Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I have alway
been the type of mother who gav'
generously to her children, but ex
pected nothing in return. I onl,
wished them to be happy and hav'
their love. My son is 80, married
and has one child. He is a gooe
businessman and has large in
come, so 1t is natural that I shoule
turn to him for help and service.
Recently my income has been sho
10 pieces and I have had to ask fol
some help from him to tide mt
over, but always with the assurance
that he would be paid back. HI
does not have to support me ane
l hope never will, but I am too ole
to get job. I have not been vel
and must have assistance from some
one. Is it asking too much OF him
to help me in time of need, OF
should I turn to an outsider?
The situation has made strained
feeling between us. He treats me as
though I were a client and I miss
the human interest in me he once
had. What should do?
MOTHER.
Answer: Surely you must mis-
fudge your son, for it is hard tc
conceive OF a man who Is so hard
hearted and callous that he be-
grudges even lending his mother a
few dollars when he is rich and
prosperous and she is pressed for
money. Any man of even ordinary
decent, natural feelings would con-
slider it a privilege to be able to help
her and thus pay small part of
the debt of gratitude he owed her.
However. when mothers weep upon
my shoulder and tell me of how dis
respectful and even abusive their
children are to them; of how their
children neglect them and show
them no appreciation or affection, I
do not feel like mingling my tears
with theirs. want to tell them that
they are just reaping as they have
sown and that they are to blame far
more than the children are.
For mother writes her own price
tag with her children and they treat
her just exactly the way she has
taught them to treat her. If she has
put herself upon a pedestal, as long
as they live they will bow down
before her and do her reverence. But
If she has made herself nothing but
doormat for them, they will kick
her about and have a contempt for
her.
And it is perfectly logical. Babies
have no high ethical standards.
They are little savages who have to
be taught the amenities of life. They
only give what is demanded of them
If their mothers ask no return for
all they do for them, they feel that
they have no duties nor obligations
to them.
The child who is never permitted
to talk back to mother when it is
little doesn't insult her when he is
grown. The child who has been
taught from his infancy up to help
mother with her chores, to save his

No decision has been made as to the
specific embassies to which the eX
pertS on international economic and
production problems may be assigned
but the idea recently received an i'm
petus by the appointment of Otis T..
Mulliken as assistant adviser on inter
national economic affairs.
Mr.. AIulliker is now working under
the direction Of DR.. Herbert Feis, ad-
wiser on international economic affairs
at the State Department. He is an
economist and was associated with the
Department of Agriculture from 1880
to February, 1943, part of the time
as chief of the labor section Of the
Sugar Division and also as chief Of
the Farm Labor Division.
Mr. Mulliken is graduate of Har-
ward University and taught for several
years at the University of California
at Los Angeles.
In labor circles the idea of designat-
ing labor attaches to American EN-
bassies abroad, particularly in South
America, has been discussed for sev-
eral years. 1t has also been taken up
at meetings of the international Labor
Office.

Roosevelt has been deeply interested
in National Music Week since he first
became associated with it 10 years
ago. He has encouraged participation
in the annual observance, not only
among musical groups but also among,
others which use music as an aid in
their general program and in their
work for the community. In his letter
this year the President expresses his
interest in the broadening of the OBJ

The Ship Of S+o+e
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Many centuries ago a Chinese phil
osOpher wrote of government: "The
king is the boat: the common people
are the water. The water can support
the boat, or capsiZe it,"
What was said then of ancient China
is true today of our modern democracy.
Our government requires the support
of all the people-or it sinks. Coy
ernment' does not mean particular
leaders-but it does mean the republic
form of rule and the democratic way
of life.
We elected our own leaders after
free and open discussion. We, through
them, have made our own laws. We.
through them, have delegated certain
powers to our Chief Executive. Now
it is up to us to support the boat OF
our own building-tO abide willingly
and cheerfully by the laws we had a
part in making, and to carry our full
share of the load.
Organized Labor alone is not the
common people. But Organized Labor
plus the farmers, plus the bankers, the
lawyers, the doctors, the preachers,
the common people.
The party in power, those who hold
public office. are not alone the king or
the boat. They are but a part of the
whole and they sail or sink as they
are supported by the people.
| ;., ;x-il In,
country-nO one who has a right to
shirk his duty of citizenship. Neither
worker nor employer is beyond it.
Neither rich nor poor can avoid its
tasks. Neither youth nor age deserves
special consideration. Neither Black
nor White can shrink from it's com
mandS. Protestant, Catholic and Jew
are alike bound by the call of duty.
We are entering upon a period Of
even greater strain than that of the
past two years. How we come through
it will depend upon ourselves. There
must be no tidal wave of demands by
any one group to swamp our Ship of
State. There must be no eddying whirl-
pool of internal conflict to suck il
down into the depths of the Sea. There
must be no hidden SandbarS of resist
ance on which it might founder
We have seen what has happened
when the ships of other countries have
disintegrated We must support thi
boat of our way of life for, if it cap
sizes, the argosy of the hopes and
dreams of common people the worlt!
over will go down with it.

Lund Backs Drive
For Forced Labor
Commission Head Max es
Amazing Argument Be-
fore Committee

Washington, -. C.-Admral Emory
S. Land, chairman of the Maritime
Commission, who seldom overlooks II
chance to knife labor, this week joined
with other brass hats in demanding
enactment Of forced labor legislation.
Land went before the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee and urged
passage Of the -Wadsworth
BILL" under which every worker could
be compelled to take whatever job he
is assigned to, regardless of wages or
working conditions.
The admiral, who once advocated
firing squads for union organizers,
made a most amazing argument to
justify the bill. He cOntended there
is no difference" between sending an
American into the armed forces TO
fight for his country and sending the
brother of that American into a fac
tory or on farm to increase the
profits of a private boss.
Typical Brass Hat" View
That's the view taken by other
'brass hats who testified for the bill.
It's the position also of the nations
most reactionary manufacturers. All
branches of organized labor and most
enlightened employers are, however,
solidly against the measure.
Undoubtedly Lands recent contirma-
ton by the Senate for reappointment
to the job of commission chairman
was due to the fact that during his
long years in Office he has been able to
serve big Business" Some Senators
wanted to hold up confirmation long
enough to investigate questionable
financial transactions between the com
mission and shipping interests, but
Tories came to Lands rescue and pu.
him through.
