and rehabilitation work. Every
year Boy Scouts in various sec-
tons Of the country render aid
in local emergencies. But In 1921
the public again heard Of their
deeds when the Knickerbocker
Theatre burned in Washington,
D. c., and when floods In Pueblo,
Colo. and San Antonio. Tex,
caused widespread damage and
homelessness.
MOTTO "BE PREPARED"
Their service In such catastro-
phies added to the experience
and the reputation of the Boy
Scouts. In 1916 Congress grant
ed q Federal Charter to the or
ganization on the basis of their
service record. The nation had
accepted the truth of the motto,
BE Prepared" America had
come to depend on the Boy
Scouts. In the years following,
they again and again justified
this trust. In 1926, for example,
they did outstanding work In the
Florida hurricane and the Ar
kansas flood. On the heels at
these stirring events came the
flood disasters in 1927 in Miss
issippi and Vermont. In the same
year st. Louis was struck by .
tornado and called upon the
Scouts Of that area. In 1888
when they showed remarkable
discipline and ability in serving
hurricane-stricken New England.
Throughout the country, Boy
Scout service has run the gamut
from train wrecks to finding lost
children, a. well as In rnajor ca
tastrophes.

UNJUSTIFIED DISCRIMINATION

ATTORNEY GENERAL Francis Biddle rightly
declares there is no reason in the world why
loyal citizens either aliens or Americans of for
eign birth, should not be employed by American
Industry. "There is no possible justification for
discharging such employees and the Federal Gov
ernment condemns such determinations and urges
Jail employers not to adopt such policy" he says
Then Mr. Biddle goes on to say some things
that will need emphasizing in the months and per
haps years to come. He says:
'War threatens all civil rights and although
we have fought wars before, and our personal
freedoms have survived, there have been periods
of gross abuse, when hysteria and hate and feal
ran high, and when minorties were unlawfuy
and cruelty abused. Every man who cares about
freedom, about government by law-and all free
dom is based on fair administration of the law
must fight for it for the other man with whom he
dsagrees, for the right Of the minority, for the
chance for the under-privieged with the same pas
sion of nsistence as he claims for his own rights
"If we care about democracy, we must care
about it as reality for others as well as for our
selves; yes, for aliens, for Germans, for Italians
for Japanese, for those who with us as well as
those who against US; for the Bill of Rights
protects not only American citizens but all human
beings who live on our American soil, under our
American flag. The rights of Ango-Saxons, of
Jews, of Catholics, of Negroes, of Slavs, Indians
all are alike before the law. And this we must re-
member and sustan-that is if we really love JUS
tice, and really hate the bayonet and the whip and
the gun, and the whole Gestapo method as a way
of handling human beings"

NcNUTT SEES NO DANGER
OF WARTIME TYRANNY

New York City QLNS).-There is
little danger, even in wartime, of
tyranny or Capitalization in the
United States, or even of chat vague
thing called domination by Washing
tom" Paul V. McNutt, Federal Sc
curity Administrators, said here.
"There is equally little probability
that any power-Federal, State or
local, public or private-will long per-
sist unless it renders service to the
people of America" he added. "And
war, in the long run, will not kill old
powers-Federal or State-or create
new ones. 1t merely speeds up the in
evitable processes of creation or
death"
McNutt spoke at the joint annual
meeting of the American Political
Science Association and the American
Society for Public Administration.

LABOR RESPONDS

WE HAVE had our quarrels with the profes-
w sOnal leaders of organized labor and we still
think this stable is much in need Of thorough
cleanng-a matter Of internal reform quite apart
from the question of defense strikes which, OF
course will no longer be much of a problem if any
But we have never doubted the essential de-
cency and patriotism Of the average individual
American worker. Now that war is an actuality
his response has been instant Here are a few
samples taken from one newspaper on one day
Foundry workers of the Portsmouth Navy Yard
volunteered to work Sunday without pay; workers
of the David Bradley Manufacturing Co., Kan
kakee H., offered to work extra day each week
and donate their pay for that day to the Govern
ment; workers in the Iockland plant of Wright
Aeronautical Corp worked an eight-hOur Sunday
shift and will donate more than 100000 OF wages
to the Governments at the AGA Aviation Corp.
IIatborO, Pa. The men worked New Years Day
and turned over their pay to the Government;
local Of the United Mine Workers Union collected
2,282 from fines imposed on members for an un-
authorized strike and has sent the money to the
Government
You will hear much more Of this sort Of thing
What is more important, YOU will see team
spirit" develop, with inter-plant and inner plant
competition TO set production awards. These free
men are going to do a production Job that Ger
many'5 wage slaves can never match.

CIVIL RIGHTS IN WAR

IN THE BILL of Rights Review Attorney Gen
eral Biddle's paper, read at the National Confer
ence of Social Work, appears under the title civil
Rights in Times of Stress" The fact that it was
written before entry into makes it not less
but even more pertinent to the greater stress to
which the country is now exposed. Mr.. Biddle re-
country was neither at peace nor at war, there was
ga deep sense of frustration.' There were excited
busybodies. Little societies of vigilantes sprang
up.
This feeling quieted down. The registration OF
aliens was peaceable and urbane The draft was
supported everywhere. The conscientious objec-
tors made little trouble Injurious gossip about
ones neighbors has diminished. Of one cruelty of
war; begun in the last months of the peace, the
ostracism of aliens guilty only of having names
derived from nations with which we are at war
there is still too much Let us hope that good
sense, rising intelligence and feeling of justice
will end this shameful boycott.
AS to the community at large, Mr.. Bddle COM
forts it. Unless the writ of habeas corpus is sus-
pended, the citizen has lost constitutional
rights. He is still protected by the laws. The
courts still sit to enforce them. That writ has not
been suspended since Mr.. Lincoln's time 1t was
not suspended in the last World War. During this
war there should be repetition here of the out
rages of it's predecessor, the prosecutions, the
purging of Legislature, acts of Stiffness and Op-
preston it is not pleasant to look back upon In
tolerance, violence, arrogance of race" in the
United States are peculiarly loathsome. These are
the doctrines and the practices of the nations we
are fighting.

MONEY IN BOARDING

VNHE VOLUME of money in circulation" has
Just risen above 100000 600 for the first
time in history This represents rise of more
than $4,000, 600 in the past twelve months and
an increase of nearly $5OO0OO,O00 in the past
month. Obviously no such enormous sum as this
is actually "n circulation very large part of it
must be in boarding. Even allowing for the in
crease in business activity and in payrOls, this is
far more coin and currency than is needed. 1t is
nearly three times as much as required to do
the business Of the country in the boom years of
the Twenties.
Hoarding is always foolish. 1t is especially so
Just now Currency tucked under the mattress is
no better than money in the bank, and a lot less
safe. Any notion that there is an advantage in
having currency rather than a bank deposit in a
time cf imitation is absurd. Neither form Of money
is convertible into gold; both equally converti-
bic into goods and services. But there is, apparent
ly a notion that the Government may commander
savings for the war effort. No such idea has ever
been broached as the Treasury has made clear.
There has been talk unoficially Of compulsory
savings" That has nothing to do with taking peo-
pies savings deposits away. 1t means deduction
from the regular pay envelope of money to be tenn
porarily invested in Government securities and to
be paid back after the war. No amount of boarding
would have any bearing on such a plan II 1T were
ever adopted here as it has been in England.

are so large But it is a foolish and, in the larger
sense, mpatrlOtlC practice

"ECONOMY" ARGUMENT BLASTED

RUTHLESS SLASlllNG of appropriations for
~ non-defense spending by the Government is de-
servedly denounced by Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin in his minority report opposing recommen-
dations of the Joint Economy Committee. Senator
La Toilette goes down the line, pointing out the
of the proposals for abolition of vari
Gus worthwhile government activities.
TO take one example, La Toilette criticizes the
proposed abolition of peacetime activities of the
National Youth Administration, declaring that the
recommendation was based upon "a dangerously
false conception" of defense activities, and "a mis-
taken belief that the war situation permits the
Federal Government to shirk obligations which it
could not afford to neglect in peacetime''
"lf it is necessary to preserve the morale of
youth when the nation is not in danger he added,
''it is doubly important when the national security
is at stake
La Toilette reported that 10000 young persons
were now receiving experience and training in hos
pital and health work, and that thousands more
were needed to meet the increasing demands for
the replacement of those going into military serv-
ice and overseas.
During the eleven-month period, from January
through November, he stated, nearly 100000
youths were enabled to leave NYA projects to take
private employment.

FREE ENTERPRISE GOES TO WAR

I'llE PRESIDENT has said that this country
must now operate on a seven-day produc-
ton basis, and that all basic industries must be
expanded rapidly as possible.
The people may be sure that private enterprise
of America will do precisely that. And it will do it
swiftly, willingly. That is the great and unbridee-
able difference between a democracy and a die
tatorship. In dictatorship, great production is
attained by force, terror, brutality. The people
are never taken into the confidence of their gov
ernment They are simply told what to do and
swift and ruthless punishment follows if they fall.
In democracy, the government belongs to the
people, and leadership is given to it as grant of
the people. When the government calls for sacri-
flee and effort without precedent, the people re-
spond with faith and courage, not with fear.
The oil and coal will come from the ground in
a tremendous torrent. The generators will whI
without ceasng in the utility plants. The furnaces
will glow brighter in the steel mills. The assembly
lines will quicken their tempo in the factories
where planes and tanks and other weapons are
made.
Free enterprise is ready for whatever may
come.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1942-01-08

THE HEADS Of the principal labor unions have
pledged themselves to prevent strikes and
speed production for the duration of the war That
was only to be expected. Now it remains to be
seen whether labor leaders will actually live up to
the tremendous obligations imposed by an all-out
war.
The action Of the head Of an independent labor
union in threatening to call iurisdictlona strike
on the same day declared war on Japan was
one of the most disGracCful episodes in American
history. War no war, national defense or no
national defense, certain labor malcontentS are
still determined to press their demands at the ex-
pense Of national safety.
The American people will provide the answer
to that They will back up the President and Con-
gress in any action that is taken to keep produc-
ton going and increasing. This country never
in greater danger And no group or class will be
permitted to deliberately make that danger even
greater.
Labor has its chance now. 1t will produce or it
will bring Itself punitive measures to outlaw
strikes. The temper Of the people Is clear
