thrust a bayonet at him. The bay

Catholic nuns have reached the
safety of a South Pacific port
after what seemed to them a
miraculous escape from the jap
anese on Guadalcanal Island.
The nuns, Sister Mary Teresa Of
Holyoke, Mass, and Sister Mary
Evangeline of Prince Edward Island
Canada, escaped from japanese
domination and lived month in
the jungle with the enemy at theil
heels.
With seven priests and five other
nuns they were evacuated from
Guadalcanal October 4. Among
those in the party was Father M. j
Macmahon of Toronto.
Eager to Return.
Despite their sufferings and hard
ships the sisters are eager to return
to the Solomons "as soon as the
japanese are all cleared out"
Other members of the rescued
party have gone to Australia and
New Zealand, but Sister Mary Te-
resa and Sister Mary Evangeline
will remain at their present station
until they are permitted to return
to Guadalcanal. They think that
won't be long.
Their story goes back to May
3 when the Japs started their in

(Christian Science Monitor)
A news item from New York carries
the announcement that duck hunters in
that State this year will enjoy seventy
day season instead of sixty days and, in
addition, an extension of the daily shoot
ing hours.
Housewives searching high and low for
every spare ounce of scrap metal to
help make up the Nations need for s.
100000 tons for ammunition may tc
tempted to wonder whether their little
contribution will be used by sportsmen
who also use up gunpowder.
There may be reasons not obvious on
the surface which prompted the New
York State Conservation Department not
only to continue the regular duck-hunt-
ing season but extend it so substantially.
From the outside looking in, however, it
doesn't appear to be a step exactly in
keeping with the present war aims and
war economy of the United Nations.

FIRST LET'S DETERMINE
IF DRAFT is NECESSARY

Kaiser proved that labor can b2 OBJ
tanned without a draft, if sufficient in
itiaitve is included in the effort.
How far that proof carries, we make
no pretense of knowing. Perhaps it is
not true that enough men could be taken
into wartime industry to meet all of the
needs, by the use of Kaiser's system. We
do not oppose the suggestion for national
service mobilization We merely question
whether the resources of private initiative
have been exhausted, or will be exhausted,
before such mobilization is undertaken
by the federal government.
If the job can be done without federal
compulsion, we are in favor of doing it
that way. Further, we are in favor of
making every effort to do it by other
means, before complete RECOMMENDATION is
forced upon us.
The proposed mobilization by the gov
ernment, we recognize, is wartime meas
ure, and federal power must be extended
greatly during wartime But let us not
extend it farther than we need to, and let
us be cautious in determining the need.

Almost nobody supposed that the
War Labor Board could add to the
confusion that has confounded its

like some other agencies, recogniz-
es nothing that can't be done. Now

With all the criticism that greet
ed the Little Steel formula, there

The idea seemed to be that, in
general, the Board would grant
raises only to the extent necessary
to preserve the January l941 buy
ing ability of workers,
Now the whole troublesome mat
ter has been cut wide open by a
panel decision affecting metal min
erS.
This was not enc of those ex-
ceptions that test the rule. That
is, il was not a special grant to
an underprivileged group. The
miners already were getting 10 to
81 cents an hour. The existing
wage scale was described by the
employer member of the panel,
dissenting from the decision; as
bein~ 40 per cent above the jan
usry 1941 level, though the cost
of living has risen only Is per
cent by the WLB's own compu-
tation.
The panels recommendation was
argued on the basis that airplane
shipbuilders and some 9TH
er western workmen are getting
from 80 cents to Sl.l0 an hour. Min
ers have been shifting to the higher
paid jobs, and metal production
