WE’RE PANICKED!
What with the crashing¢tumult of our homes crt umbling .
around our ears, and our hysterical dashing meee it to dodge the .
‘novel, new type of Japanese bombs—which a now descending in avalanche proportions’ on this coast "Caoeaphliie to
the Jap radio) —it is really surprising we have any time at all .
to note other news developments in the world. Particularly in
the direction of far-off Tokyo.
But we have happened to notice some items lately that
seem to indicate the sacred and inviolable soil of Japan is
quaking under a very real bombardment by our forces from
both sea and air. The Nip propagandists definitely are in an
, excellent position to describe a ‘panic stricken populace’’, as
they’ put it.
We're panicked, all right, atthe Tokyo broadcast. But
not in quite the way Tokyo means.—Contributed. ,
HOW MANY ROADS TO TOKYO?
If Messrs. Nimitz, MacArthur and Halsey know which
Japanese door they will batter on next they are enlightening
neither the Japs nor many experts here at home. Predictions
include all possibilities—a hop on Formosa, cutting enemy].
supply lines from the southwest and_ establishing close-in
staging bases for 24 hour bombing of the Jap home islands;
a landing on the Asiatic mainland; and direct attack and invasion of Japan itself.
The route over which the wanin the Pacific will travel is
no less a matter for public debate than the question of who
will be named by Roosevelt to lead the way. Variously favored for supreme command from here on in are Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, General Douglas MacArthur, General Dwight
Eisenhower, who some apparently expect to finish his big job
in Europe in time for the decisive, last Pacific battles—or a
military dark horse who will weld all forces of sea, air and
land in the final smashing blow.; ‘
Admiral Nimitz, at his s headquarters in Con is only
1500 miles from Tokyo. Iwo. Jima, our latest prize, is only
half that far. Formosa if that should be the next stop, is. on
the very Jap doorsill.
However their routes may lie and whoever may point the
way, all our roads in the Pacific lead to Tokyo—and they are
shortening, day by day.—Contributed.
VICTORY COMES HIGH
Folding the Germans into an ever tightening embrace of
steel, circling the nazi borders and pressing irresistibly in on
three sides at once, allied forces are reminded by Marshal
Montgomery that a brief 3 years ago “it did not seem possible
we could win this war.”’ Today ‘“‘the situation is that we cannot
lose it.:’ the marshal tells his men, warning them that last
round:is going to be one of the toughest of the war.
rue, until the last year or so, the nazis had all the best of
it, rolling their juggernaut ever ahead, commandeering the
food, ‘the. equipment, the arms and the men of conquered
countries, to help wage their bloody conquest. . Every step
ahead they: were ‘garnering new strength—until, like an overconfident fighter in the ring, they foolishly mistook their opponents’ slow start for inability to mix it.
Today we are slugging into the final round—a bitter,
costly and possibly lengthy one. Certainly none of our loved
ones who face the glowering, cornered nazis across ‘steel at
this moment, expects the last round to be an easy one. At
home we remember well the stinging rebuke of the casualty
lists, lengthening after last summer's wave of optimism. Few
at this moment are going to waste time weighing predictions
from quasi-official home sources, of early, easy, victory—not
until the day when word is flashed from the soil our sons are
offering their lives to free.
The impending victory is coming hard—and high=sfunt
‘as the favorable position theeallies now occupy has been so
dearly bought over a long, hard, hammering period of the war
years.—Contributed.
SHOALS AHEAD
When John Hancock, co-author of the Baruch-Hancock
report, was in California recently, he voiced a deep anxiety
which we believe is broadly shared, concerning the form and
direction American government may take in the turbulent
times ahead.
Hancock, speaking before the Commonwealth Club of
California, expressed a conviction that Uncle Sam _ should
withdraw from the management of private business as quickly
and unobstrusively as possible after the war necessity is over.
“If he attempts to retain his wartime status, he will destroy
‘both the emiployment and the business by which he lives,”
_said the speaker, declaring his profound belief ‘‘that our people can manage their own affairs, and that is the basis of our
entire democracy.”
Indicating a wide break in governmental philosophy between the social theorists and those who pay the bill, Hancock
made one declaration which should require no defense in a
democracy: “I ask simply that our social advances be kept
within the willingness of the people to pay for them, themselves.”
That the pitactola actually does need the proeection of
alert public attention is quite clear. Reported pending before a
congressional committee is a bill which would create a “broad,
mew schedule of benefits for railway’ workers only—at the
_ Major expense of the railroads and the public.” HR 1362,
“says the repart, ‘depends, for a chosen few, personal benefits which other citizens poy for fegeonatly coenah for them.
.
As wounded American boys come back from the battle fronts they find
American Red Cross workers in all military and naval hospitals ready to help
them. This year there will be more need than ever before for Red Cross service
in domestic hospitals.
WHITE COLLAR
WORKERS HAVE
NEW CHAMPION
By CLEM WHITAKER
The “lost army” of business and
the public service—the vast army
of thé white collar and the flat
posketbood——has found an energetic
pocketbook—has found-an energetic
nia. ‘
After a comprehensive, year long
study of the plight of white collar
workers, caught in an economic logjam of frozen wages and spiraling
living costs, the Commonwealth Club
of California, through its Industrial
Relations Section, has made a report
of its findings with recommendations,
which are certain to bring’ political
repercussions both here and in Washington.
With respect to the War Labor
Board's rulings, the >‘(Commonwealth Club report bluntly declares:
“The Section believes that the
tripartite composition of the War!
Labor Board is not fair to unorganized white collar employees, that
public members of the board are often inclined to favor organized labor .
and that government regulations
have handicapped white collar employees more than others in getting
salary increases.
“In simple fairness the government should make available. to white
'gistence in 1945 in the United Stat‘Giannini Foundation jof Agricultural
collar workers all remedies possible
under the wage stabilization policy, .
gut more than that, the government .
should do so as a matter of sound .
statesmanship, so that a “substan.
tial. public opinion should not be
made to feel that organized labor receives more favorable. attention.
‘Fourteen million Americans should
not be without redress in the most
vital of their economic affairs.”
The report then significantly states:
“It is the: Section’s conclusion that
white collar employees are being
conditioned to favor (union) organization as a’ solution to their prob-.
lems by government regulations, by,
union agitation, by economic stress.
es and by some employers not raising wages voluntarily.”
Emphiisazing that its criticism of
the War Labor Board is voiced in.a
constructive spirit, and granting the
members of the board sincerity of
purpose, the report nonetheless asserts that members of the Industrial
Relations Section believe the public
and labor members of the board have
granted ‘‘fringe’’ concessions in
many wage cases ‘‘whiich are dangerously inflatinnary through increased
costs they lay upon production.’
The report states in this regard:
“The white collar -employee is
threatened more than other. employees by serious inflation—one accompanied by rise in. prices, acclerated demand and depreciation of the
purthasing power of the currency.”
As one of its final recommendations, the Commonwealth Club Section urges that ‘‘our free public em-. .
ployment service should be returned
to state control_as soon as the war!
is over.”
BERKELEY, March 1—There will
be more than enough food for subes but not enough to give each person all that he wants to buy. So said
Dr. Harry Wellman, director of the
Economics on the Berkeley campus
of the University of « California.
Speaking before the bay area branch
of the California Home Economics
Association, he pointed out’ that
many thousands of families had
more than twice the amount of
money to spend for food: in .1944
than in 1940.
Rationing and price ceilings prevent families with higher incomes
from bidding the food away from
those with lower incomes. However,
price ceilings result’ in poorer distribution since there is no incentive
to ship food to distant areas that
can be sold at home for the same
price, he explained.
“The food picture for 1945 will
ibe good unless there is a drought’’,
he said. “However, those of us who
live in cities had better see to it that
the farmers have enough help to
harvest their crops even if that
means going to the farms and helping.’’
“With half the world offering an unhappy object lesson
to prove the fallacy of something for nothing, and to illustrate
the decadence of initiative under -too much dominating government, the choice here should not be too difficult.
If a measure of individual initiative and a modicum of
prideful, personal responsibility
and importance to the common man, we need simply to skirt
those same shoals that other whole peoples have foundered
on. —Contributed.
