peaches, prunes. raisins and figs of

Chosen officials at that time will chart
the course of this nation through the

DOWN IN TEXAS

! Texas Democratic presidential electors,
named at the regularly constituted con-
vention, and who declared they would not
cast their votes for Roosevelt, have been
banshed by an arbitrary ruling of the
state supreme court. Such ruling was
suspected, and the electors chosen at a
trump convention have been authorized
by the court as the ones to go on the
ballot
The court procedure was regular. But
here is the catch The pro-Roosevelt cleo
tors were nominated only few days ago.
They went to court at once and at the
close of the hearing, the court made its
ruling The chief justice of the court,
in rendering the ruling declared "that
because time was short for printing the
ballots in the state, no motion for re-
hearing would be considered This means
the ruling is final
And now all Texans can do is to write
in the names of the twenty-three anti
Roosevelt electors. Evidently a majority
of Texas Democrats will undertake to
do that since the anti Roosevelt group
was named by a convention maj jOrity.

CONGRESS FOILS NEW DEAL
GRAB FOR STATE FUNDS
CLOS Angeles Times)


Sending to the White House by Con-
greSS of what is substantially the House
amended version of the George demobili-
zatiOn bill marks the complete rout of
the New Deal forces which were bent on
seizure of state unemployment insurance
funds and administration. The states
will retain their money and spend 1t in
accordance with their own requirements.
No doubt the fight will be renewed, since
the amount of money involved is consid-
cradle = the California fund alone is
around $500, 100000 and building up fast.
Involved in the fight also was the eff
fort of radical unionistS, particularly of
the CLIO. to make unemployment in
surance benefits uniform throughout the
United States, in spite of the fact that
the cost is not uniform and never will be.
Congress turned deaf ear to this effort.
Included in the bill is a provision for
bidding the administration to keep any
body in the armed forces merely to pre-
vent them from being unemployed. Using
the Army and Navy as form of unem-
ployment relief was suggested by Gen.
Hershey. the selective service director,
and apparently was an administration
idea until Gov Dewey denounced it, when
the administration hastily scurried for

For his is the stuff of which Eng

I cannot yet write the full story
of all this airborne force has done

WORDS VS. DOLLARS

(ChriStian Science Monitor)
Several m ayors of Massachusetts
towns and cities, at a meeting of their
Mayors Club the other day, expressed
serious doubts whether they would be
able to persuade young boys and girls
II and Is years of age to return to COM
pete their high-school education, so long
as labor was offering them $50 and $50
a week for jobs.
No elected public official is nearer the
people and their concerns than is the
mayor of the city, and therefore the view
of these men cannot be shrugged aside.
1t may we'll be that in many cases the
argument of words and ideas may fall
before the argument of dollars. How
ever, we concur with the mayors that this
is no reason for ceasing efforts to pub
licize the value of going back to school.
The time is coming when labor will no
longer have jobs for these unskilled
young workers now commanding such
extraordinary pay. Then, if we have
continued all along to give voice to the
plea of education, at least the young
people will know what the next right
step is. At least they will have had it
drilled into them that a high-school edu-
cation is the minimum necessity in the
unpredictable postwar future.

PEARL HARBOR PRODS
STIR ADMINISTRATION

The insistence of leaders of hosts of
civilians and members of congress in de-
manding that the administration permit
and start Immediately the court-martial
of Admiral Kimmel and General Short
is giving the new deal dictatorS consider
able uneasinesS.
Smarting under recent denunciations
from the floor of congress and from in
dividualS all over the country, admins
tration bell-weathers are trying to make
excuse for the refusal to give these men
the fair trial to which they are entitled,
but with little success.
A recent statement that Australians
knew definitely that the Japs were pre-
pairing sneak attack and that the war
department had access to this informa
ton has drawn a denial from the Aus
tralian envoy at Washington, but it has
lacked the effect of stilling the accuser
of the administration.
Latest move to salvage the admins
tration's face" and to neutraize the
sweeping effects of the demands for the
court-martial as election nearS, is one
from the White House.
Said the President: ANYONE who may
have anv information whatsoever con-
cerning information about the Japs 72
hours before the Pearl Harbor attack
should communicate it to boards which
are gathering information" This refer
ence was to war and navy boards.
Would such a request mean that Short
and Kimmel could turn in what they
know?
Reference to boards renews attention
to the arbitrary method the President
used when he appointed an investigating
board headed by justice of the supreme
court This board made report without
having heard one word from the men who
have been denied plain justice.
Nothing the administration can do now
will mitigate the most callous action in
the military history of the nation in re-
fusing men high in the service the plain
rights guaranteed by the constitution.

I'VE began bicycle rationing in

Of about 100000 bicycles he said.
Nov the stockpile is gone, and cur

BY PETER EDISON

Unfortunately for the voter in
this or any other political CAM
paign. there are two kinds of hon.
esty The first is honesty, the Sec
ond is political honesty. The OBJ
Servation is net new, but it is again
timely.
The trick of being just politically
honest consists of making state
mentS which are true as far as they
go but do not tell the whole truth,
or are presented in such way that
they lead to false conclusions or
place wrong emphasis en- any given
set of facts. Under the double
standard of political morals this is
not considered being dishonest. 1t is
merely considered being politically
smart.
For instance, it is politically hon.
est to say that U. S. national in
ccmc is higher today than it has
ever been in American history.
Farm income is greater, wages of
labor are higher, profits before
taxes are bigger. But to imply from
these statements that the country
is now more prosperous and on a
sounder financial basis than it has
ever been, with the living standard
higher than ever before, is polit-
ically dishonest. Higher national
income is being attained only by
greater government borrowing, by
increasing the national debt. by in
creasing government spending for
materialc of war. The higher ma
tional income argument therefore
falls of its cwn weight if it be raised
as a reason for continuing the
Democratic party in office.

There isn't anything morally
wrong with this kind of political

DEWEY DOES IT, TOO

No one party or no one candidate,
however. has any monopoly on po-
litical dishonesty For years, the
critics of President Roosevelt have
writhed at what they considered
the political dishonesty of many of
the New Deal objectiveS. the -Four
Freedoms, the Atlantic Charter, the
present emphasis upon the Presi-
dents perfectly constitutional posi-
ton as Commander in Chief, the
diSavoWal OF there being political
significance to so many of his activ-
tiles. And evidence is piling up that
Governor Thomas E. Dewey is just
as much of an old master at this
sort of thing as anybody else.
When the governor busted into
Tie Dumbarton Oaks postwar Sc
curity planning by attacking ru-
mored proposals as domination of
smaller nations by the Big Four
powers. he gave no indication he
kneW-if he did knoW-that Secre-
tary Cf State COrdell Hull had in
sisted agreement among the Big
Four was first requisite to later CO.
operation with smaller countries.
Hull. if he had wanted to, might
have shown the governor up as be-
ing not too well informed on what
he was trying to talk about To
save the conference from being
dragged into politics, Hull refrained
from this, and instead invited
Dewey TO send his foreign policy ad-
vicer, Foster Dulles. to get fill-in
on what went on. Dewey in effect
thus became partner in postwar
planning and he can claim part
credit for any Dumbarton accom-
plishmentS. This is smart politics,
but not what you would call hun
dred per cent cross your heart and
hope to die honest.
DON'T LET THEM FOOL YOU
You can reduce to similar absurd
tiles the charges by Dewey that
Roosevelt did nothing to prepare
the American people for war and
that War Mobilization Director
James T.. Byrnes's plans for de-
mobilization are six months too
late. Memory seems to whisper with
a shout that four years ago the Re-
publicans were lambasting this fell

drag this country into another un-
