Vinson, its new director, has the job well under way. •He has many friends among both Repub lican and Democratic factions who know him as a congenial political character who studies legislation in which he has an interest with the care of a lawyer and the accuracy of a mathematician. • Vinson was born in 1890 in Louisa, Ky. He demonstrated his scholastic ability by helping to send himself through college by teaching mathematics while he took a law course. Vinson began his political career as city at. torney for his native town. In 1923 he was elected to congress, stayed there until 1928— the year of the Hoover landslide—but came back in the next election and remained there until 1937 when he became associate justice of the United States Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia. •His popularity has not been earned by be ing a “yes” man, for he is known as a fighter. Speaking of Vinson, a senator once said, ad miringly: “He never walks around a fight. He goes right into the middle.” Frederick M.

There are 50 million holders of U. S. war bonds and the number ife increasing rapidly. Fifty mil lion Americans are a lot of Am ericans and only a very tiny percentage of this vast number is composed of “vulgar rich.’’ Not that the “vulgar rich” haven’t done their share—they have, and then some. But there aren’t many rich, vulgar or otherwise. No—99 per cent of this 50 million is made up of laborers, farmers, clerks, soldiers, widows, wives and children. Now when you begin to monkey with someone’s pocket-book you get into trouble. In fact, most of the trouble in this world is caused by pocketbooks—in a broad sense of the term. Wars usually go back to % economic poaching of one sort or another and personal worries and troubles emanate usually from dollar bills or lack of them. When the Revolutionaries over ran France at the end of the 18th century—only a. tiny few French men had any money or property. There were very few pocketbooks affected, and the owners of those had their heads cut off their objections. In Russia, when Lenin and Trotsky took over, the entire to lend money to their govern ment and were then advised by the new outfit in power to pe - per the walls of their homes with cancelled bonds. Messr s. Robespierre, Lenin, Trotsky and Hitler would have remained in their usurped jobs just about lonr; enough for the news to get around. There is a habit of believin'; that a tyrant can kidnap a na tion and hold that nation in sub jection against the will of i s people. This is not the case. An individual or a group can grab control and hold it for a limited period, but they can maintain that control just so long as the great mass of the people is sat isfied—or at least just so long a; they do not become violently oo- posed to the regime. When the French people turned agains. Robespierre, they cut off his- head; and Oliver Cromwell just squeaked through until th^ devil carried him off; after whicn the public dug him up and cut off his head. All of which tran spired a few years after King Charles “got his” from a dissatis- And so it always fied public, goes. No matter what sort of govern- to end ment is in control of this nation in post-war days—its greatest care will be to avoid infuriating half the citzenry by trifling with populace—with an infinitesimally their pocktbooks. The stability of few exceptions—was composed of the government’s debt to half cr poor people.
