RUSSIA'S ULTIMATE GOAL

Soviet Russia has no intention of
imperiling Finland's independence and
does not want to interfere with her
internal affairs" Molotov, Russian
premier, said.
Well, pin that in your hat. There
may be occasion to refer to it.
Put along with it this from Berlin:
"There is an understanding here of
the Russian need to secure an un-
menaced route to the Baltic Sea-"
The Russian army is not equipped
for any "Blitzkrieg." They have
neither the mechanical traditions nor
the skill, nor the discipline of the
Germans. But they do have what
Russia has always had: an immense
horde, with some modern trappings,
and a confused use of modern Ian
guage in military and mechanical
connections.
They would make a bloody mess of

quency during the benefit quarter to
establish an average weekly wage by
his method, Administrator Atkinson
has ruled that the actual earnings of
the worker, arrived at by dividing
his total earnings by the number of
weeks worked, would be used as the
basis of benefits.
Application of this arbitrary and
confusing rule, unfair to both worker
and employer, is without question re-
sponsible for appeals of workers who
have found that their "full-time" wage
reported by their employer has been
ignored, resulting in a lower benefit,
and complaint of groups of workers

tion who have received variable bene-
fit amounts.

it, but they could, by persistence, push
across the Scandinavian peninsula to
the Atlantic coast The mountainous
country would make it difficult and
slow; but they are slow people, and
terribly persistent. They hate Eng
land. Together with Germany, whose
logical drive is through Holland and
Belgium, they may end the era of
modern civilization in Western Eu-
rope, by an invasion of the tight
little isle"
In that case, Canada might become
the new headquarters of the British
Empire. And the foreign policy of
the United States would have to deal
with a brand new set of facts and
neighbors.
None of this is rational-but neither
is the war which Finland is making
against Soviet Russia" 1t is sort
of Alice in Wonderland, with Satan
handling it as personally conducted
affair.

MAY TO NOVEMBER
EMPLOYMENT IS UP

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Pre-
liminary Department of Labor figures
show gain in factory employment
of $4,000 in the period from mid
October to mid November, Secretary
of Labor Perkins reported.
The increase, Miss Perkins said,
was largely in steel, cotton textiles,
electric machinery, aircraft construc-
tion and slaughtering. Normally, she
said, seasonal employment declines in
the canning and apparel industries,
resulting in a loss of approximately
1876, 900 jobs in the period.
Non agricultural employment in
the United States, the secretary said,
has increased by 100000 from May
to November. The increase in mid
November, she added, was smaller
than those which occurred between
| August and September and Septem-
ber- October but was at a greater rate
than in any month during the period
of rising employment of 1886 to 1887
except in December, 1886.
| Increases in aircraft construction
and steel, Miss Perkins said, probably
were due to domestic needs and the
national defense program and not wal
orders. She said the European wal
is still too recent to be reflected il
increased industrial orders.

YOUTH PLACEMENT
FIGURES SHOW GAIN

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) Place
ments of youth in private industry
during October, 1889, through the
junior placement services operated by
the National Youth Administration in
cooperation with state employment
services, showed a rs per cent in
crease over the corresponding month
last year, Aubrey Williams, N. Y. A.
administrator, announces.
During October, 1,441 placements
were made; 24,O01 new applicants
registered with junior placement serv-
ices; 80,589 interviews were held; and
3,420 employers were visited by en-
ployment counselors and solicited for
jobs.
Since the establishment of these
services in March, 1886, 599,249 new
young people registered; 1,973,288 in
terviews were held; 242,016 place
ments in private industry were made
and 118,400 employers were solicited
for jobs.

ADMINISTERING LABOR
LEGISLATION

The American Federationist, Off
cial magazine of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, points out that per-
sons who know labor problems and
the labor movement are essential to
good administration of labor laws.
Mere theorists will not do, it shows.
Necessarily the training, the un-
derstanding and the personalities of
those charged with such administra-
ton, have much to do with the results
obtained" it says
Administration of labor laws, the
federationist further points out, has
suffered seriously" because in many
cases persons appointed as admins
traitors have had no practical expert
ence in labor problems or the conduct
of unions. In other cases they have
been Communists OF other radicals
'for whom their jobs are only oppor-
tunities to serve their revolutionary
causes" the magazine remarks.
The Federationist has touched on
serious problem, one which needs to
be called frequently to the attention
of the nation.

SHELTER FOR MAGMA
CARTA
(From the New York Times)


For the duration of the war the
Lincoln Cathedral transcript of Magma
Carta, which thrilled so many millions
in the British Pavilion at the World S
Fair, will be guarded in our national
Library of Congress at Washington.
This precious relic of the Anglo Saxon
race, the parent cell through which
our liberties have been transmitted
into the living body of democratic
law, has been placed appropriately
among the archives which hold our
own precious relics, the Constitution
of the United States and the Declara-
tion of Independence.
1t is long way from Runnymede
to the totalitarian assault on the or
dered freedom which Magma Carta
foreshadowed. 1t has taken many
centuries to establish the represent
ative government of free men now
challenged once again Wherever
Magma Carta rests, wherever it is ac-
cepted as the foundation stone of the
slowly built wall against anarchy and
despotism alike, is strong citadel
1t could not be sheltered in stoute1
stronghold than on the hill where oul
Capitol stands and from which oul
laws descend. Magma Carta, datec
A. D. 1915, and the latest law which
comes from Congress are of the same
fabric.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

mitted. He agreed that in some in
dustrial factories the 'black-out" in
terfered with ventilation, but thought
that this could be overcome by appro-
pirate means.
Representative of docks, ship
building, cotton textiles, the pottery
and printing industries themselves
pressed the Home Secretary, urging
that the half after sunset
would not result in any glow in the
sky and would enable the working
week to be arranged without invoking
Sunday labor. The impossibility OF
weaving colored yarn by artificial
light, the effect of working young
women and girls in the darkness, the
effect of gasoline rationing upon the
bus services, were mentioned.
! In reply Sir John Anderson said al
first glance it did seem as if it were
a reasonable proposition to impose
lighting restrictions half an houl
after sunset, but the air staff reported
that this particular time was yer!
dangerous.
On behalf of the Trades Union Con
gress General Council, Sir Waite
Citrine agreed that there was a lin
tied choice in the matter, but he re
minded the Home Secretary that in
dustry could not produce material
for the prosecution of the war withou
some relaxation. Other members o
the General Council stressed the et
feet of the "black-out" on the VENT
lation of factories, sugar beet fac
tories, etc.
The meeting ended with the int
, nation from the Home Secretary ths

gaining agent rights for employees of
two companies, one in Cleveland and
the other in Sandusky, in recent cleo
tions conducted by representatives. of
the National Labor Relations Board.
Employees of the Cleveland Hard
ware and Forging Company gave the
A. F. of L. union a 3-to-1 majority
vote, while workers at the Brightman
Nut Manufacturing Company, San
dusky, favored the A. F. of L. over
the G. |. 0. as their representative.

." Where with our
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Imagine country in which there
was no youth. This might not be one
in which there were no people who
had lived comparatively short por-
tion of their earthly space. 1t might
be one in which the spirit of youth,
which is enthusiasm, daring, idealism
and, above all, undisillusioned hope,
had been killed. 1t wouldn't be much
of country.
This is SO true that the inexorable
laws of nature unhesitatingly sacri-
flee the old for the new generation.
Things just do not go on, with
dinosaurs or men, unless the
young generation gets the best of
the breaks.
But one of the first fiurries of re-
viving business was a clamor for
skilled workers.
A quarter of million youngsters
coming onto the "labor market" each
year and not enough trained workers
to fill even the preliminary expansions
of industrial activity. At least, sc
some have claimed.
And other reports say that big
percentage of the idle youth are un
employable, from physical by-products
of undernourished and hopeless un
employment, by lack of training, OF
training in the wrong way or by in
evitable loss of morale.
Light is thrown on the situation By
a sample in Philadelphia. According
to a survey made there, it appears
that about one-half of the high schoo
graduates of 1896 have succeeded il
| the ensuing two years, in getting
some kind of an economic hold.
Of the remainder, 36 per cent ar
still seeking jobs. The rest are ap
parently back at school, marking
time. Or they have given up. o.
something else has happened to them
| Of those who had been successful
in getting some kind of job, only 81
| per cent of those vocationally, in othe
words, specially trained, were receiv
ing more than SIS per week.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1939-12-08

Security upon which to found a
family, resources for what is called
the "better life," on SIS per week.
More and more good people are
thinking and talking and working
with this problem. More and more
are coming out courageously, refusing
longer to blink facts.
More and more it is being borne in
on those who feel realization and re-
sponsibility that the failures of today
in this field cannot be repaired in the
future. Whatever is done of injustice
to the youngsters now coming up will
leave it's traces on the future of this
nation to the end of time.
Each generation, as it achieves ma
turity and begins to see the end of
it's own road, is prone to vaporize a
great deal about handing on the
torch"
In this case, we had better see
that the said torch is not the sooty,
smelly and very dimly lit smudge
we are now carrying.
AS is customary, with social prob
lens, the awakening to this grim fact
seems to be belated but there are in
dications that it is at hand
But, as is again the customary
thing, it will have to be exten-
sively vocalized and discussed be-
fore action can be had
Parents, and all others should per
form at least the service of seeing
that there is plenty said about tn,
present situation and the prospect
of those who will shortly have to tax,
over the running of affairs

Archbishop Urges End
To Internal Labor Split

New Orleans (ILNS) - Speaking
before the New Orleans Trades and
Labor Council, Archbishop Joseph F..
Rummel expressed the hope that the
present internal struggle in the ranks
of labor would be brought to an early
end and that labor factions would CO.
operate to take advantage of their
opportunities. In this age, he said,
there is a great opportunity for unfit
cation of labor which is now being
dissipated by the present lack of unity.

Death from the sky menaces no
American workers. In European ma
tions at war, the menace is ever pres
ent and precautions against alrplane
bombing attacks are in themselves a
serious nuisance and even grave evil
in many cases. What the "black-out," !"
one of the chief defenses against sue
cessful bombing attacks at night
means in the way of difficulties for
labor and industry is indicated by a
recent discussion of the subject be-
tween representatives of British or
ganized labor and government Off
cials.
Industrial ill-effects of the "black-
out" particularly as regards ventlla-
ton. eyesight and output, were taken
up with the Home Secretary, Sir John
Anderson, by a delegation from the
Trades Union Congress General Coun-
ell, headed by Sir Walter Citrine, gen.
eral secretary. Representatives OF
British industry and commerce were
also present.
The Home Secretary agreed tha'
the "black- out" was nuisance, bu
was based upon strategic reasons. Tbs
air staff naturally wanted any attack
ing airplanes to be at maximum dis
advantage. The searchlight system
only worked to the fullest advantage
in complete darkness. The principa
argument against switching out light
ing by means of a master switch wa
that in most of the towns street light
ing was not on an independent Gil
cult, he said.
From the industrial point of vieN
some relaxation had to be given t
the switching yards of railways an
in docks where diffused light had bee
substituted for direct lighting, he ad
