NEW DEAL
EVIDENTLY' this is an open season for the
Shedding of labels and other impediments of the
pre-war hustings. The Russians started it. Gone is
"The Internationale" as the anthem of the Soviet
\Jnion, expunged by decree of Marshal Stalin. It
is safe to say that never again as long as the ukase
remains extant will the revolutionary song be
heard within the Russian territory. President
ftoosevelt has followed the Muscovite example by
contributing to the same ash can the phrase, “New
Deal." He, of course, does not order its expulsion
from the language, even from the stock in trade
of his followers. His is only a hint, handed out
indirectly as the substance of a conversation with
a Cleveland newspaperman, and in our democratic
practice the faithful may abide by it as they chose.
The disowning of the phrase which has been
the stuff of political controversey for a decade
Will be regarded as significant. The Russian pre
cedent. at any rate, was significant. It was held
to be a sign of a new maturity, an avowal that
the need no longer existed to gain strength at home
from troublemaking abroad, the exchange of the
huclear internationalism for a robust nationalism.
Is there anything equally significant about the
Presidential discard? Naturally the Republicans
think so. Still, in behalf of the President it must
be said that the New Deal is completely outmoded.
As the excuse for spending money, the New Deal
must defer to the Second World War. which has
made the New Deal sound penurious. As the toc
sin for social gains, the New Deal is equally lag
gard, for the Second World War has obliterated
the joblessness which not even the most ingenious
ideas of the New Dealers could conquer. The War
by doubling and spreading the income, has left
the New Deal far behind.
It may be, however, that the elimination of
New Deal springs from the converse of the Stalin
thinking. The Russian idea is no longer expprt-^
able, but the New Deal has outgrown its natibftVll '
clothes and has blossomed forth into the Four Free
doms for all mankind. It is the New Deal in. other
words, that has gone international. Perhaps that
is why the President thinks the phrase outmoded.
Be all this as it may, the demise of both phrase and
anthem have this in. common—thdt they-.both give,
way to the common slogan, “Win the war." which
the two leaders insured a{ their meeting in Tef-orati.

'Major General. James A. Doolittle)
WHEN OUR FLYING crews return from their
combat missions. Red Cross doughnuts and coffee
t ■
from the Mobile Canteen are most welcome. Our
boys in the hospital get Red Cross supplies, books,
and entertainment; on leave, our airmen head for
the Red Cross Club for a snack and relaxation.
No one has to sell the Red. Cross to the United *
States Army Air Forces overseas. They know and
appreciate its activity. It is my opinion, and I
am sure the boys in the American Air Force agree
with me. that the Red Cross War Fund deserves
the unqualified support of the entire country.

“THE GREAT ANSWER." by Mar-.
garel Lee Runbeck (Houghton
Mifflin; $2)
God has broken into the *war
headlines, Margaret Lee Runbcek
observes, and because she believes
this is a heartening and useful
circumstance, she nas written a
book called "The Great Answer.”'
Her book is not all the answer,
nor for that matter is God. As the
author of "Our Miss Boo” sees it,
God in Man is an approximation
of the spiritual base for what is
happening. And the most thought- i
provoking thing about it all is the
natural and quite untheatrical way
in which thousands of men and
many women in this unholy .paer-,'
tial mess have resorted to* faith
and prayer. Again and again, she
notes lines like “and then we
prayed” in the stories told b^ sur
vivors of special horrors.
"The Great Answer" is a set of,
war stories told, if God will for- j
give the phrase, from God’s angle.
There is one about an American
woman whose French husband
was in a concentration camp. The
woman quite simply believed that j
God lifted her and her little girl
over the Pyrenees from Lourdes
into Spain: when one of her party
grew faint, they gave him the child
to carry, and the weak man re
gained his strength.
Larry Allen, the Associated
Press correspondent who was
tossed again and again into the
Mediterranean and survived,
though unable to swim, is in the
book, and so is a group of mis
sionaries returning on furlough
from Africa who met a submarine
off Barbados, and lived for near
ly three weeks on the sustenance
wrung from Bible verses one of
the women called up from her
mind.
There are stories from Dunkirk
told by men who believe unshake
ably that God literally shielded
them from German bullets; the
chaplain who underwent hours of
strafing on the sand, who then
rose and found that his shape had
literally been etched into the
beach by the bullets—these and
dozens more. There is even a new
version of the incredible journey
of the yawl Zaida, slightly dif
ferent from the one told a few
weeks ago in “The Navy Hunts
the C.G.R. 3070“ by Lt. Lawrence
Thompson.
