pany, but there is reason to believe
that power failures such as that of
Thursday night might have been
prevented by the exercise of reason
able foresight.
Officials of the company said that
the new power plant, construction
of which was started last January,
would more than double the cleo
trical output of existing generating
facilities. But in view of the fact
that communities in Arlington and
Fairfax Counties, as well as the city
of Alexandria, have been growing
RAPIDLY for a number of years, the
need for additional power facilities
might have been anticipated long
before last January.
1t is important to remember that
most of the new homes being built
in suburban territories require an
uninterrupted supply of electricity
for light, heat and cooking. And the
residents of these areas have a right
to expect and should receive serv-
ice commensurate with the rates
charged them.

Labor and Defense

A reaSSuring note is contained in
the statement of Assistant Secretary
of War Patterson that arbitrary linn
itation on hours of work will not be
permitted to slow the defense pro-
gram.
Mr.. Patterson and other officials
recognize the necessity of maintain
ing existing labor standards through
out the field of production, but there
should be no difficulty in reconciling
this aim with the demand for speed,
and the policy outlined by the As
siStant Secretary is designed to &C
complish that objective.
An eight-hour day and forty-hour
week is the basic labor standard,
with overtime rates applying when
this schedule is exceeded, and the
Defense Commission has urged "rea-
sonable efforts" to avoid exceeding
the forty-hour maximum. AS Mr..
Patterson points out, it frequently
is possible to comply with this rec
ommendation in acquiring such sup
plies as shoes and clothing, for ex-
ample, where there is great deal
of unemployed labor, as well as I'M
used factory capacity. When facili-
ties are limited, however, and skilled
labor is scare, condition that is
encountered in the procurement OF
planes, tanks, guns and ammunition,
the department has no other alter
native than to extract the fullest
measure of productive capacity. In
consequence, all arSenalS and many
airplane factories are working three
shifts, six days week, on an over
time basis, and the cantonment con-
struction program also is being
pushed to the limit.
In discussing the course the de-
partment is pursuing, Mr.. Patterson
emphasized the whole-hearted CO.
operation that is being received from
labor, fact that is self evident when
the record to date is considered. 1t
is no less clear that employers have
been doing their share. There is
one bad spot right now on the Pacific
Coast, where a strike is threatened
over wages at the Vultee Aircraft
Company. Should that strike be
called, it might spread to other
plants in Southern California, but
officials are hopeful of heading off
such a tie-up.
1t would be unfortunate if even a
temporary stoppage of work were
permitted to develop in this vital
sector which accounts for about
eighty per cent of the total aircraft
output of the country, and there will
be no stoppage if the diSputants
have due regard for a mutual obliga-
ton to effect peaceful adjustment.

Electoral COLLEGE,

Whether or not the electoral col
lege provided by the elemental char
ter of American democracy should be
abolished may be a problem for de-
bate, but there can he little if any
question about the purposes for
which it was devised.
The trainers of the Constitution
were not altogether confident that
the populace would be able to meet
the requirements of untrammeled
citizenship. Because they feared that
the scattered and isolated COM
munities of the Federal Union could
not be brought into an effective in
tellectual harmony regarding po-
tential candidates and platforms,
they rejected a proposal for the pop
ular election of the President. Yet
they recognized the right-and the
duty!-of the inhabitants of the sew
eral States to participate in the
choice of national leader. The gap
between the two conceptions finally
was bridged, as the Constitutional
Convention was persuaded to believe,
by STIMULATING that a number of Sc
lected electors should assemble in
each sovereign commonwealth to
vote for two persons" AS many in
dividuals as were members of Con-
gress should be chosen for this func-
ton
But there was confusion about
what procedure the electors should
follow. Section 2 Article II required
them to make list of all persons
voted for, and of the number of votes
for each; which list they shall sign
and certify, and transmit sealed to
the seat of government of the United
States, directed to the President of
the Senate" Presumably, it was ex-
pected that 1.-The electoral balloting
would usually fail Of the majority re-
quired for any election, In which
case the House of Representatives,
with each State casting a single vote,
would choose the President, and the
Senate the Vice President.
Careful thought of the meaning
of the electoral college, therefore,
prompts the notion that the trainers
of the Constitution really looked
upon the citizens appointed in each
State, as nominators of the Presi-
dent. In 1895 the electoral votes were
distributed among thirteen nominees,
but contrary to the expectations of
the fathers, political parties were

that they are more ready to talk about
their deeper religious feelings than they
were in other years. The very pressures

to think of life's truer meaning. The in
adequacy of many of the schemes and

what its meaning, what its purpose? De-

A question frequently asked today is:
HAS religion and the devotional spirit

years of Christian endeavor must be

and consecrated natives are prepared to
carry on.
These and many other analogous con-
ditions are cited as the evidence of re-

certain influences, some of them COM

changed conditions in our social and eco

the rise or decline of religion Is dis

professional judgment, it is my convic-
ton that our hectic age has seen little
impairment of the churchs. influence,
no marked or appreciate abatement of
interest in the religious spirit. One
modern critic of the church affiirms that
its message today is weak and insipid

Power Failure

1t is to be hoped that officials OF
the Virginia Public Service Company
are correct in their prediction that
completion of new power plant in
Alexandria will put an end to such
power failures as that which de-
prived thousands of homes in nearby
Virginia of electricity Thursday
night.
This failure, while the most Seri-
Gus, is by no means the first that pa
irons of the public utility concern
have experienced. On number of
occasions in the past residents in the
area supplied with power by Virginia
Public Service have found themselves
without electricity for light, heat or
cooking facilities. These breakdowns
in service presumably have been due
to variety of causes, some undoubt-

There is broad reason for these large
profits. OF the approximately 10000
textile workers in Japan, about 90 per
cent are girls from the over-crowded
agricultural regions, and their average
working day is approximately 10 hours.
The abundant supply of labor and lack
of labor legislation determine the wage
scale. In terms of American money,
wages range from 81 to AZ cents per
day. Contrary to the general rule in
most other countries cheap labor in
Japan's textile industry and high eff
cheney go hand in hand. With prac-
tically no outlook for higher wages, but
with abundant evidence that Japanese
efficiency has not reached its high peak,
textile-producing countries fear even
greater competition.
The United States meets It's keenest
competition with Japanese textiles in
the Latin American countries. For ex-
ample, in 1929, textile mills of this coun-
try sold 175,000 900 yards of cotton cloth
to these Latin American countries,
against Japan's sales of 100000 yards.
BY 1895 these sales had dropped to
81 100000 yards for the United States,
but had increased to more than 177oo0,-
900 for Japan. The picture since then
has not materially altered.
In these times when war is a daily
theme it is frequently mentioned that
the United States might be headed
toward conflict with Japan. Even the
pessimist hopes this will never be the
case, but the cold facts are that this and
many other countries are in an economic
war with Japan. The textile field Is
only single illustration.
