▼ President and Mrs Roosevell have
tried lo be nice to 'he American Youth
Congress, with results that seem not alto-
gether happy
A: least, the youths invited to assemble
il Ih White House showed no enthusiasm !or what the President told them
Some oi them even -.vent so far as to hiss
and too parts ol his speech Later, they
cheered loudly as John L Lewis criticized
the President and the speech.
Many people admired Mrs. Roosevelt's
courage, but not her judgment, in Decerning chief sponsor of the Youth Ccn-
y J. E. H. and R. S.
pending student IkhIv election. This vote is
too far in the offing... It is rumored that tl
will be at least three randitlates. two of ll
already having declared their intentions to v
ous parties and gotten their
underway. While a third, and possibly a fourth
candidate, is still more or less on the fence
awaiting further developments. All of these
Ixiys are easy to spot as they are doing everything hut handing out cigars and kissing babies in preparation for the coming battle. . .
It looks, all in all. as if this year's contest for
the engineer's job on the FSC gravy train will
PUZZLED . . . were local wiseacres last week
lo hear the news that the fledgling AKL outfit
had blown wide open. Although permanent action is still forthcoming, it is known that several of the ramrods of the outfit stalked out of
a meeting recently ami are now seen without
their "recognition buttons." They gave as their
reason a disagreement with the Berkeley Chapter. Hardest hit by this move was the local CPA
and AKL alumnus who had engineered the entire deal, putting in endless hours and no little-
actual cash. The walk-out boys are squarely behind the eight-ball, with two fraternities already announcing that they do not plan to rush
any of the insurgents. However, it does not
seem likely to us. that a man such as the local
alumnus', will allow a little thing like this to upset the plans that he has carefully laid over a
period of years. . . so don't count the AKLs off
of the campus yet.
gress' meeting in Washington and the
organization's foremost defender against
charges oi Communis: domination. Possibly her attitude influenced the President
to believe that, as he said, the delegates
really had come out of genuine interest
in "the details and the facts of the functioning of their own government."
Their immediate actual interest, of
course, was in demanding a half-billion-
dollar handout from the government. And
so it was hardly strange that the President's remarks fell flat when he cautioned them against putting faith in a panacea—"some wonderful new law that
will give to everybody who needs it a
handout or a guarantee of permanent,
remunerative occupation of your own
choosing."
Some of the advice Mr. Roosevelt offered them would be good for these
youths, if they would heed it. They ought
lo realize that age, also, has a difficult
problem. They ought to know the facts
before they take decisive stands. They
ought to be concerned for the-financial
stability of the government.
They ought not to follow the Communist party line in adopting resolutions. It
is "unadullertaed twaddle," as Mr. Roosevelt said, for the New York branch of
the Youth Congress to resolve that people who want to help Finland are attempting to "lorce America into an imperialistic war." Finland, from all we can
learn, is what the President described it,
"a brave and admirable democracy,"
and Soviet Russia is a dictatorship "as
absolute as any in the world."
But the Yobth Congress does follow the
party line, not only in its attitude toward
Russia and Finland, but also in its attitude toward domestic issues. Despite
Mrs. Roosevelt's brave defense, despite
their own disclaimers, we are convinced
that the guiding spirits of the Youth Congress listen with more respect to doctrines promulgated in Soviet Russia than
lo the words of the President of the United
We regret that Ihe President wasted a
speech on them.
