MOTHER LOVE For instance, here's Dr. Albert Edward Wiggam contending that it is not natural for a child to love its mother. It is natural for a child to love anyone who gives it loving care. The mere fact that quite a few children grow up and do not love their mothers, especially if the mothers have treated them ill, shows love of a child for its mother is not an inborn trait. Love conies from pleasant association, or from together. experiences Therefore, we can conclude that is there nothing much to this "blood is thicker than water" theory, except pride in the family name. Well, what do you think? Campltell. CONGRESS MUST FACE RESPONSIBILITY Nothing is harder or more unpleasant than to look a grave situation in the face squarely, decide what needs to be done, and do it. Congress is just like the rest of us in that respeet. If it passes an occasional buck, why that is no more than the rest of us do. But now the president and the chief of staff come to congress and tell it that in their judgment the national safety requires that many men now in service for what was to have been a year must remain longer. Either this is necessary or it is not necessary. Congress must decide, and must bear the responsibility for its decision. It is not a question to be decided on sentiment. It is not a question to be evaded. It is a question to be faced and decided. heart-weldi- No. It develops mental concentration in chess, bridge or but it does not mathematics, develop your power to concentrate on your business problems, or how to spend your money wisely, or whether to buy a new car or carry the old one another year, o your marriage problems.

It must decide how well defended will be the outposts when units which have been sent thither are decimated by men sent home. General Marshall, in his biennial report, says, Whatever we do for the national defense should be done in the most efficient manner." Perhaps it would be the most efficient way to persuade large numbers to remain in service voluntarily, offering inducements in pay and conditions. Perhaps it would be best to release only those above 28. Perhaps it would be best to send all home at the end of the year, though it does call to mind the federal troops marching up to the battle of First Bull Run, who actually passed on the road companies marching away from the imenlistments had pending battle because their expired. Washington, whose troops were alwrays melting away, also knew the problem. three-mont- h ... Todays situation must be squarely faced. The people are prepared to accept any decision made by their elected representatives. They will not tolerate any passing of the buck, any failure to explore all aspects of the problem, any wavering in deciding it resolutely on the basis of the national safety and welfare. That is the kind of clear-cu- t decisions which free countries must make to survive in todays w'orld. One Amsterdam with bank permitted only women to do it and employed only women.

Tile State Department drafted a reply to this note, then decided not to answer it at all. Apparently it was caught between Leahys promise and the Coast, Guard's action. The note still is unanswered. And now the State Department, having got itself in an untenable position, is leaning over backwards to appease 1 iehy regarding these ships. Also it is going to unusual lengths in using the ships to appease General Weygand in North Africa.

Not many people realize it, but although we have taken over all of the German, Italian, Danish, and Axis shipping, we have not touched French vessels, except, to guard them from sabotage. And almost no one realizes that we actually have let some of them return with American cargoes to French African waters. In fact, French vessels seem to bear a charmed life as far as the United States is concerned.
