WhereLeudership
Is Found
BY DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

Most Of US are sitting back in these
perplexing times, waiting for su-
perman to arise who will lead US out
Of the wilderness in which the world
| is now aimlessly wandering. We are
telling each other that the greatest
need is that of leadership" We hear
it from the platform in sonorous
tones. We read it in the daily news
papers in stately editorials. The pulpit
and the press enlarge upon the quail
ties which must be found in the man
for whom we look. 1t is rather strik-
ing that we never discover these
qualities in our "savors" until after
they are long time dead.
Usually, leaders and prophets are
first crucified, and then canonized, al
though our greatest emancipators
never sought greatness nor courted
popularity. They simply tried to
serve humanity with unusual devotion
and simplicity. it was said Of the
greatest leader in all history that
che took upon himself the form of a
servant" and that che made himself
of no reputation
We are often reminded that there
are no "great men" in the world to.
day. Because common humanity
has attained so high degree Of intel
ligence and understanding, and be-
cause the fund of knowledge has beer
so widely distributed, it is literally
true that giants are rarely found
even in the professions, the sciences
the arts, the industries.
In nearly every country in tht
world, most of the leaders today have
come up from the common people
This is true not only in those coun
tries which are recognized as democ
racies, but in countries which arr
monarchies, governed ostensibly b!
kings and princes and exclusive par
liaments. The hope Of democracy lie'
in the fact that neither wealth no.
social position is necessary in secur
ing recognition Of real ability, ant
this applies particularly to the task
whose chief function is that Of inter
probation and public leadership.
If such recognition were denied tn,
representatives of the common people
there would be ground for the CLAIM
of the communist and the radical agi
tator of the other schools that Ameri
can institutions having failed, tn
time has come to set up new socia
order which will discard the found
ations upon which our country ha
been built But such is not the case
There probably is no other country il
the world in which the humblest O
it's people may rise to greater posi-
tions of eminence and leadership, thai
in the United States. This has beel
the glory of America.

Smushes Cunurd That
Labor flinders Output

Washington, D. C.-The Depart
ment of Labor again knocked into
smithereens propaganda that strikes
are hindering the national defense
program.
Publishing figures proving conclu-
sively that strikes have been running
month by month fully fifty per cent
less in number than last year, the
Department emphasized that only one
third as many man-days have been
lost.
In addition, it was explained that
most Of the strikes were in monde
fense industries, or in plants having
only an infinitesimal relationship to
the defense program.
Moreover, Labor Department Off
cials declared that in the past six
months strikes have not only been
far less than in 1889, but consider
ably below the war year of 1917.

More Curbs Weighed
On Campaign Spending

Washington, D. C.-Observers here
predicted that additional measures to
restrict political contributions in ma
tional elections may be considered at
the coming session of Congress. This
belief was confirmed by the action of
Chairman Gillette of the Senate Cam
paign Expenditures Committee in rec
ommending that committee members
study a number of proposals for re-
stricting both individual gifts and the
total expenditures by party organiza-
tions.
Although the Hatch Act fixes $3,-
100000 as the maximum expenditure
for party committees in one year and
specifies that individual gifts must not
exceed $5,CO0, Senator Gillette has es-
.imated that more than S20,000,OC0
was spent in the November Presiden-
tial election.
This came about, he said, because
of multiple organizations for candi-
dates. Each organization, he ex-
planned, contended that the only linn
itation on it's expenditures was the
S3,O00,OO0 set by the law. Further
more, contributions to local and State
campaigns were exempted from the
5000 individual limitation.

U. S. Travel Expense
Exceeds $99.OOO,OOO

Washington, D. C.-After examin-
ing all appropriation bills for the
fiscal year ending last June 80, Rep
resentative Dirksen of Illinois stated
that during this period representa-
tives of the Federal Government spent
$99,286,641 for travelling. Of this
amount the War Department topped
the list with an expenditure of $685.
493,120, followed by the Department
of Agriculture, $15,694,711, and the
Federal Security Agency $15,149,162.
The Department of Labor was listed
as having spent $92S,827 The Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corporation
was on record as having spent the
smallest amount for travel during the
year, $504 ,791.

Ending Of Jobless
Problem Visioned
Miss Perkins SuYs Defense
Plan Promises Worl,
For Millions

Washington, D. C.-Confdence that
the national defense program during
the next year will provide enough
work to solve the unemployment prob
lem was expressed here by Secretary
Of Labor Frances Perkins in a radio
address over the Mutual Broadcasting
System network discussing "Amer-
ica's Outlook for 1941."
Pointing out that the Department
Of Labor estimated that between five
and six million jobless would be pro-
vided with work during the coming
year, Miss Perkins said:
''The labor outlook for 1941 is
bright. Bright as to job opportuni-
ties, bright as to increased earnings
for workers and with every indica-
ton pointing to continued and hearty
cooperation by labor with industrial
and all other groups so that our de-
fense program may be speeded up
and carried through successfully for
the safety Of America, its democratic
institutions and all of its citizens.
"The completion Of work provided
for in present defense appropriation
acts will require between four and
five million workers. About half of
these will be needed on construction
jobs, in shipyards, or in factories en-
gagged in making finished products
such as airplanes and engines, tanks
and shells. The other half will be
needed primarily to supply contrac.
tors with materials"

The trainees, all certified WPA
workers from Duluth, are receiving eX-
tensive instructions in the rudiments
of servicing airplanes, cleaning motor
parts, patching wings, navigation,
radio meteorology, aeronautical me-
chanics and other subjects pertinent
to maintenance of aircraft. The course
will be thorough enough to enable the
men to take over responsible ground
crew duties in any large airport i'm
mediately upon completion of their
training.
Importance of the program is the
necessity to supply ground crewmen
for the some $4,000 airplane pilots
now being trained by the government.
