The Great Game of Politics
Fight to Extend 40-Hour Week Appeors
Lost Due TO Widespread Opposition

definitely lost. 1t Is not only that
the President has lined up practi-
cally every man in the sdminjstra-
ton. from Donald Nelson down,
against the extension but the big
gest employers with the largest war
contracts are also against 1t. Partly.
this Is due to the feeling among
them that it is not altogether
healthful at this time to oppose the
President and his aides on an issue
such as this,
But, there are other reasons. For
one thing they are not concerned
about the extra cost of the time and
time-and-a-half pay for more than
40 hours work. Most of them can
pass that cost directly on 10 the
Government, which means to the
taxpayers.
For another thing. they feel that
for Congress now to extend the
40 hours TO 48 hours against the
Presidents wishes and the labor
politicians threats easily might
cause so much labor resentment
and unrest that the benefits would
be lost.
Conceding that 1t would be fine II
the extension could be done with
out danger. and agreeing that there
is no excuse for the 4O-hour week
in wartime, still the big employers
say it Is not worth while, nor is 1t
wise. to force change at this time
and under these circumstances. So
it comes down to this-that the de-
sire for modification of the 40-hour-
a-week law comes from the small
plants that are not now working
more than 40 hours.
These cannot afford TO pay the
penalty wage rates. In consequence,
they are not producing as much as
they could and the men they employ
are getting less money than they
would II there were no penalty for
48 hours work.
There are many thousands of
these small firms all over the coun-
try working on both defense and
non n-defense work. But, In the main,
they are inarticulate when it comes
to expressing their views and max
ing themselves count in Washing
ton. 1t Is interesting and significant
that though the small businessmen
constitute the class the New Deal
has always looked upon with favor
and though the polls show 10 per
cent Of the people as o whole sup
porting an extension and though
production could be increased by
changing the law. the strength of
the labor leaders Is sufficient to
prevent action that would relieve
the first class. please the second
and achieve the third. That ought
not to be the situation, but 1t Is.

aegis OF the America F1rster. Col.
Mccormick of the Chicago
Tribune.
Ninety members met. and the
object of the meeting was TO
frame a resolution that would be
gilded DER with the tinsel Of pa
triotism and all out for victory"
but which would nevertheless
leave an ace in the hole in case
political opportunities should
shift.
Wendell willkie, of whom 1t has
been said-by Quentin Reynolds
that he may be a man without
party, but he is not q man
without o country" wanted a
powerful. absolutely committal
resolution that would pledge the
Republican party to complete
collaboration for the war effort
and to an abandonment of isola-
tionism once and for all, in peace
as well as in war.
As things stood on Monday. 1t
looked as though he would be
defeated. both in the subcom-
mittee Of seven and on the floor.
Won for Rank and File.
But Mr.. Willkie won. The reso-
luton adopted was, to all intents
and purposes. the one Mr.. Will
kie himself submitted. And he
won, just as he won the Republi-
can nomination. because Mr..
WILKES attitude is the attitude
of the country and of the mass
of Republican voters. Not Mr..
Mccormick, nor Curly" Brooks
nor any of the other isolationists
who are throwing monkey
wrenches of doubt into the war,
represent either the country or
the Republican party. The re-
action from the rank and file
throughout the Nation indicated
clearly that any halfway reso-
luton would be tantamount to
political suicide.
Therefore, Mr.. Willkie won.
Now this Is a fine thing, because
1t gives clear notice to our enc
mics that their perennial passion
for fishing in the waters of parti-
san differences Is sharply repudi-
ated. The war Is not Mr.. Roose-
velt's war; the war is our war,
the Nations war.
But the fact remains that this
Republican committee only acted
under public pressure. And
should certain candidates be sent
to Congress, the Nation will have
to depend on continuing public
pressure to keep them in line.
And public pressure, though 1t
Is a strong weapon before elec-
tions. does not always work after
elections. At any rate, 1t is a
foolish risk to take.
Must Not Repeat Error.
The tragedy of America and,
indeed, the probability of this
war, began with the Congress

about this business are clearer than
ever before.
The outstanding one. Of course, Is
that neither the executive nor the
legislative branch has shown even
reasonable firmness in meeting this
issue. Both have temporized in q
feeble and disheartening manner.
Between them they have allowed
the country to drift for the 18
months of our war preparations
with no real labor policy at all. It
still drifts. The cost In materials,
in time and in money has been very
great. The dissatisfaction among
the people, reflected in Congress, Is
intense.
So far as Mr.. Roosevelt is con-
cerned, he started out on the theory
that no legislation about strikes or
wages or hours or the closed shop
or anything else along labor lines
was necessary.
His influence successfully blocked
every effort Of Congress to legislate
in any of these directions. Compelled
now to modify his position. he still
insists upon keeping labor policy
wholly in his own hands and by per-
sonal request has had the Connally
bill debate In the Senate postponed
until he can present his recommen-
dations In a message and radio talk.
Probably this viii have the effect
Of again killing the more drastic of
the pending legislative proposals.
Probably 1t means enactment Of
bill embodying the concessions the
President has been able to obtain
from the tabor politicians with
whom he is allied and with whom
he has been consulting.
At least, that LIS the expectation.
OF course, no one can say In ad-
vance what these concessions win
be, but one thing seems certain
there will be no extension of the
40-hour week. That fight appears

The governments of the United
Nations are relying now on the
opposition OF the French people

of France into the war on the
side of the Axis.
The new NaZ gauleiter in
France. Pierre Laval. is reported
to have arrived in Paris to dis
cuSs with his German bosses the
best means of bringing about full
cooperation between the French
forces and the Reich.
There is no longer any ques-
ton, it Is believed in well-in-
formed quarters In Washington
and in London, that French bases
and varships will be placed at
the disposal of the Nazis. In

view of the fact that the Axis
must fight on two fronts in Eu-
rope, 1t will have to have the
collaboration of French troops.
On the surface this seems to be
an impossibility, If one reasons
that, regardless OF the wishes OF
pro-Nazi French leaders, French
men Of military age will not fight
for an enemy who, since the
downfall of France. has pressed
the population to the point Of
starvation.
Yet, 1t seems that Laval be-
lieves Gestapo methods. ef1icient-
ly applied, will bring results. Ac-
cording to reliable reports, several
adherents of the new French
government are already IN Ger
many looking over the prison
camps with a view to selecting
for military service some Of the
1000 900 men who are still kept
behind barbed wire or are being
used as laborers in various Nazi
industrial centers.
Truth Kept From Soldiers.
The Laval government, which
has the official blessing of Mar
shal Petain, will be described to
these men as the savior of France.
The men will be told they are
called once more to save France
from disaster, and in contrast to
1910, when they were fighting a
losing fight because of British
betrayal, this time they will have
the complete cooperation of the
most powerful military machine
In the world"
The doubts of many will be an
swered by mentioning the name

Well. we could have pumped the
hands of all the men and women
we called because their lists were
much more down our alley than
the choices Of the critics and their
pals.
Our poll was topped by Victor
Hugo's Les Miserables." Then came
Alice in Wonderland" Right be-

got good run for show money from
Norman Douglas South Wind"
After that it was pretty much OF
a scramble, with Robinson Crusoe,"
Tom Sawyer" ''Moby Dick" Count

and Lorna Doone."
David Copperfield" and oliver

as did "Gulliver's Travels" Uncle

Anna Karenina" and Swiss Fam

Others named by citizens which
the Eastern Psychological Society
would undoubtedly brand as twin
engined ignoramuses were Tess of
the DUrbervilles, Macbeth" hRo-
'meo and Juliet" Jane Eyre" and
Vanity Fair" One man brought
cheers from our society by naming
How to Mix Drinks" as the book
which had most affected his life.
This was published before 1900, he
said, and belonged in the list of any

of that.

trophe Of this war
At all costs a repetition Of this
experience must be avoided. But
confidence in Senators and Rep
resentatiyes depends upon two
things: The policy Of the parties
and the personal character and
ideas of the representatives.
In the first question we are in
happier position than we were
last week, for we have O clear
cut party pledge.
But the second question leads
us TO the problem OF personal po-
litical leadership.
Creates Following.
Political leadership is fore
sight. not hindsight. Political
leadership is characterized by the
power to form public opinion,
and not to bow to it. Mr.. Willkie
is, in this respect, genuine
political leader He does what
he thinks must be done and Gre
ates the political following to do
1t. Those who merely accept the
trends OF the times" are men
who have never had 1t out with
themselves concerning what they
really believe in and what they
think must be done. They have
not the strength or the vision
to translate a resolution into
reality.
This resolution represents the
will OF the mass of Republican
voters and Is a prescription for
candidates.
But confidence cannot be Gre
ated by mere admission of q
change Of heart. Those who
have shown no foresight in the
past are not likely to show 1t in
the future. for foresight Is an
intellectual and spiritual gift,
and cannot be created by the
acceptance of a resolution.
Test for Candidates.
Therefore, 1t Is the business of
the American voter. both in the
congressional primaries and In
the elections, to consider thought
fully and well the individual
candidates in both parties, both
on their past records and on the
degree of their present serious
ness. Did they believe that the
Neutrality Act would keep us out
of war? Did they vote for lease
lend, or the fertilization Of
Guam or for the Selective Serv-
ice Act? Have they supported
appropriations for our armed
services? Have they been inti-
mately associated with any of our
quasi-Fascists? Are they ready
to outlaw now our quasi-Fas-
cists2
These are questions TO ask OF
candidates of both parties, for no
party has a monopoly Of fore
sight or character.
The American people are con-
stantly asking, What further
can we dor" One thing we must
do Is to exercise our rights and
duties of citizenship, as voters,
with the utmost thoughtfulneSs
and care in these elections.
The records on candidates can
be obtained from such organiza-
tions as the League of Women
Voters, whose national address is
