Is desperately old-fashioned politics,
dear to the hearts Of certain political
writer's who believe they know every
step Of the four-year polka, in spite
Of accumulated evidence which
shows that none Of the rules has
meant anything for half 4 genera
ton. Mere "availibility' as 4 cri-
terion for selecting candidates has
become an antique, ranking with the
mustache cup; availability means
nonentity; the Republicans have
been available twice since Hoover
and 1t has availed them nothing.
Only Mr.. Willkie (the new Mr..
Willkie) on the Republican side has
taken the road Of deep and positive
commitment, at least on world af-
fairs; he Is the only one who has
tried. by taking thought, to make
himself q candidate, instead OF look
ing into the tea leaves to discover
whether he is one. Instead Of count
ing his children, he has found out
what time 1t is, and has spoken &C.
cordingly. The result is that he is
positively drenched in glamour. I
predict that II he would only COM
NIT himself twice a day on current
issues, including a few domestic
ones. such as keeping food prices
down. he would leave the favorite
sons so far behind by Christmas that
1t Is doubtful whether they would
ever get to the convention on time.

or In fact which occasions criticism
here. America is glad to pay more
than her fair share Of the war costs,
but America does not want to be
confronted in the postwar period
with competition In the world mar
kets developed out Of American
funds originally allocated for war
purposes. That's the question to
be explored and not the measure

Of either country in financial terms,
for such measurement simply can
not be made and never ought to be.

goes.
It Is fairly safe to say that every
thing you've ever read about China
- vast continent Of contradictions,
inhabited by i've hundred million
paradoxesLis 50, including this
statement. An unknown number
Of these enigmas-some say i've
million, some say ten, others say
twenty millions-are soldiers. And
being Chinese, everything you've
ever heard about them-and q great
many things you haven't heard-ars
also true.
Not so many years ago the Chi
nese soldier-hired by a local war
lord to fight against fellow Chinese
under a neighboring war lord-went
OIL to battle, carrying his bird
cage and tea kettle, his fan and
parasol. He exhibited an under
standable lack Of enthusiasm for
his Job and q commendable molina
ton to drop what he was doing
and head for home by the shortest
route, whenever the opportunity
looked propitious. Somewhere i'm
bedded in his ancient wisdom Is
that golden nugget, He who fights
and runs away will live to fight
another day" In short, your Chi
nese soldier Of not 20 long ago
was rice soldier" who fought only
when his bowl was empty. and who
left OF the idiotic business Of fra
ternal warfare when there was q
chance his bowl might be broken.
Ancient Truths Cited.
Superficial observers deduced
from this that the Chinese soldier
was not q good fghter-that he
couldn't and wouldn't take 1t.
Didn't the Sage himself say some
thing about never using good iron
to make nails or good men to make
soldiers? And for q score OF centu-
ries was 1t not the scholar who was
the honored man In the nation and
the soldier who was the lowest form
Of communal life?
Even the miitaristic Japanese
were fooled-the feudal and regi-
mented Japanese who should have
known the humorous, Individuals
tic Chinese better. AL they had
learned had its roots In China
even their precious Judo grew out
Of Chinese boxing. and its under
lying principle-the art Of con-
quering by yielding"-was = COM
monplace Of Taoist philosophy long
before the aboriginal islanders of
Japan had come down out Of
their trees.
Yes. the Japanese have been
fooled-and foiled. Fighting and
falling back to tight again, the Chi
nese soldier has survived seven
years Of bloody hell. It was he who
lremembered-and the invading jap
anese who forgot-the old Oriental
wisdom Of conquering by yielding.
Trading space for time" Is the new
name for 1t.
Soldiers Really Tough.
But the Chinese soldier who left
his bird cage and fan at home
who traded his parasol for q rifle
his tea kettle for . homemade hand
grenAde-and for more than seven
years outfought, outwitted and out
gained the mechanical hordes of a
vicious, rapacious and ruthless in
|vader-has traded more than space
for time. He has poured oceans Of
blood into the balance and thrown
countless millions Of lives into
the scales.
And let US not forget that in ex-
change for all this incredible suffer-
ing and sacrifice, the Chinese SOL
dier, simple, peasant boy tn faded
blue rags, desperately In need Of
medicines Is well as munitions, in
domitably scorching his good earth
and CALAMITY dying in the mud, has
won time-precious time-for US.

The Political Mill

Wou1o operate against such q
declination. Further, since the
Congress makes all appropria-
tions for these Government agen-
cies 1t is unlikely that their heads
would wish to provoke its re-
sentiment. The only tenable rea-
son for refusing to appear and
answer questions would be that
questioning is against the best
interests Of the country-for ex-
ample when secrecy is required
in the details Of the war effort.
It has been argued that under
the Constitution the three
branches of the Government,
legislative, executive and judicial,
are intended to be entirely sep
arate-and should be kept sep
arate. There is, however, no good
reason why they should be her
metically sealed against each
other. Nor are they. in actual
practice. The President is called
upon by the Constitution to make
reports on the state Of the Union
to Congress, and he does. He
makes special recommendations
Of legislation that he deems
needed. The cabinet ofIicers and
other ofncials are called upon
under the law to submit reports
to Congress. These officials ap-
pear constantly before commit
tees Of Congress to discuss needed
appropriations and legislation.
The President approves laws en-,
acted by the Congress or they
are passed over his veto or re-
jected. Members of Congress con-
stantly visit heads OF depart
ments and vice versa.
Would Curb Investigations.
The Kefauver proposal would
give all the members Of the House
an opportunity to learn Of the
administration Of the laws they
pass from the responsible heads
Of departments. It would give
these offlcials an opportunity to
explain to the House just what
their departments are doing and
why. 1t would make unnecessary,
1t Is argued. many OF the special
investigations voted by the House,
some of which are merely fish
Ing" expeditions and which would
not be voted at all, If the whole
membership Of the House had
complete information.
Mr.. Kefauver maintains that
II his plan is adopted 1t would
step up the speed Of government
without in any way disturbing
the balance as between the execu-
tive and legislative branches of
the Government. It would also
give to administrative officers an
opportunity to reply to criticisms
OF their departments in the open
House. a real forum, which they
do not now possess.
There have been many pro-
posals in the past that cabinet
officers be permitted to take part
IN debate on the door OF the
House or the Senate, when mat
ters particularly affecting their
departments are under considera-
ton. In 1864 4 select committee
OF the House unanimously ap-
proved such . plan. In 1881 a
select committee of the Senate
made a similar recommendation.
1t was adopted by seven out
standing members OF that body,
Senators George H. Pendleton,
w. B. Allison, D. w. Vorhees,
James G. Blaine. John J. Inglass,
o. H. Platt and J. T. Farley.
President Taft recommended a
similar plan in a message to Con-
gress.- President Wilson, Presi-
dent GARFIELD, John w. Davis and
Elihu Root also supported the
proposal.

To Members of the

The suspension and detention OF
Patrolman Jesse Stewart and Pa
trolman William Mckinley Will
liams indicates that the prosecuting
attorney and the police department
are continuing their efforts to show
that Negroes were the sole inSti-

II appears by his unusual pro-
cedure OF asking that these police
officers be held under $4,000 bond
TO insure their presence and testi-
mony at the trial OF some of the
persons accused with melting the
riot, that the prosecutor is max
ing a desperate effort to conjure
in the minds OF the public the
specter that these two officers in
plain clothes could have prevented
the riot.
We note that no charges Of dere-
