Retreat From Dictatorship

sonable proposition that the only
question of power involved was the
power of requisition" as authorized
by Congress.
This power, Mr.. Biddle added
is neither unlimited in scope
nor unrestricted or unreUietDable in
operation.
"If the poWer is exercised under
a statute, it is subject to the linita-
ton imposed by the statute"
TN PLAIN language, the attorney
L general tacitly acknowledged that
Congress is the source of "all legisla-
tive powers. y
Obviously, therefore, Congress
has the power to direct the actions
of the President, including the issu-
ance of executive orders and "direc-
tives," - a presidential usage on
which the attorney general had
leaned heavily in his previous asser-
tion of unlimited" presidential
powers.
llC oClAulO VI montgomery w oil "
& Co. was AN ACT of dictatorship.
80
THE reasoning by which the attor-
L ney general first attempted to
justify the seizure was an assertion
of POWERS of dictatorship.
That is the position which the
attorney general has now abandoned.
But this does not mean that the
whole issue is ended.
Congress has delegated two COM
mittees to examine into the question
of presidential power.
Both committees have properly
announced that they will proceed
with their task.
Clearly, it is the duty of Congress,
as the legislative and representative
branch of the government, to make
sure that executive "power" will
not again be abused as it was in the
seizure of Montgomery Ward & Co.

THE New Deal abandoned more
l. than the Chicago plants of Mont
gomery Ward & Co. when it with
drew it's agents from the premises
and permitted the legal management
to take over again.
It also abandoned Atty. Gen.
Biddle's utterly astounding and
utterly dangerous interpretation of
the wartime powers of the presi-
dency.
In his argument before u S. Dis:
trict Judge Holly the attorney gen
eral had asserted that the President,
as commander in chief of the army
and navy, has constitutional"
power to seize any business or prop
erty, that he may exercise this power
without authority from Congress,
that Congress has no power to pre-
vent such action by statute, and that
the courts lack jurisdiction to inter
fere with such unlimited power.
A FEW days later the attorney
"A general, having heard from the
country, reversed himself, sparing
the courts the necessity of doing so.
He filed a brief in the Montgom-
cry Ward case in which he humbly
said:
"The United States is not con-
tending that the President possesses
broad, unrestricted and unreason-
able power in time of Uor to confIs-
cate the property of all the citizens.
Mr.. Biddle conceded that the
Fifth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton prevents confiscationF Of prop,
erty, except for public use" and
with the payment of "due compensa-
ton; and he further conceded that
the courts may estop arbitrary" or
unreasonable" or "capricious' ex-
ercise of power by the President.
Having thus rejected his own
original contention, the attorney gen
eral advanced instead the more rea-

Boston High Schools Stress
Education for Usefulness


was introduced by DR., Dyer who
went to Boston from Cincinnati,
where it was successfully in opera
ton.
In eight Boston high schools, boys
who otherwise would not be able to
finish high school because of poverty
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO and
at the same time acquire DEFINITE
SKILLS and more than full years
EXPERIENCE in the field.
Each of these schools specializes
in one field; East Boston, machine
york; Hyde Park, machine shop
practice; Brighton, automobile me-
chanics; South Boston, sheet metal
work. Roxbury Memorial For Boys,
printing; Jamaica Plain, agriculture;
Charleston, lectricity y, and Dor
chester High, woodworking.
ZACH school has a co-ordinator
IL who is the link between the
school and the various industries
which cooperate. The students are
placed in STEADY JOBS for the
entire summer vacation, and their
progress and attendance checked.
They are paid the PREVAILING
WAGE.
When school reopens, two stu
dents alternate on each job. Group
A goes to school one week, while
Group B works; the following week
the b group goes to school and the
AS take over the job.
Meanwhile they carry on full
academic high school course. The
accent With this group, however, is
on mathematics and sciences rather
than on languages.
ERANCIS Balm, head of the CO.
operative system in the Boston
schools and also of the war produc-
ton training program, said that the
results have been amazingly good.
He explained that these boys re-
ceive a certificate at the end of four
years, but that it is not diploma. In
order to get full high school
diploma they must put in FIFTH
YEAR Of full-time work on a super
vised job in industry.
Their achievement and attend
ance are reported upon by their en-
ployers and regularly checked by the
school, and if they fail to pass they do
not receive diploma. Few fail to
make good he said.
"This is one of the few instances
in Which educational authorities
recognize EXPERIENCE and the
successful EXECUTION OF A PAID
JOB as part of EDUCATION," he
said.
"This year, at the request of the
War Manpower Commission, we
allowed senior boys and girls to go
into industry in January, and granted
them a high school diploma, but it is
contingent on their ACHIEVEMENT
and ATTENDANCE. in the jobs in
Which they Were placed.
"f they don't make good as
workers they must come back and
finish the course"
MR.. Balm remarked that one good
AVl thing the war had accomplished
was that it made the public con-
scious of the dignity and Importance
of working with ones hands.
IF there eUer tDas time when
vocational education has come into
its oUn in this country, THIS IS THE
TIME," he declared.

trained young men in technical and
industrial skilis that the government

found it necessary to train hundreds

howeUer, am strongly in faUor of
COMBINING ACADEMIC STUDY
WITH SOME FORM OF SKILL OR
CRAFT"
MR.. Balm said that the experience
1Vl of the teachers in shop work
who are all state-approved instruc-
tors who have worked successfully in
their own field for at least eight
years before teaching, proves that
discipline problems seldom arise in
the shops.
"Youngsters that are really in
terested in their work don't cut up in
class, and they are deeply interested
in their shop problems. More of
such training, l believe, rDoutd go a
long Oay in solving the juvenile de-
inquency problem"
The students Of Boston high
schools working in war plants last
summer earned substantial sums.
The smallest wage last summer was
$l4 week, the largest 500. The lat
ter was pay for 40-hour week, and
the young man in question earned as
much as $125 week regularly with
overtime.
Wages and hours laws are, Of
course, strictly complied with. In
some jobs, on machines, students
must be Is to work. In others, 16 is
the minimum age, and in still others,
boys and girls under 10 may work
shorter day.
MR.. Balm believes that many
AV1 school departments and colleges
will make plans for more co-opera-
tive work and for more EDUCA-
TION FOR USEFULNESS after the
war, but that many of them are wait
ing to hear from the government as
to what to expect in the way of SUBJ
sldized veteran enrolment.
In regard to educating for useful
ness, he told little story. It con.
cerned the man who built the Brook
lyn bridge. This engineer, a bril-
liant college-bred person, wrote a
book for bridge builders, in very
simple English. But he titled the
book "De Pontibus,' the Latin for
about bridges"
In the foreword he explained.
NO doubt you Wonder at the Latin
title, he wrote. "WeU, | studied
Latin for tUo hours a day for eight
years Dhen vas an undergraduate.
and this is the first chance euer got
to use ii"
M < c HANIC ARTS HIGH
41 SCHOOL in Boston combines
the regular academic subjects with
actual application of knowledge to
technical problems
The students do not work outside
the school, nor does it claim to teach
trade. According to Leo Daley,
principal, its aim is the training in
facility and dexterity" of young
men who will go on to such colleges
as NJ. |. T. or into jobs in engineering,
craftsmanship, architecture, aero
nautics, etc.
In the machine shops everything
is done from blueprints. Students
must know their mathematics in
order to work out the shop problems.

Pie? Will you bear with me at
times when I'm moody and diff

do that?"
ooh, yes, yes! Oh, Simon, I'll

Simon and Cherry walked on
together, her hand drawn through
his arm. ''I've been wondering II
it was fair to ask you to marry
me until the war is over. Some
times I've told myself it isn't. But
for this doubt in my mind I'd
have asked you sooner. You see
darling, everything is so uncer-

For answer he caught her to
him again and kissed her. He'd
start at once to- look for cottage,
he said.
These days were unbelievably
happy for Cherry. It was fun be-
ing engaged. The other girls fuss
ed around her, wanted to know
all details.
A fortnight slipped by. Simon
found an unfinished cottage
near Durham Beeches, not far
from the airdrome, where he
could commute to town each day.
Cherry, whenever possible, would
be there with him.
A week before her wedding
Cherry, with a days leave before
her, set off for the cottage. The
furniture was being sent down
from storage and Cherry with the
help of Mrs. Greene, local wo-
man who was going to do for
them, was going to settle it in.
By the time Simon was due to
arrive in the afternoon they'd
nearly finished. It wasn't large
cottage and the curtains and car
pets had been taken over from
the previous owner and this, in
sisted Mrs. Greene. was more
than half the battle.
Now, as they both stood look
ing around, Mrs. Greene with ap
probation, Cherry felt an odd
sensation surging around her. She
remembered that it was with

bles that Denise had lived as ST.
mons wife. The sight OF them
brought her back wildly. Simon
had wanted to sell all this stuff,
but it had seemed so extravagant
not to make use of it. Now Cher
nv wished she had let him have
his way.
She turned and ran upstairs to
the bedroom. A taffeta petticoat
draped the dressing table, hiding
the many tiny drawers in which
Denise had kept her little person
al things. Here she, too, when she
was able to snatch a few hours
with Simon, would hide her little
personal oddments. Idly she open
ed one drawer and then another.
Suddenly her heart seemed to
stop beating. A large solitaire
diamond, winked up at her in an
unexpected shaft of sunlight
With trembling fingers she took
the ring out of the little box
where it lay snugly on its bed OF
purple velvet. She had seen it SO
many times before, that unusual
ring! The first time when Denise
had announced her engagement;
the last time, she'd thought, in
that waiting room after the &C
cident.
The color drained from her
cheeks. She put it back in the box
and closed it swiftly, trembling all
over as the truth shatteringly
dawned upon her. Here was
Denise's engagement ring. There
was no mistaking it. Then that
other ring on that poor charreo
finger must have belonged tc
someone else. Her mind reeled
then slowly and painfully cleared
She knew now what had happen
ed. Simon and she had been
wrong when they'd believed Den
Use to be dead. That other woman
had not been Denise. Therefore
somewhere-God alone knew
where - Denise was alive at this
very moment.
She heard the sound of a car
turning down the little lane that
led to the cottage. A moment Ia
ter it stopped and there was the
honk of a horn. Simon had come
down from town as soon as he
could to help her arrange their
new home together.
She heard his step on the little
flagstone path.
The next moment he was in the
doorway, looking interestedly
around. "You and Mrs. Greene
must have worked like blacks. "
