nautical experts, and they are said
to have submitted an unfavorable
report on the Kaiser project to Dom
aid Nelson, production chief.
But Mr.. Nelson, although he will
not have the final word on the con-
tract question, is not apt to base his
own decision-which may be ex-
pected to carry great weight-soleiy
on this committee report. He has
said repeatedly that he awaits a
showing Of what Mr.. Kaiser can do,
and that he will support the latter's
efforts to secure a contract If the
facts indicate that the shipbuilder
can also make helpful contribution
in the plane manufacturing field. BY
implication, of course, this is tanta-
mount to saying that he will oppose
the Kaiser plan If he is not rea-
sonably satisfied that its sponsor can
do the job the way 1t should be done.
1t would be better for the country
if the matter could be finally dis
posed of on that coldly factual basis.
But the probabilities are that too
much heat has been generated by the
parties to the dispute to permit of
any such happy ending.

Gold Mines of Scrup

The need for scrap metal is a
serious one, and communities all
over the United States are going to
do their best to meet it. What a
wonderful opportunity to get rid of
things that are valueless to the indi-
vidual citizen, but almost worth their
weight in gold in the production of
steel! II adequate means can be
provided to haul the scrap from
homes and farms, mountains of it
will rise all over the country to be
fed into the furnaces. Two furnaces
closed In the Chicago area yesterday
for lack of scrap. More of them will
close this winter If the scrap is not
cclected.
The Smithsonian Institution has
set an excellent example for the
citizens in turning over to the junk
man old World War cannon and other
armament, suddenly transformed by
need from useless relics to valuable
sources Of metal
The District government might
follow suit with a smashing collec-
ton of street signs, more than half
of which are wholly unnecessary and
only confusing. Look out of car
window as you pass along the street
and examine these signs. Their
number alone Is incredible. They
are contradictory in their directions,
they disf1gure the trees and lamp
posts and they utterly confuse any
body who seriously tries to read
them all. They are the product of
years of loose, indiscriminate sign
posting. But they would furnish
good metal now and rid the streets
of common nuisance.
To make Washington's own cam
paign successful, citizens must cult
vate the habit of looking for metal
that would serve a more useful pur-
pose as scrap than the purpose it
serves in it's present form. The
heavy stanchions that designate
Shipping Entrance-No Parking"
ought to 60 on the junk pile. At the
rate we are consuming rubber tires
now, the automobiles available for
parking are rapidly diminishing.
Shipping entrances could be other
wise designated.
This hunt for scrap is real neces-
sity. And, as so much scrap is junk
to the owner, now is the time to get
rid Of 1t.

men refuse to walk together and to re-
gard with mutual respect each others
interests and concerns This has like
application to labor as to MANAGEMENT.
Where the ranks Of labor are divided and
IN conflict is quite as serious As where
there are cleavages between management
and labor.
Whether We have recognized it or not,
God has designed that equity, Justice
and fair play shall be the governing
rules in the game of life. When Jesus
Christ gave His second great command,
He submitted the one basic principle that
should govern all human relations: Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thysef."
The denial Of this has brought on a situ-
alton in our world that suggests chaos.
AS matter OF fact, there has been little
OF Christ's rule Of life in our modern
world. Men have thought themselves too
clever to recognize any rule other than
the one that served their selfish inter-
ests. A universal catastrophe will GER
tainly shock all OF us out Of our conceits
and change many OF the ways that we
have selnshly followed. We are to be
compelled to recognize that. If We are to
walk together In peace and amity. yes,
and for our common interests. we must
be agreed, We once agreed to make this
Nation democracy but as yet We are far
from our goal. Now We are in titanic
struggle to preserve 1t. Suddenly, as a
way OF life 1t has become very precious
to US. Is 1t not the time to review all our
relations, all our policies and practices?
Shall We not discover a method by which,
in every relationship We shall be more
just, yes and generous in our dealings,
one with another? Shall we not find that
agreement Is only possible when We walk
together, not as enemies. but as friends?
We are bound together for better or
worse, for richer or poorer, hence the
sooner We learn the ways of equity and
justice, yes, the Christian way of living
together. the sooner shall We approximate
the only profitable and consistent way Of
life. Can two walk together except
they be agreed7"

From the Gross Roots

A good many editors from the
country's grass roots" were in Wash
ington last week They came to hear
the Government appeal through
Donald Nelson, for the collection OF
scrap metal But they did a lot OF
talking among themselves concern
ing the state of mind of the country,
as they see it. And some Of their
observations are interesting here in
Washington, where we are so close to
the trees that we do not always see
the woods.
There is not much interest in the
fall elections, Contests here and
there involve local issues-as al
ways-which take the center Of the
stage. But national politics-how
man stood on preparedness before
Pearl Harbor, whether he voted for
the fortiflcation of Guam-such
questions are cold potatoes now.
Elmer Davis metaphor, that the Ma
ton is only ankle deep in this war,
is in a sense true. But the people,
generally speaking, are in it up to
their necks-in the war, not in the
pre-war controversy.
For one thing, hundreds OF thou
sands of families all over the land
have sons in the Army, Navy or Ma
rines. Some of them have fathers in
the service. The Middle West may
have been isolationist In sentiment
before the war. But sons Of the
Middle West are In Australia and
Iceland; they were in the battle OF
the Coral Sea; at Midway and In the
solomons. Their parents know It,
The neighbors know 1t. The war may
never get any closer to them than
1t is right now.

Mr.. Koiser's Return

Henry j. Kaiser, West Coast ship
builder, will return to Washington
this week for what presumably is to
be a final showdown with Govern
ment officials on his plan or plans
for constructing a large fleet OF
cargo-carrying airplanes. The meet
ing probably will not be tranquil
affair
Mr. Kaiser's approach to the mat
ter of securing a contract has not
been made along conventional lines.
Ordinarily, man seeking Govern
ment contract goes to the proper
officials. closes the deal, and then, il
there is to be any publicity, an an
nouncement is given out for publica-
ton. The case with Mr.. Kaiser has
been different. He entered the ranks
of prospective plane builders with a
speech in one of his shipyards, where
merchant vessels have been turned
out with astonishing rapidity. This
was followed by trip to Washing
ton, appearances before congress
sional committees, press conferences
and interviews. The result of all this
has been that Mr. Kaiser's bid to
become an airplane manufacturer,
instead of being handled in a busi-
nesslike manner, has become some
thing of a political issue. The merits
of his proposal, If it is meritorious,
have received scant consideration in
published comments. Unfortunately,
those who believe in Mr.. Kaisers
plan, and those who are skeptical,
have been too busy broadcasting
charges of bad faith and denials to
get down to the real facts OF the mat
ter.
But. through all this hubbub, the
basic question has remained the
same. And that is, first, whether Mr.
Kaiser can build the planes he says
he can build, and, second, whether
he can do so without disrupting the
plane-building program already laie
down. AS yet, there has been NJ
factual answer to either OF these
questions, but they must be answered
before there can be an intelligen
decision to award him contract O.
reject his proposal.
Presumably these answers Will b.
forthcoming this week. Mr.. Kaise
has been asked to bring back u

for the airplanes he proposes to buil'
and a definite statement as to Wher
and how he expects to get the mate
rails and the labor that will b

neither shall he eat" is principle widely
recognized-never more so than in times
OF stress and strain. This is being forcibly
expressed in every public utterance.
Probably there is no situation In our
corporate life that occasions more Of mis-
understanding and conflict than this
whole question At times 1t issues in
strife and conditions that border on civil
war. It is true that there Is better spirit
today than We knew in former times but
we are still far from q satisfactory and
permanent basis Of agreement.
At times the church Is admonished
that, in SO delicate matter that involves
the minds Of our best economists. it is
unwise for 1t to express judgments or
opinions. We do not yield to such con-
ception Of its function. There are no
conditions that concern the well being
and happiness Of men in which the
church does not have just and proper
part. The Christian religion Is designed
to cover the whole range Of life. In no
place is this being more heroically mani
tested than in Norway. where the cour-
ageous bishops OF the church are refusing
to yield to Quisling government. There
Is one thing that is becoming more clear
ly evident in the present world conflict;
namely. that large and mighty readjust-
ments are coming once the nations are
at peace. In these readjustments the re-
lations between employer and worker will
occupy = conspicuous place. As suggest
ing a new kind Of relationship, the words
OF the prophet Amos are pertinent and
they might. with all propriety, be ad-
dressed to all elements In the struggle.
He asks this pertinent question: Can
two walk together except they be
agreed?" It is reminiscent OF that other
word: "A house divided against itself
shall not stand" Obviously, there can be

essary either to leave American armies
at home, immobilizing them and their
equipment where they can't be Of any
Importance to the enemy, or to transport
those armies to battle fronts.
There already are about 5000, 900 men
in the British Empire under arms, partly
equipped. The Russians certainly re-
tain armies of at least 5,000, 900 men.
The Chinese have unlimited numbers OF
men who could be used against Japan
