steadfast support from the increased Re-
publican strength in congress That should
be particularly true of the presidents ap-
praisal of the meaning of the third free
dom-freedom from want"-which, said
he, the people at home and the people at
the front-men and women are wonder
ing about"
There can be no disagreement with the
presidents declaration that these people
do not want a postwar America which
suffers from under-nourishment or slums
or the dole. They want no get-rich-
quick era of bogus prosperity which viii
end for them in selling apples on a street
corner, as happened after the bursting of
the boom in 1929"
This should have been an easy pill for
the Republican side of congress TO swallow,
for it was nearly identical with a state
ment on the same subject by the new chair
man of national committee.
The president sharply disagreed with
those who hold that it is grave error at
this time to speak of better America
after the war. And on the subject of social
security, the people know where / stand"
he said.
There was conviction in his declaration
that In the next two years the right of
employment and the right of assurance
against life's hazards might loom very
large as task of America.
He expressed the hope that this would
not be regarded as an issue-but rather
as a task for all of us to study sympath-
etically, TO work out with constant re-
gard for the attainment of the objective,
with fairness to all and with injustice TO
none"-words with which even the most
reactionary partisan could not disagree.
Though there have been, and will be,
various interpretations of the thought back
of the words of the presidents message,
it could be that it was a sincere invitation
for help from the increasing Republican
strength in congress to establish the third
freedom as a fact in this country. 1t may
turn out just that way.

. Court Might Backfire

The report that Allied plans for an in
ternational criminal court to try Hitler,
Mussolini, ct al, are "far advanced" is be-
lievable. Names were mentioned, and so
far their owners have not issued a denial.
DIR. Marcel Dedaer, chief justice of the
Belgian courts in Great Britain, is said To
be in charge of the plans. Sheldon Glueck,
professor of criminology in Harvard Law
School. is reported as working in co-opera-
ton with him.
The reason for an international court is
evident. 1t would scarcely fit the Anglo
Saxon idea of justice to have Hitler tried
by a British court for alleged crimes
against Britishers. Conviction would be
certain and a cry would go up from the
German people that the trial had been I'M
fair. But panel of judges from several
nations, preferably from nations which had
no charges to bring. would not be subject
to such an accusation. There are, at the
moment, many countries which are not at
war with the Axis. II they could be in
duced to recognize the proposed court, and
cooperate in running it, the object of
fair trial would be attained-maybe.
So far, no precedent for such court ex-
lists. Hence the necessity for drafting
rules of procedure. Whether this would be
difficult and complicated, or fairly easy,
remains TO be seen. The question occurs,
however, whether, if such an international
court is set up it might not also be used by
the Axis powers if they saw fit to file
charges against Winston Churchill, or
President Roosevelt, or Gen. de Gaulle. or
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek. Why not
The Japs and Germans probably could
think of plenty of charges.

. q ux Opinions
The President Takes the Case Of the Nation TO Congress

In his address to congress Thursday
President Roosevelt added another TO the
great public documents of this country
In his pleasing diction the president gave
a clear but concise review of one of the
most crucial years in the history of the
United States. II avoided the dynamite of
controversial details but presente
straightforwardly the general picture of
what We must face when the war is over.
The chief criticism of the message seems
TO have been that there was nothing in it
for the anti-New Dealers TO criticize.
Senator Robert Taft, after disparagingly
saying the message was mot specific and
presented no new ideas" added: there is
nothing in it that can disagree with. II
was conciliatory, and that ought TO add to
unity and create no dissension."
Like Senator Taft, Senator Burton X.
Wheeler said ii was a speech that mo
one could seriously find fault with . but
he spoke in generalities, and We need some
thing specific"
II Senator Wheeler had read the declar-
alton of principles by Harrison E. Spangler.
new chairman Of the Republican National
committee, he would have found logical
reason Tor the presidents avoidance of
detail. In good deal of generality about
what the Republican policy will be after
the war, he excused the lack of detail by
saying. 1T is not possible TO set down a
sum below the line until column of
figures has been written down for one to
total" That probably was one of the rea-
sons the president avoided details Another
reason undoubtedly was that the presi-
dent did not want to give DIRECTORS to the
New Deal the dynamite that they would
find in a specific program. As Senator
Taft had said. there is no disagreement on
the general principles of unemployment
relief and social security-two positive
New Deal objectives-but ''its on the
matter of the method on which we disa-
gree"
On the whole there is the hope that the
message will bring to the national program

. McNuii's Ticklish Job

More and more we are going to hear
about man-power. The task on which Paul
McNutt is working is as big and as COM
plicated and as saturated with chances
for repercussions as any job created by
this super-war. 1t has the same chances
for trouble as the price control and ration
ing job had for Leon Henderson. And
there is the possibility of the same fate
for McNutt.
Manpower cannot be co-ordinated, shut
fled and effectively utilized on the broad
scale required by our crisis unless every
personal or political consideration is
shelved; unless a courageous, intelligent
overall plan is formulated; unless ade-
quate machinery is provided; unless the
administrator receives the unqualified
support of the President.
Commissioner McNutt, and he alone, can
supply the motive power that is essential.
President Roosevelt, and he alone, can back
Mr.. McNutt when the going gets tough and
the dead cats begin TO fly.

War Aims

Editor The Times: One Of the
things in connection with the war
is the number OF persons who are
asking. What are We fighting
for" and why did we have 10
get into the war anyway
The answer is clear. We are
fighting because John Pershing
and his boys didn't finish the job
in 1918. because we led the world
toward peace. by scrapping our
navy. because we furnished agrees
sor nations with the sinews of
war. because we acted so much
like a sap that we looked like
a pushover, because we tried TO
bluff with a two spot for a hole
card. We are fighting to whale
the Japs and because we have TO
fight to keep from getting licked.
In a fight, the time 10 figure
what 10 do with the other guy. is
when you get him down and he
says uncle.

Of the best plans for relieving our

be to have all stores in the down

close at or . p. m. This would
put store employees on a different
shift in going to and from work.
and ease up on the rush hours
when office and factory workers
are enroute to and from work
l also believe such a plan would
help merchants, for it would pro-
vide for more leisurely shopping
