BLUFFING PERIOD MAY BE PAST
This country signed astreaty with Japan in 1854 that
proclaimed: ‘“There shall be perfect, permanent and universal
peace between the two countries.”
A lot of water has run under the bridge since then. And
a succession of polite insults from the Far East has been turned by a series of bluffs from the Far West. ?
It was no bluff when Japan moved in further on the continent. Nor when the President froze Japanese credits here.
With that.action. Los Angeles prepared to lose her best customer, for Japanese trade is worth approximately 45 million
dollars annually to business firms of the city. San Francisco
squared off to meet the shock of comparable losses. Oil companies, possibly hardet hit, began looking around for possible
customers for their average _two-million-barrels-per-month
shipments to Japan. The largest Japanese colony outside the
Orient waited in shocked silence, in Los Angeles. Many doors
were closed. Shipping companies. banks, importers and exporters faced collapse and ruin. The magnitude of expected
losses was staggering and the tenseness showed in a thousand places. ced
Then from leaders whose observations are worth recording. came two statements that tell their own story and preach
their own sermons. Said Gongoro Nakamura. respected president of the Central Japanese Association of 21 Japanese civic
organizations in Southern California: “We Japanese older
people have faith in America and confidence that it stands for
liberty and justice for all. We are rearing our children to be
pood Americans and we give full support and cooperation to
America at this time.”
Said the head of a big oil concern, speaking as an American businessman: “This means a complete stoppage of a big
percentage of our cash business. We'll just have to back un
our stock and conform After all. America’s’welfare is more
, important than any individual loses, no matter how great.”
Our “‘verfect reace’’ with.Janan may be serously threatened. Our 87-year bluffing period ‘may be past. But the. important thing to know is that whatever comes, there's unity
and help and a willingness to sacrifice where it's needed most
—among the folks here at home.—Contributed.
DON’T SIGN HERE!
As a checkrein in labor excesses which have put emery
dust in the wheels of production and cost California many
millions of dollars in unnecessary and unwarranted . strike
losses, the state legislature, at its recent session, enacted a bill
prohibiting the use of extra-legal secondary boycott during the
period of the national emergency.
“Hot cargo,” or the secondary boycott, it might be mentioned is the scattergun strike weapon which puts the innocent
bystander in the middle in labor disputes—and penalizes the
man who has no dispute with his employers, just to get at the
fellow who has.
*If there was ever any excuse for this type of squeeze
play, certainly there can’t be today when the whole nation,
from the president down to the lowliest taxpayer, is struggling
to build a storm cellar before the tornado of war sweeps
across the seas.
Petitions are now in circulation to prevent the legislature’s anti-“hot cargo’’ enactment from becoming law and to
delay its operation for more than another year. What happens
to American production during that year apparently is of little
consequence to the petition circulators; what happens to America may even be of little consequence to them, just so they
retain their weapons of selfish advantage. But to most of us
America comes first. It must come first. In this instance, read
before you sgin. When the glib solicitor presents his petition,
_ don't sign here!’’ California can’t afford it.—Contributed.
FORGET ABOUT POT OF GOLD
Job shifting is going on at a merry pace in the state and
nation. Employes are quitting positions for others that pay
better wages. But is this the wise course to pursue? Is anything to be gained by giving up a permanent post for a temporary one? What if the war should end suddenly, the defense
emergency come to an abrupt finish? What then would happen to these high salaried defens jobs? The answer is they
would vanish and those holding them. would be scampering
around trying to get their old jobs back.
Young men who are faced with the prospect of being
called into the army are not to be blamed for grabbing the best
job they can.at the best wages while awaiting the call. If they
are fortunate enough to get a toehold in a corporation that is
obligated to take them back into service when their military
period ends, then they are assured of future employment. But
if they hook up with some temporary position that pays well
but affords no future they are setting themselves back.
Most established businesses today see to it that their employes have a chance of advancement if they show proficiency
in their work and desire to get ahead. The going may seem
slow at times and the wages’less attractive than those paid in
the temporary defense jobs, but in the ong haul the regular
jobs are the safer and the more lucrative. Anyone with ability
and the desire to work now has little difficulty in landing a
job. Industry is crying for skilled workmen andis willing to
“great distances just to get their services.

I wonder about senators and secretaries, too,
I wonder at the thoughts they think
And at the deeds they do;
But when the tricks of master minds
Bemuse me past belief,
I find in little foolish things, immeasurable relief.
I wonder how much more time and thought we shall devote to the momentous question, “are we in the war?’’ Now .

the intérnational horizon. How can any American fail to be

all that true Americans hate. Of course we are in the war, be‘ne what we are. there is no alternative save that of appeasement and servile surrender and along that course lies destruc‘ion of liberty and all that our flag and our constitution represATYtS. > :
Still in some minds this debate goes on and while ‘it rages. those of us who have individually settled the question. may
turn for momentary relaxation to those little silly things which
float upon the current of even the darkest streams. Let's smile
at them and by so doing follow the example of our English
cousins. who laugh and joke even while the wrack of the storm
roars above them.
Here are two very inconséqtiential things which afforded me amusement during the past week; perhaps just for a
moment thev may take your mind from the international comnlexities and our own perfectly awful tax bills.
Said the M. C. of a radio quizz program, “‘I will now reneat a line of a familiar poem and you must supply. the line
which follows. Listen closely now. ‘Shoot if you must this old
vreyehead ’.”’
There was a momentary pause and then the deep, confident voice of the quizee responded, “but woodman spare
that three, she said.”’
I listened one day last week to a truly remarkable radio
piano recital. The M. C. gave the young pianist a glowing in‘roduction to the radio audience—and the pianist made good
svrerv boast. He was a Russian who had received his musical
education in Moscow and Leningrad. and as . have already
said the “build up’’ was well deserved. At the close of the
recital and after the usual closing amenities. the M. C. said:
“next week we shall have the privilege of hearing another
Russian pianist—this is the red network of the national broadcasting system.”
Little silly, inconsequential things floating by with the
current of our days. We should be on the alert however,, to
grasp them eagerly and profit by the momentary divorsion
they afford. There are so many thousands in the world today
to whom a ioke, a smile. and lilting laughter are—verboten.
Uncle Silas says: “This Russo-German war seems to be
a game of ring around the rosey. The Germans encircle the
Russians and then the Russians encircle the encircling Germans. But why do we speak of Hitler's head quarters when
they are so safely located in the remote rear? Still, it wouldn't
be dignified to call the great tyrant’s place of concealment, his
hind quarters—now would it.2—A. Merriam Conner.
