Mr.. Vandenberg's Speech

Senator Arthur Vandenberg, Republican and
pre-war isolationist, helped launch the Senate's
foreign policy debate with speech that merits
the attention and admiration of all friends of
International postwar peace.
He was specific. He proposed an immediate
treaty among the leading powers to demili
tarize Germany and Japan permanently. This,
he suggested would remove the fear of Axis
miltarsm and the doubt of eventual American
cooperation which apparently are driving Brit
ian and Russia toward course Of unilateral
and bilateral agreements, and power politics.
He was practical. He proposed to allow the
President prompt authorization of force to car
ry out the treaty. He also proposed eventual
functions Of the Dumbarton Oaks plan calcu-
lated to cancel some foreseeable objections by
'perfectionist'' colleagues in the Senate.
And, as an influential Republican, he charted
a course Of unity and action for his party. His
program is one of positive accomplishment,
not negative opposition. 1t promises will
ing, constructive partnership by the Senate
minority in the great and fateful work ahead.
In short, Mr. Vandenberg probably did lot
to renew lot of Wavering faith in the Con-
gress Of the United States.

clear to the wage Garner, the capitalist, the
housewife and the employer, that there is no
mythical means Of making jobs either by in
dusty or the gevernment-that it is the peo-
pie themselves who, by their own acts, create
the conditions that make or destroy employ
rnent earnings savings and government.
While industry must furnish the jobs and
will do all in it's power to accomplish that
end, the people, who in turn, are the workers,
the investors and the government, have the
solution of industrial problems that create en-
ployment, in their own hands.
Industry in the United States represents
America-not few stockholders. The people
must realize and realize soon, that neither in
dustry nor government be more success
full than the people will it to be- Industry is
doing a tremendous job in focusing public at
tention on this issue.

Hard To Please

President Roosevelt spoke glowing words Of
praise for France in his recent message &c
Congress. Yet General de Gaulle's biographer
has expressed bitter disappointment that the
President did not mention h general b.
name.
Gov Thomas Z. Dewey has been taken to
task by Democratic leaders OF the New York
state legislature for proposing legislative pro-
gram that the Democrats themselves have
been trying to put across.
Obviously the President would have dsap-
pointed General de Gaulles biographer even
more if he had failed to praise France And
Gov. Dewey would have been taken even more
seriously to task if he had proposed pro-
gram contrary to Democratic inclinations.
In politics especially, it seems that one is
damned if one Goes and damned if one doesn't

Postwar Travel

In a recent advertisement one of our do.

table Of flights from San Francisco to Calcutta.
In 1929 this airline TWA. inaugurated the first
transcontnental service using planes. The
elapsed time Of these runs with train travel
at night was about IS hours from New YORK
to Los Angeles.
After the war, according to present plans
a TWA passenger will be able to go from San
Francisco to Vienna or Milan in slightly less
time than the New York-Los Angeles time OF
16 years ago.
We think that's encouraging and pretty won
derful. And we would think that it was even
more wonderful if someone could guarantee
To us that mutual international cooperation,
synpathy and respect would be increased in
direct proportion to the increased speed Of in.

Cpl. Bill Sadler, who once had his

Most of the wounded Doughboys
don't know the regulations of their
ward attendants. They only know
their division is taking care of
them-which is lot better than
being shunted around from one

The officers still don't know

they do know that the command

WASHINGTON, Jan. delights
have burned late in the executive
offices of the White House in these
first weeks of the new yea, as
the President and his staff of as
sistants have worked on the re.
ports and messages which tradi.
tionally are sent to each new ses.
sion of Congress.
This time, following the budget
message and the annual report on
the State of the Union, there is
also an inaugural address to pre-
pare. 1t will be the fourth time
that Franklin Delano Roosevelt has
taken the oath of the highest office
in the landau unprecedented phe-
nomenon that will inevitably loom
large in our history.
Actually, of course, it is no more
than confirmation of profound
changes which have occurred. Dur
ing Roosevelt's IL years in office,
the character Of the Federal gov
eminent has been altered. 1t is
difficult to see how any future
president can go back to the rela-
lively simple governmental struc-
ture that existed up to 1880.
Partisans will argue, from now
until Kingdom Come, as to whether
this revolution was the result of a
conscious, deliberate course pur-
sued by Franklin Roosevelt, or
whether he merely helped to guide
the Nation along path that had
become inevitable in the light of
changes in our economy which &C.
Cured long before the blustery day
in March of 1888 when F. D. r.
was first inaugurated. l believe
that in the long perspective, Roose-
welt will be seen to be more effect
than cause.
His bitterest hate1s have regard
ed him as sort of god of the
machine deliberately forcing the
country into radical and untried
ways. History ultimately, it seems
to me, will show that, more often
than not, circumstances dictated
the road he took.
The President has said that this
fourth inaugural address will be
shorter than any of the other three.
It will be part Of private cere-
mony to be held with wartime

CONCERNING THE CROW

Why crow honks when he is in flight is

from his rookery soaring home to it in the
