could claim a half interest in the

THE AMERICAN MUSEUM

(Christian Science Monitor)
Too many good things are taken for
granted American museums are a type
of such boons Yet Robert Moses, New
York City Park Commissioner. protests,
There must be less emphasis on wealth,
old family and big-game hunting and
more on representing great masses OF
people, potentially interested IN the mu-
seums and their work"
Perhaps twenty-five years ago muse
ums might have been justly reproached
with "stuffness" and with being merely
repositories for paintings, mummies, an
cient bronzes, Roman javelins, and so
forth, but can anyone doubt the emphasis
of the modern American museum on
representing great masses of people?
In New York the Metropolitan Museum
of Art alone teens with activity planned
especially for the masses" Among its
public services are guided tours of the
galleries, educational films, lectures,
talks, story hours, free concerts, and
circulating exhibitions sent to schools,
settlement houses and branch libraries.
Rusty as it may seem to Mr.. Moses, 1t
has added to its galleries of old masters
some of the works of the undoubtedly
modern Mr.. Disney
What goes on in the Metropolitan is
typical of museum educational work and
"democratizing" Of art throughout the
country In most of the large cities muse
ums are conducting lectures and classes
in the applied arts, for interior decorat-
ors, book illustrators, costume designers,

STRIKE REASONING
WONT HOLD WATER

The federal administration, in spite
of some trend in the other direction, has
gone out of its way several times in re-
cent days to scott at the danger to the
national defense program from labor
strikes.
Yet the administration has almost SIM
ultaneously applied the term blind Wis
ionary' to those who scott at the danger
of Nazi aggression against the United
States
The administration ignores the exam
pie of France, where labor troubles
started much as they started in this
country and eventually caused an in
dustrial impasse that had much to do
with the downfall of the nation.
Yet the administration cited to oppo-
nents of its lend-lease bill the examples
Of Holland, Belgium and Norway, where
national leaders adopted the theory that
Germany would never ATTEMPT aggres-
sion against them.
We cannot agree with the reasoning
which encompasses one. danger and ig-
nores the other entirely.
We agree with the administration that
there is a danger to this country if Ger
many wins the war in Europe We are
inclined to the belief that those who
oppose immediate, complete aid to Great
DIildlI dIt ClOSlllS lllSiI yes W lIle util-
onstrated facts of recent history.
But we believe the administration
should not close its own eyes to the in
ternal dangers arising from an unbear-
able amount of labor racketeering in ma
tional defense industries. We believe the
administration should remember France,
as we'll as Holland, Belgium and the
others.
1t is true that labor strife has not i'm
paired national defense to a major de-
gree as yet The same was true lin
France up TO the last minute. But when
the crisis actually arrived in France, it
was too late for the French government
to do anything about it. Are We going
to let bad situation exist here, with its
potential dynamite unquenched, until it
is too late for US, also, to do anything
about it?
No sensible person should want to
"enslave' labor nor take away any of the
rights of the working man. But there
should be some curb worked out on the
power relegated to persons who are no
more and no less than racketeers feeding
upon both labor and industry. Their
selfishness recognizes no defense emer-
gency.
They must be made to recognize it.
