terested in politics. I recognize that
it is business you must learn
from childhood, just as you learn
any other business. I am down here
for one purpose only and that is to
put this program over If I can"
Ready to Be Goat"
He added that if he found the pro-
gram being impaired he would seek
any help he felt would prevent
delay.
And you are ready to be the
goat?" Senator Brewster queried.
I'm ready to be the goat" came
the answer II recognize that in
this job I have everything to lose
and nothing to gain"
Mr.. Nelson previously had ex-
planned to Senator Brewster that.
while he expected there would be
differences Of opinion from time
to time, there will be no friction,
because friction means delay"
Senator Brewster asked II that
meant there would be decisions in
such cases. and Mr.. Nelson answered
affirmatively.
Asked for his view as to how war
profits should be controlled, Mr..
Nelson said he felt no one should
make Ar ';unconscionable" profit,
but as long as this country has the
profit system both the worker and
management should have q fair
profit. He suggested that, when 1t
Is found 4 certain contract Is lead
ing to excess profits. 1t should be
re-neSotiated.
Has Rigid Rules.
In his defense Of dollar-a-year
men, Mr.. Nelson told the committee
he has laid down four basic rules to
govern all such appointments.
One Of the four, he said, Is that
mo person shall be employed in
any position In which he will make
decisions directly affecting the az
fairs Of his own company" The
other three are:
No person shall be appointed on a
dollar-a-year basis unless he Is a
man Of outstanding business or
technical ability, OF unimpeachable
integrity, and especially qualified for
the work for which he is chosen.
No dollar-a-year man shall be
appointed to any position If with

Guards Ties With Vichy
Meetings Trouble United Nations Diplomats,
Even Younger Group Within State Department

toward the Petain. .Darlan govern.
ment and IN increasing tendency
not to do anything, even in matters
involving military strategy, which
might offend Vichy.
The st. Pierre and Miquelon af.
fair was one such incident which
got into print because OF Admiral
Musellier's spectacular action. It
can be told now that igh-ranking
officers Of the United States Navy
knew OF the presence Of At least four
packs Of German submarines be-
tween Cape Hatteras and Newfound-
land and had reason to suspect that
the U-boats were being supplied
from the Vichy controlled islands.
The Navy men were delighted at the
action Of the Free French.
In the State Department there are
two schools Of thought concerning
the Petain government. The younger
members form 4 group which
strongly opposes concessions. There
is an older and smaller group
powerful because 1t Is led by Mr..
Hull-which believes in conciliation
verging on appeasement. The young
er men point out that Mr.. Hulls
long years as legislator and poll
tician-both callings which involve
the art Of compromise-have Ill pre-.
pared him to understand the un.
compromising nature Of the present
conflict.
Pursue Long Shot Theory.
Mr.. Henry-Hays Is making the
most Of Mr.. Hull's confiding nature
and Of his belief In reciprocal trade
treaties as . cure for international
Ills. once the guns have been
silenced. The Vichy Ambassador is
encouraging the Secretary in the
belief that his government, If suffic-
iently nursed diplomatically, may
some day contribute toward the
establishment Of q better world on
that basis.
Everybody supports Mr.. Hulls
policy OF no open break with Vichy.
The theory is that even a long shot
Is worth playing out provided the
game Is not too costly and that the
line between courtesy and appease-
ment Is sharply drawn.
In recent weeks, however, there
have been repeated clashes between
the Secretary Of State and other
government agencies regarding poll
cies towards Vichy- controlled North
Africa and Western Hemisphere
possessions.
Several have resulted in direct
appeals to the White House. The
Secretary Of State has been over
ruled. to the great disappointment
OF the French Ambassador.
