ned by American crews. this pro-
cedure will put American ships in
dangerous waters where attacks
will be given publicity that may
inflame public opinion.
1t will be recalled that the
original proposal was to bar
American shipping from the ports
of belligerents and that this re-
striction was altered to permit
sailings except in the war zone
itself. This concession to the in
terests of ship owners and COM
mercial interests left the way
open for our ships to go to many
ports of belligerent nations but
removed from major war activi-
ties. The entire affair illustrates
the difficulty of framing legis-
lation alright to violations of the
spirit, if not the letter, of the
law. ..
Information collected in the
interest of national defense re-
veals that the Army and the
Navy, the industrial Northeast, a
few Middle Western States, and
the aircraft plants of California
and Washington, will be the chief
financial beneficiaries of war or
ders from Europe and also from
the sums being spent by this ma
ton for national defense. In an
industrial triangle, formed by
Pittsburgh, Wilmington, Della
ware and Boston, are located the
plants which provide nearly two
, thirds of the munitions that
would be required if this country
becomes involved in war. Two
thirds of the planes would be
made on the Pacific Coast, on the
basis of present activity, but the
engines would be manufactured
chiefly in the East. The concen-
tration of industrial plants upon
which the national defense de-
ponds is not altogether desirable
but there are extreme difficult
ties involved in any plan to scat
ter them. Because of its import
ace in war times, the industrial
area will be one of the chief con-
Germs of our defense plans.

Pope Plus Points
Way Back 10 Peace
Through Religion
AssuiIs Arm of Violence
As Cause of Dull
Flashes of War;
BY the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, April 10.-Pope
Plus XII has pointed the way for
q warlike world back to the path
Of peace through a return to the
practice of religion.
In an Easter sermon four weeks
after his coronation, the pontiff
called for return to the King
of Peace" and affirmed "He will give
us-as he has promiSed-peace."
From his own sovereign state in
side the Kingdom Of Italy, which
at that moment was pressing its
conquest of little Albania to COM
pletion, the Pope referred to the
"arm of violence" as cause OF
dull flashes Of war"
How may peace be had" his
holiness asked. 'if, unfortunately
even among nations pactS
solemnly sanctioned and the plight
ed word have lost their security
and value which are indispensable
bases of reciprocal confidence, and
without which ardently desired dis
armament, material and moral, be-
comes with each passing day less
possible of realization?"
After picturing the sad spectacle"
of world in arms, the Holy Father
offered glowing picture of an era
of peace through religion.
ITO this ineXhauStible fount of
pardon and of peace" he said. 1.-The
church in the holy days of Easter

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 10
The general opinion prevailing
among Democratic leaders in the
State capital today was that Gov.
Henry Horner probably would pick a
Chicagoan to succeed Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, who died in Wash

Illinois statutes provide that the
Governor appoint a successor who
will serve until the next congress

A Senator will be elected then to fill
the two-year vacancy until the reg

Mine WORKERS
ARE CRITICIZED

Charleston, w. Va. (ILNS).-
ers of the United Mine Workers of
America, c. |. o. affiliate, were criti-
cized by Barney Flaherty, director of
the competing Progressive Miners of
America, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, for asking the
state of West Virginia to grant re-
lief to miners idle as a result of the
breakdown in contract negotiations
between the U. M. w. A. and btu
minous coal operators.
Flaherty asked why the U. NJ. w. A.
should have to ask for relief in view
of the $1,080,000 which he said had
been collected as the locals share of
union dues in the last six years He
contended such dues should have been
used as relief for idle miners and their
families.
The State Department of Public AS
sistance and Gov. Homer A. Holt have
refused state relief to the miners be-
cause relief funds are low.
Flaherty said that, if there were
100000 U. NJ w. A. members in the
state as claimed, dues collections
would amount to 100000 a month
He contended that Is per cent Of dues
should be kept by locals for relief of
members during a labor crisis.
West Virginia business men, nor
mally dependent upon a $2,585, ,00C
weekly mine payroll to bolster their
trade, feared that a prolonged shut
down of mines would cause economic
disaster.

w. P. A. JOKES
(From the Hartford Courant,
Hartford, Comm

The American Federation of Actors
has announced a positive prohibition
against jokes directed by its members
against the w. P. A and its employees
The regulation was hardly necessary;
one w. P. A. joke is very much like
another, and the main point on which
they are based-slow motion-is by
this time almost as stale as "Who
was the lady | seen you with last
night?" There was a time when the
concept of man resting on a shovel
raised laughter; today it is good only
for yawn.
But it is not only over familiarity
that has dulled the point of the W.P.A.
joke. Hartford, at least, has had one
exciting demonstration of the fact
that w. P. A. employees can work
amazingly well when their hearts are
in their jobs. Last September when
the flood waters threatened to repeat
the disaster of 1886, hundreds-at
times, thousands-of w. P. A. work
ers shaved day and night to build the
sandbag dixie along Sheldon Street
and Van Dyke Avenue that kept the
flood out of the city. No one who
saw the devoted work by the w. P. A.
men during those when no one knew
whether or not the river could be held
back can smile at even the freshest
gag concerning the inertia of the en-
ployes of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration.

RECEIPTS FOR PAYMENTS

Will the Social Security Act be
amended SO as to give each worker a
receipt for everything paid for him
toward old age and unemployment
benefts-or not? No one knows. All
labor wants this; and the more urg-
emily labor expresses its wishes, the
better. But no decision seems to have
been reached yet.
Mr.. Altmeyer, chairman of the So
cial Security Board, has at least twice
gone out of his way to suggest that
this way of insuring the workers be
adopted. But it has not been.
William Green, president of the A.
F. of L., has written: Thousands of
wage earners have not in their pos
session any evidence indicating their
equities in old age pensions" And
the thousands, possibly millions, re-
main in just the same fix as before
The required amendment has been
offered to the Security Act; but it is
not being pushed. Undoubtedly, it's
passage would cause a little trouble
and bother. But it is needed.

LET'S COUNT OUR
MERCIES
(From the Washington Daily News)

(From the Washington Daily News)
The constant drumming of war news
from abroad has got this country into
a state of suspense that we think is
much out of focus. Business, already
bad because of domestic reasons, is
getting rapidly worse because of the
foreign crises. The stock market
keeps dropping, trade is off, and a
general condition of timidity seems to
be growing. A sort of ''it's inevitable
and we're bound to get into it" psy-
chology has developed, defeatist and
dangerous.
While all this is evolving we ought
instead to be going ahead and selling
our waffle irons. Certainly, if inter-
national trouble should come, nothing
could be worse than for us all to be
caught with economic anemia. A re-
covered prosperity, combined with a
reasonable degree of harmony among
all elements in our country, would
constitute weapon of defense bigger
than the biggest navy we could build.
Those should be our immediate and
our constant aims.
We just are not realizing how rela-
lively fortunate we are. Apparently
we have forgotten that more than
5000 miles of ocean still separate US
from invasion; that, with all our de-
preston troubles, we are yet the rich
est nation in the world and the best
equipped, with natural resources, man
power, inventive genius and produc-
tive capacity, to take care OF ourselves
in any sort of clinch. 1t would do US
all good if we could spend few days
in London, for example, among the
| gas masks and the bomb shelters ane
the trenches they have dug in tbs
parks. and see what it really is to have
something to be scared about.
