ask the veterans to support the |
Administration’s program in their
own interests and the interests of
their families and friends.
The objective of the Truman
Administration as defined by Wa
llace in his article, is to prevent
recurring deoressions by the (full;
Employment Act of 1946 and
other Administration backed mea
sures.
Wallace sees the Employment
Act as a preamble to an economic
charter for the American system
of free enterprize.
In presenting his conception of
the responsibilities of business in
providing full emolo'-ment, Wal
lace writes as follows:
Business must continue to car
ry the main load. . it must provide
most of the jobs and the purchas
ing power. But private business
cannot assume the whole respon
sibility for the national welfare.
No single group can be responsi
ble for the entire nation, because
there are so many forces that lie
outside the control of any one
group. Only the Federal govern
ment can be responsible for pol
icies and actions affecting all the
country. That is what we set it
up for in the first place."
Wallace avoids any comment on
President Truman as a possible
Democratic candidate in 1948. The
Secretary of Commerce, however,
urges the veterans to get active
in politics, and makes the speci
fic recommendation that veterans
should attend party caucuses in
their own precincts and wards to
see to it that good men get party
support before the slates are even
drawm’.

d?. Hi
BABXi
By Edna Mae McIntosh
The statement, “Variety is the
strice of life” unquestionably first
fell from adult lips and in no way
lepresents the sentiment of infants
ir young children. , .
Efficient housewives, recognizing
Ihe important role variety plays in
tustaining interest in food, avoid
nionotony like the plague. What
they don’t recognize is that his love
for something new or different is
the result of a life, rich in varied
experiences and is not an inborn
characteristic.
By nature, babies and small chil
dren are creatures of habit. They
much prefer to have life move on
in the same rut day after day, to
being upset by some strange new
experience. This is the case in their
food habits as well as other pat
terns of living.
Because of this resistance to
change, many mothers are content
to let the child remain in the rut.
They are afraid of risking the up
set that might result from the in
troduction of something new.
Life is unpredictable and it is
the wise mother who accustoms
her child to meeting the unexpect
ed and the new with a spirit of in
terest and adventure. *
Mealtime offers one of the best
opportunities for new experiences
and the earlier they are provided,!
the better. The children who can’t1
remember when different and in
teresting foods were first intro
duced in their diet are the future
gourmets of their generation.

OLIVE TREES, the hard hihtting
up-to-the-minute expose of Franco
Spain which is the July Selection
of the Book Find Club. Leland
Stowe, noted foreign correspond
ent, writes:
“It is the greatest merit of Abe!
Plenn’s book that is Presents the
cold facts of the Franco record
in such detail and abundance
that rhetorical devices are unne
cessary. Mr. Plenn lived and he
worked behind Franco’s iron
curtain, as Chief of Propaganda
Analysis in the US Embassy in
WIND IN THE OLIVE
TREES is his authoritative and
hjoc-iv documented report.
“Plenn talked in Spanish to
all kinds of people. He did not
get his information about Fran
co's Spain chiefly from a Fal
angist funnel, nor from the silver
soup spoons of Spanish dukes.
The trouble was that his reports
were heavily censored by the
“Hayes Team’’ in his own U. S.
Embassy.
“And so was our own Ameri
can-prepared propagandas Even
quotations by Vice-Presidential
candidate Truman, pledging our
forces to prevent the spread of
totalitarianism and dictatorship,
were burned in Madrid before
thev could be distributed, .on or
ders from the American amb
assador. We may leave the ex
ambassador to ive with his o v
record in Madrid, if not with his
own conscience. Nothing that lu
can ever say or wrrite can tar
i nish the honesty and crushing
factual testimony of Abel Plen
n's report on what the Fascist^
bave done and are doing behind
Franco s iron curtain.
“It is true, Mr. Plenn says,
that the civil war in Spain ha
never stopped since 1936; that
the Francoists' hands are red
with the blood of countless exe
cutions which have gone on year
after year, despite the complete
victory gained by Franco and
the Falangists.
“It is vital to know that the
Spanish Republican Underground
continues to exist. . and why it
grows stronger.. and why noth
ing less than democracy in new
Spain will ever be accepted by
her people without the final
assurance of another civil war.
‘If the United Nations Secur
ity Council wants to know what
the Franco regime really is, its
members need nothing more than
read WIND IN THE OLIVE

Plenn’s report is the kind of hi
story which no amount of pro

PAUL ROBESON, CITIZEN
CF THE W ORLD
By Shirley Graham
Great £:->•rer, great actor, great
athlete, and above all, great hum
"o being..Paul Robeson is one
of the best known and most uni
versally admired figures in Amer
ica. In his forward, Carl Van Do
ran says:
‘‘Shirley has somehow known
how to combine in her story the
strong forward march of Paul Ro
beson’s career with a sympathetic
account of his daily difficulties
and uncertainties. . His story is a
;,e o storv because it had to be.
But it is here told with such un
affected realism that no reader
will feel irritated at it, as at so
much romance. This is simple
truth about one of the world’s
heroes.”
Paul Ro'-eson was born in the
town of Princeton, New Jersey,
during the Spanish-American war
His father was a hard working
tough minded preacher who had
been bom a slave. Paul was the
third Negro to ever be admitted
to Rutgers College. When he gra
duated in 1919, he had won hi:
Phi Eeta Kappa Key, had been
chosen end on the All-American
football team, had won hi-; R in
four sport0, delivered the com
mencement oration, and had been
elected to Cap and Skull.. the so
ciety made up of four men fully
representing the ideals of Rutgers
After a disappointing start at
the study of law, he decided, with
the strong urging of his young
e - ie ought to be an actor.
He joined the Provincetown Play
ers, where he worked with Eu
gene O’Neill (in whose Emporer
ones he starred) Robert E.mund
Jones, Edna St. Vincent Millay,
and others destined to become fa
mous.
Robeson s tirst concert was real
ly a sort of lark, an informal ga
thering at which he sang nothing
but Negro Spirituals. But the au
dience refused to go home and got
encore after encore, far into the
morning until listeners and sing
ers were limp with exhaustion and
joy. So he was launched on Ins
two careers and both moved for
ward with increasing success.,
j concert tours in America and Eu
rope, stage plays that brought
acclaim from critics and public
alike, more than a thousand re
! cordings, several motion pictures,
and work on the radio. And all
this time Robeson was curious
about the whole world, about the
j fight of all oppressed people for
, freedom and better lives. He tra
1 veiled in the Soviet Union where
his son also went to school for
some time; he supporter the Span
ish Loyalists in their fight against
1 Fascism; and he has always been
! round in the front of every battle
for a better life for ordinary peo
ple. "Through my singing and act
! ing and speaking’, he says, "I want
to make freedom ring. Maybe I
can touch people's hearts better
than I can their minds.”
