SEMl-pR0 ACE
MAKES BIG HIT
WITH SENATORS
BY FRANK Eek
APP Features Sports Writer

NEW YORK - When t a ing
about the most travelled bal,player
in the majors this season don't omit
the name of Eddie Boland, Wash
ington's rookie outfielder. For a
left-hander who once was beaned
in Brooklyn, Boland really gets
around
The former star of the crack
New York Department of Santa
ton team is filling in big gap for
the Senators who were forced to
look around for a right fielder
when Roberto Ortiz was ordered
back to Cuba unless he registered
for selective service in this coun-
try.
Though Boland last saw action
in organized ball in 1888 when he
starred for the Buffalo Bisons, hit
ting IA homers and 1923 in 1903
games for the International Leag-
uers, he had been playing about
six games a week i'm the New York
semi-pro ranks until the Senators
scout, Joe Cambria, induced him
to sign with the Mats, preseason
choice to win the American League
flag.
Four Teams A Week
On Thursday nights Boland
would trek to Stamford, Conn, to
play with the Pioneers. Friday
night he'd be in Cedarhurst, N. Y,
and Saturdays he would travel 60
miles out on Long Island to play
with Kings Park. But these three
towns were just a breeze, for Be-
lands big day was on SUNDAY.
He'd play twin bill at Mount
Vernon, ~ Y, and then hop QUO
to Cedarhurst for a Sunday night
game.
1t is estimated that Boland drew
bigger salary than most minor
league stars for his weekly So
journs with these four semi-pro
clubs.
Former Phillie
The Phillies had him in 80 games
in 1885 He hit only 2l3 and sus-
tanned beaning in Brooklyn. The
Astoria, N. Y, outfielder batted
301 and hit 20 home runs in 1886,
playing 10 games for Albany and
124 for Buffalo in the International
League. He fell off to Is homers
and a .242 BA with Buffalo in 81,
but in '38 he enjoyed his good year
with Buffalo after which he re-
turned to New York where he star
red with the semi-pro BushwicKs
and Springfield Greys of the Met
ropolitan Baseball Association.
During his first week with the
Senators, Boland collected eight
hits in 81 trips to the plate for a
$3.50 average in six games. He
drove in one run in each of the
five games in which he started and
accounted for three others. Looks
like the eX-semi-pro is capable
replacement for the 263-hitting
Ortiz. Manager Ossie Bluege is
using him against right-handed pit
cheers with Jake Powell swinging
at the southpaws.

months more. And then, after the
Nazis are at last put down, there will
still be the japanese to defeat-a
task that may not be completed until
1947 or possibly even later than that,
the only thing likely to shorten it
being a revolution in Tokyo or the
fullest possible collaboration among
the Allies, Russia included
In the long-term sense the charac-
ter and development of governments
in such countries as Italy, Greece
and Poland are unquestionably of
prime significance, and perhaps it is
inevitable that sharp words are now
being exchanged internationally over
matters like the Count Sforza Incl
dent. But though many important
political questions cannot be held in
allegiance until the day of victory, we
constantly must remind ourselves
that there is no easy formula for a
swift, all-satisfying solution to the
vast complex of European problems
and that yearx of painful develop
ment-requiring the greatest pa
tience and understanding-probably
will be necessary to restore stability
to- that sick and torn continent.
Meanwhile, the all-important fact
still before us is that the war has yet
to be won, that it takes precedence
over everything else.

innings are simpler than We choose
to see them. Wisdom often consists
OF the ability to put oneself in another
mans shoes. II Churchill had been
born an Italian he would resemble Count
Sforza, not Badoglio or Bonomi Patri-
otto fidelity is the essence of Churchills
nature. He was mot called to preside
over the liquidation of the British EN-
pire." Sensibly spokenl If he threw
the empire to the winds at the behest
OF Allied agitators he would be over
thrown in Britain.
But Count SforZa did not fight Musso-
lini and support the Allies in order to
preside over the liquidation of the Ital-
ian Empire in the interests of other i'm
perialiSms, but to create a new strong
Italy in a Europe in which democracy
is the re-creator, not the executioner of
nations
Count Sforza in Italy behaves like an
Englishman in England. Does that
make him no man of honor" or must
he behave like an Englishman in Italy
which is different?
If democracy and cooperation with
the Allies are anywhere synonymous
Will lllulSIlllf anu tluIlllldtlOC, we WILL
defeat ourselves and democracy in that
place. For every new leader it must be
a personal and national asset and rot
a liability to stand with us. If it is a
national liability we shall base the new
world on treason and uphold it with
quislings-for 10 minutes
Nobody is better able to discern this
out Of his own nature and experience
than Churchill. Nor is Churchill, to
whom We all owe an eternal debt, to be
torn from his eminence by vulgar
chorus, holding him alone responsible
for common failure-the failure to
create united democratic policy, franz
ing concrete programs and backing ener-
getic leadership.
The time to analyZe the composition
of popular European forces and yearn-
ings to make Allies of those forces and
help their dreams come true is overdue.

born and difficult men, because they
alone are worth their salt in crises.

The AII-Importont Fact

In his address in the Senate the
other day, Senator Brooks did not
speak with restraint when he sug-
geSted that American boys are fight
ing and dying to make Europe safe
for British and Russian spheres of
influence. They are not fighting and
dying for that; they are fighting and
dying as Senator Brooks himself
admitted at one point - primarily
because the security of the Nation
demands it.
In view of recent events in Greece
and elsewhere, of course, Senator
Brooks and others have some reason
to be suspicious regarding the ulti-
mate fate of the Atlantic Charter
and the Dumbarton Oaks proposals.
But simply because the charter and
the proposals may seem to be en-
shadoWed at the moment, there is
no justification for loose or undocu-
mented talk about the British and
the Russians and about what we are
basically fighting for Basically, we
are fighting for the elimination of
the Axis military menace-we and
the British and Russians together.
And we need the British and Rus
slams, as much as they need us, to
accomplish that primary aim, and
until we do accomplish it, the pur-
suit of sound peace, though of the
utmost Importance, will remain
secondary.
For after all, it is still the biggest
and most important fact in the
world that we and our Allies have
yet to win the deadliest war in his
tory against enemies who will be
dangerous in the extreme until they
finally go down. It is a far bigger
and far more important fact, from
the standpoint of immediate sur
vival in battle, than the fact that
we and our Allies do not always see
eye to eye on political developments
in Europe.
Right now, in a misery of weather,
against the bitterest resistance,
American, British, Russian and other
Allied armies are suffering casualties
by the thousands and scores of thou
sands in steady but slow and soul
trying advance against Germany.
This phase of the war, the European
phase. may conceivably end with
merciful suddenness. but on the
other hand it may go on for many

Italy, could not consent to diffuse troops
for secondary military objectives, and
denied the request.
But in all likelihood he did approve
the proposition that British forces be
withdrawn from certain sectors in order
to be sent to liberate Greece. The fact
that American troops could not par
ticipate in the Balkans compelled the
British high command to reduce the
scale of the planned invasion. Only u
small force was earmarked for the cam
paign in Greece, where in most cases
the British waited for the evacuation
by the Germans before entering Greek
territory
But while the American high COM
mand refused to associate itself with
the British in military operations in
the Balkans for purely military rea-
sons, there is no question that the
United States Government approved Mr.
Church1lPs plan to land troops in that
area and establish a Greek national
government. A hands off, policy
throughout liberated Europe has been
decided by the American policy trainers.
1t could not be otherwise since Mr.
Roosevelt accepted the principle of
zones OF influence. AS the United States
has no desire to have a zone of it's own
any mixing in the complex political
situation which must necessarily arise
from the establishment of such areas
might lead us to greater troubles than
We have bargained for.
The pressure to which the State
Department is now being subjected
from various interested groups in this
country is not likely to lead to any
positive Intervention. While the ad-
mlnlstration has never officially con-
firmed the existence of an agreement
to divide Europe into Russian and Brit
lsh zones of influence, it is not denied
that 1t has allowed a free hand to the
Moscow and London governments to
reach whatever agreement they thought
best for the establishment of peace on
the continent.

milton of the fundamental humanity
of all races and classes can serenity
be achieved In this turbulent earth.
The variety of education which is
demanded by such philosophy is
the kind that finds fruition in the
friendly season known as Christmas.
A little child, a gracious mother,
devoted Saint Joseph, shepherds
who came in from the fields, kings
who brought riches to a stable door,
angels in host above the town of
Bethlehem, the guiding star which
has been called "the first light of
liberty" these together and the
result is manifestation of the
divine wisdom and charity without
which no schooling, no instruction
is good enough. 1t is thus that men
truly free are educated.

The Light of Education

DR.. Joy Elmer Morgan, editor of
the Journal of the National Educa-
tion Association, writing in the most
recent number Of his paper, declares:
"Only educated men are free" and
the thought thus expressed is one
which should appeal to all of his
contemporaries, of every class and
condition, VINO, however dimly, have
realized that ignorance is a form of
serfdom.
But DR.. Morgan's definition of
educated" must be broader and
more inclusive than it commonly
has been in earlier times. He means,
obviously, that men who wish to
possess and enjoy the privileges of
liberty are obligated to use those
privileges wisely and sympathetically
not stupidity or selfishly. 1t is a
fair inference, surely, that he sees
men who want freedom inevitably
responsive to that conception of
education which has it's source-its
inspiration-in courage, in fortitude,
in patience. in willingness to toll
arduously and with little hope of
personal appreciation.
The liberated world for which
millions of men are fighting is not
apt to be an easy world to live in.
So much work needs to be done that
everybody will be required to help in
the doing of it. There can be no
slackers in peace just as there can
be no slackers in war. And the work
must be vitalized by a great, all
embracing spirit of fellowship. There
never can be any peace worth having
between enemies-between peoples
who hate each other. Only by recog-

On the Record
By Dorothy THOMPSON

Politics Is not an exact science but it
does have axioms of all but universal
validity. No government, for instance,
can sustain itself with popular support
unless 1t Is associated with success, not
failure. A popular government, to over
come national defeat, must turn the
defeat into some sort of popular victory
Thus Italian democracy will be doomed
II 1t ratif1es the exit of Italy as a great
European nation, relinquishes the pre-
Mussolini empire to other imperial
powers and accepts for Italy the role of
an economic colony.
Any German government that COL
laborates to dismantle German indus
tries, as is proposed, can never rest on
popular basis. Democracy itself would
overthrow it.
mus II the Allies do not collaborate
TO create strong democratic Europe off
TO fresh start. guided by longer view
of reason and justice than that dictated
by fear and revenge, Europe will not be
democratic but neo-Fascist or radically
revolutionary. For democracy, which
by definition rests on popular consent
and not on arbitrary force, if unable
because OF outside restrictions to respond
to popular needs and demands will be
overthrown. That, also, is automatic.

Our political failures In Europe are,
first, intellectual. We have failed to dis
Germ the necessary conditions for a
democratic Europe, let alone to imple-
ment discernment.
We apparently want democracy and
weak and servile European governments
led by mediocre personalities.
But we can't have both.
We can have democracy only If we en-
courage clear democratic programs and
vigorous patriotic personalities-no
Wallets and traitors to their own people.
If We take advice on the German
question from Emil Ludwig-and we do
we are silly. for under no conceivable
conditions could he assume responsibility

A frequent source of complaint
about Congress in dealing with local
legislation is the delay. 1t required
about year to obtain passage of a
bill authorizing the Commissioners
to suspend cancellation of service
mems driving permits, permitting
their renewal when the soldiers come
marching home.
But sometimes there is too much
speed. And as evidence thereof The

Complains About Buying Orgy

To the Editor of The Star:
have just recently returned from a
visit to New York and it was my dubious
privilege to visit two or three depart
ment stores while was in the city.
We have heard great deal lately, In
Guiding story in The Star, about the
acute manpower shortage. 1t even is
becoming necessary, according to the
report, to divert several thousands of
workers from nonessential enterprise to
direct war production.
This is not surprising in view of what
saw in New York. Literally thousands
OF women stormed every counter in the
stores. There obviously was no shortage
of the luxuries which the women want
to buy There was an abundance of
cosmetics, perfumes, fancy handbags,
dresses, rayon hose and countless ar
ticles which, with tongue in cheek, we
call hats; fancy dishes, glasses and
cutlery.
Where are all these commodities coln-
ing from? Are they being manufac-
tured in plants which otherwise might
be turning out the small arms ammuni-
ton so vitally needed in our theaters of
war? Are these women buyers the
daughters of our new-found war pros
perityP How come that with all the pri-
vations being experienced by our men
overseas and by the women of other
countries these luxuries still can be Of
fered for sale in wholesale abundance?
Certainly this spending orgy upon
which our American women have en-
barked is one of the crying shames of
this war. don't know where the re-
sponsioility lies, but it seems to me that
if these commodities were not offered to
the public for sale they would not be
able to buy them and of necessity would
be forced into putting all this surplus
money into War Bonds or savings Of
some other form of constructive invest
ment. CAPT. r. B. D.

Where Liqht Is Needed

Potentially one of the most signifi-
cant and constructive parts of Sec
retary Stettinius' reorganization of
the State Department is that having
to do with keeping the American
public informed about the Govern
ment's international activities and
with giving the world at large a
better understanding of how we live
on this continent and of the kind of
people we are.
To this end there has been created
the new post of Assistant Secretary
in charge of public and cultural
relations, and in his statement to the
Senate committee considering his
nomination to the Office, Archibald
MacLeiSh has made abundantly
clear that he has an excellent con-
ception of what his duties should
entail. Thus, as far as the domestic
information policy is concerned, his
idea of what is needed is one which
most Americans will enthusiastically
indorSe:
Mr.. Hull, in his great speech of
April 9, defined the foreign policy of
the United States as the task of
focusing and giving effect in the
world outside our borders to the will
OF 1875 million people" This will
remain, venture to think, the classic
definition of a democratic foreign
policy. Its implication, as regards the
duty of the department in informa-
ton matters, is obvious To focus
and give effect to the will of 135
million people, it Is necessary that the
people should have access to infor-
nation on the basis of which they
can shape their will Unless the
people are aware of the nature of the
problems their Government is con-
tending with in the field of foreign
relations, they cannot reach conclu-
sionS Of their own, and if they cannot
reach conclusions of their own, the
democratic foreign policy which Mr.
Hull defined cannot be realized. 1t
is the duty of the department, there
fore, to make available to the people,
through the channels of public COM
munication which now serve them,
the information they require.
Similarly, working with the exist
ing media of information, since no
democratic government should try to
do the job through a propaganda
ministry, Mr.. MacLeish would pro-
mote the fullest possible telling of
Americas story to the world In this
connection, he makes a point that
merits emphasis: In the old days.
before the development of such
things as radio. the plane and mod
ern press facilities, foreign relations
were largely confined to formal off,
cial dealings between nation and
nation: but now, whole populations
are daily and even hourly in direct
and continuing contact with each
other and foreign relations are thus
Influenced quite as much through
the instruments of public interna-
tional communication as through
diplomatic representatives and mis-
Sions"
Accomplishment of the program
outlined by Mr.. MacLeish should do
much to end confusion and miSun-
derStanding about American policy,
not only in this country but abroad
as well.
