It also seems possible that American sentiment would have been far mo:ie militant by now, if the war had continued. For the sense of outrage of the American people has been immensely greater in the last wek than at any time previous. In part, this swift change of sentiment in Amer- ica may represent cumulative indignation at Hitler's ruthless attacks on neutral states. In part, it may signify that Americans feel more concerned about the fate of Belgium and the Netherlands than other small neutrals. But in the greatest part, the new anger of the American people seems to grow out of the abrupt realization that Nazi Germany may win | the war All through the early months of conflict, Ameri- cans speculated on the outcome, recognizing that it| was not assured. Yet almost without exception they took it for granted the superior resources of the Allies As a result, most of us| never took the pains to think through the matter and comprehend what an outright German victory would mean—for Europe and for ourselves. Now this ugly possibility is vivid. And many Americans are wishing they had supported the un-| spoken but discernible willingness of the Govern- ment to give larger and prompter assistance to the Allies. Now it may be too late. But if the Allies hold on into the summer their chances will improve steadily. And our economic aid will become increas- ingly important, The tide of American opinion in | these critical days insures that such aid will be forthcoming. Too Many Are Too Old (New York Times) President Roosevelt's national defense speech | was not printed in the Italian or German press. If there is any significance in the omission it is not what a similar event would mean in this country or in any free country. What difference does it make in the behavior of totalitarian states whether their people are told things or have things hidden from them? The masses have to go along in any case. They certainly do go along in Italy, where the hate is turned on and turned off like the hot and cold faucets in the bathroom. Those student dem- onstrations in Italy against England, with insults to the English flag and threats against English rep- resentatives, do not necessarily mean that TItaly is on the verge of going to war. Stage management has reached its highest perfection in the Punch- and-Judy manipulation of whole nations.

S. Interstate Commerce Com- mission vs. the American Tyucking Assocaition, Inc., et al upheld the position of the Wage and Héur Di- vision on interstate bus operations and common and contract trucking, said Colonel Philip B. Fleming, Ad- ministrator. The decision written by Justice Stanley Reed means that more than 200,000 employees of bus and truck- ing companies remain under the hours provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act and are tHerefore entitled to at least time and a half their regular rate for overtime. Colonel Fleming pointed out that ‘this is in accordance with Inter- pretative Bulletin No. 9 of the Wage and Hour Division, which was cited by the court. “Such interpretations are entitled to great weight,” the court said. The Wage and Hour Division intervened in the case in support of the position of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
