WILL JAPAN COMMIT SUICIDE?
Japan, if we are to believe recent Jap broadcasts, is determined on national suicide, rather than capitulation. All the
_enemy propaganda is geared to that theme, and recent military operations seem to bear out the new propaganda line.
We have won at Okinawa, but only by reason of virtually exterminating all the Jap troops on the island—and while
we have exacted a much heavier toll of our enemy, we have
paid a fearful price for that victory, in killed and wounded.
The Battle of Okinawa, too, was marked. by constant and relentless kamikaze (suicide) plane attacks on our naval forces.
In one of their latest communiques, the enemy has boasted that all Jap pilots, henceforth, will be suicide pilots, grimly
determined to commit aerial hara-kari for the glory of their
peror. We have been told by the Tokyo radio that Jap balone operated by suicide pilots, soon will be unleashed on
the American mainland—and that every Japanese civilian
able to bear arms will be enrolled in a suicide home guard to
die on the beaches when Nippon’s D-day dawns.
Our military leaders, with recent experience in Germany
in mind, for the most part are withholding comment on whether the Japs will carry through their national suicide threat
to its final, deadly conclusion. Berlin, under the heel of nazi
domination, did literally commit suicide—and the final weeks
of the war in many sections of Germany amounted to mass
suicide in a hopeless cause. There are some, however, who
believe that the Japs are not as completely controlled by their
wnilitary magters as the Germans were—and that they will
he rather than die, when the realization is pounded home
that defeat is inevitable.
This much at least, is true: Japan committed suicide as a
Breat power the day she went to war, without warning, on

TOMORROW’S MEN
One of the most important affairs to be cancelled lately
Sy the ODT, due to transportation shortages, involved no forign potentate, national dignitaries or even local leaders.
It involves future leaders—800 of them—who were all
set to participate in model self government at California boys’
state, held annually under American Legion auspices at the.
state capital. There in previous years, the boys learned democratic government by actually building a community framework and studied its structure and procedures by actually operating it.
With millions of German, Japanese and Italian youth impregnated from boyhood with arrogant ideologies concerning
the super-state, and their own super status—and promising
future headaches to the soundest world peace plans—institutions like boys’ state are pretty seriously needed. Adapted and
extended to foreign territory, they might even play a major
part in the reeducation of those foreign children-enemies of
democratic procedure.
With others who look earnestly to the youth of the land,
nowing they hold our country’s future in their hands, we
ope that another yc7r will see boys’. state-reestablished for
the highest welfare of our youth and our nation.—-Contributed.
A NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT
The state of California finally has provided what the city
and county of San ee has advocated; namely,
business management for the port of San Francisco.
The present legislature enacted a series of bills, reorganizing the board of state harbor commissioners and authorizing
the appointment of a $11,000 a year port manager. That post
has just been filled by Neil S. Laidlaw, an experienced traffic
authority.
The people of San Francisco, more alert to the needs of
the port of San Francisco than anyone else, long ago realized
the importance of centralized supervision and business man
agement of the San Francisco harbor facillties. They amended
the city charter in 1936 to provide just such a set up, to take
effect if the legislature returned control of the port to the city.
The largest an busiest port on the Pacific Coast remains
the only important California harbor administered under state
control but the state’s action in bringing the port’s management up to date at last is encouraging, even if belated.—Contributed.

) AGRICULTURAL
LABOR DEFINED?
WELL NOT YET
By Ralph H. Taylor
farm organizations in
state
California
the closing days of the 1945
ant victory of the session with final
passage of SB 615, by Senator Sutton, which would incorporate _an
equitable clear cut definition of agricultural labor in the unemployment
insurance act. :
The bill, as enacted would exempt
all types of farm labor from the unemployment insurance act which are
exempt in other states under the federal definition, except for workers
in dried fruit and dried vegetable
packing plants.
The legislation is vitally necessary
not only to end tiie needless confusjon which has resulted from lack of
a sound and workable definition of
farm labor in this state, but also to
protect California’s farming industry
from being required-to carry a discriminatory tax overhead not immposed on competing farmers in other
states.
There is still great danger, however that the fight will be lost in the
final round, as Governor Warren has
not yet signed the bill—and it is reported that the CIO political action
committee, with the aid of other
pressure groups, is planning to flood
the governor with thousands of letters demanding that it be vetoed.
California agriculture certainly
‘eannotafford to ignore that challenge, and this is an urgent”SOS to
every farmer who is sincerely interested in protecting his industry to
write Gov. Warren asking that the
farming industry in this state ‘be
treated fairly and that this bill, SB
615 be given his signature.
This is the: second time that the
legislature has enacted this legislation and this time it is imperative
that it not be cast aside by executive
veto. Two years ago Warren vetoed
a similar bil, passed ‘by the. 1943
legislature, stating that he was doing so in order that the California
employment stabilization commission
might not be hampered in thoroughly reviewing the situation and determining what needed to be done. The
same argument certainly
stabilization commission when it
adopted its new definition of farm
labor on May 16 of this year—a definition which proved wholly unsatsaid that: it had no authority to go
farther, but that the legislature
could take further remedial action if
it deemed it mecessary.
The legislature in passing SB 615
after weeks of debate and exhaustive hearings, decided for the second
time that California farmers are entitled to substantially the same exemiptions under the unemployment
insurance tax granted farmers in
other states by means of the federal
definition.
It is difficult to see how there can
be any sound objection to that principle; for in the post war market,
with the highly competitive condattions which are bound to exist, California farmers cannot afford to carry any discriminatory tax load not
imposed on farmers in other areas,
if they are to be able to find Buyers
for their commodities.
California farmers are not opposed
to having their farm workers

be made crystal clear. But they are
opposed to being singled out to car[TY an unemployment tax not ‘borne
‘by their competitors in other states .
—simvly because that kind of discrimination is unjust and will play
i havoc with thevstate’s farm econo-.
my.
Farmers in this. state already
must compete unider the handicap of
being farther from their markets
than most of the other farmerg in
the nation, which results in heavier
freight costs. California farmers,
too, pay the highest farm wages in
the entire country—and must ahbsorb that extra cost and still be able
to sell their products at a somewhat
from other sections. But they can’t
afford to have their state government add to their burden by forcing
them to pay a tax not paid ‘by the
farmers n other states.
(Mr. Farmer, if you value your
livelihood write a letter ‘to Governor
Warren asking him to sign SB 615
by Senator Sutton—and telling him
you want the right to compete with
farmers in other states on an equal
basis.
