, Rights and Responsibilities

In his address at the Labor Temple
here the other night, John p Frey. Of
Washington. D. c. president Of the Metal
Trades section OF the American Federation
Of Labor, spoke forcefully on the rights OF
labor. He urged labor to stand up for
those rights and to resist every effort 10
take them away.
Then he added this significant
thought: Whenever We obtain funda-
mental rights and privileges we also as
sumo great responsibilities. The greater
the requirements the greater the response
bility becomes.
The speaker also raised the question
Of whence come the rights and privileges
that We enjoy today. He answered by
quoting a Catholic priest who was adj
dressing n group of Polish workers whose
membership was being sought in labor
union. He spoke of certain rights and
continued like this:
I'VE talk n great deal about individual
rights but do you know where we get
them? We say We get them from the
Constitution, the Bill Of Rights and the
labor unions. We do not. We get our
rights from the Creator, and when He
gives US those rights He also gives the
responsibilities that 20 with them. He
expects Us TO live up TO the responsible
ties as long as we claim the rights"
Therein is a bit OF philosophy that
would do away with a great deal of the
strife that 20 often takes away those
rights.

. War Orphans

One Of the problems growing out Of
the war which is creating : crisis in Great
Britain and may become acute in this coun-
try. concerns evacuated children. When
German bombers were making nightly
raids, thousands Of children were taken
from the cities to homes in isolated eoun-
try areas.
As the blitzes eased off, a number Of
the children were returned TO their own
homes. But thousands are still in the
reception zones where they have been for
three years. Some have been with one
family all of that time. Many of the
hosts are becoming little fed UP. especial
ly when they learn that the parents are
not using due diligence to get the children.
They prefer to leave their responsibility to
others. This is particularly true of fami-
lies where all the adults are employed in
war industries at good wages.
This country has not yet had to evac-
uate children to protect them from enemy
raids, but an acute child problem is de-
veloping here nevertheless. II comes from
the father and mother working in war in
dustries and leaving the children to shift
for themselves. That this is true one only
has to note the number of children run
ming about the streets of every neighbor-
hood all day.
IL is to this situation that a number
Of cases of delinquency have been attrib-
uted. Some of the welfare and social
workers are finding it almost as much of
a headache as do those who are in charge
Of the evacuees in England. The eight
hour orphan can be almost as much of a
problem as the blitz orphan

Leading Democrats in the New Deal
fold have been gloating over the financial
difficulties Of the Republicans. Now it
turns out that the Democrats are having
their own financial worries.
II has been assumed that holders Of
fat war contracts would gladly come across
with substantial contributions TO keep the
war party going. So far that hasn't hap
pened Corporation executives have taken
the position that as politics is supposed
to be out for the duration, it isn't neces-
sary to kick in" The result is that the
Democratic treasury is as bare as the
financial cupboard which the new head
of the Republican committee faces. The
big boys haven't felt like coming through
for the COP, either. Both parties are in
the same boat financially.
The fact of the matter is that there
Is nothing in the picture to indicate that
either party is going to be the beneficiary
Of q division Of war profits. By the time
the tax collector gets through the profits
won't be very fat.
There also is a kick-back from Presi-
dent Roosevelts declaration for a limit
Of $4,000 on incomes. The big boys who
see possibility that they may have to

be shy about commitments.
Labor groups. which have been prolific
sources of political funds are Tightening
the purse strings. Neither group-AFL
or CI0-completely trusts the leadership
Of either party.
Another deterrent influence is the pos
sibility that the next session of congress
viii enact legislation putting labor unions
on the same basis as national banks and
corporations with periodical examinations
of their books and accounts by a govern
ment examiner. In that event there would
have to be an accounting of all contribu-
tons.

The busiest country editor in Ameri-
ca has been discovered. He is Carl Broome,
editor and publisher of the Brantley En-
terprise. country weekly in Georgia.
When his draft board wanted to know
what his duties we're he sat down and
wrote a schedule that read something like
this:
He writes the editorials, solcits the adj
vertising and collects and edits the news
that goes into his paper. Then he sets
the type, makes it up in the page, prints
it, wraps the bundles for mailing. Then
he washes and distributes the type. He
keeps books, has bills to pay and must
therefore collect pay for advertising and
solicit, and collect for, subscriptions. The
presses, newspaper and job, get out of
order and he fixes them. The linotype
gets out of order and he fixes that.
He deals with human nature. He has
to tell people where the local draft board
is, tell others where the towns lawyer
they were excited about was only a silly
rumor pacify irate subscribers
whose paper failed to arrive" Sometimes
he is so busy that he will "scan the ex-
changes and maybe clip an item" but even
a clipped item has to be set. the form
washed and the type distributed. I'm my
spare time he concludes, Il hunt and fish
and play checkers"
A wretched life, some may say. But
Mr.. Broome wouldn't give it up for castle
in Spain. And half the metropolitan news
paper men in the United States, as they
read the delectable details of his life, will
weep with envy.
