As BAD ON ONE SIDE
AS ON THE OTHER

Harry Bridges and his left-wing CO.
horts are rallying support against the
Bridges deportation case with the battle
cry that it is a felonious assault upon
labor and labor organization as whole.
If Bridges is deported, they proclaim,
the anti-labor forces of the United States
will be in the saddle, and labor will en-
bark upon the darkest period in its his
tory.
The fact is that Bridges represents an
extreme. Extremes are not good Tor
either employees or employers, AS whole.
Bridges is not the only extreme to be
found in industrial relations. He Is no
worse than the employer who pays Starv-
alton wages. who insists upon MAINTAIN
ing deplorable working conditions, who
regards his employees as slaves, and who
takes advantage of their impoverished
condition to force upon them the most
unfair terms of employment. Such an
employer is the other extreme from
Bridges, and is just as bad for both en-
ployes and employers as Bridges can
possibly be.
For many years this country has been
progressively enacting legislation to
curb the ruthless employer because he
has been recognized as menace to the
whole framework of society. Enactment
of such legislation-with the mistakes
that are to be expected in such pro-
granl-s still going ahead. Today how
ever the mass of legislation protecting
society against ruthless employers has
reached such a stage in its development
that new need is becoming apparent
the need for a curb on labor racketeers
who take unfair advantage of the legis-
lation we have enacted thus endangering
the framework of society from the other
side of the scales.
Such a one is Bridges He is not a
friend, but an enemy of labor. His activ-
tiles, if allowed to go unchecked, will
eventually result in wiping out many OF
the gains society, through labor, has
made in the last several years.
Such men as Bridges, by inflaming
labor against government and arousing
public opinion against the labor move
ment they profess to support, actually
create only anarchy. They are not friends
of labor, they are not friends of industry,
they are not friends of society. They
are saboteurs undermining the frame
work of democratic government.
The sooner they are disposed Of the
sooner will everyone advance normally to
a greater distribution of resources
through the democratic process.

should therefore abandon science, or
the scientific methods 1t teaches.
What we need is to realize that
mere science is not enough. we
need morals. too, SO that we may
properly use for good the TOOLS
science has given us. We need
faith. the ultimate faith that lies
beneath science, that the truth is
discoverable and good. We need TO
renew faith also that there is an
aspect of man apart from the ma
terial things in which science deals.
None of these things are contra
dictory. We need to put science IN
its place by faith that mans splr-
itual side is also important. we
need moral development, so that the
techniques of science may be used
for good and not for evil. And we
need science itself, and the scientific
method. so that man, given brains,
may use them to think, and to
achieve.
Science is swell, and were all Tor
it. But science is not everything.
Is man so great that he can al
ford to discard anything he can
achieve in faith, in morals, or in
science?
Surely, the fault is not with any
of these. but with the fact that
man has not yet perfectly developed
them

ATTRACTING TOURISTS
Nevada State JournaD

Perhaps D. Leo Dolan, director of the
Canadian governments travel and tour
Isl bureau, isn't exactly tactful man,
but he is a truthful one. And most Amer
leans will agree with what he said in
recent address:
Il am sick, sore and tired of seeing the
Stars and Stripes over hot dog stands as
a cheap appeal to United States VISITORS
Before any Super-patrlots take UNI
bragg at this blunt remark, there should
be haste to supply some Of the surround
ing context. Mr.. Dolan explained that
visitors from across the border do not
come to Canada to see its mountains,
lakes and streams. They (meaning AM
ericans) have their own mountains, lakes
and streams of comparative beauty.
United States tourists are attracted to
Canada by the charm of something diff
ferent, the foreign atmosphere of the
villages and towns, the combination OF
British and French customs and speech.
A visit to Canada is the poor mans trip
abroad, the busy mans relaxation in
unfamiliar environs.
This is true in the main. Except for
those who prefer hunting and fishing
in Canada, most visitors from the United
States find an appeal in the contrast be-
tween the old and the new and the sur
yival of native customs and speech They
don't want to see Old Glory pasted over
hot dog stands just to catch the tourist
trade. They could even do without the
hot dogs. They have plenty Of those at
home.
The Canadian tourist business will
probably be hit by the war this summer
and many Americans, particularly those
in the East who have saved up their
money and their vacation days for a
month of touring, will find the western
part of the United States more attractive
than Canada this year. At least the re-
ports indicate busy tourist season in
1941, regardless Of preparedness activ
tiles or perhaps because of them, as there
will be more money available and the
need or desire for relaxation will be
greater.

National Association of Manufac-
turers in 1887 and S100 million by

roads in the 20 years from 1918

One of Blaisdells recommended
tions is for bringing the records of
lobbyists into the open. Maybe it's
an idea. We have required all

that their activities may be check
ed. But We are allergic to home

Science Says

Ali Baba had magic word When
he pronounced open Sesame!' the
door of the thieves cave swung open,
and all the riches within lay before
him.
We of the twentieth century have
inclined to believe. that we, too,
had a magic word. Science says
=" we mouth, and expect all the
riches of health, wealth and happi-
ness to lie before us.
There are people today who trust
in science blindly, almost as our
forefathers trusted in God. Faith
like that, by the way, even in
science, is not scientific.
But even science requires sort
of faith at bottom-faith that the
truth is discoverable, and that is is
worth discovering. That faith has
been shaken in these days, as the
Rockefeller Foundation admits in
its review of its 1910 activities.
Science has placed powerful tools
in the hands of men. But of what
use are they if they are used merely
for mans enslavement? If the Ger
man dye industry produced sulfa-
nilamide. most amazing of modern
medical discoveries, it also produced
mustard gas. If deep principles of

NYA EXPANSION

Administration officials in charge of
that particular branch of activity are
planning, news dispatches say, to re-
quest upwards of four million dollars for
a National Youth Administration expan-
sion program on the preteXt of training
young people to take jobs in defense in
dustries.
Actually the proposed request has all
the earmarks of pet spending scheme
tied on to defense like a tin can to dogs
tail.
It is the gravest foolishness for two
reasons:
l. Defense industries train their own
apprentices to operate their own mach
ines, and do it quicker, more effectively
and more thoroughly than any theoreti-
cal, idealistic governmental agency
could.
2. IT, as our government and the gov
ernment of Britain has led us to believe,

winning the war in 1912 the proposed
