In Re: Lew Ayres
I am gratified by the vigorous response to my
editorial of last Sunday; but I am equally as-
tounded at the various interpretations. Perhaps
adolescent, journalists should not play with so
dangerous a weapon as irony. Or perhaps I was
too confident that my previous editorials on
conscientious objectors had been read. In either
event, I wish to state concisely and clearly my
opinions on the matter.
I do not think Lew Ayres is a non-patriot.
Nor do I think Burton K. Wheeler, black-clad
mothers, Henry Ford or Charles A. Lindbergh
are necessarily non-patriots. Nor do I espe-
cially admire the patriotism of Nicholas Schenck
of MGM, and these hot-air jingoists who do
their bit for the war effort by avoiding the films
of Lew Ayres.-
I think the recent treatment of Ayres by the
press is as sad a commentary on American
' intelligence as wasting public money on the
nightmares of Martin Dies. Well, there it is.'
Now we have a sound basis for disagreement.

Laval's Return Verifies
Vichy Submission . .
IF there was any doubt about the
disastrous policy of our State De-
partment in its friendly tete a tete with the
traitorous Vichy government, yesterday's events
should have dispelled that doubt once and for all.
Pierre Laval, outstanding French advocate of
collaboration with Germany. was made vice-
premier of Vichy France as a result of terrific
pressure from Germany. Having regained power
after 16 months of political dormancy, Laval will
obviously be virtual co-dictator with Marshal
Petain.
THE VICHY GOVERNMENT has shown it-
self finally and conclusively to be on the
side of our enemy. Laval is admittedly a pro-
Fascist and we can expect Vichy France to be
nothing but a province of Germany-even
more unambiguously than it has been until
now. The words "cooperation" and "collab-
oration" are now meaningless. Vichy is a full-
fledged slave of the Axis powers
Even the State Department could not ignore
yesterday's climactic move; reports from Wash-
ington have it that Sumner Welles is expected
to ask a full explantion of Ambassador Gas-
ton Henry-Haye. And the report of Laval's re-
turn to power followed by only a- few hours
a denunciation by Welles of Laval and his sup-
porters. After all these months of sending ma-
terials to French colonies in Africa despite clear
and undeniable indications that these very ma-
terials were falling into the hands of our enemy
to be used against us, it is mildly gratifying to
know that our tactful diplomats in Washington
are at least going to "ask for an explanation" of
this latest action.
But this is war. It is no time for merely seek-
ing explanations. We are now in the painful
process of straining all our resources for the
carrying on of a tremendous conflict, the full
burden of which we cannot even foresee at this
time. This is a total, all-consuming struggle,
and we are signing our own death warrant by
aiding our foe in any way whatsoever.
OUR STATE DEPARTMENT has aided our
enemies too long already. Its response to
Laval's return to power must be clear-cut and
decisive. The only possible answer is a com-
plete breaking off of relations with the Vichy
government. If we do not do this, we are
playing right into the hands of Germany.
Nothing would please the Nazis more than
to see our State Department untinue its pol-
icy of pussyfooting along the path of fearful
uncertainty in its relations with Vichy. Noth-
ing would be so invigorating to the morale of
the German people and their allies. Hitler's
much repeated claims that the democracies
are weak and ineffective would thus find re-
markable confirmation in the eyes of his peo-
ple.
Perhaps even more imperative is the necessity
for immediately stopping all shipments to North
Africa. With Pierre Laval in the saddle of a
German-dominated France, it would be a naive
person indeed who believed that shipments to
Africa will not be used in the long ru tagainst
the Allies.
The weak policy of our government toward
B ELIEVERS in a strong Pan-Ameri-
can movement have long bemoaned
the fact that no real leadership for such a move-
ment ever came from outside the United States.
It has been-and still is in many quarters-
taken for granted that every move for hemi-
spheric unity was sponsored by the United States
in the interests of the United States.
No longer is that true. In the last three months
twb Mexicans have done more for the cause of
democracy and unity in the Americas than Nel-
son Rockefeller and the State Department com-
bined.
VICENTE LOMBARDO TOLEDANO, who has
emerged as the most powerful labor leader in
Latin America and is, in fact, President of the
Confederation of Latin American Workers, has
embarked on a mission which if successful will
make previous attempts to line up South Ameri-
ca and its peoples for hemispheric defense look
sad.
Toledano has an aggressive and brilliant rec-
ord as the Marxist leader of Mexico's left-wing
CTM, an organization comparable to the CIO,
and many diplomats consider him the most po-
tent single force in Latin American industry.
His voluntary, greatly necessary mission to
South America's workers may result in a hemi-
spheric victory effort, one not brought about by
the United States, but established through the
foresight and courage of a citizen of Mexico.
TOLEDANO'S WORK, important as it is, was
made possible only through the efforts of
another Mexican, smooth Ezequiel Padilla, whose
impassioned pleas for a free America saved the
Pan-American Conference from an Argentine-
fostered rupture.
At last there is some hope of a real and final
agreement of the Americas. When men like
Toledano and Padilla join Welles and Hull in its
advocacy, what once seemed a diplomatic impos-
sibility may now become a political reality.
Their actions may result in Padilla's "Magna
Charta of a united America." -hale Champion
United China Relief
Deserves Support ...
THE second annual United China Re-
lief campaign, which opened on
campus Monday, has, because of America's entry
into the war, an entirely different keynote from
similar campaigns of former years. Whereas in
the past it was "China needs America's help,' in
1942 it has become "China needs us and we
need China."
For, while the armies of Chiang Kai-shek
fight on, the more men, guns, planes and tanks
the Jap must pour into China to protect his
holdings, the fewer, men and weapons he can
deploy against us. The program of the United
China Relief in providing aid to the millions who
have lost eve'ything but their honor helps to
maintain the Chinese armies on the fighting
fronts and hastens the day of the eventual
Allied offensive.
E IN AMERICA are accustomned to express-
ing our friendship for China through our
support of charitable organizations. But is this
manner of friendship a one-sided proposition?
On the contrary, it is entirely mutual, though
the fact is little known. Back in 1918 China
was asked to raise $100,000 for the United States
War Work Fund; but China gave instead $1,425,-
000-over 14 times her quota. Again, in 1937,
after the Ohio and Mississippi floods, the people
of China voluntarily raised more money for the
relief of our flood victims than any other coun-
try except Canada.
Thus, as China struggles for t he fourth year
to protect the good earth against tyranny in the
face of grin privation, United China Reiel he-
comes both a gesture of mutual friendship and
an act vital to the defense of America,

0 They Also Serve
Who Only
By TOM THUMB
HAVE HAD numerous inquiries about my
forthcoming novel, "They Also Serve Who
Only," and now, at long last, I am able to reveal
the good news that it is complete.
As yet the date of publication is uncertain,
but a publisher has been located. The book will
be published by a local concern, Tom Thumb
Spicy Publications, Inc., publishers of Gruesome
Comics, Horrible Comics, Sudden Death Comics
and Ghoulish Funnies. The illustrations and
title page will be by the author.
Because I realize that the groat public is
anxious to read this monumental work and has
no patience with the details of printing delays,
I feel it only my duty to print in this column
from time to time excerpts from this great
American work. Although the continuity will
be partially lost, the value to American letters
as a new trend in writing will be a permanent
contribution to our civilization.
Because most of you dopes start a novel by
looking at the ending, I shall start the series of
excerpts from "They Also Serve Who Only" with
the concluding chapter. "
CHAPTER XXXVII
The deep, dank, dark blackness of the night
was scarcely visible through the webbing of bare
branches that formed a lacy frame for the deep,
dank, dark blackness of the night.
Lucy glabbed his hand. "Oh, Wilberforce,
I'm so proud! I'm so proud of you,"
Wilberforce grabbed her hand. "Oh, Lucy, it
was but my duty."
Lucy grabbed his hand. "Oh, Wilberforce, to
think that your blackberry preserves won the
award at the county fair!"
Lucy looked down toward her deep, dank, dark
feet. She could scarcely make out the deep,
dank, dark figure of Wilberforce. She kneeled
at his side.
"Oh, Wilberforce, Wilberforce!" her scream
chopped a rectangular hole in the night. "Wil-
berforce, are you all right?" She felt his fore-
head. It was cold, deep, dark and dank. Wilber-
force was dead.
Lucy reached into his pocket and removed his
wallet. "23, 24, 25, 26 cents," she counted.
She tied it tightly into her handkerchief anc
heaved a deep, dark, dank sigh. She gazed into
the deep, dank, dark distance.
"Oh, well," she sighed. slinging her pick over
her shoulder, "there's always tomorrow."
The first glint of purple dawn shone over the
deep, dank, dark horizon.

WASHINGTON-It looks as if the President
will have to give Postmaster General Frank
Walker the same dose of personal prodding that
finally snapped Attorney General Francis Biddle
out of his moon-gazing lethargy and started him
criacking downi on sedi tot s operaIors.
A venieious f10o(d of Axis proaandla is daily
going through the mails. It is no secret. Walker
knows all about iR. For weeks he has been
bombarded with complaints fron outraged citi-
zens demanding that this subversive activity be
stopped.
The Postal Inspection Service knows all about
it. The oldest and one of the most efficient
sleuthing agencies in the government, the In-
spection Service, is itching to move in.

But the several inumdred otlwr seditious pub-
lications contine to have free ar'ess to t le U. S.
mails to spread their viciousi5gpro-.axis lies and
poison,
Among the worst of them are a number of
foreign language papers edited by alien Fascists,
who are under investigation by the FBI. If he
needed any informalion on thuem, Walker could
get it in a few in uites by a clepi ionie call to the

During the World War not only were such
publications barred from the mails but the Post
Office Department obtained the willink coopera-
tion of express companies to refuse to carry any
matter banned by the Department.
Walker is one of the most genial officials in
Washington. But he is not noted for either ini-
tiative or forcefulness. He never does anything
that might disturb the peace of his easy-going
daily routine of running a government depart-
ment that runs itself.
