OF the boys were enrolled, and the
ngure has remained at approx
mately the same level for many
years in the past. If it is not in
creased this year, another argu-
ment will have been added for max
ing years training compulsory.
1t is probable that the cost of uni
forms prevents some boys from join
ing the Cadet Corps. Compulsory
training should be accompanied by
provision for uniform allowances, as
in the land grant colleges. Those
who have looked into the matter
anticipate no difficulty in obtaining
cooperation from the War Depart
ment in this respect. Mr.. Randolph
also wishes to find out more about
whether compulsory training would
interfere with the work schedules of
boys who have after-school Jobs.
But he is convinced, with others,
that the present cadet training does
not reach nearly as many boys as it
should; that there are many advan-
tsges in compulsory course of at
least year and that the high schools
here, as well as in other parts of the
country, are coming to it. He in
tends to go through with the legis-
lation when the time comes and be-
lives it will be approved by Congress.

Purty Labels

The unanimous ruling by the ap-
pellate division of the New York
Supreme Court that Magistrate
Thomas A. Aurelio cannot be dis
qualified as Democratic and Repub-
lican nominee for Supreme Court
justice threatens to result in a most
unf1attering commentary on the
workings of party politics.
Aurelio first was nominated by the
Democrats and then indorsed by the
Republicans. A few days later, how
ever, the embarrassing discovery was
made that Aurelio had telephoned
one Frank Costello, reputed rack
eteer, to thank him for securing the
Democratic nomination and to
pledge his "undying loyalty Thus,
both major parties were in the sorry
position Of having indorsed as a
judicial candidate man whose first
loyalty was owing to an alleged
racketeer.
To the credit of the Democratic
and Republican leaders, it should be
said that they have made determined
efforts to have Aurelio's name
stricken from the ballots, but the
chances Of success In this direction
seem remote unless the Legislature
can be called into special session to
enact legislation dealing specifically
with this case. And there is little
prospect that this will be done.
As a result, the probabilities are

Convicts Help Out

From the Topeka Capital
There Is double significance in the
awarding of citation to the State Peni-
tentiary at Lansing for war production
service.
Directly, the effect is to help step
up production for victory. Indirectly,
the effect is to assist in rehabilitating
men by giving them something to do,
an outlet through which they can feel
assured of having a part in whipping
the Axis. This is rehabilitation of the
best kind.
Taken the country over, there are
about 100 penitentiaries with around
100000 prisoners engaging in war pro-
duction Of various kinds. Naturally,
there is no absenteeism, and pay is small.
But the convicts are said to work with
high zeal, and seem to appreciate the
opportunity of helping lick Hitler and
the Japs.
1t is obvious that many of the men
who are now working behind prison bars
are acquiring skills which will fit them
for honest, useful lives when they gain
their freedon-the American freedom
which they are helping to preserve, even
while behind penitentiary walls.

Still UNEXPLAINED

The speculative comment in high
quarters" in official Washington on
the puzzling statement issued earlier
this week by General Douglas Mac
Arthur, while reassuring as to his
future status, does nothing to identi-
fy the real causes of General Mac
Arthur's apparent dissatisfaction.
These officials said that nothing
happened at Quebec to change
MacArthurs status. The strategy of
the campaign which General Mac
Arthur is now directing was agreed
upon in main outline at Cassablanca,
the plan which he submitted being
adopted virtually intact. Further
more, according to these high
quarters" there is at present no
controversy between Macarthur and
the War Department or between
Macarthur and the high command.
The net effect of this is that rank
ing military authorities in Washing
ton know of no reason, or at least of
no new reason, for dissatisfaction on
the part of General Macarthur, and
are not aware of anything that would
relegate him to what was described
in his statement as secondary and
subsidiary role" That will be reas-
suring to the many Americans who
have the highest regard for General
MacArthur's military ability, and
who would keenly resent anything
that smacked of letting him down"
after having borne such a large
share of the fight against the Japa-
nese during the nearly two years
since Pearl Harbor.
But If the impression given in
Washington Is correct, what was at
the bottom of MacArthur's COM
plant? 1t is suggested that his re-
marks may have, been aimed at GER
tain anti-Government newspapers in
Australia, but that is theory which
hardly holds water since the first
sentence Of the Macarthur state
ment made specific reference to
press reports from the United States
and England implying that his part
in the war was to be progressively
curtailed."
AS has been pointed out before,
the answer to the question is not to
pe found in the statement itself, for
1t Is thoroughly ambiguous. If
Washington has no answer, clarifica-
tion must await further comment
from Macarthur, and 1t may very
well be that, after sleeping on the
matter, he feels that he has said too
much already.

The Legion Speaks Again

Once again the American Legion
has distinguished itself by an out
standing expression on foreign policy
It's resolution on that subject at the
close of the Omaha convention is
strengthened by reiteration of its
declaration of a year ago. For that
declaration is good statement OF
present-day public opinion:
No peace, however welcome, however
promising, can long endure, unless it
be made secure by the nations which
have won it; nations which must ever
be prepared in every sense to fight
for the right of free men and freedom
loving peoples. We cannot escape, we
will not evade, our own responsibility
for the maintenance of that peace.
We must not forget our stake in it.
Every consideration of national in
terest dictates that we prevent recur-
renee of the conditions which led to
this war.
Our own national interests, says
the resolution, are best served "by
participation in the establishment
and maintenance of an association of
free and sovereign nations, imple-
mented with whatever force is neces-
sary y" The particulars of how
this is to be done are not known now.
To attempt to state them would be
premature, "* but 1t must be
obvious to all the world now that no
peace can be lasting and secure for
nations that are not fully prepared
to maintain peace"
The Legion resolution is important
If for no other reason than that it
expresses the sentiment of a repre-
sentative section of middle-age
Americans, men to whom the First
World War was an intimate and
personal experience; who lived
through the disillusionment of the
peace which followed that war; who
saw the same forces against which
they fought marshaling again for
destruction and who have seen their
own sons 60 out to fight and perhaps
to die because their fathers, some
where along the line, failed to hold
what they had gained.
More Americans every day are
coming to see the importance, as the
Legion has seen it all along, of bind
ing our people now in firm resolve
that what happened after the First
World War will not be repeated after
this war. That realization has ex-
pressed itself in the Fulbright resolu-
ton, passed by an overwhelming
majority of the House. It is ex-
pressing itself III the efforts OF in
telligent Americans the Nation over
to point out the difference between
the principle of international COL
laboration, which should be sup
ported now, and the precise details
OF effecting that collaboration, which
cannot be passed on now because
they are not known. Now is the time
to strengthen support of the prin-
ciple, but not to damn the principle
because the details have not been
revealed.

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE A DISCIPLINED LIFE
By the Rep Arthur O. HELM,
Pastor OF the Augustana Lutheran Church.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for
wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat:
because strait is the gate and narrow
is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it."-St.
Matthew, vii. 1914.
The neglected fruit tree reverts to
type. The abandoned house pet, If 1t
lives, develops a nature suggestive of
its more ferocious ancestors. The man,
who throws off all restraint and allows
his baser passions free course, soon
ceases to contribute to the uplift of
the race, except insofar as his life pro-
vides humanity with an example of
the degrading result of the lack Of dis
cipline. Discipline Is essential to eff
cheney and improvement. The athlete
Is what he is because of training. It
is because he has disciplined his body
that he is able to do with it what
another cannot do. The skilled me-
chanic, the successful surgeon, the
artist, the scientist, the scholar, all have
achieved the power to do the things
that belong to their speciality by care
fully disciplining their minds, their
hands and the particular sensibilities
involved in their work This thought,
applied to character and godliness, is
the thought that Jesus is emphasizing
in His words quoted above. The wide
gate and the broad way represent the
easy life, the spiritually careless and
aimless life, while the strait gate and
the narrow way represent the Christian,
who takes his religion seriously.
The words of Jesus quoted above
occur in the latter part of His Sermon
on the Mount, indicating that the par
ticular spiritual discipline to which the
Christian must subject himself is the
discipline described in that sermon.
Isn't that also what He definitely de-
clares In its very last statement: Who
soever heareth these sayings of mine
and doeth them, him will I liken unto
wise man, who buildeth his house
upon the rock; and the rain descended
and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and
it fell not: for it was founded upon a
rock?
Space does not permit that we dwell
on all the elements of the discipline
set forth in Christs Sermon on the
Evening star., 1943-09-26

that election day will find Aurelio's
name still on both ballots, and al
though the major party leaders have
indorSed other candidates on minor
party tickets, the pulling power of
party labels is such that most New
York political observers believe
Aurelio will win. They reason that
the mass of voters are so accus-
toned to voting a straight party
ticket that Aurelio will be elected
to the Supreme Court despite his
repudiation by the leaders of both
parties.
Should that forecast prove &C
curate it will be an interesting, but
not a reassuring, commentary on the
workings Of our political system.
Evening star., 1943-09-26

Mount. We suggest that the reader
himself carefully study this marvellous
discourse in Matthew'S gospel, chapters
S, 6 and 7. Our text, however, suggests
two of these disciplinary elements, both
fundamental to Christian life and both
proclaimed by Jesus as strongly in His
life as In His words. The one Is the
exercise of humanity before God; the
other is the practice of courage before
men.
No life has ever been more humble
before the Father than that of Jesus
Christ. We think of Him in the wilder
ness. We think of Him in His all-night
vigils on the mountain top. We think
OF Him in Gethsemane. We think of Him
on the cross You can see, too, can you
not, how this element of spiritual dis
cipline is urged by Him in His reference
to the strait gate, particularly, if, as
is generally believed, the gate to which
He refers be proportionately as low
as 1t is strait, SO that man must not
only deflate himself, but must also stoop
and perhaps even crawl to get through
1t? That says Jesus, is the beginning
OF the Christian way of life.
And before men has there ever been
more courageous life than Christ's,
life more outstanding than His in
the matter of Drawing the prejudices
and enmities of the whole world rather
than prove unfaithful to the right and
the good? It's an easy thing to GO
along with the crowd, but it requires
real discipline of spirit to hold fast to
principle when to do so involves re-
sisting the pressure of public opinion.
OF course, there is resistance to public
opinion which is but the evidence of
an inflated ego. Not so, however, the
kind Of resistance the Christian Is called
upon to practice. The narrow way"
is the continuation of "the strait gate"
Christian courage before man is the
product of humility before God.
Yes, the cessation of discipline is the
beginning Of failure. When training
rules no longer are observed the athlete
is done. The artistry of the musician
and the fiexibility Of the singers voice
continue only so long as there is dill
gence in practice. Let there be no mis-
take about the fact that spiritually, too,
among nations and individuals, there
is reversion to type when discipline
has ceased. Beware of the example
of Judas.

Compulsory Cadet Service

Widespread Endorsement of the
proposal for at least a year of COM
pulsory military education in the
high schools would justify Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee in introducing necessary
legislation now. Members of the
Board Of Education and school off,
'cials are committed in principle to
the idea and the members of Mr..
Randolph's committee are favorable.
But Mr.. Randolph probably is wise
In waiting for further information
before going ahead with legislation.
For one thing, he and the school
officials are anxious to find out what
results, in increased enrolment,
will follow the efforts Of the princi-
pals to encourage voluntary service
this fall. Last year about 33 per cent

Pacific Electric Strike

A1iC teLlpoIlAlne pOllcy followed
by the administration in dealing
with the wage dispute on the Pacific
Electric Railway has proved of no
avail, and $500 trainmen are on
strike, diSrupting interurban freight
and passenger service within a sixty
mile radius of Los Angeles, one of
the key areas in the war effort. AS
is always true under such circum-
stances, there Is danger the strike
will spread. President Roosevelt has
created another emergency board to
investigate the trouble, the third, it
might be said, that has appeared in
this case. There is no reason to be-
lieve, however, that it will make any
more progress toward a settlement
than it's predecessors. In fact, the
new board may not act at all, as Mr..
Roosevelt has served notice it will
not take up the case while the strike
Is in effect, and there is no apparent
inclination on the part Of the train
men to go back to work for the priv
ilege of obtaining a review, which.
at best, can be of doubtful value to
them.
The history of the controversy,
which has been hanging fire since
last year, is Illuminating. The COM
pany, owned by the Southern Pacific,
rejected wage proposals advanced by
the employees, and after the custo-
mary processes of the National
Mediation Board had failed, the issue
was submitted to an emergency panel
appointed by the President. The
panel recommended an increase of
thirteen cents hourly, to which the
company agreed, but in the mean
time the Presidents "hold the line"
stabilization order had gone into ef-
feet, and Sterilization. Director Vim
son cut the award to three cents
hourly as the maximum allowable
under the. Little Steel formula.
Late in July, with a strike Threatened
by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, President Roosevelt per-
suaded the men to stay on the Job
by naming another committee to re-
view the case. This group recently
filed a report, not yet made public,
which was described as purely fac
tual containing no recommends
tions. Dissatisfied at this turn of af-
fairs, the union ordered the strike.
AS an isolated instance, this strike
might not be too serious, but the
background from which it springs
parallels so closely the year old ef-
fort of the railroad brotherhoods to
get a national wage increase that it
does not require much Imagination
to picture the possibility of trouble
developing on wider scale, II the
Los Angeles dispute Is permitted to
drag along.
Still relying on the Little Steel"
formula, Director Vinson has ruled
out an emergency board award pro-
posed for 100000 incorporating en-
ployes, and similar disposition pre-
sumably awaits wage demands of the
operating brotherhoods. The brother
hoods have gone to the White House,
and while the President has evinced
a sympathetic attitude, Director Vim
son is holding his ground. Obvious
ly the time has come for fortnight
action. If Mr.. Vinson Is to be up
held, that should be established def
initely. If he is not, that, too, should
be made clear. Certainly, repeated
Investigations that cover the same
ground can be viewed only as delay
ing tactics that accomplish nothing.
