JAPANESE SANDWICH MEN
But sandwiches are scarce; the signs
urge all to be thrifty during the present
difficulties.
not now threaten us to any such ex-
tent as demands a vast addition to
our navy. But we can't thus hack
at her lifelines without creating a
resentment that already has re-
quired very extensive naval prep
arations to back it up.
Why are we doing it? We are told
that it is not for the trade Of China
but for our love of China. China is
a big country. Part of it is Com
munist and all of it may be. Shifts
in the Far Eastern lineup are I'M
practicable. Just when we must
closely watch a dangerous confla-
grafton in our front yard, we seem
to be building bonfire on our own
back doorstep.
In Reverse English.
Some authorities say we are doing
it to protect the British economic
position in eastern Asia-a thing she
refused to do with us in Manchukuo.
If that is so, we are reaping rich
reward in the British interference
with our exports, imports and mails
and their disregard of what remains
of our neutral rights on the high
seas.
CHICAGO. - John Lewis would
never contend that this .administra-
ton has done little or nothing for
organized labor. He feels that the
continued stagnation of economic
activity and the great pool of I'M
employment, which has been very
little lessened, are evils which the
administration started out to inn
prove. He says it has not succeed
ed in doing this or fundamentally
helping the situation in taxation,
debt, federal finance, agriculture
and export trade to betterment of
all which the unemployed in the
ranks of labor must look for jobs.
If that is correct Interpretation
of Johns mighty blast, it's hard to
see any error in it. As the Presi-
dent is fond of saying: "Res ipsu
loquitur" the facts speak for them
selves.
But this administration cannot
fairly be charged with not having
done its utmost for labor.
It is true that many of these
fedglings of the Blue Eagle have
turned out to be sick chickens. The
Labor Relations board needs a good
going over. The bituminous coal
commission has not yet laid a SUBJ
stantial egg. The wages and hours
act is still to weather its first real
test. Handling of the labor problem
by the department of labor has been
bungling and inept.
Nevertheless, the purpose and the
effort of the administration on be-
half of labor have been sincere and
ceaseless. These faults and short
comings can all be cured.
Most important of all, from the
labor point of view, these new truly
liberal principles are so firmly es-
tablished and so widely accepted in
this country that never again can
they be made a political issue. Any
party that attempt to turn back the
hands Of the clock will fail.
Finland acted in exact accord
with Winston Churchill's plea to
trust the allies-to join them or die.

ASIA:
Indian RondeIet

When Britain went to war and
asked India's aid, Mahatma Gandhi
countered by asking when India
might expect dominion status. An
swered Viceroy Marques of Linlith-
gov: After the war. Complained
Gandhi: This was unacceptable.
Such pickering continued while the
Nationalist leader urged passive re-
sistance upon his people and nego-
tiated for a chance to discuss the
problem with the viceroy. Finally
the chance came and Gandhi went
to New Delhi. 4 s5
When, he asked the marques,
could India expect her independ-
ence? Answered Linlithgow: After
the war. Complained Gandhi: This
was unacceptable. Net result Of
five months talk: Nothing.

tary War but President Wages q
More Deadly Economic War
Against Japan.
By HUGH S. JOHNSON
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS strate-
gy in the European war is to starve
Germany, just as it was German
strategy in both the World war and
this one to starve England. This is
economic war which can be more
deadly than military war, especially
to women, children, the sick and
the aged.
Measures less than war but more
than words is misleading phrase
II it means that we will engage in
economic war. Military war re-
quires declaration of war by con-
gress. But this administration has
wangled many powers that permit it
to engage in economic war without
any reference whatever to congress.
In Chicago, the President, speak
ing of Japan, threatened to GUAR
antine the aggressor nations" That
raised such storm of protest that
it was soft-pedaled. Nevertheless,
we seem now to be about to wage
economic war on Japan. By letting
the Japanese trade treaty lapse, the
administration has created condi-
ton in which, by use of other execu-
tive powers, it can wage economic
war to remarkable extent.
Hacking at Lifelines.
No nation can 60 very far down
the road of economic war without
reaching place where military war
can't be avoided. In this very stu
alton we are creating condition
which has already involved a seri-
Gus military problem. Japan does

"The great majority of the women's

special love for the preachers or
Stalinism, but in the past few years
maintained an attitude of tolerance
toward them because the Communists
put on an act of united front and
paraded with labels of constructive
unionism.
