Show xxdh PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1944 Editorial .... Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of Gbd, and kiioweth God. I John 4: . If you wish to be loved, love. Seneca. Dr. New Deal Goes South Old Dr. New Deal may have closed his office for the duration in this country, but practice at his branch office in Puerto Rico promises to hit a new high. And the doctor can thank a wonder-working old remedy called Puerto Bican rum for his new professional profes-sional affluence. So far, the remedy has helped the doctor even more than it has the patients. It works this way. Rum has become, willy-nilly, pretty much the American national na-tional drink, as a hasty glance at the shelves of any grog shop will tell you. The Internal Revenue Bureau has always collected the federal tax on the Puerto Rjcan product, and then turned the whole taiTback to the insular government without e,ven deducting the usual 10 per cent agent' commission. Until liquor distilling was halted in this country, Puerto Rico's rum tax amounted to only $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 a year. The official estimate of the 1944 tax, however, is about $50,000,000. Some sources place it 50 per cent higher. But at any rate, Gov. Rexford Guy Tugwell and his loyal legislature legisla-ture now envision sufficient income to launch a full-scale New Deal on the island, unhampered by any knuckle-rapping from the United States Congress. Accordingly, the Puerto Rico planning, urbanizing and zoning board last month presented to Governor Tugwell a six-year plan of social and physical improvement for the island. The total cost would be $411,-404,646, $411,-404,646, which is the island's entire projected pro-jected income through 1950, plus $13,804,-646 $13,804,-646 of borrowed funds. The program includes many improvements improve-ments which unquestionably are needed, and badly schools, hospitals, roads, housing, sewage systems, other public health measures, meas-ures, more direct relief. But the program, judging from the prospectus, would rule out private business almost entirely. Puerto Rico's manufacturing industries would be developed, financed and apparently run by the government. All this is predicated upon presidential veto of an amendment to a Puerto Rican relief re-lief bill, now pending in congress, which would let the federal treasury retain half the collected rum tax, and spend $25,000,000 a year for relief out of that sum, with Puerto Rico matching the amount. And proponents propon-ents of the six-year plan seem to take this veto for granted, if the bill ever gets to the veto stage. Meanwhile, continental supporters of the plan can always drink more rum, thus swelling swell-ing the Puerto Rican treasury. Those agin the insular New Deal will just have to switch to beer. The Washington Say It Isn't Sol Newspaper photographs recently showed Secretary of the Interior Ickes emerging from a grand jury room with his arm in a fling and without a necktie, after he had testified in the Harry Hopkins "purloined letter" mystery. Newspaper accounts reveal re-veal that, shortly before the picture was taken, Mr. Ickes had lunched with President Roosevelt. We have studied all the available data on this matter, and have reched the inescapable inescap-able conclusion that Barefoot Harold must have lunched at the White House sans cravat. Shades of our frontier ancestors! Such informality hasn't been seen in the executive mansion since Andy Jackson was president. Nobody Said No The Constitution framers united 13 independent inde-pendent states into a national federation, founded upon th ethesis that the federal government gov-ernment and its officials should have only those powers and privileges expressly conferred con-ferred upon them. Constitutional lawyers say that, since the Constitution contains no express prohibition, prohibi-tion, a President can resign. The occasion for the interpretation isn't important. We aren't among those who are impressed with iomebody'8 guess that Mr. Roosevelt will run for a fourth term and, if elected, will resign to head the Unitea Nations. We are interested in this further evidence of a new trend in constitutional philosophy. Apparently, now, anything not specifically forbidden has become the prerogative of the federal government and its officers. There as much virtue in the old concept.

A Daily Picture of What's Going on in National Affairs WASHINGTON The details are being, carefully care-fully withheld until the program is fully worked out, but the northwest congressional delegation, led by 8enator Homer Bone and Representative John Coffee of Washington, got definite assurance that there will be a post-war redistribution of industry, when they called on the president recently. The president has no intention of leaving western and northwestern states marooned after the war without adequate basic-material industries such as steel and aluminum, he informed Bone, Coffee, Representative Cecil R. King of California and George E. Murphy, a representative of the Steel Iron Corporation of Washington State. One thing the president has in mind Is using the Smaller War Plants corporation to speed the Industrial development of western areas which are rich In iron ore, alumina and other raw materials but most depend upon the east for processing them. Before the war, this meant that steel was hauled thousands of miles across the country from eastern nills to be used in far west shipyards and other industries. "As far as I am able, I Intend to see the country coun-try economically and industrially self-sufficient after the war. This isn't a promise, it's a pledge," the president told his callers. He went on to say that he hadn't changed his views "one lota." His visitors brought out that the redistribution program probably would meet with opposition from the railroads, which wouldn't relinquish, without a fight .their profitable transcontinental business in hauling raw materials. Roosevelt agreed and added that the railroads also were opposing his efforts to abolish north- south frieght rate differentials, which were imposing impos-ing hardships on the south. As an Illustration, the president said that, some years ago, he had sent a box of trinkets to his son Elliott at Fort Worth, Texas. "The express bill was about $3.50, as 1 recall," said the president. "But Elliott didn't want the stuff and reshlpped it back from Fort Worth to Hyde Park. This cost about $6.50, almost twice what I paid for express charges to Fort Wortn, though the box travelled the same distance each way." SLAPPING SENATORS AROUND Roosevelt had not seen Senator Bone since the two-fisted Washingtonian came out of a hospital several months ago following a hip operation. Bone is as fit as ever, but when the president inquired about his condtion, he replied that his hip was still giving him a little trouble. "Why don't you go down to Warm Springs for a short rest?" the president suggested. "The treatments treat-ments might help you." Bone declined the invitation, explaining, "We have an expert rubber by the name of Scott in the senate gymnasium who has been doing me a world of good, Mr. President. In fast, I don't think I could get better treatment anywhere. This man nas been slapping senators around for twenty-five ears and making them like it." "Slapping senators around!" howled Roosevelt. 'Say, that sounds like a pretty good Job." "Yes," replied Bone. "I guess there have been times, Mr. President, when you would have liked to be in his shoes.' LABOR-GO-ROUND Labor is preparing to start a major offensive m congress, aimed at ousting Assistant President Jimmy Byrnes. Labor men say their drive against Byrnes will make the purge campaign against former OPA chief Leon Henderson "look like a tea party." Rightly or wrongly, AFL and rail brother hood leaders accuse Byrnes of Instigating oeneral George Marshalls charge that strikes were prolong' ing the war and greatly increasing casualties . . . (Inside fact is, Byrnes didn't know the president was going to come out for a National Service Act) . . . George Harison, chief of the brotherhood of railroad clerks, says that non-operating union spokesmen at no time proposed overtime pay as a compromise solution for the rail wage dispute. Thus he says, was the president's idea . . . Harrison struck a patriotic note for harmony following settlement set-tlement of the dispute with a "thank you" letter to the president for his assistance, assuring him: "I am confident they (railroad workers) will render loyal and patriotic service and back up your program pro-gram to win the war." A KISS FOR FDR When kindly Mrs. Fred Vinson, wife of the sconomic stabilizer, was visiting her home in Kentucky, Ken-tucky, she was talking to two old ladies who greatly .dmired President Roosevelt. "Do you ever see the president?" they asked. "Yes, when the Judge and I go to White House receptions," Mrs. Vinson replied. "Well, the next time you see him, won't you :iss him for us?" Mrs. Vinson laughingly promised. So the next ime she visited the White House and was shaking ands with the president, she told him of the rsation. "But why don't you deliver the message?" shot oack FDR. NOTE Mrs. Vinson told friends afterward that she didn't quite have the nerve. UNRRA BENEFITS FOR INDIA Two-fisted Representative Karl Mundt of South Dakota, an isolationist of pre-Pearl Harbor days, had to fight an uphill battle with the state department depart-ment before he put the "India" amendment into the UNRRA bill giving the starving Indian people a chance to get United Nations relief. Representative Sol Bloom of New York and other administration leaders were for railroading an UNRRA bill which would have excluded India from direct post-war relief. So when Mundt tried to include India in the bill while It was being considered con-sidered inside the house foreign affairs committee, he was voted down, even though he offered to bring former Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson to tell of the intense suffering in India as a result of the, war. ' Then, hoping to head off the Mundt amendment amend-ment on the floor, Bloom called a secret meeting of the foreign affairs committee to reconsider the India question. At this meeting, he was surprised to discover that Representative James P. Richards, of South Carolina, and others had switched their positions. "I voted against the Mundt amendment when we considered it some weeks back," Richards told Bloom, "but I've changed my position because it some facts that have been brought to my attention recently. If a country contributes $35,000,000 to the UNRRA fund, as India has offered to do, it should share in the benefits." Though Britain and, .consequently, our state narine;it were originally opposed to including the starving people of India in the UNRRA appropriation. ap-propriation. India will now be entitled to a full ;hare of Allied post-war relief, as well as a voice a UNRRA councils. (Copyright, 1944. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) A One-Man Job DIRECTOR NAMED f WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 ftlD ' Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the war production board today named V. L. Board to be director of the Denver region.

Sitting in the air-conditioned flatness of her Pullman Kitty Bishop felt oppressed b'y the air by Newark, and marooned in loneliness. She was on her way back from Florida where she had spent three months acquiring not sun-tan, but a divorce. With a long, smooth pull the train started on again for the last few minutes' run into New York. Kitty stared out Into the gray spring day, listening to the wheels clicking steadily along the rails and trying to take in th fact that she had her divorce from Col Una Bishop and that now she had it her own life had Jumped Its tracks. The porter came through and confiscated her luggage. If she had been traveling with Collins she wouldn't have had to give the luggage lug-gage a thought. That, she supposed, was one of the reasons she felt depressed in trains. It wasn't traveling trav-eling that depressed her, it was traveling alone. There was something some-thing about it that undermined her self-confldence like an unbecoming unbecom-ing hat , Alarmed by the way her mind was sabotaging her courage, Kitty disciplined herself. She did a little work with compact and lipstick, because there was never any point in looking as bad as you felt. Then she deliberately shunted hef thoughts away from amazed wonder that three brief years of marriage should out-balance all the preceding twenty-odd years of he life. She had traveled, for instance, in-stance, many, many more miles alone than she had with Collins. And yet the total of the miles she had traveled with him, the few years she'd spent as his wife, added up to a total of emotional experience experi-ence that made living alone a sharper readjustment than she'd quite foreseen. She decided it would be far more constructive to concentrate on her Immediate destination instead in-stead of worrying about the uncertainties uncer-tainties of the new direction her life had skidded into. It was a relief, re-lief, and Ehe admitted it, to know that instead of lonely indecision in New York she was bound for the definiteness of suburban Dore-mus, Dore-mus, New Jersey, to stay for a while with her brother, Ben Graham, and his wife, Peg. Kitty was devoted to Peg and Ben; and she also reasoned optimistically that you can't go on feeling alone in a house like the Grahams'-that has three children in it. The train rushed into roaring black nothingness. Kitty sternly refused to let herself hope that Ben might have driven in to Jfew York to meet her. "UT in Doremus, a wave of chfl-dren chfl-dren and tumult rushed out of the house. A door banged" and there was a shock of quiet.1 Peg Graham hoped Kitty could stand noise. Peg was wholly relieved that her $lster-in-law had agreed to come, but she did have qualms. For one thing, Doremus was an old : pair of saddleshoes to her because she'd lived there all her life except for a few years at college and in New York, but she worried a little about how easy a fit it would be for Kitty. Ben refused to do any -worrying at all. He was fond of his younger sister, gave as his considered consid-ered opinion that she'd always had more brains than sense, and gone off to meet the Florida train with a brother's philosophical attitude toward a sister's ups and downs. Peg, watchfully waiting for his return with Kitty, assuaged her worries by a fit of irritation at Ben. Beti never went into the publisher's publish-er's office in which he worked on Saturdays, but he'd gone oft bright and early that morning even though Kitty's train wasn't due until late afternoon. Clutching at a straw, in Peg's opinion, to save himself from having to clean the cellar as he'd promised. It was hard for Peg to think of the Bishops as she had to: separate and clouded. She could still see Collins and Kitty coming in together to-gether like a flourish of brass, and like everything bright and broken, their marriage seemed more broken DMDKK(DW ITADtP The Chopping Block ForunTn Agin'em Business Campaign I am not one of those who be- iieve that juvenile delinquency.

Now, as always, a passion for profit and power is hidden under a veneer of partiotism. Now,' as always, "free enterprise" appears as a knight in shining white armor, hurtling with utter self-abandon self-abandon against some dragon that threatens "the American way of life," or national existence Itself. And, as usual, emblazoned on the knight's shield is a motto or slogan: slo-gan: "America for Americans," "Save the Constitution," "Keep America American." The implications of such slogans slo-gans are always fairly obvious. Propaganda cannot afford to be subtle. "America for Americans" clearly implies that some wicked element in the United States, preferably pre-ferably the government, Is trying to give the country away perhaps, per-haps, to the British. "Save the Constitution" suggests that some one in Washington, by choice, the president, is treasonably attempting attempt-ing to govern the people in disregard dis-regard of the basic law.

Collins, busy gaining rapidly on a brilliant legal future, now further accelerated by the war, occasionally occasion-ally shouted at Ben over the telephone tele-phone but to Peg, his shouts were even more obscure than Kitty's silence. For several weeks Peg had been working up a desire to smack both of them for being so off-hand and close-mouthed. Her resentment evaporated the minute Kitty came in. Laden with an indescribable confusion of luggage, lug-gage, Ben kicked the door shut behind him and said expansively to his wife, "Well, here we are. Kitty wants a bath." "That's for me to say,M objected Kitty with normal contentiousness. But she looked so young and mulish that Peg's easily touched heart was agitated. It was five o'clock and, punctual to the dot, Bunny Graham came in and started upstairs for the first of his evening radio serials. "Hello," he said absent-mindedly as he passed. Halfway upstairs up-stairs he seemed to remember that he had seen something unusual. "Kitty! Hello! When did you come? I expected you all day." "How's everything?" said Kitty Interestedly. "Did you get that cocoanut skull I sent you?" "Yes," said Bunny, "thank you . . . I thought I did thank you, in a letter from mother." Kitty reassured him. He sat down on the steps and examined hfer for an instant in a puzzled diagnostic way. "Where's Collins?" fJEG sighed.

"What's that? Like what?" . "Oh . . . about Collins, for Instance, In-stance, and why he didn't go with her." "Didn't he?" "Oh Bunny, you know he didn't" "Busy, I suppose," said Bunny.

Bunny looked grieved, then turned .scarlet, his eyes filled with tears as humiliating consciousness of his blunder, or having blundered, blun-dered, struck him.

Cao Be Continued) We've pretty much come to understand that a great man may be a menace, like Hitler, or a failure such as Woodrow Wilson who died with the bitterness of seeing his brightest dreams trampled tram-pled underfoot by an indifferent and lethargic people. We've all known humble men so good that they were great in the eyes of someone. Men like a grandfather of mine. He was a frontier preacher preach-er who served without pay, and made his living as a shoemaker. In his. later years his youngest daughter, my mother, supported him for many years by teaching school In the "board round," wind swept district schools of the Dakota Da-kota prairies. Yet forty years after my grandfather's death the president of a great university In a commencement day address cited him as the man who had had the greatest influence upon that uni versity president's career, and called him the greatest man he had ever known. Most of us have known people like that. In my generation we were still being told that any ambitious boy could become rich, and the strongest motive we had was the accumulation of pyroperty under our system of "free enterprise." By being faithful servants to the rich we might in time have faithful faith-ful servants of our own. That story like the great man myth, would only get a merry ha-ha from the disillusioned youth of today. What our more realistic youth of today knows Is that they must look forward to holding down a Job. This excepts, of course, those born to money, and those who hope to enter the professions although it can be shown that those, too, are Jobs. And we can't get away from the fact that the vast majority of jobs in our industrial in-dustrial system are routine, repetitious, repe-titious, and tiresome. With the prospect of years of boredom ahead youth looks for adventure in other ways. With social security secu-rity and old age pensions in the offing there is little incentive to save money. The inevitable tendency ten-dency is to forget the future and live for the passing thrill of the moment And just here, in my opinion, Is the fertile breeding ground of delinquency. We can't turn the wheels of They, have shown that the system of 'free enterprise" the world over is a decadent one. It Is a decadent one because it has progressively failed to meet the economic and moral demands of enlightened humanity. hu-manity. Just as slavery In the Western world gave way to feudalism, feud-alism, and feudalism to capitalism, so capitalism Is giving way to something else whether we like it or not. Nothing can forever check the dynamic of human need. If the "free enterprisers" could only see that the spirit of tie world calls for deep and far-reaching far-reaching changes In their system, if they only knew that there Is a malignant growth at the heart of their system, and If they would only submit to violent surgery, they might keep "free enterprise" alive for years to come. But "free enterprisers" chronically look backward. With them what has been must always be. They know nothing of their growing malady, and they are characteristically characteris-tically incapable of learning. They refuse to believe that the common man is Indeed ominously on the march, and that "free enterprise" is not a necessary part of his travelling equipment. The only dangers they see on their horizon are a few "evil-designing men," a few 'crack-pot professors," a few "alien idealogies." a few "foreign isms." Exterminate these, they say, and "free enterprise" will create a millennium. And so most of them are now dreaming of a post-war world dressed out in old, pre-New Deal clothes, a world in which their acquisitive ac-quisitive instincts will know no government control, and in which jungle rights will never be challenged chal-lenged by human rights. How very simple and how very stupid! And. by the way, I still believe be-lieve that the local and vocal champions of "free enterprise look better in the pews than they do in the pulpits. P. A.
