HARRY BRIDGES GETS A
CROWN WITH RUBBER THORNS

Up in the Streamlined offices where
the dues flow in to keep the organizers
living in luxury, and the banana oil flows
out TO feed the fires of claT warfare.
they're manufacturing a martyrs crown
these days for Harry Bridges.
1t is a fleece lined martyrs crown with
rubber thorns, but from little distance
you cannot tell it from the real thing.
Fixing up that kind of crown is simple
thing for the lads who are working on IT,
They're experts at camouflage. They're
the only persons in history who have
been able to camOuflage a red flag SO
thoroughly that it stays red Yet look like
the rainbow.
They got in a lot of practice on Tom
Mooney. Sacco and Vanzetti, and the GAN
fornia shipbOard murdererS, 50 now they
re ready for the grand finale. Harry
Bridges is il
Alongside the cannonade that will sal
ute their new martyr, the noise they sci
up over Tom Mooney will be a mere PIP
squeak whisper. From here on down
through the years, the lads who cherish
the red blood in their veins principally
because of its color will dance horn
pipe on the drum of mass revolution
every time the name of Harry Bridges
is mentioned.
Harry Bridges. in Australia. will be
worth more in cash and propaganda
value to the radicals of this country than
he ever would be if allowed to remain
here. From now on, all they'll have to
do when the proletariat revolution shows
signs Of begging down in a morasS OF COM
mon sense will be to squeeze few more
mercurocrome DROPS out from under the
rubber thorns of the martyrs crown.
Harry Bridges Is an undesirable ahen'
an enemy Of our government, fomentor
of revolution. 1t has been recommended
that he should be daported.
We. as : people, would be remisS IN
our duty 10 the Flag We love if we eNaded
the issue Let l,s, rather recognize that
in d~porting Harry bridges we shall
place I, new weapon Tor disc0rd in the
hands Of Bridges fellow conspratorS,
But let us not run from the battle. Give
them the weapon, then face it down with
united democracy
Bridges has brought deportation upon
himself. Deport him, then. And, after

Games, Grim and Gay

The crack of the bat the thud
of the punter's toe against the foot
ball in these things, IN the au-
tumn of this year l94l, Americans
are still blessedly permitted to be
interested. The world series, the
opening games of the football sea
son. these hold briefly our atten-
ton while across the world people
watch and play their parts IN a
grimmer game.
Does it seem irresponsible for a
great nation to rivet its attention
on the hop of a sharp-hit baseball
or the spiral flight of deftly toss
ed forward pass, while there IS
being fought what may prove to
have been the bloodiest battle the
world has even seen?
We think not. In spite of wars,
revolutions. and all the tumults OF
the social organization. life must go

SIX PER CENT ENOUGH
IF YOU'RE SURE OF IT
,nNilla NercnrN-RepiSterl

tOroyille Mercury-Register)
We are interested in what Henry Nor
genthau. secretary of the treasury, says
about 6 per cent earnings for corpora
tionS being enough IF corporation
earns per cent on its capital that ought
to be enough. says the secretary.
We agree with him. Let it be so. Of
course. if he intends to put a ceiling on
corporate earnings he will guarantee
that they don't drop below. let us say,
per cent
Representing one corporation-a small
business that the administration is said
TO be preparing to Safeguard-we would
delight in the security Of such an ar
rangement
OF course. We might not work at the
business quite so hard 1t would be
something like the civil service. or being
a member Of a union and "unfireable."
Corporations might not turn out so many
articles. but it would be grand and
glorious feeling.
Someone looking over the shoulder re-
marks that maybe we have misread Mr..
Morgenthau. After all. he didn't say
anything about guaranteeing per cent.
Well. that wouldn't be so good. Business
is hazardous One year you might make
10 per cent and the next year be in the
red. If the government took all the fat
during the few good years and left us TO
suffer in the many bad ones, the general
average of profit might be something
like per cent with a general gong
out-of- business Where would the govern
ment get it's tax money then?

lOO-YEAR PARTNERSHIP

Secretary of Navy Frank Knox prac-
tically all of whose official declarations
have proved to be sounding boards for
New Deal administration policies, now
recommends 10O-year partnership be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain to police the sealanes (and possibly
the land areas as well) of the world.
The secretary is merely asking concrete
form for a hit-or-miss policy which has.
in effect, held sway for the last 25 to 80
years. This has been true because our
own fate, somehow or other, has been
inextricably woven with that of the Brit
ish Under the secretary's plan, how
ever, we would lose the bargaining power
We now hold.
To say yes or mo to the recon-
mendation Immediately would be unwlse,
since it is the kind of thing which needs
detailed study and complete public dis
cussion.
One thing, however the American peo-
ple should insist upon TO the bitter end.
T we are to take an equal part in polio
ing the seaways of the world, we want
an equal part in world trade. Selfish
and mercenary, perhaps-but then SO are
the British in the matter of trade.
We want no role which casts US as 4
policeman guarding, without pay, an
other persons properly.

AFTER THE WAR

(NeVada State JournaD
4 greater chronological advance in the
design Of machinery now deemed neces-
S.ry to civilized living may be expected
after this war ends than occurred fol-
lowing the war of tWenty-four years ago.
Automobiles may be changed so radical
ly in appearance and in mechanical spec
fications five years from now that to-
days latest creation will, by comparison,
resemble a relic Of past age.
Similar advances may be expected in
radios in electric refrigeratOrs, in heat
ing plants and, in fact, in every product
Of postwar industry. Mechanical genius
has not been stopped by the needs of
Wal to which a major part OF industry
is now devoted-it has merely been Civ
en- a holiday which it is utilizing to pre-
pare for the big job it will face when
the war ends.
There was unparalleled Improvement
in what NAV be termed the mechanics of
living following the last war. relent-
less year-by-year improvement in motor
cars soon made the wartime vehicles as
obsolete as the dodo. The electric refrig
orator, the radio, oil burner and stoker,
even the electric light came into their
own in the years Immediately following
the war. Almost each new house that
was built had incorporated in it i'm
provements of design and of fixtures.
But that was pioneer age, relatively,
and industry's methods were incompar-
ably crude compared to those of this
day. What industry will be able to do
to advance civilization following the end
OF the present war will far surpass for
mer achievements.
The present hiatus in improvements to
consumer goods and restrictions on their
manufacture will help to build up lat
ent market that will be spur to mech
anical genius to do it's utmost and it also
vii! be a spur to manufacturers to step
up production to take advantage of the
flood of orders that should be forthcom-
ing when the brakes are released.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-10-02

WE'D LIKE TO VENTURE the expert
opinion, because we dealwith them daily,
that American business men as group
are perhaps the most honest and conscl-
entious people in the world.
They have to be.
If business man tries TO fool the
public by getting his prices too high
then a competitor comes in with
lower price.
If a retailer gives poor service,
people leave him and trade at COM
petitive store.
If manufacturer puts out poor
quality products or misrePresents
them, people just stop buying from
him and the business man goes broke.
SO no matter what business man
thinks or what you think about business
men, the facts are that business men bale
TO keep their prices, service and quality in
line or they eliminate tbemJelp@. The oP-
Grafton is automatic.

Two sources Of supply are avail
able To makeup those losses. First

Danish and other tonnage laid up

The [ :. ship reQuiSition act made

able. and if Latin American repub-
hes take similar action, they will
provide 10000 tons more But this
total Is equal TO less than 10 per
cent OF the losses by sinking.

ing program now Just beginning to

Business can't be "aS usual, and
life can't be "as usual" in these

of war throws its shadow over ev-

world. Yet man is so constituted

them GOOD. If British people who

FIGURES NOT ENCOURAGING

There are no accurate or accepted
figures on German and Italian
shipping losses during the war, the
British claims differing sharply
with what the axis admits. Those
losses, however, don't tit into this
picture, whatever they are. It's the
British, allied and neutral ship
ping loss that presents the problem
and the total losses in two years OF
war are 7,442,000 gross tons, OF
which 4,689 900 gross tons are Brit
ish and 2,753,0OO gross tons are alll-
ed and neutral. In round numbers,
that represents about 100 ships
sunk.
How close can the United States
come to making up those losses?
At the present time, this tonnage
which has gone to the bottom OF
the ocean is greater than the entire
U. S. merchant marine in salt
water. This U. S. seafaring mer-
chant marine today is in round
numbers 1900 ships of 1000, 600
gross tons. OF those ships, approx
mately 500 are in foreign commerce
and TOO are in coastal trade. But
all of them would not make up for
the British, allied and neutral

The Inside Track in Washington

WASHINGTON. Oct. > - With
the Navy poised to shoot on sight
any axis pirate submarines or
commerce raiders and with British,
allied and neutral shipping losses
for August only a little over lOO.-
600 gross tonS-the lowest since the
war began. save only in the month
of March. l94o-a good vantage
point is afforded for an overall
look at the shipping situation.
There's a further interest in the
subject. too, in view of the launch
ing this month of the first three
EC-2 Liberty ships which marks
the real beginning of the Ameri-
can emergency shipbuilding effort.
According to the Maritime Com
mission, output of new ships in Au-
gust was $4,000 gross tons. That's
four times the output of August 4
year ago. but it's still not quite
equal to the total shipping losses
for August of this year, low
month
To get the correcc picture OF how
inadequate that new output of "a
600 tons a month really is, you
have to compare it with the aver
age monthly shipping losses of 3lo,-
900 gross tons for the "a months of
the war. Or compare it with the
peak losses Of $4,000 tons for April
l94l, during the Grecian and Crete
campaigns. and $4,000 gross tons
lost during the Dunkirk evacuation
of June, 1910.
