WA YES Chief Asks Women
To Stress Job to Be Done
By Lisbefh SoUinf

American women must accept the
humble but vital tasks of enlisted
personnel and not all strive to be-
come officers in the WAVES, 1t.
Comdr Mildred H. McAfee told the
Twentieth Century Club yesterday,
as she pleaded that woman appli-
cants concentrate on ''the job to be
done" and not on officers military
trappings and brass buttons.
LAS you may know, we have many
more applicants for officers than for
enlisted personnel" she said. Il
shall be bitterly disappointed in our
American women if they absolutely
must have the trappings and brass
buttons of officers in order to be
willing to serve their country. What
matters is the job to be done, not the
uniform.
Many women indicate that If
they can't be officers, they don't
want to join," she continued. ct is

be an officer and tell somebody else
what to do, but I am certainly not

As soon as the Women's Reserve
has received sufficiently large

McAfee, additional new training

country. Formerly president of

parently enjoys thoroughly the
speed with which the Navy operates.
"At Wellesley" she remarked, we
would begin about this time of the
year to think of the courses and
programs for the school season
starting year hence. Then we
would print the program the follow

the hands Of prospective students
that spring. In the Navy, however,
you decide today to open school.
Tomorrow you hire the necessary
buildings. The third day you set up

you engage the entire faculty. Then.
on the fifth day, your school is all

BY LEON PEARSON.
First OF a Series.)

MEXICO CITY, June ls.-The
people of Mexico today are making
their own declaration of war against
the Axis. The government declared
war June l, by unanimous vote of
both houses of che Congress, but the
people still bided their time. The
change has come only in the last few
days.
There was breath-taking period
when the government was out ahead
of the people. Though few people
actually desired German victory
they wanted Mexico to keep hands
of But the government had taken
position from which there was no
turning back. The note of protest
against the sinking of two Mexican
ships was an ultimatum, and when
Germany declined even to receive
the protest, there was no alternative
but declaration of war.
Foreign Minister Padilla had sent
the note with the full approval of
President Avila Camacho. But when
the issue of declaring war was thrust
upon the government, four members
of the cabinet expressed their dis
approval. Ex-President CardenaS

posed the declaration Of war or the
granting Of powers. To be sure,
some of the members absented
themselves, but in doing SO they
saw fit to leave the city completely.
The pro-war sentiment was running
too strong for opposition.
The Germans had misjudged their
Mexico. They thought that by sink
ing the two Mexican tankers they
would not only cut of that much
oil from the United States, but
would also put a scare into Mexico.
But when the flag which every
Mexican loves with patriotic fervor
was dragged down into the waters OF
the Gulf, wave Of unity swept the
country like that which swept the
United States after Pearl Harbor.
Seine Blamed America.
There was moment, however,
when some persons blamed the
United States for sinking the ships.
This fantastic notion was credit
to the success Of German prop
aganda. For years, the Germans
have poured money into Mexico to
keep fresh the old wounds of anti
Yanquis" feeling. Certain Mexican
newspaper editors believed-and SO
wrote in the press-that the future
Of Mexico lay in German conquest
In the present war, to liberate,
Mexico from "Yanquis imperialism"
The crew of the tanker "Faja de
Oro." like many humble Mexicans,
were so far persuaded of Germanys
good intentions toward Mexico that
when the ship was sunk they con-
cluded the attacking submarine
must have been American. This was
promptly dismissed as an absurdity,
however, and feeling began to shift
at oncee.
The change was observed by the
American Embassy here, which
watches the reaction of cinema
patrons. For long time, German
agents had stimulated demonstra-
tons in cinema houses against all
things American, British or Russian.
But after the tanker sinkings, a
newsreel was displayed in Mexico
City which had shots of President
Roosevelt pinning medal on Brig.
Gen. Doolittle. There were no boos
this time. The crowd roared their
applause.

liberate manner, however, to ask for

Support Solidified.
Gradually the support solidified
Persons who had been sniping at
Minister Padilla for his "pro-Yan-
quis" declarations at Rio and Wash
ington became silent. Even the
Sinarquistas, who have been bitterly
anti-American and anti-Soviet, is
sued declaration of loyalty to Avila
Camacho and Roosevelt.
Now the change is complete-and
miraculous. The cabinet is unified.
Warning labor factions have clasped
hands. The people cry Viva Roose-
velt!" and after the latest naval
victory in the Pacific many were
heard to say, Look what we did at
Midway"
The most miraculous change is the
unity in the labor field. The CTM
Confederation of Mexican Workers.
and the GROIN Regional Confeder-
alton of Mexican Workers. have
been engaged in an internecine
quarrel like that of the CIO and
AFL in the United States. But now
these unions, and others, have put
aside their differences for the dura-
ton.
A recent newspaper cartoon por-
trayed four feminine figures stand
ing together with hands claSped and
the Mexican flag flying overhead
Each figure was marked with the
initials of a labor union-CTM,
GROIN, COCM, CGT. And the cap
ton read "Bajo Una Bandera Unica"
Under a Single Flag"
Outlaws Strikes.
Their pact involves a pledge to
outlaw strikes for the duration, and
the pledge Is almost completely OBJ
served. On the fashionable Passo
de la Reforma, across the entrance
of a night club, there still flies the
red and black flag of labor-mean-
ing the club is closed by strike. But
this is merely local issue and one
which began before the war. The
Nationwide strikes of railway work.
ers and miners-strikes which have
bled the economy of Mexico-are a
thing Of the past.
To be realistic, one must recog-
nize that some part of the new
loyalty is a bow to the vast powers
of the president. The newspaper
Excelsior, which was described six
months ago by a United States con-
gressional committee as definitely
pro-Nazi," now gives prominent dis
play to news of United Nations sue
cesses, and plays down the German
liberation theme. President Avila
Camacho has complete power to
suspend publication OF any news
paper, in the interest Of national
defense.
The new unity is mixture Of
patriotism and obedience. Avila
Camacho is a war president. and
his powers are unbounded. When
he asked for a declaration of war,
he also asked for specific war
powers, and for the suspension Of
IA fundamental constitutional guar
antees, including freedom of the
press, freedom of assembly, and
the writ of habeas corpus. The
war powers Of President Avila Ca
macho are far greater than the war
powers of Roosevelt.
His request was granted by con-
gress without a dissenting vote. In
fact, of all the speeches made be-
fore the vote was taken, none op-
