The Republicans put on a good, dean show at Chicago and the net result is something new, in political Of course it was, in great measure, a prearranged affair; but even so it set. a good example for the Democrats to follow when they in turn convene in the windy city with their prearranged program. The late convention lacked much of the sound and tury of former like occasions; there was some whoop-la, but not of the utterly unrestrained type and in the main, the proceedings were orderly, serious and uncommonly courteous. We heard many stock phrases; ‘put we shall hear as many. of them trom the Democrats—perhaps a few new ones as well. Humor was conspiculously absent from all deliberations; but there was a rare spirit of good sportsmanship which it is to be hoped may be carried into and through the coming campaign.

By LEONE BAXTER This century’s most dramatic proof j that modern men will risk ‘death rather than exist without a _ free press, is to be seen in a collection of clandestine newspapers produced under perilous; conditions by the French underground and. collected for. study and recording. here by the agents of the U. S. Office of War Information. The French patriots. who wrote; manifolded and distributed the secret publications probably have outlived by now their average _ sixmonths span as underground publishers. They may already have faced Nazi firing squads. But their work goes on.

C., July 3— Three bills to assist mine operators with operating financial’ problems have been introduced by Representative Clair Engle of the second congressional district. One bill provides for-the suspension of enforcement on obligations,
previously incurred by operators, for a period of one year beyond the. termination of the war. The measure will apply to operators who were forced to cease operations because:of war time restrictions. Under the terms of the bill, an operator would be permitted to apply to a court for a suspension of obligations. “As the situation now stands,” Engle said, “if the gold closing order were suddenly ‘repealed :creditors could in effect put an.operator out of ‘business before he had a chance to resume production simply ‘because the operator might not have, sufficient funds to pay his creditors and ‘carry the expense of reopening his mines at the same: time.’ A second measure authorizes the RFC to make loans for the relief of mine operators whose properties, closed by. war time ‘restrictions, are being deteriorated. Applications for loans could be made from the time the bill becomes law until one year after the expiration of the national emergency. & A third bill authorizes the RMAC to to us. 0 ‘ Old Flag} . 4.

Ernest Chapman, all in the U. roic French underground continues to roll out. oe “That. news reads more like Dumas fiction than current affairs, transpiring in this world today. Careful reports are made on the’ sabotage warfare conducted by Frenchmen against the Nazi usurpers with detailed ‘accounting of damage done to industrial ‘plants, trains, bridges, supply. dumps and German garrisons on French -soil. ‘Meticulous instructions in conduct are outlined for the safety or underground members, with warnings to trust nobody without propér introduction or in possession of proper passwords; to be armed always with provable alibis for presence wherever the underground operator needs to be; to carry no lists, make no telewhere except are necessity requires; to change meeting places often, and to act unafraid when questioned, searched or jailed. Similar publications, pocket size for safety, and Produced by . any means at hand—miméograph, press or typewriter—appear regularly in the undergrounds of other occupied conntries. The Norwegian Friheten recently editorialized: . ; “Previously people in this land reacted rather strongly against murder. We remember still how we felt when the first death sentences were made known. Today it is different. Now we receive the death sentences with bitter hatred. They only sharp_]en our will to fight and to win, Our organization is now so. large and strong that we can reach the executioner—and we know how to strike them.” History of an intensely dramatic new order is being written in those . bloodstained little underground sheets that collectively find their way to milloins every week of the war. It is history which must. prove to the world for all time to come that a free press—which men may seem to regard casually enough in rormal times—is in actuality no -casual thing at all, but a matter more important than life itself to men who love freedom and wish beyond all things to maintain it.
