There are the best reasons in the world for be- lieving that our national security is imperiled fully as much as it was when we entered the World War | in 1817, but, because many have persuaded them- selves that we must stay out of this war at all cost, all in nickels. This, one believes, will not happen. The nickel is our most democratic coin, for it travels with pennies in the poor man’s jeans and with wads of bills in the pants pockets of the affluent. For cer- tain purposes, such as using the telephone at a pay station, or getting into the subway in a hurry, it can do what untold wealth cannot do.

In a sense the nickel is a fraud, for it is three- fourths copper. It is related to that dreadful thing, “fiat money.” But this is only to say that the countless transactions in which it figures every hour of every day are all acts of faith.

UNDER THE DOME The attitude of the U.S.A. toward| Germany, as summed up by Con- gressman Bob Doughton of North Carolina, is this: “Germany hasn't done enough against us to make the American people ‘want to go to war against her, and England hasn't done enough for‘us” . . .

Wednesday's ballot is confined fo the Washington branch of the Guild and is on a referendum to quit the Washington Industrial Un- ion Council and to elect anti-lett- ist delegates to the Detroit con- vention. Mrs. Roosevelt, who trans-; ferred several months ago from the New York to the Washington Guild, is a behind-the-scenes supporter of both plans to get away from left- wing. influence. In fact, she was one of the prin- cipal leaders of the move to with- draw from the Industrial Union Council. The IUC is the local central CIO organization, It is controlled by the United Federal Workers, which has line” control of the IUC. If they don't purge or outlaw it, they will tacitly admit that they are play- ing ball with the left-wingers. (Copyright, 1941, by United Fea- ture :yndlc:te, Inc.)
