wrote his portrait of John l..

Lewis is pictured as. a man
loved by tens of thousands, and
hated by as like number; a coal
miner who lifted himself by his
bootstraps to the top rung of
labor-and a man who died in

labor.
At no time since the advent of
Samuel (Boss) Gompers has a
labor leader been the subject of
discussion as has Lewis, the
former A. F. of l.. leader who
turned overnight into the boss
Of the c. l. O., and who took
labor circles by storm during
the early years of the organiza-
ton of that body.
Wechsler, a former labor edi-

Is a prideful thing; but the un-

that meeting grew the Commit

THE THIRTY YEARS WAR

Thirty years oeo, on Aug. a. 1914, the German
army entered Belgium and began the war which con-
tinues today The restless, troubled years between
1918 and 1889 were not peace, but deceptive 'u'
in which some prepared to the fight while 9TH
ers looked on in an almost fotoI lethorey.
Thirty years oeo there began what most OF the
world thouoht was another Of EuroPes wars in which
convenient "incident" served as excuse for trying
to settle some more of Europe's intermnobIe diPIo-
motto souobbIes But power-hunery Germany bent
on world conquest knew it was to be peoples war,
a bloody, devastating, total war tough with new and
deadly instruments of science and deos.
The first conflict taught America thot science
had shrunk the world until no country could be sure
thot might live undisturbed in peace and freedom
while force that opposed peace and freedom sought
to impose it's will elsewhere the globe. We learned
the lesson slowly. Some thought at the ormstice,
thot war was oone forever Others believed that if
war returned to Europe, it need not concern US.
- Thot clash Of American opinion prevented our
Joining the League Of Nations. Doubtless we should
have done SO, and lent our power and prestige and
ideosm to the preservation Of peace. Yet it is not
indisputobe that we would have succeeded. We can
see now that the League, in principle, stopped just
short Of the strong measures needed to put down in
cipent war, and, in practise, stopped considerably
shorter.
There was good deal Of eynicisn as we'll as
ideoIism in the League There were too many stotes
men who wanted to ply power politics the same old
wqy There were too many Northumberland ogree-
nnents and understandings Old hobits and preiu-
dices we're too strong when the showdowns came in
Monchuro, Ethiopia, Spain and Germany 1t is not
at all certain thot presence could have altered
the course Of events.
The second outbreak has fought us no new les
sons. The world knew in the q years Of ornistee
that the resumption of war would be even more
bloody and devastating. The world knew what coun-
tries would have to be put down, and why. America
knew, even as she tried to persuade herself other
wise, that the world had shrunk still smaller and
that Escape wos impossible.
The modern Thirty Years War is drawing to
close. This time the prospects for peace ore
promising Today, at least, know that if the job
is not done right this time will come, and
bring with it not only the end Of progress, but the
end Of civilization we know it. Thot is the sober,
literal, friehtfuI truth
