Poland Is dying at the hands OF
Germans. That was a formidable
accomplishment.
1t could be said that the Polish
government-in-eXile was already
sufficiently Russian, that DR..
Goebbeis little seed merely fell on
fertile ground. These circumstances
do not detract from his grisly
achievement. 1t is not the function
OF propaganda to start wholly new
trends, nor to move mountains. The
function of propaganda is to seek
out existing trends, to nurse them,
to speed them. to build them care
fully, to give the final shove to the
mountain that is already about to

Customer Is Always Right"
DR.. Goebbels' propaganda is not
interested in the slightest degree in
making us love Germany. AS an
able propagandist, he does not at
tempt the impossible. But if there
is among us, say, a whisper that
Gen. de Gaulle is too close to Rus
sia, then he builds on that. When
ever De Gaullists are arrested in
France, they are described as Com
munists; the French underground
movement, of whatever variety, is
labeled Red, even when priests are
involved in it, and, bit by bit, DR..
Goebbels gives greater currency to
this conception and builds up the
fear that already pre-exists in some
American hearts.
The agile propaganda merely
amplifies existing impulses. operat-
ing like kind of electronic tube in
the field Of ideas.
He believes that the customer is
always right, and he will sell him
whatever he wants. If some men,
bers of the Polish government in
exile are so anti-Soviet that they
cannot lay that feeling aside even
for the duration, he does not quarrel
with them, he does not try to steer
them in new directions; he steers
them in the direction in which they
already want to 60.
He tries to build whatever feeling
they already have to the crisis level,
to the acute stage. But they must
have the original impulse before
the propagandist can hope to mag
Nifty it.
The answer to him, of course. is
not contemporaries, but to be-

ing. Reports from Moscow indi-
cate another Polish government
is being readied in Moscow to re-
place that of Gen. Wladyslaw
Sikorski. 1t is believed with
ample cause that such a govern
ment made in Moscow will be
much more pliable concerning
settlement of the Polish bound
aries from the Russian point of
view than the regime in London.
The keen interest in Washing
ton, however, is caused by the
fact that the smaller nations of
Europe are looking to the United
States for their future territorial
reconstruction and any passive
attitude of the United States
Government would discourage
them and play into the hands of
Nazi propaganda.
Our strategy planners count on
a certain amount of help from
Nazi-held territories when we
enter Europe. This assistance is
predicted on the conviction Of the
people of Europe that they will
be able again to enjoy the free
dom they once had.
The mainstay of their hopes Is
America, whose absence of desire
for territorial expansion and
whose kindness in dealing with
other nations is the only guaran-
tee that their countries will live
again. There is a strong feeling
among men who know Europe
we'll that if We adopt a passive
attitude at a time when the fate
of Great Britain and Russia de-
pends on the United States the
Nazi propaganda will play havoc
with the nations which have re-
sisted her since 1889 either pas
sively or actively.
Herr Goebbel's propaganda
machine might turn to them and
say that they need. not look to
the United States to reinstate
them to their old independence,
that America will permit the
other great powers to decide the
fate of the smaller nations.
And having to choose between
the struggle for domination by
the major European powers who
knows that the leaders of the
subjected nations might decide?
In the eyes of competent OBJ
servers Poland is test case.
The outcome will show whether
power politics is to be played
again In Europe. And the con-
sensus is that power politics will
rule once more unless the United
States takes a firm stand.
Unless a definite policy Is enun-
ciated all our efforts to bring
about lasting peace may be in
vain.

people on such vital questions? 1t
was precisely because President Will
son did not consult the Senate in
advance and take into his confidence
the members of that body that we
had friction at home while the
American delegation was struggling
with peace terms in Paris.
Mr.. Roosevelt ought to tell the
Senate or, if desirable. only the For
eign Relations Committee, every
thing that he has agreed to either
tentatively or otherwise. War Sc
crets are difficult enough but post
war secrets and commitments are
bound to defeat international COL
laboration unless the Senate's posi-
ton as a party to the treaty-making
power is recognized.

The Political Mill
Coal Mine Crisis Stirs Criticism Of Lock
Of Strike Bon Law in Wartime

The mines, however, cannot be
operated without miners. An
appeal by the President to the
miners to go back to work, it is
widely believed, would be effec-
tive. The miners in that case
will have to decide whether to 60
along with the President or with
John L. Lewis. Only an actual
test will show what their decision
will be.
Pending Measure Cited.
There is pending before the
committees of Congress a bill,
which while it does not mention
strikes, would be effective in pre-
venting them by the control
which, as law, it would extend
over both management and en-
ployes. 1t is the Wadsworth-
Austin manpower bill, sometimes
referred to as the labor draft bill.
Extensive hearings have been
held before the Senate Military
Affairs Committee on the meas
ure, and it has had extremely
strong backing. But even this law,
if enacted, would act to prevent
strikes. by indirection-instead of
the direct prohibition against
work stoppages in war plants
which an anti-strike law would
provide.
This Wadsworth Austin bill
amends the Selective Service Act
the military draft. It makes
men between the ages of 18 and
IS, who have been deferred from
military service liable for service
as production workers" The
President is authorized to deter
mine from time to time what
occupations are essential to the
prosecution of the war, and Ito
select and assign for service as
production workers" such men as
are in his judgment required.
These men would pass through
the operation of the local draft
boards. The law would cover men
already engaged in essential
work. and their jobs. Certainly
If the projected coal strike be-
comes effective, the demand OF
the American public for the pas
sage of this law will be greatly
intensified.
Defied Labor Board.
Mr.. Lewis has defied the War
Labor Board, to which the coal
miners controversy was certified,
refusing to appoint labor mem
bers to the panel to handle the
case, or to appear himself. He
attacked the Labor Board vicious
ly. He does not, it appears, in
tend to submit the case to an
agency which he does not believe
he can dominate. His demands
are for 50 a day increase in
miners basic wages, a minimum
of SO a day, pay for underground
travel portal to portaD, and un-
ionization of minor bosses.
The coal producers reply that
the miners are already well paid
and are not going hungry as
Mr.. Lewis has dramatically as
serted. With a six-day week in
operation, the miners in the
Southern Appalachian area were
averaging s46.79 a week in Feb
ruary.
Unless there is to be a wide
range of increased wage de-
mands, the administration must
stand firm in this case. 1t has
Welded to Mr.. Lewis in every IN
stance in which they have met
head-on in the past. But the
sooner Congress enacts a law
which will curb work stoppages in
war industries, the sooner this
country will be- free of such
threats to the dislocation Of the
war program.

This was the time for Kay to tell
him that she was leaving the store,
but it had entirely slipped her

hear what he was going to tell her.
A new department was what she
needed to start her imagination
working along fresh lines, to whip
up her interest.
