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. are still deemed of some value rae eee a ah REVERED MEMORIES—
