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.

guns and all kinds of mechanized

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

‘therefore, requires steel in quantities

€
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.
Recent scrap drives, it is said, have

IN INDUSTRIAL
VIGOR AND SIZE.
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

Visiting in San Francisco, this
the job. His first appointments to key posts in the state government have evidenced that he is determined to put politics
aside for the duration and to bring into the public service the
_ ablest men available. Undoubtedly he will make mistakes, for
he is human, with the human capacity for error, but they will
be honest mistakes; of that we are assured. And on the whole
we believe he will .make a splendid record; he has the capacity
for it; he has the sincerity and earnestness and the driving
power which we want in a war-time governor.
