The shortsighted, France in the 1 learned nothing from The nature of the peace made m‘ bitter policy of 920’s affirms it. The warmongering of | the German and Italian Governments in recent years further emphasizes it. Yet some smaller lessons have been learnea, at least with respect to the waging of war. One of the greatest blunders of the war was the policy of attack pursued relentlessly by the French| General Staff. In 1914 and 1915 the French high com- mand knew only-one formula for waging war—to!| attack, attack, and attack again. Blind to the mean- ing of trench warfare and to the evil genius of the machine gum, the Generals sacrificed thousands upon thousands of young men in offensive operations that gained nothing That will not happen again. Thousands, hun- dreds of thousands, may indeed be sacrificed. But it will be through some new error of judgment, not the old one The British made a somewhat different blunder, | equally tragic.

Just think, cop is king. in our democracy—why, every traffic Mistake nf the ’\lonlh ‘Y‘I\I]:I(]l‘ljillhl Record) John L. Lewis’ attack upon Vice President Garner ounded exactly like a run-of-the-mine Tory attack on President Roosevelt We thought Lewis was smarter. Garner's best friend couldn’t have done him any greater political service than Lewis did by denouncing, not Garner’s political method, but his personal habits. { Maybe it was the proximity of M as some have | suggested, or the heat, as others charitably explain; | but our own hunch is that Lewis became intoxicated | by the sound of his own phrases. It happens that they | are just about as rhythmic as they are inept: | a labor-baiting, poker-playing, whisky-drink- | evil old man!” And one of the most bitter hymns of hate ever sung from a Congressional rostrum: “I am against him individually, personally, con- | cretely and in the abstract. I am against him in 1939 | and will be against him in 1940. No wonder Garner chuckled. It was the biggest boost that reactionary leader has had since friends launched his hitherto feeble ing The office of the Vice Presidency calls for a certain respect. That does not in the slightest bar criticism (any more than of the Pre dent), but it does dictate that men phrase their criti- cism decently and keep it in fair territory. It was below the belt to cr -drinking.” It was below the belt to cry “poker-playing.” That's why there is such a terrific reaction. John Lewis is one of America’'s greatest labor leaders. He has won his many successes by conduct- \hL his man-to-man relations in a decent, kindly way. B\ll Thursday he went completely “out of character. The ranks of the CIO or the American Bankers’ Association would be thin indeed if they were purged of every man who (nk a highball or who liked to sit in on a round of “draw” oor “stud.” Garner’s personal habits are not an issue. Garner’s acts in public life are an issue. And it Lewis had remained on that fair ground he could have scored a telling point against a conservative in New Deal clothing 5 Strange, how men, even experienced leaders, forget both the power of words and the force of silence. The record of Vice President Garner, particularly, hows that the less he has said the better off he has found himself. One of the secrets of his success in knifing the New Deal has been in doing much—and saying little Yet there was one occasion when Garner spoke— shall we say overmuch? No doubt he regrets those words today. We refer, of course, to his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in 1936. Here is what Garne d then: “T am a soldier and my duty is to follow where the | commander leads. I shall stand with him (Roose- velt) in the months ahead . Franklin Delano Roo- sevelt is my leader, my commander-in-chief. In this presence, before this multitude and with the stars of I ven, to bear witness to my covenant, I renew the | ‘plmgp of fealty I gave four years ago.” | Perhaps if “Cactus Jack” had not made quite (“,I bombastic a pledge of loyalty to the President—his knifing of the President and his program these past three years would not have been quite as offensive and conspicuous Was Garner then, like Lewis now, his own words? intoxicated with | does; but the | | y ably for service that will best utilize their talents. | The most difficult task those €ight men planning A less obvious but still costly blunder was the fail-| to climb Mount Kinchinjunga, New Zealand, will have | in preparing for the attempt will be to learn to pro- ure of the French and British to establish a joint com- nounce the name of the peak. mand.
