Nobody knows very much
and no one has a right to an
opinion about something of
which he knows little. The
average person knows he has
no right to an opinion about
television, yet he thinks ii
right TO have the most positive,
even violent opinions about
international affairs, the world
court, initiation taxes, de-
linquency, crime, divorce, mar
riage and hosts of other prob

"Do not patroniLe them

I HAVE no comment on the

MRS. ROOSEVELT disclosed
A'l the other day that she had
had a most interesting chat
with Mrs. Cornelia st. George,
a Hungarian woman. In the
course of this enchanting tete-a-
tete Mrs. ST. George advanced
the idea that better understand
ing could be promoted among
nations by revising the history
books.
There's n wonderful sugges-
ton for you-rewrite history!
The possibilities are limitless.
We could promote better under
standing with Britain by rewrit-
ing the revolution and making

Japan and Germany by saying
the whole thing was all in fun

DEAR J. M:
YOUR mother is applying a
Il severe discipline, yes; but
considering the serious nature
of the offense, l believe il is
absolutely just and entirely de-
served.
II neither of you has enough
sense 10 realize the disreputable
implications of staying out all
night, and the awful strain and
fear you carelessly required
your mother to endure then all
the more reason for putting an
end 10 the association.
Parents are legally account
able for the conduct of minor
age children: and where young
sters are given a loose rein and
get into trouble. society holds
the parents to blame.
Until now. your mother has
been a lenient guardian.
In permitting you. at your
age. TO go night prowling I'M
chaperoned with boys, she was
giving you the benefit Of a very
generous vote of confidence in
your supposedly prudent judg-
ment.
Having proved yourself I'M
worthy Of that trust-foolishly

no choice but TO take you
strongly in hand and teach you

ment 10 youS staying out with

feet of the law imposed on the
American people by the opinion
of Justice Jimmy Brynes. writ
ing for the majority of the
Roosevelt Supreme Court, in the
notorious teamsters' case.
Having awarded to the gang
sters of unionism a legal right
to extort money by beating up
law-abiding citizens, without
even a pretense of willingness
TO work for the money Justice
Brynes retired into the role OF
assistant president"
ITO DO this he gave up the
Il security and prestige. such
as it is nowadays, of place on
the highest court in the land TO
become a political trouble
shooter.
Then. in Chicago. after he had
been given reason to believe
that Roosevelt would support
him for the vice presidential
nomination, he was rejected by
Sidney Hillman and the Com
munists of the CLOS political
action.
He had come through for
RooSevelt's underworld political
subsidiary in an appallingly Gym
ical and leering dictum whose
primary beneficiaries were
members of the following of the
Presidents friend, Dan Tobin OF
the Transfers Union.
But when the time came for
Roosevelt to stand by him and
assure him the chance of such
political future as the nominal
ton would have offered, he was
deserted by the man he had
served so faithfully and at such
great sacrifice.
Did / overstate the perfidy
of the Byrnes opinion?
Chief Justice Stone went
even further, in his dissent.

VHOSE who are watching over
the dogs of men who are at
the fighting front have a great
responsibility.
In all the dreams of home a
soldier has, his dog plays a ma
Jor part.
Even if he has a wife and a
couple of children when he
dreams OF them rushing TO the
gate to meet him he also visions
his dog coming joyfully bound
ing out.
This thought is inspired by
the case of Sgt. Michael Ryan
OF Brooklyn, one of the heroes
of the Philippine invasion.
In the midst of the triumph
Of being decorated, the sergeant
received word from home his
dog had been lost.
Said the hero sadly:
"SOme OF my fondest men,
cries in these jungles have been
of that little dog. I have been
looking forward to seeing him

DURCEE. The most potent morale
inspirer on the production front is
the Army Navy E. You probably
have seen it flying over one of 2,865
factories, noticed it on somebody's
lapel. The man responsible is retir-
ing, unpublicized Captain Lewis L.
Strauss, USNR.
Strauss originated the E plan to
stimulate production in June, l94l.
The next month, the Navy awarded
its first E. Those first awards did big
things: Capital and labor began for
getting selfish interests; war produc-
ton graphs began to rise. The Army
made the E unanimous year later,
and the services began issuing their

the open end.

cause a symbol doesn't spur you on
unless someone else already has it.
It's the good old Sunday school gold
star principle" Strauss, 48 years old,
used to receive gold stars in Sunday
school in Richmond, Va. An Army
veteran of the First World War. he
left his banking firm to join the Navy
at the outbreak Of World War II.
FIRE! Originally the Navy E was
awarded for excellence in gunnery,
Captain Strauss recalls that U.S.S,
Missouri gun crew won the first award
in a hotly-contested target practice
in 1906. with the then incredible
score of l8 direct hits in l8 shots -
incredible because battleship firing
had been slipshod and inaccurate.
Today, IL Criteria are used by
Army and Navy boards to slft out
E-award nominations: quantity and
quality of production. avoidance OF
labor troubles, conservation of ma
terials, etc. 1t is no indiscriminate
award - only three per cent of Amer
ica's war plants have received the
coveted burgee. And if they slow
up, it's taken away.
Does E stand for excellence? Cap
tain Strauss says the armed services
have never definitely defined the let
ter. 1T simply means you're the

Our boys have plenty of
courage and daring. But
they need more than that

ANE of the privileges most civilians en-
~ JOY these days is that of giving lift
to the men in uniform. Along any of the
highways crisscrossing our wide land you'll
find young America waiting, looking hope
fully toward you. You're as proud to slow
down and pick him up as he is grateful to
climb aboard
It's little enough for civilian to do -
helping fighting mans tired or eager
young body few miles on his way. But
it's far more important to give his spirit
lift, whether he's your boy, or the fellow
down the street, or the host of boys you
may not know at all, yet who look to the
people at home to back them up with
brave moral purpose equal to their own
courage.
SUCH moral support is the one kind of
heroism that civilian America can show.
And our men in the ranks, the tanks, the
planes, the ships the subs, are depending
desperately upon US to show it. For they
know that without it even victory would
be empty
Sheer physical courage is one of the
grandest - and most common - sights in
the world today. We are flooded daily, by
the press and the radio and the screen,
with tales of heroism that thrill us to the
soul And it seems to US that God must
surely bless the arms of men 50 brave.
But the enemy, too, is strong in this
kind of courage. Those who fight him
know this best My morning paper, report
ing today an Allied attack on Japanese
airfeld, tells me that ito meet our two
hundred bombers, the enemy's twenty
planes rose bravely in defense" No one
would deny the courage of those twenty
flyers of Nippon. Or their evil purpose.
Courage, sheer, glittering daring is not
in itself moral quality. Animals have it;
our barbarous enemies have it. 1t is only
high purpose that makes courage true
virtue. The other day stood in the street
while fight of dive bombers swept over
the city, low enough to have machine

gunned all of US in the crowd. As their ter
rible thunder passed over us. my heart
leaped up because the dreadful power IN
the hands of those young flyers would be
used to set men free.
Our forces are strong in courage toT me
right. But the demands upon it are fierce
and increasing We at home must help to
meet those demands. The men at the
fronts have their hands full fighting this
war; it is up to the civilian to sustain in
our nation the high purpose that makes
American courage so noble
.DUsr as we depend for our very safety on
the daring of our men at arms so do they
look to US to show ourselves fearless and
true. They scan the reports from the home
front as anxlously as we the battle news.
Sometimes they read or hear about us
with bitter Encouragement. A bomber
pilot writes me from the Central Pacific:
when do my job Of blasting the Japs,
have only the feeling had when killed
rattlesnakes on the desert; find no sign
of organized hate in any Of our men, We
come closer to hating those at home who
break faith with US at the fronts - the
profiteers those who blcker over our rights,
the shirkers the Black Marketeers He
might better have called all these ''the
cowards" For they are those who lack
the better part of courage - its moral
purpose.
That is the part which it is ours to fulfill
And We must not only keep faith with the
fighters, but hare faith for them.
/ HEY have war to win; it is for US to
prove to them that all their sacrifices are
worth while It's civilians Job to make
democracy work. To keep this country
worth dying for. To strive not only for vic
tory but for peace that can be estab-
llshed and secured so that men and nations
may inhabit the earth with decency to-
gether
In the midst of the stress and horror of
war, it's hard to foresee peace like that,
much less plan for it. Yet it's harder still
to face death without hope of it. 1t is for
us, the men and women working and
thinking in the safe ease of home, to give
them that hope, to work on such plans, to
encourage our fighting forces in far-off
lands in their faith in America.
