Thoughts on Father's Day
Perfect objectivity, conceivably a desirable
quality in an editorial, cannot be achieved in
respect to every category of subject matter. On
today's subject for example, we confess to the
handicap of some degree of self -consciousness
which may in part be compensated by the ad
vantage ol first-hand knowledge.
And if our approach to the subject seems
tilted, be apprised that fatherhood is produc
tive of certain embarassments not peculiarly
limited to those fathers who must on occasion
iiscuss the matter in print.
A father's earliest if not his greatest diffi
culty, it seems to us, is. that of learning his
properly modest place in the scheme of things.
- He need? to learn with as little pain as possible,
gracefully to take a back seat and not get in the
way of the important members of the -family.
And then there is the matter of wisdom and
experience. Fathers have a terrible time get
ting it through their thick skulls that since
fatherhood is a confining occupation whose
persistent demands upon their time serve to
protect them from the rough realities of life,
It is perfectly understandable that their sons
in a few brief years pick up so much more
worldly knowledge-than they possess, and such
superior solutions to all the world's problems.
Father's day! Why should father have a
day? Let someone else answer. It's too much
for father. And right here you get a bit of
insidght into father psychology. Fathers feel
rather painfully that they have not been able
to contribute much to family life. Oh, such
minor items as food, shelter, clothing and dimes
for the movies; also, back in the pre-war days,
an automobile, tires and gasoline but of course
those days are gone. After all, a trust fund
could do as well, and much more reliably.
If they contribute much more than that, fathers
are scarcely aware of it. And if they do,
why naturally that is what Father's day is all
about.
As we. started out to say and as you readily
can see, this is an embarrassing subject par
ticularly in view of the fact that, believe it or
not, our children can read. There is however
one phase of fatherhood this particular writer
can discuss with the freedom of objectivity, due
to the fact that his son is somewhat below the
age of military service. A timely topic, too.
In all seriousness, it must be a momentous
experience to see one's son depart for training
camp or naval station. On such occasions fath
ers share with mothers certain somber thoughts
of the grim purpose for which the preliminary
training is undergone, and of the possible re
sults. But because of that quirk of father
psychology described above, it is our guess that
father's thoughts tend more to the question
of how his son will "take it," how well he will
perform in this, perhaps his first experience
in totally independent living and doing. Grave,
self-questioning thoughts what sort of ex
ample has this boy had before him, that one
might expect much of him in this critical test
of manhood?
Of course at such a time of parting, any dis
play of emotion in inhibited. But later when a
father learns, as nearly all "fathers of boys in
the service do, that his son is doing his part
well, is meeting the test with a little or much
to spare, has perhaps performed outstandingly
in a crisis; it is then that masculine tears-are
apt to be shed tears of humility and pride
and joy. A father what has he ever done,
what has he ever been able to do, to expect
- IMS? This is more than a father has a right to
expect. This is all that a father could ask.
Anniversary of a Riddle .
One year ago today the world still pondered
the great Russian riddle. Just where did the
- Union of Social Soviet Republics fit into the
war picture? For almost two years preponder
ant opinion had been that Russian and German
totalitarianism were off the same bolt of cloth
and there was some question as to whether the
'two Big Fellows had bothered to scissor them
part. This view, so logically promulgated by
the Rauschnigg school of political analysts and
so eagerly accepted by most Americans in their
ingrained hatred of both systems, had been
- strongly bolstered by the non-aggression pact
of 1939 and seemingly confirmed by Russia's
assault upon Finland a few months later.
One year ago today there was strong evidence
that this theory was poorly founded. Sharp dis
agreement between Hitler and Stalin was evi
dent but a firm Rauschnigg disciple might argue
that it was a shallow dispute involving only
personal jealousy and the form of collaboration.
One year ago tomorrow the original Russian
riddle was solved. In a disjointed, incompre
hensible dawn oration which aroused new
queries as to his sanity, Hitler summed up his
complaints against Stalin and then sent his war
machine crashing into soviet-held territory and
into the biggest and most destructive battle in
human history. A few sentences from Hitler's
address are pertinent today:
The march of the German armies has no
- , precedent . . . The task is to safeguard Europe
. and thus save alL I. have therefore today de
cided to five (he fate of the German people
and the reich and of Europe again into the
hands of our soldiers: -
Not that it makes any more sense than it did
a year ago, but you can see there the persuasive-.
ness to Hitler and to most of the world of
the record for invincibility that his armies had
been building. That myth has been pretty
well exploded.
Though the original Russian riddle was solved
a year ago tomorrow, a new one of comparable
magnitude was created. At the time it was
.phrased thus: How long could Russia hold out t
' . !No one outside of Russia had a serious suspicion
. then ' or for . some months thereafter, that it
should' have been phrased: Who will win
Germany or Russia?
Tied to with this riddle were several more.
What military power idid Russia actually pos
sess? Closely related to that, what actually
was the economic condition of Russia, so loom
Sly pictured theretofore? V And finally, what
thould be the attitude of America, hose

hatred for communism was of longer standing
and averaged up pretty well in intensity with
their hatred of fascism?
The first two of these subsidiary riddles have
been unfolded to a large extent but not quite
to the point of serving to solve the primary
riddle as it is now worded. Russia has held out
for a year to what extent winter was an
ally is still a matter for debate. The third; our
relation to communism, is still pretty much in
its original obscurity even though today we
are actually and actively allied to Russia. For
some of us it is no riddle at all. For others
it still is a headache, one which throbs pain
fully on occasion as when the latest Harry
Bridges decision is periodically reversed. Our
own solution is: Forget it while we win the
war.
Can Russia hold out until another winter,
meanwhile barring Hitler's way to the Caucasus
oil wells? The world's fate hinges largely upon
the answer. Frankly, we are tired of guessing,
increasingly wary of predictions that the an
swer cannot long be delayed. It has seemed to
be "just around the corner" all these months.
All we know for sure is that the Russian Bear
js still fighting and that time is on his side
and ours.
MALLON
WASHINGTON, June 21 A letter to Private
Charles R. Holloman, school squadron flight
, field, Mississippi:
In our search for peace and justice in the post
war world, we are not con
fronted with a choice between
Utopias.
It is not a question of mak
ing a Heaven on earth by one
means or another rather it is
a problem of looking at the
world as it is and deciding
what we can do about it. Pri-
marily we must confine our-
selves in this, as we do in our
daily lives, to considering what
la likelv to work.
That is why I have objected
to unrestrained idealism of
some of our leaders. I am
afraid that they will erect a premature idealistic
state without a practical foundation and then it
will crash, as they all have before, and all our
hopes of peace and security will be thrown back
another 50 years. I
That is why I distrust the theory you suggest of
a world democratic state or union of democracies,
completely disarmed and ruled by an international
police force. If you will analyze it fairly you will
see it cannot work.
China has 457,000,000 people, which is much more
than anyone else and more man three times our
population. In a world democracy such as you
suggest, she would be the biggest force, the major
power, because she could outvote anyone. Next
would be India with 350,000,000 or more. A majori
ty of the1 population of the world is in Asia.
A democracy of the world would turn over to
Asia the control of the world, although our com
mon sense tells us such an idea is unthinkable.
They do not even want it or suggest it. Their
people have not come to the degree of education
where they can rule themselves very efficiently.
But to think of dismantling our own hard-won
superiority as a nation in favor of any foreign group
seems just as illogical to me. Just because they
might adopt the democratic system would be no
guarantee of our security.
Japan had, and still has, a democratic system,
modeled after Great Britain, with a prime minis
ter, a cabinet and an elected parliament called
the diet. But that system, we have found in this
war, if we did not know before, was secretly con
trolled by an empire clique, and therefore, it had
the effect of a dictatorship.
Even Hitler only nullified the power of the
reichstag, did not abolish it. Moscow dispatches
only today begin to speak of the supreme Soviet as
a parliament.
You cannot safely risk the future security of the
United States on the creation alone of a democracy
in Germany or Japan or elsewhere. You must
have something more, much more.
As to the international police force and the
question of whether it would work to keep unruly
nations in line, the practical point for consideration
is who will run the police force.
If some nation other than ours controls it, we
will not be satisfied. If we control it, other nations
will not be satisfied. If we go into it on the basis
of population, India and China would control it,
and I do not think that quite meets our announced
American demand for maintenance of our way of
life.
For myself, I do not care if you establish an in
ternational police force as long as my country has
the best army, navy and air force in the world,
a better one than the police force. Then I know
we will get a square deal, and have peace.
You say it will be expensive to maintain such
a large American force. Not as expensive as this
war. Not as expensive as Vice President Wallace's
plan to" revise the living ways and diet of the
world at our expense.
Not as expensive as any other plan now being
considered to lend our money after .the war for
the industralization of China, South America, India
so they can make things we formerly made for
them or could sell to them.
You say young men would not want to be drafted
and would not want to volunteer for such a large
force. You may thing so now, because pacifism
and impractical treaties before Pearl Harbor im
bued many of our people with the fallacious notion
that the defense of their country was not a sacred
duty. That feeling is passing. We know different
now and we can make that sacred duty an honor
able profession after this war. We have made the
first and greatest move in that direction by increas
ing the soldier's basic pay scale from $30 to $50 a
month with living and allowances for dependants
The $30 a month pay pittance of pacifist days dis
couraged young, men from entering upon arms
as a profession.
The new army, navy and air force will be the
best scientific training, ground in the world for
young men, because modern sciences now absorb
that field. It will be an army of peace and not of
conquest,: devoted to democracy, and not terri-
tonal aggrandizement.
I want all the same- things you want I think
they wiQ come some day when human beings
throughout the world are educated In the wisdom
of unselfishness.
But to bulwark ourselves against future catas
irophlesv it is essential that we face the world as it
. is, and -not as we' would like to have it

Pauline paused for bream and
Allen filled the pause.
"The ink on the changed med
icine label was the same as that
in the pen," he said. "The anal
ysis proved that."
Pauline coutinued: "The rest
of the story I forced Florabelle
to admit when I confronted her
with all I knew. Durfee refused
to give her money. They quar
reled. He got into his car and she
shot him. Harry came and the
two of them disposed of the car
and the driver, as you know."
"But Estelle was there, too,"
Lance objected. "Where did she
fit in?"
"While the two of them were
away, disposing of the car, Est
elle came and waited. Florabelle
drove home. Harry went back to
Durfee's to see if every trace
was covered. He found her there.
Then Harry planted the gun and
hid some of the money in the car
trying to through suspicion on
another " ...
"He did," Lance agreed grimly
"That's where I came in."
Then about Estelle's death"
Allen held Pauline to the story,
but we could see she was fast
becoming exhausted. ,

"Only one thing more," Allen
demanded. "You said you were
responsible for Harry and Flora
belle being trapped in the wil
lows. What had you to do with
that?"
The smile on ' Pauline's face
was bitter but triumphant. "Too
