Goodwin Speaks
At ZOnta Club
Luncheon
Radio Commentator
Predicts End Of
'Selfshness' Era
BY Gretchen Smith.

The prediction that the world is
at the tag-end of warfare and
selflshness" and that better era is
ahead for mankind in the next 1000
years. was voiced by Earl Goodwin,
neWspaperman and radio COM
mentator. before members of the
Washington zonta CLUB yesterday.
Speaking at the luncheon meet
ing of the club at the YWCA, Mr..
Goodwin eXtemporized briefly on cur
rent events and their significance
Many of the governments in
Europe have been guided by pure
selflshness for the past 1000 years"
he said. Il think that the whole
political structure of Europe will be
pulled up like an old carpet
Ideals in government still persist
among the people of the United
States, the speaker declared.
I'VE are told that the Declaration
of Independence. the Bill of Rights
and the Constitution were divincly
inSpired,' he said. Il believe we
still have the impact of that divine
inspiration This country and the
countries of South America are the
last stand of freedom for the human
race. 1t appears as though Divinity
were sitting the wheat from the
chaff in this war and to be shaping
the human race for the next age of
man-not just 10 years or 100, but
finishing"
Mr.. Goodwin expressed the opinion
that certain changes attempted in
the Government in recent years
were mistake
In this country we still have the
divine touch in an inspired form of
Government" he said. Therefore
it isn't right to change it. Govern
ment is like the human body. When
all its parts are healthy it functions
we'll. At present, we find the execu-
tive part of the Government over
stimulated while other glands have
atrophied. Our people have been
so lazy and we'll cared for that they
haven't been thinking.
In this country, we're in a dust
storm with every one out. in front
yelling. It's good sign in democ-
racy when every one is yelling"
Questions answered by the speak
er at the conclusion of his talk in
cluded inquiries about Mr.. God
wins personal pets" Fluerette and
PeriWinkle, often mentioned in his
broadcasts.
Mr. Goodwin said that letters re-
ceived from his radio audience re-
vealed far greater interest in the
"homely things" of everyday life
than in the more serious subjects of
political issues or world events. A
news item concerning a SOW in a
Middle Western State that had a
litter of % pigs brought over 1913
letters of inquiry.
People are interested in the
homely things-in sugar, coffee, salt
and-pigs," he added, smiling.
Mr.. Goodwin was introduced by
Miss Lenore Logan, the program
chairman. Mrs. Helen Steinbarger,
the president, presided. Guests in
cluded Miss Sally Woodward of
Minneapolis, who is In Washington
on business.

Cancellation Of the mid-adminis-
tration Congress OF the National
League Of American Pen Women
which was to have been held in
June in Cincinnati was announced
by Mrs. Victoria Faber Stevenson,
league president, in the March issue
Of the league bulletin just of the

The session was called of because
the league did not wish to interfere
with any wartime transportation
needs, the president explained.
Members who had looked forward to

by cancelling the convention"
she wrote in part, "our organization
contributes travel facilities which
might have been used by our men,
bers attending the convention to
war-impelled transportation needs
entailing the movement of troops
and supplies of untold proportions
Pen women with husbands, sons or
fathers in the service, who realize
that several thousand box or freight
cars are being converted into passen-
ger cars for servicemen, many of
whom even then lack adequate
transportation facilities, will well
come the opportunity to say to these
servicemen, here are several hun
dred seats which we gladly give to
you, for we'll not hold our conven-
ton this spring
"We had many important matters
to discuss in the convention" she
continued I'VE could have helped
each other to supply the needs which
our writer's. artists and musicians
can supply to this hour. We looked
forward to the fellowship which al
ways brings us closer together be-
cause of our mutual efforts for ad-
vancement of our crafts. We are
all keenly disappointed - Can
ceiling our convention is a cheerful
act, small sacrifice not to be COM
pared with the sacrifices OF our
fighting forces whose blood is shed
to assure the unconditional sur
render of our enemies"
Because Of the cancellation of the
congress, the national treasury will
contribute first prize to each of the
creative groups chairmen for awards
to be made sometime in the early
fall, according to decision made
at the national board meeting this
week.
The board also approved "a appli-
cations for membership.
