But this is by no means the sum of Sweden's

lions which, in thousands of cases. have meant the
difference between survival and death for Nor

This all adds up to something the worlds top

their particular problems and needs. She is in
moral position to take leadership in bringing
Scandinavia back to the peaceful pursuits which
for centuries have been the wont and practice of
the Scandinavian peoples.
The offer clearly implied in the quotation from
" Aftonbladet should not be overlooked or
spurned by these leaders charged with the awful
responsibility of bringing an abiding peace to this
war-torn world.

The Bigness Of the President

The essential bigness of Franklin D. Roosevelt
has never been better shown than in the selection
of Republican members of the commission to rep
resent the United States at the World Security
Conference, to meet at San Francisco on the 25th
OF next month.
The evidence is not so much in his decision to
make our representation bipartisan. That is
right-and so just and wise and necessary-that
leader who would not have made such decision
would have no just claim to position of leader
ship.
Proof lies, rather in the identity of two of the
Republican representatives chosen by the Pres-
dent.
In naming the four Republicans he had wide
choice. He could have picked obscurities and nom
entities and still he would have been able to lay
claim to broadmindedneSs. This he did not do.
Two Of the Republican group were taken from the
top drawer OF the opposition party; each Of these
two-Conmander Harold Stassen of Minnesota
and Senator Arthur Vandenberg Of Michigan
already have been considered as presidential TIM
Der in their party In all probability, their
will be among the top-flight leaders when their
party dominates in 1913. In asking them to serve
their country at San Francisco, President Roose-
Welt has given not only testimony to their great
abilities; he has given them mighty '48 build-up
which may well result in one or the other winning
the Republican presidential nomination. if either

for the Republican Party criticize the President
for not having offered the positions to former
President Hoover and Governor Dewey. Critics
assert that in passing over these two Republicans
one an eX-Preisdent, the other now titular leader
of his party, the President was merely exercising
a personal grudge.
Those with even short memories, if they care
to remember, will admit that in last falls presi-
Dental campaign Candidate Dewey, himself, gave
the American public the best proof of his unfit
ness to represent them at the World Security Con-
ference Uncompromisng, unfair, narrow, ego
centric, Dewey's presence at San Francisco would
have been better calculated to start war
than to settle the one now are waging
Hoover's record-and his thoughts and mental
activations-are in period which is dead. To
have chosen him to represent the American peo-
people in the world of today would have been
about as sensible as to open an Egyptian tomb in
the Valley of the Kings in search for radar
technician.
No person honest with himself believes Mr.
Roosevelt will seek to succeed himself for fifth
term The only possible contingency upon which
such a belief could be based would be that the
war would still be on. Either the war will have
been ended before 1913, or four more years of it
will have left the world in such state of exhaus-
ton and decentralization that speculation concern
ing political matters of that period of the future
We're idle indeed.
Yet President Roosevelt a thorough party man,
will hope that Democrat will succeed him in the
White House. He will work valiantly to that end.
When, in order not only to provide for biparti-
san representation in the Security Conference but
to choose as representatives two of the ablest
leaders in the opposition party who are most
likely to bulk large presidential aspirants in the
next Republican national convention, one or the
other of whom may become the toughest sort of
opponent for the Democratic nominee, whoever he
may be, the President has proved that he is big
ser than any party-big enough, as all Democrats
knew, to be President of ALL the people of the
United States.

VINO To Draft Workers

K Collins, chief of the War Nina
power Commissions placement
bureau at Washington announced
tonight that, effective Monday, the
Nations employers in non-essen-
tail industries will be requested
then forced-to give up their work
ers to top priority industries.
Any employer who refuses to
comply with the new VINO order
will be referred for action to
the War Production Board, Collins
said. However, he said he hoped
this would not be necessary and
that employers voluntarily would
comply with the program.
He said the VINO would take
the following steps:
l. Make Nationwide manpoW-
er inventory.
2. Let community businessmen
know what the manpower need is.
3. Ask, and, if necessary, force
employers to surrender their help.
Collins said the order stemmed
from a lag in munitions produc-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. g.
(AP) - National Selective
Service tonight ordered the in
duction of occupationally de-
ferred men, including those
below general Army physical
standards, who quit their es-
sential jobs without draft
board approval.
The action followed swiftly on
President Roosevelt message to
Congress recommending sweeping
new job controls. He urged Ma
tional Service legislation, action to
make more effective use of 4-F's,
and a draft of nurses for the arm
ed forces.
Designed to halt 'job-skipping"
once deferment has been obtain
ed, the order makes five million
men, aged Is through 81, subject
TO military duty under what Selec-
tive Service calls drastic ally

The Army will fix special draft
quotas for this group, and such
inductees will be assigned to other
than regular Army duties. The
Army did not divulge the lower
standards nor the proposed size OF
the special draft calls.

Secretary of State Edward R. Stet-
