dress analyzing the war sltu'
None who knows the United
Nations can doubt the Brightness
of General SHUTS statement that
an Allied victory would, above all.
be a triumph of the spirit of man
over the dark forces of reaction
a statement that SHUTS reiterated
throughout many of his recent
speeches.
The year Britain stood alone,
barely armed, against the might
of Hitler still seems to me a mir
acle of endurance. The inability
of his gangsters to break the spir-
it of any European peoples despite
oppression more savage than any
thing the world has known will
reveal an epic of faith maintained
when it can be told in full.
The unbreakable heroism of
Russia will take a place in history
among the shining chapters in the
archives of humanity. There is
a real sense in which, against the
massive brutality unleashed by
Hitler, the common peoples had
what Churchill asked of the Brit
ish nation-their most splendid
hour.
But it is time we underlined
some of the implications of this
triumph of the human spirit. It
is an immense strain, physically,
morally and psychologically; it
means fatigue both of soul and
body not easy to overestimate.
Few Americans can know fully
what it meant to live in a black
world for more than three years
nor imagine the price of terror
so relentless as the blitz.
People in the battle areas have
an unbreakable will, even when,
as in China, they are barely arm
ed; they are incapable of surrend-
er, and this temper, which makes
defeat impossible, is quite OBJ
viously beginning to build in
France new heart to resist, as
it is beginning to breed in Ger
many a dull skepticism of a tri-
umph that once seemed certain.
The tide is turning slowly.
But the victorious human spirit
will be a very tired spirit when
the time comes for relaxation if
energy. Never in so brief a space
has the pressure of suffering on
so many been so intense. It will
be easy, unless we are very care
full, to sit back and think that
the ordeal is over, to assume that
the spectacle of Hitlerism in brok-
en- disorganization is the basis on
which things of themselves, after
this long fight, will begin to
mend.
In all soberness. I am bound to
say that nothing could be more
fatal. The fatigue of the world
will be the supreme opportunity
for malignant interests to take
advantage of it's fatigue. It is in
the very hour when the human
spirit is more confident of it's SUI
preme achievement that the dark
forces of the world will have their
second chance.
We have an appointment with
destiny now. The time to make
sure that the next epoch is the
century of the common man is
now, when he has the spirit to
conquer his heritage. The day
that spirit fades, all men and all
combinations of men seeking to
maintain the authority of privil-
eye will move into action. It was
so in the last war. Exactly the
same pattern reveals itself as
possible unless we safeguard our
selves against a recurrence. So
far not a single essential step has
been taken towards building that
new world which the common man
has so obviously merited by the

BOTH PARTIES LOOK
J TOWARD CHICAGO NOW

Washington-Both Republican
and Democratic leaders are re-

the convention. He also invited
the 96 state chairmen and vice
chairmen to attend.
The Democratic committee al
so will probably meet in January
to arrange for the party's conven-

Heretofore, it has been Gus
tomary to hold these site-select-
ing meetings in Washington.
Spangler explained that Chicago
was chosen for the Republican
committee gathering because of
the city's central location.

Cam Morrison, Jere Cooper
And Harold KnutsOn De-
liver Speeches
BY ED M. ANDERSON

Washington, D. c., Nov PIT
is doubtful if this nation has ever
had a citizen who was as highly
honored on his 80th. birthday as
was Congressman r. L. Dough-
ton.
Among the many expressions
of gratitude and esteem which
were accorded to him from the
President on down, were the fine
speeches on the floor of the
House on Monday morning, Nov.
8, by both Democrats and Repub-
licanS.
Representative Cam Morrison,
former governor, spoke for the
North Carolina delegation. Jere
Cooper, of Tennessee, spoke for
members of the ways and means
committee and Harold Knutson,
of Minnesota, spoke for the Re-
publican representatives.
All three Of the speakers high
ly lauded Mr.. Doughton and the
outstanding service he has rem
dered to his district, state and
nation.
II ask the members to suspend
their labors for a brief while in
order that we MAY do honor on
the anniversary Of the birthday
of model man, one of the great
est patriots my state ever con-
tributed to the Republic" Con-
gresham Morrison stated in
opening his address. Mr.. Morri-
son also paid high tribute to Gov
R. A. Doughton whom he describ-
ed as being the greatest legis-
latOr who ever served in the halls
of the general assembly of my
state".
Those of us who have been
privileged to serve side by side
with him through the years on
the ways and means committee
know that he is a man who pos
sesses the highest attributes OF
Christian character and all of the
sterling qualities of manhood, q
man of recognized ability and
demonstrated devotion to public
service; indeed a great American
patriot, great American states
man who enjoys the confidence
respect and genuine affection of
all the members of the commit
tee over which he presides with
such distinguished honor and
g r e t ability" Congressman
Cooper said.
Mr.. Knutson, the ranking Re
publican member of the commit
tee, made the following signifi-
cant speech:
Mr.. Speaker, for me to at
tempt to add anything to what
has been said by the distinguish
ed gentleman from North Caro-
lima (Mr. Morrison) and by our
good friend the gentleman from
Tennessee (Mr. Cooper would
be like gliding the lily; yet I
cannot refrain from taking the

or utter an unkindly thought.
"Marse Bob, we join with the
North Carolinians today in pay
ing you this tribute, and wishing
you length in years. At the rate
you are going now you will be
in this House for another so
years; and, God bless you, I hope
you will"

Praised Doughton In House
OfReDresentatives Last Week

floor for a few moments and pay
ing tribute to one of the great
Americans of this period. The
gentleman from North Carolina
(Mr Morrison), in his splendid
encomium, pictured our beloved
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee as an outstanding
North Carolinian. My friends,
he is more than a North Carolian;
he is an outstanding American,
and 48 States of the Union and
all the Territories join in paying
tribute to this great man today.
It was not given me to attend
college in my youth, having been
raised in a frontier country, but
after having served on the Ways
and Means Committee for 10
years under the able leadership of
the gentleman from North Caro-
lima (Mr. Doughton) I no longer
miss what was denied me back
in those days. Serving under him
has been like going to college.
There is not an ADLER or fairer
presiding officer in either House
of Congress. Woe be unto the
man who comes before our COM
mittee seeking some special privi-
lege or basing his contention up
on false premise. That hard
headed, discerning chairman of
ours picks his arguments to piec-
es. Hardly a day of hearings
pass but what he gives express
sion to some homely truth. I am
reminded of one that he made
only few weeks back, while the
tax bill was under consideration.
He said: "You can shear and
shear a sheep, but you can skin
it only once" That saying will
go down in history. 1t will en-
dure, it will be used by people of
all lands in explaining something
just as long as mortal man has
the use of his tongue.
Bob Doughton is 80 years
young today. With 80 years be-
hind him he is as alert, mentally
and physically, as a man of so,
due to the fact that he has always
taken good care of himself. He
certainly has set a fine example
to the other Members of the
House in the way Of clean living,
and it is most fortunate that more
have not profited by his example.
But that is neither here nor there;
we rejoice in the fact that it is
given to us on the Ways and
Means Committee to have such
an outstanding chairman, and /
say to the American people that
so long as Bob DoughtOn is chair
man Of the Committee on Ways
and Means, we will never Substi-
tute the Wringer for the eagle on
our coat of arms. He is not one
who believes that because a thing
is large it must of necessity be
corrupt. He does not believe that
you pull the man up from a low
er stratum by reaching up and
pulling all men down from the
upper strata. In all the time I
have known him I have never
seen him do an ungenerous thing

REPORTS ON WAR
AGAINST INITIATION

Prices in the United States
advanced only II per cent in
the first 10 months of the pres
ent war compared to 29.5 per
cent in the same period in the
first world war, Judge Fred M.
Vlnson. Director, of Economic
Sterilization, reported on the
first anniversary of the stabili-
cation act. THE wal against
rising prices has been a good
example of democracy in &C
tion," Judge Vinson declared.
1T has not been entirely free
from selfishness and pettiness
and difficulties of many kinds
perhaps no struggle ever is"
Credit for the achievement, he
said, goes Ito the workers who
have abided by the little steel
formula; to the farmers who
have not needed the incentive of
the prices witnessed during the
last war to break all production
records; to the thousands of
businessmen, small and Large,
who have helped hold prices
down." and to the american
housewife for her cooperation
with rationing and price control.
