FINDING RAILROAD FACTS ; QOMETIME within the next six days the, Presidents: three fact-finders will announce the terms upon which the railroads and their employees must settle their wage -dispute without a st¥ike.s ~ : : Technically, “must” is too strong a word. The factfinding board éan’t tompel peace. But we believe public opinion can and will insist that both sides accept the terms the Board will recommend. Obviously, the country can’t afford to suffer the shock of a nation-wide railroad strike. And, obviously, a strike would make the railroad problem, of which the wage question is only one phase, worse than ever. : The Board’s job has been made difficult because the hearings brought out so-many opinions that didn’t jibe. From the same Government statistics the roads and the unions produced widely different figures as representing the present average annnial wage. The roads contended that nothing but &,15 per cent wage cut could make it possible for them: to ‘meet expenses. The workers retorted that no cut is. necessary, . . : Co The roads bfeught experts to testify that a wage cut would encourage: national ‘business recovery. Experts for the union testified that it would stop recovery dead. Senator Wheeler, the leading railroad authority in Congress, | charged that the roads are wasting more money than they could save by cutting wages. J. J. Pelley, the railroad spokesman, ¥eplied that Senator Wheeler was: talking through his hat...And soon and on. ~~ : ‘But we think' that the President’s fact-finders—Judge Stacy, Dean Landis and: Professor Millis—will be able to go behind all the confli sting opinions and discover a foundation of.truth upon which public opinion can stand to demand. continued labor-employer peace on the railroads. And the work done by these three men, it seems to us, may offer Hope'for a solpition of the whole railroad problem. The problem is obscured by more différeing opinions than were brought out in the Yecent wage hearings. . The truth about it willbe even harder to discover. But if the factfinding method can enable-public opinion: to make itself effective in ending the wage dispute, we believe the same method might arm public opinion to demand the right answer for the whole railroad riddle. »

THE ONLY EA RTH WE HAVE or SPEAKING before Britain's Navy League at its Trafalgar — Day dinner, the first American envoy ever todo so, Ambassador Joseph’F. Kennedy took occasion: to make some particularly—and,’ “under the circumstances—unusually

pertinent remarks. on the state of the world. - : “There is simply no sense, common or otherwise,” he gaid, in the growing habit of nations to snarl at each other all the time. Unless they can break themselves of it and proceed to arms limifation, they are all leaded- straight towards “a major disaster? Sf a

No truer words weré ever spoken. It is all perfectly natural, as Mr. Kennedy pointed out, that recent events should “stimulate the already frenzied race for arms. . .. Considering what we haye just been through, it is hard to quarrel with the detision of “4hy hation to build up its military forces. In fact, we can only commend such action on the part of those sincerely committed to a policy of peace.” ; Unfortunately, “those sincerely committed to a policy of peace” are not the only nations whose armament efforts will be stimulated. For while some of the nations, like the United States, Great Britain and France, are presumably better able to finance an armaments race, others, not so well fixed—like Germany, Italy and Japan—will likewise “speed ahead as fast as-they.can. Co pl . Which, unless afppped, will lead to war as certainly as night follows: day. . The logic of it is elementary. At present, for example, Germany and Italy are credited with having an advantage in armaments over Britain and France. Let us assume that they have, and that Britain and France, badly frightened over: their recent narrow escape, will strain themselves to cath up with and outdistance their dangerously ‘overarmed ngighbors. Will itler sit twiddling his thumbs on his Bavarian mountain while German arms are put, once again, in a state of‘infetiority? He will not. Before he lets that happen, he will start the longdreaded war. He will. have it out with Britain and France while he still thinks; the advantage is on his side. It is just as obvious that to avoid war the major powers must soon find a way to compose their differences and agree on a method. of arms limitation. : It simply isnt getting us anywhere at all, said Ambassador Kennedy: “for the democratic and dictator countries to widen the division now existing between them by emphasizing their differences which are self-apparent. . . . Instead of hammering away at what are regarded as irreconcilables, they could at tageously bend their energies toward solving their comimon problems by ar attempt to re-establish good relations on a world basis.” For, he concluded, “after all, we have fo live together in the same world, whether we dike: not.” : * That is another of ‘those self-evident truths which we the peoples of thik tiny planet too often forget. - 3 ¢ If ever world gtatesmanship was on trial, now is the time. For. thus. plainly iS:marked out the road to peace.

HOW ABOUT ‘MADAM’ FOR ALL WOMEN? By Feminist Slowly but surely more and more women are gaining prominence in public life, and the ability of women in public service in general is being As time goes on women in public service will be:about equally divided. and it will then no longer be a novelty— resented by some and applauded. by others. It will be taken for granted: The matter of title to give a woman in public life is a little confusing right now. If she'is married, she is a Mrs.; and if not, she is Miss, no hatter what her age, experience,

maturity or wisdom. She cannot,
