'So You've Given Up the Violin, Eh?' 4 Invasn Calls for rayer THE NEWS for which freedom loving people the world over have anxiously waited since the fall of France in June, 1940, came at 3:32 a. m. today. Allied landings On the coastal ports of Hitler's European Fortress are now a reality. Even as this is written, thousands of young men in the Allied Liberation Army, keen for action after months of waiting, are swarming on the northern coast of France. Each of us knows someone who may be in this initial drive to free Europe from the mad "tyrant. Each of us knows someone who, at this moment, may be giving his life that we may live in freedom. This is no time for jubilation-it is a time for prayer. The price of the invasion in human life and endeavor will dwarf the blood, sweat and tears that have been sacrificed to date in this universal holocaust. Yet the invasion itself does not mark victory. It is only the initial step°' i the liberation of Europe-and its success is not certain. The Allied nations have come a long way since the black days of June, 1940, but there is still no time to rejoice. Ve believe that truth and freedom will tri- Jobs for All SCHOLARS AND ACADEMICIANS frequently in their studies deal with problems which are social in character. Some of these men refuse to recognize this fact, however, and treat all problems, whether those of feeding the starving millions of Europe or of decipher- ing a'papyrus about ancient Egypt, exactly alike. But when human desires, needs and emotions aTe concerned no such ivory tower attitude can be permitted. The proclamation by DLr. Emerson P. Schmidt, economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in the Juie issue of Nation's Busi- ness reveals just such an attitude. Dr. Schmidt, examining the question of post-war employ- nent, declares that the demand for full- employment "represents an impossible ideal." He states that the term "has become a symbol like the flag .. . though no one knows precisely what it means." However, in stating alternative meanings for full employment, such as "every- one has two or three job offers open to -him at all times; everyone quitting or losing his job on . given day can be reemployed the next morn- ing; wages must be as demanded etc," Dr. Schmidt himself gives the definition most com- monly accepted, namely, "that everyone able and willing to work has a job." That "everyone able and willing to work has a job!" Is that such an extravagant. demand? The income of society and' the nation depends entirely upon the amount of work which the people do, If all the people who want work can have it, the income of society will be that much increased. In the boom days of 1929, the Brookings Institute estimated that in the United States the unused production capaeu y was about 19% of the total. Dr. Schmidt also declares "The demand that' private eniterprise provide a job for every- one just won't stand examination." This is a nice, high-sounding statement, calculated to impress some of the reader's of Nation's Busi- umph, but before that day of victory, the cost in human flesh and suffering will mount ten-fold:. As developments of the invasion are flashed over the world let us pray for the safety and success of our troops on the French battle- grounds. Let us also pray that each of us w4il be capable of practicing love and tolerance once victory is won so that the truth and freedom for which our loved ones are dying Shall never. again be trampled to earth. DREW PEARSON'S WASHINGTON, June 5-Mrs. Roosevelt's blunt press-conference remarks about Winston Churchill's recent speech in .the House of Com- mons brought out publicly what .those around the White House have known for some time-- that the First Lady never has been too enthusi- astic about the Prime Minister., Last summer, Churchill came to Washing- ton after Quebec and, together with Harry Hop- kins, occupied one section of the' White House. There, military conferences continued day and night, with the Prime Minister walking up and down the White House cozidors iii flapping bedroom slippers and a great gold-and-red silk kimrono. At that time, Mrs. Roosevelt is said to have telephoned from New York to a member of her family in the-'White House and to have tactfully inquired "Is that man still there?" (She was not referring to the President).' It is not the way the Prime Minister dr'essed or made himself at home in the White House that bothered Mrs. Roosevelt. But, according to friends, she did feel that Mr. Churchill wore her husband out with his long hours. (He often sleeps from noon until about 7 P. M., then stays up until about 3 A.'M. Meanwhile,. the President had to face his regular routine all day long). Also, Mrs. Roosevelt. to her intimates, has made no secret of her belief that Mr. Churchill is living in the political past as far. as the Empire is concerned. She has enter- tained atler liberal viewsSon India and other British possession, such as Hongkong. There- fore, it was no surprise to friends when Mrs. Roosevelt, asked about Churchill's speech and his references io Franco Spain, replied: "The speech was very characteristic 9f Mr. Churchill." "Mr. Churchill has thought a certain way for sixty years." I R ther Be Righ By Sauel u Graufton -Is e e eei NEW YORK, JUNE 5-The Political Action Committee of the CIO is not going to be squashed like a fly, Nor will it be blown away like a puff of smoke. Nor yet will it be destroyed by laughter. Its opponents think it is import-r ant, but it. is more important than they think it is. ,. , . . There is no country in the world in which labor has not entered national politics after become conscious of itself as labor, and to suppose that America is ezempt from this process is to suppose nonsense. To fight an inevitability of this sort with petty ordinances is akin to fining history $2 for parking by a fireplug, and it will not work. If we had a large body of philosophers in Congress, which we do not, there might even be a certain measure of discreet joy produced in their ranks by the appearance of the PAC, for they would realize that by choosing the methods it has, the PAC has subscribed to the American way, of ballots and representative government. It has, in fact, turned its back on violence, disorder and revolution, and has accepted to play the game without changing the rules. A true conservative should not be altogether dis- pleasure might be tempered by the reflection pleased by that, .even though his philosophical that it is his skin the PAC is after. It is only men who have read books, how- ever, who will find any such mitigating circum- stances with which to comfort themselves. Yet those who have read a book or two will know that there are many choices labor can, and, in other countries, has made, running all the way from anarchism to communism. rJHE QUESTION of how labor is to use its power'm is an old question and a fierce question. There is nearly a century of debate in labor annals, between those who have favored such methods as the general strike, and others who have favored contemptuous indifference to all instrumrentalities of government, and still, others who have favored the way of ordinary democratic political action. Surely there are men alive who remember the I. W. W. Such men will realize that in countries, as in England, where labor has chosen the course of standard political activity, it has by the same decision, turned its back forever and irre- vocably upon violence and revolution. There is no returning. Once labor is thoroughly involved in demo- cratic politics, why then, that; is where labor is, in democratic politics; and once in, .it will stay in." I acdlit that this is the large view, and that it may perhaps not appeal to individual Con- gressmen who find themselves pulled off the roost by the PAC. Yet even these men, if they really cherish representative institutions, ought to realize that labor's decision to work through the medium of representative institutions is "EY, EDIE, how do you make prune whip?" "I don't know. I've never made it. Why don't you look it up in the cook book." "Okay . . . You know, sometimes I think 'I've learned more about cooking in the co-op than I have about any other subject since I've been in school." "Well, that's certainly not the co- ops fault in YOUR case! You make out the work schedule yourself, and you only work five or six hours a week like the rest of us. Your trou- ble is that you like to stay up all night in bull sessions instead of studying." "Maybe so. But I've learned a darn sight more that way than I would have if I'd plowed through that dull sociology textbook." "Agreed, Remember that night we all gave our impressions of "Strange Fruit"? You thought it was better than "Native Son", and all the northern white kids in the house were very impressed with it?" "Yes, and how Joyce, who knows something about the problem of being a Negro in America, said that she didn't think the book was as new and remarkable as all that . . . she was much more interested in Lillian Smith, the author's, list of things people can do about the race prob- lem in the south today. She divided the things into Those for Timid People, Those with a Little Spunk, and Those Willing to Get their Necks in Trouble." "That's one thing I've learned in the co-op: about the races of man- kind, and how much absolute hooey most people believe without ever looking into the scientific facts." "I heard that a new girl in one of the co-ops didn't catch on, though, and seemed to think that the Roch- dale principles on hich our co-ops are based are just on the books. She was amazed when she found out we live up to the theories the Rochdale weavers worked out a hundred years ago in England." "I know. Most people seem to have trouble understanding that we actually do have; democratic govern- ment, with one member-one vote, and that we don't discriminate in membership, and that there is a basic equality in all the houses." " was thinking the other day how funny it is. We are all brought up to believe in individual initiative and private enterprise and Always Watch Out for Number One. But now we're in a war and' everyone is sud- denly talking about cooperation and unity. 'Cooperate to abolish the black market.' 'Be neighborly-share your ride.' 'Disunity is bad for the war effort: Work Together.' And that's what the co-ops have been talking about all along." " THINK that after the war, the co-op movement can go a long way in this country, especially in the colleges. There are going to be a lot of returning soldiers who will want to go to school as inexpensively as possible ... " "Yes, and they'll know how to make their beds, wash windows, keep accounts, AND some of them will be able to make prune whip ", "Sometimes we forget that there are co-ops all over the world. In the Soviet districts in China there is quite a bit of heavy production which is co-operative. There are a lot of consumer co-ops in Eng- land, producer co-ops in the Baltic states, and in Russia the collect- ive farms and many of the indu- stries are completely co-operative." "Maybe after the war when we start up some of the fellows co-ops on this campus again, the co-operat- ive movement can be more recog- nized by the University . . . in the an endorsement of those institutions; and there have been strong labor leaders in the past who would have condemned so amiably orthodox an approach to ,politics on the part of labor as being pretty sissy. The important point is not that the PAC has got Mr. Starnes of Alabama between the eyes, but that the most leftward wing of American labor has chosen to use precisely the methods which the Republican Party 'uses, and no stronger nor stranger ones. It has endorsed the game, as it stands, and, thirty years from now, that decision may turn out to have been more important than the out- come of the election itself. These are long perspectives, and it is a little hard to ask candidates to take time out of a hot primary for a long perspective. But anyone whose faith in America is more than a mere verbalism will not feel that the PAC means the end of our civi- lization. He will feel that old insti- tutions have won a new endorsement. (Copyright, 1944, N.Y. Post Syndicate) classroom, I mean. Certainly sociol- ogy and economics and government classes could -well use our co-ops as practical examples of the theories they're presenting." "Yes, and our American Lit. courses too. They could use our co-ops in contrast with the Utopian bits of heaven like the Brook Farm of Emerson and Thoreau." "Maybe that's the answer to your' not studying enough' if we can get them fitted into your courses, you won't need to read your texts, and will be able to go to class and spout about our conversations on man and society, from the co-operative point of view." "And the fun there is in working together, and the pride of workman ship Carlyle talks about." "That's right. Say, how is that prune whip coming? It's almost time for first call for dinner." -Ann Fagan DAILY OFFICIAL' BULLETIN TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1944 VOL.

It can provide widespread employment; it can set in motion a current of business activity extending from the 40-acre farm to the huge manulacturmg plant. How important this contribution can be was indicated by the statement of Harry Slattery, REA Administra- tor, read to a recent St. Louis con- ference of representatives of Mis- souri's 39 rural electric co-operatives. Only about 25 per cent of Missouri's farm are now receiving electric ser- vice. Extension of this service after the war in accordance with plans drawn up by REA would involve a line-building program costing $22,- 500,000. And, said Mr. Slattery, the wiring of farm buildings and the pur- chase of electrically-operated appli- concurrent business in the way of the ances and machines probably would call for expenditure of an equal amount. Hereis a ready-made program for post-war development which could be started quickly and which would pro- vide a volume of self-supporting bus- iness of approximately $45,000,000 in Missouri alone. It would have com- parable dimensions in other states. But the inauguration and suc- cessful operation Hof this program can be expected only if Congress protects REA from the political spoilsmen and incompetent bureau- crats of the Department of Agricul- ture who are trying to destroy it. Why can't Congress act speedily and courageously to restore REA's independent status so that it may operate as efficiently as does TVA? Unless REA, and the people, are given this protection, one of the soundest of the New Deal enterprises is doomed to tragic crippling. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch Building. Dr. N. J.
