suddenly find they have to let
their hair go back to its natural
shade.
Few women ever admit they
dive their hair. And even though
their friends may suspect It, or
feel sure color of the. hair IS
phoney they have no proof.
So think how the artificial
blondes would suffer if, at last
their suspicious friends could 60

SECRET is SAFE
And think of the surprise of hus-
bands who married blondes and
suddenly discovered they were
married to brunettes. For men sell
dom suspect any except the most
obviously bleached hair of not be-
ing real. A good dye job will fool
a man every time. Even if another
woman suggests that head of hair
is dyed, a man just thinks he IS
listening to Jealous SANDER.
So the freezing" of blondes
seems like the most sensible solu-
tion to serious feminine prob
lem.

have said what he said on Friday
if he had understood the import
of what Mr.. Hull was going to say
on Sunday.
How is any one going to find out
what the French people want? On
ly by holding elections. But some
body has to register the voters,
print the ballots, set up the polling
booths and count the votes. Who
can do that? The President acted
as if he did not know.
But Mr.. Hull's statement makes
it clear that the French commit
tee is to do it. Whether you then
call the committee a provisional
government, an interim govern
ment, a temporary authority is
largely a matter of words. In fact,
said Mr.. Hull, the French commit
tee under the presidency of Cen
eral de Gaulle is to conduct the
civil government of France until,
in accordance with its own pledge
and plans it has held an election
to choose a new government.
Now the Presidents remarks on
Friday expressed a long-standing
attitude of his own which has had
most unfortunate practical conse-
quences abroad. 1t was we'll known
that he did not wish to accept
the policy which Mr.. Hull has an
nounced. Some weeks ago it was
even said semi-officially through
the correspondents inspired by the
White House, that the President
had vetoed the proposals which
the War Department had asked for
and the State Department had ap-
proved. We were told that the
President wanted General Eisen-
hover to pick and choose the
Frenchmen with whom he would
deal when he got to France.
This incredibly dangerous propo-
sal has had its repercussions in the
new quarrel between General de
Gaulle and General Giraud. The
reasoning of the French at Algiers
is self-evident: the President, they
said, intends to make General Els
enhoWar choose the first civil gov
eminent of France. 1t will there
fore be not the French committe
but his colleague, the French COM
mander in chief, who will tell Gen
eral Eisenhower what F'renchmen
to deal with when he gets to
France. This means that General
Giraud will do the picking and
choosing. General Giraud is the
man who picked Pucheu and Pey-
routon. Because Mr.. Roosevelt's
policy would give Giraud the mi
tial control of civil affairs in
France General Giraud must be
deposed as commander in chief.
If French civil affairs are to be
determined by military men, then
let themilitary man be General
Charles de Gaulle, the president of
the national committee.
Thus Mr.. Roosevelt's desire to
thwart General de Gaul1e has led
to the destruction of General Gil
raud and new divisions rathe.. than
greater unity among the French.
This is inefficiency in the conduct
of diplomacy.
1t seems a pity to have to dwell
upon matter of this sort when
ones every impulse is to applaud
Mr.. Hull's speech. 1t is very good
speech. But the good effect of it
will be temporary unless the &C
tual conduct of our. diplomacy be-
comes much more coherent and
much more efficient. We might
hope that it will become so if the
President and MIR. Hull make it
their duty henceforth to render an

THE Weirton situation in itself
L is not very important. What
is happening there has happened
all over the United States. The
Go has never been a genuine
labor movement.
1t is an administration agency
for the political control of labor.
as Sidney Hillman proves every
day.
II is an arrangement for sup
porting the President in return
for which the authority of the
administration is used 10 sup
port the CIO.
The pa ticular company, the
particular plant. the particular
body Of workers do not matter;
what does matter is that
through this agency both man.
agement and labor are being
politically organized into mass
political arm of government.
I HAVE before me an an
L nouncement appearing in
The Labor Union of Dayton. o.,
in which this point is made:
Regardless Of the outcome
~ the present election. the po-
litical action committee drive
has released enmities and ILL
will agains trade unionism
which are certain to poison
American industrial lations
for years To come. 1t has
touched Oft political rancors
which will make the post
election tasks Of all unions
FL rs well a. CIO-vastly
more difficult
"It has been the pride Of our
American way Of life that our
politics has hitherto been free
from the hateful class divisions
which have wrecked free gov
eminent In other lands. Men
have been free to make their
own political decisions without
coercion from any source. This
has been the vitalizing thing In
our American system"
And Maurice Franks, editor
Of the Railroad YardmasterS of
North America. writes:
at II an absolute insult to the
intellect and independence Of the
American workman, whether
unionized or not, TO be treated
as though he were slave; some
thing tn he bought and sold at a
price. The price that the labor
leaders have for this bill Of
goods is patronage, not mainly
for rank and file, but patronage
for these politically minded
labor leaders. -. :"

THESE DAYS

THE Go has for seven years
i sought 70 organize the Weir
ton Steel Co. and has always
failed.
The Go insists that the indie
pendent union al Weirton is
company union and that the
management forces those who
work there 10 join this union,
but this has been tested time
and again and has only proved
that actually nobody can force a
worker 10 join an Independent
union.
On Aug 10. the NLRB cited
the Weirton Steel Corp for con-
tempt charging that the Weir
ton independent union is com
pany-domnated. This will be a
fight 10 a finish and knowing the
attitude Of the Weirton workers
AS l do, ! would say that they
will no more be forced into a
Go union and become enslaved
10 the politics Of Sidney Hillman
than they could be forced into
an independent union.
