JUST 'WONDERIN’ . wonder, as we travel to and fro, — Coming from whence and often going hence, _ If, in our knapsacks we will pack with care A goodly quantity of plain, common sense. I wonder if the war is teaching us to place a true value upon that basic commodity. common ‘sense. We haven't ways done that in the past; but with the lessons recent!v learned, over aged opinions, are gradually being discarded and perhaps newly acquired view points will be influenced in no “small measure by common sense. Our prewar ideas are changing—some of them have ions of the youngsters of this generation. Just a few years ago Wwe were appraising them in most unflattering terms. They were “wild; irresponsible, light headed,” and a’ that. Then came the war, and almost over night these happy go lucky, care free irrespressibles were fighting in Africa and the jungles of the south seas—fighting for us, for themselves and all the future of the human race. These young heroes whom we now so proudly acclaim, were no longer empty headed problem children; upon their shoulders lay the destinies of nations and the problems of the universe. Thus we found that youth which must be served, can serve as well; that our young folk are equipped mentally and physically and ready to respond to the demands made upon them. Their sisters also, the chattering, giggling girls upon whom we sometimes looked with frowns of disapproval are now standing by their brothers, fathers and sweét hearts and rendering services which call for courage, fine ability and devoted self sacrifice. “We blush now when we remember some of our self righteous. criticisms uttered just a few short years ago; we are looking at the youth of America and the United Nations with discerning eyes and remembering that they have beeu tried and not found wanting. ee ion ” __. These lads and lassies will be returning to civilian life; perhaps that.timie is not far distant and we shall find them ready and able to assume the full duties of citizenship and take their places in the pattern of peace which the world will then be weaving. the holocaust of war, will never go back to school and college; we shall have thousands of self made men and women in our national life and . hope they will not be discriminated against, After the experience of ,these. trying years of , conflict, they. will come home with a knowledge of world affairs gained at first hand, an appreciation of life and liberty, and a fixed determination to hold fast the peace they haye won. They will have an abundance of common sense in their knapsacks and . “hope that many of them will find their way into our legislative halls. That the affairs of state will be safe in their hands —who can doubt? Uncle Silas says: . “I don't think modern boys and girls day. I remember when . . was a youngster, some of jus, went out one Hallowe'en night to do things to signs. . When we came to Dr. Kernoodles office sign—well, we just painted out the n and put the dette p in its place.""—-AA. Merriam Conner. NO COMPROMISE WITH JAPS.. .. ; Lieuteriant Governor Fred Houser is concerned with the possible development of a movement in sections of the United States to make a compromise peace with Japan after victory over Germany, in return for the restoration of our seized possessions. He warns: Q ‘There has always been a feeling in the eastern part of the United States that Califrnia. has had a phobia against the Japanese. . predict that after Italy and Germany have been disposed of, a movement may start in the east and middle west to call off the war with Japan if they will give us back our possessions.” _ Te With Italy and Germany vanquished, the plight of Japan will be dark indeed. The robots of Tojo will confront the combined might of the United Nations arrayed against them in overwhelming force. *. Oe __Faced with this prospect, Japan obviously will try every diplomatic and propaganda wile:to avoid, crushing defeat and unconditional surrender. She will do everything possible to. retain enough power to make another start on aggression when she again feels the time propitious. Undoubtedly she will offer to disgorge some of the profits of her present venture. American ears will be assaulted with her specious pleas for peace, and the government of Tojo may even be sacrificed as evidenice of Japan's spiritual rebirth. But regardless of such overtures, the nature of the Japalta 4 anese military will remain unchanged, the llust for domination _ which led to the invasion of China and the attack at _ Pearl Harbor will not be eliminated by the kind of peace that Houser warns will be attempted. . ore ‘3 It did not take Pearl Harbor to awaken California to the menace of Japan. Years before the sneak attack on that, American bastion in the Pacific, California learned and warned _ that there could be no compromise with the Japanese buzz_saw without losing a finger or an arm. The United States lost more than that at Pearl Harbor. ~ The stake in the war with Japan is more than the return our seized possessions. It is more than vengeance for the urdered aviators who accompanied Doolittle on the raid on :yo. It is more than retribution for Pearl Harbor. he objective is lasting peace in the Pacific. And that can by. beating Japan to her knees, to uncondiurrender. i Gendt be accomplished by compromise. . ¥* ed been completely reversed.

GOOSE THAT LAYS COLDEN EGGS mre me LABOR POLICY MAY SOON BE . STRENGTHENED By JAMES PRESTON We may know during the‘ next ninety days whether there will be a strengthening of the national labor policy, since. during this time the War Labor Board will meet crucial tests. Some major problems facing the board are: curtailing the mounting number of strikes in war industry; the running battle.with John L. Lewis; and the renewal of several hundred collective bargaining contracts which expire on October 1. No matter how these issues are handled there are sure to be two groups in congress, one of which will press for repeal of the powers granied he board, and the other preépargreater authority, specifying in detail -the procedure and policies it must follow. The first group will. be carrying out the pro‘gram of the CIO, the AML, and the railroad brotherhoods; the second 'group is comprised of those who ori‘ginally brought about the SmithConally legislation’ on the grounds that there must be no work stoppages because of labor difficulties during the war. Leaders of the second group, feeling that the Smith-Conally. Bill does not go far enough, and leaves. too many loopholes, . favor such amendments as providing court review of WLB decision; election by secret ballot of all labor officials; penalizing of strikers without the government taking over the affected plants; and the registration and financial accounting of labor unions withthe NLRB. Although .organized labor leaders are opposed to all these proposals, which add up to a new national labor policy if enacted, many congressmen report after trips back home during the summer that the rank and file of union workers do not resent enactment of the Smith-Conally Bill. Anothér phase of the labor picture will be explored by the Special Smith (Committee of the House created to investigate government departments and bureaus to see if they are not exceeding the powers granted them by congress. The committee plans a thorough investigation of the WLB. A major source of speculation. at the capitol this week is the Lewis phase of the labor picture, The WLB fejected Mr. Lewis’ proposed settlement of the portal-to-portal pay isgue, and Secretary of the Interior Ickes returned fifty three coal mines to their owners. Observers? here remember that Mr. Lewis had previosly served notice that his miners would go back to the mines without a new contract only if the mines were in government custody, He now has a difficult choice to make. The WILB’s new penalty powers, conferred by the president’s order, mighi well receive their first test in this case. War Manpower Conimissioner Mc(Nutt announces that during the next ten months at least 2,600,000 persons must transfer from, less essenial jobs to munitions production or lto war useful jobs in community services. Also, the administration ‘s ready to abandon its so-called voluntary program of cooperation between employer and employee for control of manpower problems in favor of some type of compulsory system. or ! a Many scientists regard meteorites as fragments resulting directly from the creation of the solar system ‘approximately 4,600,000,000 years MISS TREMAINE TO TEACH IN SANTA [ROSA Miss Esther Trémaine leaves this week to take up work in the Santa Rosa Junior College where she will ‘teach science and matehatics. A group of soldiers, selected by the U. S. Army to receive college educations are attending the school. These men are also, taking army course writing and physical education preparatory to entering the university. Miss Tremaine taught in the local high school for several years. POST WAR PLAN MARINE A post war merchant marine. program, planned to serve our national defense at all times and return bene‘fits to our economic security, just been announced by the American .Merchant Marine Institute of New York City. Citing the need for a merchant marine fleet which will continue to be a vital arm of the Navy and Army and also “an effective instrument by which the United States will promote the stabilization of international conditions through a more extensive participation in world trade,’’ the Institute offered a ten-point. program of recommendations to postwar planning groups which are developing the shipping policy of the United States. : The program takes into consideration that this country will have a ‘preponderance of the world’s tonnage when ‘hostilities cease; that it will have a. well trained list of seaoing personnel for manning of the vessels and also a large number of privately owned companies which already have proved, themselves competent to operate all the increasing tonnage being turned out by our shipyards. It also sets forth the economic valu€ of our merchant marine in ‘terms of indirect employment lent farms and factories throughout the nation by establishment of new trade routes and resumption of the routes plied by our ships in pre-war days. The Institute, which is made up of
61 American flag steamship companies now operating most of the country’s merchant. fleet, urges the adoption of a national. post war program which would include the following policies: : : 1 Ultimate transfer of all government owned merchant ships to private ownership: 2 Retention of present maritime position by the prompt and progressive restoration of service on established routes, _ ; 2 3 StrengtHening the position of American lines in foreign trade by carrying greatly increased share of our foreign: commerce. 4°. Establishment of new foreign trade routes opened up by war dervelopments. 5 Modernization and expansion of the fleet in oastwise and intercoastal. trade. \ 6 Placing American vessels in former trade routes of Axis powers. 7 Participation in indirect and tramp shipping. 8 Reserving not less than 5,000,field and vegetable seeds have been eontributed by thousands of Americans through Russian War Relief, tone of “17 war related causes combined in. the California War Chest, to replant 350,000 acress of Russia’s scorched earth. The ield is estimated at approximately 3,000,000 ago. tons of foods . gee has = More than 3,500,000 pounds opt Calif. 000 tons of shipping as a pool for National defense punposes: 9 Opportunity of employment for seagoing personnel. 10 Desirability for collaboration with allied maritime nations in developing ‘the future shipping policy of this' country. The members of the Institute, -located on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts, Owned approximately 5,530,000 deadweight tons of freighters, passenger liners, tankers and colliers as of January 1, 1942. They are now operating an additional 8,940;000 tons of government owned vessels, most of which were built under the present emergency program. Frank J. Taylor, president of the Institute, in releasing the post war recommendations called attention to the fact that private steamship companies are now engaged upon the greatest transportation job in history. He cited in particular, one conclusion reached by the members: “Ships are weapons of war and instruments of peace, and’ every action taken by. our government representatives at any and all times should be consistent with the _ foregoing recommendations’’ of post war plans. pay more for a personal loan : than the — Bank of America . rate? thas UP 1) 12 MONTHS TO REPAY YOUR LOAN WANT Fg 4 ”” i EP) LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE moving in standard furniture van.
