Stund-up Strike

When automobiles first appeared
upon our highways horses took one
appalled, look and developed severe
cases of equine jitters. Motorists used
to have to stop while teamsters led
their horses past these monstrosities,
often to the accompaniment of pro-
family. Car drivers made bitter re-
marks about the utter meaningless
ness of the term "horse sense"
That problem died long ago when
nearly all the horses were sent to
milk routes, race tracks and glue fac
tories, leaving the automobile su-
preme, but its ghost has now arisen
In new form. Poultry raisers of
Monrovia, California, have petitioned
the sheriff to restrain low-fying
planes, which so upset hens that they
go on a sort of stand-up strike and
refuse to lay. The poultry farms are
all around the airport, and as no way
has yet been found for a plane to
leave the ground without flying low
at least part of the time, the sheriff
is in a quandary. A graceful man
made bird skimming the sky is indeed
a wonderful sight, but so also is a
glorious golden fried egg on frosty
morning.
This whole dispute over labor con-
ditiOnS is caused by the deplorable
ignorance of the average hen, whose
mentality is too feeble to foresee the
consequences if she arbitrarily exer-
cises her right to strike. She faces
more than just the loss of an easy job,
on which she is actually requested to
lay down. She may land in the frying
pan, or, If she gets too tough, in the
soup.

Wants War to Save Britain
"In View Of Nazi Crimes"
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
In the case of the lease-lend BILL the
administration and many deluded sup
porters of the bill are saying, in effect:
You want to help England. Then pass
this bill because it is the only bill which
can help England. If you defeat this
bill, you cause the defeat of England"
Let us have a new and better bill
to help England. For my part, I say let
us declare war now, Jail the saboteurs,
make strikes reasonable and send ships
to carry goods to Britain and destroyers
to guard them. 1t would be not only
just, in view Of Nazi crimes in Europe,
but in keeping with our position as for
mer allies of the English in World War
No. 1, of which the present conflict is
merely continuation.

Bottle of the Atlantic

Preservation of British sea power
Is so vital to all the Americas that
statements in the House of Commons
yesterday by A. v. Alexander, First
Lord of the Admiralty, will be read
here with interest not unmixed with
concern. With that candor which
characterizes periodical expositions
of the war situation by the Churchill
government, Mr. Alexander did not
conceal the gravity of the position
at sea.
He declared that "the battle of the
Atlantic" now opening finds Britain
in need of many more ships and
great numbers of men" to combat
the triple menace of submarines,
long-range bombing planes and sur
face raiders which Hitler will employ
in an all-out thrust for victory. The
First Lord withheld reply to men,
Der who asked whether his majesty's
government had told the United
States that aid in ships and still
more ships" is more urgent than
money or planes, but authorities in
both countries have long stressed
the paramountcy of tonnage require
ments. Recent British losses of YES
sells carrying supplies from this side
have attained high proportions,
though the Nazis Systematically ex-
aggerate the actual total.
Mr.. Alexander contends that
never in the history of our sea power
have we had such need of hundreds
of ships and men," Evidently, with
springs approach, the First Lord en-
visions conditions comparable with
those of March, 1917, when U-boats
were devastating the British mer-
chant fleet at the rate of 100000 to
100000 tons a month, causing fears
that April would see 100000 tons de-
stroyed. The House of Commons
acceded unquestioningly to Mr.. Alex
ander's request for huge, though un-
specified, sums for new shipping and
requisite personnel and stores. He
called for supreme efforts by ship
yard workers to grapple with the
peril to Britain's life line.
While these revelations appear to
concern primarily merchant craft,
the Admiralty chief hints that the
Royal Navy needs replenishments,
too. Stating that the fifty American
destroyers received last year "have
already done good work." and that
warships coming into service in 1941
would of themselves make up a
formidable force, judged by almost
any other naval powers standards"
Mr.. Alexander added that "the great
body of the feet of August, 1889, re-
mains intact" But, with acquisition
of French bases, German submarines
"are now close to their hunting
grounds" while the enemy's Luft-
waite is enabled to prey upon our
conveys far out at sea-"
If anything were needed to i'm
press Congress with the urgency of
passing the id-to-Britain bill with
the minimum of delay, these dis
closures should serve that purpose.
Our own ShipyardS and aircraft in
dustry must hum with the same in
tensive activity which Britain's own
plant is called upon to generate, if
the battle of the Atlantic is to be
won. That the American people rec
ognize the grim necessity of such
endeavors by the arsenal of democ-
racy" is incontestable. They will be
impatient with any conditions which
initiate against translation of the
Nations will into speedy and sub
stantial results.

This year the wheat srowers

ICES the Corporation 10 deduct

These changes and the note
