today-$4, 400 900 above its goal
after voting tentatively to increase
the capital stock tax on corpora
tions.

lively to raise the capital stock tax
from the present rate of sl.10 per
$1,000 to $l.25. He said this was

produce an estimated $4,000, 600 and
to increase the present withholding
tax on nonresident aliens and nom
resident foreign corporations from
1872 per cent to 271a per cent.
The Treasury estimated ne with
holding tax revision would raise 500

sents the amount this Government

Footloose youth, roaming the city
streets after dark while bent on criminal
adventure runs afoul of the law and is
dispatched to reform school where,
instead of reform, the first offender all
too often receives postgraduate course
in crime under the tutelage of hardened
associates.
California can now offer a solution to
the problem of separating the case-hard-
ened culprit from the one-time trans
gressor The San Francisco Juvenile
Probation Department has for two years
put it to the test.
On wooded mountain slopes 100 miles
north of the Bay Region is Log Cabin
Ranch. Here, juvenile court youths, who
otherwise would be committed to an in
stitution, are sent for "build-up" period.
In addition to schooling, they participate
in the wholesome activities of camp life
and ranching. The city's chief probation
officer says it has reduced the number
of San Francisco boys in state reforma-
tories by 40 per cent. Many Of the boys
sent to this outdoor mountain school
have graduated and embarked upon a
normal life and law-abiding careers for
themselves.
Supported by private funds for the
last two years this reform project has
proved its worth to San Francisco's Juve-
nile Probation Department so conclusive
ly that the city will henceforth provide
funds for its operation. As yet, Log Cab
in Ranch remains the only school of its
kind in the country, but its success dem
onstrates that training program COM
bined with vigorous outdoor life offers
a sound means of re-educating juvenile
offenders without recourse to institu-
tons which often deform instead of re-
form youth.

reason to wear their citizenship
proudly.
So, few years ago, certain peo-
pie conceived the idea that this
precious citizenship should not be
assumed lightly or casually, but
with solemnity, with ceremony pro-

The movement grew, and this
spring Citizenship Recognition Day
is going to be more impressive than
ever. The date, the third Sunday
In May each year, has been set by
Congress in an effort to create
nationwide ceremonial. Previously
groups in different cities held their
exercises at different times. Adop-
ton of single official date makes
possible arrangement of a national
broadcast, perhaps including an adj
dress by the President.
More and more communities are
joining in the work each year. They
form classes which prospective citi-
zens may attend, in which a back
ground on the meaning and respon-
sibilities of citizenship, as we'll as

ITS THE SYMPTOM,
NOT THE DISEASE

Jittery labor union and administra-
ton leaders have turned the full force OF
their publicity machines loose recently
to stress the undeniable fact that strikes
/. in defense industries have affected only
very minor percentage of factories en-
gagged in fulfilling contracts for the gov
eminent.
1t is time somebody was pointing out
that, were ii otherwise, the American
people as whole would not stand for
the defense strikes any longer than it
takes them EN- masse to force congress
sional action-and that would not be
long. If more than a minor portion OF
industry were tied up by strikes, the
resulting public outcry would be so loud,
so impressive, that every congressman
and senator in the nation would rush to
introduce bill outlawing strikes of any
kind-and the administration would be in
favor of it.
Thus far nobody has even tried to in
innate that any large part of industry
is strike-bound.
There is another cause for worry In
the strikes which have tied up anywhere
from fourteen to twenty national de-
Tense plants in the last two weeks. In
themselves, they are not serious when
viewed from a national standpoint. For
what they represent, they lay bare a
critical condition calling for immediate
corrective action.
1t would be extremely foolish to wait
until we had the disease in its worst
stage before we did something about it.
Laws denying the right of labor to
strike are not the answer, palpably. There
are conditions under which strikes are
justified The trouble today is that no
way has been set up by which an impair
tial agency can determine whether
strike is justified or not An outright
communist can call a strike today, for
no reason at all except to sabotage indus
try, and there is no redress.
We do not pretend to know what
should be done Possibly waiting period
should be made mandatory between
strike vote and an actual walkout. Most
certainly there should be no strike allow
ed unless the men who actually work in
the plant vote, of their own free will,
to strike. Too often, as we in Imperial
Valley know to cur discomfort, strikes
are called by union chieftains without
consulting the men who are ordered to
walk out
The unions themselves could solve the
problem better than anyone else, If they
would. Through conservative leadership
they could advance the cause of labor
without running counter to the best pub
lie interests. AS it is, however, the unions
are at the other eXtreme-and extremes
breed extremes. Too much radicaliSm
in the unions will force too much con-
servatism in corrective legislation.

by being born and staying around

ICKES POPS OFF

Harold L. Ickes, who overdoes practi-
cally everything, now has named names
in the same breath with charge that
fifth columnists, some of them paid by
foreign agents, are trying to sabotage this
country's Authoritarian plans. He NAM
ed, for instance, Col Charles A. Lind
bergh, Father Coughlin, Speed Filler Al
Williams, Author Lawrence Dennis and
few others.
We do not agree with the people he
named when they oppose the lend-lease
bill. We do agree with Secretary Ickes
when he favors its passage. But We be-
lieve the secretary was guilty of possibly
his worst display of bad taste and
there have been a lot of them-when he
intimated that anyone who opposes the
land-lease bill is a fifth columnist. We
firmly hold that any man is entitled to
his opinion, without being called infam-

BROWDER CONVICTION
UPHELD BY COURT
Fresno Bee)


The conviction of Earl Browder, most
notorious Stalinist in the United States,
on a charge of making false statements
in connection with obtaining 4 passport
to travel in his beloved Russia, has been
sustained by the United States supreme
Court.
The opinion, delivered by Associate
Justice Stanley Reed, was unanimous.
AS a result, Browder faces four years
incarceration in. prison. He also must
pay a $4,000 fine.
Of course, every Red and every Red
sympathizer in the United States will
heap denunciation upon the countrys
highest court for its refusal to intervene
in providers behalf. He will be pictured
as the innocent victim of a capitalist
frameup, a courageous martyr TO the
cause of the workers.
What nonsense.
The plain fact is that if Browder were
living in the country for which he eX-
presses such fervent admiration and had
followed there the course he has pursued
here for 10, these many years, he would
have been liquidated.
The OGPU would have seen to that.
In America, however, in spite of his
purpose to destroy our government and
every liberty which Americans possess
in a mad dream of dictatorship, Browder
his innocence.
He had the best legal talent money
could demand.
His appeal went from court to court
until it reached the highest court in the
land.
That is the American way, even for a
Communist
