OUR GROWING A. E. F.
World War . is dwarfed by World War II in almost every
comparison. During the first twelve months after_Pearl Harbor, according to the Army Transportation Corps, 891,827
American fighting men were moved overseas, as compared to
366,603 men sent to France during the first year of the last
war. In this war, we are shipping 82 pounds of equipment and
supplies per day for. every member of our rapidly expanding
overseas force; in the last war, comparable shipments to the
first A. E. F. averaged 43 pounds per man.
The staggering tasks of total war are further illustrated
by the War Department announcement that during last year
11,641,838 Army troops were moved on railroads in the United States, as against 2,734.527. men transported on our railways during a like period in World War . . The announcement
also told of shipments overseas in the first year of this war of
freight totaling 10,474,923 tons, compared with 1, 737,000
tons moved overseas in the first year of the last war.
—j
striking power which we are bringing to the aid of our allies,
they also serve to high light the almost unbelievable demands
made on our production and transportation facilities here at
home to maintain our supply lines. In the light of such demands for transportation, it is more understandable why the
railroads are making such an insistent fight at Sacramento to
suspend the Full Crew Law for the duration, so that trains
may not be needlessly delayed by featherbed regulations. The
railroads, under private maaagement, are doing both a bigger
and a better job in this war than they did in World War . under government management. But they need to be free from
make-work restrictions if they are to handle the vastly bigger
job ahead of them as shipments of both troops and materials
are stepped up to clinch a decisive and early victory. '
We are making deadly war on the submarine packs which
menace our ocean shipments. We have need to fight just as
vigorously and effectively to eliminate every menace to efficient transportation here at home. Our AEF is growing and our
job is growing with it. ‘ :

THE ROAD TO BERLIN
Berlin is digging in its ruins again, trying to untangle the
wreckage caused by British block-busters. . England's coastline, spring-board for the impending invasion of the continent.
has been declared a restricted military area, as American and
British troops rush their preparations.
The Mareth Line, outflanked and overwhelmed, has fallen—and the Desert Fox, out-foxed and out-fought, apparently is on the verge of complete disaster, with the Allied Armies
fighting desperately to clean Tunisia of the last remnants of
the Afrika Korps. And day after day, night after night, Amrican and British planes pound factories, troop concentrations and railways in Germany and the occupied countries in
a fierce, never ending, softening up attack to pave the way for
the day of invasion.
The sign-posts on the road to Berlin are gradually becoming clearer as the allied offensive gathers increasing power—and as gloomy Axis leaders warn their people that they must
not break in the face of disaster. It is a hard road, this road to
Berlin, and we must be prepared for heart-rending casualty
lists and shattering setbacks before it is taken. But unless all
signs ar untrustworthy, we can now begin to see not just the
end of the beginning, as Churchill called it months ago, but the
beginning of the end. We hope it will not. be too long delayed,
nor too costly.

CALIFORNIA FARM DECLINEINGAS

emergency agricultural problem.
C. C. Teague, president of the agrieultural Council of California and
one of the state’s ablest farm leaders,
who was sent to Washington by Govin dealing with the critical
shortage here, told newsmen in the
national capital that not less than
50,000 Mexican farm workers will he}
needed in California this season.
Mr. Teague’s statement was based
on sound knowledge of conditions in,
California—and it is to be hoped that.
Washington will recognize, in time,
that half way measures will not do,
if this state’s vast agricultural plant
is to make its full contribution ‘to
the food for victory program.
California’s -farm manpower problem is much more acute than that in.
most other states—and this is not
said with any thought of minimizing
the seriousness of the problems nationally. A major factor in aggravaiing the problem here was the fact
that thousands of Japenese agricultural workers were removed from the
state at the outbreak of war. As most
of the Japenese farm workers were
concentrated in this state, that created a drain of agricultural manpower
in California in addition to all the
other conditions which were draining
‘away farm labor in the country as a
whole.
Again, California agriculture was
harder hit by loss of its workers to
defense industries than any other
section of the country, due to. this
state’s leadership in war poduction.
In no other state was there the whole
sale exodus of farm workers to the
cities which occurred here, although
the farming industry generally lost
many of its workers to war plants.
Tre deferment of farm workers,
‘of course, will be of aid to California, as to all gther agricultural states
but unhappily this is largely a case
of locking the barn door after the
horse has been stolen. Many of the
experienced farmers and skilled farm
hands are already gone and all that
jan be done now by deferment of
farm workers is to avoid making a
bad situation worse.
The furloughing of soldiers and
sailors to assist in farm harvests, as
suggested by the president, may or
may not be of material aid in meeting the crisis, dependent on how it is
handled. If farm boys are returned
to the farm, under conditions which
will permit them to stay until crops
are harvested, they can be of real assistance, But if city born and city
reared troops are sent into the harvest fields, while they can be used
for picking fruit and other comparativey unskilled: work they, will not
fill the need for trained farm hands.
The same handicap exists in using
school children to supplement the
farm labor supply although a volunteer school army, properly supervised, can certainly help, and should be
encouraged.
California’s prdQblem, however, is
both too big and. oo immediate “for
part-way measures. The need here is
for experienced’ farm. workers in
great number. If our state department in Washington moves with determination and dispatch an army of
50,000 Mexican farm workers. undoubtedly can be organized in cooperation with the Mexican government and brought to California in
time to meet the crisis this season.
And if that is done, it will be a major
factom in relieving the food crisis
both» for our own country and for
our allies, as this state has greater
productive capacity than any other
state in the union—if it has the men
‘to work the fields.
Employment Office
Jurisdiction Enlarged _
‘Fred W. Mulloy, manager of the
Grass Valley office of the ‘United
Staltes Employment Service, states
that his office now has jurisdiction
over Placer County as well as of NeCounty.
The establishment of a subordinate office at Newcastle, in Placer
County, is being considered in order
to provide help expeditiously for the
fruit growers in that area.

;construction of old ones has been

lof the war, the report gave emphasis
'to the question of highway mainten. ance.
“Tt is estimated that the decline in
gasoline tax and registration fee receipts will reach about 28 per cent,”
ed, “But normal maintenance costs
'represent only an average of 13 per
cent of state highway dibursements.
As for equipment, it is believed thare
will be no actual shortage . for at
least two years.
“Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that the primary immediate
problems regarding maintenance are
material and labor.’’
