Political Breezes

This is only one item in the long
and fortnight document which has
had considerable publicity. Perhaps
1t might have been neglected if it
had not been blown into the public's
face by the political breezes stirred
up by Mr.. Vandenberg. Perhaps Mr..
Vandenberg might not have gen.
Grated those breezes if Mr.. Baruch
had not been pretty critical of gov
eminent agencies that competed for
power; perhaps Mr.. Baruch would
not have been so frank il he had
not thought that as he requested.
the report was not for publication.
Mr.. Byrnes. when he sent the doc
ument to Dear Van" at the latter $
insistence, said that it was not in
tended for other than private use
but that it was "a splendid argu-
ment in favor Of action taken by the
War Mobilization committee" Gin re-
gard to the labor situation on the
West COAST and he requested that it
be placed in the Congressional Rec
ord, which it was.
And so there it was for all to see
with Mr. Baruch, presumably still
the best of democratic pals but also
the severest Of critics, lambasting
jealous government agencies and
calling manufacturers manufacture
ers" and not productive establish
ments" and apoogizing for nobody,
business men o. bureaucrats.
Thus the political breezes blow,
sometimes in one direction, some
times in another though, Of course,
in election years the outs" usually
blow the loudest They are the
prosecuting attorney, and the Tins"
are the defense
However, there is this satisfaction,
blow where it Will, it is an i'll wind
that blows nobody good.

VIII | overcome this mistake
Please give me advice, | am a
reader of your column.
Ans: Your daughter made her
own choice and she doesn't feel
that she made a bad bargain. It's
true that you gave her your con-
sent, but had you discouraged
the match, she probably would
have married him anyway. Par.
ents can help their children by
deciding important issues in their
children's llves--but when 1t
comes to choosing a husband or
wife, it's up to the boy or girl
to make his or her own decisions.
To interfere with your daugh-
ter's marriage would be a mis-.
take.

both that you did as you already
are doubling your love for the

who in reality is still stranger

Situation Is Serious

And yet the manpower situation is

rector Byrnes. Indeed, that is why
he called on his friend, Bernard
Barueh, the unofficial elder states
man OF the administration, to advise
him. Baruch advised him all right,
not wisely perhaps, from political
standpoint, and too we'll for the SEN
sltlve olfactory nerve of Republican
Senator Vandenberg tWho used to
be newspaper man HIMSELF. The
willy Michigander scented a rodent.
Had he not, you might never have
heard Baruch's words of wisdom.
Among other things. Mr.. Baruch
commented on boarding labor. had
heard Of that subject in indignant
letters from the wives of workers
who wrote that their husbands were
paid to loaf, And Senator Wheeler,
made similar charges and recalled
that Senator Truman and his
doughty investigators had found
lot Of boarding Of labor with Gas
Wheeler put iD employees falling
over each other" and being paid
for on the cost-plus basis.
Testimony before congress had in
sisted that there we're no cost-plus
contracts under which labor hoard
ing would be profitable.
That was when Vandenberg arose
and waved the Baruch report which
he had demanded and finally re-
ceived from Mr. Byrnes.
Mr. Vandenherg read Mr.. Ba-
ruch's words on the subject Of cost
plus:
The government pays all the
costs. whatever they are. Since the
government is footing the bill, there
is no incentive for the manufacture
ers to economic in the use Of ma
terial, facilities or labor. More
workers are red than needed.
Workers stand idle---it costs the
manufactures nothing. Much labor
is wasted"

President's Views

There was no doubt what the Presi-
dent thought when he talked about
men with children who were doing
no useful thing and who might, if
they wished immunity from military
Service, easily get into a war indus
try. They. one opponent of the
wheeler bill said. were told that they
had no responsibility in the war eff
fort. at home or at the front.
OF course, this argument would
not hold If the National Service act,

passed. The army wants it, Sena-
tor Austin and Representative Wads-
worth who introduced it, and their
followers want 1.-THE White House
