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.

ANIVERSARY OF
PEARL HARBOR TO
BE OBSERVED
A two day nationwide observance
of the anniversary of the ‘attack on
Pearl Harbor will be sponsored by
the Office of War Information. 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.
