Out here in California we know perhaps better than other parts of the country that only one part of the global war has been won, and that perhaps the longest and hardest part still lies before us. ; Californians know that from now on this state will be the focus of American and. United Nations endeavor, of war industry and of transportation. San Francisco, already a major port of embarkation, will now become incomparably the larg-. est in the world. Troops and material—and donations of life. giving blood and plasma—will continue to pour through the . Golden Gate toward the west that becomes the east. The, wounded will continue to come back through the newly assigned Stockton Airport and ‘liberated prisoners of the Japanese will see their homeland first at San Francisco. In northern and central California much of the food ‘needed by our forces, our allies, and civilian war workers is being . grown. Its cities are responding nobly to the Seventh War} Bond Drive and to appeals for still urgently needed military . nurses. The Pacific war has always, perhaps, seemed more real to us out here than has the European war—except to those whose own sons, husbands, brothers, and sweethearts. have been fighting in Italy, France, or Germany. Today it is more real than ever, as with full victory over the nazis we on the Pacific Coast resolve to give and do our*utmost until Japan too flies the white flag of unconditional surrender. — Contributed. A DEPRAVED PEOPLE Perhaps the worst calamity that has‘befallen our world as a result of this war—worse even than the horrible toll of death and ‘destruction—is the revelation that there could be such human depravity on a mass scale as exists in Germany. And there is no valid reason to suppose that a sense of moral responsibility returned suddenly with the nazi surrender. We can mourn our dead and pray that they will not have died in vain. We can remember them, in word and deed, as we seek to build a decent world, worthy of their high sacrifice. But what can we do with the millions of moral lepers who have spread their dread contagion throughout Germany—the spiritually dead, but physically living, who have revolted the world with their bestial atrocities? What can we do with the Hitler youth? What can we do with the German people who stood by, with folded hands, while millions of their men and women savagely tortured and butchered the helpless and innocent > . In the aftermath of war, they may become civilization’s worst burden, for they have not died with the Hitler hierarchy. Only their moral instincts are dead. Their viciousness and depravity still live—and the world must either, cope with it, or this war, like the last, will have been fought in vain.—Contributed. \ ‘A 'HARVESTING VACATION During the war years the San Francisco harvest council has developed a system for recruiting city dwellers, both students and adults, to go into the orchards and berry patches of central California to relieve the agricultural labor shortage. This plan of vacation with pay and fresh air has had in; creasing success, as the farmers learned better to meet the living requirements of their hired “summer boarders” and the volunteer harvesters learned more of their responsibility. Just how great will' be the demand for city folks in the country this summer has: not yet been determined. However, the San Francisco wartime harvest council has been alerted by its chairman, Edson Abel]; and with the cooperation of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce is preparing to meet demands as they arise. There will certainly be need for many vacation workers, and those interested in this movement should also alert themselves to respond to whatever appeal may be made. — San Francisco Examiner. Advertisement From where I sit ‘A hy Joe Marsh Lud Denny Lends a Helping Hand Lud Denny got home early from the plant the other day, and found his missus in the middle of housecleaning, with the furniture moved around, and the place a shambles. Some men might have grumbled about getting precious little time off, and finding their home upset. But not Lud. He just took his coat off, and pitched in and helped. And when he got the last curtain in place, and stepped down off the ladder, there was his missus with a tray of cold beer and ay cheese blintzes she’d made for Lud. And blintzes are Lud’s favorite dish. From where I sit, it’s little things like this that will help to ease our troubled lives today— see us through difficulties—keep alive the spirit of good fellow, ship and mutual respect.

PUBLIC LANDS — This column previously mentioned that a copy of Senator Cordon’s bill to require the federal government to pay: 2. per cent on the value of all national for: ests lands: to the counties in lieu cf taxes had’ been sent to the supervisors, chambers of commerce, etc. in the second district for comment and ¢riticsim. The first came in from Sierra County. Both the board of supervisorg and the chamber of ‘commerce opposed the bill on the grounds that it would give more control to the forest service over mining and would net the county less than it is now receiving from the forest service for timber sold. This is interesting inasmu'ch as the bill if it is passed at all will probably not Pass with a two per cent per year payment but ‘probably something nearer one per cent: The forest service is favorable to the principle of the legislation but wanted the bill to carry a 3-4 of-one per cent payment. The question of comparative benefits has to be figured-—over—a lomg period of years as the payment under the bill will be a definite amount every year, whereas timber Dayments now depend on how much is actually being:cut—in some counties practically nothing at all. Forest Service Exchanges—At the Present time the forest. service must ige the consent of county government if it buys new lands and removes them from the tax rolls. But no such consent is required if an exchange is arranged whereby the forest service takes title to private lands in exchange for cutting rights on lands to which the forest service retaing the fee title. This hails the same effect in removing taxaxle property from the rolls as an outright purchase, but it is subject to no local control. A bill to require the consent of local government to affect these exchanges, thus giving complete local control over any further extension of federal groups in the second district. The problem of federal ownership in the
mountain counties not only involves getting some money from tihese ownership to support county government, but also stopping further spreading of federal ownership and further depleting the tax base. Gold Mining—yYesterday I drafted a letter to Mr. Krug, the chairman of WIPB, demanding the lifting of the gold ban. The letter was signed by 31 congressmen from eleven western states. Aifter its delivery I wag asked to meet with Krug and Paul McNutt, the head of WIWC on the question. I asked Senator Millikin of Colorado to go with meas he is handling ¢he matter on the senate side. At the meeting MoNutt again stressed the urgent need for manpower in the lead mines as the reason for not lifting the gold mining ban. I jointed out to him that no gold miners on the coast were in the lead mines and none were going to go into the lead mines in any event. . ;were shipped out by air express with . in half an hour of taking, and reached’New York within’21 hours, The California Academy of -Sciences, in Golden Gate Park, was displaying cut flowers from the .arboretum from all the United Nattions at.

The veterans’ building telephone switchboard, which has its 6wn exchange name, INternationlal, «started with 1500 cals a day for the ten op(erators; by now it has 16,000. In peak times there have been 1900 calls in an hour. The widest assortment of Callifornia wines ever offered is available at the cafeteria in the opera house, with appropriate vintages selected for each of the main dishes on the menu. ‘Eric Severeid referred to San Francisco on the radio as “Frisco.”’ That night ‘he got 700 phone calls from indignant citizens, and the next day was snowed under by letters of protest.
