Henry, in spite of the sensational success he has made, and
the millions he has accumulated, took sharp issue with the
younger man. The world to him is "lousy and cock-eyed", and
the future so dark he sees nothing ahead but disaster and
destruction.
Very interesting and understandable.
PANK sees the world through the eyes of youth, and inex-
perience, with a glorious record of athletic achievement,
and collegiate fame behind him; and as is true of most football
stars at New Haven, social prestige and a good paying job

and security, confronted with so much evidence, that a new
social and economic order is in
iyf OREOVER the two men are temperamentally as far apart
as the poles. Luce was never a famous athlete in college,
he didn't even play games. Even as a young man he was essen
tially a thinker, and a thinker he remains. As a result he is
more highly developed mentally, than he is physically, a certain
lack of balance being inevitable.
Frank, it is fair to assume, was never the thinking type
He was and is no doubt a normal, healthy animal, always look
ing outward and forward, never backward or within, what, is
known as the extrovert in contrast with the introvert, type,
and to such the world is always

FEEL.
PINALLY, it is also fair to assume, our Ail-American hulf-
back, possesses the gastric juices of a billy goat, young
men of his exuberant health, vitality and perfect physical co
ordination, usually do. And it is equally likely, Editor Luce
not similnrly favored, has had after a hard night, serious diffi
culties with his processes of assimilation.
Well that simple fact makes all the difference in the world
with one-'s philosophy.' What the world is or what it appears
to be at any given time, depends very largely (perhaps
entirely) upon the digestion.
So the opposing viewpoints of these two fammis graduates
of the same educational institution, are entirely natural nntl
easy to understand their opinions, aa is true of all of us, arc
oolored by their experiences, their temperaments, end their
purely physical compositions.
TI7IIICII is right, which wrong!
IT
As is usual in such extremes, neither.
always lies somewhere in between.
The situation is certainly not as hopeless as Editor Luce
pictures it. There is going to be a profound change, no doubt,
but as fur as this country is concerned it is almost certain to
be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, And even if the
worst, as Mr. Luce sees it, happens, and the form of this
government suffers a revolutionary change, it will not mean
"disaster and destruction."" This country .is too rich, loo
strong, and essentially too sane, ever to be thrown, as Luce
predicts "on the junk heap." The new order may be very
different from tho old, and involve the destruction of many
things that seem to most of us. important anil worth while, hut
human hrogross is the law of nature, and the people of this
country, wo are confident regardless of political changes will
muddle through successfully and eventually go on to better
and finer things.
ON' the other hand the situation is not as rosy, as it appears
to our exuberant hero of the gridiron. We would do
nothing to chill his delightful self confidence and enthusiasm,
regardless of what the future holds, such an attitude of mind
will help greatly but he will find soon enough, the real world
is very different from the cloistered and artificial one he has
been in for four short years. Ho will learn that in its present
state "good" is scarcely the proper adjective, for it, and that
unless ho is lucky enough to be a rare exception, he won't be
disposed to cry so jubilantly when he is as old as Mrother Luce
that, life is "such a lot of fun I"
No, as the poetic philosopher observed, "life is real, life is
earnest" and few indeed are those who reach maturity, and
don't find their smiles pretty frequently clouded in a mist ot
tears. Moreover there is no point in kidding ourselves that
while tho future is not as dark as'Olooiny Hank" feels it to
be, there is an uncertainty and an unrest on this ball of dirt,
which can't be deuicd, and consequent problems, which will
lake the best intelligence, ami skill, the human race can muster,
if they are to be successfully solved.

Some babies cause considerable
Irritation of tho skin by rubbing

Comment
on the
Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
eTHIS writer spent two day this
A week In Portland, on business
Involving contaota with a rather
w'o variety of people ranging from
j business leadera and managers to
average, everyday people with Jobs
Among all these people, uneasiness
la plainly evident.
Portland Isn't normal thla fall. It
la In tho grip of labor troubles
not tho simple, old-faahloned, quite
' reasonable labor "troubles" In which
I the employees wont to the boss and
hit him up for u raise but a new
and strange kind of Industrial war
fare In whioh rival unlona are fight
ing each other for POWER.
Tho struggle (for tho present, at
least) Isn't between employers and
employees at al. It la between rival
laoor leaders (ArL on one hand
and CIO on the other) who seek to
control those who work.
THE fight has ' prostrated Port
land'a lumber Industry, and has
Interfered seriously with various
other lines of manufacturing. Ship
ping la hard hit. Stoppage or re
duction of payrolls is affecting re
tail business. Fear and uncertainty
havo stopped all expansion and are
causing those who still have Jobs
to apend with extreme caution.
Portland distinctly Isn't Ite nor
malfcself. 1
fHE trouble Isn't confined to
A
Portland. Astoria has had Its
shore. Marshfleld was prostrated for
weeks. There have been difficulties
at various places In the Willamette
valT,y, But ,or the prMent Portland
Is bearing the brunt of It. And It
Is hurting. '
WHAT is the cause?
Well, at the root of the trouble
lies the Wagner act, which practi
cally deprives employers of all rights
in labor negotiations and puts vast
powers in the hands of ths unions.
Rival leaders re struggling for mon
opoly of these powers.
That Is the plain, although not
palatable, truth.
WHAT can be done about It?
NOTHING, at present. The Wag
ner act Is the law of the land., It
has been enacted by congress, signed
by the president and approved by
the supreme court. Presumably it ex
presses tha wishes of the people of
the United States, or st least an over
whelming majority of them.
Until It is amended, we must live
under It. And it will not be amended
until the demand for amendment
comes front the people themselves,
through defeat of members of con
gress who stand for the act as la
and election in their place of con
gressmen and senators who are
pledged to amendment.
That will take time.

Just what to do next.
You can hardly blame Portland
people for being worried. Their basic

New Jersey Labor Party
Eyed as National Factor
WASHINGTON, Doc. . (API
Eatabllshment of a New Jersey labor
party and steps towsrd a similar
organization In Michigan occasioned
new speculation today on the pos
sibility of a national labor ticket In
the 1940 presidential election.
Representatives of both CIO and
American Federation of labor took
part In tho founding of the Ameri
can Labor Party of New Jersey yes
terday at Newark. Tho dolegatea to
the founding convention declared
they represented 150,000 organlied
workers.
No action was taken on the ques
tion whether the new party should
back Ita own candidates In elections
or endorse those of other parties.

Follettes as the aort of men who
would lead the liberals, and he said,
"Make no mistake, I'll be on their
side."
There are several straws in the
wind indicating vaguely how the
mayor hopes to manage the delicate
business of choosing sides. For ex
ample, a La Follette-La Guard. a- con
ference Is to be looked for fn the
near future. Also significant was
the mayor's recent registration aa a
voter In the' American labor party.
Take these in conjunction with his
roughness with the Republicans and
his treatment of the president, and
ll .seems likely that he doesn't plan
to be captured by either of the old
political organizations.

La Guardla during the campaign.
Its second was the mnvm-'s Mrn(
denunciation of Federal Housing Ad
ministrator Nathan Straus as a "star
gazer," which had Its distant origin
In a row over the housing adminis
tration itself. Mr. Ickes Is the
greediest bureaucrat In the whole
New Deal. After a titanic atnifftrie ho
succeeded last spring in getting the
new nousing administration put mto
uiv inwnor aepartment. Then, altho
he pulled some very odd strings.
Ickes was beaten hv
officials and Senator Robert F. Wag
ner of New York In his effort to get
his own man out in fcn r,, it
Straus was the opposition candidate.
Tho mayor had never been very
fond of Straus, although ho did not
oppose his appointment to the hous
ing post,. At tne mayor's confcrence
In Washington on November 15. he
ran Into Straus, had an argument
with him. and lost his temper. On
November 16. he luncheri mitv, .
Ickes at Harvey's restaurant.
Mr. Ickes was carrying on an tifl
forgiving warfare against the un
wanted Straus, who Is actually a very
ueeiui otticial. Mr. Ickes probably
broached the subject of Straus to
tho mayor at their lunch. At any
rate, on November IB. Straus received
tho mayor's demand that he "stop
star-gazing." which was elmultsne
ously given to the public. And a
little later the mayor forbade Lang
don w. Post, chslrman of the New
York housing authority and a lead
ing Straus friend and Ickea enemy,
to attend a housing conference called
by Straus. The story has now ended
it, the resignation of Mr. Post.
But such Incidents show the mayor
In the least favorable light. Actually,
he la about the most successful
public servant, and one of the most
significant public flgurea in America
iraay. However volatile he may oe.
the side with which he allies hlmwlf
will be fortunate.

retains control of tho party In 1040.
there la little likelihood of a labor
party candidate for president, with
this opinion they couple tho view
