PARADE

Washington, June 12 In
these days, when most people
are fearful of one thing or an
other, the most terrifying single
phenomenon is the general ig
norance of the second world
war's meaning to the United
States. Even among those who
would have their country be
most bold there are few who
foresee the real consequences of
Herman victory, as these con-
Muencei are foreseen by the
riinlomats. the military and nav
al strategists, the economists and
the other men here in Washing
ton who know the pertinent
facts.
If these men are right, the
consequences of German victory
most important to Americana
will be the destruction of the
United States. The end may not
come by invasion. Internal chaos
will be enough. The nation may
survive the chaos as a political
entity. But however it happens,
tha freedoms and decencies the
founders fought for, which the
wisdom of Abraham Lincoln
preserved, and which have es
caped many dangers to this day,
will be swept into the discard
on the high tide of Nazi con
quest.
YOU may ask why the best In
formed men in America Join,
all but unanimously, in so ter
rible a prediction. The answer
ia aimDle. The prediction is
squarely based on the facts of
cast exDerience. and the . facts
of the present situation.
At this moment, Adolf Hitler
is the master of Europe from
the Polish marshes to the Eng
lish channel, and from the North
Cape to the heel of Italy. Only
five European nations, Sweden,
Finland, Portugal and Spain,
and Switzerland, have not made
formal submission to him, and
, unless this country soon accepts
' full fighting partnership with
i Britain, the fate of Rumania or
the fate of France awaits them

SICE GLANCES
TRIBUNE REPORTERS
Washinston. June 12
The senate confirmed today the
nomination of Senator James
Franri Bvrnes (D-SC) to be a
Justice of the supreme court 11
minutes after his appointment
had been sent to the chamber by
President Roosevelt.
The nominations of Stone and
Jnrkunn were referred to the
ludiciarv committee for consid
eration in the usual course ot
procedure.
Althoueh no Immediate an
nouncement was made as to who
would succeed Jaccson as attor
ney general, there have been re
norts that Francis Biddle, so
licitor Eeneral since January
1940. nrobably would be moved
up to the highest Justice depart
ment post.
Washington, June 12 UP)
President Roosevelt today nom-
inated Harlan F. Stone of New
York to succeed Charles Evans
Hughes as chief justice of the
United States.
The place vacated by the ele
vation of Stone will be filled by
Attorney General Robert H.
Jackson. And, to fill the va
cancy created by the retirement
of James Clark McReynolds list
February 1, the chief executive
nominated Senator James Fran-1
els Byrnes, of South Carolina.
Retiring April 1
Chief Justice Hughes submit
ted' to the president ten days
ago a request that he be per
mitted to retire as of next July
1 and Mr. Roosevelt accepted it
with regret.
While there had been reports
that Jackson might become chief
justice, the president chose in
stead to elevate Associate Justice
Stone, a republican, to the high
est Judicial post in the nation.
Stone will be 69 next October.
Jackson is 49 and Byrnes 62.
With confirmation of the nom
inations by the senate, Mr.
Roosevelt will have named sev
en of the nine members of the
supreme court which he once
wanted to increase in size to in
ject new blood.
Both Jackson and Byrnes are
known as strong administration
supporters.
Jackson moved up to be at
torney general after the presi-
dent had named his predecessor,
Frank Murphy, to the suprcvie
court.
Byrnes May Delay
Byrnes has been a presiden
tial confidante and leader of ad
ministration forces in the sen
ate. It was considered likely
that he might not go over to the
court until its fall term, in order
that he might continue to serve
in the senate.
Although a republican, Justice
Stone was one of the leading
supporters on the tribunal of
Roosevelt administration legis
lation. He was appointed to the court
by President Coolidge In 1925
after serving nine months as at
torney general. He and Mr.
Coolidge had been classmates at
Amherst college.
Ex-Columbia Dean
Before entering the cabinet,
the Justice had practiced law at
New York and had been dean
of the Columbia university law
school.
On the court he was outspok
en In his support of social legis
lation. He once described law
as "a human institution for hu
man needs." He regarded it as
anything but static.
