“War Is Fun’ .
‘War is a fine sport!"” announces Vittorio Mussolini, son
of Italy's chieftian, in the recently published account of his adventures flying over the Ethiopian mountains in a bombing
plane.
“War,” says young Mussolipi, “‘is a sport that is most
beautiful. Everything is fun.”
However, there were other participants in the Ethiopian
war besides the dictator’s yodthful son. There were the Ethiopion cavalry units, some of whom may have escaped the
loads of explosive bombs dropped upon them from the skies
by fun-loving Vittorio. One of them could doubtless file an .
effective brief setting forth the case for the negative.
Nor could war be considered fun for the thousands of
Bilbao’s homeless children, nor for the thousands of horrorstricken Chinese refugeees seeking to escape the pleasures of
war a few weeks ago by stampeding, like mad beasts, to reach
the safety of the International Settlement. ~ .
And though the small, powerful military clique now
holding Japan in a vise-like grip may also argue that war is
wholesome sport for all worthy descendants of the samurai,
they speak for only a small part of the nation. In thousands of
Japanese homes where Field Marshal Death has struck, no
sorrowing Japanese mother can be found who will agree “War
is fine sport!”
We have. no doubt that blunt-speaking Second Lt. Mussolini thought war was fun. We have no doubt, either, but thet:
most Americans will feel the joke—and not a very funny one

“CIO control of the P. G. & E.

which could paralyze the entire P;

“That such strikes have already
been discussed was. admitted by the
CIO’s district organizer, R. L. Shippey, when he was testifying under
oath at the NURB hearings in San}

Mending Market Baskets : , .
Remedy number five—a housing boom—added to the
~ special session’s legislative program last week, may yet prove
to be one of the best remedies thus far taken out of the government medicine cabinet.
If, as it has been reliably estimated,-a full revival of residential. construction would directly. boost the country’s busi-'
ness by $2,500,000,000 annually, then Remedy number five
might indeed help.to make short shift of that groggy feeling
in the knees which has smitten business.
But lack of a housing boom hasn’t been the only obstacle
to recovery. Another vital factor, described by Hale Holden,
Southern Pacific's chairman, is the railroad’s critical condition. In this statement, made before the I. C. C. he has’ the
support of many economists. They strongly urge that a full
revival of railroad purchasing power, with railroads ready,
willing and able to go to the nation’s markets for one billion
dollars’ worth of good annually, would be a tremendously
stimulating factor toward recovery.
That one billion dollars in potential buying power carried by the rails has always packed a particularly impressive
wallop. Past experience has shown that when they were
meeting expenses, purchasing needed equipment and mater‘jals—everything from.coal and timber to eggs and lamb chops
—unemployment has decreased, other industries have pros
pered, and national income has increased.
As Mr. Holden made clear, railroads have been confronted with the disagreeable choice of curtailing service and,
discharging employees, or seeking rate increases. Rather than .
start an epidemic of retrenchments, they've chosen the latter
way of mending their billion dollar market basket.
Those direct increases of $3,500,000,000 in only two im-.
portant industries, housing and railroads, might well change
erica toward complete recovery.—Contributed. ' .
