The Red Sea itself has never
been declared a combat zone by
President Roosevelt. The zone
established by him in that area
was at the entrance TO the Gulf

vent the entry Of American ships

Italian forces IN Ethiopia, the
President removed the ban on the
grounds that major military oper-
atoms in that area had ceased.

DECLARED BLOCKADE ZONE

Germany declared the Red Sea
"a blockade zone many weeks ago.
However. President Roosevelt Al
his press conference last Friday
pointed out that under interna-
tional law blockade is not
recognized unless it has been
made effective by the blockading
power. He was referring TO the
area off Iceland in which the
Greer was attacked, but officials
believe that he will adopt the
same attitude in respect to the
Red Sea.
A steady stream OF American
ships has been carrying war sup
plies TO the British forces in
North Africa. but it had never
been disclosed that the hips
actually were entering the Red
Sea. g 1t had been thought that
the American vessels were going
only as far as the Gulf of Alden.
Apart from saying that the
crew is safe, Kinks message gave
few details of the incident. A
fuller report is expected from him
today. The vessel was launched
at Kearny, N. j.. in 1921 and Is
listed in the maritime register as
carrying crew Of SO.
Kinks first message did not dis
close whether the Seafarer was

charged its cargo and was leaving

RECOGNITION DUE

Not long ago manufacturer was ask
ed to take defense contract which meant
the stoppage of ordinary production at
one of his plants and its transfer to an
other He took the contract. He was told
he would do we'll to produce a single unit
in six months. He produced in very much
less time. In June se probably will eX-
ceed the quota that the government hoped
that he might reach in July.
Another manufacturer is renting
plant at an outlay of severa! hundred
thousand dollars a year. He has been
paying that rent for some months be-
cause the government told him to get
ready to turn out additional defense
goods In due time the government will
give him details and no doubt q contract
1t has not yet, but meanwhile the manu-
facturer has signed lease and is paying
rent.
These are just two instances of the
kind of effort industry is putting into
the defense program. They could be
multiplied scores of times. These things
occur so often that we grow to expect
them as a matter of course. The indus
trialists themselves seem to think they
are all in days work.
Just the same it would be nice if more
of us took time to learn about and give
recognition to the good jobs that are be-
ing done 1t would be particularly nice
if more people in Washington would do
that.
The Washington dispatches are carry
ing too much of the contrary impression.
We hear about the necessity for high
taxes as though every man who had de-
Tense contract was trying to make MIL
lions. That is not true. We hear about
enforced priorities as though every man
ufacturer was in some kind OF plot to
continue his regular business at all haz-
ards That is not true. We hear about
price crackdowns as though all hands
had to be forcibly prevented from prof
iteering. And that is not true.
No government ever received from in
dustry a higher degree of cooperation
than Washington is getting today. RecOg-
milton is due and should be given.

crews of husky stunt men are es-
pecially appreciative of this loca-
tion trip. Most sea pictures these
days are made in studios with imi-
taton ships on painted oceans. In
midafternoon the company swarms
into water taxis and scoots to the
dock at Catalina's isthmus. At the
cove is a fleet of canoes, three of
them made by Indians and looking
more Hollywooden than the half
dozen made in the Universal shops.
Ashore, besides the cabins and
tent houses and main lodge of the
little resort colony, are reminders
of other pictures filmed there. One
is a thatched hut from 'Mutiny on
the Bounty which Lloyd directed.
A few days after the ship is cap
tured by Indians the whole comp

line looks more like Oregon. Of

Burying The Industrial Hatchef

and in that same boat are all the
American people and the way of
life We have loved. The plainest
common sense says: Don't rock
the boat!' ...-
Two things the American peo-
pie are in no mood to tolerate:
l. Strikes run to further poln-
teal policies formed abroad, and
strikes called for trivial reasons, or
without completely exhausting ev-
cry effort to adjust reasonable
grievances and to align wages just
ly with changing living conditions
without making them a leader, in
rising price spiral
2. Any effort to use the emer-
gency to smash unions, to block
and nullify genuine collective bar
gaining or legitimate organizing ef--
fort. -.
Let us not deceive ourselves. We
are not going to achieve a COM
pletely strikeless industrial situa-
ton devoid of all labor controversy.
Britain has not achieved it. and
there is good reason to doubt that
Germany and Russia have achieved
complete Industrial concord, even
though by force they are able To
prohibit actual strikes
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-06

Every organized worker, and ev-
cry man who has a responsible di-
rective position in industry ought
to clip out and paste in his hat
these words from President Roose-
velt's Unlimited National Emer-
gency' speech:
"A nationwide machinery for
conciliation and mediation of in
dustrial disputes has set up. That
machinery must be used promptly
and without stoppage of work.
Collective bargaining will be re-
tained, but the American people
expect that impartial recommended
tions of our government services
will be followed both by capital and
by labor
There is no disagreement about
arming the nation. ISolationists
agree that we must be armed to
the teeth. So do interventionists.
Both agree that it must be done
with utmost speed. Unity on this:
the job must be pushed relentlessly
forward at increasing speed, with
out interruption.
Unless this job is done, organized
labor is finished Privately owned
Industry is finished. Both are in
the same boat in this emergency,

HOLLYWOOD, June 6,-Bushy-
browed Frank Lloyd, who has di-

must rank as admiral of the Holly
wood fleet. has sailed again-this
time in the three-masted schooner
Metha Nelson and on a voyage
charted along the Catalina channel.
The picture is still untitled since
no movieman would dream of US
ing the name of Gilbert Gabriel'S

the scenario was written. It's sort
of nautical western, period OF 1910,
involving a trip around the Horn
to open up the Oregon fur trade,
and the capture of the ship by In
dams OF course, there's a beautiful
gal aboard, cabaret singer who
had thought she was slowing away
on ship bound for France.
All the realism is here that any
nautical movie fan could want. The
ship is completely rigged and has
a working crew of real sailing men.
True. it's being towed back and forth
by a tug, but that's just efficiency.
This way, with the tugboat at tine
other end of a thousand feet of
hawser, they don't have to worry
about i'll winds.

ration of this voyage, the schooner

the role.
Franchot Tone and Carol Bruce
she being the fascinating singer
shanghaied by Universal from the

plenty of competition. Director
Lloyd calls everyone by his char

From San Pedro harbor to the
ship is almost a three-hour run in
a bounding water taxi but it's
worth it, The sails are clean, the
water clear, the company colorful.
Almost everybody has a camera of
