On McWilliams' Trail
The trial of the near two-score persons
tharged with sedition came to an abrupt end
with the death of Edward Ekher, the trial
judge. In Washington months ago and has never
been revived. Little has been heard from the
principal defendants since. But it Is not to.be
expected that the big shot pro-nazis would sur
render their ideas even with Hitler's defeat.
Bo it is not -surprising that Joe McWIUiama
who was one of the most offensive of the pre
war agitators for a domestic fascism is caught
working in the same lines as before. How he
was located in Cleveland and .how his goose
there was cooked through the skilled work of
i newspaper reporter Is related in a recent
Wsue of Editor and Publisher. The story is
worth reproducing, and is as follows:

During all thai shaoowing of McWOlkmi. Segal
noticed a little man In a brown autt a Leo on the

Mrs. Mortimer is quite proud. And so far as
we know, the missus well deserves it, and may
all her Christmases be as bright.
But who picked her? The New York Dress
Institute. The institute may be all right,. too,
and all the little instituters. But have they
ever been outside 5th avenue in New York?
How could Mrs. Mortimer, in pure attrac

neat pinafore, saucy hat, well 'fitted if econo

fleck of rain on her pink check and a quick

And the Duchess of Windsor who de-kinged

might be said. She dresses as befits her so

Aimless Weapons
What to do with a storm-bound, disabled or
otherwise unwanted airplane especially if it is
a few thousand feet in the air and travelling
a couple of hundred miles an hour is going
to be an increasingly important problem as
the number of planes increases in civilian life.
The question already has been brought home
to the residents of Chillicothe, Ohio, where a
twin-engined army transport craft crashed after
flying pilotless for 900 miles from the heart of
Nebraska, where its crew bailed out. Fortunate
ly, the crash was in an open" field and no lives
were lost. But such good luck couldn't always
.obtain.' ;
It is difficult to see how there ever could
be a complete overcoming of the hazards from
a stricken plane, but to the limit of a pilot's
ability a plane that has become no more than
an aimless weapon should be headed toward
a quicker and more controllable landing "that
is possible by setting its instruments for a
further sustained flight.

cans, observed

We Can't Blame Them
The expressed sympathy of the general pub
lic with the GI desire to return home apparently
has led to dangerous ground. There certainly
should be no condoning of the march of 4000
men on the 21it replacement depot at Manila.
Not that any blame can be attached to vet
, swans for their longing for the homeland.' They
have served courageously and well, and it is
a proud nation which is welcoming them by the
hundreds of thousands. But there is nothing to
be gained by dumping them on the mainland
so fast that facilities cannot handle them. And
the commanding officer at Manila, while per
haps too blunt, is right In declaring that "you
men forget you're not working for General -Motors.
You are still in the army."
Distasteful as it is, the fact remains that by
the very necessity of discipline and control
an Individual loses a great deal of his indi
vidualism in the military. For at least the
"duration and six.' he is subject to the orders
of the war department which may or may not
feel free to publicly explain actions that, on
the surface, appear out of-line to the best in
terests of the men involved. Mistakes, too.
have been made and will be made. But the
shooting is over: our men are comparatively
safe in all parts of the world. Our own im
patience to have them home should ' not be
such as to inspire still further their own natural
Inclination to rebel against continued absence.
The armed services, if they can't or shouldn't
bring the men home any faster, could render
distinct service by keeping them busy, thus
decreasing the. pressure on the military and
providing some other emotional outlet than
what amounts, more or less, to peaceful revolt
gainst things-as-they-are.
We want our men home, too, but we don't
want an under-mining of the great organiza
tions through which victory was won and must
be maintained. .

TOKYO, Dec. 26.-iirVPremier Kijuro Snide
hara's cabinet clearly is unwanted, but it probably
will remain as an Interim administration until
late winter.
The Shidehara cabinet has taken ' more body
blows than those which toppled its predecessor.
The public has a general lack of confidence in
its ability to solve livelihood problems. It also,
had stood under a series of directives from General
MacArthur, the most important of
which eliminated military pen-1
sions and recently imprisoned
Prince Morimasa Nashimoto'.
It still is too early to say for
certain how long the cabinet will

With the veteran's administration reaching

the lack of medical assistance as may have been
anticipated with the war's ending. It still be
hooves jpecple to keep out of the hands of doc

politicians will retain the groggy
group In office until after the late
January elections. Then. ' the first
party government In nearly 20
years is expected to be inaugu

Last Only a Xfeath
However, any successor govern
ment would have only one month
In office before the election results would force
another change.
Meanwhile, finance minister Viscount Kelso
Shibusawa has the inside track for the presidency
of the dominant progressive party a potential'
springboard into the premiership.
Seven members of the house of representatives
- said the progressive party soon would settle ' an
internal fight for the influential presidency.
Shibusawa, 49-year-old former governor of the
bank of Japan, is the main voice of a strong
group advocating young leadership.
The party once made overtures for the leader
ship to former premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye
who recently committed suicide, and subsequently
considered the retired Gen. Kazushige Ugaki, ?.
Shibusawa supporters-say that Ugaki also is now
out of the picture.
The progressives claim 270 seats in the house
of representatives, a dear majority. Because their
political machine is conaidered too strong for the
opposition particularly among the untutored
electorate the procressives are expected to retain
their leadership.
Normally, the party's president would be named
premier after the general election.
SaMeeseie riaameel
Joji Matsumoto, minister without portfolio and
the cabinet's constitution expert, said that in the
future premiers should be recommended to the
throne by the retiring premier.
Recent elimination of the office of lord keeper
of the privy seal and so-called modern elder states
men former premiers of whom all but two have
been imprisoned necessitates a new technique for
selecting the government.
Matsumoto has said that if a cabinet were
forced to resign because of opposition of the diet.

a good artist. They said she was
"widely known" for her political
position. They did not mention
any work of hers as being su
perior artistically, only that her -canvas
had some distinction in
anti-nazism.
Earlier, I had seen the last
play of one of our leading play
wrights, the one who worked on
Mr. Roosevelt's speeches in cam
paign times and, also on war
propaganda, while continuing
his pi ay writing art on the side.
He always - got his jobs mixed,
but in his last play he finally
demonstrated how silly your own
war propaganda can sound after
the war is over. He wanted to
prove- newspaper editors are
fascists, and he had some racial
issues (fostered by the bitter)
mixed in with the plot, in ac
cordance with political formula
of war days, but not even his
utmost liberals could stand it.
War Ended To Suddenly
The war ended too suddenly
for him and the play he had be
gun to write months back.
No good art is political art. I
venture to say politics corrupts
art. The very nature of a dom
inant propaganda purpose pre
vents political art from being
good art in every canvas, play,
book or sculpture conceived for
political purposes, the political
motif inevitably leads the artist
away from superior craftsman-?
ship and true artistic concep
tions. His message rules his pre
sentation. Books like . "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" may carry excit

propaganda effect, but in this

The trouble is the small portion
of superior art is obscured by
prevailing political judgments in
the great mass of production. In
my home town I have Hopper,
Burchfield, Bohrod, Speicher,
Lucioni, Mattson, Chapin and
James, for whose work I have

Decent Mix With Politics
A few weeks ago, an Ameri

fit only for burlesque in retro
spect Politicians, for their pur
poses, may make books, plays or
paintings temporarily famous by
promotion with the view of in
fluencing political judgment of
the people for their purposes
but art must come from the soul
of man where inspiration is root
ed deeper than the shallow poli
tics of any day, whatever it is.
Judgment Dominated by Politics
This is why the Russians have
produced no great art, in my
opinion. Their judgment in all
lines is dominated by political
considerations. Freedom of ex
pression is impossible to newspa
permen, citizens or artists.
In our own country, the pre
vailing art leaders ; continue to
estimate contemporary, and
past art on its political mess
age. Critics of the great news
papers and magazines have bit
ten more than the average citi
zen on the bitter political roots
of this era, and judge accord
ingly. Sales distributor centers
cater to these political whims,
and thus the whole dominant
group in art has led the people
and the country hi to its own
false values. This is as stupid
a situation as when the Louies
of France and Similar artistic
tyrants denied prominence to
Millet, Renoir and other great
est artists of all time, denying
their works the prestige of the
best salons. The next generation
will denounce our own present
day art faddists as thoroughly as
we denounce past falseness and
corruption.
Three Artists Ranked as Great
There have been at least three
great American artists, and yet
in my time there has never been
a complete show of their works.

In the 1936 election? Yet on
cent -political issues New Eng

' dently supported aid to the

bor. Now its senators like Austin
of Maine, Aiken of Vermont and
Saltonstair of Massachusetts are
staunch , supporters of a world
organization to preserve peace.
The political atmosphere of New
England wOl be cordial .to the
United Nations idea.
Of the climate, however, the
less , said the better, especially
at this season of the year. The
New England winter is still as
rigorous as it looks on a Currier

sweep in from the North At
lantic; and snow " piles deep on
the highways. Winter is no time
for any UNO assembly meeting
' in Boston. Delegates from Saudi
Arabia would have to doff their
flowing robes for red flannels
and : fur coats.- Representatives
from Central America and the
inevitable protesters from India
would wear out their teeth from
chattering. The meetings should
all be summer sessions. The
summer climate of New England
is qujflr agreeable; that section
is in tact the vacation spot for
the people from the sweltering
cities of New York, Philadel
phia and Washington.
When the score is totaled,
Boston (after San Francisco)
should rank very high as a site
: for the new Geneva (and better
: luck to it). The location of the
buildings would need to be out

admitted that the . cause which
was born in Boston and bap
