THAT WE MAY LIVE!
“Nig victory in American militarv histevvy wes ever attained at a hicher price.’ eccording to the War Denartment
than our recent conquest of Tarawa, lavenese Gibraltar of the
Gilbert Islands. More than 1.000 American bovs gave their
lives in the fierce ficht—and more than 2,500 others were dis:
abled or wounded.
We wonder sometimes, when we read the
—J
disnews
patches of the heroic fight our men are making—of bbys who
keep on fighting:after they are desneratelv wounded: of the,
Jads who land on those beaches under murderous machine gun
fire—how worthy we are of the sacrifices thev are making.
We wonder about that when we read of strike leaders threatening to shut down vital war industries unless their demands
for pay increases are granted; when we read that steel workers are demanding a 1. 5-cents an hour pay jump, and that a
million railroad workers are threatening to go on strike unless
they get an 8-cents an hour increase. ee
We are not.arguing the merits or demerits of these wage
demands in this editorial. Perhaps some of the raises are justified. But-when American boys are dying, by the hundreds and
the thousands, that we may live, we certainly need to take account of our stewardship here on the home front. We need to
ask ourselves, every day: “Are we worthy?”’
DOC STORK SAYS—NO BABY SHORTAKE HERE!
Even though there’s-a shortage of rubber pants and dia" per -pins—and a milk schortage looms—Doc Stork flatly refuses to have anything to do with any rationing plan for babies. In fact, the California baby crop, for 1943, is the biggest
on record, with every indication, according to the State Department of Public Health. that more than’ 175,000. births
will have been recorded before ‘the Old Year is counted out.
This compares with 153,120 births last year and only 75,229
in 1933, at the bottom of the’ depression.
We don't know what the moral of this may be, except,
perchance, that life is determined to out-run death—and that
young mothers and fathers still believe there's hope for the
world, even when it js engulfed in the worst world war in
history. :
Anyway, we have 175,000 brand new Native Sons and
Daughters—and that’s something to gladden our hearts and
’ make us highly resolve to give them a better state and a better world to live in.
(A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY
The California Division of Forestry has made a significant ‘discovery. In reporting on the 1943 forest fire season,
now regarded as ended, the division states:
Beautiful and Peaceful is ev funeral
ice conducted by us. With complete
“you may leaye.every detail
We are trained to serve you in
-of need so that you will have
“It will be noted — that the number of fires to date is
much larger than in the past two years. This is surnrising, in
view of the curtailment of travel and forces the conviction that
local residents rather than the traveling public are responsible
for the increase in the number of fires.”’
One of the big difficulties in coping with the forest fire
problem has been that it has been se large and vague. with no
place to take hold of it and pin down responsibility. What was
everybody's business was nobody’s business. Now it appears
there is good ground for believing it is a local problem that
may be solved in large measure by application of local remedies. What a splendid opportunity for some service organization! We hope one of them will take it up.
TOKYO BLUES
Tokyo apparently has a bad case of the blues. The Tap
warlords seem to be prenarine themselves. and their fellow
countrymen, for the fact that Germany may soon be knocked
aut of the war-——and that its usefulness, as an ally, already has)
virtually ended.
For the Tokyo radio blares the news: “We must fight
this war ourselves. We should not be dependent on others.
We must win by our own efforts.”’
How unhapyy the Nips must be when they make such.an
. admission. Their original plan was*far different. Hitler was
going to keep us well occupied in Europe while Japan took
its time with the conquest of the Pacific. . But the Nazis let
them down. Sad. isn’t it? Sad, we mean, for Tokyo!
EUROPEAN CRISIS
The war:in Europe is thundering toward a close. That
much is.deadly certain. Whether it, will come in a matter of
days or weeks—or whether the end is still months away—we
can not know. But it is.becoming more and more evident
every day that the Nazis see only doom. ahead of them.
A desperate Hitler, seeking to stave off disaster a little
longer, cries out to his troops: ‘““The nation which loses will
have ended its existence because it is madness to expect any-.
thing else of this battle but victory or perdition.”’
And for Hitler and those who must share the war guilt
with him, that is undeniably true. Only perdition awaits them.
We can only hope that it isn’t too long postponed.

S. P. Engineer
Ih normal years the Christmas season is a jolly time
on the railroad. Package-laden travelers bound for
family reunions fill our trains.
~ We railroaders have fun carrying people on holiday journeys, and we hate .to_disappoint .a single
ticket seeker .. but this war year we really have
no room for pleasure travelers.
Service men on holiday furloughs, relatives trayeling to meet them, military personnel in organized
‘groups, business men in war work—these people
now have first call on our facilities. .

_ be wise NOT to try the train, We hope there'll come
