PRESIDENTS DUTY

To all practical intents, il is the

the interests of the nation in time:

powers OF the executive are very

In the very nature OF the case.
therefore, and with the fullest
legality, important decisions OF
far reaching effect must be
taken by the President both In
his capacity as chief executive
and In his capacity a. COM

leaders on the legislative battles
that lie ahead on two far-reaching
proposals.
Presidential Secretary Stephen
7. Early said Mr.. Roosevelt had
extensive telephon conversations
during the last two days on the
controversial issue of price fixing
and the recent recommendations of
Gen. George c. Marshall, army
chief of staff.
Marshall recommended to Secre-

permit American soldiers to 60 any

draftees. guardsmen and reservists
in training for more than one year.

Let President Decide ON War.
Catholic Bishop Asks Nation
People Lack the Facts
and Experience,
Prelate Says

WASHINGTON, July THE
American people arc TOO inexper
enced to decide the major issues
of policy facing the United States
in a war-torn world and must
place their faith in President
Roosevelt 10 make such decisions
the Most Rev. Joseph p. Hurley
DID, bishop Of the Roman Catho-
lie diocese Of 81. Augustine, Fla,
said in a nationwide radio broad
cast.
Bishop Hurley affirmed his abid-
ing faith in government by the
people, but said that important
decisions of far-reaching effect
must be taken by the President.
Posing the question of who shall
decide when the nation is CON
fronted with a conflict between
aid 10 the Allies and avoidance OF
war" he said:
Certainly not the people, for
they have neither the expert
ence, nor access to the facts.
nor in many cases the under
standing which are required
adding:
"Nor does the Constitution
demand e."
CONGRESS- PART
The full decision does not rest
even with Congress, Bishop Hurley
said.
"To the Congress, under the
Constitution, belongs the weighty
responsibility OF declaring war"
he said.
That II clear, but I am afraid
that Il IL not a complete answer
to the practical question. For IL
m manifestly impossible that the
day-to-day decisions which must
be taken often In the greatest
secrecy should be submitted to
the Congress for discussion.
"Such matters are lawfully
the competence Of the execu-
tive"
Events in the world have
reached a point where, Bishop
Hurley declared, il is becoming
more and more apparent that "our
only choice is when we shall enter
the war"
The questions facing America,
he said. are:
shall we enter the war
now or later?
2-Shall we enter the war on
our own terms or on terms die
tated by Nazi strategy?
3-Shall we enter the war
with allies or shall we bear the
brunt of IL alone?

about Tom Ydmkey


In the first place, the Red Sox
owner is one of the keenest base
ball followers anyone ever saw.
In the second place, he is the
type that wants to win far beyond
the average human being.
Tom Yawkey may not show it,
but on the inside he is a tough loser,
no matter what the competition. If
he hadn't been, Tom would have
called it day or a season some time
ago. He is an extremely genial, lib
eral citizen, but baseball to him is
no idle plaything. Winning an Amer
lean league pennant is now an OBJ
session, a matter of personal pride
that goes beyond any concern with
money.
He has put his full faith in Joe
Cronin and he has backed Cronin
up from start to finish.
In the last two years Yawkey has
followed his ball club all over the
map. He starts with his men in
their spring training around Sara
sofa, and rarely ever gets out of
reach.
They like him-and he likes them.
Try to suggest that some other ball
club has better player in some po-
sition and you jump into the middle
of hot debate.
He realizes that his pitching has
never been what it should be. He'd
give 10000 tomorrow for pitch
er good enough to win 20 games or
more. He has already shoveled in
too much gold to start baking at
mere 100000.
But the trouble is you can't find
them, no matter how much cash
you have. Outside of Bob Feller,
how many pitchers in the American
league could be guaranteed for
20-game season? And good clubs are
not selling their best pitchers at any
orioa

Underground Ticker Tape:

The most illustrative underground
story circulated in Germany is about
the time Goering visited the direc-
tor of an important munitions plant
and asked him if there were still
any Social Democrats, Catholic Cen
trists or members of the other out
lawed parties among his workers
"Well," said the director,
"about 40 per cent of the workers
in my factory are Social Democrats,
about 80 per cent Catholic Centrists,
and about 80 per cent are still men,
bers of the other outlawed parties"
-. Forty per cent, 30 per cent, and
80 per cent?" beloved Goering.
'That makes 100 per cent? Aren't
any of your workers Nazis?"
ooh, of course" was the. reply,
"they are all Nazis!"
During the early days of the Nazi
occupation of Paris, whenever Ger
man officers entered a cafe, the
French patrons would promptly get
up and walk out. This so Infatuated
the conquerors that they issued an
edict forbidding Frenchmen to leave
cafe for at least Is minutes after
the entrance of a German officer
. . After that, whenever German
officer entered a cafe, the French
men present would reach into their
pockets and pull out small alarm
clocks, which they set and pHaced on
the table. At the end of Is minutes,
the alarms would 60 off all over the
place, and the Frenchmen would
rush for the doors!
In Holland, on Prince Bernhard's
birthday, all loyal Dutch citizens
wore white carnation, the princes
favorite flower, as symbol of de-
fance to the Nazis. Angered by this
display of "insolence" on the part
of the conquered people, the Nazis
went around tearing the carnations
from the coats of passersby A
short while later, Dutch sailors
made their appearance on the
streets and in cafes with carnations
prominently displayed on their
chests. The Nazis soon desisted
from tearing them off The car
nations worn by the sailors con-
tanned ingeniously concealed razor
blades.
In Holland, one of the big prob
lens in the underground warfare
against the conquerors is how to find
out who can be trusted. One couple
solved it in this manner: A few
minutes before two o'clock every
afternoon, the wife shouted to her
husband, who was working in the
garden, Come in, dear. It's al
most two o'clock" Two o'clock be-
ing the time for a London news
broadcast, their next-door neighbors
reported them to the Gestapo e.
The Gestapo didn't arrest the couple,
however, because they were able to
prove that they didn't own a radio
But their neighbors had swal-
lowed the bait and unmasked them
selves as Nazi stool-pigeons.
Ever since the Nazis conquered
Holland, the natives have been for
hidden to listen to the Dutch broad
casts from London, but most of
them defy the regulation, at the risk
of their lives One Dutch wom-
an, who was recently caught listen
