 We need more men like Johnston prais- ing our own country and American pri- vate enterprise. Too many of our poli- ticians are puSsyfooting on this subject, while injecting government further and further into the affairs of private citi- zens, thereby limiting individual oppor- tunity. MT.

Good For Home Consumption

It has remained for Eric Johnston, Pres fdent of the United States Chamber of Commerce, to lead the way in champion ing the American system of private en- terprise. Instead of belittling our sys- tenn as outmoded as is too common a political practice here at home, MT. John- ston, at a luncheon given him in Moscow by the Soviet Trade Commissar, said:
 "In economic theology, the practice of my country is different from yours. You are state-minded, collective minded. We are most private-minded most individual minded and, gentlemen, make no mistake, we are determined to remain so or even to become more so.
 q think each of our two countries should be allowed to pursue its own eco homie experiment, unimpeded by the other. Speaking of gulf" between the nations, he said: "Three bridges of prac- 1ical cooperation can be thrown across 1t: ~ Our common determination to bring Hitler and Fascism to an end; (2) Our common passion for production; (S) The

Norway Fights

From time to time, dispatches from the European front mention casually that Allied" planes or units or craft partici- pated with the Anglo-Americans in some enterprise. If we think at all, we assume that Fighting French, or Polish, or per- haps Belgian or Dutch are meant. Prob ably they are-but so are Norwegian. Norway was enslaved early, but she saved many of her ships and men, and these have done and are doing yeoman service in the cause of democracy. When the shipping bottleneck threatened to cheat us of victory, Norwegian merchantmen operated by Norwegian crews gave in- valuable assistance. When Normandy was invaded the Allied spearhead includ- ed Norwegian destroyers and other naval craft; the transport servise that ferried men and weapons and munitions and supplies to the Normandy beaches was augmented by Norwegian merchantmen that had long eluded Nazi submarines in the Atlantic; Norwegian fighter squad rons, and bombers manned by Norwegian crews, participated in the air phase of the invasion.
 Even in exile Norway has proven val uable ally against Germany. The people at home have kept up constant and an moving pressure against their conquerors, and there is every reason to suppose that, if the Allies ever decide to invade through Norway, they will get very useful help from well-organized fifth columns of pa- triots. They are very much on the alert. Nazi-controlled newspapers tried to dis tort invasion facts to belittle what is hap pening in France. The rapidity and thor oughness with which the underground press spread the truth, picked up in Brit ish broadcasts, indicates the case with which saboteurs, guides, guerrillas can be brought into the picture when and if we need their assistance.
 Norway has learned that even tiny, inoffensive, peace-loving nation cannot live unto itself in the midst of total war. Like Denmark, Holland and Belgium (the last in two wars) she learned the hard way. Sweden, Spain, Portugal and Switz- erland escaped this time They must know now that they can never again be so fortunate. Unless it be Spain, we can count upon the little nations of Europe to be, in future, among the most diligent cultiy >tors of anything that will help to avoid World War III.

Thomas E. Dewey

The unanimous selection of Governor Thomas E. Dewey as the Republican can- didate for the presidency at the conven- ton in Chicago puts the full and united strength of the Republican party squarely behind him. Not in many years has any Republican candidate gone into and come out of convention with such solid backing. This not only portendS real campaign but a hard fought election. The selection of Governor John w. Brcker for a running mate adds even more strength to as formidable a candl- date that has headed the Republican party in long time. What one candi- date lacks, the other has-an ideal com bination.
 Thomas Dewey's eighteen month re- gine as governor of New York has been under continuous microscopic scrutiny because, in the eyes of both friends and enemies, it has been regarded as his test ing ground for the presidency Never since the beginning of his big-time career, has his general intelligence been Seri- ously questioned. The hope of his ene- mics, the fear of his friends has been that he might prove nothing more than a whirlwind prosecutor badly miscast i'll administrative capacity. This hopeful wishing and fears have failed to mater ialize as evidenced by his taking the Republican convention in Chicago by storm.
 While other aspirants for the nomina- ton were knocking each other around publicly, often so buSily that they forgot the party's ultimate goal, the oustlng of the New Deal from Washington, neither overtly nor covertly has Governor Dewey said one word in derogation of any can didate for the nomination that ultimately came hands down to him. What he will do or say now remains to be seen, but as we have said before, if past performances are any indication of the future he will go all out to win.

Legal Precedent Destroyed

Overruling a decision that has stood for 75 years, the United States Supreme Court has held that insurance is busl- ness in interstate commerce and subject to the Sherman Antitrust Act. This is another split decision - four. to three - such as the Court has been rendering, which shakes public confidence and causes confusion not only in the minds of the people but in the minds of lawyers and lower courts. Legal precedent which has been the foundation of law and court procedures, is being wiped out.
 In the present case, antitrust charges brought against the fire insurance com panies by the Justice Department were dismissed by the Federal District Court at Atlanta, on the ground that the United States Supreme Court had held for 75 years that the business of insurance was not commerce and not subject to Federal regulation, and that to rule otherwise would destroy the sovereignty of the states"
 In his dissenting opinion, Chief Justice Stone said that the immediate and only practical effect of the decision now ren- dered is to withdraw from the states, in large measure, the regulation of insur- ance and to confer it on the national government"
 The stage is now set for the establish naent of another gigantic Federal bureau manned by political appointeeS, to bring every state insurance department under the domain of the Federal government. Thus is the net of sn ever-growing bureaucracy being spread over the land.

ide of lime. but by one of those strange twists of reason and words, the youngster went down into depths of truth which adults in their sophistication often fail to see. For little glory divine will sweeten up unwholesome places, arrest decay, and put down the foul odors which arise from mans mistake and sin.
 A nearby druggist tells me that chloride of lime is the best of all chemicals to sweeten up dark and dirty corners in house cleaning time. But my experience as a minister also convinces me that glory divine is the celestial agent which God uses to accomplish sim liar purposes in the souls of men. Religion is the only answer to the problem of juvenile delinquency. It is the only answer to poverty and the degradation of slum life. It is will go a long way. At least we can start with that much.

TWO ROADS TO BERLIN
Christian science Monitor)

Christian Science Monitor)
 Something of the same feeling with which Americans and Britons hailed the news of the invasion of France is sweeping the Russians they learn of the drive of their armies in White Russia. The cap- ture of Vitebsk evidently had special meaning for Russians, pyO6- ably because 1t points the Russian forces directly on the road to Der lin.
 This is where the Nazis might have been expected to hold, since Nazi retreats in this region must exert a most depressing effect on German morale. The speed of the Russian advance suggests confusion and even demoralization among the Nai troops. Adding Zhoblin to their bag, the Russians have torn out the anchors of the Nazi defense line in White Russia.
 Soviet troops on this front are now just about the same distance from Berlin as Russia's Allies are at Cherbourg, approximately TOO miles. Berlin residents could avoid showing any favoritism by erecting arches of welcome on both sides of the city. to be ready about the same date.

Selected Poem
WE SUFFERED MINOR CASUALTIES

Pvt Peter J. Costa, Go. 349th Infantry, U.
 Army) Now the trying missions done
 And the mountain top is won, Only memory is the din
 Battle smoke and fire therein While below long stretching forth Lies the roadway to the north, Choking with the panic flow
 Of the mass retreating foe. Here again the wretched sight,
 Devastation left and right Olive groves and meadowland
 Ftavaged by a vandal hand. Shattered towns dot up the scene Where the peasant dweled serene. Spectral walls now line the street Where once battered little feet. And behind where short before
 Opened wide Hell's fiery door, Lie the bundles everywhere,
 Silent sightless, staring there. Th iv spoke to me,
 Sang and yelled vociferously And transfixed wonder then,
 If ere dusk I'll be with them.

here to set up headquarters, they were surprised to find young Regi- nald Headley, negro clerk, wait ing to go to work for them. Head ley had worked for the Dewey crowd during their unsuccessful lo40 pre-convention drive and mo- body had heard from him since. However, he just up and came to Chicago, ready to pitch in again for his hero In l940, Dewey had to listen to the convention voting from a window-sill in the Bellevue Stratford hotel in Phila- delphia. Something went wrong with his hotel-room radio dur ing the peak of the balloting and he had to hear as best he could from loudspeaker hooked up in the street. This time, 1t is differ ent. Dewey had a beautiful port able radio hooked up in his AL bany office.

 DEWEY'S FULL BUS
 From the first day of the con- vention, Dewey headquarters in the Stevens Hotel was jam-packed. Delegates arrived in waves, sound- ed out sentiment in the hotel lob- bies, found Dewey was out in front, and made a bee-line for his headquarters.
 One poor traveller got off the elevator at the crowded 18th floor and, smiling happily, was ready to join the Dewey forces. But talk ing one look at the crowd, he turned and walked away, signing sadly: T guess the bus is full" CHICAGO MERRY

 The Bricker-for- President crowd pulled out all the stops when 1t came to inventing tricky trap pings to attract attention. In addition to having a big brass band, Brickerites wore campaign buttons, campaign hats, campaign feathers, special campaign shirts, carried Bricker picket signs, beau- tiful three-color literature, special Bricker stationery, and even special paraSosl to protect lady delegates from the sun ..

 Here's the strategy drawn up for the .go-getting nustachioed gentleman from Albany:-Spend the bulk of the summer ia Albany preparing a series of six major addresses in which he will state his position on all questions. In these Dewey will assume the role he likes best, that Of the peoples district attorney, and will put the Roosevelt administration on trial.
 Dewey and Herbert Brownell, his personal campaign manager, have ruled out the traditional campaign train with its stumping of the country from end to end, visiting small town and greeting the folks on their doorsteps. They point out that the country is so large, the candidate wears himself out trying to see and greet every one, and ends up as Wendell Will kie did, meeting only a fraction of the folks.
 Important Republican pOli-
 ticOs will have 8 chance to see
 Dewey this summer, but many
 will trek to Albany for the Op-
 portunity. This does not mean
 Dewey will do no travelling.
 He plans to deliver his six
 speeches in carefully spotted
 cities around the country.
 One major speech will take place in Michigan, another in Cali fornia, a third in Minnesota, fourth either in pivotal Kentucky speech will probably be delivered in New York city. On all these trips, Dewey will make a few back platform appearances but, unlike Willkie's patient, plodding tours thorugh the country, he will make no great circle swings of four or five weeks duration.
