SPEAKING OF SERVICE
10 THE COMMUNITY

Services performed by newspapers for
the communities in which they are print
ed are being highlighted this week at
New York conventions of the National
Newspaper Publishers association and
other groups-services ranging all the
way from finding homes for stray cats
to purging cities of grating politicians.
But there is one newspaper service
to the nation that is so traditional it has
been overlooked.
Next November you will know a few
hours after polls close in all parts of the
United States who has been elected pres
ident You will know because the news
papers make that knowledge available
9 to you. Without them. it would be more
than a month after election before you
could find out who had been elected.
There is no officially constituted
agency in the United States to gather
election returns. The newspapers are
the only ones who do it on thorough
scale. Without them, you would have to
wait a week in each county i'll the United
States-for the boards of supervisors
5 to make their canvass of ballots-betore
you would find out how your own coun-
ty voted Then you'd have to wait for
total compilation at the state capital to
find out how your state voted. mat
would take another week to two weeks.
Still later-from three to four weeks,
the national compilation would be made
at Washington, and the final result
would be available-at long last.
As it is the newspapers put their men
out, thousands of them working at fever
ish speed from California to Maine, visit
ing precincts, tabulating totals, an
nouncing results, coordinating counties
and settles into one big network of high
speed efficiency.

AMENDMENTS TO THE
'.kkGE.hOUR LAW

President Roosevelt, recommending
that no changes be made in the wage
hour law for another year while "evolu-
tion" of the act is studied declared that
"farm labor is not affected by the act
We disagree.
We cannot quite get over the idea that
employees who help the farmer send his
produce to market are farm laborers.
In Imperial Valley it would not do
mite of good for the farmer if he lost all
control of his lettuce, for instance, the
minute it reached the packing shed.
Mostly, he doesn't get paid until the let
tuce reaches the market. The packing
shed is just an intermediate step, as vital
to the farmer as are the harvest crews
which pick his lettuce.
Yet most packing shed laborers are
subject to the wage-hour law. The New
: Deal constituted wage-hOur admnistra-
tion has ruled that packing shed labor
ers are not agricultural laborers in most
instances. And there is so much red tape
concerned with finding out which pack
ing shed laborers are adjudged agricul-
tural laborers that employers are kept
in constant state of uncertainty.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton and the National Grange, Americas
two greatest farmer organization. have
asked for the amendments President
Roosevelt opposes. Yet he says the act
does not affect farm laborers. How does
he explain the interest of these two or
ganzations in the law?
The wage-hour law has caused so much
trouble and uncertainty that there is no
question in anybody's mind but that it
needs amendment Waiting a year to
make these amendments would be fool
ish. If the act isn't working now, it
won't work year from now. We might
as we'll use that year trying remedy,
rather than just thinking about one.

IN The SPRING
i NATIONS FANCY
(Ontario RecOrd)

Wonderful motoring weather is with
us again. The wanderluSt Of our ances-
tors is translated by most of us into the
heavy tread on the foot throttle of our
automobiles, as we all take blithelN to
the highways. Life begins, but in many
cases, ends almost IT once The wreck
season is upon us as summer approaches.
Traffic cops know that good weather
breeds bad accidents The safest time to
take ride is at the height of a rain
storm. Most people are more than ordl-
narily cautious then. When the sun
comes out and the roads dry off. every
body does little relaxing. lets it out,
and turns his car into a kind of travel
ing bug house.
The season, therefore, is ripe for tax
ing stock of your own assets and habll-
ties as driver, the ones that appear to
be those of the average driver you en-
counter and those of your car as some
thing to entrust your life to.
How long it will take to make the ma
tons highways as safe as its sidewalks
nobody cares to guess, but the problems
of traffic have never commanded such
concerted, countrywide study as they
are now receiving National organiza-
tons, community groups. city, county
state and federal officials are going at
ter satisfactory solutions from every
conceivable angle.
Highway improvement is one idea. An
other is compulsory car inspection prior
to any transfer of ownership of a sec
ond-hand automobile. The imposition
of driving tests and other examinations
on license applicants is growing.
Some cities have gone to the extent of
having traffic law violatorS examined by
psychiatrists, and induced to take treat
ments whose purpose is the correction of
the "personality twists responsible for
their abnormal behavior at the wheel.
The greatest movement, and the most
effective one, is the safety education
campaign among children and adults.

An Eastern Munich? Not at all.
No one who thinks China has
chance to win can contend that she
would como to such conference
as CzechoSlovakia came, a help 5
pawn. Having achieved Vir ual
stand-off in a three-year war, China
would not have to, agree to terms
imposed from without, or to any
terms inconsistent with her mill
tarv position and prospects. 1t is
even possible that the third pow
ers" could exert pressure on Japan
around a conference table which
they are unable to bring to bear on
the fighting front.
Even if such a conference failed
if is hard to sec how any participant
could lose anything. And all might
gain bv some settlement that would
stabilize for some years the turbu-
lcnt Far East.

DOTTiNG A QUESTION MARK
(Wall Street JournaD

The Soviet sickle hangs over Europe
like the great question mark that its
shape suggests. Statesmen still watch
anxiously to see what move the German
thrust into Norway may inspire in Mos
COW. Germany attacking Norway pre-
sents one problem But Germany in Nor
way. and Russia moving towards Sweden
through Finland, would present quite
another.
Thus reports from neutral sources in-
dicating that Russia had refused Ger
many the use of Murmansk as a base for
operations against Norway are hearten-
ing to the Allies and their sympathizers.
1t appears that Russia sees no partlcu-
lar opportunity for itself in immediate
collaboration with Germany in Scandl-
navia. This is understandable Early
calculations that Russia might move TO
put Scandinavia in BerlinMoscOW pm
GERS may yet be proved accurate. But
these were based on the assumption that
Russia would have to act to protect It's
own position in the Baltic. They do not
therefore apply to situation in which
the Allies seem to be asserting superior
force.
Had Germany staged its Morse putsch
without encountering serious opposition
from the British Navy, Russia would
indeed have needed to make sure Of It's
own Baltic position. For in that area 1t
is Germany rather than the Allies that
Russia has to watch The Allies will
not stay in Scandinavia after the war,
though they win it. But would the Nazls
leave? Moscow knows the answer AS
we'll as any small neutral in Europe

WASHINGTON April 26.-Hol-
lands danger of getting drawn m
to the war may have the somewhat
roundabout effect of giving the U. 5.
navy its long sought harbor i'm
Droycments on the island of Guam.
II figures out like this.
If Holland is invaded. her rich
Fast Indies empire is left up in the
AR. A British or u. S. protectoratc
has been suggested. Japan Wouldnt
like that and probably would move
to set up a protectorate of her
own. Neither the U. S. nor Britain
would like that. in turn. and out
of il all their might easily develop
a lot of trouble.
And Guam is a lot closer to the
Netherlands East Indies than any
adequate naval base the U. S. now
owns
BASE COULD BE
QUICKLY BUILT
The navy has been asking lof
harbor improvements on Guam Tor
over year. Last winter Congress
yctad the idea down. fearing Japan
would look on it as threat The
same item was put in the navy Dill
this year: the house voted it down,
but the senate is putting 1t back
and this time it may stick.
On the face of it, the measure is
simple enough. All that's asked is
enough money TO dredge the knobs
of coral out of the otherwise fine
harbor 50 patrol planes could land
there safely. But in the back of the
navy's mind is the idea that the
nation NAV soon be wanting reg =
ular navy base there very badly
Starting from scratch. such a base
could be built in less time than
it takes to build a battleship. II
there's going to be trouble IN the
East Indies. the navy figures it'd
be lot more useful.
L. S. MAIN FLEET
MAY BE NEEDED
Combined naval forces OF Holland
Britain. France and the U. S, sta
toned in far eastern waters aren't
very formidable, even though the
French and Dutch are understood
to have increased their strength
there of late. ConcensuS is they
could delay a japanese descent or
