TRUMAN ON THE CHARTER

PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S emphasis in his address closing the San Francisco conference seemed to us just right. He could have sloshed over. He didn’t. He is not that ‘kind. Also he is aware that earlier plans for perpetual world peace have been over-sold to the public as cure-alls with the inevitable kickback. So the President praised the United Nations charter .as a start, and then stressed the sobering fact that the test is not fair words but faithful action: “The important thing i that all our thinking and all our actions be based on the realization that it is in fact only a first step.” Similarly, he was realistic about the chief danger of this charter—big power domination. He warned: “If we seek to use it selfishly—for the advantage of any one nation or any small group of nations—we shall be_equally guilty of that betrayal . . . out of this conflict have come powerful military nations, now fully trained and equipped for war. But they have no right to dominate the world. It is rather the duty of these powerful nations to assume the responsi-

bility for leadership toward a world of peace.” » = » »

s » THE PRESIDENTS proper joy over the signing of this document did not blind him to the opposite trend recently in parts of Europe. There justice has suffered, and there whole liberated countries have been sealed off from American officials and press observers. Without naming names, he made himself sufficiently clear for the occasion of the San Francisco festivities by this reminder: “By their own example the strong nations of the world should lead the way to international justice. That principle of justice is the foundation stone of this charter. That principle is the guiding spirit by which it must be carried out—not by words alone but by continued concrete acts of good will.” ] ; Today that applies particularly to one of the Big Three. It is for us to make certain that our own great power as a victor nation is not misused tomorrow. Success or failure of the charter will be in almost exact ration to the future unity, wisdom and self-restraint of the big powers controlling the post-war world.

THE NEW POLISH REGIME

THE POLISH problem has long poisoned allied relations. Any mutually acceptable compromise which does not sacrifice Polish freedom will he a boon not only to that unhappy land, therefore, but also to the world. Formation of the new provisional Polish government, announced by Moscow, can be a step in that direction. Whether it is, or not, will depend on the conduct of the new regime and the attitude of the Big Three, especially Russia. Theoretically the still incomplete structure of the new government seems fairly evenly divided between the Com-munist-controlled groups and the democratic parties. Although the London government-in-exile is not represented, its former head, Mikolajcyk, and other kindred leaders from inside and outside the country are included. But the test will be whether members of the government, regardless of past affiliations, have the ability and are allowed to work together for a democratic, independent Poland. This government, it must be understood, is limited both in tenure and authority. Under the Big Three Yalta agreement, it comes into being for the specific purpose of preparing free elections for the choice of its representative successor—and of protecting Polish interests in the interim. Thus it is subject to the Polish people and to the Big Three, who have assumed temporary trusteeship for the people.

The evil of the past five months is that Russia usurped

for herself that joint role of protection to which she had agreed at Yalta. During that period there has been a Russian dictatorship under the Red army and secret police. This evil result cannot be entirely. wiped out by the most perfect provisional government under joint Big Three supervision, but it can be mitigated. . : Unless the terror and political persecution gives way at once to civil liberties, the condition for free elections cannot exist. And unless the Warsaw regime represents Poland instead of Russia on disputed territorial and related issues, it will be a cover-up for betrayal. Basically, however, there is no conflict of interests. In the end only a good neighbor policy will profit either Russia or Poland. No other policy will work. If Russia as the vastly stronger neighbor will remember that in the future there is hope of peace.

Best-Seller * By Harry Hansen * CONSIDER now the best-seller, the book that leads the lists in-sales, and starts a stampede among people who believe that quality exists where the crowd is thickest. “is ; & Best-sellers” are the hopes of authors, the ambi‘tions of publishers, the drawing-cards of booksellers, the despair of lending librarians and the confusion of critics. They represent the luck of authors, the planning of publishers, the selling talent of booksellers, and the erratic taste of the reading public. They are barometers of national feeling, gneasures of the general literacy and influences in shaping a culture. Best-sellers are fiot SYSARYIOUE Wh greatness but with popularity. oy Alice Payne Hackett, an editor of Publishers Weekly, has been checking best-seller lists for a long time, but not as long as she covers in her book, Fifty Years of Best Sellers (Bowker, $3), which is going to be indispensable to editors, librarians and quiz games. On going over lists since Ian Maclaren’s “Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush” was the first and “Trilby” second, to last year, when “Strange Fruit” crowded “The Robe” out of first place, Miss Hackett discovered that Harry Thurston Peck, editor of The Bookman, was the first to use best-seller lists in 1895, and that ne started the “six best sellers” in 1903. Whether he originated the term we don't know. Miss Hackett has listed best-sellers by years and sales, and explained why the Bible, cook books, gomic books, dime novels, dictionaries, juveniles, government publications, textbooks and similar specialties do not count in this book trade barometer. More Bibles are distributed (many free) than any other: book.

What Sold Most Copies?

DO-YOU know who holds the top best-seller record for America? No, not Sinclair Rwis, Pear] Buck or Fannie Hurst. It is a Congregational clergyman named Charles M. Sheldon, who, at 88, "is rounding out a busy, useful life in Topeka, Kas: He wrote “In His Steps” in 1897 and Miss Hackett credits him with sales of over 8,000,000 copies; Edward Weeks, I believe, gives hipi-several million more. Once he edited the Chyfstian Herald in New York. Can you name any one of the .46 other books he wrote or edited? Neither can I. Books with inspirational or religious motives often reach the all-American best-seller list. “Ben Hur” has sold over 2,500,000; “The Robe” over 1,600,000;

“The Rosary,” over 1,099,000; “The Song of Berna=dette” over 1,000,000. Then there were. “Green Light,” “The Keys of the Kingdom,” “The Nazarene,” “The Man Nobody Knows,” etc. Henry van Dyke's “The Blue Flower” had a tremendous vogue; it is supposed to be inspiring, but its sugar content is high.

WORLD AFFAIRS—

By Wm. Philip Simms

here President Truman assisted is, by common consent, the world’s best and perhaps last hope of peace with justice for | at least a century. - Just 26 years ago this week—June 28, 1919—1I witnessed the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and the birth of the old League. It, too, was supposed to | | usher in an era of international fair-dealing and collective’ security. That era jasted .precisely a dozen years—until Japan committed her aggression in Manchuria. From | Versailles until Hitler attacked Poland, was just two | decades, Unless there is a much longer period be- | tween San Francisco and world. war III, diplomats and military experts agree, entire nations will be turned into rubble-heaps as we did Berlin.

Will This League Bring Peace? IN EVERYONE'S mind here today, therefore, is: Will the peace league born at San Francisco do a better job than the peace league born at Versailles? |

they declare, is a better instrument. The more experienced diplomats, however, take a somewhat different view, angle, they observe, the new League is no better than the old. The old League depended on the fidelity of | its members—especially the great powers—to the ideas | set forth in the covenant. So does the new League, Unless Russia, Britain and the United States live up to the San Francisco charter, it will suffer the same fate as the covenant. A major infrigement by any of the Big Three would wreck it. 3 The old League broke down, not because it was bad, in itself. It broke down because its strongest members failed to honor their signatures.

Chief question seems to be whether all that is wanted can be supplied if the war with Japan continued for another year.

found a good excuse in the absence of the United

States. The record, however, shows that the United States collaborated with the old League more effectively than some of its members. In 1921—less than two years from Versailles—when conflict threatened in the Pacific, the United Sates took the initiative and, by a conference at Washington, settled many dangerous problems of that day. In arms limitation, one of the old League's pet projects, we scrapped more warships than all the League members combined. The first major challenge to the old League was Japan's attack on China, in Manchuria. The United States, ratlier than the League, took the initiative in that. Here’ arose another alibi. When Secretary of State Stimson asked for Britain's backing in a move to halt Nippon, Sir John Simon-—then secretary. for foreign affairs fh London—replied by asking if Mr. Stimson could guarantee that the United States would go to war if force became necessary. Mr. Stimson, of course, could give no such “ghiarantee.” That would be up to congress. Nevertheless, two world wars offer 1 | testimony that, in time of crisit, the United States doesn't run: away. - Ain Today some are saying the new League is better than the old because the®United States is in it and because Russia is a member.

POLITICAL SCENE—

By Thomas L. Stokes " WASHINGTON, June 27.—Amernow and should put on long pants

This is in reference to the

shouts of anger that went up from professional labor

leaders, crying out about the new labor relations bill proposed jointly b§ Senators Ball (Minn), Burton (0), Republicans, and Hatch (N. M) Democrat. "Whatever the merits and faults of the bill—and it undoubtedly has both—it i the question of attitude ‘that is raised here and the effect that labor’scarping standoffishness may have, in the long run, on its own best interests, : It is Certainly true—and it is conceded in most quarters—that there are going to be, and should be, some changes in the labor relations machinery of the .government, and perhaps in method -and approach. “ This view expressed by President Roosevelt is also shared by ‘President Truman, and he has'indicated he plans to do something about it through reorganization. That will be a job for the new secretary of labor, Lewis B. Schwellenbach, former senator and federal judge, also a friend of labor. If introduction of the Ball-Burton-Hatch measure did nothing more than hasten that reform, it would serve a useful purpose.

Labor Should Help Write It

IT WOULD seem, therefore, that labor would be wise to show a willingness to come in and co-operate in legislatidn, especially considering .the sincerity of purpose of the three senators who presented the bill after Tong and careful study by an outside, disinterested group. The three senators are estimable and respected gentlemen and legislators, sympathetic to labor and progressive in inclination. They are not burglars or highwaymen, as might have peen thought from the shrieks let out by professional labor leaders. Labor's hyper-suspicious attitude seems unjustified in these cases. Labor, of course, has a right to look any gift horse in the mouth. There are those who would like to exploit the expected confusing post-war era of adjust ment to deprive labor of some of its gains in the last dozen years. Some of these are in congress, as experience has shown. They may be expected to become increasingly active, both in and out of congress.

Big Enough to Defend Own Gains

BUT IT would appear that labor would haye more success in beating off such attacks if it set its own house in order beforehand and agreed to certain modifications that would protect the employer, too, so that groundless attacks could make no headway. Nor, at this late date, does there seem any danger that labor's fundamental right or collective bargaining could be disturbed. It is too well established, not only in the law of the land, but in the minds of the people. Se Now labor has grown up and is able to stand on its own feet. It should not have to depend upon the whims of any political party or group of men in office at any particular time, for political parties and men in office change. It must'depend upon its own power and organization and its sincerity to preserve justice in labor relations.

IN WASHINGTON—

Wagner Bill

By Allan L. Swim

WASHINGTON, June 27.—Under the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill the social security board would assume _ control of the nation’s unemployment compensation systems and its public employment offices. It would standardize jobless pay throughout the country, increase the benefits the states now pay and give servicemen and women “job credits” for the time spent in uniform. Sponsors of the measure, on which hearings are expected to begin this fall, say they expect strong oppositioh to their federalization move, Governors and their state political organizations effectively blocked such federalization moves in the past. They are expected to lead the fight against the employment features of the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill, y Senator Wagner says a national system of employment offices will be necessary to relocate workers after the war ends. There will be a heavy shift in population, and local employment offices would be unable to handle the burden placed on them, he claims.

Says Present Jobless Pay Too Low HE AND his colleagues say present unemployment compensation benefits are too small and that the various state systems are not able to handle the job which reconversion will place on them. The bill would provide unemployment compensation ranging from $5 a week for lowest paid single workers to $30 a week for married workers who have two or more children and earn normally $40 a week or more. ' It would provide jobless benefits for as many as 26 weeks. If funds were available the benefit period cculd be extended to one year. In the latter case, those receiving compensation could be required by the board to take a training course while jobless. Women workers would be eligible to draw maternity benefits for as many as 12 weeks. Those in the armed services would be credited, for social security purposes, with earning $160 monthly during service . periods.

U.S. Bureaus Seek State Funds WORKERS NOT now covered by state unemployment compensation programs——estimated by Senator Wagner at 10,000,000—would be covered by the federal program. This group includes maritime Workers, employees of small firms, domestics, farm workers and self-employed and employees of non-profit institutions. There's a matter of some nine billion dollars that will enter into the argument when states are asked to surrender their unemployment compensation systems. This amount, it is estimated, will be In state unemployment reserves by next Jan, 1, The states will have to turn this money over to the national social insurance trust fund if they want to get any of the grants or payments authorized by the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill,
