The Germans have suffered defeats on every front. But they still are able to launch severe de- fensive blows. And at the same time they continue to land agents on American soil. In other words, the powers in charge of the German war machine have not begun to give up. A few months ago it was the general impression that the war in Europe might end almost any day. The civilian was not alone blame for this attitude. Various military leaders came out with predictions of a victory in the offing. Our Office of War In- formation predicted the downfall of Germany before, or not long after the end of 1944. to The men at thg front, however, must deal in hard realities. We at home can help them by also dealing in hard realities and not fancy predictions. But what if the war in Europe should come to an end sooner than we expect? We still have a long, long fight ahead of us in the Pacific, one that certainly will not see its end in 1945 or probably not in 1946 either. Why we should be able to afford the luxury better.

It is worth recalling here that the total member- FL and the CIO together, in spite of the policies followed by the Administration in recent years to incerase it, still represents only one-quarter of the total labor force® of the country. But even if this were not so, there would be no more justification | | for choesing as Secretary of Labor whomever the lead- ers of the AFL and the CIO could ag | there would be of choosing as Secretary of Commerce | whomever the leaders of the National Association of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber of Commerce could agree upon It is true that in the recent national election the hospitalities. A happy wedding day,| Republican platform demanded that the Secretary of Labor “should be a representative of labor,” and that Governor Dewey several times in the course of the | campaign repeated this demand. But this merely il- | lustrates how widespread this confusion in political { philosophy has become. It is the function of Gov- |ernment to act as an arbiter and umpire between | conflicting interests. Its decision should be made | primarily in the interests not of any particular par- s of one of ruption are ceives it his duty to represent the inter the parties in a dispute, injustice and dis bound to result. . All this would be clear enough if we were con- sidering merely, say, the function of the courts. impartial or responsible judge thinks of himself as the representative or attorney of one of the par- ticipant has his own attorneys and defenders; sole function of the judge is to decide the dispute on the merits of the case and in the broad interest of justice and the public welfare. | ficials nave different spheres of jurisdiction: labor, | commerce, agriculture, and so on. But this does not {mean that the Secret in charge of that field of | jurisdiction should consider himself a servant of the special int s of union leaders, bankers, business men, or farm organizations. He should promote the interests of these groups only to the extent that they | are consonant with the general interest of the whole country. Any other attitude or philosophy would make our Government officials the mere instruments of conflicting pressure groups. Every Government official ought to consider himself, and ought to be considered by those who appoint him, not the servant of a special group but the servant of the whole people. should be Secretary of Labor. | After the three got back to their hotel, Green and Murray asked it much to! “Why don't one of you take it, | nt.
