We Are All Americans

We hold all wars to be
deplorable. Once a nation
is drawn into war, however,
unless an honorable peace
may be secured betimes, it
would be disastrous to be
beaten in that war. There
fore we hold it the duty Of
all loyal American citizens
to do all in their power to
help our country, the United
States of America, to win
its present war.

Diocesan Delegates
Hear Charge Tonight
By Bishop Freeman
Convention Opening
Tomorrow to Stress
Wartime Activities

The Right Rev. James E. Free
man, Bishop Of Washington, will
deliver his annual charge to the
clergy and lay delegates of the
Diocese OF Washington at 8 o'clock
tonight In the Church Of the Epiph-
any, 1917 G street NV. as a pre-
lude to the 47th annual diocesan
convention there tomorrow and
Thursday.
He is expected to stress the i'm
portance of the church taking a
more active part in two war activi-
ties: Providing entertainment and
recreation for servicemen visiting
Washington at week ends and offer
ing spiritual contacts for war work.
ers coming here from all sections Of
America.
Diocese Activity Increases.
These two themes will be discussed
at business sessions Of the conven-
ton, 1t was said today. The Episco-
PSI diocese has approximately 80
churches and was ministering to
more than 1900 members at the
end Of 1941, with increases shown
this year in every phase Of church
activity incident to the war popu-
lation influx.
Preceding his annual address,
Bishop Freeffian will pay ffib0t6 u
clergy Of the diocese who have died
since the last convention was held.

transfer to q greater field of service.
You will remember what happened
that time The President was fsr
ahead of his critics, whose outcries
only served to emphasize their ig-
norance.
There is no man who has four
sons in the active armed combat
services-as has President Roose-
velt-Who could be insensible for q
single moment to the obligations
imposed on him in this crisis or to
the necessity Of directing every ef-
fort toward victory Your members
of Congress, likewise, have sons in
the services and the manner in
which this hfe-and-death struggle
is conducted is q very real and per-
sonal matter with them Just as 1t Is
with the rest Of you fathers and
with but one purpose, and we must
stand together to win 1t. We must
have complete trust IN our leaders
and their decisions, for these base
their Judgment on many facts that
are not and cannot be known to
our citizenry as q whole.
To the small business men and
women of America say again that
the Nation knows of the sacrifices
you have been called upon to make
and that you are only waiting for q
chance to contribute everything
you've got to the war efiort-that
all you need is q chance to serve
in . role that only you can I'LL
We know that, in spite Of all the
legislation that can be passed to
help you, your job will still call for
untold devotion and service to the
common good. But the goal-vic-
tory for a sounder democracy in
which you will keep your position
OF community leadership-wil be
cheap at any price.
If you are interested in the pas
sage of the bill now pending in
Congress for the aid OF smaIl busi,
ness, an expression of your wishes
to your member Of Congress will be
helpful, and appreciated by the
sponsors Of the proposed legislation.

Newspaper Women
0utsmart Men al
Elsa Maxwell Party
National Press Club
Sees Bottle Of Sexes
In Debote Quiz

Three smart women and a match
ing group Of inarticulate men lent
hilarity last night to q party which
was also distinguished by the
artistry of q quartet Of noted
musicians.
The occasion was ELSA Maxwel'S
party for the press" held for mem
bers of the National Press Club and
the Women's National Press Club
in the press club auditorium.
Artists Applauded.
The four artists roundly applauded
by the more than 800 newspapermen
and women were Nathan Milstein,
the Russian violinist; Bidu Sayao,
Brazilian coloratura Of the Metro
politan Opera Co.: George Copeland
and Prince George Chavachavadze,
pianists.
In contrast to this artistry was
the second half of the press party
program-a combination debate and
quiz entitled The Battle of the
Sexes" It was no battle.
From the first, the three women
Elizabeth Ford of the Washington
Times Herald, Anne Cottren Of the
Chicago Sun and Malvina Stephen
son of the Cincinnati Times Star
outshone their three male colleagues,
Edward Jameson of the Chicago
Sun. Sam O'Neal of the St. LOUIS
Star-Times and Everett Watkins Of
the Indianapolis Star.
Audience Heckies Males.
Even when they were forced to
take the negative side of q debate
on whether or not newspaperwomen
make good wives, the lady debaters
argued convincingly. Newspaper
women. they proved. do not make
good wives, which was interesting
tidings for their colleagues who
brought their husbands to the party.
The audience alternately heckled
and booed the tnarticulate male trio,
demanded q new team and made 1t
easy for the judges to make their
decisions. The judges included Mrs.
Eyalyn Walsh Mclean, Mrs. Eleanor
Patterson, Mrs. william Randolph
Hearst, Sir Willmott Lewis and
Merrill c. Meigs.

Canadian Press Leader
Sfresses Post Aid
Ev the Associated Press.

&N the AssoClSbeO PRESS.
MONTREAL, Sept. Iii. A.
Mcneil, general manager of The
Canadian Press, addressing the
Canadian Authors Association last
night, said, "It is not enough for
the press of North America to go
all-out for victory; it must also be
prepared to work now and hence
forth for the peace to come"
1t Is difficult for even the most
acute intelligence to visualize the
chaos which will prevail the world
over when the guns cease firing,
Mr.. Mcneil said, and in the solution
of the postwar problems the press
can and will be an outstanding
participant.
It's readiness to do so is already
made apparent in widespread edi-
torial support, or at least accept
ance, of new national and inter-
national ideals, economic concepts
and social reforms which not so
long ago would have been anathema
to press and public alike" he said.
The after-war newspaper, Mr..
Mcneil said, would avoid being too
closely identified with any special
interest, whether it be capital, labor,
race, creed or political or social
dogma.

Wide World Features

Life for Pierre Laval Hitler's
leading disciple in war-conquered
France, has been a roller-coaster
ride of ups and downs since he
entered politics nearly 80 years ago.
Now he's up again-tapped for
the political leadership of Vichy's
reorganized governing body, al
though Marshal Petain hangs on
to the title of chief of state. Laval
stepped out ahead of his collabor-
ationist colleague, Admiral Jean
Darlan, and now the Vichy regime
may be steered into new and
stranger channels in the next few
weeks
In a land noted for the tenn
pestuousness of its politics, Laval's
career has been spectacular; ne
rose from a humble beginning tc
the premiership of France, saw his
cabinet crumble because of intern
al dissension, finally went into ar
eclipse until after the NaZis hac
hammered his country into sub
| mission.
Then he burst into the spotiig,lt
again, became Petain's right-hand
man and designated successor
With far less ceremony, he was
benched six months later because
he pushed hiss collaboration en-
thusiasms too far The world might
have heard little of him there
after, but he stopped bullet from
the gun of young French patriot
and for days lay gravely i'll.
The pudgy former peasant Of
Auvergne hung on stubbornly anc
a few months later was back, quiet
ly moving behind the scenes and
working ceaselessly to bring Vichs
closer to the political concepts OF
Nazi Germany
A Socialist when he started his
political career as provincial may
or, Laval gradually swung toward
Fascism. He's democracy is
dead" calamity bowler He made
this assertion after the fall OF
| France.
But he's no prophet. At the
same time, he said Germany would
win the war in 1941.
