Every craftsman receives a second
wage. In addition to his compensa-
tion for his labor by which he lives
and thrives there is that finer and
no less essential wage, satisfaction in
the fruit of his skill. Every artisan
worthy of his trade or profession,
toiling with interest and enthusiasm,
produces two results: The product he
is remaking into necessary COM
modify and the sense of personal
value developing from knowledge of
his ability. There are few, if any,
rewards for toll equal to the gratifi-
cation found in self-expression with
raw material and tools and knowl-
edge. These two wages are insep-
arabic because they are parts of one
single fact: That God gave men skills
and raw material upon which those
skills can express themselves, and in
which men have found and continue
to find keys to the nature OF the
universe.
Some men toll for the first wage
only, and that is their complete COM
pensation. They think in terms of
earnings, OF enforced labor, since, II
they would be respectable and self
supporting, they are obliged to toll.
Their ideas begin and end with the
amount Of their wage. Without pride
in their skills or concern for the ends
to which their product is to come,
they are wage slaves in very truth.
X II
Whatever the material wage may
be-and we must have compensation
for the work we dove are vastly
underpaid, If we do not have within
ourselves some pride in our task.
This pride of craftsmanship is not
egotism but pride that produces
better goods, tools, opportunities and
gives enrichment to every hour of
labor, significance to every piece of
material. So toiling men have found
joy which compensates for WEAKNESS
and the sense of compulsion and
strain.
With what measure ye mete, 1t
shall be measured to you again" is
something more than biblical quo
tation. 1t is the heart of the wage
system. be 1t in the field of the arts,

Jet Propulsion

The British are losing no time in
keeping up with air developments.
According to official announcement,
both their military and commercial
planes are to be converted entirely
to jet propulsion, and they already
have on order 3s-ton passenger
plane of the new type, designed to
cross the Atlantic at a speed of
nearly 600 miles an hour. Nothing
could better illustrate the revolu-
tionary change that has taken place
in aviation.
There is some reason to believe
that Britain leads the world at pres
ent in this field, but the United
States probably is not far behind, if
it is behind at all. At any rate, as
was made clear by the Army Air
Forces few months ago, our mill
tary planes are being converted to
the new type as fast as production
will permit. Our P-80 Shooting Stars
are already on duty in Europe, the
first of our jet bombers has gone
through test flights and. as demon
strated recently at Wright Field, the
AAF is rapidly developing other
craft of an even more extraordinary
nature. AS for commercial craft,
American experts like General Doo-'
little feel that they will remain con-
ventional for quite few years."
even though the British seem to
think differently.
Sooner or later. however, even
commercial planes are likely to be
jet propelled. The developments of
the war years have so changed the
face of aviation that it is difficult to
believe that the first successful fly
ing machine was built and flown not
much more than quarter of CEN
tury ago. The conventional planes
OF today, commercial as well as mill
tary, are an amazing advance over
the early ones, but they are in turn
either already obsolete or in the
process of becoming so-even the
mighty B-29.
A few years from now. with Jet
propulsion dominant. the planes
that seemed so marvellous to us dur
ing the war will be mere museum
pieres. This is certainty at SieaSt
as regards military aviation, and
there can be little doubt that COM
mercial aviation il it remains
conventional for a longer period
will make important advances as
well. Progress in the field as a whole
has been very great. and 1t will be

lack-many of whose finds" have been
presented to historical societies. libraries
and colleges, where they will be avail

ing history straight" recently acquired
treasure trove of "a hand-written and
autographed letters from Robert c.
Winthrop to Horatio King. dated be-
tween June u, 1885, and June n, 1894.
These well-preserved letters probably
eventually will be placed in the archives
of the Massachusetts, Historical Society.
Robert C. Winthrop was native OF
Boston, born May T.. 1909. He was
graduated from Harvard University
when he was 10, studied law with Daniel
Webster. was Speaker of the Massachu-
setts Legislature Q838- -1840), then Speak
er in the National House Of Representa-
tives in the 30th and 3lst Congresses,
and finally was appointed to the United
States Senate, July q, 1850, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Daniel Webster. A portrait of him by
Daniel Huntington hangs in the Speak
er's lobby of the Capitol.
Horatio King was born in Paris, Me.
in 1911, and at the age Of 10 went to
work on the Jeffersonian "a newspaper
in his native town., of which he became
editor and publisher. In 1899 he re-
ceived an appointment in the Post Once
Department in Washington. He became
Postmaster General in 1861. He later
practiced law in Washington, wrote half
a dozen books on political surveys and
travels and was secretary of the WASH
lngton Monument Association. He sur
vived his friend Winthrop by three
years, dying in 1897.
This correspondence shows that Mr..
Winthrop delivered the grafton on the
dedication of the Washington Monu-
ment in 1884 and on that occasion was
the first to propose a change in the in
auguration date from March 4 to April
30. Referring to the fact that WASH
ington did not take the presidential
oath until April 80, 1889, he said: Most
happy would it be if the 30th of April
on which the first Inauguration of
Washington took place in 1888, could
henceforth be the date of all future
inaugurations-as it might be by
slight amendment to the Constitution
giving, as it would, a much-needed ex-
tension to the short sessions of Congress,
and let the second century of our con-
stitutional history begin where the first
century practically began"
Senator John Sherman of Ohio first
introduced legislation for the proposed
change OF date. Winthrop's friend, Ho-
ratio King, renewed the effort in 1886,
with Senator John ingalls, of Kansas
introducing proposed amendment
which was prepared by Representative
Abraham Mott of South Carolina. But
the inaugural date remained unchanged
until the second Inauguration of Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, January 20, 1941.
King, then 81 years of age, wrote to
Winthrop on May II, 1893, greetings for
his S4th birthday, quoting from Lowell
on his 68th birthday anniversary: "The
milestones into headstones change,
Meath every one friend"

Russio's Public Relations

It would be a f1ippant oversimpli-
fication, of course, to liken the Soviet
Union to movie star or night
club or something of that sort whose
popularity needs the attention of a
smart press agent. Nevertheless the
Russians could do worse than null
over what Winston Churchill has
just had to say about how their
propaganda "has been steadily max
ing headway backwards"
As used in this instance, the word
propaganda" covers not merely the
speeches and writings of the Rus
slams, but also their general attitude,
particularly as displayed in interna-
tional negotiations. Their frame of
mind in dealing with Britain and
the United States, their chip-on-
the-shoulder approach to mutual
problems, their talk about conspir-
atorial Anglo-American bloc-these
ere the things that have suggested
to Mr.. Churchill that Prime Minister
Stain and his chief aides are in
need of good public relations
counsel capable of giving them bet
ter advice about the western democ-
racies. Thus, by way of example:
ut cannot be in the interest of
Russia to 60 on irritating the United
States. There is no people in the
world slower in developing hostile
feelings against foreign country
than the American people. The
American eagle sits on his perch, a
large strong bird with formidable
beak and claws. There he sits, mo-
tionless, and Mr.. Gromyko is sent
every day to prod him with a sharp
hackle. now on his beak, now under
his wing, now in his tail feathers. All
the time the eagle keeps quite still.
But it would be a great mistake to
suppose that nothing is going on
inside the breast of the eagle. I
venture to give this friendly hint to
my old wartime comrade. Marshal
Stalin."
In other words, although he would
be the first to admit that the inter-
national situation goes much deeper
than that, Mr.. Churchill suggests to
the Kremlin that its outside rela-
tions might be better if the Russians
paid a little more heed to the GUS
toms and psychology of the west.
They sulk when it seems to us there
is no reason for sulking; they are
brusque when brusqueness is unnec-
essary; they prod the eagles tail
feathers, or boycott Britain's victory
parade, when such action can do
neither themselves nor anybody else
any good. All things considered, it
is not altogether silly to suppose
that couple of Dale Carnegies and
a few shrewd public relations men
could be Of real service to them.

The Castle Cache Case

It would be a considerable under
statement of the case to describe
the War Departments press an
nouncement in the House of Hesse
jewel robbery as something out of the
ordinary. An Army spokesman more
adequately described the amazing
story as something out of Grau-
stark" In the truth stranger
than-fiction tradition, the official
account told of the discovery by a
CORPORAL of $1,50O,OO0 worth of royal
gems in a wine cellar at Kronberg
Castle, Germany. and the subse-
quent alleged theft of the jewels by
an American Army WAC and her
husband, a Reserve colonel. There
followed an international hunt for
the missing hoard and its purloinerS,
climaxed by the arrest of the colonel
and his lady in Chicago. To give
the tale a final Hollywood touch, the
pair was arrested in La Sale Hotel
room that, next day, was to be swept
by flames in the disaster there. Most
of the jewels have been recovered.
Like most mystery stories, the case
of the missing Hesse heirlooms raises
number of interesting questions
which are yet to be answered. The
obvious first question is, how did the
culprits expect to get away with such
a scheme when they must have
known that the loss would be quickly
discovered and that, because of their
presence at the castle at the time,
they would be subject to immediate
suspicion and investigation? Again,
how did they hope to dispose of such
rare and conspicuous jewelry with
out arousing curiosity of dealers?
Moreover, it is but natural to ask
how the loot was brought into this
country without detection of Army
or customs authorities.
The answer to the last question
is not hard to guess, in view of the
vast number of servicemen who have
been returning from overseas since
Evening star., 1946-06-09

the start of rehabilitation, coupled
with the lenient attitude of customs
officials with respect to such
searches. Inspection of Army and
Navy transports has been generally
superficial, If the experiences of many
of the GIs can be taken as a cri-
terion. AS for the other puzzling
angles of the case-the reasoning
behind the bizarre plot, its ramifica-
tions in higher circles, If any; the
plans for ultimate disposition of the
stolen goods-these are as intriguing
as the most carefully devised
suspense-generating episodes of a
best-seller. Whether all of these
questions will be cleared up as the
story continues to unfold is a matter
for additional speculation.

Moscow and Peron Make Up

L he lleAlDlllCy Ol SOVleJ diplomacy,
involving an apparent lack of ideo-
logical Scruples, is strikingly exem-
plified in the extension of full dip
lomatic relations to the Argentine
government headed by the newly
inaugurated President Juan Peron.
Indeed, the same may be said for the
Peron regime. Taken together, this
seems to be one of the most cynically
pragmatic moves in the history of
contemporary diplomacy.
Back in February, 1918, when the
newly installed Bolshevik regime
that had transformed Czarist Rus
sia into the U. S. S. r. was defying
traditional diplomatic amenities, an
Argentine diplomatic courier was
arrested in Petrograd, now Lenin-
grad. This action, together with
other grievances, led the Argentine
government of the day to break off
diplomatic relations with the Soviet
Union, and only now have they been
resumed. Throughout the ensuing
twenty-eight years. Argentina has
been consistently anti Communist
and anti-Soviet in its attitude. For
instance, it was the League member
which requested and obtained Soviet
Russia's expulsion from the League
OF Nations after Russia's invasion of
Finland in 1899.
Moscow reciprocated this attitude,
regarding Argentina as a reaction
ary and ultracapitalistic country.
This Soviet dislike reached its eli
max during the San Francisco Con-
ference last year, when the United
Nations Charter was being written.
Moscow denounced Argentina's mill
tary regime, of which Peron was
even then leading figure, as Fas-
cist. and strongly opposed it's ad-
mission to the U. N And, of course,
our own Communists and fellow
Travellers" taking their cue from
Moscow, added their denunciations
and lambasted the State Depart
ment for not getting tough with
Argentina in every way.
However, everything is now
changed. A Soviet delegation which
arrived in Buenos Aires some time
ago, ostensibly as trade mission,
turns out to have had fun powers
for political negotiation, the upshot
being a joint official announcement
that the two governments, inspired
by the high principles OF interna-
tional collaboration and comprehen-
Sion," have "re-established complete
diplomatic relations" It is likewise
understood that important trade
agreements are being negotiated, in
cluding exports of arms and heavy
machinery from Soviet Russia, the
fruits of Russian seizures in oc-
cupied Europe.
Now where does this leave our
State Department and it's policies,
not only toward Argentina but to-
ward Western Hemisphere stand
ardization of ornaments and other
measures of Pan American soli-
darity? And what becomes of ideo-
logical professions on all sides?
