favor before 1888 and reduced 1t to
40 cents in 1888 at the urgent plead

differential is only about per cent
of the wage rate. Compared to other
fields. some los selected industries,
according to United States Depart
ment of Labor statistics, show diff

South has over the Northern wage
scale. Even In the w. P. A.. the
differential ranges in the neighbor-

Southern operators say they believe
their 6 per cent differential is in

Members of Congress from the
South have become aroused over
the problem, because if John L.
Lewis is successful in wiping out the
differential between the Northern
and Southern wage scales, he not

would establish a $7-a-day yard

When, therefore, we find ourselves
with military problems to solve, we
should try to solve them in the light
of these principles. Specifically, as
we contemplate the necessity for the
United States to undertake naval
and air operations in the Atlantic
Ocean for the protection of our vital
communications with the island of
Great Britain, we must realize that
once we have taken this decision,
the North Atlantic becomes a major
theater of offensive operations. in
which we must concentrate such
forces as may be necessary to ac-
complish our objective.
We may be quite sure that every
effort will be made by our opponents
to prevent us from doing this. These
efforts are likely to take two forms: ::
Threatening japanese moves in the
Far East and threatening Axis
moves in West Africa-coupled, of
course, with widespread raids on
our shipping as well as Britain's.
Must Watch Security.
We must be prepared, therefore,
against such counter-action. We
ought to give thought, not only to
our concentration of offensive power
against our objective in the main
theater, but to the security of our
base, our lines of communication,
our strategic f1anks and our interests
in other parts of the world.
In the Far East, the presence OF
our Pacific fleet at Hawaii and our
advance guard Asiatic fleet at
Manila gives us so great a naval
superiority that, with carefully ar
ranged plans for joint defense with
the British and Dutch, we ought to
be able to deal with any attempt
by the japanese to extend their
power in the region of the South
China Sea.
But II the Atlantic becomes our
main offensive theater of operations,
we must realize that its demands
become primary. Half measures are
the inevitable prelude to defeat, and
if cruisers, destroyers and aircraft
carriers are needed in the Atlantic,
we must send them there. We might
thus have to cut down, for the time
being, the striking power of our
Pacific fleet, which means that for
the time being. we might have to
assume the defensive in the Pacific.
Cannot Abandon Possessions.
This does not and must not mean
the abandonment of the Philippines,
the Dutch East Indies and Singa-
pore to the Japanese. The effect Of
such abandonment might be tanta-
mount to the loss Of the war, for
it might cut OF Great Britain from
sources of raw materials and food
stuffs which could not be replaced,
and might produce complete col
lapse of her Middle Eastern cam
paign, with the consequent release
of German forces for concentration
against Britain.
Consequently, we should produce
a defensive concentration in the
Philippines of forces not so imme-
diately useful in the Atlantic
troops, land-based planes of second
line types, submarines - and we
should thoroughly coordinate our
plans for the defense of the South
China Sea with the British at Hong
Kong and Malaga, and the Dutch
1t should be possible to retain a
sufficient naval force in the Pacific
