despotic hand Of the Communist
dictatorship clutches more than

IF PRESENT plans are carried
i out, there will be no discus
sion about the disposition Of
territories and other settle
ments resulting directly from
this war.
In simpler English, Stain

smaller nations remain In the
position Of being picked up by
the Communist carpet-sweeper.
The brighter aspects Of the
situation all have been played
up in the news.
Westward Is the natural and

turies.
The hourglass of time has
sifted its sands over ancient
Tyre and Sidon, Carthage, Ath-
ems, Rome, Venice, and then
western Europe. First the Med
iterranean Basin, then the At.
lantic-now the Pacific. This
becomes the hope of civiliza ton
as Europe dies-her cities in
ruins, her population unable to
perpetuate itself.
Perhaps San Francisco, rather
than Vladiyostok, will prove to
be the hub of the great Pacific
wheel.
Although only a century old.
San Francisco has more person.
ality than most world capitals.
Right now, the shadow of the
hammer and sickle falls across
its famou s Golden Gate, but
events and popular desire may
brush aside the weak giving Of
palsied fingers.
This hope San Francisco holds

DEAR s. w:
OBVIOUSLY, your utual
" disposition is 10 be married
Immediately, for ardent as well
as practical reasons.
You are stayed - but i'm
patiently--only by hypocritical
respect Of the straitlaced con-
vention which holds that nice
people don't marry again in less
than year following the death
OF husband or wife.
I say. 'hypocritical respect"
because II you truly penerated

would feel no desire TO buck
the rule.
You would see no delicate.

You would serve out the
traditional year Of mourning"
as a matter Of course.
This convention, like many
another inherited from the past,
is more concerned with pre-
serving appearances than ac-
commodating realities
Because OF its phoney value,
Il has come, in recent years,
10 be honored more in the
breach than in the observance
by honest individuals Of aristo-
cratic character - those who
combine independent judgment
with purity Of purpose.
So my advice is 10 plan your
marriage for early summer.

I EFT this be clear: This article
~ is another one of those
which does not criticizs what is

being done.
l have before me a letter
signed by Paul V. McNutt on
the stationery Of the War Man.

This is a matter that has to
do with questionnaire.
A citizen, small business
man. employs nine women.
three men, aged 81, as respec-
lively and a AZ. which informa-
ton he gladly supplied me.
He would have given the in
formation 10 Paul V. McNutt
and the War Manpower Com
mission except that he resented
the tone of "tremble and obey"
This citizen is told:
"Wilf you please MI this ques-
tionnaire at once and return IL
TO this office within 72 hours 2"
The QUESTIONABLE. which I
have. wants TO know all about
the citizens affairs. including
employers association affilia-
tions" which is none of any
body's usiness in a free
country.
On the whole there can be no
objection TO providing most OF
the information required except
il takes time out from small
business employing IL persons.
MIR. McNUTT dealing with the
Nl QUESTIONABLE makes this
statement:
%. While there II no statu-
tory requirement that Mr.. -
must return this questiennatre,
you will recognize that IL is only
on the basis OF Information such
as was requested of the -,
that the war manp0wer commits
sion can establish employment
ceilings on q fair and equitable
basis :"
That is bad government. 1t
is one OF those request ar
rangements with teeth in it, as
/ shall show.
In theory. we are govern
ment by law but in practice we
are becoming a government by
request with a big stick behind
every request.
For this is what Mr.. McNutt
says:
". Wilful refusal Of an en-
pIoyer TO return the question
naire would he considered by
the War Msnpower Commission

plicsble War Manpower Conn
mission employment stabilixa-
tion program and might lead IN
the withdrawal from the unco-
operative employer Of any Or all
privileges and services which
the War Manpower Commission
would otherwise extend TO
him."
IN OTHER words, Mr.. McNutt
Il says that he has no legal
right 10 force a citizen to fill
out the questionnaire but II the
citizen fails to comply with his
request, he'll knock his brains
out.
1t may be war-weariness or
the Washington atmosphere or
imitation OF Hitler or some
other foolishness that causes Of
hcials TO make such threats.
