V-E DAY IN CALIFORNIA
SanFrancisco and California in general took V-E Day
quietly, with none of the hysteria displayed in some eastern
cities. 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.

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.
