Editor-in-Chief Richard deBrown Business Manager Arthur Hill Editor i a fftj Spta liin y Will it be the Same Old Baloney, Sliced Even Thinner , in 1940 campaigns? Very soon now that American phenomenon, the major political rarty convention, will be upon us, and a very satisfying phenomenon it becomes when one thinks of other world powers where either by law or by custom only one party exists. With the conventions' conclusion, the country will be faced with two major party candidates each seeking voters' approval to become head of the government for the next four or so years. It is then that political campaigns really will begin to glow, and it seems altogether likely that both par ties wilt again assume the old on-bended-knee po sition of 1916 to vie with each other in promising their constituents that they will never stand for anything which would bring the United States closer to involvement in the present European war. Those who can recall the last war remember how republicans and democrats alternated in denouncing each other either for being pro-German or for want ing to get ua into the war on the side of the Allies. According to the report of the Washington corre spondent for a leading national business magazine, we can expect the same old baloney to be served up again thia year sliced even thinner, since most pol iticians on both sides had no idea that this country would get into the last war just five months after election, whereas this year a majority of the mem bers of congress know that Uncle Sam will lend fi nancial aid to the Allies if the war lasts long enough. They know it will happen in spite of any obstacles now presented by the neutrality law and the John eon act which prohibits loans to belligerents. The magazine writer's investigations in the cap ital have convinced him that both laws will be either amended or scrapped to aid the British in cornering supplies in such places as the Balkans and thus weaken the Germans. Nor will this ac tion be held off as a last stand. It will come when It might do the most good for the Allies which looks like about next January when congress con venes after the November election. Meanwhile, of course, it will be kept quiet as likely to upset susceptible voters. Evidence of this sentiment in Washington may be found in the silence of approval with which con gress greeted the administration's recent announce ment that latest type planes could and would be TkwJu (RoundupL By Norbert Mahnken America's most widely advertised social problem, that of the impoverished "okies" is at last to receive some attention from congress, even tho that atten tion may mean nothing more than another investi gating committee. The house of representatives Monday authorized the creation of a five man com mittee to investigate the problem of migratory la bor and suggest possible solutions. The action comes as belated congressional recog nition of a social problem which publicity such as John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" had brought to the attention of almost everyone. Until now little constructive has been done to initiate a co-ordinated program for dealing with migratory labor driven from submarginal lands to places such as California and Florida, there to live in conditions of unbeliev able poverty. The new congressional committee will begin its study Immediately, as soon as the committee is se lected. The purposes of the study have been indi cated by California's Representative Tolan, spon sor of the inquiry. Included .will be a careful analy sis of the currents of migration, methods to cope with seasonal unemployment, and an examination of what specific legislative action is needed to co ordinate relief needs within the Individual states. AT HOME. In Washington the United States Supreme Court upheld labor's right to resort to picketing as a means of publicizing a labor dispute. The decision termed unconstitutional an ordinance passed by Shasta county, California, in 1938 during the period of re action against the labor movement in that state. Justice Murphy, who delivered the decision, as serted that guarantees of freedom of the press and of speech would make illegal any attempt by law or ordinance to abridge those guarantees through restrictions placed on picketing, labor's most strik ing form of publicity. Few persons had believed that the ordinances and laws passed by the various state legislatures within recent years would stand the test of court action. For Nebraskans the decision is of interest since there is now pending before the Supreme Court a case testing the validity of Ne braska's antipicketing law. That the Nebraska law may also be declared unconstitutional is indicated by the similarity of the points of dispute, and by the fact that the decision was practically unani mous, only Justice McReynolds, the oracle of re action, dissenting. shipped to the Allies. A year ago when a test plane crashed in California and injured a French govern ment agent passenger, the reaction in capital legis lative halls was immediate and impressive in its loud denunciation of such dealings with foreign powers. Last fall the issue of repealing the arms embargo brought forth a terrific struggle, but now it is believed that it would be a walk. One factor cited as possibly entering into the change is the German invasion of Scandinavia. There is a heavy Scandinavian vote in several states which were pa cifistic holdouts in 1917, and the Washington repre sentatives of those states are not likely to be held back by any protest from that quarter this time. And so it goes, with nothing much appearing for voters to do at present but to sit back and see how wartime political campaigns, 1940 style, go. Then regardless of who is elected In Novem ber, w shall see what post election legislation smells like in January, 1941. If it smells like war, we can beware provided that our olfactory or gans have not become as Insensitive by that time as Washington's. Business Week, April 20, 140.
