Vol. 15, No. 87. __The County Seat Paper _NEVADA cir Y, CALIFORNIA TheGcld Contr THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1941, Ga —_/g 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 ‘had looked over several other sites in Oregon, Washington, Utah and further north in California.

Painted by Bradshaw Crandell, prominent New York illusefense thcome, portraying the active part being taken by the Red Cross in 1 serving the armed forces. 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 They had spent twp weeks ‘at this miners. In every local council, local union headquarters, we have 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 in order to build the stature of CANTONMENT WOULD GREATLY, INCREASE LOCAL BUSINESS job before coming here. haar on, 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.

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 advertnse the Navy of the United States. ‘ Graniteville Mail.
