POLITICAL
PARADE
BY @. R.
Brown

WASHINGTON, March "a
W Wendell L. Willkie. in the
opinion of political observers
here, will not advance the prob
ability of his nomination for
President by the Republican
party at Chicago. in June. re-
CARELESS Of the outcome of his
frantic quest of delegates in
Wisconsin.
Mr.. Wilkes White House
ambitions are perhaps regarded
more coldly in Washington than
in any other city, indeed than
in any section of the country,
and they have encountered
downright hostility in many
states, such as North Carolina.
There are reasons for this.
Mr.. Willkie, from the politician 3
point of view, has played an en-
tirely selfish game ever since he
was defeated by Mr.. Roosevelt
in 1910.
If HE fails TO obtain the nomi-
l. nation in June he Will have
only himself 10 blame, for he
IS the architect Of his own I'M
popularity in the Republican
party.
Mr.. Wilkes great chance
came IN 1912, when the Repub-
lican party was making an
uphill fight, against all the en-
trenched strength of the Roose-
welt bureaucratic machine. TO
restore its prestige and increase
It's membership in the Senate
and the House of Representa-
tives, as prelude TO the presi-
Dental campaign two years
later.
The party succeeded in doing
thiS-but il owed nothing of the
result to Mr.. Willkle.
If the 1910 presidential nomi-
nee had not been entirely selfish.
ii is claimed. If ne mad not been
lacking IN all the essential IN
Stincts Of POLITICAL and party
leader. nc would have taken Off
his coat in that campaign two
years ago. gone on the stump.
and made speeches in behalf Of

dates for Congress.

Police Duty vs.. Unions

MAYOR JEFFRIES and Police
WI Commissioner Ballenger de
serve general commentator for their
firm and uncompromislng stand
against union organization of the
police department
The mayor said yesterday
The police commissioner and !
hare conferred and tUe are not 60
ing to have any members OF the
department Joining a tabor union.
We uUH dismiss any one tDe find has
signed up in the union.
The police commissioner said:
Police officers cannot consist
emily belong 10 union and perform
their sUorn duties as officers. They
can't hare dual allegiance. AS com
missioner ! tOould be committing an
unia,ofui act il permitted members
TO join union.
These fortnight statements
should once and for all dispose of the
issue Of whether Detroit policemen
can be solicited by labor organiza
tons
THE unfortunate aspect OF the
Il matter is, however, that the or
ganizers who solicit them lack any
sense of civic responsibility and all
sense of respect for our form of gov
eminent. Their very contempt for
American governmental structure
makes them insidious and annoying
if not dangerous persons.
And the fact that they persisted
in their scheme with full knowledge

Concentration of polUer What alUayS precedes the

New York l. Sept 9 1872.

New York Sept 9 9, 1912.
ONE of the most dangerous propo-
~ sitionS ever advanced IN this
country to concentrate power in the
hands of one man and to absorb one
of the most beneficent, self evolving
activities of the human race is hidden
in Senate Bill 1161.
This bill, sponsored by Senator
Wagner of New York and Senator
Murray of Montana, proposes to SO
cialize all the doctors of the United
States and make medicine as integral
a part of national bureaucratic &C
tivities as the late unlamented WPA
or the NRA.
Fulton Lewis Jr. of the Hearst
King Features Service the other day
exposed this bold attempt to mix
medicine and politics.
Of the inherent dangers of the
tendency to bring every free activity
of the people of the country under
political and therefore bureaucratic
control Mr. Lewis says land his
statement is inControvertible)
he simple fact is that political
control of anything eliminates the
standard OF merit and substitutes in
stead the standard of personal friend
ship and political influence IL STILES
ambition and smothers initiatiUe-
because promotion depends not on
ability and accomplishment, but on
political considerations.
Political doctors and political
medicine would therefore be the
entering wedge to taking over en-
tirely al the activities of people
precisely as they do in Germany and
Russia.
The Wagner Murray bill to so
cialize the medical profession has
caused the American Defense Society
TO begin a campaign to kill this
edefifeFeHs measure in committee.
The society sums up the dangers
TO our free way of life in this social
lstlc measure as follows

600 by taxation out Of the
pockets Of the American people to

that it could not officially be counte-
nanced shows how persistent they
are. Doubtless they gambled on
signing up so many policemen before
disclosing their intention that city
executives would be virtually forced
to tolerate police union, at least on
some compromise basis.
They must be watched constantly
and alertly for they are tireless IN
their underground efforts.
This newspaper believes the ques-
ton of police Joining unions has
nothing to do with the merits of or
ganized labor in principle.
WE BELIEVE simply that
w policeman is like soldier. He
is sworn protector of all the people
of his community and cannot serve
competently if his allegiance be
divided.
We believe it is as wrong and i'm
practical for a police department to
be unionized as for an army to be
unioniZed
Happily, in this regard only
handful of Detroit policemen are
thought to have signed up in the
abortive organizing attempt. The
vast majority of Detroit policemen
paid no attention to it. That stamps
them as loyal guardians of the law.
The Detroit Times feels some
little qualification that it's disclosure
of the attempted union infiltration of
the police department helped nip it
in the bud.
