Socialism i'm ENGLAND

DRIME MINISTER ATTLEE has
l. delivered his carefully prepared
speech in defense of socialism before
the two houses of Congress of the
United States.
First he said-as the Marxists
are always saying-that his political
associates are the champions and
guardians of liberty.
He denied, for the record, that
Socialists are out to destroy free
dom, freedom OF the individual,
freedom of speech, freedom of re-
ligion and freedom of the press"
"The Labor party" he continued
"is in the tradition of freedom-ioUing
movements which have always ex.
Isted in our country -.
1--WE in the Labor party declare
that De are in line Dith those Who
fought for Magma Carta and habeos
corpus, lDith the Pilgrim Fathers and
With the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence."
Inc WorQS are all excellent.
RUT politicians cannot be wisel,
~ judged by words.
Their deeds are more important,
and even British Prime Minister
Attlee told the American Congress
what kind of deeds to expect in
England.
"You IUill see u.s." he said, "em-
barking on projects of notionaliza-
tion, on tOide. oiI-embracing schemes
OF social insurance -.
eve shall be rOorking out A
PLANNED ECONOMY"
A planned economy is in itself
denial of freedom.
The naturalization of industry
means the abolition of FREEDOM
OF ENTERPRISE, and how can
other freedoms survive where enter
prise is not free.
The naturalization of industry
substitutes BUREAUCRACY for

Thanksgiving
For a New Age

ORD God, Who led the hosts to battle forth
~ Accept our song and sanctify our feast
Yet keep us wakeful in the west and north,
And watchful, south and east
Lord, at the banquet when shout and sing
And smte the echoes with our hollow boasts
If it reach Thee with faint dersive ring
Forgive U.S. God Of hosts.
We thank Thee for the bread that grows BY grace,
And for Thy bounty shared, that grows not less;
We thank Thee that upon each free mans face
May shine this thankfulness
WE thank Thee for our grave-eyed gallant dead
W But for whose valor this feast we're fable
And for the ghost that eats ghostly bread
AT many solemn table.
Lord, never let the tale of their great glory
Turn bitter in mems mouths till it become
Tomorrows myth-a questionable story
Of mud and martyrdom.
Let us hold bright against times dusty chances
The foolish dreams the doomed audacties
The shattered wndmlls and the splintered lances
That strew the path to peace
I o, Thou hast put into Thy peoples hand
~ dread dominion time and space;
Lord help Thy servant still to understand
How humble is his place.
The monstrous laboratory moon we hurled
On Hiroshima shook souls AS well;
Now, as we raise from ruin new world
Lord, slam that door on hell,
Instruct our leaders in Thy wisdom Lord:
Counsel captains that they may be wise;
1t is thin hair that holds the sword
hairs breadth from eyes.

WASHINGTON TO Tokyo on
W A regular passenger flying
service in less that As hours
flying time,
This is the Jules Verne dream
being brought into reality today
by the army transport corps
Following new route from
Honolulu 10 Tokyo, the ATC
today lnaugurates a service that
will clip AT least seven hours
off the previous flying time.
The new rou e will take ATC
planes first to Wake Island, the
tiny atoll IN the Pacific where
American arineS wrote a
glorious page in history. From
Wake the planes will fy north
west TO tiny Marcus Island, the
former japanese possession now
held by American forces. From
Marcus the planes Will fly direct
10 Tokyo.
The old route. more than
1,200 miles longer, ran from
Honolulu to johnson Island, TO
Kwajalein in the Mariannas, TO
Guam and thence TO Tokyo.
The job of establishing fields
and radio stations on Marcus
and Wake was started soon
after VI Day At Marcus
Island the engineers had a real
problem. This tiny flyspeck in
the Pacific is not only hardly
large enough for a flying field
10 handle the giant C-54s which
the ATC uses but il is so oddly
shaped that il was terrific
task to build the right kind of
an alrstrip
Pilots who have set the biz
C54s down on tiny J o h son
Island. heretofore the smallest
landing field IN the Pacific, say
that landing on Marcus IS an
even tougher problem.
Over the new route a pasSen-
ger can board An ATC plane in
Washington Monday morning
and With an average break in
luck. arrive IN Tokyo Thursday
morning. This would include
losing a day passing the inter-
national boundary line. In re-
turning from Tokyo passenger
could start from there Monday
morning and arrive in Washing
ton Wednesday morning

and Seabees have done in build
ing establishments on such tiny
atolls as johnson Island is one
that rates the highest praise.
Recently. flying back 10 the
United States from Tokyo, the
writer stopped off for an hour

the fighting war. ITS symbol and
credentials were exploited for
purposes foreign 10 the provi-
slnnx of liz charter 10 an extent
which invited the enemy 10
repudlate the sign and all II
stood for.
Yet. like a New Dealer Al
Henry Wallace rally. Mrs. Meyer
applies such terms aS "authori-
tartan leaders and "gauleiters'
70 some Americans, otherwise
unidentified and thus unable 70

have not accepted her own pro-
posal that the Ped Cross aban-
don its own, separate drive for
money and her demand for q
council Of welfare agencies
LEW OF us have realized that
II was so bad as that, but the
long tour that Mrs. Roosevelt
made in the Pacific area under
Red Cross auspices did wreak
great damage 10 an institution
whose chief al that time should
have had the character 10 deny
her whlm.
Informally, il was tacitly ad-
mltted that command went
from the White House 10 the
late Norman Davis. an obllging
old household retainer, and that
he saw the splendid wisdom OF
Sucn mission and pushed II
through
Mrs. Roosevelt WIS 10 give 10
the Red Cross the proceeds of
her newspaper column during
her absence. but later the Red
Cross refused 10 say how much
this was and Mrs. Roosevelt
never told.
The fact that Mrs. Roosevelt
routed herself eventually 10 the
place where her protege, Joe
Lash, the Inveterate promoter
OF political youth movements.
was serving in the Pacific, and
the subsequent marriage OF
Lash 10 a friend of Mrs. Roose-
welt, under her social auspices
did not abate SUSPICION that the
Red Cross had been used as a
pretext.
There may be legitimate criu-
Clsms but II Is 10 the credit OF
the Red Cross that influential
voices in It's councils have tired
TO keep IL out OF politics and the
crude and greedy grasp of the
professional unioneers.

MRS. EUGENE MEYER,
Ava known 10 her public as
Agnes Meyer. for some time has
seemed TO sense that the Re-
publicans need an Eleanor
Roosevelt of their own and 10
be more than half willing 10
accept the nomination.
The latest symptom of this
lady's frame Of mind was re-
vealed last week when she de.
-nounced "reactienaIy" elements
in the American Red Cross be-
cause there has been apprehen-
sion lest the CIO and the AFL
pollute this idealistic organiza-
tion with the same sordid poll
tics and moral corruption that
gave us the Political Action
Committee, the political union
assessment for campaign -pur-
poses and the gallery OF rogues
who rule hundreds of thousands
OF American citizens through
chartered union rackets.
Mrs. Meyer is a rich woman
Of the formidable. determined
type.
In the course OF her remarks
about the Red Cross she re-
buked some very bitter and
very obtuse old fuddy-duddy
leaders who resent the fact that
labor Is gaining q foothold IN
the management OF the Red

The term "fuddy-duddy" 10,

Plan for Cancer Research
(New York Times)

New York Times
 Eric A. Johnston announces that. the American Cancer Society of which he is the President intends to raise $5OoO 900 to carry on its work larger scale. At least $2000000 of this will be devoted to research How this fund is to be spent appears in second announcement which comes from Dr. C. C. Little Managing Director of the Society. He out lines plan which should he carried out if for no other than that it substitutes organization and competent direction for the present individualistc approach Committees of specialists to formulate programs of research and submit them to an inde- pendent national body still to be appointed for ap- proval and for action. This national body will coordinate the programs and appropriate funds to carry them out conference of geneticists, sta- tisticians pathologsts, surgeons and public health officers held at Bar Harbor last September indicated the possibilities of assigning to committees of special sts the task of planning research and securing cooperation where there is now only chaos.
 Since the committees of specialists will review what they have accomplished and indicate how the frontiers of knowledge only within their own fields may be advanced, it is not likely that they will cover the whole problem of growth, normal and abnormal, from the standpoint of the chemist the physicist, the genetcist, the pathologst and the mathematical statistcian Inevitably gaps will appear that must be filled Fortunately, the national body of which the special committees will submit their proposals will do more than receive and carry out ideas that bubble up from the committees. It will have such large powers that it can make proposals of its own and carry them out Unless it does we should be only
 little better off than under the present system of foundation grants-in-aid.
 Because of the coordination of special committees and the national controlling body and because o1 the promise that the national body will do than sit back and approve dsapprove, Dr. Littles plan deserves the support of every scientist who is con- ducting research in cancer. The American Society for Cancer has done much good by organizing field army of 100000 women, which men may also join, to educate the public and to collect the statistical facts which enable cnicans and public health officers to keep pace with scourge that touches one out of every seven or eight of the population. Still more good will be done by giving research purpose and direction Education is indispensable, but salvation lies in the laboratory.

EXPLANATION?

Gen. MacArthur's Army friends in Washington have a unique ex- planation for his refusal to let Maj Gen. Norman Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army, visit Manila cn his recent inspection tour. They say privately that no suitable housing was available for Gen. Kirk. One MacArthur supporter, who is familiar with the Kirk in- cident, added, when you are a five-star general you don't have to give an explanation for what you do."
 Further details of Gen. MacAr- thurs refusal to let Gen. Kirk touch foot even on the Island of Luzon in order to inspect Army Hospitals there have now leaked i out. Kirk, as head of the Army Medical Corps arrived in Leyte with a staff of medical experts leady to place them in strategic positions in Luzon. Fighting was heavy at that time.
 As a courtesy to Macarthur, Kirk radioed him from Leyte Island that he was coming. He received in reply a message saying that his presence was not needed.
 Scarcely believing his eyes Gen. Kirk gave Macarthur a chance to change his mind by sending an- ether telegram which said in sub lStance: Don't understand your

THE TAX COMMISSION ACT

One of the fine jobs that the House of Repre- sentatives turned out the amending of the Tax Commission bill under the direction of attorney members Stanley McCutcheon and Warren Taylor.
 As originally written the bill quite clear The tax commissioner would have been appointed to begin work April l, 1945, and take tax collection duties on July l, 1945, allowing three months in which to equip office and select staff and also time for present tax administrators to turn their books.
 Then the House went to work.
 The bill was amended to provide that the act would not become effective until January l. 1946. Then another amendment inserted authorizing the Tax Commissioner to take steps toward equippng an office prior to July l, 1945
 Then the bill was passed.
 The bill, signed by the Governor still provides that all of the tax books to be turned to the Tax Commissioner by July 1, 1945.
 Yet apparently the act can't take effect until January 1946 The question is who's going to collect the taxes and keep the books between July and January l, period of six months?
 If all of the specified dates in the act are fol- lowed the procedure would be something like this

Washington scene. Two pretty Waves loaded with bundles were dismayed to see heavily bedecked admiral approaching them as they hurried along Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the Treasury Building. They saluted, while half dozen bundles slipped down to the side walk.
 Admiral William m Leahy, the Presidents military and naval rep resentative, smiled, picked up the packages, saluted and walked on.
 Senator Milton Young, newly-ap- pointed North Dakota Republican, was welcomed by a group of his colleagues at downtown Wash lngton club last week Each of those present had a few words of advice mostly facetious-to offer him.
 Crusty old Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska, however, a constant COP foe of the Administration, got rather serious in his remarks. He told Young that although the COP is minority in the Senate, it has a good organization and is able to make its weight felt.
 Our party organization is an important thing" he said But that does not mean that a mem- Ter is bound to vote with his party !; all times. On the really import ant issues Republicans and Demo- crats are expected to vote accord iig to their conscience-even if that means voting against party col leagues"
 When it came the turn of Pro- gressive Republican Wayne Morse of Oregon, former VILE member Morse remarked, Senator Young, I'm glad to see that twinkle in your eye. Y0ll need it. you need a sense of humor in the Senate.

message. Do you mean by your telegram number so-and-so that my assistance is not welcome?" Gen. MacArthur's reply was brief and to the point. It read: NO, repeat, no.'
 Kirk then got in his plane, boil ing mad, and came home.
 Note-The War Department for some time has been split into the pro- Macarthur and the an.i-Mac- Arthur schools. Many of the Gen. eran's own contemporaries don't like him, feel that he has never given sufficient credit to men who bore the brunt of the Pacific fight ing such as Gen. Krueger, Eichel- berger, Kenny, Arnold and others They also resent the fact that news dispatches from the Pacific must Lear the dateline Gen MacAr- thurs Headquarters" and point out that in contrast Eisenhower re- ouires no such date line and has gwen much credit to Generals Patton, Hodges, Simpson, Patch and Devers, all of whom are well known to the public. whereas few know the names of the Generals commanding MacArthur's armies.
 The fact that Gen. Kirk might have got in the headlines, some say, may have been the reason why Macarthur barred him from inspecting hospitals in Luzon. k
