This Changing World
Bv Constantine Brown

Besides Prime Minister Eamon de
Valera of Fire, there have been many
prominent persons who have pleaded
with President Roosevelt and the State
Department for the American Govern
ment to announce that Rome will be
spared. Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire, among others, wrote personally
to President Roosevelt asking him to
arrange committee of Allied and Ger
man officers under the Craftsmanship
of neutral, preferably an appointee
for the Vatican, to decide that Rome
was an open city and consequently
should be spared the horror of air bonn
bardments.
All those who have been urging the
White House to adopt such a step are
aware that the much-criticized slogan
of Herr Won Bethmanf Hollweg, Ger
many's chancellor in the last war, that
necessity knows no law" is correct in
this war when military necessities are
involved. But they want to shield
America from being denounced many
years after the war as having acted
with "vandal flerceness," phrase used
by one Of the high-ranking prelates in
the United States in letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Il \
The whole matter appears to turn on
whether Rome is being used by the
Germans as military base. In order
to avoid any future controversy and
for the record of history. the prominent
men who have appealed for the forma-
ton of mixed investigation commits
sion want to establish fully the facts
as to whether Rome is a military base.
If such commission did not establish
these facts the opposition would say
that we damaged Rome wantonly, while
our side would maintain that Rome was
being used as the principal center of
German communications and supplies
for the southern front.
Already Berlin,s propaganda is sin
Cling out the United States, charging
that we intend to destroy beyond repair
the center Of Christianity and civiliza-
ton. The German propagandists say
That In order to preserve the monuments
and the precious works of art in the
Eternal City the German high command
has taken far-reaching measures. The
Nazis say that the German high COM
mand has for long time forbidden the
strengthening Of troops within the city
as well as>the setting up Of supply in
stauations there. The one exception.
according to Berlin, is the availability
OF permanent hospitals for German and
Allied wounded. Only a small German

The Country Safe
From the Chanute Tribune.


Any one who witnessed the inspiring
spectacle of $50 farm boys and girls
gathered here yesterday in All fes-
tival could hardly reach the conclusion
that the country is in danger Of some
ism from within. This ever-increasing
membership of farm boys and girls is
the most concrete evidence that for the
next generation there will be an or
ganization with its feet on the ground
dedicated to clean living and good
government, with enough influence to
serve as a check on insidious trends
that might seek to destroy our form of
life. The principle Of right thinking
instilled into the minds of these youths
at the formative periods of their lives
will remain with them so long as they
live and their constructive thinking will
have a beneficent influence on those
with whom they come in contact.

Monpower 4mpusse

We seem to have arrived at a
curious and anything but reassur-
ing impasse in the organization of
our manpower for effective prosecu-
tion of the war.
Broadly speaking, there are three
known points of view with respect
to this matter, and one which has
not yet defined itself. There is first
the official military viewpoint, which
has been expressed and re-expressed
by such men as Secretaries Stimson
and Knox of the War and Navy De-
partments and Admiral Land of the
Maritime Commission. They have
pleaded time and again for legisla-
ton which would invest the Gov
ernment with adequate authority,
to be used as last resort, to assure
the production of the weapons
needed by the men who have been
and who will be sent into battle.
Their latest appeal, issued this week
and bearing the tacit Endorsement
of General Marshall and Admiral
King, cites abundant facts and fig
ures to support their blunt asser-
tion that as people we "are not
meeting many of the labor shortages
in critical programs in the midst of
a war for survival"
At the other extreme is the point
of view expressed by spokesmen for
such employer groups as the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
and the United States Chamber of
Commerce and the representatives
of the large labor organizations.
Their position, as clearly as it has
been defined, seems to range from
a belief that legislative labor con-
trolls are unnecessary to one of out
right and unqualified opposition to
compulsory service legislation of
any kind.
Somewhere in between these two
Is the position of Congress, which,
to the extent that it has been defined
by such groups as the House Military
Affairs Committee, falls just short
of being incomprehensible. Accord
ing to this group, the military Off
cials have no need of new authority.
If it is found impossible to persuade
the needed men to enter war indus
tries, the thing to do is to drafts
them and make them perform
"menial tasks" around Army camps
and hospitals. The reasoning behind
this position seems to be that the
objective Is to make things as un-
pleasant as possible for potential
war workers, not to get them into
the jobs where they are really
needed.
1t seems evident that there is no
way Of reconciling these three view
points, and, as the pressures OF war
develop, choice will have to be
made among them. This will result
In a clariflcation of the fourth and
really controlling point of view
that OF the American people. If
they become satisfied that the judg-
ment of the military leaders is the
correct one, then the legislation
which these men say is essential
to the prosecution OF the war will
be passed. And, conversely, it will
not be passed unless and until it
becomes clear that the people want
1t and will support it. Unfortunately,
the indications are that this public
support will not be forthcoming
until the error of our present course
has been confirmed in the forfeited
lives of American fighting men.

America First TODAY.

America First Today.
To the Editor of The Star:
There still seems to be no distinction
IN the minds of the greater part of the
public between Gerald L. K. Smiths
so-called America First" party and the
long -diSbanded America First Commit
tee-and because, mainly, the news
papers do not care to go to the trouble
of making the distinction plain. Gen.
Wood, the former national chair
man of the disbanded organization has
tried to get publicity for a statement
disavoWing any connection with the
Smith groups, but has been able to get
no more than local notice. Wendell
Wilkes recent statements that nobody
bearing the approval of Gerald Smith
or the America First Committee could
ever be elected President of the United
States, was careless utterance in that
1t implied that there was no difference
between the two movements.
Nobody, under our form of govern
ment, can deny the Gerald Smith fol-
lowers their right to preach or assemble.
I am not passing Judgment on their
doctrines here. But as former officer
of the liquidated organization let me
repeat that there is no connection what
ever between the America First Com
mittee and Gerald Smiths political
party which happens to have appropri-
ated name which never was copy-
righted that Gerald Smith never was
speaker for the America First Com
mittee, and that, so far as 1 know,
Gerald Smith never was a member of
the America First Committee.
Whether isolationism was right or
wrong, time will reveal eventually; but
In the meantime let the public be in
formed that not single responsible
speaker or official of the now defunct
America First Committee is active in
any project today but that of winning
the war, saving our country's prestige
and backing up our valiant boys.

The cut, effective Oct. Is. will
