FAIR ENOUGH
-Bv WESTBROOK PEGLER

COME of Tom Deweys friends
- mutter he owes II 10 them
10 say he will accept the NOM
nation so they will have some
thing to offer the Republicans
in competition with Mr.. Willkle
This baSkfulneSS can be over
done and has just about served
its purpose, but l take 1t for
granted that Dewey Will put up
fight for the nomination because
to his kind of r G pu blic a n,
Willkie is just an imitation
Roosevelt and his policies
plagiarized New Deal.
1t has got to be Dewey or
Willkie for no other Republican
running against Mr.. Roosevelt
would be worth the investment
in train fares.
Moreover Dewey is so sore at
Willkie for cutting him down in
1910 that you may be sure he
would be very happy to accept.
OF course he should be CRATE
full because Mr.. Roosevelt was a
bull for strength that year and
would have knocked the braSh
young man through the sky
light.
DUT if Mr.. Dewey is being coy
- I submit that Broth er
Willkie also is simpering on an
important issue while tearing
around to meetings and pelting
himself with compliments at
close range
How stands Brother Willkie on
labor? That is one Of the great
est domestic issues and grows
graver day by day. II Is not a
mere matter of wartime strikes
which may abate under the
pressure of public opinion and,
which. in some cases undoubt-
edly have b een provoked by
dumb. stiff -necked or incompe-

II involves fundamentals, the
right of the citizen 10 join a
private lodge. his right TO not
paw an income tax 10 a political
organization rs Sidney Hlllman
has had the effrentery 10 pro-
pose.
His right 10 bargain through
the agent of his own choice as
proposed in the Wagner act and
not through an agent thrust
upon him by either his employer
or the government.
These rights have been houted
in the most cynical way Tor
several years and will wither
away if they are not re-eStab-
lished soon.
4 MOTHER four years of Mr..
~ RooScvelts policy would
cancel them entirely, and If we
can assume his administration
would continue its creeping en-
croachments oD she freedom and
dignity of the individual we can
also foreSee a convincing imita-
ton Of the labor controls which
MuSSolini founded in Italy and
Hitler adopted in the land OF
the master race.

has not declared him self
strongly. But. for one thing,

bill 10 facilitate soldier voting hut a
thoroughly dishonest measure 10

10 control the next presidential cleo
tion. has the fatal defect of beng
BOTH unconstitutional and mn

II is unconstitutional. because
the CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES clearly and Spc-
officially gives EXCLUSIVE CON
TROL OF BALLOTS TO TIE
STATES. and in NO circumstances
and for no purpose permits FED
ERAL CONTROL.
OF course the New Deal is per
fectiy wiling to ignore and violate
the Constitution.
But the American people surely
expect an American Congress to
have respect for and adhere 10 the
basic law OF the land
And the basic law in this sltua
ton is absolutely incontrovertlble.
CONGRESS cannot by itself legally
~ amend the Constitution.
1t can only PROPOSE an amend
ment to the states which have the
sole power of ratification.
Being palpably and purposely
unconstitutional, the Green Lucas
bill is fagrantly and shamefully Inn
moral-because every federal officer
implicated, including the President
and every member of Congress, is
pledged by oath of Office to Up
HOLD the Constitution.
But it is immoral by many other
tests.
1t is immoral because it con
spires against the democratic institu-
tions and processes of the nation in
order to prolong the New Deal re-
gime for at least SIXTEEN years
and to perpetuate II if possible.
II Is immoral in It's most deYastat-

actual physical handling, of millions

The Truth About
The Soldier Vote bill

of ballots were processes exclusively
controlled by the appointees and
minions of "A presidential candidate
whose political fate depends upon
the result of the election!
ENEN If the American people
II astqd be assured of the absolute
integrity of the New Deal in such q
situation, the suggested process
would still be mthinkabIe. q
But the American people should
have no illusions about the political
integrity of the New Deal.
This is the same New Deal which
PLAYED politics with human want and
misery So flagrantly and regimented
the WPA for It's own political adj
vantage and power so boldly and
ruthlesslv that an outraged Congress
WAS finally compelled to restrain 1t
lV enactment of the Hatch Act for
bidding "PERNICIOUS- POLITE
CAL ACTIVITY BY FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES"
This is the same New Deal which
once contrivcd, through It's Agl1cuI-
tural Adjustment Administration, to-
have long-wlthheld farmers benefit
checks appear in millions of rural
mail boxes throughout the country
a few days before an election.
THE propensity Of the New Deal
l. for accomplishing its ends and
enhancing It's power and especially
for prolonging It's life by trickery is
well known.
1t Will be confronted in the forth
coming presidential election by the
most serious threat to its powers and
longevity in It's history.
In fact, it is well aware that 1t can
only win by tlickery.
And the unconstitutional and Inn
moral Grecn-Lucas bill is the UNI
savorv fruit of that awareness.
The simple truth in the present
situation is that the New Deaf adj
nlinistratinp,- while pretending TO be
concerned about soldiers losing their
votes, is really and most deeply con-
cened about LOSING THE ELEC-
TION.
THE. only orderly and honest way
l. toilet soldiers vote is through the
customary state control of the ballot.
More soldiers will be enabled to
vote that way than any other way.
1t is the only sensational way.
Let us be sure it is done that

constitutional and immoral methods

Maverick Appointed
Smaller War Plants
Director for WPB

Chairman Donald M. Nelson OF
the War Production Board yesterday
announced appointment of Maury
Maverick, former Representative
from Texas, as head of the Smaller
War Plants Corp, one of the Gov
ernments hot spots.'
Mr.. Maverick becomes vice chair
man of the WPB in charge of the
SWPC and member of the corpora
tons Board of Directors, posts
which have been vacant since the
resignation of Brig. Gen. Robert w
johnson in October.
In citing Mr.. Mavericks qualifica-
tons, Mr.. Nelson said he has proved
himself an able, vigorous admins
traitor" in the two years the Texan
has been with the WPB. Mr.. MAYER
lex organized and served as chief
of the Government Division, han
ding the materials needs of the
various State and municipal gov
ernments.
Opposed by Committee.
Mr.. Nelson told the Senate Small
Business Committee last week that
he would appoint Mr.. Maverick to
the post, despite the committee
opposition. The House Small Bust
ness Committee, however, is said to
have favored the move Senator
Wherry, Republican, of Nebraska
voiced the opinion that Mr.. Maverick
lacked the experience in business
for the job.
In his statement yesterday, Mr.
Nelson said Mr.. Maverick has a
background of experience as bust
nesSman. He knows the small bust
nessman's problems because he has
met those problems himself as a
private citizen" 1t was pointed out
the Texan for u years was lum-
Der dealer and home builder in
San Antonio with experience in the
manufacture and retail sale of lum-
Der and in mortgage financing.
Before entering Government serv-
ice here in 1941, Mr.. Maverick
served two terms in Congress and
one as mayor of San Antonio.
Agency Successful.
In assuming direction of SWPC,
Mr.. Maverick takes over an agency
which has never been operated with
the success expected of it. Estab-
lished by Congress in June, 1912,
with capitalization of S150,000, 900,
ito mobilize aggressively for war;
the productive capacity of all small
business concerns" the corporation
at last report was instrumental in
letting only $10,000,000 in prime
contracts.
Despite the dire predictions of the
fate of small business during the
war and failure of the panacea,
business records show small firms
have Jared unusually we'll so far.
The number of business failures has
been at an all-time low.
The SWPC is expected by officials
to play an important part in the
conversion of manufacture from war
to peace. At least, they say, the
money is on hand to do the Job.
