roads in every section of the state. It is a huge program involving eventual expenditure of $128,000,000 for road and
building construction.
“In order to provide appreciable employment at the end
of the war,” said the governor, “the program should be developed to the point where contracts can be let as soon as the
men return. These things can be done more economically now
than if we rush without preparation into them at the termination of hostilities.”
An enormous amount of money is required, taxpayers’
money. But California believes the program is sound and is
ready to pay for it. It is reassuring to see the governor is deNevada City under Act of Congress, March 3,

CLEANING UP THE ALEUTIANS
aware that the Japs would be willing to pay almost any price,
dustries, have particular reason to rejoice that the job of
cleaning up the Aleutians is progressing satisfactorily. Since
they made their first landings on the fog shrouded, stormswept islands, it has been clearly evident that the Jap high
command looked on Attu and Kiska as stepping stones to
conquest of not only Alaska, but the Pacific Coast. And we
all owe a great debt of gratitude to the men of the Alaskan
Bomber Command, who first knocked their well laid plans
askew, and now to the splendid men of our Army and Navy
who are braving both murderous gunfire and murderous weather to retake the Aleutians and drive the Nip invasion forces
into the sea.i! ~ BOMB-MADE FLOODS
‘In the eary stages of its war of nerves, Germany warned
the world that it had perfected “secret weapons’’ which would
be brought into play at the proper time to overwhelm its enemies, but it is ironic that the only secret weapon thus far used
in this war has brought devastation to Germany ‘itself. For
the RAF bomb made floods, which have roared over great
Ruhr Valley, destroying its vital war industries, come about
as close to being a “secret weapon” as any yet employed since
hostilities began. More than 50 German towns have been
flooded; 50,000 families have been made homeless; tremendous damage to war industries has been caused and the people of Germany have sustained the greatest shock of the war
—all as a result of the RAF attack with bombs and mines
which blasted out two great dams and released millions of tons
of raging flood waters in the Ruhr Basin. Although the waters are now receding and the Hitler war machine is hard at the
job of clearing the wreckage and rebuilding, the bomb-made
floods are appraised by allied military leaders as ‘‘the heav“jest single blow yet dealt the Reich’’—and there can be little
doubt that this is true. Hitler is learning that all the surprises
in this war aren't made in Germany.”
SABOTAGE ON THE WAY!
The FBI doesn’t care how many thousands of false tips
it receives from suspicious citizens on possible sabotage—if
only it receives the one small link needed for the net that traps
a saboteur.
And saboteurs are expected.
' Calling on every man, woman and child for “‘constant
watchfulness,’”’ J. Edgar Hoover, FBI chief, told the nation
recently that a newly trained class of Germans highly educated in wartime sabotage shortly will be released from Berlin.
Some will be directed to the United States.
_ Nobody enjoys playing the part of informer. But nobody
enjoys either the prospect of war plants in ruins, shipyards]
wrecked, refineries exploded, bridges dynamited, troop trains
demolished, aviation plants blown up or American workmen
murdered. The alternative is plain. The smallest suspicious
action is worth reporting, says the FBI, again cautioning the
amateur sleuth against trying to follow his own clues, thereby warning the foreign agent and losing him.
The department's plea for aid from the public undoubt-:
edly is bringing a deluge of unfounded reports from overzealous thousands. But if that is the*“way sabotage is prevented
and enemy saboteurs brought to justice, let us all be eternally
watchful and unafraid to reveal to-the proper authorities
“ea seems suspicious or possibly dangerous to the war
effort.
o. CALIFORNIA: PLANS AHEAD
The: ills of confusion, duplication, waste and failure in
~many of the nation’s wartime activities, are due less to sinister
motivation than to careless, irresponsible planning. Such
planless programming is apparent in conflicting official ‘‘directives,’ orders based on undigested half-facts and in major
projects suspended, incomplete and useless after the first enthusiasm has waned.
_No such costly confusion will prevail where California's
post war reconstruction plan is concerned, it appears. ‘““Any
program which is to serve the dual purpose of providing reemployment and immediate restoration of essential highway
facilities when peace comes will require careful advance planning,” declared Governor Warren when he signed more than
_ 14 million dollars worth of construction bills the other day.
The building project will offer jobs to thousands of service men on their return home, and it will restore essential

her eyebrows and says: ‘Out.’
This probably. means the gloves
wanted are no longer in stock, but
the customer might take it personally, and not be for wrong at
that.
A thought which may be helpful here, is this: It will probably
be some years before the relations
of buyer and seller, as they weré
before the war began, are resumed. Prices of many things regarded as staple will continue in the
stratosphere, so to speak. The seller is not and never has been ‘responsible for these conditions. The
‘New Deal is only partially responsible, for, not being omniscent,
the changing conditions of war
could not always be foreseen. It
is true that in many _ respects
Woodrow Wilson was a better
hand at managing a war than F.
D. Roosévelt. But by and large,
we must accept war conditions in
much the same spirit’ that the
French people did in the last war.
““C’est la guere,’’ they said and
shrugged. War has taken over and
we must accept its conditions with
as near an approach to good man-hners as we can muster. If some
sellers are a trifle uppity, after
years of ‘‘we strive to please,’’ let .
us at least rebuke them with perfect manners and gentility.
