Good Public Servants

IDEALLY disinterested public serv-
~ ants are not too common in any
community at any time.
Detroit has lost a pair of the very
first rank within the past week.
Yesterday George Engel, auditor
general of the city, announced his
retirement after more than 40 years
of public service.
In 1900 he became secretary of
the police department. Subsequently
he was city controller, commissioner
of public works, chairman of the civil
service commission and a member of
the city council for two terms. He
became auditor general with the ere.
alton of that post seven years ago.
John T, MILLEN, director of the
u Detroit Geological Park, notified

If they get these benefits how

Now that veterans of World

meant to retire. He was appointed
director of the zoo in 1927 even before
its completion. Since then under his
shrewd guidance it has become one
of the finest geological gardens in
America.
Detroit was fortunate in having
in its employ for so many years two
men like Millen and Engel. Both of
them were imbued with deep devo-
ton to and pride in their city.
In no respect were they opportu-
nists as are so many persons in public
employ. They were, in manner,
career men and the proof of their
ability is that they survived change
after change of city administration.
The more men of this type we can
get in public service the better De
troit will be run.

Tapping L. s. Generosity

Keynes freely admitted that Great
Britain, which is to be the number 2
member of the fund, was currently
UNABLE to make arrangements to
permit Allied and neutral countries
to get tangible payment on some
Sl2,000,000,0O0 of sterling balances,
which Great Britain had incurred in
making foreign purchases.
This figure does not include in
debtedness on lease lend, and of
course omits the unpaid debt on &C.
count of the World War 1 debt to
the United States treasury.
Toward the end of the first week
of the Breton Woods conference,
two British cabinet members in dis
patches from London were quoted as
saying that Great Britain was
broke"
at is no use to beat around the
bush," said Ernest Bevin, minister of
labor eve haze spent everything in
this struggle, and | am glad zoe
haze"
Lord Woolton, minister of recon-
struction, likewise declared "For
half a century or more, De spent our
savings overseas. NolU tUe haUe sold
all We haze and haze incurred oUer-
seas debts double the amount of our
precious overseas Investments"
IN THE circumstances, representa-
L tives of the United States should
be circumspect in making postwar
commitments.
While in the struggle against the
Axis continues, there is no difference
of opinion among Americans about
fighting the enemy directly and
through the aid of associated nations.
After the war, we should be a
good neighbor in making clear to all
nations that progress depends on
prudent economic behavior, NOT ON
SUBSIDIES FROM THE UNITED
STATES.
Our treasury cannot give any
thing away in the postwar world
without diverting from American
farmers, workers and others part of
the products they make, to which
they and their families are entitled.
1t is fortunate circumstance that
Congress will have the final right to
accept or reject the proposals of the
technicians.
It should be the role of Congress,
in making an audit, to look beyond
the technical complexities in the pro-
posed mechanical schemes for world
prosperity to the simple economic
truths which underlie the behavior of
individuals and nations.

POLITICAL
PARADE
BY George
RothweM Brown

CHICAGO. July Is - The
~ Dixie headache" has sup
planted the customary "conven-
ton feet as the big ailment Of
the Democratic gathering on
Lake Michigan.
The more the party managers
study the agenda of the Texas
delegation the greater the mi
Crane.
Some of the Lone Star de-
mands. az expressed by formal
resolution adopted by the regu-
lar state convention on May %.
appear to be hopelessly beyond
the possibility of compromise.
The strong left-wing influence
in the convention city, and the
knowledge that all the Demo-
Gratis really have to do is to
ratify the fourth-term nominal
ton already made by the Com
munists under the leadership OF
Earl Browder, has deeply Of
Tended not only Texas but a
formidable group OF sister
Southern states.
I EFT-WING factions OF the
~ New Deal are seeking a
strong pro-Negro plank in the
national platform. to offset the
bid made by the Republican
party for the votes of a mi
nority which was formerly Re-
publican. but which went New
Deal under Roosevelt.
Here they have come into
head-on conflict with the Texas
delegates WHO are instructed to
prevent the adoption by the
convention of any plank that
would tend to bring about So
cial equality among our people"
The indications are that II
Texas loses this fight before the
resolutions committee it will
carry the battle to the floor OF
the convention for a free-for-
all that will do fourth-term
hopes no good.
Texas has done nothing mega
tive this time. She has in
structed her delegates in definite
and positive language. Here
are some Of the causes Of the
big headache precipitated by the
Lone Star demands.
The regular" Texas dele
gates are instructed:
ITO obtain a plank denouncing
all efforts to change our form
Of government by usurpstion Of
power" even though it might
be through a "bloodless revo-
luton"
This language is aimed in
general at the Roosevelt New
Deal, and specifically at Vice
President Henry Wallace, and
his recently-expressed talk of a
"bloodless revolution"
THE Texas delegates are in
4 structed to demand a plank
supporting a constitutional
amendment that would make
the qualifications for members
OF the Supreme Court the same
as those for president aAd-v1ce
president, who under the Con-
stitution must be native born
Americans.
This plank is aimed dellber-
ately at Justice Felix Frank
furter. who was born in Aus
tria. It's adoption would be a
slap at the President.
The Texas delegates are in
structed to take all steps nec~
essary to restore the two-thirds
rule"
If they follow these instruc-
tions they will, if necessary.
carry this fight to the floor Of
the convention.
The Texas delegates are in
structed. in effect, to demand a
plank repudiating the Supreme
Court decision in the Demo-
cratic primary case.
There is enough political dy-
Mantle in these instructions
given to the Texas delegates by
the regular state convention at
Austin to blow the national
convention apart.

TN A secluded valley in the shadow
L of the presidential range of White
Mountains, delegates of "A invited
nations to the monetary and financial
conference at Breton Woods, N. H.,
are considering ways and means of
tapping after the war the reservoir
of Uncle Sans well known gener-
osity.
While the American delegation is
talking in highly idealistic terms
about a new world of peace and
plenty, the guests from overseas are
dexterously maneuvering to take
care of their own national interests.
Despite many differences on de
tails for the proposed international
Utopian financial structure, the
guests of the United States from all
the united and associated nations
are on the surface showing extreme
courtesy and Difference to the United
States.
For example, without dissent
ing voice, they elected Secretary
Henry Morgenthau, who is chairman
of the American delegation, as presi
dent of the conference.
This evidently reflected the view
that this was little enough to do for
our government, which was provid-
ing the party, and which would pour
more treasure into the proposed
international monetary fund and the
proposed international bank for re
construction and development than
any other.
Into the fund, the United States
will contribute some 80 per cent of
the initial capital, and also assumes
a contingent moral liability" to
lend additional dollars as needed.
The fund will deal with exchange
transactions growing out of short
term foreign trade, and the bank will
clear intermediate and long term
loans.
T ORD JOHN MAYNARD
IL KEYNES, foremost exponent of
money manipulation as means of
economic planning and chairman of
the British delegation, revealed that
the capital loans would be advanced
by a relatively few countries,
CHIEFLY THE UNITED STATES.
Thus, despite new theoretical
labels, the old pattern of Uncle Sap
appears to be re-emerging.
The United States is supposed to
merge such financial strength as it
may retain after this devastating war
with the monetary poverty of the
associated nations.
