With his chin jutting out and fire in his eye, Henry J. Kaiser publicly assures both U. S. Steel and the Federal Defense Plan Corporation that his Fonta steel plant is not for sale to eastern interests—definitely. Not only will Fonta continue production after the war as a going western industry, thunders Kaiser, but it will expand—and under the same management. The ramifications of such a controversy are too many and too mountainous for the laymen. But this we know. California wants to retain the industries that got their growth here in war time, and all other factors being equal. wants them under the management of the men who ‘first dreamed and planned them from their beginnings, guided their war contribution and staked everything on their success. In a public declaration of principle, Kaiser had this to say: “The real issue here is more than a question of ownership of an industry. It is the question of the kind-of America we hope for after the war. It is employment, not only in terms of jobs, but as a worthy standard of living. It is the decentralization of power in industrial organization. “The freedom. to produce is as basic to peace and liberty as any of the freedoms thus far proclaimed. This is no crusade for abstract ideals. It is an appeal for a west and south competing on equal terms not only for a share in America’s wealth, but a part in her progress.” The west's newest stake in that prograss is represented in its 300, million dollar steel industry. That is the kind of asset to be nurtured and protected for the best interests of the west and for the principle of free, unfettered competition within the nation.—Contributed. _ . PROGRESS? We note that congressional hearings are being resumed now an a bill whose counterpart popped up last session, and which was widely: discussed in California—at the end of the line in the matter of rail and road transportation. ‘It is H. R. 1362, and it proposes a wonderful Shadule of broadened social security benefits to railroad employees. If offers, in.addition to the present retirement, pension and hospitalization benefits, a new spstem of life insurance annuities for the survivors of employes, former employes and retired employes. It offers, in addition to the present’ unemployment in-, surance system the newfangled feature of payments for falling in the bathtub, appendicits operations, pregnancy and maternity, never before considered * ‘occuptional illnesses.” . The cost of the new program is figured at $100, 000, 000 a year,.an though solely for the benefit of railroad employes, the railroads themselves would pay approximately two-thirds -of the bill, and the employes one third, according to the congressional, study. ‘. Those are mighty fine benefits, and most of us would be very glad to have somebédy else pay the biggest slice of such a full coverage insurance plan for us. But it occurs to us that: in this period of heavy war strain, this is rather a poor time to load another huge burden onto any industry, unless the intent is to cause its collapse. If it is expected that the public will pay, in higher transportation costs, the bill for such special benefits for a special group, that is scarcely gcceptable, either. If the cost of personal benefits is not to be paid by the individual who profits by them, but by the public, soon everybody will be paying everybody else's bill instead of his own. If that is progress, it seems to us progress in the wrong direction.—Contributed. THE FARMER REMEMBERS In the farming communities, bitter memories of some disastrous events which followed World War I may prevent much incautions over-buying of agricultural land in the present boom market. . The current advance in fuiren land prices is following the same upward curve that occurred during the last war, and already prices have climbed to a point nearly 50 per cent higher than their level.six years ago. That sales are. up, too—about 39 per cent—worries.the farm économists, and should worry the farmer. “‘If the trend continues,’ Chairman A. J. McFadden of the State Chamber Arigcultural Committee points, out, “is can be expected to have the same results which followed the last war when many farmers suffered heavy losses during the downward readjustment of land prcies.’ The wise farmer with a long memory on hand, will curb}, any temptation to over-buy, will pay off his debts and accumuate what he can toward the purchase of necessary farm machinery or improvements when they become available again. . Those who remember the debacle that faced agriculture after the last war will put every nickel they can spare after paying debts, into war bonds—and be ready and able to face “whatever problems confront them after this one.—ContributEEE -. figure, A Through the Red Cross ie 9 American people serve the men of their Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. : NISEI COINTO.

Since June permanent relocation has substantially reduced this reservoir of available farm labor, and now with the lifting of the exclusion or. ders and announcement of. liquidation plans, the agency is abandoning seasonal leave entirely in favor of leaves. for permanet relocation. Agricultural programs at the centers produced food crops, poultry and beef valued at more than $3.,000,000 during the 12 month period all of which was consumed by the residents to effect a saving of that amount in center operation.
