DEFENSE
If THESE PERMIT
(Wall Street Journal)

(Wall Street JournaD
Attorney General Jackson has ruled
that the provision of law requiring gov
ernment contractors to comply with the
National Labor Relations Act means that
a company which the Labor Board has
adjudged a violator of the act may not
receive government contract, even
though its appeal from the board finding
is pending in the courts.
In other words, the Bethlehem Steel
corp, the largest maker of armor plate
for navy vessels, cannot receive gov
ernment contract until the circuit court
of appeals and perhaps also the Supreme
Court have decided its appeal from an
order of the Labor Board.
What kind of body is this Labor
Board which the attorney general says
has it in its power to delay portions of
the nations defense works for many
months? 1t consists of two men and
vacancy. The term of office of the for
mer third, Chairman Madden, expired
more than a month ago, but President
Roosevelt has neither renOminated him
or chosen a successor His confirmation
by the senate, if the President should
name him for another term, is regarded
in Washington as exceedingly doubtful.
III any eoSe' iiS ieoPPoii'iiiei' "ouio
ALLEVIATE one of the great organized labor
factions, his replacement would very
likely offend the other.
So the present Labor Board, which Mr..
Jackson says has power to keep leading
steel company away from government
service for an indefinitely long time,
consists of two men, one of whom is gen.
orally believed to be preparing to retire
from a position in which he has often
found himself in hopeless disagreement
with his colleagues.
One would hardly have supposed that
Mr. Jackson and the Labor Board were
to be so powerful in determining speed
at which the nation might prepare its de-
fenses. And one cannot help wondering
how much more of it may be under their
thumbs

EXPERIMENTAL EDUCATION

About 80 per cent of the nations par
ents will agree with DR.. Mary l. Pres
ton of the Stanford University School of
Medicine that some of today's so-called
streamlined educational methods-nota-
bly, he "look-say" method of teaching
reading-are all haywire. The parents
may not know so much about the physical
and psychological reactions, but lot of
them know their children haven't learned
to read as we'll as they should.
people fresh out of school will back up
both the parents and DR.. Preston in the
assertion.
You can show a child picture of
cat, alongside the word "cat" and pos
sibly the child will get the connection,
but how in blazes are you going to draw
pcure of the word 'and" or the word
big" or any of thousand others?

UNTIMELY FAVORITISM
IN ARMY PREFERMENT
)rOville Mercury-Register)

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
The appointment of Elliott Roosevelt
to a captaincy in the air corps just be-
fore time to register for the draft was a
very bad example of favoritism to place
before the country at this time 1t takes
it's place with some of the worst incidents
of the World War draft. The son of a
President is no more entitled to a COM
mission than the son of a farmer.
The trouble with our army and navy
is that there is too much pull through
OUT when it comes to the officer clique.
One must have sufficient political pull
with congressman to obtain appoint
ment either to West Point or to Annap-
oils. But even those who have this come
out after the allotted number of years of
training with only lieutenancy or the
equivalent. Elliott leaps over these at
one bound.
All the parents of boys subject to the
draft would like to get commissions for
their sons, but few can do so. This is a
time when the highest man should set
the best example. Instead, he allows
his son to be placed in safe, soft job, far
from the draft. AS result dissatisfac-
tion among young men is widespread and
protests are spreading. 1t is a most sur
prising and disconcerting development.

Lessening the Economic Hangover

After more than a year of war.
indications are that basic American
economy has been only slightly dis
turbed
The stock market has not be-
haved Historically. Food prices,
rents, clothing and other commod-
ity costs have not shot up to un-
healthful boom peaks. There is no
general profiteering.
The billions of dollars of defense
appropriations have not yet shown
up in the economic picture. They
are, of course, certain to have their
effects. 1t is impossible to spend
that much money without having
something to show for it besides
boats and guns and armies. The
money is bound to trickle down
through to the average man. But
there will also be a larger nation
al debt and higher taxes.
But all of this is necessary. None
of it is produced artificially. There
is no panic-no rush to get in on
the ground floor of something
good.
A recent survey of food prices
generally throughout the United
States reflected an increase of less
than 5 per cent after the first year
of war. Prices were about the same
as they we're year ago, but were
about 7 per cent higher than just
before the beginning of World War
II. The small increase reflects a
normal fluctuation, caused by
greater demand, rather than any
speculative activity as a result OF
Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-08

the war.
At the same time, wages have
gone up. The Investors Syndicate
of Minneapolis has reported that
wage earners are receiving about l5
per cent more than they were two
months ago and salary workers
about 7 per cent more.
Basic wage rates have not chang-
ed perceptibly but workers are re-
ceiving more pay for overtime.
Some of the increase may result
from greater distribution OF en-
ployment
Not all of the payroll increase
can be ascribed to defense. MoSt
of the defense program. after all,
has not even been put into opera
ton. Many economists believe that
much of the industrial gain can be
chalked up to normal changes. un-
related to the war
The sane and orderly manner IN
which business has so far met ana
balanced the inevitable effects OF
a major war are encouraging. IL
a pretty large order to keep an
economic system running smoothly
in one country when the rest OF
the world has forgotten all the
rules.
AS long as American business can
continue to do the things that
must be done without losing It's
head and basking in bloody profits
this country has less to fear from
a postwar depression. The job is
to build-build as fast as possible
but on solid rock.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-08
A MANS DESIRE
TO WORK

Who gets the jobs in national defense
industries?
Trained men? Not necessarily. Men
with pull? Not at all.
The man who wants to work, and
knows how to work, gets the job.
H. R. Harnish, who used to live at
Calexico and who is now administrative
coordinator for the California Depart
ment of Employment, told few plain
facts about employment the other day
in which job-hunting Americans - and
particularly young people hunting their
first job-should be interested.
The big companies engaged in filling
national defense contracts do not demand
that man be trained to do exactly the
work for which they hire him, Harnish
revealed They're willing to train him.
Most of them have established schools to
carry on this necessary industrial train
ing.
Well then, what is the first requirement
of these firms in considering an appli-
cant for work?
His desire to work. is the first con-
sderation. His work habits are the most
important thing about him, to his pros
pective employer. Secondly, his aptitude
Tor the JOD WHICH MAY De given HlIIl IS
considered.
Do not misunderstood that phrase,
'desire to work" 1t does not mean desire
to hold a job and get a paycheck each
week 1t means just what it says. De-
sire to work.
That is why the big companies prefer
men from farms and small communities,
Harnish explained. Because those men
have had to work, and work hard. They
know what work means. Too often, Har-
nish added, young men from the big
cities have been spoiled. They have had
too many easy jobs, too few hours of
actual labor. They're afraid of work.
They like the job, and they like the check
that comes each week-but they don't
like to do the work.
SO the big companies consider, first
and foremost, the desire of the applicant
to work for what he earns.
What Mr. Harnish did not add is that
the same thing holds true in every other
industry in the nation. Every employer.
big or little, knows the desperation of
having to deal with young emplOye who,
somehow, has come to believe that he is
entitled to his paycheck without having
given anything in return for 1t. And
every employer knows the satisfaction OF
dealing with an employe who, while de-
manding a Just return, is still willing to
do little more than the assigned job,
and do it with good will in the shortest
possible time.
Anywhere, in any Job. the man who
gets ahead is the man who has the "de-
sire to work"

he wound up by accusing Willkie of
seeking appeasement.
The Agriculture Department brain
trusters who gathered material for
him had expected he was going to
hit the feedthe- starving Europeans
proposal. It's Perkins speech, not
Wallace's, that really lays down the
administration line" on the mat
ter.
Understanding hdere is that the
Hoover campaign will get rolling
within a few weeks, probably in the
form of a series of direct appeals
to the public. The administration
theory is that since Americans are
easily reached by an appeal to their
generosity. the best way to meet such
appeals is by stressing the amount
of underfeeding that goes on at
home.
INTER- AMERICAN
TRADE PUSHED
The State Department isn't in the
least worried by the fact that the
British have a trade mission in
South America, even though some
British exports might compete with
U. S. exports there. AS one State
Department expert puts it, IF the
British can take South American
products that we can't take, we
can't very we'll object to the success
of British statesmen, can we?"
Much more interesting to the
department are the trade discus
sions recently begun between Bra
zil and Argentina. the type of BIZ
lateral trade agreement the U. S
is interested in.
No U. S. cash has been put up
to get the ball rolling. However
the recent deal whereby American
capital is to help Brazil set up a
steel industry is considered a STEP
in that direction. Experts here
hope that Brazil ultimately will be
able to sell plenty of steel to hei
neighbors.
They point out that at present
South American countries sell only
about eight per cent of their eX-
ports to each other The figure
could easily be 20 per cent. and nc
one will be happier than the U. S
State Department if it finally hits
that level.

WASHINGTON. Oct. S.-If and
when the campaign to sell the U. s.
on feeding starving Europe gets
started-and it's looked for some
time this fall, probably under Her.
bert Hoover's direction-you car eX-
pect the Roosevelt administration
to oppose it bitterly.
Its opposition will take two forms ::
a balancing of starving Ameri-
cans" off against the Blockaded
Europeans and a plea that its a
matter of building our country up
until it's strong enough to defend
itself before we build up a Europe
strong enough to attack u.s."
All of this is clearly foreshadow-
ed in official utterapces of various
administration officials-most not
ably perhaps. in speech made more
than a month ago at Minneapolis
by Milo Perkins, head of the Federal
Surplus Commodities Corporation.
Perkins asserted that more than
100000 Americans are badly un-
derfed right now: that if they all
got enough to eat practically all of
our surplus foodstuffs would be
consumed that an adequate diet
for all Americans would mean an
expansion in farm production, IN
place of the steady contraction of
recent years-and that, in short,
to call for the sending of food to
Europe before American hunger is
satisfied is disguised form of ap-
peaSement.
