comment on the national policy
which armed Japan and made
her the present barbaric threat
in the far east and Pacific. was
given by Ambassador Joseph c.
Grew in his recent radio address
upon his return from Japan
where he had been in a concen-
tration camp.
Mr.. Grew stated emphstically
that fascism has been on the
march since Japan invaded Man
churia in 1891 and he made this
daring remark. During my ten
years in Japan. I constantly
warned my government OF Jap
ans plans for aggression. The
state department WAS not un-
informed"
One conclusion should be obvi-
Gus and unacceptable. Those men
in public office who fought un-
flinehingly against the policy Of
sppeasement should be recog-
nized as real patriots and judged
worthy OF continued leadership
in this grim business of war
against world fascism.

. Russians Have Savings. Too

The average American citizen, reading
about Russian savings and invest
ments." usually does hot believe that any
such terms and things exist in the Red
commonwealth.
Yet personal savings are as wide
spread as they are necessary. While the
government does provide number of
social benefits. unemployment insurance
has been abolished and no compensation
is paid TO those not working. Such pro-
visions were considered superfluous and
untimely after the new constitution estab-
lished the law that it is the obligation OF
every able-bodied citizen of the L. S. S. z.
to toll. Consequently Soviet laborer out
of job and in quest of better one Is
dependent on his own nest egg TO tide him
over any payless periods.
The widespread confusion among our
people concerning communism and private
property arises from the fact that all
plants, mines and other basic means OF
production are owned by and turn in earn
ings to the government. At the same
time, personal possessions of citizens,
their wages, bank accounts. equipment,
household articles, utensils, etc, are pro-
tected by the constitution.

, Jurisdiciional Board

There is real merit in the United Auto
mobile Workers (Cl0) proposal for a
national board to handle all jurisdictional
disputes among unions. Such an organ
ization. given the necessary authority and
support, could do much to eliminate the
strike nobody loves.
To achieve results the national board
would need to have two firm assurances:
First. that no strike would be called in
a jurisdictional dispute until the board had
been given reasonable opportunity to act.
Second, that the boards decisions would
be enforced with the full, militant might
of the unions and, if necessary. of the
government of the United States.
We're leading into fall-the time for
hunting big game and big game tickets.

Benefit Dance for Canteen

with hostesses on hand to supply
them with lemonade or coffee, pop
corn, and homemade cookies sup
piled by the women of the city. The
canteen is maintained by the bus
ineSs men of the city, women of
the community giving their services.
Junior hosteSSeS are on duty each
evening to help entertain the men,
and the entire organization is a
community cooperative venture de-
signed to make servicemen's stay
in FL Centre as pleasant as posi-
BILE.
That the canteen does meet a
need is apparent by the many en-
thusiastic comments made by the
men, by the many letters canteen
workers receive, and by the fame
it has gained outside the valley.
Additional equipment is necessary
now that SO many use the building
and the money raised by this means
of the dance will go for that pur-
pose solely.
Many businessmen are buying
blocks of tickets, turning them over
to the canteen, and anyone who
wishes to help with the project, but
is. unable to attend the dance, may
purchase tickets to be left at the
canteen where they will be dis
tributed to servicemen.
However, it is emphasized by
canteen directors, the dance is for
everyone, and it is their hope that
many civilians will attend for a
good time and good music are
promised them. 1t is to be an in
formal affair, and those who wish
tickets may get them at the can
teen or at the door Tuesday night.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-11-09

AS the opening event in the
Armistice celebration, benefit
dance for the service mems can
teen is scheduled for Tuesday
night. Nov. 10, the night preceding
the holiday, at 9 o'clock in the
Barbara Worth hotel with Billy
Myers and his orchestra supplying
music for the party.
The dance is open to everyone,
servicemen and civilians, and is
sponsored by the canteen unit, with
the cooperation of the Barbara
Worth hotel and the orchestra.
Many servicemen plan to attend
and Junior hostesSes will be on
hand to dance with them, these
girls, like the canteen unit men,
bers, paying their own admission.
The dance will be chaperoned ade-
quately and many groups of girls
are making up their own parties
TO go as the canteen unit directors
have promised the men that there
will be partners for them.
All profits will be used in equip
ping the Servicemen's canteen to
meet the many extra demands made
on it as more and more men are
stationed in the valley.
For example, 300 service men
patronized the canteen Sunday and
each week sees more and more men
making use of the canteens facili-
ties. The canteen, located on Main
street, is open daily from l p. m.
on and is open on Sundays in the
mornings also.
