i: re enenenen ‘ ‘ Page Two es Nevada City Nugget. 305 Bread Street, Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined bf statute. Printed and Published at Nevada Cit}. SCUTTLED FLEET BLOW TO HITLER nv France yesterday ceased to be a_ nation but before her ', doom was completed the men of her navy, in one last glorious burst of action, sent their ships to the bottom of Toulon harbor rather than see them fall into the hands of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. . . In sinking their fleet the French officers and _ sailors . struck an important blow for the United Nations cause. Their action not only averted the: possibility of a major naval battle between Allied shins and French shins manned by Nazis but reportedly has rendered the. harbor of Taulon. the finest continental naval base. in the Mediterranean) useless to Hitler. Faced with a horeless cause, with Axis warplanes ready to pounce upon them if they attempted to sail: and with Axiground forces ready to»~povnée upon them as they lay at anchor, the men of the French navy remained true to the tradi‘tions of republican France. They chase the only course open to men of honor and of courage. Not only did many of the officers and sailors die in the exploding hulks of their shins, but those who survived may be sure they will face Hitler's wrath. Balked in his efforts to secure this rich prize, Hitler without doubt wi!l demand revenge. Death, torture, or at the very least the concentration camp, will probably be the fate of many of the men of the French navy. ' The heroic rart ‘of the scuttling of the Toulon fleet lies in the fact that themen who did it realized that fact, yet they went ahead with their. plans. As Hitler sent his legions into the Tovlon area, the last bit of France yet unoccupied, all vestiges of free or semi-free government in France were obliterated. The puppet government of Vichy lost any minute powers it might have enjoyed and France became no more than a province of the Third Reich. * The political s ered as complete. . But as the action of the men at Toulon proves, the spirit of the French people has not been subjugated. And when the United Nations tide of victory sweeps over. Europe, the people of France, remembering the bitter oppression of the Nazis will rise in terrible wrath against Hitler and his Roman stooge.—Sacramento Union. POLICY NEEDED— NOT CZAR Sharply criticizing the activity, or rather the inactivity of the War Manpower Commission whichfailed, after seven months, to establish a basic policy or program for meeting its problems, the special Senate (Truman) investigating committee made some proposals of its own. For one thing, the committee recommended lengthening the basic work week to at least forty-eight hours as against . the present national average of forty two and a half. Overtime wages in war industry, where the government buys the product, the committee proposed should be paid in war bonds, cashable only after the war or usable during _ hositilities for payment of federal taxes. \ _ . The committee report also suggested that the forty hour -week in non-war industry be suspended as ‘‘a possible answer’ to the severe labor shortage there. > However, although a policy is badly needed, according to the committee, compulsory legislation ora single manpower czar is not. ‘The manpower problem is too difficult and complex to be solved by any simple solution such as creating a manpower czar or authorizing by statute a government agency to determine by coercion where each employee shall work. . “The administrative machinery would be too cumbersome and there would be too much room for favoritism, and even graft by the thousands of local agents who would be exercising the power to determine whether:and where John _ Jones and Bill Smith are to work.” TO MEET DOUBLED SHIP QUOTA : A military event like the invasion of Africa brings home to us all, more poignantly than ever, the importance of shipping in the crucial battles of this war. It is more than gratifying, therefore, to learn from Rear Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman of the U. S. Maritime Com‘mission and head of the War Shipping Administration, tha’ the construction goal of 24,000,000 deadweight tons of mer. chant ships in 1942 and 1943 is being met. Only a year ago our plans called for a total of but 12,000,000 tons; then the program was stepped up to 18.000.000 tons. Completion on schedule thus far of the 24,000,000 goal (6,000,000 of the 8,000,000 called for this year already delivered) is a tribute to an industry that has geared itself to meet the requirements of our fighting forces. A HIGH SCHOOL KID SPEAKS UP A high school kid of Detroit, Michigan, has this to say regarding inter-school and inter-collegeate athletics: _. Why would they have famous coaches spending all their, time training those teams? --But now they want to from us. Nobody has spoken for us. Nobody has asked: our .opinion. ___ Don't they know what “‘varsity’’ means to a high school joy, whether he’s on a team or not? .

Joining in the observance will be the War and Navy Denartments, ail other war agencies, war plants, labor, schools, colleges and numerous other organizations. The anniversary will be observed Sunday, December 6, and Monday, December 7, wherever there are Am,ericans around the world. The inclusion of Sunday is doubly fortunate, both because the original attack fell on a Sunday and ‘because the tone and religious ceremonies of the Sabbath are in keeping with the spirit of rededication to a.high purpose which will characterize this anniversary. The OWI proposes that the nation under the cry of ‘‘Remember Pearl . Harbor—work, ight, sacrifice!’’ will: Honor and remember the men and women who have already given their lives in this struggle. Give thanks to'God for the nation’s survival of, the unprovoked attack of ruthless’ enemies. Clear headedly assess what has been done in one year of war, and what lies ahead to be done in terms of ‘‘work, fight, sacrifice.” Rededicate the nation’s strength, its time, its wealth and its very life $ lal rededication be in that key. These to preserving a concept of life more precious than individual life itself; to work, fight, sacrifice for all that is contained in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States of America. The OWI proposes that Sunday be dedicated to solemn memorial those who died at Pearl Harbor and those who have died since, to thanksgiving for our survival during the first critica? year of the war, and to rededication of all our resources to the spiritual values which are at stake in this war. ; It is, proposed that the rallying cry, ‘“‘work, fight, » sacrifice!’’ be sounded on Monday and that nationwords surely bring to every man and woman a realization that this is a war that touches all of us, personally and intimately. It is a part of the observance of the annivarsery of Pearl Harbor that all of us should take stock, both of the material achievements and shortcomings of our war effort during the past year and of our spiritual attitude toward the essential values of national and international life. The hour of the Pearl Harbor attack (2:20 p. m. E. W. T.). December 7, will be specially marked, but no ceremony should. delay war production.
