BY the time the San Francisco
meeting begins its deliberations
it would be fair to assume that the
general public will have heard
enough about its purpose to have
considerable curiosity concerning
what goes on at the negotiations. In
other words, it will become must"
news and press and radio will ham,
mer loudly on any doors that are
closed too long. Mr.. MacLeish's
theories will have an excellent op-
portunity for a very thorough test.
If the doors don't open he will be
decidedly on the spot.
The reason he insists on this bold,
frontal attack on the "open COW
enants" problem is because he be-
ieves the world is confronted with
a condition and not theory.
Modern electrical communica-
tion," he says, "has in fact created
the Parliament of Man about which
Tennyson dreamed"
'It is possible to dislike the Par
Lament of man." he explains.
There are those who do dislike it
who would like to return to the old

Ireland's Musical Bridge

A curious kind of bridge spans
a stream in northern Ireland. It's
parapets are surfaced with
marble produced in that section
of the country, and when piece
of stone is brushed along, musical
notes something like those of the
xylophone are produced.
The wide arch amplifes the
s'music' and it can be heard by
people considerable distance
away.

Washington, d. C.
By the time these lines are in print
the biggest publicity job for the big
gest institution the world has ever
planned will probably have been
launched by the heretofore least
publicity minded department OF
the government-the state depart
ment. It is a build up for the
meeting of the United Nations to be
held in Sar Francisco, April rs.
I am writing this a few minutes
after returning from the office Of the
man who is planning the program,
Archibald MacLeish, assistant Sec
rotary of state.
The location is journaistically IA
miliar to me and it lies nearby. Only
one block, then across Lafayette
park, across Pennsylvania avenue
and then along almost another
block of tome very familiar mar
BILE corridor. I have had many
interviews in that ancient, impress
sive rococco state department build
ing, but never one in which MEM
Der of the staid and conservative
institution stuck his neck out farther
and with such abandon. MacLeish
is the father of the plan I mentioned
the plan to tell the country, by
means of every available publiciz-
ing medium, what the international
gathering on the Pacific coast is all
about.
Assistant Secretary MacLeish has
announced as his creed, mo for
eign policy can succeed in these days
unless it has the full understanding
and support of the people,"
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1945-03-08

system of foreign relations conduct
ed exclusively through the chancel-
leries in secret codes. But it is inn
possible to ignore that the Parlia-
ment of Man is now convened in
continuous session. thanks to public
channels of communications, without
rules of order, limitations Of de-
bate, or privileges of the house and
those who refuse to take account Of
its proceedings may wake and find
that those proceedings have taken
no account of them"
Of course, the press has been
fighting to achieve just such kind Of
free news sources as MacLeish is
talking about. They almost had to
push back bayonets to get within
shouting distance of the information
al food conference at Hot Springs
which produced UNRRA; they have
fought and occasionally won, for
slackening of the censorship on war
news. But I attended luncheon
not long ago when MacLeish out
lined his theories and I saw more
than one mouth 60 down in cynical
doubt of his possible success.
He is aware of this feeling, aware
of the pressure Of tradition and Of
habit, but he intends to go ahead.
And one thing that gives him more
aid and comfort than anything else
is the widespread and happy adrnis-
sion that the report on the Yalta
conference was SO much more frank
and detailed than anybody had
dared hope.
Perhaps MacLeish's neck is not
out too far, after all.
One of the greatest difficulties
which any governmental institution
meets in deciding on a course Of
action which doesn't have to be SUBJ
mitted to an actual vote either Of
the people or of congress, is an abil-
ity to judge public opinion. Ere
quently, the tendency is when in
doubt leave out"
The army pursued that policy in
regard to the acceptance of Negro
nurses for long time. Finally, Ell
Their by force of necessity or good
guessing, it ruled that Negro nurses
were eligible. A few weeks later
along came the results of a poll TAX
en- by the National Opinion Research
Center of the University of Denver
a nonpartisan, noncommercial or
ganization whose reputation is high
among the professional pol1-takers.
1t confirmed the arrny's judgment
by revealing that the majority of
those white, civilian adults, men and
women, young and old, rich and
poor, in cities, towns and rural
areas, questioned, said Eyes" to the
following question:
IF you were sick in hospital.
would it be all right with you if you
had a negro nurse, or wouldn't you
like it,"
The majority-57 per cent said
Eyes," l per cent was undecided.
Of the ''yessers," 8 per cent said if
they had a choice, they would take
a white woman.

Sets Stage for
Open Covenants

To put his words into deeds he
has planned a program which will
set the stage at San Francisco for
"open covenants openly arrived at,
that theory, so noble in it's concep-
ton, which Woodrow Wilson pro-
claimed but found himself unable to
put into effect when it came to for
eign affairs. MacLeish has gone all
the way out on very tenuous limb
and he realizes where it will leave
him if the meeting in San Francisco
crawls into cavern Of secrecy and
pulls the cavern in after it.
Foreign relations" are tradi-
tionally established and carried on
by diplomatists who are trained to
work in the dark. Like mules In
mines, they probably would not be
able to see the most persuasive ar
gument if it were displayed in the
light Of pitiless publicity. And, it is
freely admitted, it would be highly
impractical to carry on all interna-
tional relations in front of a news
reel camera and in earshot of press
and radio. One doesn't wash ones
linen, soiled or otherwise, in public
and the board of directors doesn't
meet in the presence Of the stock
holders.
But MacLeish believes there can
be compromise and he is going to
risk the unpleasant reaction that
might take place if it fails. He is
going to insist that the dignified and
discreet state department use up
to-the-minute press agent methods
to prepare the people for the San
Francisco meeting. And then, if the
meeting goes underground on them
it will just be too bad, MacLeish
says.
The public is already keenly in
terested. Hundreds of organizations
have besieged the department with
questions, demands for material for
debate and discussion, explanation,
Interpretation. Schools, churches,
labor unions, business associations
all want information on what really
happened at Dumbarton Oaks, Te-
heran, Yalta-and what's next.

also makes qualified veterans elig-
ible for loans under the Bankhead-
Jones Farm Tenant Act. Mr.. Pat
ton said the latter act "best meets
the needs of veteran farm pur-

The union recommended that
funds for the purchase of farms by
veterans should be provided under
the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant
Act at the terms that loans are now
available to tenants-a 3 per cent

period and a variable repayment
plan.
The size of the loan, the union
proposed, should be limited to the
average value of efficient family
farms, as determined by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, in the locality
in which the farm is located.
The union program also would

of livestock and equipment at a

They exchanged a furry Of blows.


But Ken didn't have the colt for
long. He had been put into the
home pasture, to be close at hand
in case his wounds needed tending.
Flicka and her FLY were put there
too as soon as the little foal could
run at her mothers side. There
sprang up between Goblin and his
little sister one of those strange at
tachments that exist between horses.
When he was near, she must leave
her dams side and wander to him.
He would stand, his high head
curved and bent to her. She would
reach up her little muzzle to touch
his face and neck.
The boys carried oats to them
morning and evening. One morning
the Goblin was not there. Rob ex-
amined all the fences. ''I'm begin
ming to think Doc must have been
right, and that he can jump these
fences" he said frowning. "Unless
he rolled under that place on the
south side where there's little hol-
low"
The boys saddled up and rode out
to hunt for him. He was not with
the yearlings, nor brood mares, nor
the two-year-olds. He was nowhere
to be seen.
This time Ken was not so un-
happy. The colt had come back
once-he probably would again. The
new fortitude was sufficient for this
strain upon it, although when he was
ready to say his prayers that night,
it did cross his mind to ask the Al
mighty If He thought it was quite
fair to be an Indian giver? He sup
pressed this impulse as being not
entirely respectful and, possibly,
prejudicial to future favors.
The little FLY grew and thrived.
Her hoofs and bones hardened. She
came to know the family, the dogs,
the cats, and to be interested in all
their conings and goings.
Nell named her Touch And Go.
Rob Mclaughlin was crazy about
her. She meant something to him
the justification Of his theory of line
breeding. His eyes were very keen
and blue and narrow as he looked at
her.
"Now there's a little FLY that's
got points," he said. "Look at those

from the start. He would let her
mouth few grains at time. With
