betrayal by one He had considered a FRIEND
the taunts of the throng inspired by those who

WHY SECRECY FOR
DIES REPORT?
(Ontari0 Rep0rt)

Just why should Jerry Voorhis ask
that publication of the report of the
Dies investigating committee on commu-
nism in California be withheld from pub
lication? Why should the findings of
this committee be Soft-pedaled here when
they have been openly announced in
other parts of the country? Is Mr.. Voor-
his afraid that some of his friends and
supporters in Southern California will
be included in the list?
1t is rather weak excuse to say that
if communism is to be exposed. so must
fascism and naZiism 1t reminds us of
the naughty little boy who doesn't think
he should be punished unless all the
other kids in the neighborhood get it too
We nave always contended that any
one who is above reproach can stand a
fair investigation. If men, however
have record of espeusings doubtful
causes and of a preference for radical
company, certainly they must take the
consequences in suspicion of their in
tegrity. We are known by the company
we choose.
Just why are all these people so afraid
of being branded communists now when,
not too long ago, they were blatantly
proud of it? 1t seems to us that any
theology worthy of honest support is
worthy Of open allegiance.
The charge that there is much COM
munism in Hollywood is perhaps over
rated. Most of the "stars" who have
supported the communlstic meetings are
merely fools. Their political convictions
carry no weight because they are all
based on opportunism. Their reason for
espousing communism. while clothed in
orchids and fur coats, was craven fear
of some naZi movement against them.
They are blood relatives of the men who
talk socialism while privately living
we'll off the capitalistic gains Of their
fathers.
1t would seem mandatory that the
California communists be treated exact
ly as their brothers have been elsewhere
by the Dies committee, Mr.. Voorhis to
the contrary. False charges will not
stick and we have the right to know who
is under suspicion.

THE TRAGEDY OF YOUTH
IS UNEMPLOYMENT

Five million out of 21 million persons
in the United States broadly classified
as young people'-that is, between the
ages of 16 and 34-are out of work,
recent report to the American Vocational
Association in Grand Rapids, Mich, dis
closed. To this figure, it was added,
schools are annually adding 100000
year who will not find employment.
1t does no good to speak of initiative
most of them do not know the mean
ing Of it--or to rant against meehaniza-
tion Of industry-that is a bubble prick
ed long ago by employment figures. I'M
employment is the tragedy Of youth,
and behind the tragedy is the failure of
society to teach those youngsters what
they will not of their own volition learn,
the ability to work at trade.
OF those 100000 coming out of schools
each year to join the ranks of unem-
ployed, almost all are untitled to do
anything but general labor. They have
no special training. They have no parti-
cular idea what they want to do. They
have never fastened upon any ambition
nor decided upon any single kind of
work they want to do They want "a
job, and to them even "a job is a
vague thing.
Yet society cannot ignore them, for
their welfare is as important to the whole
structure as is the welfare of their more
fortunate, better trained brothers and
sisters. -
What, then, can society do about them?
Train them.
Two years ago at Providence, R. l.,
special class of 25 average boys-boys
who were headed toward the unemploy-
ed class upon graduation from school
were selected. Each, in social eX-
pertinent, received 40 hours of vocational
training directed at specific job. The
cost was $40 each, borne by the COM
munity The results, well-upon COM
pletion of the course each of the boys
went to work Immediately, at jobs rang
ing from $25 to S3S. A year later all
were still employed, and progressing
satisfactorily.
Possibly We are turning out too many
embryo white collar workers in our
schools-that is, boys who want office
jobs without being fitted for them, or
anything else Possibly our educational
system is still too classical, and not prac-
teal enough. A knowledge of Homers
Odyssey can make bricklayer lot
more interesting as a person, but it does
MT help him lay bricks. And he earns
living laying bricks.
More youngsters trained for particu-
lar trades would mean fewer youngsters
without jobs

BUSINESS WILL BE
BETTER IN 1910

The conservative, sometimes almost
reactionary Wall Street Journal, publi-
cation devoted to factual analysis of busi-

published multi-section issue devoted
to forecasts for the coming year and
reviews Of the last year in business and
industry.
All of the many pages are summed up
in one line Of type in the leading article
on Page One, written by B. H. McCor-
mack:
Business will be better in 1940.'
1t is the first time the Journal has
made such an unqualified prediction for
many months. Coming as it does from
such a cautious source, that prediction
should point the way for many business
men, large and small. in all parts of the
United States.

Willis Thorntons Editorial On:
Grandp pas Wink to the Labor Board

AT a time when Congress, father
OF the National Labor Relations
Eoard. is gravely sitting complaints
of the neighbors about its unruly
offspring, the board gets a broad
wink and a reassuring pat on the
back from the u. S. supreme court.
Grandpa, apparently, doesn't give a
hoot about what the neighbors are
saying.
The supreme court decided that
the labor board had attained the
age OF reason and that its actions
weren't subject TO review by the
courts. According to the rulings.
the N. L. r. b. IS in itself II supreme
court. after a fashion-a body judi
cially self-suficient. Congress made
it that way, the high court said,
and if Congress doesn't like its own
Imperial Valley press., 1940-01-10

handiWork, we'll
Specifically, the supreme court
held that no federal court may re-
view a board election order or a
board certification of union as a
collective bargaining agent-at least
not until a final ruling has been
handed down by the board.
II there was any doubt about
Congress revising the Wagner La
Dor Act during the present session,
there can be very little now. 1t is
hardly likely that Congress meant,
IN the first place. to create body
with as much power as has been
sanctioned for the N. L. r. b. Ger
tainly, the supreme court decision
will play an important part in any
consideration of amendments to the
Wagner Act.
For some time the N. L. r. b. has
been the target OF criticism by ele
ments in whose interests it was
established. Employers have always
felt jittery about it, and both the
c. l. O. and the A. F.. of L. agree
that the Wagner Act should be
changed, although they have some
what different ideas on what chan
geS should be made The current
House investigation of the N. l.. r.
B. was an outgroWth of these cri-
ticisms.
Early in the investigation, it de-
veloped that the executives of the
N L. r. 3. were not all one big.
happy family. Internal rivalrieS.
schisms. and accusations interfered
with the work OF the board.Dr.
William LeiserSon, latest member OF
the three-man board, found plenty
wrong with the setup when he
took office last summer. II appeared
more certain as the investigation
proceeded that changes were needed
III the law and that Congress would
make those changes. The supreme
court decision simply amplilieS these
sentiments.
To invest in any quasi judicial
body. no matter how noble its OBJ
jective, more power than that ac-
take. Even the federal district
courts decisions may be reviewed
by appellate courts. And the rulings
of the latter may be taken to the
supreme court for final judgment.
If the U. S. supreme court inter-
prets the boards powers to be as
inclusive as the decision indicates,
then the mistake must be rectified
by Congress. No group of three men
should have that much power.
The decision demonstrates the re-
quirement for broad congressional
review of the entire labor act. The
House committees investigation will
doubtless produce new possibilities
for revision. Whatever is done fin
ally to the act should be done with
a view toward serving the best in
terests of labor and employer alike.

a hammer as l walked to the piano.
Five minutes later I was terrified to
learn that I had passed the test.

an assigned song.
Out of my dark cloud a ray of
hope broke through. I had often
told stories TO groups who showed

AT last the dreaded day arrived
I had worked a song into an orr
ginal story in such a way that the
students learned it without realiz-
ing whether I was a good singer or
not.
THE Joy of getting that over with
was Short-lived The teacher praised
my accomplishment and presented
the nightmare OF asking me TO teach
another song. I did not want to use
the same method the second time
Drawing was a hobby I had been
keeping in the background. I would
depend OH it now. 1 was soon able
to swing lines in rythm to a milk

drawn on the blackboard by the
time the song was finished. / knew
I could plan a lesson around this
drawing that would hide my voice

sang TO myself. A voice said Very
good. Let me see you draw jar

Il strange woman. After quick
sketch of the jardiniere, she asked
me to draw stone fireplace. felt
I needed that precious time too
much TO waste it drawing pictures
for a stranger, but I did as she re-
uuested Then she told me she was
there TO coach the senior play. She
explained that the artist who was
TO paint the scenery was i'll. They
were planning to engage another,
but she wanted me TO try for the
job by painting small pictures OF
some OF the things that we're to
materialize later in larger proper
tions. In two days. l went to work
on my first job.
"Since then, I have received a
diploma from one of our outstand-

points; put your weak ones in the
background; add determination, po-
liteness, and faith in yourself"
