Exit the Orator

We feel constrained to prophecy, perhaps an nounce the death of the of oratoy. The noble tradition of Demoshenes Cicero William Jennings Bryan and sandy Fourth of July speakers has succumbed fear to science Specifically it is the victim of those duplicating machines
 We had noted the decline for time. But the full impact of oraorys perous position bore down upon us when we saw the pictures of former Sen Warren Austin and his audience the occasion of MT Waens speech be- fore the LIN General Assembly.
 There was poor Mir Austin, braveg speaking away And there were his listeners with heads bowed the ad vance copies of his speech which the duplicating machines had so swiftly provided Seldom has nattentive audience heard interesting and informative address It was as if Maurice Evans performing before gath ering whose every member had copy of Hamlet open on his lap.
 Not that we dsapprove of the duplicating machine It is indispensable newspapers and services enabling them distribute and set in type speech some hours be- fore its delivery Of course reporters s have to cover the actual address often happensthe speaker puts in few ad lib words But do think the speech might be withheld from the audience
 There is great deal of difference between hearing and seeing word The mind, in receiving statements from printed page is inclined weigh them in generally sober fashion It tests ponders or disapproves may rerace sentence paragraph seeking out flaws or eno ing thoroughly feicitous employment of the lan guage.
 It is fortunate for the publishers of books and papers, among others that the printed word carries special of certtude and permanence and that the eisure pleasure of reading from competition Yet 1t must be recognized that the be much exciting and dramatic bearer of tdings than the eye Try presenting some passages of contemporary beseers spoken daog from stage if you don't believe itD
 The eye and not necessarily competitors The orator need have fear of the senogapher than the radio has of the newspaper reporter care is taken put the before the horse We sen then have the desire read and confirm reenjoy But an oration should be heard first
 Would Ciceros eloouence have lived if every Roman ator had had advance handout would the handouts been thrown away and the hastenedO speech for gotten? How would Lncons address have gone over at Gettysburg Websers Bunker H everyone in the audience had been following the script to see the speaker mufed line changed a word?
 The duplicating machine is here to stay. But we fear that pleasure of listening good speaker and the n- centive being sacrificed to this indispensable Instrument The orator has become little than a schooboy who sngsongs his way through the reading les son. while the whole class follows and waits for him to make a mistake

Trunan'S CredO

WASHINGTON. Nov. I5- nlEAD - There was something almost pathetic about the Presidents Armistice Day statement promising and pleading for cooperation with the Republicans Toward the end of the declaration it was almost an echo of Emil Coue saying Every day in every way I will strive to do better and better"
 The President elaborated on this a little What he wrote on his slate was: "As President of the United States, I am guided by & simple formula: to narrow political considerations what seems to me to be best for the welfare of all our people"
 Naive as it may sound to a cynical sophisticate. that sentence probably came right out of the man from MissouTis soul and gizzard There probably never was a man in the White House who wanted more to do the right thing than Harry Truman.
 As the President reminded his press conference after reading the statement since Aug l5 l945 he has been urging an industrial armistice to pro- mote full production and save the country from chaos
 That date was when he first announced he was union leaders and the captains of industry couldn't put their cwn house in order without government policing The conference failed and the country through series of strikes that set reconversion back by months
 This is only one Of the disappointments and Illustrations Harry Truman has experienced. The to goat.

% YEARS or LABOR PEACE
CNew York TimesD

ANeG kOJk AlneS9
 The International Ladies Gar ment Workers Union is celebrating its twentieth anniversary of labor peace in this city with an award from Impartial Chairman Charles Poletti which will increase its mem bers' wages by an average of about le cents an hour. This raise, effec- tive Dec. IS, is the third the nGWU has obtained this year, in accordance with a cost-of living clause in the contract. 1t lifts the average income of 42O00 workers in the coat-and-suit industry to a range of $50 to s90 for a thirty-five- hour week. Some earn a great deal more.
 This is the fruit of forty-six years of labor statesmanship. under poli- cies launched by David Dubinsky of the ILGWU and the late Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated Cloth ing Workers IJGWU's record is one of cooperation from both sides. with union leaders giving attention to efficiency and production rates and employers seeing the evil of sweatshop conditions. The workers are obviously infinitely better of thaA their precedecessors were in 1900 It is not so often recognized that the employers are better of, too. Industrial peace, gained after hard fighting. has helped everyone concerned.
 It would be foolish to say that the only good union is one which never strikes. It is plain common sense, however. that an industry which can make its labor bargains with out strikes is in a more wholesome condition than one which cannot.

bers of Congress were interested in themselves and that he was the only one trying to think about the whole country, it was probably the worst shock he ever got in his life.
 He did little better on securing cooperation for a bipartisan, non-partisan foreign policy Congress went along with him on that. But on domestic pon- ces, it has been dog eat dog ever since v-J Day So, he is faced with hostile Congress again-a Re- publican Congress this time-pleaGing with all the of the unity that has been put into he handling of foreign policy to shape domestic policy.
 He won't get it. of course Congress will be opened in January with prayer and pious platitudes to work for the common good. Then the fight will begin.
 leading American manufacturer of motor trucks recently made the startling observation that, "T'he only reason have for believing that democracy may not in the long prove to be the best form of gov ernment is that We in this country never able to unite in times of peace"
 That's a crack worth thinking about The mpli- cation is that when we get into war we can unite and work for a common cause. forgetting completely differences in race, religion, social economic poe tical backgrounds Instead of that however in times of peace the American spirit breaks into million bits Maybe it's the turmoil, this constant competi- tive battling in free economy and free society, which makes this country great.

LAGUARDIA's FOOD FUND

Al the enc of the year the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration CUNRlR-A1 goes out oF business. We viii contribute no more trucks, locomotives or precious steel to build up impoverished Euro- pean nations.
 That does not mean that the need for food and other supplies has pass ed. Poverty is widespread and hun- ger stin stalks Europe. It will con- tinue until next years harvest can relieve it. Not only in Europe but in China and India millions are suffer ing from lack of food, and they can- not get any.
 Mr. LaGuarcia. UNRR.A.S ci- rector general wants a food fund of sa0o 900 900 to feed these people. He has made an impassioned plea to the General Assembly in his right for his fund. He even revealed that Marshal Stalin favors the continuation of an international relief organization and will contribute to the supply pool. Previously Russia has been on the receiving end while Ee contributed 72 percent of the relief expenditures. LaGuardis would reduce this to 4s percent. in the same proportion we are now contributing to the expense of the LIN organization.
 LaGuardia is fighting alone, be- cause Dean Acheson, speaking for our State Department, is opposed to his proposal to set up a smaller ver- sion of UNRR.A when it expires December 3l. Al the meeting of U.NRR-A- in Switzerland last sum- mer Assistant Secretary Clayton served notice that the United States would not approve longer life for UNRR-A. in any form.
 MT Acheson said that America should give relief but only to indi- ridual countries needing it. Ths re- lief would go to those countries which have shown their appreciation of American aid and would be with held from nations that have attack ed us. Apparently, Greece Italy and Austria would be on the approved list, but Poland. Yugoslayia. Czech osloyakia, the Ukraine and White Russia would be in disfavor.
 Just what will take the place of UNRR-A. is not yet clear. The question is sure to come before the new Congress for special apprOpria- tions. There, the whole matter will be threshed out, and the nations de- serving our aid will share our abund- anee What more can We do. and why should we do more? Relief is not and should not be made a part of inter national politics. regardless of Mir. LaGuardia's views in that direction. We are not in a position to waste any more money. especially on foreign

Trump the King

WASHINGTON, Ney. Is-Greens short history of the English peOple"-which wasn't so short at that-was a delight of many boyhood hours There marched before in elegant prose the grand process sion of British royalty but always with undertone of social significance that you could feel the people in the night, beyond the window.
 But John Richard Green has let our generation down. He did not prepare us for what happened in London this week
 British king announcing to Parliament further steps in the socialization of England
 It was an irony that Mir Green never foresaw from his quiet study well ne knew his history.
 We of course, know about these things these days. We know the king is but figurehead. We know that the cabinet of the Labor Government wrote his speech We are up on those things All he did was to stand up and read it.
 Mfr. Green would have felt natural and pleased, to see all the ceremony that came first just as it in his day and for many centuries before that But when the king finally opened his mouth it would have been too much for poor MT Green.
 Winston Churchill said once that he never intend- ed to preside ovep the liquidation of the British Em- pire. Nor perhaps did he nor the young king expect few years ago to sit by for the liquidation of British capitalism. But here it s Mir. Churchill can do noth- ing, and all the king can do is to announce the sur render written by somebody else
 So much of history is ghost written. The kings speech was the work of ghost writers So too was President Truman,s statement here the day be- fore. The skful hand of Charlie Ross was detected there. But there were unseen ghost writers for Mir Trumans statement too-those of the Republican Party now triumphant in Congress MT. Ross was only the medium.
