people "Mahatma" Gandhi; the young

ing Gandhi, and if he had died in his
protest fast, the odds are that no pru-
dent agent would have written a policy
on the despot.
And this is the sixth time that Gan
dhi has tasted some government into
yielding to his demands. They are al.
ways moderate demands j but six
times in his life, Gandhi in that way
has backed some government in India
from the line which it has proposed
to take.
1t wouldn't work here. They'd take
Gandhi to a hospital and feed hin
through a tube. But in India, time
after time, it has worked.

greatly to the supply of the labor
market. Also, half the adult male
Jews in Germany were swept into con
centration camps last November, wher
that Nazi attache was killed by g
crazy Jewish boy in Paris; and the
diet and treatment in a concentration
camp do not develop good workers
What Germany is really doing is tt
advertise to the world that she is max
ing arms so fast that she hasn't mer
enough to man her factories-anothel
threat, like the one she worked al
Munich.
But the billion marks of vouchers
doing duty for money tends strongl!
to verify the threat. Germany's liv
ing standards are certainly not high
enough to demand such a pace. Gen
Goering undoubtedly told a good dea
of truth when he said that Germany
was arming at pace never before
seen. But will she be able to take ul
these vouchers by bluffng other peo
pies out of their property-or by tax
ing it in war?

COME OUT OF THE TRENCHES!
(From Editor and Publisher)

tfrOm EdltOf ana PuDllSher)
At the risk Of being told to go away
and sit down, we would like to make
the simple plea to newspaper special
writer's and columnists, radio commen-
tators and news experts, perspiring
propagandists and jaw-weary politi-
clans, to come out of the trenches for
q little while and drop back to rest
camp.
1t has been bitter battle ever since
the Munich pact, and we have followed
nearly every word of it with the in
dignation and revulsion which, no
doubt, almost every American feels.
But spring is drawing near, and we
are growing little tired emotionally.
The dictators are still there and the
democracies still stand. The kickoff
may not take place until after the fall
practice season.
Until it does we hope to give our
eyes and ears a little rest. We may
need 'em later.

OREGON ANTI-INION LAW

WHEN the anti-unon interests of Oregon in the
" last general election secured approval Of al
initiative petition to limit the rights of workers
in labor controversies, they considered the issue
too hastily to realize the complications involved
There has been built up a considerable body Of fed
eral and state labor law, assuring rights to wage
earners New measures must be drafted and IN
terpreted with reference to the existing lega
structure.
