Britannica Revision

When the fourteenth edition of the
Encyclopedia Britannica appeared in
1887, the late Franklin H. Hooper,
editor, and Walter Yust, his associate
and successor, joined in a preface in
which they said: Invention and
science have in recent years ad-
vanced mans intellectual boundaries
as never before, and at the same
time they have presented to this
generation many new problems, the
solution of which is by no means
easy. Education has advanced, but
whether with equal rapidity is doubt
full. Under these circumstances the
heed for work of reference and
broad scope and thorough accuracy
is more pressing now than ever
before"
The new issue of the Britannica, the
sponsors modestly declared, was
offered "as an educational instru-
ment in a changing and complex
world" How mutable and compli-
Gated it is trifle more than half a
decade afterward only Mr.. Yust sur
wives to see. The fact, however, is
common in the experience of thou
sands of his contemporaries. A
crueler and vaster struggle between
nations already has altered the whole
picture of human life in this planet
and the end is not yet! The fif-
teenth edition of the encyclopedia
originally published in 1853 must
be, in effect, a complete revision.
Thousands of articles necessarily will
be rewritten. Biographies like those
of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, on
the one hand, and Roosevelt,
Churchill, Stain and Chang Kali
shek. on the other. must be done
again in the light of recent events.

Editors note-This space in the
editorial page of The Sunday Star
1Das filled by the Right Reu James E.
Freeman, Bishop of Washington, from
July IL, 1925, until his death a week
ago today. 1t is occupied for the mo-
ment by one 1Uho kne1D him UeU and
1Dho is qualified to pay homage to him
as a religious leader, a citizen and
man.
AS chairman of the Committee on Re-
llglous Life in the Nations Capital am
nonored to be asked to pay tribute to
the memory of the third Bishop of WASH
ington. 1t may sound strange to begin
such a tribute with word about Bishop
Freeman from the standpoint of his
physical presence. However, all who
knew him were impressed by his per-
sonality. Wherever Bishop Freeman
was, whether in a large gathering or in
an intimate group. all felt that here was
one OF wide vision, broad experience and
tremendous energy. He gave men not
only strength and confidence, but the
conviction that the forces of good could
contend for and win resounding victories.
He was well groomed without and within
and his outward bearing was of the lead
er OF men In the affairs of the spirit
amid the complexities of the temporal
scene.
II, as some one has said, "a teacher is
one who filings down a bunch of keys"
the Bishop of Washington was ever do
ing that. They were not keys which
opened cubbyholes, but keys which
opened gates through which men could
move out. He sought to unlock the gates
OF church unity, religious cooperation
and noble united effort for the Kingdoms S
sake.
AS preacher, Bishop Freeman in
splred men by convincing them through
MS own sincerity. He was every inch
man and made his impact through words
which were reinforced by the character
behind them. The great Phillips Brooks
once said he had hundreds of skrmons
but only one theme. Likewise through
all the messages of Bishop Freeman ran
the theme of the imperishable riches"
TO be gathered by all who dearly loved
the Lord and did His will. His pas
slonate longing for spiritual solidarity
among men rested upon fervent desire
to see men together enjoy the rewards
of wise, useful and noble living.
Bishop Freeman had a profound in
Huence upon his time. AS an organizer,
counselor and administrator, he long will

politics, industry, sociology, interna-
tional law, even religion and philoso-

But Mr.. Yust and his colleagues
have the patience and the skill for
such a work as theirs will be. When
they ask the assistance of the general
public, it surely is bound to be
granted generously and promptly.

From the Topeka Capital.
Reports by Forest Service officials that
the Japs have made three isolated at
tacks on the West Coast of the United
states-two by planes supposedly op-
Grating from submarines and the third

may prove to be erroneous. But true or
false, the fact remains that this country
may expect token raids from time to time.
Fortunately, the reported coastal at
tacks did no damage. Yet military ex-
perts realize that air raids against New
York, Washington and Western Coast
cities are entirely possible. This is one
reason why the civilian defense pro-
gram is being maintained as an auxiliary
service to work with military personnel.

World BLUEPRINT

Former Governor Harold E. Stas-
sen of Minnesota, writing in the
New York Times, offers blueprint
for world government" which is
worthy of study even by those who
approach the subject with admitted
prejudice against schemes for
climbing into heaven on a STEP
ladder"
The people of America" Mr.. Stas-
sen argues, know that the airplane,
the radio, mass production and other
scientific inventions have changed
the world. There is rising
tide of public opinion which
says that scientific developments
have made America a part of
closely knit world with new duties,
new sponsibilities and new oppor-
tunities. y We need a new and
higher level of government to serve
mankind. It should not take the
place of national government. 1t
should have very limited powers
specifically delegated to it with all
other powers reserved to the indi-
vidual nations (which) !" should
continue to maintain their own con-
stitutions, their own traditions, their
own citizens, their own flags"
Mr.. Stassen considers his new
world government already pretty
we'll established in the existing asso-
citation Of the United Nations fight
ing Germany, Italy and Japan. "The
beginning of such government" he
declares, "can arise out of the joint
actions that are required now in the
conduct of the war. Out of Joint
action on food, on temporary admin
istration of liberated areas and later
OF Axis territories, on military opera
tions, on transport and ferry COM
mands and production commissions
gradually specific mechanisms for
joint action can develop. Over
period of years definite governmental
machinery can evolve for managing
those problems of tomorrow's world
which cannot be handled by any one
nation or small group of nations,
however powerful they are"
A parliament, Mr.. Stassen then ex-
plains, should be "the basic body of
government" for the world. 1t would
elect chairman who in turn would
choose seven members to sit on an
executive council responsible and
accountable to the legislative
branch" The administration thus
organized would control the Axis ma
tions and the liberated nations, dis
arming the former and furnishing
their criminal leaders,; govern in
ternational airways and airports;
manage "the gateways to the Seven
Seas; endeavor to increase trade
between the peoples; increase pop
ular literacy and health; establish
world code of justice, and create "a
United Nations Legion consisting of
units of air, naval and mechanical
land forces made up of citizens of
the United Nations"
Mr.. Stassen does not insist that a
perfect system of universal authority
should "spring forth full blown" He
comedies that there are many
obstacles and difficulties" What he
especially appeals for is a practical
ldeallsm equal to humanity's need.
I'VE have developed a worldwide
vision to win this war;" he submits.
I'VE must keep our sights equally
high to win the peace" 1t is not
imperative that every reader should
agree completely with the proposed
blueprint" in order to appreciate its
objective.

Wuqes and Subsidies

In approving the payment of sub
sides, estimated to total $5OO0,0OO,
to vegetable packers SO they can
meet prospective wage increases,
Fred M Vinson, the new director of
economic stabilization. acted within
the framework of policy which had
been laid down before he took Office.
But the policy is one which properly
has given rise to misgivings.
The subsidy in this instance is the
result of a directive from James F.
Ryrnes, Mr.. Wilson'S predecessor in
the stabilization post, calling upon
the War Labor Board to grant wage
increases in excess of the little steel
formula to workers in the canning
industry. The reasoning behind this
move was plausible, as far as it went.
Workers had been leaving the can
ming industry for war plants and.
other employment. Canning work is
seasonal, however, and crops must
be handled quickly. Hence, in order
to avoid spoilage, Mr.. Byrnes de-
cided to authorize a pay increase to
hold the workers in the industry,
and the subsidy is being approved to
enable the employers to bear the
higher costs without raising prices
to the consumers.
If such policy we're applied ju-
diciously, and only in exceptional
cases, it would be difficult to raise
any valid objection to it. But the
grounds for apprehension lie in the
fact that the use of subsidies to Off
set pay increases gives to we'll
organized labor groups strong in
centive to demand more and more
pay, and the Government agencies
dealing with this problem have not
shown any notable flrmness in resist
ing such demands from pressure
groups.
The case of John L. Lewis and the
coal miners is in point. BY resortlng
to strikes and similar tactics, Mr.
Lewis has been able to make con-
siderable headWay in enforcing his
demands for higher pay for the
miners. He has not yet received a
large pay increase, but the chances
are that he will exact very substan-
tial concessions-all in excess of the
little steel formula. And in this
event the Government will have to
do one of two things-authorize an
increase in the price of coal to offset
the higher producing costs or accom-
plish the same purpose by paying a
subsidy to the mine operators.
In either event, the pressure from
other disconnected labor groups will
reach dangerous proportions. And If
by that time the precedent for the
use Of subsidies to grant wage in
creases without raising prices has
become we'll established, the Govern
ment is going to find it extremely
difficult to refuse these other de-
mands. In any given instance the
Government, faced with a strike in
vital industry or some other form
of pressure, might easily turn to the
subsidy device as the best way out
of a bad situation. But such a policy
inevitably would get out of hand
and the effort to stabilize our ma
tional economy would collapse, This
is situation in which the easy way
out" can also prove to be the easiest
and quickest road to ruin

A Meeting of Lithuanian
American Citizens

On Sunday, May 81 a meeting OF
Lithuanian American citizens was
held at the headquarters of the
leader of the 14th Ward, John R.
X. Scott, 862 N. 18th Street, under
the auspices, of the Lithuanian Ann
erican Republican, League of Phila-
delphia. The chairman of this or
ganizatioh is Peter j., 1Statinsky,
and Frank Pukas is the secretary.
The meeting was called to order
by chairman Peter j. Statinsky who
explained the high purposes of the
new organization. He was listen
ed to with interest sand his plans
were heartily endorsed by those.
present at the meeting.
A word about the chairman. He.
is the son of respected Lithuanians,
talented, energetic, and a graduate
in chemistry. For the past several
years he has been with the research
department ON the Atlantic Re-.
filming Co. His leisure evenings.
are spent in the duties of Zone
Warden and his office is model,
in the instruction of what to do inj
case Of enemy air raid, bombs,'
fire, etc.
The chairman explained that the
new, organization has the support
of such highly placed men as Wm.s
R. Douglas, Of the New SAmericanl
Division Republic State Committee:
ard Davis Harris, State Secretary
of Revenue, Chairman of the Phiia-
delphia Republican City Committee,
Many Of the noted personalities:
present then expressed their views.
and plans to build up this new and.
useful organization. All expressed
their willingness to work for in
creasing it's membership. The next:
meeting will be held at the same.
place on June g.. :
THE AIM OF THE LEAGUE
The Lithuanian American Repub-
lican League of Philadelphia was
organized for the benefit of the
Iithuanians of this city. There are
thousands of Lithuanian, Americans,
many of whom are home owners,
and hundreds of them are business
men. All have many and varied,
sometimes complicated dealing
with the City Administration which
is strongly Republican, therefore it
stands to reason that the League
will be of inestimable assistance to
the Lithuanians of this city. I
In the near future record will
be compiled of what has been as
complished for the Lithuanians thus
far. But it may be stated that it
is in the interest of all Philadelphia
Lithuanians to join the new orga-
nization, take interest in it's, work,
and grow strong with it. 1t is a
kn0wn fact that Lithuanians are
old time residents here and will he
residents for long time to come.
They are industrious, thrifty, al
ways pay their taxes, and are self
supporting. T. f''A
In organization there is strength
therefore, let us Lithuanians stand
united. Let us buy War Bonds and
register them to the credit; of Lith-
uanians. Frank Pukas.

THE PERISCOPE
By sARUNAS.

THE PROBLEM of the Baltic
States is only one Of the things
which give the American thinking
public ''a mild case of jitters", as
the special New York correspondent
of the Montreal Star puts it. He
says the average American "is be-
ginning to realize that the beauti-
full world envisioned in the pro-
nouncements of Mr.. Churchill and
Mr.. Roosevelt is destined for long,
difficult pull before it can become
an actuality'. Every effort so far
put forth in motion to plan for
postwar conditions has met trouble
and controversy. If the prelimina.
ry ground-hreaking has turned up
so much confusion, what is going
to happen, the average American
argues, when it is time really tc
get down to cases? We saw the
controversy about Russia's Western
border, about the future of al,

HOWEVER, Prof. Shotwell warns
us against slogan thinking" with
which the Nazi and Communist
propaganda is always striving to
poison the democratic peoples. In
his report to the Carnegie Endow.

says: "The sudden awakening of
public interest in postwar problems
is not in itself guarantee of the
continuing support for sound poll
cies in changing world. Prof.
Shotwell is director Of the Division
of Economics and History for the
Carnegie Endowment and warns us
against two trends: -
"On the one hand there is the
traditional and dangerous tendency
to attemps to get rid of fundamen-
tai difficulties by the acceptance
of easy slogans based upon super.
ficial thinking and an Inadequate
knowledge of facts. On the other
hand, the recognition of the COM

lead to more and more confusion.

nations concerned.
One Of the main reasons the Lith-
uanians are fighting against being
incorporated in the bigger political
and economic unit of Soviet Russia
is that the domestic life of the
Soviet Union is entirely repugnant
to the customs and thoughts of the
Lithuanian people.

present moment will be represented
