1t Was No Victory

Subsequently to government seizure of
the coal mines, an operator of one of the
seized mines noted that some of the min
ers were referring to their new employer"
with "fulsome praise" They looked upon
the seizure as victory for the miners. But
it was no victory. The longer the mines
remain in a state of temporary socializa
ton, the more the workers stand to lose.
The National Industrial Conference
Board describes exactly what the miners
have to look forward to under govern
ment ownership: "There is a decisive
change in the attitude of the state toward
wages when it moves from the position of
the arbitrator who is ruling on wages to
be paid by someone else to the position
of investor who is ruling on the wages
to be paid by itself"
There in nutshell is the difference
between this country and dictatOr-ridden
countries where the citizen has degener-
ated into mere work horse deprived of
all freedom and initiative. In such coun-
tries, government is ruthless business
enterprise - a SweatShop of the worst
character. 1t pays what it pleases and it's
employees work as long as it tells them to-
The price of refusal means death or
concentration camp. There is no arbl-
traitor to whom workers can turn to plead
their case In the United States the
government is the arbitrator. It's his
toric role has been that of umpire. In
that role it has encouraged progress. 1t
has encouraged higher standard of liv-
ing for American workmen. The coal
miners are losing the benefit of govern
ment as an arbitrator. The longer the
mines remain under government opera
ton, the less potent will become the
union
1t is to the interests of labor, more than
any other group, to urge modification OF
one-sided labor legislation such as the
Wagner Act and to insist on the adoption
of government policy of equal treatment
and encouragement for all-capital, en-
ployer and labor alike.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-03

but they also seek to prevent fire. AS Jesse
Jones, Secretary of Commerce, recently
remarked, in commencing the fire pre-
vention work of the industry: "The rate
of destruction by fires in the three years
since 1889 is 40 per cent lower than the
rate for the similar three-year period fol-
lowing the outbreak of the first World
War;"
The insurance industry is rendering
still another service that is of incalcul-
able value. When you buy an insurance
policy, you are indirectly helping to fin
ance the war. The premiums from insur
ance of all kinds are being invested in
government bonds. Insurance reserves
are non-inflationary. A government bond
in the hands of an insurance company is
merely an investment which may be used
to pay possible claims. 1t creates no new
credit money. The insurance industry
contributes in no small part to the sue
cess of every war bond campaign Its pur-
chases run into many billions of dollars.
Don't let anyone tell you that this or
that industry is more essential than some
other industry. All industry today is do
ing its part to win this war. All industry
should share in the credit for victory
not just so-called war plants" which
would be helpless without the support OF
"non-War plants

De Gaulle Disappoints

It is with great reluctance that any
lover of France and of democracy criti-
cizes General Charles de Gaulle. When
almost everybody else il. France, from
whom we had the right to expect courage,
devotion and faith, threw in the sponge,
De Gaulle'S was a voice crying in the
wilderness. For the Fighting French
movement, for the hope that still lives in
the occupied homeland, for the survival
of something of the old French spirit of
liberty, equality, fraternity" we have
General de Gaulle to thank. But now,
it seems to us, the General is undoing
much of what he accomplished when
there was nobody else to take up the
torch. BY his insiStence upon having his
own way, without compromise, in the
negotiations with that other French pa
triot, General Henri Honore Giraud he is
decreasing the potential effectiveness of
the movement he fathered - and he is
creating discord at the worst possible
time, when the unified action of all loyal
Frenchmen is most needed for the invas-
ion that is to free France from the Nazi
heel. There is too much assumption
that either General deGaulle or General
Giraud is wholly right - the other wholly
wrong. This is not clash between a con-
sistent patriot and a converted appeaser.
1t is merely conflict of honest opinions
between two patriots.
General Giraud, being a prisoner of
war, could not have done what General
de Gaulle did at the time he did it. In
all probability General Giraud does not
have the personality to do what General
de Gaulle did. But that is no reason for
belittling his patriotism or his ability to
contribute to the Fighting French move
ment.
For many years now the tragedy OF
France has been the inability of her lead
ers to compromise their often petty diff
ferences, to unite for the national well
fare. This, perhaps more than anything
else, was responsible for the disunity
which enabled Hitler to win so easily.
It is time for Generals de Gaulle and
Giraud, and their partisans, to get to-
gether - and it is beyond dispute that
Generals Giraud has gone much more
than half way in demonstrating his rea-
SonablenesS If there should be a break
down because General de Gaulle refuses
to make even slight concessions, the cause
of France, of the United Nations and OF
democracy will suffer = and much of the
luster will be Clipped off the glory Gen.
eral de Gaulle has so richly earned

An entirely new type of brushes for
household use is promised A. w., mean
ing after the war. All the clever, cute
contrivances of standard brushes by Full
Ter and others for teeth or room falls,
hair or floors, will be outdone by the
new nylon brushes which are predicted.
Bristles will be nylon finished, that same
product which went into your hosiery and
goes into war products. Nylon we read,
was Just about to be launched for many
such uses when it was taken over or up
by the government for more important
things. But it is felt that once the war
is over it will once again be pretty useful
for all kinds of products.

A Thought for Today


one hundred and SiXty-Seven years ago,
IN downtown Philadelphia, little band of
fearful but courageous men proclaimed to
the world certain human principles which,
rom that day to this, have been the
odestar for this nation. Nothing in the
Declaration of independence was really
aew except its compilation in a single
document in words that rang with sin
certify and purpose. 1t is, as many have
said, document of glittering generali-
ties, and yet it has provided Inspiration
for all the peoples who from that day
TO this have sought to struggle toward
genuine, working democracy Of all the
pungent phraseology in that Declaration,
probably none expresses either the spirit
Of America or the goal toward which we
now are fighting so we'll as one short
clause:
"Governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed"
1t is all very we'll for biologists and
evangelists and zealots to dream of how
we might make the whole world over in
to our own image, but the great mass
Of our people have in mind just two things
they want to see come out of Victory
First, that this nation itself shall main
tain a government that derives its
powers exclusively from the consent OF
the governed. Second, that the rest of the
world shall be guaranteed the opportun-
ity to establish governments that derive
their powers from the consent of the
governed. Everything else is secondary
Everything else flows from this one thing
If in the course of generations, we can
assure that the governments of the world
shall all derive their powers from the con-
sent of the governed, everything else will
follow automatically For all people,
everywhere, want the same things that
we do-freedom, prosperity, peace

THE PRESIDENT is RIGHT
New Herald Tribune)

The Presidents decision in the
case of Max Stephan was not an
easy one to make, but this news
paper feels that 1t was right. The
man was guilty of treason, and IN
this day, when so many lives may
be taken by a treachery and when
our enemies have brought the black
arts of treason, espionage, subtle
disloyalty and disruption to such
great and scientific height, that is
not crime which can be taken
with less than deadly seriousness.
There are probably too many others
who think their allegiance Is a
small thing or are convinced, like
Stephan, that at any rate Hitler
won't let them hang" But the
Presidents distinction between de-
grees of the crime was an appro-
pirate one. Stephan did not act in
accordance with preconceived
plan; he seems not to have been
part OF an organized conspiracy, and
to exact from him the same death
penalty which was imposed on such
deliberate enemies as the NaZi sabo-
teurs would have been excessive. 1t
would have been felt as contrary to
American standards of humanity
and justice, and might therefore
have defeated its purpose. The life
sentence should stand as sufficient
| warning.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-03

We come again to one of the average
Americans favorite topics, the rural
schoolhouse. We have number of them
scattered about our state, but as is SO
often remarked, they are fast disappear
ing Somehow or other to our minds
they do not seem to be so much part
of the New York area, but the Metro
poltan newspaper carried a story this
week of the closing of 46 year old rural
school in Richmond Valley, which is on
Staten Islands south shore. The clos
ing came from an order of the board of
education as measure of economy. The
schoolhouse in question was two-room
affair built in 1897 and it's teacher for the
past twenty-five years began her educa-
ton there. The passing out of existence
of such school buildings removes from
the American scene one of its most dis
tinctive features - the old rural school,
house, about which most of us are SO
proud if not bOaStful.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-03

Usually Roosevelt would rather
find a compromise than to Of
fend people. Sometimes he goes
to extreme lengths to find a new
place for a man who doesn't fit.
But when it came to choice of
letting prices rise Or offending
Chester Davis, he took the latter
course with vengeance.
His letter to Davis will go down
in the Roosevelt records as one
of the sharpest letters he ever
penned. Though it opened with
the usual first-naming cDear
Chester"), it told Davis to get out
Immediately, instead of waiting to
announce his new program for
1914. 1t also charged that Da-
Wis was unwilling to support a
program to hold down the cost
of living"
Davis was brought to Washing
ton because Of his farm support,
but inside fact is that trouble be-
gan as soon as Roosevelt found
Davis was using that support for
his own food program rather than
the Presidents.
Davis has always been close
to Republican farm leader
Earle Smith and conservative
Ed O'Neal of the Farm Bureau.
But when he began to play the
Smith O'Neal game on Capitol
Hill opposing subsidies and
the roll-back Of prices - the
President thought it was time
to get rid of opposition within
the official family.
The question of how much auth
GRITTY Davis had or didn't have
is incidental. He might have had
more if he had played ball and
tried to hold the line in the first
place. But as it became ap-
parent that Chester was not a
holder of -the-line, he was more
and more frequently overruled by
Jimmy Byrnes.
So Davis raised the cry of di-
Vlded authority.
Final split came over the ques-
ton of subsidies, which the
President believes is being used
as a red herring by food process
sors, who found in Davis con-
venient mouth piece. One rea-
son for their opposition is the
fact that subsidies and the roll
back of prices would require
government inspection of their
books and records.
FDR'S COMEBACK
The New Deal has lost much OF
of it's old fervor. Domestic issues
have given way to war issues. But
now Roosevelt is coming back,
like a prodigal son, to the liberal
struggles which made him famous.
Hes is determined to
He is determined to keep
prices down Tor the housewife
and the average consumer. The
Republicans are already prepar
ing to make food shortages a
campaign issue next year, and
Roosevelt is selecting his own
weapons for the duel.
NOTE: When Davis came to
Washington for the War Food job,
he gave indication he thought it
would be a temporary job, which
he might quit at any time. In
stead of taking modest gov
eminent salary, he preferred to
keep his handsome salary as Fed

Frankfurter out of the building
after his conference. The Su-
preme Court Justice took both and
hurried off. After he was gone
the receptionist hastily referred
to a Congressional Directory.
"Hmmm, well, it just goes
to show yOu," she remarked to
the next visitor. "That man was
born in Austria. You can't be
too careful these days."
ANTI-STRIKE FURY
The Presidents veto message of
the anti-strike bill arrived on
Capitol Hill at 3:05 p, M, and
here is one conversation which
took place at 3:06 between two
loyal Roosevelt leaders who had
no inkling that the message was
coming.
House Leader John Mccormack
of Massachusetts,, comforting with
Democratic Whip Ramspeck of
Georgia, said he would vote to
sustain the veto, even though he
Mccormack, originally had voted
for the anti-strike bill.
But Ramspeck demurred.
II can't do it, john" he
said. II supported the bill in
the first place because l was as
sured that the President was for
it. 1 don't like to desert the
President, but after all, it looks
like he hasn't been faithful to
U.S."
Burning with fury over the
White House shift, Mccormack re-
piled:
"Well, 1 can't desert the ship,
Bob, but l can't object if you
do
NOTE: Speaker Sam Rayburn
who had been informed by Jul
tice Byrnes that the President was
for the anti-strike bill, was so
furious that he put the bill to
an immediate vote, knowing full
we'll the President would be de-
fetaed.

Part of the Churchill remarks

GERS home in a glass case which
bore the simple inscription, Tobe's
Boots - BE we faithful unto death
and I will give you crown of life"
The New Testament has a great
deal to say about fidelity. 1t is one
of the simplest of virtues and yet
one of the most precious. To be
faithful to ones tasks, to do ones
tasks, to do ones duty even through
ones life-blood has to run out on
the ground, are circumstances which
are highly pleasing in Gods sight.
To the Most High God, some things
in the world are both worth living

men live for these things and die
for the same, the joyful salutatior
from on high is, well done, gooe
