn
for better government than
that which has been built on the
constitution framed by such
leaders as Washington. Madison,
Hamilton and Franklin. In what
other country today do the peo-
pie have more voice In their
government, greater opportuni-
ties, and greater freedom?
One of the interesting books
on the constitution is the volume
by James M. Beck, THE Consti-
tuition Yesterday, Today and
Tomorrow" To emphasize the
meaning of the title the author
borrows an illustration from
Kipling's Jungle Book" in
which is described the habits of
the monkeys on which the nobler
members of the animal kingdom
looked with contempt.
The trouble with this simian
species or "Banderlog' was that
they had no memories. They
would chatter on the tree tops
with respect to their rights and
privileges and indulge in vain
boastings as to how they were
above the rest Of the world. But
lacking memory any new dis
traction would make them for
get all that they had resolved
a few moments before.
They were incapable of heroic
enterprises or reforms because
they lived only in the present
and continuity of thought or
action was impossible.
ANY nation that is unmindfuI
of yesterday and Indifferent TO
tomorrow and elves its whole
life ephemeral thoughts and
transient passions of today"
suffers from the same limitation
as the "Banderlog." Today
stands on the foundations of
yesterday and looks TO the fu-
ture for inspiration.

 Hartford, Conn, Nov. l9. UPl- A new kind of politica1 battle has broken out in Connect!cut's Demo. cratic party, one which promises to be far.reaching in its implications. It can be called the battle of Ideas"
 For some time, this correspondent has been chosing down reports of disaffection and discussion among Gov. Hurley's upper circle of elected state ofacials, The story now can be told.
 Lieut.. Gov. odell Shepard, secre- tary of State Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, State Comptroller John M. Dove and State Treasurer Frank Anastasio have jo.ned together in Q movement to set up what can ge called Q longtime democratic party program"-which will last not only through the war put through the reconstruction and beyond.
 Reported Concerned
 Mrs. Woodhouse and Shepard for some time have been concerned with the course the Democratic party in Connecticut has been fol- lowing. They are reported to have impressed on Gov. Hurley their feel- ing at something must be done in the Democratic party to take away the deep impression outside that politicians run the parry. Dove and Anastasio have jo.neo in.
 The main emphasis of this group Is to impress upon Gov. Hurley that "a state party" must be formed as opposed to any group around any one individual; that this a strug- gle between two ideas in govern ment-the liberal forward looking party as against one run by "politi- clans; that a long-range program must be started in the state that will last not only trough the war period but also beyond, one which will result in a better situation of living in the state after the war.
 Another aim of the group is to see that the top ideals of President Rooseyelt'S program are brought into realistic detail" in Connceti- cut.
 This quartet of elected state ofi- cials represents an unusual com- bination. Prof. Shepard is a school teacher, Mrs. Wodhouse is an econ- omist; Dove is an old-Lne eastern Connecticut Democrat; Anastasio a representative of a racial group. But all are in agreement, and hope that Gov. Hurley vii see things their way.
