We cannot give 15-year SEN
tences 10 men AWOI and en-
gagged in stealing army goods on
an active war front. while we
hang a man in a training camp
in this country for not wanting
to carry a rifle.
We have got to get a sense
Of values, from the top to the
bottom ranks of this nation Of
ours. or this nation is going to
20 insane and then you would
see plenty of hangings and no
one would even bother to ask
why.
1t has happened in other
countries.
There are plenty of men,
many Of them younger than
Henry Weber and few of them
as useful as he was in war in
dustry--who have been excused
from carrying guns for reasons
of conscience, and who have
been granted what Henry
Weber has been denied. namely.
the privilege of carrying a
Stretcher instead OF a gun.

many such cases.
Many of them belong TO the
Seventh Day Adventist Church.
II seems that if you have an
organized church to stand be-
tween you and the army, your
conscientious scruples are re-
spected, but if you are just an
American who has scruples
about killing but does not have
a formal religion 10 cloak them
in, then you will be hung.
repeat: we need a sense Of
values. We need them badly.
We need them quickly.

THESE DAYS

IN 1910, 100000 male and fe-
4 male persons were employed
in the United States in domes-
tic service.
AS there are about $4,000 600
families in this country, the do
mestic servant problem is obi
ously marginal.
II is an occupation principally
in the larger cities where
mama cannot put the baby out
on the porch.
Except for the very rich who
favor themselves with buffers,
footmen and such, it amounts
10 A cook or a maid so that
mother has some help in the
kitchen and in cleaning up and
so that if she goes out at night,
somebody will be at home with
the children.
a mothers job in a large city
IS tough under any circum-
stances, as an old maid, Of
course, cannot know by per-
sonal experience although II
she has a good eye and kindly
heart, she can see something OF
the problem.
Children in small towns can
play outdoors and can go 10
school unattended.
In the larger cities, they must
be quite grown-up for that be-
cause crossing streets Is a
hazard.
NOW along comes Mrs. Shelby
~ Cullom Davis who calls her.
self chairman of the National
Council on Household Employ
ment who foresees the total
unionization of domestic serv-
ants on a 40-hour week basis.
She says that her organization
works in close cooperation with
the YWCA which lives on con-
tributions from middle-class
families who may be forced 10
do without children II they have
TO live in large cities.
The lady admits that house,
work cannot be abolished, but
she wants il raised at least TO
the dignity Of a profession or
trade, like the law or medicine,
! suppose, but without going to
college.
Or, maybe, housemaids are to
20 to Harvard and get an M. A.
or even a Ph. D. majoring in
how to make bed.
She says:
Its time we proclaimed an
Atlantic Charter for domestic
servants" which must mean
freedom Of expression, telling
the missus TO go to hell because
she, the cook, was out with her
boy friend the night before and
has a big head. Look at this
paragraph:
"She will work s or 8-day
week. She may not appear at
all on Sunday -. on Thursday
she'll leave at the dot OF noon,
no matter how much Is left un-
done. And she'll quit at her
agreed time each evening, even
