XBXiXRV I What's Right and !\ot Who's Right The San Francisco conference is dealing in personages, and from this distance it appears the peace-makers are making little progress. There have- been quite a few wrangles, and nearly every one of them centers around per sonages. Molotov is wrong, they say. But the problem is to determine what’s right and let all the liwho’s” be measured in that light. If the conference is to contain peace-loving nations, then let the member nation prove its intentions by acts and deeds, and not by court ing personages. If it is permissible to include Argentina in the conference, then it seems to the layman that the Lublin group should be included. If no ques tions were asked about the Greek government and who sponsored it, then it’s only fair not to ask too many questions about the Lublin government. If the King-picked delegates from India receive recognition, then why can’t they recognize some of those fellows who chose to suffer it out with their people on the home grounds? But before balancing off the repre sentation under such a plan, let the conference fix its standards of measurements and apply them equally to Argentina and Poland. As a last resort, if the millionaire diplomats can’t accomplish their mission in the name of a lasting peace, let 100 G. I.’s from the front lines, 100 Russian soldiers, 100 British fighters, and equal numbers from the Navy and other branches of the service come home and it is fairly certain they’d talk peace. It is admitted, however, that they would not think much about an economic trade whereby Mr. Clayton could sell his cotton, but after suffering in actual com bat they could be expected to place peace ahead of everything else. Jl' at Loom* On Economic f ront ~r*Tiai <lly before viTTATV'Jl? proclaimed' if^fr peace j is restored in Europe, war looms on the home economic front wit' the possibility that the peace will be thwarted- One of the greatest fights in over half century is having its begin ning in Washington when ten Republican com mittee members voted solidly against renewing the Hull reciprocal trade agreements. There is no doubt but what the trade agree ments have proved very successful. They have helped strengthen trade relations and they have advanced the good neighbor policy. So 1 much good was accomplished by them that President Roosevelt a short time before his un timely passing had asked that they be contin uscd and with the power to halve the tariff rates in effect last January 1. Immediately the Na tional Association of Manufacturers broadly hinted that there was a move for the “complete elimination of protective tariffs.” With some very few exceptions, the people of this nation have learned that we cannot be iso lated in war. Neither can we be isolated in peace, and it is just as foolish to think we can build and maintain prosperity behind trade barriers as it is to think we are safe from attack behind ocean distances. Some American businessmen are talking about export trade in the amount of billions of dollars. They are listed as favoring high tar iffs, but nowhere is it pointed out how we can maintain a large export trade while hiding be hind high tariff barriers. We are freely giving of our young manhood and material wealth to win the war and restore peace; we must do something about our econ omy that will insure the peace. Words of Wisdom I am not at all concerned about the Lord be ing on our side, for we know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my con stant anxiety and sincere prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord’s side.—Abraham Lincoln. The interests of childhood and youth are the interests of mankind.—Janes.
