Such conditions come about grad
ually but at adulthood we have a
man with whom no one else is
able to live happily.
Bobby's mother is careful to see
that her child's early environment
is what 1t should be. She wants
Bobby to grow up with good set
of nerves, with healthy emotional
reactions, with a consciousness
that the finest thing anyone can
learn is unselfishness.
However much a child upsets or
grieves us. 1t is better not to let
him see it. The world doesn't react
that way; if displeased. the world
turns its back and walks away. A
child, of course. needs our love
and understanding but it must
never learn to expect to occupy the
center of the stage. Respect and
tolerance for the opinions, likes
and dislikes of others must be
learned. If it is. the small child
will grow into a mature person
who stands on his own feet, ready
and adequate to meet life and its
problems.

FOOD FOR A HUNGRY WORLD

The food conference held by the
United Nations at Hot Springs,
Virginia, was called a complete
SUCCESS by President Roosevelt.
The conference agreed that the
world has never yet produced
enough proper food for all its peo-
pie but it expressed confidence that
full production needs could be met
through the simple process of bet
ter use of the land that God left
for human beings to work and cul-
tivate. The conference went "a
dreaming over theories about eX-
ploitation, political aggrandise-
ment, tariff walls, international
currency-and other things that
the United States eventually would
have to pay for.
Herbert Hoover was a success
full administrator of food in World
War /. but the wise men of this
Administration never ask him for
good advice. Mr. Hoover spoke at
a meeting of the American Farm
Bureau Federation this week and
he said it was up to the National
Administration to make drastic
changes" in order to clear up this
muddle of uncontrolled food prices,
local famines. profiteering, black
markets and stifled farm produc-
ton"
Washington has been entertain
ing doubts about the success of the
double-headed Administration of
the Agricultural Department. op-
Grated by Mr.. Wickard as Cabinet
Secretary. and Chester c. Davis as
Food Administrator The former
President apparently approves put
ting the two jobs under one head,
and he selects Davis to replace
Wickard. A lot of people will dis
agree with that choice. 1t seems to
be the only point on which Roose-
welt and Hoover agree. Wickard is
first-class farmer and he knows
his potatoes. grains, cottons and
soy beans. He may be a little slow
on learning political tricks but he
has plenty of what might be called
farm and horse sense. He is nei
ther a New Dealer nor a Republi-
can and maybe that counts against
him.
The whole question seems to Gre
ate a division over whether the
United States will agree with the
Hot Springs Internationalists and
the President of the United States
who wants to make a sort of Will
kie "Ond World" job out of feeding
the hungry world or, doing the job
single-handed the way Hoover did
when he was Food Administrator
for the United States. A few months
ago Herbert Lehman resigned as
Governor of New York State to
take this same important job. He
hasn't been prominent in the pic
ture the last three or four months.

THREE LEADERS WITH A
SINGLE THOUGHT

A peculiar thing about the
strikes that have annoyed the gen.
eral public before. and since the
beginning of the war, is that prac-
tically all strikes have been au-
thorized, and also settled by orders
from Washington. The million
mine workers have not been near
ly am important in the news re-
ports of their strikes as Leader
John l.. Lewis. who has carried out
his plan in resisting the Admins
tration. A year ago Mr.. Lewis
went to the White House and had
a talk with President Roosevelt;
the President appointed a board
of mediatOrs who promptly settled
the coal mine dispute over wages
satisfactory to Mr.. Lewis. This
year Lewis is, so far as the White
House is concerned. ION the out
side looking in" But in the same
section of Washington, through a
six-man committee, the A. F. of L.
and the c. l. o. and the railway
unions have personal access to the
President. They keep the President
informed about the aspirations of
their members.
Leaders Green of A. F. of L. and
Murray of c. l. o. are putting
pressure on demands for higher
wages for the same reason announ-
ced by Lewis-because of the in
creased costs of living. The War
Labor Board members say they
have orders to hold the line"
against such demands. That eX-
planned why A. F. of L. and c. l.
o. have lodged the straight issue
and asked for a $2.000.000,000 sub
sidy plan under which the taxpay-
ers money would be used to roll
back prices" to the level of May
1912. Lewis ION the outside look
ing in" is in a different spot, and
he has insisted that the owners of
the mines should hold the line"
instead of the taxpayers. The three
big leaders. with a single thought.
want the same thing.
The Smith-COnnally bill went
through the House and Senate, with
that called for a con-
ference committee. In view of the
fact that there was substantial ap-
proval of this measure in both
there is every reason to
expect that before long there will
be new and more reasonable labor
laws in the public interest.
