Alexander Paul of Indianapolis, an executive of oriental missions, ajs: "The people of India, China and Japan have come to sec that the white man is not only no better than they are, but in many cases worse. Oriental leaders are beginning to realize that, given an equal chance, the mentality and brains of races the over are about the On Ihib latter point, conccining native intelligence rather than actual level of culture, experts have greatly changed their view in recent years. The question was frankly discussed in a recent "Town Meeting of the Air." Of three specialists in this field, one maintained that there no real difference in the natural capacity of races, but that seeming differences of character and talent were caused by their surroundings. The second expert held that while no basic differences had been proved, further research might find some; and the third said practically the same thing. All agreed that the subordinate races 4iould have a fair chance to develop their possibilities, for their own sake and for the benefit of mankind in general.

There would be a sort of United States of Europe, such as many prophets foretold. It is a wonderful dream, to be met with sympathy and hope rather than cynicism, because of the world's great need of peace and cooperation. It will seem more practical, however, when Britain clears up the situation in India, and when the allied democracies begin to tell what sacrifices of territory and raw materials they will make for the have-not nations, to inaugurate this Golden Age.

ONE MAN'S FUN The lumberjack-cowboy who won the first prize in the men's group of the third national crocheting contest sounds almost too good to be true. It seems that he started to crochet at the age of five years and enjoyed it so much that he kept right on for the next ten years. As a fifteen-year-old lad he "couldn't take it" when other kids made fun of him for his fancy work. Ridicule made him give up his artistic hobby for ten years. At the end of that decade, however, the urge was still so strong within him that he tossed fear of others' opinions aside and proceeded to crochet busily for his own enjoyment.

"I decided that those who wanted to laugh could," he says. "Crocheting was a lot more fun than poker, drinking or rough-housing." It is always refreshing to read of some one who isn't afraid to do the thing he enjoys most and does well.

It would take three or four Thanksgivings to do full justice to our national blessings. Happy days are here again, with the industrial cities full of black smoke.

HISTORIC CORNER The reasons for a lot of our national troubles in this century is that turned a corner in 1900, explains Dr. George T. Hunt of Cleveland College. The American frontier vanished. That frontier had made democracy easy operate.

"It automatically solved all the problems of just by being there. It a place surplus people could go. If times got tough, you needed only to sit tight for at most three years, until the frontier relieved the pressure. For democracy it was a safety valve, and if you've got a safety valve you can go to sleep beside your boiler." In times past, he says, the government ically did go to sleep. In previous depressions it had become traditional that the government should take as little part as possible in the economic life of the nation.

And that was wise when there was an automatic i "cdy. But no policy is wise forever. So in this century, he continues, we've had Theodore Roosevelt's "New Nationalism" and Woodrow Wilson's "New Freedom" and Franklin Roosevelt's "New all devised to solve the new problems forced on the nation by the lack of free land. And "there 1-n'i enough difference between the philosophies of these three men," declares Professor Hunt, "to wad a shotgun." There is not yet in sight, he says, any new iesource or activity in the economic field to ubstitute for the vanished frontier. But he isn't much worried, because he thinks the birthrate "and other natural irces" are working in the country's favor." Exciting news from Washington: They say President is Koing to do nothing.

THAT BODY OF By James W. Barton. M.D. Washington, Dec. 1--Is there one kind of Itw for the employer today and another kind for the employe, and are new members of the federal judiciary appointed by the Roosevelt administration going to interpret statutes hereafter so to favor one political or econ- lomic group rather than another.

These questions will be asked by laymen who are finding it difficult to understand how the commerce clause of the constitution can be interpreted by the supreme court to mean that nearly every business or industry is engaged in interstate commerce when it comes to applying the Wagner labor relations law, but labor can escape prosecution anti-trust laws on the ground that their "sit-down strikes do not restrain interstate commerce. The decision of three judges ot the circuit court of appeals at Philadelphia, all appointed under the Roosevelt administration, was unanimous in saying that a "sit- down" strike did not restrain interstate commerce. This opinion was rendered in spite of the fact that the judges of the same court who resigned or retired recently had ruled that the same "sit- down" strike was conspiracy to interrupt commerce and restrain the shipment of materials by the Apex Company and a violation of the federal laws governing restraint of trade. It is interesting to note that the original decision in Philadelphia which said that the "sit-down" strikes restrained commerce was rendered on the ground that the evidently "affect" Interstate commerce, but "sit-down" strikes do not restrain it. Thus the circuit court of appeals in Philadelphia insists that the Wagner Act is one thing and the anti-trust laws are quite another, and that it Un't a restraint of Interstate commerce at all for a labor union to force a shutdown and prevent the shipment of materials in interstate commerce by seizing plant itself-something far worse than that which was done in the second Coronado case, when the workers prevented freight cars from moving out of a mine with a load of coal.

It may be that the circuit court of appeals judges, in their latest decision, are really construing the law correctly, and that the Supreme Court of the United States was wrong in upholding the Wag- ner law. Certainly thc Philadelphia court makes use of precedents in force before the supreme court upheld the Wagner act, thus making it possible for the New Deal to win on either set of precedents, depending on what the judges feel should be the ruling. This state of affairs--two sets of precedents ignored or complied with at will--cannot but confuse the citizen in attempts to understand his rights. The circuit court of appeals may have thought it was performing a sufficient service by denouncing in words the "sit-down" strike and suggesting that damage suits be transferred to the state courts, but the failure to recognize that the Federal Government has power through its interstate commerce laws to punish "sit-down" strikes affecting interstate shipments is a devastat- BABSON ON BUSINESS Business Hits Ten-Year Peak Babson Says America Afraid ot Prosperity their toll.
