JESSE JONES NEPHEW

Just before the recent turbulent Texas Democratic convention, Gov erncr Coke Stevenson approached forthright ex-Govewlor Jimmy All red, who was leading the fight for Roosevelt. Governor Stevenson had just spent good part of day with Jesse Jones Tn Washington, and he said to Alfred, in brief, Jimmy, this is the Governors convention. and I'm running for re-eiection. I'd like to esk one favor of you. I'd like to see George Butler appointed chairman of the convention"
 Jimmy Aired almost exploded. George Butler is Jesse Jones' nephew, and the man who chair maned the May Texas convention which Appointed electors pledged not to vote for Roosevelt next Mo- verber.

WILLKIE'S ILLNESS

Wendell Willkie hes been mys- teriously laid up in a New York hospital. He is not really ill.,. but IS reported recuperating from a long, nervous period during which he was resisting overtures from both Roosevelt and Dewey, and writing magazine articles on what tho platforms Of both parties should be.
 T. is suspected also that there may be tincture of political ill., ness about Wilfkie's sojourn in the hospital. He was supposed to try case in California at just about this time, as the attornew for the Gianninis' Bank of America. How ever, to be on the West Coast last week would have meant that he would have bumped headlong into Dewey, which would have been em- barraSsing for both. It might have looked as if he was cramping Dewey's style.
 Also Willkie may be enjoying a diplomatic rest in the hospital in order to avoid the proposed meet ing with oRosevelt before Novem- Der. Actually he would like to confer with the President about plu for peace, out doesn't want to have it look too political

 There are many indications that the United States already has started down the road toward normal peace economy The signs still are few and far be- tween but they definite nonetheless. The danger exists that we shall speed the return too quickly that our hope for removal of emergency restrictions will bring such removal before military program is ready for it.
 The Navy a news report tells, is returning binoculars to cvilians-bnoculars loaned during the early weeks of war. There has been resumption ot production of certain types of civilian goods There has been easing of rationing regulations some types of war production have been curtaed or stopped altogether Reports tell of naval and military reserve stores on hand sufficient to meet any possible con- tingency.
 These things all are encouraging. They all con- tribute to Knowledge we already had-that the war, in Europe at least is nearing it's end. But we should not allow this information to Hull into dangerous over optimism The enemy in the Far East IS on the run but he is far from defeat.

Nothing has leaked out about it but Secretary Hull has sent orders doYn the line to key Democrats that he doesn't want foreign policy brought into the campaign as a political issue by Roosevelt sup porters.
 Actually, Presidential advisers ana several of Hull's fellow Cabinet members are burnt up over the Secretary of States demand. They poirt out that despite any agree ment Hull may nave with John Foster Dulles, Dewey and other COP speakers are talking foreign policy all over the place.

 There are actually more specta- tors watching softball games in the United States annually than see baseball games in year. Softball is faster than baseball because the bases are closer together. This compels the players to field the ball quickly and the throws must be accurate or the base runner will be safe.

terra Employees Union, Local 302, an
affiliate Of the American Federation
of Labor, representing 5000 workers
have signed a contract providing for

surance.
The contract was signed in the Of
flee Of Arthur S. Meyer, chairman OF
the New York State Mediation Board
who was instrumental in bringing
about the agreement.
The plan agreed upon was describ-
ed as the first of it's kind in the res
taurant industry, and provides for 50
days Of disqualification with three
fifths Of a workers wages payable for
81 weeks in any one illness or acci-

have been different story if he
could have been charged with an
offense by court functioning under
international authority and given
trial, with the sure knowledge that
the verdict was backed by power to
enforce.
Nations took the first great step
away from imperial authority when
they set law above the sovereign
law emanating from the PEOPLE.
1t cannot be otherwise among ma
tions; it must be that way, if we are to
have the promised better world.
Why should nation be allowed to
ravage, any more than an individual
is allowed to ravage?
National sovereignty must no longer
be allowed to cloak national crime.
Unless it's to be the world against
the criminal nation, then we shall not
have gained all that we want to gain
out of this war.
The principle is simple, but to put
it into effect will require hard work
and perseverance.
The idea of national sovereignty,
without any notifications, is so
strongly ingrained in nations that any
little yielding will come mighty hard.
But even now, the reachings for
postwar power by individual nations
mark out for us with tremendous en-
phasis the great need for world
of law-law that shall rest alike upon
all nations.
For long time the edge will be
with the strongest nations, in fact,
just as it is with powerful persons
under our own law.

We are hearing great deal about
these things. Too much for comfort
Also we hear great deal about
cartels.
And what we hear boils down to
the fact that greed is a long ways
from dead.
What's more, greed will remain.
Those who think greed is going to
fold up and disappear are just fool
ish.
But we can have a decent world
just the same.
What is needed to make a decent
world is agreement to recognize LAW
as the ruling power.
And we must add to Law the pow
er to ENFORCE law.
That's how it is in our own national
affairs.
We have plenty of greed right here
among us. We have greed among cor.
porations and we even have greed
among unions.
But we have enforceable Law and
those who transgress can be hailed be-
for court and given trial.
When Hitler began to torture other
nations with his greed there would

There will be no full recognition in
practice Of such principle in world
affairs.
But if the principle be established
and the effort made, we shall have
a right to expect that more and more
the principle will work in practice.
If we 60 back to power politics,
without international restraint, or
without a proper regard for justice
and for equal rights, then we shall
have fallen far short Of what the
masses Of the people the world over
wart as q result Of this war.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-12-08

But to set up the principle and make
the effort will be great thing, If it
can be done.
The wealthy man, able to hire bat
teries of lawyers, pretty surely has
better chance in court than the
poor man. But we have set firmly in
our nations constitution and in our
law the principle that all men are
created equal and that all are alike
before the bar Of justice.
More and more the principle works
out in practive.
