A Reul Achievement

House passage of the leaSe-lend
bill by a substantial majority is
most important achievement, the
true significance of which is not i'm
paired by the fact that considerable
controversy attended its enactment.
With the passage of this measure
the House, in effect, serves notice
that the attempt to isolate the
United States from the rest of the
world is at an end. Nor is the intent
to abandon iSolatiOniSm to be i'm
puted only to those who voted to
enact the bill, for most of the mem
bers who cast their ballots against
It signified at some time during the
debate their acceptance of the meas
ure's basic philosophy-that our well
fare is definitely tied in with that
of Great Britain and other opponents
of a spreading totalitarianiSm. Diff
ferenceS there were, it is true, but in
the main these concerned the extent
to which our interests parallel those
of Britain and the lengths to which
We should go in attempting to safe
guard them by aiding England At
no point in the consideration of the
measure was there any important
body of opinion in the House which
opposed all aid to the British on the
ground that there was no common
interest worth defending.
This is indeed a most significant
departure from the state of mind
which prevailed when, in the shadow
OF war clouds gathering over Europe,
this Nation adopted a neutrality law
and an arms embargo in the sincere
but mistaken belief that We could
withdraw behind our own frontiers
and escape the consequences OF a
violent revolutionary movement
aimed at the total destruction of all
democracieS. The leaSe-lend bill
which now goes to the Senate is a
complete negation of that philosophy,
for it amounts to the giving Of official
notice that the people of the United
States, recognizing that their own
security is gravely endangered by the
conquest of other free nations, is
prepared to throw the great weight
Of its expanding resources into the
scales against aggression wherever
and whenever it seems to menace
this country. This is change of
io1o
to stop the aggressors at this late
date, is certain to place increasingly
formidable obstacles in the way of
their attempted conquests.
AS the measure goes to the Senate,
It carries a number of amendments
which represent concessions. Ad-
ministration leaders in the House
offered all but one of these modifica-
tiOnS on their own account, and did
not seek reconsideration Of the other
after it had been approved This
attitude of compromise undoubtedly
reflected, first, a desire to enlist as
much support as possible for the
bill, and, second, a belief that the
amendments, in themselves, would
not prevent the giving of full as
sistance to the British. 1t is to be
hoped that the bill will be handled
in the same spirit in the Senate and
with the same results, to the end
that this formal revision of our for
eign policy shall be inaugurated by
basically united rather than a dis
united neOnle.

Quotes Poet Not of an Age,
But for All Time"
To the Editor of The Star:


In these days when human beings are
differentiated by names. such as war
mongers, appeasers, capitalists, Com
munists, totalitarians, Christians, pagans,
etc, contemplation of the following quo
tation from Shakespeare may not be
altogether out Of order: II am Jew.
Hath not Jew eyes? Hath not Jew
hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affec-
tions, passions? Fed with the same
food, hurt with the same weapons, sub
ject to the same diseases, healed by the
same means, warmed and cooled by the
same winter and summer as q Christian
is? II you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh? II
you poison us. do we not die? And If you
wrong us, shall we not revenge?'

he refuses to comply with laws enacted
by Congress-the peoples representa-
tives. However I do not believe him to
Be disloyal or unpatriotic He is short
sighted when it comes to granting labor
its rights.
It is imperative that the Nation not
be retarded in its gigantic effort to re-
arm itself; but if labor were adequately
paid. its demands upon industry would
cease. Onethird of the people in this
country of ours are underfed. under
clothed, poorly housed and i'll in health.
1t is this class that will be benefited
by any gains that labor obtains. 1t is
automatic that we must be strong within
if we are to be strong without. Labors
gains must not now be forfeited
AS to the Selective Service Act, labor is
not exempt from call to join the Army
or Navy except that portion of labor
that is producing war materials. 1t is
because labor plays a vital part in ma
tional defense that it Is entitled to
decent livable wage.
Christianity teaches that we should
"do unto others as you would have them
do unto you and the Declaration of In
dependence declares that we hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal" Is it in keeping with
these immortal doctrines that labor
should be denied its share of that which
it has created? Is it radicalism to in
sist upon the right to unionize and, if
necessary, to strike to obtain that due
share? WILSON TYRRELL.

Believes Trouble In the World
Traces Back to Neglect of God.

Traces DdCh u ANtStttt VI oVu'
To the Editor of The Star: .,
None of us is perfect; if we were only
half as responsive to the word Of God as
we sometimes pretend to be, the world
would be better place in which to live.
Sometimes, when the going is hard,
we blame others for our shortcomings.
And those others blame us.
Today capital represented by indus
trialists and financiers, and labor, repre-
sented by. the unions, are each condemn
ing the other. Neither reflects; both
have forgotten one of the Ten Com
mandments: Thou shalt not covet they
neighbours house nor anything
that is thy neighbours" The brevity is
mine. And the other command: Thou
shalt not steal"
In the resultant struggle brother is
aligned against brother, neighbor against
neighbor. father against son, because
none Of us has as yet given God chance.

FINANCIAL
M. s. RukeySer:
Economic Commentator

From my viewpoint. the mod
ernization and streamllnIng OF
the British nation requires not
collectivization. which would
spell retrogreSsion. but rather
development along the lines of
a balanced national economy.
Brltain's economy. with great
dependence on imports for food
Stuffs, is set up for peace, not
for war. Even in peace. the
Setup IS partly obsolete. because
il is attuned 10 mid-victorian
free trade in a world in which
other nations. unwilling TO re-
main exclusive raw material
producers, have been seeking TO
diversity their own national
economies. Thus the old free
trade balance between England,

and Experimentation custom

Testifes Before TNEC

For example. there are the
ideas just presented by one,
Mordecai EZekial, who has a job
In the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. and feels
called upon to testify before
the TNEC. What he says that
he wants 10 do is to modify our
capitalistic economy" What his
ideas would actually do. if
adopted, would be TO turn our
country into a communistic die
tarorship.
Very briefly summarized. his
cardinal doctrines. as presented
y. his testimony, are as fol-
lows:
He holds that any sort of
human exertion is employ
ment." and that full employment
no matter what it isis good.
He says that the defense pro-
gram has conquered unemploy-
ment" for the present. but that
later we will have to change
things so that full employment
can be attained even after the
defense expenditure If it lasts
long enough. however, I'VE will
have conquered unemployment
by the same means that the
Fascist countries have con-
quered it"
