on what their obligation is in

II seems 10 me that men in
business, men in executive posi-
tionS in business, represent the
very intelligent CenterS Of the
nation and as such they are fully
aware first. Of the fact that
we are at war: and second. Of
their orientation Of the new
conditions.

The Duty Of Congress
WHAT are we defending!
w The answer is; OF ecu

w The Or course, OIh DEMOOhIfS1'
What concretely is democracy?
The answer is: IT is THE CONGRESS OF THE
UNITED STATES.
The House of Representatives and ths Senate
the concrete expression of the WILL of he people.
Congress is democracy. 1t is America 1t is our
way of life made visible
And what happens when this incarnation OF our
viii abdicaes its constitutional functions and passes the
blck" the executive power to miscellaneous and ire
sponsible bureaus and boards
The answer is OUR DEMOCRACY is PREPAR-
ING TO WRITE IT'S OWN DEATH-WARRANT.
CONGRESS has more and been relaxing its grip
- on its legal prerogatves.
1t has come and more under the domination
of executive bossing.
This is not any more necessary in war than 1t is
peace
England is a great democracy although i'm
peralstic one. but in the news how completely
Parliament authority and how IT makes Churchill,
and even the king subordinate to its will.
II delegates power, but it does not ABDlCATE
POWER even with the nations back to the wall
OUR Congress is as near abdication of it's powers
" ever any democratic legislature has been.
On this subject the conservative New York Times
contained this striking and vigorous editorial the other
day:
CONGRESSIONAL ABDICATION"
shortly before the highly political and wretchedIy
inadequate pricecontro bill sent to the President
ma ority leader of the Senate, Mr.. Barkey made
statement about it. He admitted that it had many inn
perfeons but expressed the hope Tin the words OF
repOrt) that a wise administration would help to cure
any defects
This is the old familiar story OF congressional alb
dication Congress passes law full of holes that
the executive department is compelled to plug them
Then when the executive department does Congress
rises in its wrath to the executive department
of usurping legislative functions
This has happened in the of the Wagner
Labor Act. 1t has happened time and again. in the
of other highly important recent legislation The
only way of this unsatisfactory situation is for Con-
gress to write good law to begin with"
THAT'S as true the multiplication table and as
right rain
At a time when every American and woman
is standing up straight under great responsibilities Con-
gress says grows weak kneed and lets George do it.
That ISN'T THE AMERICAN WAY.
That ISN'T THE WAY TO VICTORY.
1t is T-BLOW AT NATIONAL MORALE
Where are fearless John Quincy Adamses, the Clays
the Websers the Lncons the Reeds the Baines in our
congresses?
They do not exist, when need them now more
than
Congress, of course, should not oppose the Presi-
dent merely for the purpose Of opposing.
But it should march along with him as CO
EQUAL in authority
This it is not doing.
The result, as the Times says-and it must be evil
dent to all intelligent mems ABDICATION.
And that is a body-blow GREAT CAUSE

TO use the tools that we have.
and use them single mindedly
to the utmost for war purposes.
After we have licked the Japs,
the Germans and the Italians,
then we can resume this proc
ess of changing the financial
Setup of the public utility COM
panieS; but at a time when
priorities are preventing these
executives from getting dellv-
cries of turbines on time, and
when we need their human in
ventivenesS and their initiative,
to try 10 make the old equip
ment 60 further. l say don't
drag those executives down 10
Washington on matters Of tech
nical reorganization, on matters
which have no bearing on the
winning Of the war.
DON'T 4. War is not pretty
L business. war is not a bar
gain; war is expensive. You
know that and l know II.
We are not only planning 10
pay for our share Of the war
over here. but planning, in the
spirit of good fellowship. to pay
a good deal of the cost Of the
war for all Of our associates in
foreign lands.
So at best, talking quite Seri-
ously, the load on American in
duStry the tax load. is going 10
be SupercoloSSal and the problem
is TO devise a system and APP
proach to taxation highly scien-
tific in character. not punitive
or demagogic but one calculated
10 let industry function, despite
this terrific load.
That means if we are 10 GO
through this period with a mini
mum Of damage 10 our economic
machinery that we must ap-
proaCh the new tax laws in a
spirit Of technical competence
rather than in a punitive spirit,
and we must review all Of our
tau policies 10 see whether they
further or retard industrial pro-
duction, on which victory de-
ponds.
Now, let me illustrate that
with rather technical point:
In the basic metals, the crit.
ical metals such AZ copper and
zinc and lead OF which the cur
rent supply is insufficient. we
are still retarding production
unwittingly through arbitrary
tax rulings on matters relating
TO depletion.
The effect Of these tax rulings
is 10 cause the mining compa-
mes 10 mine their more difficult
veins because il is advantageous
from a depletion and tax stand
point, rather than in the spirit
OF warfare going 10 their richest
veins, their easiest veins. and
getting that out in a hurry.
So | say. in the spirit of accel-
Grating production. in the spirit
of helping President Roosevelt
obtain his stated detectives for
lcthal weapons which he has an
nounCCd 10 Congress. we ought
10 call these executives in the
metal companies down TO Wash
ington and have round-table
discussion Of how you can revise
these tax rulings so that you
avoid interfering with the pro-
duction of vital things.
Until recently we were also
- defeating our own ends by
putting price ceilings on these
critical items instead of having
some sort of price inducements
10 cause marginal producers all
over the world 10 search for new
sources in/thcSe metals. and en-
courage even the high cost mines
TO produce in the emergency.
Recently. within the week.
Secretary Jones has announced
a plan for paying premium
for any increases over last
years production in these criti-
cal metals.

We'll Be OK,
Don't Worry
Says Durocher
BY GLIB STALEY

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 31-(R
Here's good news for those
Tlattush fans who may be hav-
ing qualms about their beloved
Buns" the Brooklyn Dodgers:
Don't worry about us. We're
all right and we'll win the PEN
nant for you again" Signed
! } Duroch.r.
That sums up TIE fiery Dodger
managers attitude about the Ma
tional League pennant race,
which has become hotter than a
four alarm fire since the. St.
Louis Cardinals have won 10 OF
theii last % games.
ONLY 3 GATES
Durocher was the picture OF
confidence as he banded together
Lsrry MacPhail's million-dollar
team for another joust today
n the Pittsburgh Pirates, J es-
terday, the Dodgers split twin
bill with the BUGS and saw their
lead over the rampaging Cards
reduced to three full games.
Sure the Cardinals are hotter
than hell right now" Durocher
said. They've got a good team
and great manager in Billy
Southworth. But i they keep 60
ing the way they are we'll SIM
ply have to get hotter.
MY boys ave been playing
rood ball and I'm not. worried
bit about winning the National
League pennant again. And
here's another thing: My play
ers are Just as confident as am.
They're a great bunch and they
are always in there fighting.
HOME GAMES
Durocher was quick to point
out the Dodgers have plenty of
games remaining on their home
grounds, adding: Were still
three games ahead, have a
couple of more games to play
than the Cards and it's up to
them to catch US not for us to
catch them. And you can believe
me that our boys aren't losing
this pennant now without a
helluva struggle

Kimbroush's Romp
Brings Only Counter
for Coach Wode's Crew
BY ROBERT MYERS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31-(P)
The powerful Washington
Redskins won the game, 26 to
7, but the Army's western foot
ball squad carried the laurels
of battle off the field.
The Army team, heading for
Denver today for its next grid
engagement with a professional
aggregation, the Chicago Card
inals, was decisively trounced
by the Redskins, but they put
up a surprisingly stubborn strug-
gle for the full four quarters and
the Cardinals can look for a
busy afternoon next Sunday.
Major Wallace Wade, coach
of the army outfit, summed yes
terday's opening contest for the
Army relief fund when he COM
mented:

Baugh, plus speedy Dick
Todd, his backfield mate, plus

and a we'll polished machine,

before the $4,000 fans who saw
the game.

was better than had expected.
We saw them play the week
before and they didn't block a

though. We managed to tighten
our defense in the second half,
but their running attack hurt
us in the first two quarters.

Brooklyn Dodgers and st. Louis
Cardinals-which most folks fig

After coasting along in the
comparative safety of a lengthy

ers found themselves separated
from the threatening Cardinals
today by nothing more than
three short games.
The Cardinals started the
