SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2i, 1941 With confidence In our armed forces — with the unbounding de termination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph — so help us God. —Roosevelt'* War Message Our Chief Aim To aid in every way the prosecu tion of the war to complete Vic tory. “ THOUGHT FOR TODAY If you and I today Should stop and lay Our life work down, and let our hands fall where they will— Fall down to lie quite stiU; And if some other hand should come and stoop to find The threads we carried, so that it could wind, Beginning where it stopped; if it should come to leep Our life work goiug; seek To carry on the good design Distinctively made yours or mine, What would it find? —R. of C. W. -V Lend-Lease For Russia When it is announced that lend-lease de liveries to Russia totalled S3,267,047,000 in twenty-four months and the c'aim is made that General Mac Arthur i* under heavy handi cap in the southwest Pacific because he is not receiving what he needs to speed the victory over Japan, albeit *he claim is contra dicted, the natural reaction is to condemn the Lend-Lease Administration and decide we should be doing mere for what we Americans, with considerable jusbee, look upon as our own war. But this View, which is hard to dissipate, may not be fully justified. The goods that we have been sending to Russia have made it possible for the P.c-d armies to put the Ger mans generally to flight and assure victory on the Eastern front—an assurance that is no whit lessened by the retaking of Zhitomir Or other minor successes registered by the Nazis. Hie question that Americans answer vari ously is whether the United States should be accepting such a heavy responsibility for win ning the war in Europe instead ot concentrat ing its prime effort upon victory in the Orient. While many of us argue one way and as many the other, the true answer must await the verdict of time and be left to historians 0f a later generation. For the present Leo T. Crowley, toe Iore.gr. economic administrator, deserves our gran tude for reducing to understandable figures the quantities of goods we have delivered to Russia which have turned the tide the-e against Hitler. The thiee-billion plus of lend lease, more than half of which moved between the first of the year and the end of September was divided in dollar value thus: 31,858.656, 000, or 56 per cent, were military items: $884. 869.000 worth were industrial materials, and $549,022,000 foodstuffs and agricultural pro ducts. The military items were 6,500 plants /nore than 3,000 tanks, 125,000 sub-machine guns. 145.000 trucks, 25,000 jeeps. 200,000 field tele phones and 700,000, miles of field telephone wire. The Soviet Union was also enabled to ex pand its own production of munitions by the shipment of nearly a billion dollars’ worth of industrial materials including more than 1, 000,000 tons of steel and steel products, more than 300,000 tons of non-ferrous metal, 300,000 tons of chemicals and explosive^, 500,000 tons of petroleum products and more than 17,000 metal cutting machine tools. Mr. Crowley explains that the foodstuffs and seeds have been of tremendous value to the Soviet Army and the civilian population, as can be well understood in light of the ruth less destruction practiced by the Nazis, anc the “parched earth” policy ol Stalin, whip the enemy was advancing. Considering that Germany is on the wa; —that, our contributions to Russia havi played an important iol« in Red army suc cesses, and Stalin has declared that Russia will repay every penny involved, it would be well, we believe, to withhold judgment on our aid to Russia until the whole war picture is in the proper perspective. At present our vis ion probably is confused, as it always is when we see anything too dose. -V Christmas Seals The time has come again to set aside some money for Christmas Seals. The annual cam paign will be under way tomorrow and con tinue until the Yuletide It would be well if any way could be found to determine just how many lives have been saved, how many tuberculosis victims have been returned to productive activities in the professional and business world through the saie of these little seals on Christmas mail, but that is too much evan for the statisticians. We know only that through the funds thus de rived the warfare of tuberculosis gains new successes every year. It is important this year to increase the revenue from this source. The great migra tion to war centers with the consequent crowd ing of population and inadequate sanitation and health supervision has pave-j the way for the spread of the disease. Locally the situation is particularly pressing because of the clos ing of the Red Cross Chnatcrium and the ap parently unavoidable delay in building and operating another. Wilmingtonians have more reason that ever to purchase larger numbers ol Christmas Seals, not only for the relief of known vic tims but also for the investigations through which incipient cases may be discovered and the disease arrested before it has made se rious headway. Few residents know how the money they invest in Christmas Seals ,s dispensed. For their benefit, Dr. John C Wesseli. for the New Hanover County Tuberculosis Association, has prepared a clear and concise statement on the activities carried on with the funds so col lected. Doctor Wessel) says the association has decided it can obu m toe best results by confining its efforts to three projects—case finding, health education and rebabilitation— and he adds: As the 1943 Christmas Seal Sale will be launched the 22nd of this month, the direc tors of our association deem -it wise to ac quaint the public as to the activities to be carried on with the funds so collected. Of the numerous activities permitted by the national association the New Hanover County Tuberculosis association has de cided that it can obtain the bes‘ results by confining its efforts to three definite pro jects, namely case finding, health educa tion, and rehabilitation. In case finding the real problem is to find the cases of tuberculosis ir the com munity and what is most fundamental en deavor to get these cases admitted to a sanatorium. The second activity, health education is the most productive ol the many activities in which we are permitted to engage. Its field is broad, its approaches are numer ous, its purpose is prevention It is not so spectacular to prevent a casualty but a much more valuable service is rendered as is brought out in the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” How often have we in tuberculosis work repeated “every case comes from an other.” E'ven now too few people know that tuberculosis is a communicable dis ease—that it is catching, a fam which if everyone knew and applied would soon re sult in the eradication of this disease. Our third activity is rehabilitation which is rapidly coming to the fore a will re ceive more attention as its merits are ap preciated and trained personnel is avail able. The workers in fhis field become the salvage squad whose gu'cance begins in the sanatorium anc continues in the home. These three activities -an be successful ij tdixicu uui ujxi.y uixuugii ui iiieuium ui a full-time trained worker and a good por tion of the funds obtained frcr the seal sale will be applied to the employment of such an individual. Remember tuberculosis ranks seventh as a cause of death, and also Lear in mind that this disease is the chief cause of death between the age of 15 and 45 and that Christmas Sea’s are thr means of raising funds to protect our you'b from this dread infirmity. Christmas Seals are not charity. They as far more than charity and in that para dox lies much of the success of the fight against tuberculosis, so we offer these seals as an appeal to the insti cl of self protection, as well as to the benevolent " pulses of humanity. The customary consumer goods used as | Christinas presents are not up to average this year. The v/ar has interfered with their manufacture. Mercnants aic doing their best to meet demands, and it is not thcii fault that patrons lad to find the usual variety of allur ing gifts upon their counters and shelves, j There’s a job to do in Europe and the Orient that calls Jor war tools, at the sacrifice of Christmas goods. Is there not in this situa tion an excellent reason to make- a Christmas gilt in a big way to the known and potential victims of the disease which car. be con quered by the means so plainly set forth in I Doctor Wessell’s statement? Buy extra Christ mas Seals. Can’t Feed The World “We cannot, as some people have thought, (feed the world.” This quotation is from an address by Dr. Forrest F. Hill, head of ihe department of agricultural economics at Cornell, before a gathering of food specialists in New York, dur ing which he empha.-.ired the fact that our na tional livestock and crop-producing resources are inadequate to meet the demands even now being made upon them. The best we can hope to do. he said, is to furnish minimum lequhements of our Allies : j and subsistance rations for those of reoccu pied countries until their production and dis tribution machinery are again m order. The surprising aspect of this is not that Doctor Hill has revealed an unsuspected situ ation, but that he nad the courage to speak out. The drain on our supplies, said Doctor Hill, “depends, and will Continue to do so, on how much we can spare and not on what is need ed.” The deficit in Europe, he continued, is estimated at 20 per cent, which means that food is needed for more than 100.000.000 per sons. The United States cannot meet this need. Even on the oasis suggested by Doc tor Hill, our resources will be taxed to the limit. It could be wished that Vice President Wal lace and other crystal gazers in government might acquire Doctor Hill's vision and adopt his viewpoint. There would be less probabili ty of hunger at home If they did. --—V State Press On Mr. Hull It is interesting to note how editors arrive at similar conclusions by different routes. Thus, in commenting on Secretary Hull’s appearance before a joint session of Congress to explain i the Declaration of Moscow, the Durham Her ald notes he emphasized that while the de i cisions constitute only a beginning, they pre pare the way by implication for lasting peace. And the Raleigh News and Observer remarks that Mr. Hull made it clear that the effect (of the declaration) will net be temporary. But let both newspapers in their own words. Says the Herald: If he emphasized one thing above an other, Mr. Hull gave first place to the easily glossed-over fundamental that the agreements reached, declarations made and machinery projected all represent the beginnings only. He was careful, for in stance, to say that the implementation of the agreements, not the agreements them selves, would render obsolete the idea of spheres of influence, alliances and other balance-of-power dev'ces. The News and Observer says it this way: The achievements of the Moscow Con ference have been almost universally ap proved and in his report to the Congress yesterday, Secretary of Slate Hull made it clear that the effect will not be tem porary, but that the foundation was laid for enduring peace by setting up machin ery for a world federation in which every nation, large or small, will be invited to participate on equal terms. The Charlotte Observer finds Mr. Hull’s un precedented appearance primarily an occasion for a “resounding ovation ’ in recognition of his “historic achievements at the Moscow con ference, adding: That must have been the main motif behind the invitation — to shower upon the aging and beloved stalesman evi dences of the appreciation of Congress, foreign diplomats, members of the Cab inet. Supreme Court and other high ranking government officials, for his su perb services at the Kremlin. The Observer furthers comments: What he has achieved at Moscow, if ju diciously and faithfully followed up by the participating governments will become the bedrock upon which the social, political and economic1 structures for ar orderly and peaceful international society for the future will be fashioned. In Asheville, the Citizen finds that: In some respects Mr, Hull was like an honor guest at a testimonial banquet who explains the secret of his success, for that was the setting. In others he was a grim ly serious man, not unconscious of the un exampled tribute paid him. but resolved, as he said, to impress the nation with the “supreme importance1’ ot the Moscow Declaration . Fair Enough I _ -_ (Editor’s Note.—The Star and the News accepts no j responsibility for the personal views of Mr. Pegler. j %nd often disagree with them as much as many of J fcis readers. His articles serve the good purpose of i making people think BY WESTBROOK PEGEER NEW YORK.—More .n sorrow than in anger, i I might point out one of the most potent rea sons why Americans have less confidence in, and respect for, some of the agencies and personalities of government than even our Al lies, the Russians, apparently have in and for theirs. It is because it is sometimes assumed that we admire clever or smirking dishonesty, an assumption, therefore, that the people, as a nation, also are dishonest at heart. For example Mayor La Guardia misuses a publicly owned radio station which is neither his personal property nor that of his political group, to tell a number of lies about the local Republicans. Being quickly challenged, he then denies his remaiks were political but passes the buck of nis political ally, Mr. Fly, of the communications commission, to decide. And Mr. Fly, instead of giving the obvious, honest decision that the statements were po litical, makes an evasive answer. Now there you have the mayor 0t our largest city squ.rming like any shyster and attempting to be funny about a straight question of fact and one of the most powerful federal officials, a man with a duty to the whole people, back ing him up. It would have been easy, and of wholesome effect, if La Guardia had bad the honesty to say yes, that he had violated the rule and invite Thomas .T. Curran, the secretary of state and chairman of the New York County Republican committee, to answer his- charges. But lie didn’t, and when he resorted to trickery and Fly supported him, the public knew they were not truthful and this sort of conduct, I contend, gives the people to believe that politics precludes honesty even in men who pretend to speak for me plain people. The mayor was discussing the repent elec tion of Thomas Aurelio to the Supreme Court notwithstanding his association with a notori ous gangster, and contending the Republicans should have supported his own substitute can didate. But his substitute candidate was no cleaner than Aurelio and La Guardia knew it. He ignored all the facts which condemned his candidate, however, because he didn t dale mention them much less attempt to refine them. Nobody who supported his candidate, Matthew Levy, dared discuss the fact that I Lew had associated with and nraised a union » _■ ALL SET FOR THE REPAIR JOB The League Of Nations Fight BY SIGRID ARNE NEW YORK, Nov. 20—(#)—1The House chamber of the Capitol was packed to the doors on Jan. 8, 1918 —almost 26 years ago. President Wilson had called a joint session of the House and Senate. It was a dreary, anxious winter. 9 he flood of American troops had not yet arrived in France, and the Allied armies were being ham mered back by the “Hun.” So the hush in the House was tense when the tall, scholarly-look ing Woodrow Wilson rose and fac ed the packed flood and galleries. He adjusted his glasses, and began to read from a paper he laid on the speaker’s stand. He was reading his now famous fourteen points, in which he had tried, simply, to state the Allied war aims,—or, at least, the Ameri can aims. “ was me ueginnmg oi me long est and bitterest fight in the his tory of the United States Senate, the League of Nations fight,-a battle which finally killed Wilson. His fourteen points held dyna mite. Dynamite first, for the in trigue-infested chancelleries of Eu rope. He wanted no more secret treaties. He proposed “open coven ants openly arrived at,” and he was to have plenty of trouble later, at the Paris peace conference, in sisting that the press, and hence the public, be informed of the de bates. He didn't use the famous phrase “self determination” in his ad dress: But he laid down the prin ciple in asking for the evacuation "nd restoration of invaded coun tties, and in suggesting an inde pendent Poland. But the real dynamite lay in the -tth point, which said, “a general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political indepen dence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.” In other words, a league to bat down any nation which proposed to go to war. The paragraph finally appeared in the League of Nations covenant gangster who was much more noto rious at the time than Aurelio’s gangster was. However, the people learned about Levy’s associations through the newspapers and they turned him down. In an earlier case, President Roosevelt made a flat guarantee that a certain group of miners would not be compelled to join uLim ±j. x-icw'o o uijiuu, j_icwis men threatened a strike and the Presi dent referred the question to a per sonal appointee for another look. And on the Monday morning after Pearl Harbor, the President’s man gave a decision in his name, break ing his solemn promise. < And proceeding from that decis ion, other agencies of the govern ment have passed steadily against the people, forcing hundreds of thousands of them to join other un ions with tne alternative of going hungry and wasting millions of days of war labor or being drafted for the war. But never has this fact been admitted. They will not even discuss it. These are not isolated examples of this dishonesty which arouses distrust of government. They are typical of the liberal in politics, and all in violation of the early teaching of the normal human be ing. People in their daily rela tions with one another do not act 1 so. They quickly learn to distrust, I disbelieve^ and shun individuals who break their word or try to deny plain truths of simple situa- ■ tions. In any body of students, such cunning brings ostracism. At West '■ Point it is unthinkable. And, in ' Russia it is unnecessary because < the Russian^ government does not 1 have to explain or justify its con- 1 duct. K lust gives orders. , (Twenty-six years ago the end of America’s first war in Europe was approaching. The problems facing Allied states men were similar to those of today, although less complieat- . ed. A League of Nations was the greatest idea produced then, and as an idea its has never died. To find a road to ward lasting eace. Following is a review of what happened then.) as the bitterly contested article ten, which said: “The members of the league un dertake to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all mem bers of the league. In case of any such aggression, or in case of any Threat of danger of such aggres sion, the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.” Liic >vuuu ijs uu dgdill Uli the same debate, and. it promises to be the same full scale hippo drome that the last battle was. The notion of a League of Na tions is an old one. Henry the IV of France suggested it in 1634. Wil liam Penn wanted a “European Dvet” in 1693. Immanuel Kant, the philosopher, went deeper. He want ed a federation of people, thereby going over the heads of rulers. He wanted a “federation of free states,” essentially the same idea Clarence Streit advocates today in his “Union Now.” In 1907 there was league talk again, after the Russo-Japanese war, winding up with Theodore Roosevelt who said “it would be a master stroke if those great pow ers, honestly bent on peace, would form a league of peace.” Curiously, when the league bat I'e came up in the Senate, “T. R." was with the group which opposed the league covenant, advising them on tactics. All through 1918 "T. R.” ■tad fought Wilson in public state ment, calling for an uprising against all Wilson’s statements of war aims. The year 1918 was a congres sional election year, and the re publicans were out to get a major ity in Congress with the hope of short-circuiting Wilson at the peace conference. At the very same time that the republicans, led by “T. R.” were attacking Wilson and his fourteen points, Germany and Austria ap pealed to Wilson for a peace based on them. On Oct. 24, 1918, Wilson replied to Germany, and the same day* “T. R.” came out with a long public leiegram to republican senators saying that he “earnestly hoped" ! Vln -.I J u A__ . J 1 n 1 - _ ___ riated peace with Germany and ieclare against the President’s war Jims. The verbal battle had become so reated that the following day Wil son did a startling thing. He is sued an appeal to the voters, which said in part: “My fellow countrymen: If you lave approved of my leadership ind wish me to continue unembar rassed in affairs at home and ibroad, I earnestly beg that you ■vill return a democratic majority o both the Senate and the House.” He lost that appeal. The repub icans won a majority in the Sen tte. Seven days later came the Arm stice. Wilson departed for the Paris >eace conference leaving behind lim a Senate controlled by his po itical enemies, and knowing that whatever treaty he brought back :ad to be accepted by a two-thirds ote. Wilson arrived in Paris, the out tanding figure at the peace con erence, but walking on political (tiickstand. His fourteen points had lastened the peace. They were the iope of both the enemy and of min. 'rities all over Europe. But back — home was a Senate that might toss them out the window. Even so Wilson threw himself doggedly into the work of persuad ing the conference to accept his principles and to write a. League-' of Nations covenant into the peace treaty. On that score he had trouble. Several of the powers had been figuring on grabs of German col onies as a pay-off for their war troubles. Wilson wanted the col onies mandated. Obviously, a land grab scarcely would square with the implied "self determination’' :p the fourteen points. So the delegates at the confer ence fought to split the writing! of the treaty and the league. Treaty; first, they said, and then well j agree on a league. At home, the republicans, led by Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, ‘'the am bassador from Massachusetts’ (.grandfather of the current Sen- J tuui x-ruvagt ’ wcUilCU CiiC Sdlilt thing; treaty first, league later. Wilson finally got a vote making the league an integral part of the peace treaty. He became chairman of the drafting committee, and re ported out the covenant Feb. 14. 1S19. Borah, of Idaho, who wanted no international relations whatsoevre, called it a “triumph for British diplomacy." Reed of Missouri call ed the league an “international smelling committee " On March 3. 1919, Lodge caused a minor sensation by bringing out a “Round Robin," a statement signed by 39 Senators, which said the proposed league should not be accepted by the United States. The 39 men were more than the one I third needed in the Senate to kill | any treaty. There was echoing consternation m Europe. The conference was pro ceeding to the creation of a Lea gue of Nations. And yet, here was news vom the United States that 1iie political enemies of the Ameri can President probably had the strength to kill American partici pation. However, the treaty, with its lea gue covenant, was finally adopted on June 23, 1919. Wilson returned home to the Senate battle over ratification, and to face various anti-league blocs of public opinion at which his sen ate opponents aimed their speech es. German-Amoricans who felt j “The Fatherland'’ had been rough- i ly treated, Irish who wanted their independence written into the treaty; Italians who were angry ; that Italy didn’t get Fiume. In addition, soldiers were return-! in.«. HiccmcfoH TTTl'+V, I v'ar tension was over, and people were generally sick of being noble about “making the world safe for democracy.” The battle in the Senate settled down to writing reservations to tile league. It was a time consum ing job. Several historians have supposed that the object of the Ledge cohorts was just that: To use up time until they could talk away the country's enthusiasm for a league-. Before the battle started on the Senate floor, some historians have estimated that, a probable 30 per cent of American opinion was for some kind of league. More than 30 state legislatures had passed reso lutions in favor of international co operation. The job of killing the league en thusiasm must have seemed large, because ex-Sen. James E. Watson! of Indiana, has written of asking ■ Lodge how he hoped to do it. Wat- , sen says Lodge replied. “I don’t ’ propose to try to beat it by direct frontal attack, but by the indirect . method of reservations.” There has been tremendous con tecture over Lodge’s motives. It’s ’•serted emphatically by some that t ■ic was for “A” league, but not his particular one. On the other -ond, Thomas A. Bailey, the Stan :ord university historian, has writ Interpreting The War BY KIRKE L.

Failure There is now evidence too of the ictiiuie ui d i-uumci u*uu. t campaign in the Atlantic to halt or even seriously delay the move ment of troops and war goods from the United States to the European w ar theaters for the final phases of the conflict. Marine insurance rates in the Atlantic dropped steep ly, strongly bearing out the re cent assertion of Prims Minister Churchill that the back ol the sub marine attack has been broken. Coupled with the startling Rus sian battle successes since Stalin grad, the Allied anti-submarine campaign invites complementary revisions of recent Allied and So viet directives to shorten the road to final victory by many months. There can be no doubt that con- j versations to that end are in pro gress or preparation. The fact of tnose meetings, if not their re sults, will not be withheld long.
