Both a furuncle and a car

ton of $285 ,000, 900 for the proposed
st. Lawrence seaway-a plan which

revived. he calls 1t national-de-
fense measure, but this aspect is so
debatable and the whole aspect so
dubious that long ago it became
clear that it could not 60 through
either House or Senate on its merits.
Accordingly, the expedient was de-
vised Of putting 1t in the omnibus
rivers and harbors bill.
This was regarded as a very slick
trick indeed. The first and natural
effect Of the scheme was to put on
the committee tremendous pressure
from all quarters. Every member
with a pet improvement naturally
brought it out. If, it was argued,
the President could put his pet prof.
ect in this bill, there was no reason
others could not do so, too.
Pork" Well Distributed.
The result is that in the bill, be-
sides the s2S5 100000 for the St.
Lawrence seaway, there are sl97,-
100000 for the discredited Florida
ship canal and SIS 900 900 for the old
Tombigbee River project, which has
been batting around Congress for
years. These are the larger items

has been distributed in fairly equal
proportions between North and

are almost enough members with
personal stake In the bill to put it

Perhaps this is so. Nevertheless,
In both House and Senate there will
be a determined effort to cut out the
three big items-St. Lawrence sea-
way. Florida canal, Tombiebee
River. Particularly will the fight be
strong in the Senate. The passage
Of this bill in its present shape
would make a joke Of the Byrd COM

the work of the Byrd committee will
be nullified before 1t is well started.

Many responsible quarters IN
London and Washington have
pointed out for some time that
Hitler missed the bus last year
after the defeat OF France. Soon
after Marshal Petain signed the

statesmen say. Hitler could have
extended friendly hand to all

That is pretty serious charge to
lay against the public life of the

is abundant and convincing. There
are, in fact, so many instances that
the novelty has worn off. 1t is no
longer sensational when the words
of our higher public officials are
contradicted by their deeds.
Take, for example, the lrreconcil-
able nature of what is going on
today in House and Senate. The
contrast could not be greater. On
the Senate side. the Byrd COM
mittee has begun hearings looking
to the drastic curtailment of all
non-defense expenditures. The
President last January solemnly
warned that every non-essential ac-
tivity must be pared to the bone"
Gov. Mariner S. Eccles of the
Reserve Board has insisted that
only the deepest cut can avert
catastrophe. Secretary Morgenthau
has urged billion-dollar reduction.

to act. He himself kept on ne
gotlatlng-and succeeded. He
remembered that what he was
working for was unity, and that
unity is seldom achieved by the
employment of armed men.
Nevertheless, Congress must
still consider legislation to pre-
vent recurrent setbackS to pro-
duction.
But in considering labor legis-
lation, Congress will do well to
build from principle rather than
hasten into emergency DEGREES.
A basic principle of democracy
is that every right entails a re-
ciprocal duty. The object of labor
legislation should not be to make
labor less powerful but to give 1t
the responsibility commensurate
with its power. For power with
out responsibility corrupts, and
absolute power corrupts abso-
lutely.
Power in Closed Shop.
The closed shop gives trade
unions immense power. 1t makes
union membership compulsory,
and inaSmuch as 1t Is invariably
combined with the check-off
system. under which dues are
collected for the union by man.
agement out of the workers pay
envelopes, 1t involves compulsory
taxation.
This gives the union organiza-
tion an immense club over the
workers, for they cannot express
their opposition to union policy
or officials either by resigning
from the union or withholding
their dues. They cannot strike
against the union. And once the
closed shop is instituted 1t is
almost impossible to revoke 1t.
There are some practical argu-
ments for it in the possibility 1t
offers of stabilizing employer
labor relations.
But one thing is obvious, If We
are arguing from principle and
not from prejudice: No closed
shops should be allowed except
where the responsibilities of trade
unions are regulated by law. for
no private organizations should
be allowed to exercise that much
power except in conformity with
a code of fair practices. There
can be no groups in the country
that are above the law and above
the community. The very fact
Of the growing power Of unions
demands that they accept social
diciplines.
Often Face-Saving Device.
To compel any person to work
against his will Is slavery. and
legislation prohibiting the right
to strike should be avoided even
for q period Of emergency. But
to compel a minority to strike
against its will is tyranny, and
the protection Of the rights of
minorities is an essential of DEM
ocratic government. Actually, in
trade union practice, a minority
often compels a majority to
strike. Leaders, Who make de-

American officials who have

that none of these men repre-

personal interests.
While the Nazi panzers con-
tinue to rumble over Russia's
countryside and are expected to
roar into the Near East in the

High authorities in Washing

Santa Claus, to make such
proposal as Christmas present
to Britain and the United States.
1t is apparent. however. that
before the Fuehrer makes his last
attempt to consolidate his con-

America what amounts to an
