Thinking
Out Loud
—y
The President in his address before the Navy League Monday
evening reiterated his determination to stand no more nonsense
from Germany on the sea. The
navy will shoot on sight. Well, we
knew that already. We believe that
nine out of ten Americans approve this order to the Navy. The
only new item was his rebuke to
John L. Lewis, and the implicit
threat contained: therein. The
President lugged in the small minority of industrialists who are trying to make money out of this
emergency. It is possible, of course,
that there are such industrialists,
still wearing their horns, hooves
and hides, as contrasted with the
many whose outer’ teguments
adorn the New Deal’s barn door.
But it is good policy, at least good
Rooseveltian policy, to pair evil
doers, a rich-’un and a poor ’un,
so to speak. It makes for a balance
which the President dearly loves
for reason of’ politics,
But there was an implied threat
that if John L. Lewis and his coal
miners continue their obstruction
of the defense progrom, especially such a vital part of it as steel
making, the President will do
something about it. That we think,
was the high point in his Monday
night’s talk,
First the President had written
two appeals to John L. Lewis to
put his miners back to work.
Twice Lewis had refused. The last
time he gave a bolony excuse. having to do with J. P. Morgan. He
implied the President. was leaning
toward favoritism for the great
bogey man of the radicals. That
must have been a bit nettling, but
the President a third time appealed to Lewis to call off his miners
strike, pending mediation. At this
writing, nothing doing. We doubt
not that the Lewis ego is greatly
expanded by this thrice repeated
appeal on the part of the President of 130 million people, to the
‘president of a union, of perhaps a
millian men, Lewis the poor boy
who rose from grimy depths of a
coal mine to be a dictator to a half
million of his fellow men, cannot
‘elp ‘but be flattered, no end.
Whether the President should
have thus singled out Lewis for
this distinction, is a question that
need not trouble us too much. If
he really intends to crack down
at last upon the truculent Lewis,
these three appeals will have been
a warning to which he can point
in his memoirs. But if he does not
do something after Monday night’s
implied promise that he ‘would,
John L. Lewis, the toad, will swell
to the size of the ox. There will be
no living with him, so far as the
New Deal is congerned. For to a
man such’ as Lewis the defense of
his country is as nothing compared to gathering and holding power
over his fellow men,
So we think that the President,
this time, after attracting the national spotlight to himself and
John L. Lewis, is abmost certain to
do something about the coal strike.
Personally we had rather’ the
President had cracked down on the
coal strike leaders first and talked about it afterward: Like a lot
of other people, just as Welles said
of the Japanese, we are not too
much concerned with words, but
are mightily concerned with ac.
tions.
The President did not say what
he would do, in case Lewis did not
eall off his strike and permit the
Mediation Board to continue its
work. To thoughtful persons that
omission is important.’ The President’s emergency powers are only
a little less than those of a President in war time. He could, as has
been suggested, appeal to the coal
miners over Lewis’ head, but if
they did not respond promptly that
would rather enhance the power
of Lewis. He would loom larger
than ever, much to the discomfiture of the President.
And, Lewis probably has the

Jack Kaufman’ secretary-manager
of Commerce, was the guest speaker
at the Rotary luncheon today. He
talked on the proposed cantonment
which extends five miles into Neve43
County’s southern border and runs
from the Yuba to Bear River.
Regarding any certainty whether
the cantonment will be built or not,
Mr. Kaufman could offer nothing but
conjectures. Some of those connected
with the present survey and. planning of the tract have declared that
never before has the War Department spent so muth money, a quarter of a million dollars, in planning a
cantonment, without completing it.
Incidentally the ‘preliminary plans
must be eompleted by the middle f
November.
The cantonment project on Nevada
County’s southern border was chosen first by a civilian board after it

not a doubt in the world, -that
Lewis has his stgoges, his whip
weilders, who would see to it that
the penalty for disobeying his orders would far outweigh any
patriotic impulse they might feel
to respond to the President’s appeal. We doubt if the President
would chance an appeal of this
kind.
‘Probably the quickest and safest way to affect resumption of
coal mining, would be to throw
troops into the coal regions, and
offer protection to all miners who
wish to return to work: For we do
believe that this inafticulate mass
of hundreds of thousands of coal
iminers, would really: prefer to
work in the mines for their country’s defense, rather than starve

ing board looked over the site. Originally there were two. sites, one
south of the Yuba and the other
north. The general topography of the
site south of the Yuba won the ap: proval .of the army engineers, Still
. Jater an artillery colonel surveyed
the site ,and it was Mr. Kaufman’s
assumption that during the later
consideration of the cantonment
area, enough acreage was added to
the original site to provide for an
artillery range.
What the cantonment will mean
to the community’s on the rim of
the cantonment, if and when established, Mr. Kaufmann — sketched
briefly. The effect will be both good
and bad. Schools will have to be
greatly enlarged, depending upon the
number of men employed there. The
‘police forces, and the sheriffs’ personnel will naturally need to be
greatly increased.
On the other hand, even during
the construction period, business wil]
be greatly benefited. The workmen
will want all sorts of houselfold
goods, clothing and food. Whether in
view of the priorities merchants will
be able to supply this vast new need,
is a question. In San Luis Obispo,
where a cantonment of about 20,000
men is located, Mr. Kaufman found
that individual businesses
Nevada City, he observed, should be
able to reap a great harvest without
a great deal of expense, in that its
recreational areas, summer and winter, would become immensely popular almost overnight.
Whether or not, the cantonment,
once established, would be permanent
or not was a question, but Mr. Kaufman was inclined to think it would,
because of the superior opportunities
it offered for what is known in the
almy as triangulur training, that is,
artillery, méchanized forces and air
forces, such, roughly as are coordinated in the’ German panzer divisions.

Small Town
Sailor Boys
ADVERTISERS ASSIST IN
CAMPAIGN FOR NAVAL
RECRUITS
The U. ng Navy has Iara
from its experience of some
150 years that small town boys
make the best sailors. Therefore the Navy is putting on the
biggest campaign in its history
to enroll boys and young men
between the ages of 17 and 31
Jin the naval service.
This campaign is opened in
the five Western States, and
will presently spread to other states
of*the Union, in towns of 50,000
population or less. The Nevada City
Nugget has been chosen as one of
the newspapers to carry on this
drive for sailors for a two-ocean
Navy. Commander Paul Whiting, in
charge of the national recruiting
service states that 15,000 sailors are
needed each month for several
months to come to man the big fleets
of the United States which now
stand guard in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Each week ‘new units
slide down the ways of the country’s
. Shipyards and after being outfitted,
are assigned their role in proecting
this country from enemies on the
high seas.
j
In the last issue of the Nugget, it
was announced that Carl Ross of the
Nugget staff had been appointed
Navy Editors He will be assisted by
all members of the Nugget personnel in answering any questions askied by young men who have reached. :
fine age for enlistment in the United
iStates Navy.
.
The Nugget has a limited number
of pamphlets, issued by the Navy,
which are entitled ‘‘Everything You
Want to Know About Life in the U.
'S. Navy.”’ Young men, boys, who
jhave graduated from the high school
or who are graduating this year, are
invited to call and get one of rheye
, pamphlets.
We call attention to the many
loyaliand patriotic business men of
Nevada City and Grass Valley, who
with their advertisements ‘are supporting the Nugget campaign for
naval recruits, Their advertisements,
each one setting forth some special
advantage for young men offered in
the naval service, will be found on
the back page of this issue. They
have used their space not to advertise their wares, or services, but te
