from the Boston Globe.
More than one commentator has
remarked that the reservoir of good will
for America, which Wendell Willkie
discovered in his wartime world tour.
has been drained all but dry by the
misunderstanding of the year since
the end of hostilities in Europe. 1t is
good, then, to know that small springs
still feed it.
A French girl who has been STUDYING
in Cambridge sails for home tomorrow
with clothing for the poor, toys for the
children, medicines for the sick of the
town of which her father is mayor.
They are laragely the gifts of Massachu-
sets friends, and the town will soon
have Rue Massachusetts in grati-
tude. Over in New York, an organiza-
ton has undertaken to supply appli-
ances, rehabilitation assistance and
Braille printing presses for Europes
blind, for whom the past five years have
been darkest of all. That kind of aid
will never be forgotten.
The American spirit of neighborliness
is at its best when specific need
arises, to be satisfied by specific gift.
The small springs may yet refill the
reservoir in which this country once
took such pride

Get 1t Started

1t Is 10 be nOpeQ InaC the PreSl-
dents candid Endorsement of the
plan to build twin bridges as re-
placement for the decrepit Highway
Bridge will produce some action
from the subcommittee, headed by
Representative Chapman Of Ken
lucky, on pending legislation to
make the plan effective.
Every month of delay in getting
started on this major project-and
there is much still to be done before
any construction can begin-makes
more serious the results of the dis
graceful inaction by the Chapman
subcommittee. The bridge bill was
introduced in Congress in January
of 1o45. In May of that year three
two-hour sessions of hearings were
held. There was another one in
October, two more in November and
two more in December. After that
there was not peep out of the sub
committee until last month. when
It's members inspected the site. Now
Mr.. Chapman is talking about max
ing another inspection, this time
from the top of the Washington
Monument.
BY way of comparison, a bridge
bill for a project in Connecticut was
introduced in the House in Deem
Der of 1915 and passed last March,
after a single hearing in February.
The unusual feature of the pending
bridge legislation is the controversy
over whether to build one or two
bridges, controversy precipitated
by the Park and Planning Commits
sion and the National Park Service
which, with the support of former
Secretary of Interior Ickes, tried to
set themselves up as arbiters on a
question concerning which they are
not competent to judge-construc-
ton Of a bridge facility adequate to
handle a known volume of traffic.
Even so, the controversy should have
been resolved long ago by the Chap
man subcommittee and the neces-
sary legislation reported.
The Presidents support of the
two-bridge plan shows that he is in
agreement with the Public Roads
Administration, the District High
way Department, the Commission of
Fine Arts and others who have taken
the view that within few years one
bridge would be incapable of ham
ding the growing volume of traffic
and that long-range economy and
sound traffic engineering make two
one-way structures advisable
But in the meantime, Highway
Bridge may begin falling down.

Czech-Slovuk Problem

The disorders in Slovakia which
followed the recent elections should
be interpreted from two different
aspects. They were precipitated by
local Communists, angered at the
victory of the conservative Slovak
Democratic party. which swept Slo-
vakia with so per cent of the total
vote. whereas in the Czech provinces
the Communists emerged as the big
winners. The local Slovak Commu-
nists are demanding that the verdict
at the polls be set aside, and are
appealing to their comrades in the
Czech provinces to back them up.
Just what will come of this situa-
ton is not yet clear. But the cleo
ton results reveal the sharp differ
ences in theology and outlook be-
tween the two main portions of the
republic that has been reconstructed
after its conquest and disruption by
Nazi Germany. These differences
are nothing new. They existed from
the very birth of the Czechoslovak
Republic after World War I, and
they arise out of the diverse histori-
cal backgrounds of two branches of
a basically common stock. The
Czech regions of Bohemia and Mo-
ravia were intimately associated
with the Germanic Holy Roman
Empire and for centuries were part
of the Hapsburg Empire of Austria.
The Slovaks formed part of Hungary
prior to World War I and had been
for centuries under Magyar rule.
Numerically the two stocks are
not far apart, the census of 1880
giving roughly 100000 Czechs as
against 100000 slovaks. The pop
ulation picture of the republic is
being radically altered today by the
expulsion of some 100000 Germans
from the Czech provinces, while
less than 100000 Hungarians are
being deported from Slovakia. The
departure of the large German ele-
ment should normally increase the
Importance Of the Slovaks in the
overall political picture. That will
doubtless be displeasing to the
Czechs, who dominated the political
scene before the last war, thereby
engendering Slovak discomfort and
leading to the separatist movement
which eliminated in the setting up
of an independent Slovak state un-
der German protection during the
war.
There are thus two antagonisms
involved In the present situation:

To Man Alone

Grateful for hauing kno,Dn the bee

be made easier by the victories OF Messrs.
Griswold and Thye, il they win. Already
the field of opposing candidates seems
to be widening. Former Gov. Bricker
of Ohio, nominated for the Senate, and
Senator Taft of Ohio were in the
field to start with. Senator Vanden-
berg of Michigan, because of his out
standing leadership in the Senate, par
.ticularly on foreign affairs, is, willy
hilly, being talked of more and more
for presidential nomination
And more recently, Gov Earl Warren
OF California. by his spectacular victory
in the recent California primary, where
he won both the Republican and Demo-
cratic nominations for Governor, has
been shot into the presidential pool with
a big splash. And finally there is the
unpredictable Gov. Dewey, who if he
wins reelection as Governor of New
York, will certainly have a great deal
to say about whom the Republicans
nominate in 1913, whether he himself
seeks the nomination or not.
Mr.. StasSen, like Mr.. Willkie, whom
he helped materially to nominate in
1Sfu, Is more OF less a lone VOL. He
has, however, a large following among
the rank and file of the voters through
out the country, people who like his
ideas on foreign policy and who know
the excellent record he made as Gov
ernor of his own State.
The conservatives in the Republican
party in 1910 wanted Senator Taft
for their presidential nominee They
were leery of District Attorney Dewey,
then SO years old, and Mr.. Willkie,
although he had been president of a
big power concern. they did not know.
They finally accepted the latter who
had the backing of big financial inter-
ests as we'll as a popular following.
Gov. Dewey they had to take in 1914,
although he did not want the nomi-
nation. because he appeared to be the
only man who had a chance to win
against Mr.. Roosevelt in New York
State, of which Dewey was then Gov
ernor, as he is now.
If it falls out in 1948 that they have
to take Mr.. Stassen or Gov. Dewey
for their presidential candidate, there

Messrs. Snyder and Sullivan

As he himself once put it. John w.
Snyder is no genius, nor is he a par
ticularly striking personality, but
that does not mean that he will not
make a good Secretary of the Treas
ury. In naming him to succeed Mr..
Vinson in that post, President Tru-
man was in an excellent position to
judge his qualifications, not merely
because the two have long been close
personal friends, but more impor-
family because the President is well
acquainted with Mr.. Snyder's record
as public servant.
Since the Secretary-elect has a
habit of working without fanfare, it
may surprise many Americans to
know that he has had almost fifteen
years of governmental experience in
financial affairs. In the early 1930s
he entered Federal service as bank
liquidator. and in 1887 became man
ager of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation in ST. Louis, so impress
ing Jesse Jones that he was later
made executive vice president of the
Defense Plant Corporation. After
that he went back to private bank
ing, only to give it up again when
his old friend, now suddenly become
President. asked him into the ad-
miniStration. From then on. Mr..
Snyder quietly assumed one heavy
responsibility after another, his last
being that of reconversion director.
OF late, there has been nasty little
effort to discredit him, but his rec
ord is solid one-the record of a
highly competent man in whom Mr..
Truman clearly has full confidence.
In many respects, what may be
said of Mr.. Snyder as personality
and public servant may also be said
of John L. Sullivan. Here, too. is a
man who does not seem to flash but
whose record is reassuring. A sue
cessful New Hampshire lawyer and
an outstanding Democrat in his
State. he has ably served the coun-
try, first as an Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury and later as Assistant
Secretary of the Navy for Air. In
elevating him to the undersecre-
taryship. the President presumably
has placed him in line to become
Secretary when Mr.. Forrestal re-
signs. Like Mr.. Snyder, Mr.. Sullivan
does not appear to be a towering
figure, but both are men of energy,
intelligence and devotion to the job
at hand, and with these fine attri-
butes they can be expected to dis
charge their new responsibilities to
the satisfaction of the Nation at
large.
