IT'S A GREAT
AMERICAN CUSTOM

If GOVernOr-Elect Earl arrCn can
put over on a wider scale the thought he
left with the executive committee OF the
state council of defense the other day,
he is liable to change the whole course
of American life from the legislative
halls of congress clear down to our own
city council in Ell Centre.
Said Warren, after listening all morn
ing to the reading of routine sub-com-
mittee reports to the executive commit
tee:
.What we have listened to here could
have been sent through the mails Tor a
two-cent stamp instead of calling this
group together.
The thought is SO startling as to be
historic 1t runs contrary. many Will
tell you, TO the very basic practice OF the
Genus Americanus. Consider What
would our meetings be without vocal
committee reports on the shortage ot
sparrow feed. the evils Of overindulgence
in turkey. the moisture content of fog.
and such like items of grave import?
Suppose our practical legislators dis
pensed with lengthy, boring dlScourSes
which have no other goal than to prove
in the Congressional Record that the
hometown boy is on the job? Suppose
our state legislature did away with COM
mittee reports which are promptly filed
in the ITO Be Forgotten Immediately
file? Suppose our county board of super
visors and our city councils refused to
spend half their time listening to MIN
utes of previous meetings. Seading COM
plicated resolutions which nobody can
understand and discussing at length
items which could be taken care of in five
minutes?
1t would be terrible We might even
begin to wonder what we were paying
them for.
What if our various civic organizations
concentrated more on getting something
done and less on listening to one another
talk? 1t would be practically un5ear-
cable. There would be so much done at
one meeting that we wouldn't have any
--place to go next week.
: Your idea was good. Mr.. Warren but
we don't think it is going over. 1t would
show too many people up as good takers
~but poor doors.

THE RED BADGE
OF COURAGE
(NatSonvillc RegiSter)

(NatSonNlllc ReglSter)
The great word that has been written
in flaming letters 10y Americans in the
war to date is-COURAGE. We haven't
talked too much about it, in specific
terms. we haven't been aStoniShed that 1t
was true. we perhaps haven't even reallz-
ed fully how the tabled qualities of valor
and gallantry have risen. naturally. auto
matically. to dominate our war opera
tions on every front.
Before we went in. our enemies told us
we wei "decadent," soft. that we were
dollar patriots, that our way OF life was
rotten at the core. Whether any large
segment OF our people believed this anal
XSiS to Ee true or nol, we all did know
that America for half a century has been
concentrating on machinery. on produc-
ton. on industrial and business organiza-
ton. on non-Warlike activities and pur-
poses We had done little flag-waving,
little sabre-rattling. We were not war-
rior nation.
1t was natural to suppose that once we
did get into the conflict we would do
reasonable smooth and gigantic job OF
armament production; and this we nave
don't. 1t was inevitable that our young
men. given sufficient training, would be-
come skilled filters. competent tank oper-
ators. deadly marksmen with naval guns,
tommy guns. and grenades. But was it
certain. or even probable, that those su-
perb young mechanics would, with this
national background, rise on every occa-
sion to heights of bravery and heroism
in using their weapons.
Yet. from the beginning-Bataan and
before-gallantry fortitude, and bold
ness have rung through every story. Colin
Kelly-flights of torpedo bombers swoop-
ing in at close quarters to sink Jap war
ships though their crews knew they would
not return-torpedo patrol boats in un-
believable forays = Marines on Wake,
Midway and a score of other islands
showing a mettle and daring that rank
with the heroic ancient sages-" Sighted
sub. sank same'-men on raft enduring
untold hardships and amazing ingenuity

est order-an American cruiser force

between two far heavier enemy columns
and wrecking them, with Old Glory fly

THE FIERY FRENCH

Gen Charles DeGaulle of the Fighting
French has added nothing to his stature
by lessening his own activities against
. the Germans simply because he objects
to Allied dealings with Admiral Jean
Francois Darlan in North Africa.
.~ The United Nations gained Dakar and
the rest of French West Africa without
bloodshed because of their use Of Oar
Ian The lives of many Frenchmen were
saved because Allied leaders accepted
the apparently belated loyalty OF one
other Frenchman. The conquest of
French North Africa was speeded up by
weeks for the same reason.
Would DeGaulle prefer that this valu-
able time be lost, and that the lives Of
numberless of his innocent countrymcn
be sacrificed, simply on an issue of pre-
judice and possibly misguided honor?
DeGaulle said, "As long as Darlan is
retained in North Africa, feel cannot
conscentously continue
Someone ought to ask him. is this a
war we're fighting, or a tea table duel for
social honOrS.
As for us. we cannot see that it is time

LAVAL ON TOP
(Christian Science Monitor)

c CHRISTIAN Science MOnllOl)
Petain was a symbol of France-not OF
the Third Republic, of course, but yet of
France as a continuing nation.
Darlan was symbol of authority de-
irving sanction from the Petain regime.
But Laval is only Laval.
Where many Frenchmen had doubts
about the legality Of Vichy, not many
can have doubts about the illegality OF
Laval.
That the reapportOnmento of the Auver-
gnat as heir presumptive' was not
voluntary act of Petain is borne out by
the history Of the relationship of the
two men. retain ouSted Laval from this
post in December, 1910, in favor of Dar-
ian. partly because Of the pro-Nazi deal
ings which Laval carried on behind Mar
Yhal Petain's back and partly, no doubt
because Of the menace to the marshal. S
own position and some say even to his
life, while Laval remained heir to the
marshal's power.
Laval came back. Last April he re-
sumed his position but under orders to
make strict accounting of his acts to
Marshal Petain, and without title to the
Vichy "succession.' Now the Marshal
has conferred on his erstwhile subordl-
nate power on his simple signature
alone to make laws and issue DEGREES,
Laval today is accountable only TO the

doms which are the corncrstones

The Communist party is not, like
the Republican, Democratic or So

The Communist party is an Off

the Soviet embassies, conSulates,

No person can become or remain
a member of the party unless he or

any more than an embassy or con-
sular employee could retain his job
if he was not wholly obedlent and
did not work first and always for
the interests of the Soviet.
The rank and file Communists
do not formulate policy. They exc
cute orders. These orders come
from party officials. The Sccrc-
tary is the liaison man between
