ON EQUAL TERMS
WITH THEIR SUPERIOR
FELLOWS

The most of the rest are norm

very superior above about il
number to the very inferior ant
inferior below. A very small
number furnishes idiots" ane
"imbeciles" on the very bot
tom rung, and for want of q
better term) "geniuses" on the
very pot. These geniuses may
be born anywhere, but they
forge their way to the top Or
near 1t, and they furnish our
theories and systems of living.
From the groups below them
comes the cooperation which
makes their leadership effective.
TO make a democracy, all
these groups must be given leg
islative protection. The top
rung and the very superior need
protection to use their genius
in the development of facilities
and methods essential to the
progress and comfort of all.
What American begrudges the
presence of 5 or 6 hundred mil
llonaires among these groups il
their services are worth it?
The superior and the normal
need protection in small proper
ty rights and savings.
The inferior, and especially
the very inferior, need not only
legal protection but legal pro-
vision for advice and assistance
in getting jobs, holding jobs,
applying their earnings to SUBJ
slstence needs, and getting a
of comfort out of their
pittances. They need legal pro-
vision for supplementary aid in
stress, sickness, and old age, and
they need public facilities for
recreation and culture. Without
these advantages they will not
even know enough to follow the
leadership of the best, and out
If their misery and lack of in

A PRESIDENTIAL UNDERSTUDY
(San Diego Union)

(Odll Diego OHlOH)
One of the difficulties encountered by
Harry S. Truman when he was called
upon suddenly to take over the presi-
dency was that he without information
on many of the foreign commitments of
his predecessor. Members Of the white
house official family, such as Harry Hop
kins and Judge Rosenman, had far
more Intimate and comprehensive knowl-
edge of the Roosevelt plans and policies
than the man who was to become presi-
dent.
While Mr.. Truman seems to be getting
along very we'll thus far, the situation
confronting him upon his assumption of
the presidency should be avoided in the
future. The vice president should share
responsibilities with the president and be
kept fully informed on all commitments,
plans and policies of the administration
particularly as they relate to world
affairs.
At the present time, unfortunately, we
have no vice president; the secretary of
state, in the event of the death or inca
pacity of the president, would succeed to
the presidency. With this contingency
in mind, it would seem that the secretary
should have the same recognition as that
suggested for the vice president.
The presidency is a job so big and i'm
portant that an understudy should be al
ways available-a real assistant-presi-
dent, thoroughly conversant with the
work of the office, instead of figure
head perfunctorily presiding over the
senate.

CARTEL PROBLEMS
clos Angeles Times)

CLOS Angeles Times)
That the United States congress should
take steps to protect the American COM
petitive system from being over-borne by
revival of the bad features of inter-
national cartel systems may be admitted,
without at the same time admitting the
charge of Sen. O'Mahoney that such sys-
TENS contributed materially to the war
time technical knowledge of Germany and
Japan.
II Sen. O'Mahoney means to condemn
the reciprocal exchange of technical in
formation across national borders, he is
wrong. In the first place, technical in
formation cannot be locked up; and in
the second, its exchange is as beneficial
to one nation as to another. American
companies trade some chemical discov-
cries to German companies before the
war, it is true, but they got back infor-
nation or at least equal value.
Our synthetic rubber program, for ex-
ample, was set forward vastly by this
exchange-Buna was based on German
formulas. Tungsten carbide, without
which American war production could
not have been speaded up to become the
marvel of the world, was German dis
covery. We might have found a substi-
tute in both cases. and probably would,
in time, but much time was saved because
we did not have to.
1t would not be to our advantage to
stop such trading in ideas and processes.
1t probably could be demonstrated that
we made far more effective use of what
we got than was made of what we gave.
The results of the war indicate that.
