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.

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.

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.

MISS TREMAINE TO TEACH IN

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,

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.
