OUR LOSS
THE
NATIONS
GAIN

TACH one of the many
L. men who are daily step
ping out of the dress of the
telephone worker into the
uniform of our nations de.
tenders, is a distinct loss to
the telephone organization,
but a valuable asset to our
nations defense.
They are men already
trained, self disciplined and
imbued with the true spirit
of service which develops
steadiness and self-reliance
under the strain of emergen-
cies. Bell Telephone work
ers acquire these Characters
tics through training, and the
experience gained in main
tanning the Bell Systems
ideals of service.
While these telephone
men are performing their
duties to the nation, they
and their families feel Sc
cure in the knowledge that
when their country no long
er needs them in its armed
services there is a place
awaiting them with the tele-
phone company.
At home are $4,000 tele-
phone workers, who, though
not wearing the uniforms of
our nations defenders, are
working tremendously to
expand and safeguard the
lines of telephone oommuni-
cation so vital TO the nations
defense program.

The lead article in the news week
w. Time. last week might have
caused gleeful murmurings and l.
told you-sos among straight-laced
partisans who have always felt that
the foundations of the Roosevelt pol
icies and attitudes were built in
securely-if we were living in or
binary times.
But to Americans who are now
thinking not in terms of present or
immediate future party advantages,
and they are the big body of Amer
leans, the revelations and conclu-
sions that were to be drawn could
only be disturbing and distressing
The president is i'll; is looking as
bad as any man can look and still
be about was the way this publ
cation put it. Supposedly he has
been placing major responsibility
for the heavy tasks Of war prepared
ness upon four men, Hull, Knox,
Stimson and Hopkins. None has the
capacities that equal the response
bility, A.
Hull is growing old, is careworn,
often does not know what is going
on in his intrigue-ridden depart
ment." Stinlson is still older and in
poor health, Hopkins can only work
a few hours a day and has to give
up from fatigue because Of his frail
condition. Knox is full of vigor--
but ice cold appraisers appraise
only his muscles Every time he
makes talk the knowing insiders
groan and declare "the old man is
shooting the breeze again.
The writer OF this gloomy tale OF
i'll health and incompetence among
presidential key advisers makes a
statement similar to that made by
Raymond Moley in an article in the
Saturday Evening Post about year
ago. that Franklin Roosevelt cannot
bring himself to fire anybody, high
or low. When one whom he has
selected for an important post does
not live up to the responsibilities
he either shifts him to another spot
or creates new agency to take
over the duties. We can believe this
when we remember his LOYALTY tC
the classical misfit, Ma Perkins.

dent is to be commended, in rela-
ton to kindly treatment OF sub

these might lead him and his coun-

and when he finds that he has Sc

positions who do not measure uE

was an occasion for tribute to the
boys in Blue and in Gray, whose
courage and sacrifice held the North
and the South into a union of in
separable states. Today we honor
the heroes of all American wars,
both men and women.
1t is good for us to give ourselves
to such meditation. None of our
great wars have been fought for
territorial gains. Those who gave
their all for their country fought
for great principles and precious
