Col. I. Z. Doane of Bangor, Me.
a veteran of the last war, was
regimental commanding officer
and he was a great one. Loved by
every one for his courageous anC
optimistic outlook when the going
was the toughest, Colonel Doane
was especially appreciated by the
American airmen who served
under him on Bataan because OF
his sincere respect for the ali
corps. even though he was ar
infantry officer.

Finally. we fell back 10 the

LONDON. Nov. c3.-UP0-The
AXIS today is faced with the diff
cult question of deciding upon the
most effective counterblow to the
Allied offensive in North Africa,
but the United Nations are con-
fronted with the equally pressing
problem of how best to maintain
their newly won initiative and avoid
dispersal of striking power.
The war in the European theater
new can be said to have become a
battle for the initiative in the
broadest and perhaps most decis-
i've sense in its effect upon final
victory.
Adolf Hitler appears to have
three possibilities for large-scale
counteractionS:
/. Through the east by invading
Turkey toward the Nazis' original
objective cf Gil and a supply line.
But success would be highly doubt
ful in view of the Turks prepared
line of defense and the difficult
terrain, particularly in winter. The
British 9th and 10th armies, in the
near east also would prove an OBJ

Editorials and Comment
WHO DO THEY MEAN
BY THE PUBLIC?

Even trained psychologist cannot get
inside a mans mind to find out the fel-
lows complete thought processes, but a
conscientious study of past utteranceS
and acts over a period of years sometimes
gives a good key to his mental patterns.
Such a study applied to political
movement might help solve one of today's
greatest national mySteries-the abiding
belief in Washington that the people
still need to be jolted out of their "leth-
argy.'
This officially-held belief is demon
strated every day, and almost every hour,
by some spokesman for the federal ad-
ministraton, riding the air waves or leap
ing into print with words warning the
public" that we must expect to make
still greater sacrifices, that we must pre-
pare to work even harder, that we must
get over the idea that the war is going
to be easy to win.
To the average man on the street. all
this bombaSt is more than Il little puZ-
Zling, because it is so unnecessary. John
Doe American is beginning to wonder
why the governmental bigWigS insist upon
the unnecessary eXhortations instead of
putting their time in on really worth
while efforts to bring victory closer. fast
er John Doe American knows he's got
a tough job ahead of him. and he's pre-
pared to give up everything he has eX-
cept liberty to do that job-but he doesn't
have to be told about it every five min
utes. Why, then, does the administra-
tion insist upon preparing" the public
for something the public is already pre-
pared for?
The answer, we believe, goes back quite
few years. AS bluntly stated as pos
sible, this is it
Since its inception, the New Deal adj
ministration has considered that the pub
lie is made up of working people (Which
is true. Almost everybody in the United
States, except the politicians works.)
When it considers the working people"

A labor union. When it deals with the
labor unions, the New Deal does business
with the top men only-the union bosses.
Therefore, in the New Deal mind, the
union bosses become 'the public

there is great need to wake up ''the pub

need for greater sacrifices.

PUT 1T OVER
THE EASIEST WAY

1t is little less than a criminal waste of
time for administration officials to spend
hours awakening "the public to vital
need when the real public is already COM
pletely awakened, and the ones they're
aiming at are the labor union bosses who
still place private gain above national
victory. There is no doubt that the labor
union chieftans need awakening, but why
use a nationwide radio hookup to do it?
Why not get a couple of hundred of them
that should cover most of the real
e-makers-together in a single
meeting place and tell them straight from
the shoulder that they've got to forget
selfish greed for the duration. and put
hand to the wheel along with the rest
OF the people?
The labor unions aren't ''the public"
According to the latest available figures.

of this country are in the unions 1t is
safe to say, also, that 80 per cent of

SUPPORT A
GOOD CONGRESSMAN
{ Santa Ana RegiSter)

The twenty-second congressional dis
trict has elected good congressman. He
believes more nearly in the American
system that all men are equally free,
than most congressman believe. Is is
our duty as citizens of the tWenty-second
district to support Congressman elect
John Phillips in any effort he makes in
congress that will repeal the discrimna-
tory laws which make classes out of our
people and thus impOverish them and
take away from them their inherent
rights.
If we support and encourage Congress-
man Phillips when he does right on his
stand for equality Of laws, with no special
favors for any group or any class, then
he can do a great service not only to our
own people but to all the people of the
nation.
We bespeak for Congressman Phillips
a position of honor in representing this
district May he be one of the leaders
to help bring our country back to sanity,

THE FORTY
HOUR WEEK
(Fullerton News Tribune)

(Fullerton News Irbune)
Among the. Administrators policies
that are likely 10 receive attention as soon
as the new Congress conveneS in January
or even before-iS the 40-hour week.
The bill was misbranded when it was first
introduced, was miSrepreSented to the
people when it was considered. and stands
in the statutes as a libel on the strength
and ability of the American people.
The labor lobby that pushed the bill
through a rubber stamp Congress con-
tended that the purpose of the 40-hour
week was to create more Jobs. But all
the time the lobbyists knew that they had
control of most of the jobs. Their real
purpose was to reduce the time at which
overtime pay began. The effect in most
cases was to increase the pay of favored
group, to bar those who were less favor
ed, and to raise production costs and
prices at time when depression condi-
tiOnS called for lower costs as a Stimu-
liant to business.
If there was ever any excuse for the
law, ii was completely diScredited when
this country began to produce lend-leaSe
goods and then to produce supplies for
Its own part in the war. There was no
longer the excuse of spreading work. but
that merely disarmed the supporters of
the law. The real reason for abandon
ing the short week then was to relieve the
crushing load on taxpayers.
But the labor lobby still had the power
to stop it. Frances example of industrial
collapse and defeat under the 4O-hour
week was ignored. Britain's example of
a longer week and labor bid for post
war business has also been ignored.
Today the effect Of the law is to gouge
the people when they need all their
strength and all their resources to sup
port the armed forces in a war for sur
Vival. 1t is a drag on the real manhood
of the country, and it should be amended
