|A.F.L. Strikers Pledge
To Tie Up Three Ports
BY the Assoc ciated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Sept. 9.-With II ships
lying idle in four Puget Sound ports,
American Federation of Labor long
shoremen announced their deter
mination today to hold fast" in
their three-port strike.
Harry Lundeberg of San Fran
cisco, secretary of the Sailors Union
of the Pacific, told a mass meeting
in Tacoma yesterday that the
sailors would tie up any ship in
any port on the Pacific Coast that
tried to handle "hot cargo" con-
signed to the three struck ports.
The meeting was attended by
longshoremen from Tacoma, Port
Angeles and Anacortes.
Lundeberg, also acting president
Of the Seafarers' International
Union. East and Gulf Coast A. F. L.
organization, said similar support
would be given by that union.
The A. F. L. longshoremen struck
for an agreement to cover the three
ports where, they have jurisdiction.
A 1888 National Labor Relations
Board decision gave the Congress
of Industrial Organizations Long
shoremen's Union bargaining rights
for the entire Pacific Coast.

Psychologists May Revise
Theory on Causes of War
Present Conflict Upsets Thesis of State
AS Father Surrogate, Association Holds

unhappy homes where the father
was a tyrant. Whatever their per-
sonal Illustration, they hate the par
ent so much that they can find no
satisfaction in identifying them
selves in later life with an image of
him, the all-powerful nation.
Frustration Comes First.
II this Is actually true, said DIR.
Otto Klineberg of Columbia Univer-
sity, in criticizing the report, one
way to bring about peace on earth
would be to make all homes un-
happy for children.
Identification with the state it.
self Is not enough, the report
stressed. There is mechanism, re-
Gently uncovered by psychologists
among apes, children and inmates
OF insane asylums. First comes frus-
tration. One cannot get what one
wants and recognizes the useless
ness of struggling for it. But the
Illustration has generated a lot of
emotional energy which has to have
an outlet. A man is mad but real
izes the man he is mad at can whip
him easily. He can restore his self
respect by attacking some weaker
individual, or ganging up with
others to do so. This the psycholo-
gists term the "scrapegoat mechan-
ism"
Now, in modern society, they
stressed, nearly everybody is frus-
trated, primarily because somebody
else is doing better. If everybody
had about the same income ard the
same social position, they pointed
out, the cause of this Illustration
would disappear while individual
initiative need not disappear be-
cause people could take pride in
their work rather than their money
or their clothes.
AS it is, the average American
knows there isn't much he can do
about it. He wants to beat up the
boss whom he feels has unjustly
gotten better break in life. He
knows that if he does he will prob
ably lose his job. So he transfers
his hatred of his fellowman to some
other state which, as a member of
nation, he thinks he can whip.
The idea may be Illogical. the
psychologists pointed out, but it is
apparently the deepest rooted in
human nature and in the apes be-
fore man. The best way to circum-
vent it, the committee making the
study believes, is to equalize in
comes. This will have to be done
the world over, they think, if there
Is to be any peace.

inject to Decide
IWho Rules Waves

New strategy in the battle to de-
termine who rules the waves (cro-
quignole) will be mapped when the
militant members of the Washing
ton Hairdressers and Cosmetologists
Association, Inc, assemble in con-
clave tonight.
The local group has taken its
stand behind battery of permanent
wave machines. passed out the thin
ming shears and dry powder and
defied the efforts Of any one to COL
lect license fee from them for the
croquignole wave.
The battle of the waves began
some years ago, officials OF the local
association say, when the Philad Co.
announced it had bought patent
rights to the croquignole wave. The
company said shops using this meth
cd would have to buy license.
The national hairdressers' organi-
zation advised its members not to
pay and the District group did the
same. Then legal action began. A
suit Is now pending in Delaware,
brought by the local and national
associations against the Philad Co.,
seeking to restrain the company
from demanding license fees.
District hairdressers take the po-
sition that the croquignole wave-a
method of giving a permanent wave
by starting from the ends of the
hair-haS been used back as far as
the time of Cleopatra.
At a meeting to be held in the
May ynower Hotel at 9 o'clock tonight
the District association is going to
review the history Of the case and
map its strategy for the next move

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Sept. g.
American psychologists have just
finished psychoanalyZing war.
They find-or thought they had
found until the world blew up under
their feet year ago-that 1T was
due primarily to two ajor factors
the state as the father surrogate
and the sublimation of frustrated
lives into aggression against scape-
goats.
A combination of studies bearing
on the roots of war was carried out
by the Society for Psychological
Study of Social Problems, a member
group of the American Psychological
Association. They reported their
findings. not yet published, to the
association here and some of their
most cherished theories were roughly
handled.
The trouble was that they had to
be objective and nobody is very OBJ
jective about war these days.
First. they found the roots of war
in the individual. If men refused to
fight obviously there could be no
wars. Extensive queStionnaires, sent
out before the start of the present
conflict, revealed that nearly every
body in the United States from
pacifist religious groups to major
generals were almost equally op-
posed to war. The basic factor in
volved, the studies showed, was ma
fiA1ao1ie.,z oe&n
governments and that the greatest
force making against war was inter-
nationaiiSm.
Nationalism as 1t was explained
to the association by DR.. Ross
Stanger of Dartmouth College who
presented the findings of the COM
mittee, appears to be the "emo-
tional identification of ones frus-
trated ego with ones own nation. "
Most persons, it was explained, are
frustrated in life. They can, to some
extent, justify to themselves their
own failures as individuals by pride
IN the fact that they are parts of
a very great, powerful whole. Mr..
Milktoast who personally wouldnt t
hurt a flea and would run from his
shadow becomes quite aggressive as
an American, a part of something
which can whip the world"
1t is, it was pointed out, like the
little boy boaSting that my father
can lick your father" Actually, the
committees report stresses, the
state takes the place of the father
when the greatness of the real
father diminishes as one reaches
adult life. One of the studies showed
that the most extreme patriots were
persons who came from happy
homes where the father had been an
object of devotion. Internationalists
and radicals of various kinds, the
study showed, usually came from
