the myth has taken it's most gross
form in the imagination of the phi
loSopherS of totaltarianiSm."
Prof MacIver offers in opposition:
eve live in an age in which our
interests and our activities are
for the most part not bounded within
the frontiers of a State The State
we belong to is not self f-contained
unity, a closed system. The tradi-
tional doctrine of sovereignty is a
presumptuouS denial of this truth.
In the field of international relations,
if not elsewhere, "the dogma of abso-
lutte sovereignty is maintained at an
incalculable cost to the Well-being of
us all Is it not better to give it up?"
The question, certainly, cannot be
answered without careful thought
about it's implications. But it now
is not too early to begin to discuss
the issue and to reefon together re-
garding the solution of the problem
which it represents.

Nature of Sovereignty

Prof. Robert M MacIver of Colum-
bia University, addressing the recent
Conference on Science, Philosophy
and Religion in New York, raised
again for this generation the ques-
ton of the essential character of
supreme governmental authority.
With specific reference to "the price
of abiding peace after victory" he
declared: TT is an old notion con-
corning the nature of sovereignty
that stands in the way. We should
apply common sense to it and strip it
of its pretensions. Then we would
soon discover that this legal concept
of sovereignty is claim of the right
to use power without regard for the
rights of other states"
Implicit in those words, of course,
is the suggestion that exemption from
responsibility conduces to results
which are anti-social in their effect.
King Louis XIV of France could be
quoted as an exponent of the theory
to which Prof. MacIver objects
Sovereignty lies in me alone" the
| monarch told the Parliament of Paris
! in 1856 The legislative power is mine
Internationally and indivisibly. The
| public order emanates from me, and
I am its supreme guardian. My peo-
pie is one with me-" A diametrically
opposite point of view is that of
Woodrow Wilson, who, speaking at
Pittsburgh in 1916, argued that If
America stands for one thing more
than another "it is for the sovereignty
of governing people, and her
example, her assistance, her encour-
agement, has thrilled two continents
in this western world with all those
fine impulses which have built ur
human liberty on both sides Of the
water"
Conceivably, however, an entire
population might wish to assert 8
supremacy from which no neighbor.
ing community could appeal. Prof
MacIver gives it as his considered
opinion that: "A vast amount o.
grandiose nonsense has been writer
about sovereignty. 1t lis presented a.

End of q Strike

The termination Of the strike at
the Western Cartridge Plant, which,
according to War Labor Board Chair
man Davis, was "jeopardizing the
lives of thousands of soldiers and
sailors" serves to confirm the belief
that strikes in war industries can be
prevented if national labor leaders
are determined to prevent them.
1t is possible that employees in this
case had what normally would be
considered legitimate grounds for
a strike. There was a difference of
opinion in that respect, but the point
is unimportant The essential fact
was that vital war plant was being
tied up in disregard of the no-strike
agreement. Furthermore, the strik-
ers ignored the appeal from Mr.
Davis, as they had rejected two pre-
vious requests from the WLB that
they return to work.
In this state of affairs, william
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, on Friday or
dered the men back to work without
delay. Mr.. Green said the strikers
faced the loss of their charter unless
they complied with his demand, and
on Saturday they were back at work.
Mr.. Green is to be commended for
taking this fortnight action. If the
national labor leaders, in all cases,
took similar action, and took it
promptly, there is every reason to
believe that there would be very few
infractions of the no-strike pledge.

throughout the country, and through
them to many thousands of citizens,
two-page folder about their Capital
City. Within the space Of two pages
1t is impossible to discuss in any de-
tail the somewhat complicated ma
ture of the Capitals ailments. The
folder does not attempt any such
task. 1t merely recites some of the
more readily discernible defects
lack of emergency housing, alarm

pitals, tangled administration of
public welfare, snarled traffic and
transportation, high rate Of crime
and juvenile delinquency-and after
a brief look at the system under
which Washington is governed con-
cludes that "It wouldn't t work in your

resentative can change it,"

on YOUR" representative, the mes
sage being addressed to voting citi-
zens of the Nation, is excellent.
Washingtons only quarrel with the
statement would be that insufficient
emphasis is placed on what OUR
elected representative might do to
change these unsatisfactory condi-
tions. But this is evidently a delib-
crate omission, for the League of
Women Voters has been a consistent
and helpful champion of Washing
tons right to vote, and it is under
stood that this preliminary discus
sion OF some of Washington's
ailments will be followed later by
some attempt at diagnosis and cure

Charter Discussion

Some three years ago an arrange
ment was worked out between the
Montgomery County Commissioners
and the Brookings Institution to
make a comprehensive study of the
county's government. Even prior to
that time the Committee on Legisla-
ton and Legal Action of the County
Civic Federation, with other inter
ested citizens, had felt that such a
study was desirable, 1t was noted
that the county had grown rapidly,
that its makeup had changed from
rural to urban in the territory bor-
dering the District of Columbia, but
that its form of government re-
manned much the same as in the
horse and buggy days.
The Brookings Institution made an
exhaustive study, but not an inVesti-
CATION, and published 700-page
report. Many suggestions were ad-
vanced, among them one that Mont
gomery adopt a charter form Of gov
ernment. Brookings suggested that
a charter might be drawn which
would give the county more home
rule by granting to a county council,
which would supplant the present
county commissioners, certain powers
now exercised by the Legislature
Brookings also recommended that
Montgomery obtain a county man
ager, and made numerous other pro-
posals which could be incorporated
in a charter.
After the Brookings report was
published, interested civic groups
held meetings to study and discuss 1t
A charter committee was formed t
take the initial steps toward putting
the question of change in the coun
tvs government up to the voters
The initial steps consist of obtaining
signatures of 20 per cent OF th
county's registered voters to petition

visors to appoint charter boaro

stern days ahead, indicate that they
nave found in a more exacting discipline
better understanding of Christian duty
and finer meaning OF lifes purpose.
From soft ways of living they are learn
ing for the first time the hard way, the
way that develops the strongest and
best in character.
Christian duty is not related to a
part, but to the whole OF life 1t does
not restrict the area OF its service to
some limited field nor its expression to
pious phrases or devout practices.
Christs way of life, which prescribes the
Christians duty, is broadly inclusive.
It affects the relationships. habits and
practices OF mans everyday living It
prescribes his obligation to the state, to
society, to business; 1t fixes his outlook
on life; In fine, it determines his duty
under any and all conditions and cir
cumstances. Loyalty to the Christian
ideal of life may prove costly. but 1t is
richly compensating. 1t may be that a
new and severe test is to be applied to
the Christian way of life: as a matter
of fact 1t is being applied and in the
years that lie Immediately ahead 1t may
take more than a pious profession of
faith to save our cherished Christian
institutions, and by Christian institu-
titons We mean something other than
the churches.
The writer OF the query with which
we began concludes his very reflective
letter by asking: Cannot something be
done now to strengthen our Christian
lives something constructive and effec-
tive? The call now Is for Christian
leadership-that the idea Of the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man shall not perish from the earth
The obvious answer to such a reverent
observation is, make practice square with
profession; make Christian duty in
every situation primary, not secondary

prevailing customs, dare to be different

Christian way demands strong quail

What is the Christians duty in these
unprecedented and tragic times?" This
was the reverent inquiry of man con-
spicuous in public service. He was
doubtless voicing that which is in the
minds of many reflective people. His
inquiry raises further question, name
ly: DO changed and changing condi-
tions affect in any degree the Christians
duty?" Compelled to live under new
and strange conditions must a Christian
adapt himself, by modifying or altering
his Christian way or view OF life? We
dot not believe he does If Christ gave
to men a way of life, as He certainly
did, He did not contemplate that 1t
should be subject to change because the
fortunes or accidents of life effected
sweeping changes. He spoke always with
fnality and He reckoned with every
condition that time and circumstance
might bring External conditions could
not, by His standard of judgment, alter
the fundamental laws He prescribed
they were immutable, they had to do
with life under any and all conditions.

times are at hand. If he attempts to
live by Christ's standard, His way OF
life, he faces his difficulties with greater
courage and determination to fulfill his
Christian obligations Some one has
said that '11e saw God in the tragedies
of his life" 1t is demonstrably true
that, under severe and trying conditions,
Christs pattern of life is made more
evident. The present trying days, If any
good is to come out of them, must be
days when the deeper, finer meaning
of life is made clearer and more evident.
st. Paul asks this leading question:
who shah separate us from the love
Of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword?" And he answered

in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us!'

They Cun axe 1t

There is an interesting paradox
in the fact that, while the Baruch
rubber report paints rather dismal
picture and is damning in its impli-
cations of incompetency, indecision
and muddle- -headednesS in the Gov
ernment's past handling of the rub
Der problem, it has evoked high praise
and even qualification from those
who have digested its findings.
Why is this? Why does this report
tend to lift rather than dampen
morale when it makes criticism
recognized as applying to other con-
ditions besides rubber in connection
with the war effort and coldly depicts
manifest hardships ahead for our
people?
Perhaps the answer lies in the fact
that the report is plain, intelligent
statement of fact without the en-
broidery of policy designed to soften
or disguise the meaning of what is
said. Perhaps it is because the emf
nent men selected to make the report
we're above suspicion as to ulterior
motives of their own and were free
of entangling political ties, permit
ting them to speak their minds with
out thought as to the effect on the
electorate in this or that congress
sional district next November
Abraham Lincoln was once quoted
as saying that it is very difficult to
do the sensible thing. The President
undoubtedly realizes how true that
is, when even the most sensible
course must be weighed carefully for
its impact on influential and dissi-
dent elements within the Nation.
But public acceptance of the report
on rubber should encourage a greater
use of the same tactics in getting at
the heart of many of the problems
which, left to stew in the caldrons Of
politics, may 60 without an answer
until it is too late.
What for instance, is the truth OF
the charge that the war Government
in Washington is so overmanned
with superf1uous personnel that the
transaction of business Is hampered?
From casual observation, the state
ment would seem to be true. From
the conversational statements of
men who have gone from civilian
life into the Government and find
themselves working for the first time
under conditions where payroll
| economies are unknown, the condi-
ton here is pictured as a scandal.
What would be the findings of three
disintereSted investigators, whose
only mission was to get the facts
and who were unhampered by con-
siderations of patronage or anything
else? Or are we interested in get
ting these facts?
Public reception of the Baruch
report furnished new evidence of the
cheerful acceptance by the people
of whatever burdens the war may
impose. The people want the wal
fought and won. Complacency in
the face of the terrific seriousness
of the war does not seem to extend
very far beyond the perimeter ot

sault. If large scale land warfare is
required, then China offers an abun-

Any idea of an easy war for the United
States now is being abandoned. There
was time when people of this country,
and high officials as we'll, concluded that
others would do most of the fighting
while the United States supplied the

may prove to be the case, provided ways
can be found to get equipment into

Madagascar Occupied

simultaneous BRUSH landings at
the principal west coast ports of
Madagascar and the rapid advance
inland against slight opposition by
small Vichy French forces are, mill
tarily speaking, routine operation.
The British government has pro-
claimed its Intention to occupy the
be no doubt that this soon will be
done. So eliminates chapter which
began last May when a British force
captured Diego Suarez, the important
naval base at the islands northern
tip, and continued with similar &C
tions on the small insular dependen-
cies of the colony off it's northwest
coast.
Madagascar is huge island, larger
than France itself and almost the
size of Texas. Nearly 1000 miles
long and averaging some 200 miles
wide, it parallels the east coast of
Africa, from which it is separated
by the broad Mozambique Channel.
Through that strait run the United
Nations sea lanes around the Cape of
Good Hope to Egypt and the Middle
East. That is what lends Madagascar
its strategic Importance. It's west
coast harborS are natural submarine
havens, while the level treeless
plateaus of the interior are natural
airfieldS. These potential threats to
Anglo American communications
could be discounted until Japan en-
tered the war and gained access to
the Indian Ocean. Since then, fairly
numerous ship sinkings by subma-
rines, undoubtedly japanese, have
occurred in the Mozambique Channel
and adjacent waters. The attitude
of the Vichy French authorities has
been so suspect that Britain has felt
compelled to take increasingly severe
preventive measures, now climaxing
in full occupation Those measures
have, from the first, received the
unqualified Endorsement of Wash
ington.
The larger aspects of this final step
are its effects upon the relations of
Vichy France with the United Ma
tions. Governor Annet's formal de-
nial that he has harbored Axis agents
or assisted the Axis in any way can
be discounted by accumulated evil
dence such as the shooting of dis
guised Japanese officers by British
patrol near Diego Suarez last spring
At so critical a period of the war
when every man is needed in Egypt
and the Middle East, Britain would
not send many thousands of soldiers
to Madagascar and immobilize most
of them there by occupation unless
the need were Imperative
Nevertheless, this fresh armed
clash with the Vichy French comes
at ticklish moment. Germany un-
questionably is putting renewed
pressure on Vichy for all-out collabo-
ration. Laval certainly is willing, anc
is restrained solely by fear of the
effect on France itself. Yet the
imminence Of such step is shoWr
by the recent protest penned by those
eminent French political leaders
Edouard Herriot and Jules Jean,
neney, who, at the risk of their lives
warned Marshal Petain agains
trying to draw France into wa.
against our Allies" With the Ger
man-controlled Paris press in full
cry against the "Anglo-Americal
enemy" Laval can be counted upol
to make the most of the Madagascar
incident to whip up popular resent
ment and pave the way for hi
nefarious policy. The French criSi
mounts toward climax which ma,
be tragic in the extreme.
