japanese Charge

Extreme Warfare
Toxic Says Allies
Ignored International
Law in Operations

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC CFrom japanese Broad
casts), March 20.-The japanese
Navy charged today that the
United States and Britain, since
the start of the war in the Pa
cific, had waged extreme war
fare based on retaliation and
hatred" and declared that Japan
would reciprocate.
Alleging that Japan's foes we're
employing tactics in disregard OF
international law, the navy promul-
gated an ordinance revising" its
warfare regulations which it said
were based on the London Declara-
tion of 1909 and precedents of inter
national law.
The precise nature of the revision
as we'll as the specific charges against
the United States and Britain we're
not given.
Navy Minister Admiral Shigetaro
Shimada announced the decision to
the cabinet while the government
took action to notify Japan,s foes
through neutral powers of the
decision.
Prof. Shigeharu Enomoto of the
naval academy, explaining the
new ordinance, said the imperial
navy desired to act justly under
international law, but that war is
by nature 'reciprocal' and therefore
he said, there is no reason for Japan
to adhere to warfare regulations
when her enemies disregard them.

Qualification Is Necessary

1t would be good thing for all
concerned if the Office of Price Ad-
ministration could get the gas rate
increase, as ordered by a majority
OF the Public Utilities Commission.
into court. For if any case ever
required clarification by separate
Judicial examination, this one does.
There are at least two distinct
issues involved. One is whether the
gas rate increase is justified by the
facts, as determined by the commits
slon's majority. The other is
whether there should be any increase
In public utility rates, regardless of
the justification, in view of the new
anti-inf1ation and stabilization pro-
gram of the National Government.
The commission majority consid-
cred both issues. 1t held that the
facts justified an increase in rates
and that such an increase would
have no inflationary tendencies.
Commissioner Hankin has vigorously
dissented from both findings. his
dissent going beyond any formal
disagreement with facts or reasoning
and seriously rejecting upon the
competency of his colleagues and
their conduct of the proceedings
In view of the OPAs evident agree
ment with Commissioner Hankins
conclusions, there should be some
Judicial review of the case.
During the hearings on the case,
the OPA representative opposed the
rate increase as inflationary. In it's
decision the commission majority
said that the rate increase would
result in an average increase of three
cents per month per customer, a total
increase of 2.28 per cent in excess of
rates for the preceding year, and that
the cost of living in the District would
be increased by 18th of per cent.
I'VE cannot conceive that such an
increase would have material infla-
tionary tendencies" the decision
said.
In his letter to the OPA directing
that effort be made to stay the in
crease and reopen the case, Director
OF Economic Sterilization Byrnes does
not suggest that the rate increase is
inf1ationary but does suggest that it
may be contrary to the national
stabllization program. If, in view
OF the background of this case, that
is correct, decision to that effect
would have extraordinary ramifca-
tions in all public utility regulation
and it is important that the matter
be definitely cleared up.

Puintbrush Controversy

The incompatibility of certain
union regulations with the necessi-
ties of war has been brought into
sharp focus through a recent ruling
by Circuit Judge George E. Holt of
Miami, Florida.
Judge Hollis ruling was issued in
the case of an attempt to impose
heavy union fines on members of
Miami Local 365, Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators and Paper
Hangers of America. Twenty men,
bers of the local were engaged in
painting 1877 buildings at an impor-
tant Army base near Miami, their
contract calling for the use Of
brushes. Anxious to speed up the
work so that the base could be put
into service, Army officials asked that
spraying machines be used on the
job instead of brushes. The painters
agreed to use the faster method after
they had been assured by the con-
tractor that they would be protected
against union penalties, and when
the union threatened to fine the men
$500 a day for violation of union
regulations, suit for an injunction
to forbid this punishment was filed.
In granting permanent restrain
ing order, Judge Holt took the posi-
ton that the contract provisions
calling for the slower and more costly
method of brush painting were not
binding because they interfered with
the effective prosecution of the war.
And, he added, the painters who de-
fled their union by using the spray
machines were loyal and patriotic"
Counsel for the AFL, with which
the painters union is affiliated, took
vigorous exception to the Judges
ruling. To grant such an injunction,
the AFL attorney contended, would
mark the first time in history that
court "had interfered with the in
ternal workings of union," and he
promised that the case would be car
ried to the Supreme Court.
1t remains to be seen how that
tribunal will treat the matter, should
Judge Hollis ruling come before it
for review. But it may be observed
without hesitation that the AFL will
find little support in the court OF
public opinion if it insists, at this
time, on Furnishing those of its men,
bers who want to contribute to the
winning of the war by discarding
time-wasting and work-spreading
methods when requested to do so by
the military authorities.

Another Flood

Inc Potomac River flood, which
is scheduled to reach its peak of
something under eighteen feet
today, is merely the latest of many
such freshets which originate in the
area above Cumberland, Maryland,
and sweep down the valley, leaving
death and great property destruction
in their wake.
The earliest recorded flood oc-
cured in 1779, and was described
as being of exceptional severity and
duration. 1t was during this flood
that the pent-up water cut a new
channel through the Virginia low
lands across from Georgetown, form
ing what came to be known as Ana
lostan Island. During the succeeding
century and half the river overran
its banks every few years, the extent
OF damage varying with the height
of the water.
Probably there are still many per-
sons in Washington who remember
the great flood of 1889, when Penn
sylvania avenue was under water
throughout most of the downtown
district. This was also the year of
the famous Johnstown flood, which
caused such heavy loss of life.
The present flood seems COM
parable to that in the spring of 1895,
when the river rose to approximately
the same level expected to be reached
today. Following this inundation of
six years ago, various enterprises
looking toward comprehensive
system Of flood control were started.
Some work was done to protect
low-lying areas around the city
and a survey of the upper river
valley was begun. But, as the present
rise of the river shows, no adequate
controls were installed, and until this
is done there will be no reason to
suppose that this will be the last of
the POtOmac's rampapeS.
