Selected Poem

Harriet Tyng in The Christian Science Monitor) Let all the earth stand silent Let sound, No anxious utterance betray the spell That works beneath the baroness Of this ground. That works as it has always worked. for we'll We know that in recesses Deep below, Re-kindled by an old enduring spark. We know that smolderng fires Already glow
 Against the dampers of the winters dark. Let all the earth stand silent, Let no blame,
 No faltering whisper of belated thaw Obscure the certainty Of sudden flame: Let all the earth stand silent-and in awe.

 Hearings on tax law simplification were started yesterday by the house ways and means committee in Washington. The object is to pro- vide a less complex individual in- come tax structure. The congress- men are expected to be at their task about two months, and since the sessions are to be closed, we may not hear much about their progress un- til the end. In the meantime, let's give this effort every possible en- couragement. Congress has been on the receiving end of a good many brickbats since the 78th congress came into session, but here is a chance for us to applaud. If the committee is successful, we can write Dear Congressman" and real- ly mean the first word.

Dr.. Gruu

DR.. Ramon Grau San Martin,
President-elect of Cuba, is no
stranger to Washington. He has
been here before and is we'll known
in diplomatic circles. But on this
'occasion he comes in a happier
frame of mind than ever previously.
He now enjoys the prestige of having
won the highest gift in the power OF
his countrymen against a back
ground of opposition that prior to
June l threatened decisive defeat.
His rival at the polls was DR.. Carlos
Saladrigas, the candidate of the ad-
ministration forces headed by Full
gencio BatiSta. To win against such
power, it was necessary for him
to show that he was the preferred
leader of a distinctive majority of
the people. An orderly campaign
and fair count of the ballots gave
him notable victory. He will as
sumo office with the expressed con-
sent of the opposition as we'll as the
specific mandate of his followers.
Such circumstance has not been
the rule invariably at Habana.
When DR.. Grau was chief executive
in 1888, his tenure was insecure. He
held Office in spite of substantial
opposition, and his resignation in
1884 proved the fallacy of a gov
ernment disapproved by a consid-
cradle faction. 1t also demonstrated
the capacity of hostile elements out
Nside Cuba. Certain financial in
terests," the retiring President
alleged, "are sworn enemies of our
people" His reference was to busi-
ness organizations in the United
States.
But neither DR.. Grau nor any
other responsible Cuban statesman
would make an affirmation of that
sort today. The good
policy" tested in the fire of global
emergency. it seems has brought
Cuba and the United States into a
relation OF close and intimate
friendship unparalleled since 1898.
DR.. Grau is an emissary of to-
morrow in that respect. He is well
come in Washington accordingly.

FoIse STRENGTH
From the Los Angeles Times.

i
Japan has made great PROPAGANDA
capital out of the vast numbers of
Asiatics who, willingly and otherwise.
have come within her sphere of influ-
ence. In his projected New Order in
Europe, Hitler had the same idea. What
has happened in the areas of Na1 con-
quest is beginning to happen in those
OF the japanese. Enormous manpower
resources are an asset only II they
are either willing ones or the strength
Is available to enforce wholesale slavery.
Failing both, they are liabilities of a
danger directly as their size. Both
ends OF the Axis are splintering on the
same rock Of too-easy early successes.
Their fraudulent promises having
proven impossible Of fulfllment, they
resorted to force, directly and through
military puppet rule, to keep order in
their undigested areas of conouest.
From that to open enslavement was a
short and logical step. Germany Is far
ther along in the process-and nearer
Its disastrous end-than Is Japan, but
only because she has been at 1t longer.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The War Departments announcement
that time will be given political parties
on the Army's short wave radio facil-
tiles during the presidential campaign is
an excellent idea. Many reports are
reaching this country that the men in
the armed forces are apathetic about
voting. A weekly program, in which all
the political parties are given equal
opportunity to present their arguments,
may stimulate the interest OF the SOL
diers and sailors.
The announcement, however, does not
go to the root of the demand made by
Norman Thomas, Socialist, that he be
given time on the air because Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Bremerton speech after
his recent visit to Pearl Harbor. The
War Department first ruled that Mr..
Thomas should have time to address the
troops overseas and six hours later re-
versed itself on the ground that the
Presidents address was not political -
The President may make other trips
to war areas and similar addresses, dur
ing the present campaign They will
raise the question whether such ad-
dresses-by the Commander in Chief
are not in reality intended to have an
effect on the coming election. In other
words, when is a presidential address
political?
A presidential candidate does not have
to label an address political to make
it so. Further, a presidential candidate
cannot label an address non-political and
make the label stick. Anything a can
didate may say during the next few
months will have its political signifi-
cance-and that goes for the President
and Commander in Chief as we'll as it
does for Gov. Dewey of New York or
any other presidential aspirant.
Obviously the President did not care
to have his visit to Pearl Harbor called
political trip-nor the speech he made
upon his return to these shores dubbed
a political speech-Which was the effect
of the first decision of the War De-
partment on Thomas request for time
He made the trip ostensibly as Com
mander in Chief, to get as much first
hand information as he could about the

To the Editor Of The Star:
That We are fast approaching the
most crucial period in the history of the
world may not be too strong . state
ment. Once more and 1t may be the
last time, there is to be offered the
opportunity for ending wars and estab-
fishing universal peace. The thinking
of Americans on the subject of inter-
national peace is probably now in its
most active formative stage. Now II
ever, earnest men and women by in
telligent, determined efforts may be able
to put an end to armed conflicts.
The shape Of things to come is more
or less evident. One or the other of two
world conditions must shortly confront
U.s. We shall emerge from the present
conflict with a plan of strengthening
the international framework that we
have already forged in war" as advo-
Gated by Walter Lippman in his analysis
OF the United States war aims, or with a
comprehensive plan for world govern
ment based on sound governmental
principles for the purpose of enforcing
law In international affairs" as advo-
Gated by Judge John j. Parker in his
address on World Organization"
1t should be clear to the students Of
history that unless world organization
Tor establishing international govern
ment by law and for preserving peace is
agreed upon, we shall see the nations of
'ne earth again assemble into groups
ana allances resulting in the reign of
power politics with all its attendant
evils. The latter will be the inevitable
result, If those to whom the task of
arranging world affairs is intrusted see
no further than prospect for imme-
oiate security following the end of the
war. 1t will be easy to arouse enthu-
slasm for a plan that will make the
Tour great powers free from attack by
otner nations and, indeed, for a gener-
atlon or two. free from attack by one
upon the other. But we must know
at this point in the history of mankind
tnat there can be no lasting peace except
through a world organization having
jurisdiction over the conduct of nations
an organization with adequate power
to enforce its primary purpose of up-
holding international law and preserv-
Ing peace in the world
In this critical hour the faith and
nopes OF us all are anchored upon men
trained in diplomacy, experienced in
world affairs and familiar with inter-
national legal principles, upon whom, bv
reason OF long established custom and
practice, the duty of drafting documents
OF state devolves and the charge of
procuring agreements rests. Whether
these men may be able to abandon old
concepts with which some may have be-
come lmbued in their spheres of action
Where power politics has had complete
control and war has always been re-
garded as Observation-Disclosures in the
uproar and din Of battlefronts or amidst
the exultations Of victory and peace.
they can form concepts of world gov

loud becomes the cry and how unceasinp
