SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) --.--Re ges — $3.00 One Month ...-.----.-.---.---sedee--bes ces enceteess 30-cents — J _ PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN PRE-VIEW President Roosevelt's new cradle-to-the-grave program of social security and propesed blueprint of a post-war América in which the government would vastly expand its sphere of.activity and become an active ‘partner’ in business and industry— irrespective of what action congress may take with regard to it—has provided a pre-view of the 1944 presidential campaign of the utmost clarity and significance. The social and economic implications of the revoluntiorary program are no more far-reaching than its political implications, for while the plan, at least in’ theory, would “guarantee’ every man, woman and child in the nation against economic distress in old age, in sickness and in periods of unemployment, it would frankly seek to achieve this Utopian oljective by means of a super-government reaching into and controlling nearly every field of human activity. As a consequence, the basic issue of the 1944 campaign for président has been clearly defined. The people will be asked to choose between a super-state and private enterprise. For a greater measure of economic security, Roosevelt's program proposes that the people do with a lesser amount of control over their own affairs and their own earnings. The Republicans undoubtedyy will accept that challenge and champion individual initiative and private enterprise against the theory of a mastet-state, charging that the price of security, under such conditions, will be liberty. Regardless of partisan considerations, the approaching campaign will probably overshdow in fundamental importance any other presidential campaign in the nation’s history. Since the first cave man fashioned the first club to defend himself, man has been engaged in an unending fight for security; it is the oldest struggle in the annals of humanity, but in the show-. _ down only the American people can “suarantee” their own security. Whether they prefer-to do it by individual initiative and their own savings, or whether they prefer to turn the responsibility—and the money to take care of it—over to the government, is the question to be decided. CALIFORNIA’S POST-WAR CHALLENGE Toa few impractical emotionalists, the dark days of war seem an unpropitious, perhaps an unpatriotic time, to consider tomorrow's plans for good and gracious living. ' But it is not unintelligent to consider the world of the future, the world our children will live in. Presumably there is wisdom enough among men to meet war problems and_ to start threshing out those we know will come in the wake of war as well. Chief among the puzzles to be solved in California is that of maintaining the tremendous industrial advances made in the past year—by far the highest in the history of the state— of converting war plants to peace time production, and keeping them running. It is a job, not for Washington bureaus or authorities far yemoved from the scene, but for Californians themselves, who have the most at stake and to whom the proper solution means &conomic stability and wholesome living. It is a job for the State Chamber of Commerce, the California Real Estate Association and farm organizations, which already have their committees surveying the field and outlining objectives. It is a job for local chambers and local governments. It is / Seed Money _ There’s only one thing more foolish than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. That’s living up the money that has been put away to buy the seed for next year’s crops. : Although G-E turbines and lamps and refrigerators don’t grow from any seed you can buy at a seed store, yet any manu — facturer—no matter what he makes—has a seed problem just . the same. For next year’s models, and improved designs, and : new products—all these cost money. Money for research, and wha engineering, and new tools, and advertising to tell the public .7 where a product can be obtained, and how much it will cost.one And the only place this money can come from is out of past earnings, or borrowing on the promise of earnings in the future. In other words—from seed money. : From the seed of research and engineering, planted in years past by General Electric, have come some pretty amazing crops. Incandescent lamps five times as efficient as Edison’s, vacuum tubes that made radiobroadcasting possible, refriger: ators for the home and electric machines for industry-to make important jobs easier. Right now the crops we’re growing are all of the “Victory Garden” kind—weapons that are serving with our armed forces on land and sea and in the air. But we mustn’t neglect the seed money for the future. We're looking forward to the continuance of the industrial system that will allow us to open up and cultivate other new and promising fields. So, tomorrow, look for important developments in “television, fluorescent lighting, plastics, electronics. These will "be familiar words in the post-war world. GENERAL ELECTRIC _ COMPANY, SCHENECTADY, N. Y. 1and retail prices upward in ten Soutand it is expected that the OPA may RECONDITIONING THE BOAT j eRe POTENT . . a job for the state legislature, for business and labor leaders, industrialists, retailers, women’s clubs, and citizens generally. That the situation is becoming widely recognized is indicated by the many organizations under whose sponsorship ‘“‘post war’ planning committees already are beginning to function. The slackening off inevitable immediately after the war and before conversion of war plants and workers to new work and new jobs, will bring a period of demoralization to many communities and to many entire states unprepared, somehow to meet the shock. If California can weather the storm and maintain her era of prosperity will center here in the Golden State. It is a goal worth working for. DEATH OF A SOLDIER The casualty lists are lengthening every day—the lists that record the death or injury of boys dear to all of us. Yesterday, a boy died valiantly but needlessly in Tunisia, because American heavy tanks failed to arrive on time. Yesterday, too, a boy died in the jungles of New Guinéa, because MacArthur hadn't yet received full fighting equipment. Yesterday, a boy died in Alaska, or somewhere in the storm-swept Aleutians, because medical supplies were exhausted and new supplies had been delayed in transit. i Whose fault is that? How could it have been averted? The tragedy is that the fault:ig partly ours—and that it could, perhaps, have been prevented,Because we have a stupid, make-work law, which requires that six or seven brakemen do the work of two or three on Dec. Ist, 10 trains were delayed in California from a minimum of 3 hours to a maximum of 24 hours; on Dec. 2nd, 14 trains were delayed from a minimum of two hours to a maximum of 20 hours; on Dec, 3rd, two trains were delayed from a mimimum of one hour to.a maximum of 22 hours; on Dec. 4th, 10 trains were delayed from a minimum of one hour to a maximum of 22 hours, and on Dec. 5th, 10 trains were delayed from a minimum of one hour toa maximum of 21 hours. That is only a partial list; it goes on, day after day, with the same sad story. How many soldier deaths it has caused no one can estimate. And those are our boys who are dying needlessly. Isn't it time we corrected it? We think it is. The way to correct it is to suspend, for the duration, the so-called Full Crew Law, at the current session of the legislature. We hope the legislature doesn’t hesitate. For every day of hesitation is likely to cost the death of another American soldier.
