the hide off a soldier with a
tongue lashing, the guy who is
ready with his dukes, a slave

But what is a top sergeant"
I've never heard the term used
here, although it is used in
some places.
A top sergeant or a top kick
is a first sergeant, and a first
sergeant is the highest non-com-
missioned officer in company.
He's the man who stands in be-
tween the company commander
and the rest of the outfit, and

WHETHER Roosevelt or
w Dewey is elected president,

M n + n e ~ NoOSeNe't Va
w Dewey is elected president,
the war will 90 on. II will 60
on to a military decision in our
favor. Whether Roosevelt or
Dewey is elected, Germany and
Japan will suffer a defeat, but
the peace will be difficult and
confused.
Whether Roosevelt or Dewey
is elected, the peace will be
equally confused and difficult,
the only difference being that
Roosevelt will cover up his sur
prises and disappointments and
even chagrin by cloud OF
secrecy. whereas Dewey is likely
TO uncover all the facts Of the
situation for the people to be-
hold.
The alternatives in this cam
paign are not internationalism
versus isolationism. It is long
past too late for that. We are
faced by more specific facts OF
operations. To give one exam
pie of the type Of problem that
we face, we shall have to decide
what share of Americas ship
ping We shall give TO England.
Norway, Holland and other
countries to keep them going
and their people from starving.
We shall have 10 decide on the
manner of giving.
Roosevelt has supported the
concept of lend-lease which IS
giving without stint and with
slight repayment in some in
stances and even slighter pros
pect of repayment in most.
WHAT then are the alterna-
w tives7
Basically, Mr.. Roosevelt has
adopted as his own a current
trend throughout the world
away from representative, or as
some call il. parliamentary gov
eminent, but in the direction OF
autocracy supported by a vast
bureaucracy OF experts. Mr..
Roosevelts New Deal. like Sta
Inns Soviet autocracy or Hitler's
Nazi dictatorship, holds that
man is essentially incapable of
governing himself; that he must
be ruled and controlled, for his
own best interests. by an INTEL
lectual elite class--and within
this elite class there Is one
philosopher who is omniscient,
inevitable and indispensable. in
whom is centered all the wis
dom, competence and power OF
the state.
THIS trend is so universal
Il that it represents a mass
reaction to eighteenth and nine
teenth century liberalism. In
Europe, this reaction was a di-

Red Sox May Go To Baltimore

Boston, Feb. 18 -(UP)- Plans were being considered by the Bos- ton Red Sox management today Tor the team to hold its full spring training sessions in Baltimore this year.
