MARCH OF EVENTS
BY Benjamin De Casseres-

4 BOVE the roar OF the guns
"A and the looming OF air
planes splitting fire science
pursues its implacable way, for
real science lives in the strato-
sphere of the mental universe.
Curiosity and the thirst for
knowledge are among the old
est instincts of the human race,
and nothing can quench this
march against the unknown,
which. together with mans
progress in the arts. constitutes
his spiritual dignity.
When television, for instance.

shall have been conquered.
And when radio and television
are united we shall arrive at the
naturalization of a fable.
WE ARE too apt 10 take the
w conQuests OF the scientific
spirit after a few years Of use
as q matter OF fact. Thomas
Carlyle Indicated this perpetual
tendency toward the stagnation
OF the wonder spirit in man
when he said. in effect: The sec
ond time the moon rose in the
same place no one paid any
attention TO IL.
Man must never lose that
faculty OF being sstonished and
.rprised-of being struck with
bnder-which is also the very
psychological base OF scientific
and artistic experiment. II is his
passport TO growth and appre-
hension.
We in America in our short
80 years as a nation have ac-
complished literally wonders in
the sciences and the arts.
OUR attention today Is closely
" glued to political movements
and war. But there is another
domain, vaster than the earth
itself, wherein men labor day
and night, urged on by a might
Ter force than that which urges
dictators and politicians. who
will pass into oblivion or the
limbos of the infamous.
That force is scientific curl
osity. or the conquest OF the
universe for man.
This is a domain over which

evidence of their infamy.
The Argentine government
became anti-Nazi only TO save
their skins.
They don't hate Hitler; they
just love power.
Now all the editorialists who
rebuked this reporter on that
story-have joined in praising
our diplomats for putting the
heat on Argentina and putting
their Nazi leaders in their
place.
GAZETTES and mags con-
VI tain grim and heartbreak-
ing photos of dead Americans
on battlefields, or soldiers who
have lost an arm or leg.
They make the biggest sacri-
fices without clubbing or quit
ting.
But many on the home front
aren't facing enemy bullets or
bayonets-yet balk at puny sac
rifices.
Those who have the least to
do can't match the patriotism
of those who are doing the most.
The most obnoxious person Is
the super-optimist who insists
the war is a tea party and will
be over this year.
He thinks II will end sooner
than il takes him 10 view a
newsreel--which is the nearest
he has come TO the war.

EEW men in the Unite d
Il States have paid as high
price for principle as Jim
Farley.
All the stories that small men
concoct TO belittle him fall by
the wayside.
Jim Farley put himself and
his party second TO his country.
Jim Farley loves the United
States, its baseball sandlots, its
clubhouse politics, its machines
for the control Of the votes of

Constitution of the Uni it e d

for his Irish forebears TO settle
here in freedom and oppor-
tunity.
And feeling that way he
could not join in an act of po-
litical opportuniSm which he
believed would let his country
down.
And so Jim could not go along
with a third term.
To him a third term was a
betrayal of the traditions Of
constitutional America.

limited tenure in office; il en-
couraged the despotism of ir-
removable bureaucracy.

So Jim Farley broke with the
man whom he had made Presi-
dent of the United States.
TNIE fact is that by 1880
Il Franklin d. Roosevelt was
not an extraordinarily notable
figure either in the Unite d
States or in Democratic politics.
He had been rescued from
what seemed an inevitable and
tragic oblivion by AL Smith and
John RaSkob who had made him
governor of the state of New
York because Al Smith desired
a worthy successor TO himself
worthy from the standpoint of
Democratic Party politics.
lie had made a fair to mid
ding good governor--but Jim
Farley, the original inventor of
the convention blitZ--set out 10
make him the Democratic can
didate for the presidency.
To this Irishman then came
honors and dignities and power.
Yet when he left the post

Our troops made some peace
time experiments with it, but 1t
became apparent that on a long
coast such defense could not be
strong EVERYWHERE.
From this grew up the doc
trine that a coast should be held
lightly. but kept under constant
observation.
The enemy landing would be
admitted, but the mass of the
defending army held well back
from the coast. would move
rapidly to the invaded sector and
repulse the invasion before it

decisive battle.

FORWARD ARMY STEP

A forward step in the relations be-
tween the Army and the Negro popu-
lation was taken when the Army mo-
ton picture division held an official
preview in Washington of "The Negro
Soldier" portraying the historical
role of Negro Americans in this and
previous wars.
Made under the supervision of Col.
Frank Capra of the Special Coverage
Section of the Army Signal Corps, the
film is to be used in Army Orientation
Courses and released for public dis
tribution
A historical background for the pic
ture traces the role of the Negro SOL
dier from Crispus Attucks, the ex-
slave hero of the Boston massacre, to
Robert Brooks, first American soldier
of the Armored Force to die in this
war, on Dec. 8, 1941, in the Philip
pines.
The film will be released nationally.

ABUSE EN- TODAY, PRAISE
EN- TOMORROW

Lincoln's birthday always comes on
Feb. II, perhaps because he was born
on that day. And, as radio so-called
comedian says, it always falls on a
holiday.
This year, our daily newspapers ap-
parently ganged up together and de-
clared that Lincoln was great guy,
as if most of US didn't already know it..
The papers extolled Abe's virtues to
the nth degree, especially the fact
that he didn't run for fourth term
Seems they want us to know what
great guy Abe was and FDR aint.
However, anyone can go to the Con-
gressional Library and see copies of
our daily papers and read about the
presidential campaign of 1864. And
what the daily papers of 1864 said
about Abe, somehow doesn't agree
with what our daily papers say about
him now.
In the 1864 editions he was just
about seven kinds of skunk, and what
the daily papers are saying about
FDR isn't circumstance to what they
said about Abe then.
All of which adds up, we suppose,
to the idea that what our daily papers
say about political candidates don't
mean nothin' to nobody.
They spank 'em today and kiss 'em
tomorrow.

Before cashing ANY check, ask
yourself this question: "IF THIS

ABOR QUIsLINGS and slave

T ABOR QUISLINGS and slave
L. drivers are meeting justified
fate in occupied countries of Europe,
the international Transport Workers
Federation says. News reaching the
federation's New York office by cable
from London gives the names of three
victims of underground labor, the first
being Quisling Labor Minister Kalivas
of Greece, who was shot by the Greek
underground in Athens, January 27.
Kalivas had some experience in the
Quisling business, since he betrayed
Greek labor once before in 1886. He
was nominated by the trade unions as
director of the Athens labor exchange
and kept that function even after
Metaxas destroyed the free trade
unions in 1886. Then he entered the
Metaxas Labor Ministry, headed by
the trade union renegade Dimitratos.
Kalivas became Labor Minister in
1943.
The director of the Loyden labor ex-
change was shot by the Dutch under
ground January 3. A week later the
German director of the labor ex-
change in Marseilles met the same
fate through the hands of the French
underground.
Traitors of the labor movement al
ways were few. Up to the invasion of
Europe they only met scorn and hate.
Now they have to pay for their crimes
