It would be interesting to know whether the Duke of Windsor celebrated his 43rd birdhday in mental victory or mental defeat. Defying Precedent (Cincinnati Enquirer) Judging from experiences of the past, one would think that the planning of a large exposition or world’s | fair would begin with the selection of some funda- mental attraction on the order of a risque dance act. Certainly no one would expect—with an eye to the past—that the planners of a world's fair would decide at the start not to permit any such attraction on the premises. Quite the most memorable feature of the famous Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 was the introduction to the Western World, by the late Little aypt, of the dance that caused John the Baptist to lose his head Many things have been forgotten about that exposition, but not the hootchie-kootchie, When Chicago staged another world's fair several vears ago, the supercharger of success took the form of another young woman who had something new and different to offer in the way of a dance. The glass man and its sky ride may not be remembered three decades hence, but Sally Rand's fan dance is likely to be. Texas has tennial.

In June, 1935, Congr hypnotized by the star- spangled blather of Congressman Blanton, of Texas (may his tribe decrease), passed the so-called “Red Rider” to the District of Columbia appropriation bill. This strange inquisition required that District ot Columbia teachers swear each month on pain of dis- charge that they had not taught Communism in the schools—an economic thumbscrew that resulted in people are inclined to see some-' many teachers remaining wholly silent on the great fact of Soviet Russia. | For two years liberals in and out of Congress fought for the Red Rider's repeal, protesting that such a threat against freedom of teaching in the shadow of the Capitol was a menace to schools all over the country. Now at last Congress has repealed the Blanton rider. All of which is another sign that the United States of America has not lost its sanity or sense of humor. THE REAL TROUBLEMAKERS A great many thing cinister and far-reaching in the general move- ment back of the strike troubles now sweeping the steel industry and some of the repudiation of purposes by foolish tactics revealed from time to time by both main sides often lends considerable support to the thought. But there is reason to believe, as in most strike troubles, that there are in the present differ- ences more than the two general factions—employers and employees; more than the generally accepted con- servative and liberal element. | Conservative Columnist Walter Lippmann, who ever has shied away from too liberal thought, sees' four parties in the struggle and he classified them re- cently as follows: Health Insurance is Not Forgotten (Philadelphia Record) We are glad that a prominent New York doctor has become sensitive to the charge that organized medicine is responsibie for keeping health insurance from the American people. Dr. John A. Kingsbury, associate fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, declares that “one lof the greatest needs of the nation today is a com- | prehensive national-health program.” The opposition of organized medicine to compul- sory-health insurance is “selfis he finds, and he calls for a plan of “protection against wage loss and to make good medical service available to all the | people.” It seems to us that organized medicine can fight compulsory-heasth insurance only by making medi- | cal service available to all the people through a work- able plan of its own. It has not done that, but has |concentrated on killing medical insurance at Wash- !inulonfsr) effectively that this announced aim of the | New Deal is now all but forgotten. s Dr. Kingsbu There are the employers who do not wish to make contracts with organized labor. They are the independent steel companies, As against them there are the employees and minor agitators who do not wish to abide by contracts. These two groups of extremists are the real troublemakers . . . Between them stand the employers who are willing to negotiate contracts and the labor leaders who mean to enforce the contracts they sign. It is to these employers and these labor leaders that we must look for the solu- tion of the problem . . . For this son the pesition taken by the independent steel companies seems to me al- together short-sighted, capable only of em- bittering the industrial conflict and of delaying a constructive solution. The more they treat Mr. Lewis and the C.I.O. leaders as public enemies e more impossible they make for Mr. Lewis to develop discipline and a sense of responsibility in the ranks of his 1g and inexperienced fcllowers here are many who believe that Mr. Lewis a revolutionist and that he has some far- aching and sinister ambition.
