UNREST IN GERMANY
Nevada State JournaD

Sweden is in very uncomfortable
spot in this war, and Stockholm with
Nazi pistol constantly at its head, nat
urally is careful to be very polite to Ger
many. Stockholm reports of growing
disaffectiOn and unrest in Germany,
therefore, command more serious atten-
tlon than such reports would permit if
they came from other European sources.
The Swedish press, formerly under a
sort of 'be nice to the Nazis" censorship,
has become increasingly plan-spoken in
publlciZing German news of the sort that
the Nazls don't like. One Stockholm
newspaper reports that Opposition cir
cles are beginning to make their appear
ance in Germany" This paper describes
in detail new Nazi repressive measures
aimed ostensibly at Jews but actually
enforced also against Aryans suspected
of lacking enthusiasm for Hitler's war.
Another Stockholm newspaper carries
an analysis Of what it describes as grow
ing German apprehension over delay in
the Russian campaign. A Nazi govern
ment alibi, the Stockholm paper asserts.
must pave the way for revision of
German opinion on its conception of the
strength Of the Russian army"
The Nazi war lords apparently are be-
ginning to wonder whether they have not
bitten off more than they can chew in
Russia-and are preparing to square
themselves with the German people in
case the chewing becomes too difficult.
The mere fact that the Nazi chieftains
are forced to give serious attention to
public opinion at home is news of the
biggest sort-if true.

THE WORD
OF CHURCHILL
Riverside PreSs)

(klNefSlue ITeSS)
People are so confused. They keep
asking when we are going to get into the
war. Only one man, said Winston Chur-
chill, can put the United States into war.
That man is Adolf Hitler-or is he CIV
ing der fuehrer too much Importance?
The United States attacks no nation.
But let us be clear about war. One
kind is a shooting war. Great Britain
is in that kind now. Another is produc
tiOn war. We are in that kind We have
voted to stand by Great Britain with
leasing, lending and making the means
of war. There is no question about when
or whether we are going into this war.
We are in it now, up to our necks in pro-
duction.
Whether or not we shall get into a
shooting war no one yet knows. We are
in a making war now. There is no such
thing as peace on earth until the Nazi
menace is put down. Talk about peace
is futile for the present
Our men in training are our reserve
defense. We need and honor them. Our
men in production are on the fighting
lines. They are our first line defenders.
They should be recognized and honored
as such. They should know themselves
as defenders and take their position with
seriousness and self respect.
Most citizens believe that strikes and
slOWdoWns have as little place now as
instructions in the army or mutny in
the navy, and should be dealt with as we
deal with such things. We believe de-
cent wages, hours not too long for health,
are any workers due. The soldiers are
fed, clothed, sheltered and trained be-
sides getting their twenty-one dollars
month Greed has no standing. Jurisdc-
tlonal arguments can wait. Duty and
sacrifice are the order of the day. We

What is the crime of Frenchmen
who are dying in Paris today at
the hands of Frenchmen? They are
against the Germans. Yes, it has
come to that! F7renchmen are dying
in Paris in 1941 because they are
against the Germans and against
kind of German system that the
German conquerors Of 1870 dared
not even try to inflict on beaten
Frenchmen.
The script for the next act is al
ready Written-Written by Hitler
himself years ago in "Mein Kampf." &"
He personally admired the stern
measures which the French took
when they occupied the Ruhr, es-
pecially as the ineffective measures
taken by his political opponents
within Germany to defeat them
were grist for his mill. But as he
watched the feeble attempts of the
Cuno government to combat the
French occupation, Hitler himself
set down what he would do if he
were the French. What should an
occupying army do if sabotage.

FASHIONS NEVER CHANGE

AT the risk of seeming entirely out

comes old-fashioned The condition is
induced by reading about 22-year-old Ann
Marie Hansen, San Diego state college

The old fashioned viewpoint revolts

trial by DR.. Bernice Stone, director Of
health education at San Diego State,

that we found unpalatable, however, as
it was the frame of mind the state

Right here we might as well take off
the gloves or you won't understand what
were trying to say any more than we
will know all the words necessary in try
ing to dodge a blunt statement.
1t is normal in the true sense of that
word for young men and women Of col

tion towards those of the opposite sex.
But to say that It IS normal to crafty
that attraction, or partially gratlty It,
is to say that the young men and women
who hold it under control are not normal.
When civilization reaches the place
where we call lack Of self control the
normal thing, and declare those to be

1t is just as silly to tell college stu
dents that necking is the normal thing,
the thing that is expected of them. as it
is on the other hand to believe that none
of them will do it.
Wouldn't it be lot better to tell them
the truth? That they can neck, and not
be harmed, but that in trying it they are
like an inexperienced layman trying to
walk tightrope so feet above a paved
street. That the necking, itself, does only
minor physical damage to their nervous
systems, but that It leads altogether too
many times to the sort of tragedy which
left Miss Hansen sobbing her heart out
in a San Diego courtroom.
Wouldn't it be better to tell them, in
a way to make them know the truth Of
it, that self control is among the great
est assets any person can have, whether
in social, business or professional life?
That self control cannot be exercised in
one line and not in all others
And, above all, would it not be better
to make them realize, as others who have

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5-PreSl-
dent Roosevelt's announcement
that state unemployment insurance
funds might have to tide workers
over periods of idleness in the
transition of industry from civilian
to defense production is the tip
off that this emergency will glFe
the whole unempioyment compen-
sation plan its first major test.
AS many as 5000 plants working
on defense orders may be fore
ed out of business because of in
ability to secure priority on ma
terials
That means, according to Ameri-
can Federation of Labor estimates,
that anywhere from one to two
million workers will have to find
new jobs in defense industries and
a good many of them may have
to rely for time on their jobless
insurance.
In making his statement about
reliance on unemployment COM
pensation, the President made clear
that every effort would be taken
to provide a 60-day leeWay before
any factory was actually closed
down by material shortages. In that
time new jobs in defense industries
may be found, or plans made to
give workers re-training courses
which will fit them for defense jobs.
1t is only wnen these shifts fail
to produce results that unemploy-
ment insurance will have to carry
the load.
ATTACK BIG RESERVES
More than S21 billion in contri-
buttons from the 48 states, the
District of Columbia, Hawaii, and
Alaska are now on deposit with
the federal government in the un-
EMPLOYMENT trust fund. One OF the
main criticisms of the compensation
plan has been that these reserves
were unnecessary-that the plan
should be run more on the basis
of letting current basis OF letting
current receipts in the form OF
payroll taxes take care of the ben
efits paid out to the temporarily
unemployed. Total benefits paid
out since the social security act
became effective in January. 1888
have run more than $l5 billion
What critics Of the plan therefore
advocate is a downward revision
of the tax 80 that the reserves
would not exceed the collections
and benefits by so great q margin
1t must be borne in mind that
the So billion reserve is not IN
one pool that can be drawn on
by any or all states. The account
of each state is kept separately
by the government, which merely
acts as administrator and trustee
for the states, investing each
states contributions in United
States bonds. crediting the interest
on those bonds, and making dis
bursements to the states on de-
mand. Pennsylvania and Ohio, for
irNtance, nave reserves Of over
s16O million to their credit. Maine
has only s4 million. Similarly, rates
of unemployment benefits paid TO
workers and the length Of time
they can be paid vary in each
state.
DRAIN WON'T BE EVEN
In considering the unemployment
compensation picture nationally
it is impossible to make any accur-
ate estimates Of what the drain
will be on the reserves in the trust
fund. By the best averages which
the Social Security Board has been
able to MAKE. lhe average benefits
which an individual worker can
collect when thrown out Of a job
is from $40 to s1l q week for a
period of from 10 to II weeks.
