. Kind Words for The War Effort

In these days when there is so much
critical comment-so much of the spirit
of. we'll it's pretty good, Butt is re-
freshing to find IN the Congressional
Record some extracts from an address by
Raymond Gram Swing. Besides being one
of the country's most popular common
tators. Mr.. Swing is one of those persons
who goes about looking for the good that
men do as well as their shortcomings.
For those who sometimes lose the pros
pective and rage about the inefficiencies
of government or are carried off balance
by those who may be bit inclined to en-
phasize deficiencies rather than accom-
plishments, these paragraphs by Mr..
Swing should prove comforting, as they
were to group of senators the other day:
when was in London last year found
myself several times with persons who
were moaning and grooming about the
dreadful way things were being done by
the British Government And | said.
'Wait a minute; let me tell you about
things in Washington; :" whereupon the
Englishmen looked startled, and said. For
goodness sake, don't. Let us at least have
the comfort that government somewhere
else is better
Wherever there is government YOU can
be sure there is friction, ferment, fever,
Illustration, and a high heat of personal
fury. 1t is so in Berlin and in Moscow, not
only in London and Washington. | am not
saying that things couldn't be better in
Washington, or that efforts should not be
insistent on making them better. But / do
say that the measure of progress is not
the temper of critical observers who watch
Washington -.
''The truth is that beside friction and
conflict there is something in great volume
and high quality in Washington which
doesn't make news, and so it isn't recogn-
lied enough. II is the loyalty and hard
work of the persons who are here"
IF there is Woodworking city in the
world than Washington, | never heard of
it. That is generalization, but | think
1t holds despite the exceptions Men and
women of ability toll long hours. They
have to work harder. grant you, because
government work always is frustrating.
Nor is it well compensated, and certainly
it does not bring much reward in praise
and personal honor.
"The same hard work has been done not
only in Washington, but wherever war
work has been in hand.
"The fervor and public spirit of in
dustrial management in this war has
been, as a whole, Towering of citizen
ship and ability of the highest order.
''The devotion of American workers
in industry and on the farms has been
steady and deep, and not enough graft
tude has been expressed for that.

markable achievements this year have been
