SECOND YEAR. of the war. HAPPY NEW YEAR There's something sad and irretrievable about seeing th Old Year out, but there's something so gay and provocativ about seeing a New Year in that normally we celebrate th twin event in mellow mood, with the dew of yesterday and the. . sparkle of tomorrow all mixed together in an emotional cocktail which has intoxicated the human race since the first page was turned on the first calendar. Man was not made to look backward for long, but always forward—to the new horizon. to the goal not yet achieved and to hopes not yet realized. In that, perhaps, lies our greates good fortune, for when a New Year is born—no matter how difficult the year just gone may have been—-we are given a new birth of confidence. new faith. new dreams, new courage ‘ ; * rc no to cope with whatever.the little gods may have in store for us At the start of 1943, even with the din of war drowning out much of the din of the usual New Year’s celebration, we/. have much to be grateful for, much to renew our faith, much to make us happy, despite the tears we may have shed as loved ones went off to induction centers and as our quiet, peace-. ful way of life was rudely changed during the months just. brought forth an abundance of light past. We have this to be thankful for—that America is still . free and will stay free, because we have learned to shoulder! the responsibilities as well as to accept the privileges whicn are part of our democratic heritage. During most of the year, ST ATE GROWING just gone, we tasted bitter defeat—a new experience to our proud America—but having proved that we can take it, we _are now dishing it out to Hitler and Hirohito in such fashion that we can look forward to 1943, confident that if we all do our jobs—and all give the best that is in us—we can win the victory and have peace again in our world. The New Year will be a momentous year, one of the most ’ momentous in global history; that we know. It will bring setbacks and tragedy; that we must expect. But it will also be the year, we are confident in which the tables will be turned against our enemies—not necessarily the year which will end the war (although that we may hope for), but certainly the year which will take us far toward the final victory. For that we can truly say, ‘‘Happy New Year!” f CHILDREN OF DEPRESSION . The depression is over; America is at war; America is at work. But depression’s children are still with us —the ugly ducklings of the dole age, whose parents, encouraged by a paternalistic government, abdicated their family responsibilities and taught their young to look to government instead of their own wits and their own brawn, for sustenance. Just what price we will ultimately pay in youthful degeneracy and dependency for the inexcusable abuses of the handout era we have no way of knowing as yet, but the recent epidemic of terrorism in New York schools—where students have brutally attacked and even slain their teachers in a zoot suit uprising against discipline—is unmistakable evidence that we must pay, and pay dearly, for our mistakes and excesses. “Insubordination began to get bad about ten years ago when relief came in,” a Bronx truant officer told Time Macazine last week. ‘“The parents have come to lean on the Federal Government, on the city, on the schools and social workers —they’'ve lost their feeling of responsibility and think it’s other people's jab to look after them and their kids. But you can only teach respect for authority in the home. More teachers, smaller classes, supervised recreation and all that aren't the real answer.” : . Undoubtedly we will be wrestling with the problems born of our experiment in governmental paternalism for many years to come. There’s nothing we can do about it now, except to try laboriously to give depression’s children the sound sense of values of which we robbed them in their impressionable years. But we can—and we must—guard against a recurrence of the vicious dole era in the post-war period ahead of us. the Axis powers shifts into high gear. Ships, tanks,-armored—ears, planes; guns and all kinds of mechanized . equipment are the backbone of our army’s strikingypower. Farm scrap is 1 Mmaking it possiole for us to supply these weapons to our fighting forces . in adequate quantities. The demand for steel in this war far exceeds that of any previous war. -In World War I; it required 90 pounds of steel for every American soldier. In this war every man in Uncle Sam’s armed forces must be backed by 4,900 pounds of steel. To {equip an army of ten million men, ‘therefore, requires steel in quantities thet are almost too great for the hux man mind to envision. € € nual capacity of our steel industry was approximately 8814 million tons. But by the middle of 1943, the yearly . productive capacity will have been < expanded by another ten million ' tons. This calls for an ever increas. ing supply of scrap, if we are to keep i ‘. the steel mills operating at their . ‘. stepped-up ¢apacity. Steel is normally made up by melting together pig iron and scrap, on approximately a fifty-fifty basis. So steel is practically half scrap, and that explains why so much scrap is needed.

Large . ’ reserves of scrap must be built up and . : stored in accessible places, where we can get our hands on it during the winter and spring months ahead. It would be physically impossible to store . ' all of this scrap at the steel mills, or : in scrap dealefs’ yards,” Mr. Rosen. ‘ wald said, “Instead, it must be stored . ' in many small piles, from which it can flow as needed, in an orderly manner, through the scrap dealers’ yards to the steel mills,” : Another Washington salvage offi-}' cial likened the scrap piles over the Nation to the corn in farmers’ cribs .

By CLEM WHITAKER The economi?, social, industrial jand political welfare of California are one——woven together in a closeknit pattern which may well determine the future of the west and the nation for generations to come! The author of that sweeping statement is George W. (‘‘Molly’’) “Malone, general manager of The Industrial West, Inc., former State Engineer of (Nevada and currently a technical advisor to United States Senator A. B. (‘‘Happy’’) Chandler’s sub-committee of the senate military affairs committee, investigating military establishments. Way hack in pre-war days, in 1937 and ‘38, “Molly” ‘Malone startweek, Malone expressed gratification that his dream has come true, at least during the war period—that California has achieved its destined'position as the.-No. 1 industrial state of the nation and that the west’s vast industrial potentialties are being tapped. When Malone started preaching his doctrine of: industrial expansion, California was only the seventh state in the United States in industry. Today it is first, but he still believes only the surface been scratched. “After the war,’ says Malone “only new work, new resources and new industres can save us from another disastrous depression. The west can provide them; it cannot ohly work out its own salvation: it can provide the industrial stimulus a few of them, at least— have known it for quite awhile; now the men in’ public office, the statesmen and politicians, are beginning to realize it, and the future for California and the ed out to make a searching inquiry into the industrial possibilities of; the eleven western states. A bril-' liant engineer, with a host of friends in key research posts throughout the west, Malone soon confirmed his belief that the western United States had all the raw materials, all the power, the fuel and the transport facilities to make it the hub of a new industrial empire, greater by far than anything the eastern seaboard had ever created. And then he started out to sell the west on its own possibilities. i If you visited the World’s Fair at Treasure Island in either 1939 or 1940, you may have seen the great relief map of the industrial west which Malone created—the first preview of the New West, which came into physical being when Uncle Sam needed war production in a hurry. It was all there, not in reality, but clearly blue-printed, ‘because one man had a great vision and put everything behind it he could person-/ GOOD LUCK, GOVERNOR WARREN ’ In a few days, Governor-elect Earl Warren becomes Governor Warren and takes on the tremendous responsibility of guiding our state through the critical war period—and probably through the equally critical post-war era which will follow. No California governor in our time will have been confronted with as difficult a task; no governor in the United States will have as great an obligation to the nation for California, in addition to being the pivot of the Pacific war, is turning out more of the sinews of war for the whole country than any other state. ; We feel confident Governor Warren will measure up to . gether. ally contribute, plus all he could beg, borrow and scrape together.
