AMERICAN DIET

few years ago Sir John Orr shocked the
British by telling them that they were under
Now our own Federal Surplus Com
modities Corporation publishes a report which
raises the question whether we have the right to
talk of food surpluses and if we are not grossly
If the nation as a whole is not eating enough
70 keep itself in good health, the quality of what
it eats cannot be high. The food experts are GER
tainly of that mind. They protest against the
removal of vitamins from flour, the molasses-
hominy y-salt-pork diet of the South which causes
pelagra, our preference for processed foods that
have been stripped of essential chemical values.
To them the remedy is clear. Restore the vita
minis and the minerals and all will be well.
All this assumes knowledge which we are
far from possessing. The truth is that the science
of vitaminology is still so young that it IS only
learning to walk. Time and time again it has
turned out that, to be effective, one vtamin must
be supplemented by another and that vitamns
actually fight each other under some conditions.
The studies made in England of white flour fortl-
fled with vitamin B1 indicate that deficiency dis
eases are not so simple as they SEEM When the
of vitamns we still lack is at our COM
mand it may become necessary to control the pres
ervatiOn, processing and packaglng OF food as
as we control the quality of drugs.
If ever we had an abuse OF science and tech
nology it is in the matter of preparing food for
the eye rather than for the stomach. 1t is credit
to society that it has invoked chemistry and en-
gineering to impoverlsh rather than to enrich
food, and that the supposedly backward peasant
of Europe, who must content himself with crust
of black but wholesome bread of his own baking,
and such vegetables as he himself can raise, is
physically better off than are our own farmers,
who are as dependent on the store for canned
fruits, vegetables and flour as the the workers Of
our industrial communities.

IN THE CAPTIVE NATIONS

CREATION of a new state police in Norway,
~ under command of the Norwegian who sur
rendered Narvk without fight, marks another
stage in the struggle of the German invaders
against the natural resentment which their con-
quest has brought upon them. The old police
way is reported to be quite out of control both
of the German military forces stationed there
and the Norwegian puppets they installed to aid
them in ruling the populace. The sending of
native guards to protect German military estab-
lishments merely produces a concentration of
sabotage efforts against the establishments thus
"protected"
We hear most about the German difficulties
in Norway because Of the proximity of the SYM
pathetic Swedes who have their means Of get
ting information out Of neghboring country
which many of them, had they been permitted,
would have fought to save. But it is the same
story in Holland, in Belgium-Which learned in
the last war how to make life difficult for the
aliens in possession without getting caught at
it-and in occupied France. Whenever chance
offers to let the outside world know the true state
of existence in these territories there slips out
some instance of ingenious recalcitrance which
shows the German propaganda depicting resigned
and notified populations to be the Grimm's fairy
tales they undoubtedly are. In Paris, just now,
there is epidemic of arrests in restaurants and
cafes designed to curb whispering campaign"
by which news unlicensed by the occupying au-
thorties is spread among the populace Why are
the Germans afraid of whispers?
The fact is that the legacy of hate taken on by
the Nazis with their conquests grows with their
continued presence amid the conquered. The over
lords must stay, sitting on the lid, well knowing
that the ferment beneath becomes more intense
and that any relaxation of the force that holds
it down. even should that force be urgently needed
elsewhere, may produce an explosion.

HALF OF IDLE LAST MARCH
RESIDENTS OF SEVEN STATES

Washington, D. C. 0LNS).-More
than half of the 5,11O,000 unemployed
men and women seeking work in the
last week of March, 1910, were in
seven states, the Census Bureau re-
ports on the basis of preliminary
figures based on a cross-section of the
1910 census.
The seven states were Massachu-
sets, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Illinois and California.
These states have only Al per cent of
the total population but SO per cent
Of all unemployed were found in them.
New York and Pennsylvania account
ed for more than a fourth of the to-
tai. The proportion of those seeking
work was lowest in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia,
South Dakota, Alabama, Virginia,
Iowa and Nebraska.

DLATORY TACTICS WELL
CHARACTERIZED

EMPLOYERS have been quick to castigate
- strikers for the use of the drastic st-down
strike. But recently new phrase in the language
of collective bargaining was addcd-the ''stand-up
strike'-by II. H. Broach, business representa-
tive of New York City Local 3, International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who used the
colorfu phrase to characterize recalcitrant en-
poyer who pretends to abide by the National La
Dor Relations Act but in reality refuses to come
to any working agreement with the representa-
tives of its employees.
Broach used this expression to describe the
tactics of the Leviton Manufacturing Company,
which when compelled to bargain collectively with
the union simply went through the motions, thus
making farce Of the Wagner Act.
''Datory tactics are reprehenSiblc whether in
duged in by labor or management" Broach said.
"When an employer carries out such activities it
should be called Stand-up strike"
In the case of the LevitOn workers. LOO New
York strikers are being stood up by Mr.. Lcviton
for fair wages, decent working conditions and rep
resentation by genuine A. +. of l.. union.
The phrase "Stand-up strike" seems an apt
expression Of the tactics Of a stalling employer

age of labor

Federal Court Upholds
Wages And Hours Law

Boston (ILNS)-The Federal wage
hour law is constitutional, the First
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals de-
cided in the first ruling of its kind
The decision, which was unanimous,
came in the case of the Eastern Sugar
Associates of Puerto Rico, involved
in a dispute with their employees. The
company charged that the employees
were not affected by the law and that
the law was unconstitutional
The Circuit Court upheld a Federal
District Court decision in which Pablo
Gonzalez and other employees were
held to be covered by wage-hour law
requirements.
The company contended that since
Gonzalez and other workers were en-
ployed in the general process of
harvesting, cutting and grinding cane
in the manufacture of sugar they
came under an agricultural classifi-
cation.

SHOWING THE WAY

TlIE Navy Department is giving the answer to
the charges that the 1O-hour week, set under
the Fair Labor Standards Act, is rctardng defense
output.
Production at Navy Yards throughout the
United States is being stepped up by placing them
on a 24-hour, three-shift schedule, with employees
working 18 hours weekly. Overtime is being paid
for the eight hours over the standard week.
Notable example Of the program, Secretary Of
the Navy Knox said, is the Washington Navy
Yard where production has been trebled since
July
Private industry engaged on defense orders
can also operate on three shifts, as some indus
triastS pointed out months ago number are
already doing this. The plan effectually dsposes
of the plant that the 4O-hour week holds up pro,
ducton.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

interest and discussion is made by
the American Youth Commission
Reporting that an alarmingly high
percentage of young men are being
rejected by the Selective Service
boards because of physical disabili-
ties, the commission is urging i'm
mediate establishment of special camps
for rejected draftees as part of a
large scale health program for the
physical reconditioning and develop
ment of American youth.
The commission, in a special report,
suggests that those youth willing to
participate might be brought up to
par sufficiently for entrance into the
Army, but in any event their ability
to maintain themselves as self-sup
porting citizens under the usual con-
ditions of civilian life would be en-
hanced.
X X X
In a belief that draft reflections
merely typify an underlying condi-
ton of unsatisfactory health in a
large segment Of the population, the
commission, of which Owen D. Young
is chairman and Matthew Woll is a
member, recommended adoption of a
nationwide health program for youth
"on a scale never before attempted in
this country" Equally important is a
recreational leisure-time program to
preserve and improve mental health
and morale.
owe dare not postpone such activi-
ties for the duration of the emer-
gency," the report, because there is
no reason to believe that the emer-
gency will be short. On the contrary,
it may last for years. The children and
youth growing up to adulthood will
undoubtedly face world in which
they will need all the preparation
that can meanwhile be given"
Surveys conducted by the American
Youth Commission staff have found
large numbers of youth soft, under
weight, and generally lacking in mus
cular development. Bad teeth, de-
fective eyesjght, and other similar un-
corrected physical defects are COM
mon. "Most Of these deficiencies" the
report asserts, "can be traced directly
to malnutrition, inadequate or no
medical or dental care, and the
generally bad living conditions to
which substantial part of the pop
ulation is exposed"
x X X
Eight major elements are needed
for nationwide health program, the
commission believes. They are CD
physical examinations, (2) remedial
attention and care for specific defects,
(3) food adequate in quality, abund
ance and variety, (4) physical work
or exercise, (5) adequate amounts of
sound sleep, CO. good environmental
conditions, CD recreation, and (S)
health education for self-directed
health habits.
Youth is now being served for the
most part by health programs in the
schools, by the Civilian Conservation
Corps and the National Youth Admin
istration programs, and in the mill
tary training camps in process of
formation. In connection with the
civilian federal agencies, the COM
missions report recommends that the
CCC work camps and similar resident
work training centers of the N. Y. A.
reduce their physical standards for
enrolment and make greater provis-
ion for the remedial care of the en-
rollees 1t is suggested that some of
the camps should be designated as
preliminary conditioning centers for
those unfit to begin work on projects
when first enrolled.

BASIC TO LABOR PEACE

A union contract, negotiated by representatives
chosen by the workers through their union
machinery and representatives, selected by man
agement, uniformly provides for Joint machinery
to adjust grievances growing out Of the operation
of the contract and also provided the machinery
and channels through which Cancellation and medi-
alton can operate.
Provision for representation of workers
through their unions for collective bargaining is
basic for the maintenance Of industrial peace.

FAIRBANKS, June 5 iP)-The local CIO union strike against the U. s. Smelling Company in Fair banks district became effective at five o'clock this afternoon when all union members, comprising 65 percent of the company's 760 production employees walked off th-ir jobs. Fires were pulled at the Company's large Fairbanks power plant which drives eight dredges and other large mechan- ized units, and the powerhouse is now picketed.
 In a statement to the local pr.ss this afternoon, the com pany's general manager, Roy Ear ling, announced that the Com pany will continue operations and all employees wishing. to re turn to work may do so.
