Nelson Appointment
Clears Track .. .
AT LAST, President Roosevelt has
made the move we have been ex-
pecting for some time. At last, the responsibility
for tuning America's industry to an all-out war
production effort has been placed squarely upon
the shoulders of one man, with no divided au
thority and overlapping control to clutter up
the way. Our only regret is that it took three
official attempts to solve the problem. As a
result, American industry has been floundering
around even worse than in the first World War.
We have lost too much valuable time
squabbling over the issue between labor and
management: should the union be granted
power to aid in control of production policies?
With the creation of the War Production
Board and the appointment of Donald M. Nel-
son as its head, the way has been cleared for
a general speed-up in armaments production
that bids to make the bungling tactics of the
Office of Production Management just a bad
chapter in economics textbooks. Now, authority
for directing the war program is clearly cen-
tralized and "drastic action" to come has been
promised. Nelson has been granted the neces-
saty power by Executive Order. "His decision
as to questions of procurement and production
will be final."
This means, in effect, that the newly-
appointed czar of production has power over
industrialists and labor leaders alike, over both
the Army and the Navy. It means he, will deal
in final decisions directly with Lord' Beaver-
brook, British Minister of Supples,
HIS DUTIIES CLEAR-CUT, Donald Nelson
steps into the breach with the firm convic-
that everything must be subordinated to the
war effort and with a sound business head that
has won the admiration of all who know him.
In a fighting speech read for him by Bernard
Gimbel, he told the nation that "utterly revo-
lutionary changes" in the operation of industry
will be essential to win this war.
"We may have to require management and
labor to adapt themselves to wholly new sched-
ules and methods of operation," he said bluntly.
"We may have to upset the commercial and
industrial arrangements which have endured
for many years. We may have to trample on
all sorts of privileges and prerogatives."
"None of that matters."
On the heels of Nelson's hard-headed asser-
tions, the Senate investigating committee
Thursday leveled a charge of "bungling tactics"
upon the joint heads of Knudsen and Hillman,
OPM co-directors. The committee declared
that the dollar-a-year officials are lobbyists
for their former concerns and recommended
that they be eliminated. Another highly signifi-
cant revelation by the committee was that the
automobile industry has not been checked i
civilian production and has not even attempted
to convert plant facilities to war production.
THUS theforces of labor have gained once
more at the expense of management. What
labor leaders have been contending all along,
the Senate has verified by investigation. Big
business has consistently refused to relinquish
the saddle in production for war. The guiding
Parley War
Forum Today .. .
T HE COMMANDING OFFICERS of
the Navy's Pearl Harbor base were
not the only Americans unprepared for an Axis
attack on this country. Throughout this Uni-
versity and the entire nation, complete apathy
dominated the prevailing war attitudes. Eco-
nomically and politically, the United States was
on a champagne binge that it never expected
to end.
But some students have begun to think more
seriously since December 7 and a great deal of
them have begun to think. What will be the
results of this war on our standard of living?
What is the value of a B.A., M.A., or Ph.D., to
a man and a bayonet? What about this democ-
racy that somebody gave to us? Can it stand
the impact of total war or will it go down be-
fore the autocratic forces arrayed against it?
THESE QUESTIONS, and others of equal im-
port to students in war, will be discussed at
four panel sessions today in the annual Winter
Parley. Faculty and student discussion leaders
offer every variety of campus opinion on these
subjects, and it is up to the general audience
to draw their own conclusions.
In the past, parleys have been described as
windy debates accomplishing nothing more
than a mild ripple in student thought processes.
The faculty leaders talked, the student panel
leaders talked, the men with ingrained convic-
tions talked, but the average student audience
member listened until he was fed up.
Today, however, the parley opens its panel
sessions with a different purpose. It is the first
public forum on campus since the war, and it
comes to a University afflicted by doubt and
indecision.
THE FOUR PANELS will be held at 2:15 and
7:30 p.m. today in the Union. They are open,
to anyone who thinks he has something at stake
in America's struggle. And remember, freedom
of speech will be discussed today in one of the
few countries that still has the freedom of
speech to discuss it.

The Reply Churlish
by TOUCHSTONE
(This is to introduce Emile Gele, of the old
South, managing editor of the Daily, who occas-
ionally denies his heritage by the expression of
liberal sentiments. Because what he has to say
must be said, and the sooner the better, the
column today is all his. -Touchstone)
DURIN WARTIME there are many forgot-
ten men, just as there are many emergency
men costumed as sapient captains and tossed
hurriedly into the spotlight to perform for the
duration miracles performable only by certain
obscure creatures inclined to hibernation amidst
mpsty tomes or behind glossy mahogany-topped
desks or in remote military outposts till routed
forth by the flares of war; but I am now con-
cerned with the forgotten men, or rather a
special group which happens to be the most
forgotten of all men during the submersion of
peace, and which is composed of those stubborn
unfortunates called proudly by themselves and
sneeringly by others, "conscientious objectors".
I would like to pay them a tribute, a some-
what squeamish and hasty and apologetic trib-
ute. Squeamish because already people are being
obliged to buy huge quantities of defense bonds
for saying "To hell with the Siamese" or wash-
ing windows with old British flags. Hasty be-
cause already such leading patriots as Walter
Winchell (who fancies himself a "newsboy" and
defends liberty, equality, and fraternity daily in
syndicated news columns and on the radio at
a handsome profit) are rapidly laying the foun-
dations for the impending alien and sedition
laws. Apologetic because I realize this space
should be devoted to directing your contributions
into the "Buy a Bomber" coffers of the public-
spirited Hearst papers.
REGARDLESS of these compelling influences,
I persist in paying my tribute; for my im-
mediate interest in national defense and aggres-
sion does not obscure my interest in future inter-
national peace. And these forgotten conscientious
objectors are the only salesmen of peace bonds
right now. Now don't get me wrong, though-
I'm all for this war. Remember I'm one of you
now, gentlemen. They forced this on us and
they'll be sorry. We love our peace so much we'll
beat hell out of anybody who dares disturb it.
We will fight! We must fight! Where do these
CO crackpots get off telling us war is wrong!
The nerve!
See, I rear back in amazed indignation, then
just amazement, then wonder, and finally wonder
mingled with respect. We know we must fight
and the world knows it, but these CO's sit back
smiling and shake their heads, no. Why? Be-
cause they want to be different and attract at-
tention? They are not on posters; they have
no USO; they are not Joe Palooka or Flash
Gordon in the comic strips; they receive no
citation or public praise; they are never shown
in the newsreels; and they never get the high
paid heroic jobs. Are they cowards? Their records
in past wars, and their present training for dan-
gerous non-combatant service say no. Do they
pose as martyrs? They say they are sacrificing
very little, rather they are busy in camps pre-
paring in various ways for service in war, and
especially for the eventual peace. They are
building, not pining away.
STILL WE CAN DEMAND with righteous
scorn, "Suppose everyone thought like you,
you CO, what then!" Rhetorical of course, with
only one reasonable answer. But they give
another answer. "Brother," they say, "if every-
one thought like us, you and I both would have
what we wanted, and you would look like an ass

RIO DE JANEIRO - If this Pan-American
conference succeeds in lining up the Americas
against the Axis-and with one exception it
looks as if it will-Messrs. Hitler and Hirohito
will have Undersecretary Sumner Welles and
Brazilian Foreign Minister Aranha largely to
thank.
These are the two men ,who have carried
the ball for a united Pan-American war front,
with President Vargas giving them potent 100
per cent support in the background.
Strangely enough no two men could be more
dissimilar. Oswaldo Aranha is an ex-gaucho
from the cattle country of Brazil, accustomed
to appearing at horse races with two revolvers
strapped to his belt, and equally at home around
a roulette table or a dinner in the presidential
palace.
Undersecretary of State Welles, on the other
hand, had Roosevelt's background of Groton
and Harvard, had the same god-mother as
Eleanor Roosevelt, was a page at the Roosevelts'
wedding, and is an Anthony Eden edition of
what the well-dressed diplomat is supposed to
look like.
Underneath his somewhat austere exterior,
however, Sumner Welles is just as much the
human as Oswaldo Aranha, and together they
make a perfect team of resourceful, hard-hitting
Hitler-Hirohito haters.
Father Of Good Neighbors
Not many people realize it, but in South
America Welles is known as the father of Roose-
velt's Good Neighbor policy-now recognized al-
most universally as the soundest foreign pro-
gram put forward by any American president
in half a century.
It was Sumner Welles who, when High Com-
missioner to the Dominican Republic way far
back in the Coolidge Administration, persuaded
Charles Evans Hughes, then Secretary of State,
to withdraw the Marines. This was the first
step in getting U.S. troops out of the Carib-
bean area, always a source of suspicion to
every Latin-American nation.
It was Welles also who wrote the famous
Central American treaties during the Coolidge
Administration by which revolutionary govern-
ments were denied recognition. His purpose was
to prevent upstart military leaders from seizing
control of the banana republics every few
months. However, neither the Central Ameri-
cans nor Calvin Coolidge were quite ready for
this advanced stage of peace and good neigh-
borliness, with the result that Welles resigned,
and Coolidge sent the Marines back into Nica-
ragua.
Welles waited patiently all during the Hoover
Administration toward the end of which he
put in a lot of political punches for the election
of his boyhood friend Franklin Roosevelt. And
not generally known is that Welles chiefly wrote
the foreign affairs planks in the Democratic
platform adopted at the 1932 Chicago conven-
tion.
Welles' record for constantly pounding the
Good Neighbor policy needs no further review
here. But this week at Rio de Janeirohe reached
the climax of his ambitions-the attempt to
create a united front against all the dictators
by all the Americas.
Best Friend Of U.S.A.
Oswaldo Aranha, Welles' co-partner in this
ambition, is the son of a wealthy cattle-rancher,.
He was educated at a military school, spent
five years fighting in Brazilian revolutions-
most of the time in the saddle-and has a heel
partly shot away plus a bullet still lodged in
his shoulder to show for it. 9
Aranha was the military leader of the revo-
lutionary army of 1930 which made Getulio Var-
gas President of Brazil, and won for Henry L,
Stimson the nickname "Wrong Horse Harry".
Stimson, then Secretary of State, bet on the
wrong horse , and sent U.S. planes to support
the regime which Aranha defeated.
Aranha spent four years in Washington, where
as Ambassador he got to know the U.S.A. as
few other envoys. He took a motor trip to the
West Coast, went to the Kentucky Derby with
Jim Farley (where, incidentally, he won $1,500)
visited with all sorts of people from Herbert
Hoover to John L. Lewis, and even attended the
conventions of the Democratic and Republican
parties.
One of his descriptions of the conventIons
is still remembered il Washington.
"At Cleveland," said Aranha, "the Republicans
promised Santa Claus to both the rich and the
poor, while at Philadelphia, the Democrats
promised Santa Claus to the poor with the
rich man's money."
Ever since his four years in Washington, Aran-
ha has been known as the chief 'friend of the
U.S.A. below the Rio Grande.
We have all sorts of neat and catchy definitions
of peace, most of which boil down to the attempt
to make peace a lengthy and profitable after-
math of victory. On the other hand, these CO's
are firmly convinced that peace is a permanent
way of life that cannot be had until it is lived, so
they live it. They consider it easy to extol peace
during peace time. Insistence on the validity of
peace in wartime is the real test of belief.
All of which is absurd. Absurd because it is
incredibly impractical. Impractical as " . . . for-
give us our trespasses as we forgive those who
