In the religious news section Of The
Times today the Lords Day Alliance is
reported supporting legislation ito inn
prove the welfare and working conditions
of postal employees"
As far as working conditions and wages
are concerned, postoffice employees have
been the forgotten people. Uncle Sam has
assiduously pounded private business on
the back to make life more worthwhile for
the workers. He has demanded better
wages and working conditions and has
provided legislation to make improvements
obligatory. He has demanded and obtained
better working conditions for women. And
a United States supreme court decision up
held the Washington state law concerning
women who work.
Private employers have been required
to provide special facilities for women
workers. They may not be worked unrea-
sonable hours and must be allowed two Ill
teen minute rest periods in the work day.
But as the Lords Day Alliance points
out, Uncle Sam is very lax when it comes
to his employees, notably the postoffice
employees. There is no complaint that
workers generally have it any too soft, but
there is feeling that when Uncle Sam is
looking after the welfare of the workers
he should set an example and give little
attention to his own back yard.

Another I'll Wind

1t was not generally known at the time,
but as soon as they learned of the Boston
night club fire disaster, army-navy medical
specialists were rushed to the hospitals to
observe certain new treatments for burns.
The purpose was that later the doctors
may repeat these remedial measures on
victims of flame-throwers, pierced boilers,
broken steampipes, powder explosions,
blazing oil and other casualties of Arma-
geddon.
One of the most modern techniques-
applied for the first time under such cir
cumstances-is a coating of triple aniline
dyes of antiseptic and healing properties
which creates an artificial membrane over
scared flesh. The smear turns the skin
into such brilliant purple that friends
were terrified when they saw their loved
ones but its helpful effects are almost MI
raculous.
The military and the o. c. d. also had
an opportunity to try out blood plasma on
a scale equal to that of battle or an air
raid
Thus, Phoenix-like, from the ashes OF
Boston's great fire, comes knowledge which
may save the lives of thousands of men in
the armed services. 1t is another demon
stration that sometime out of evil comes
good.

The National Association of Mutual
Savings Banks announces that Christmas
Club funds in their banks have reached a
new high record this year of S76,720,30
This sum win be distributed among 1,52S-
$50 accounts for an average of S50.l9 each.
This distribution of cash for Christmas
will take place in II states in which mutual
savings banks operate. New York led with
deposits of s3l, 52s, 430, while Massachu-
sets was second with sl9,153.934.
The money like that in the Christmas
clubs of the regular commercial banks, rep
resent saving for the specific purpose Of
buying Christmas presents. The substantial
accumulation in the face of war condi-
tons was taken by the bank officials to in
dicate willingness on the part of the pub
lie TO save. In further view of the war sit
uation a number of the Christmas savers
indicated their intention Of giving war
bonds for presents.
Others are using only a minimum OF
the fund for adult Christmas gifts, CIV
ing useful gifts to the children and put
ting the bulk of the Christmas money into
war bonds for investment. Which isn't a
bad idea.

. II We Don't Watch Out

Since Unite ions forces have
seemed to be holding the advantage IN the
Pacific many persons assume that the
fight is virtually over and expect to hear
any day that Hirohito has committed hari-
kari.
But in his new book. Report From To-
kyo." Ambassador Joseph c. Grew pitt
lessly debunks such premature optimism.
Among other things he says
Japan has one great advantage over
her enemies in the Far East-the advan-
tage of five years hard fighting in the
China war. They've paid dearly for IT.
Estimates of their casualties run as high
as a million men. But for this grim price
in blood they obtained q proving ground
where they could build tough, veteran
army trained in the greatest of all mill
tary schools-war itself.
1t is spine chilling picture that Am
bassador Grew presents. He shows that the
Japanese high command has been study
ing the strategy Of this war for years.
Thew have obtained accurate information
of all areas in the Pacific battle zone. They
are not guessing.
"Japan's iron WILL" said the ambassa-
dor. KNOWS neither gentleness nor mercy.
II is utterly ruthless, utterly cruel, utterly
blind to any of the values which make up
our civilization. The only way to stop that
will is to destroy it. II We fail-please
mark my words-we pass into slavery and
all the world passes into slavery with US.
THAT is just another way of saying
that even If Hitler and Mussolini crack,
there will still be a mighty hard battle
ahead of us. 1t also is warning that we
better stop some Of our beefing and kick
ing and get down to brass tacks on this
war business. We can be licked If we
don't watch out.

q hog TO be inspected before SELL
Ing to a butcher shops
7. Il. ID.
We don't know Of any state law
that requires inspection but we
do know that most cities have
ordinances covering that point.
You can not sell meat in Tacoma
unless it has passed inspection.
Mr.. Fixit: II a married man IL
reported missing in action, can
even the government declare him
legally dead? Can a woman re-
marry on these grounds:
G. +. o.
All the government does is to
notify the wife that the soldier
is missing in action. They do
not declare him dead. From there
on, state laws apply TO his ABB

torney.

IN the opinion of those who are famil-
lar with the Japanese viewpoint there is
only one answer to the disturbances that
have taken place at Japanese relocation
centers. There should be complete sepa-
ration of American-born and alien Japa-
nese.
Perhaps that is not as simple as it
sounds, but the Japanese being what he IS,
there is bound TO be trouble when large
numbers of aliens and American-born
members Of the race are closely confined.
When there is too much proximity, too
much rubbing Of elbows when nerves are
taut. there is bound to be friction. That
is the case even in the best of families.
But mass segregation would not en-
tirely solve the problem. Among the older
Japanese of foreign birth there are some
who are as loyal TO this government as any
native American. Obviously IL would be
unfair to shunt them off into an isolation
camp with some of the trouble makers who
have demonstrated that their sympathies
are with the homeland.
On the other hand there may be few
American-born Japanese whose protesta-
tons Of citizenship and love of this country
might be taken with a grain of salt. IL
would be unfair TO segregate these with
those whose loyalty Is unquestioned.
Probably il Is presumption for the lay
man TO question the military intelligence
which planned removal Of all Japanese
from the Pacific coast. There appear to
have been good reasons for the removal
both "a q measure of safety and for the
rood of the Japanese themselves.
But IL will take evidence to convince
the laymen whose association has made
him familiar with the japanese character
that the best method was adopted. 1t was
evident from the first that the wholesale
dumping of every type and character OF
Japanese into an assembly center with
very little to occupy their time would cause
trouble.
The army did a good job in directing
the mass removals. Now that the errors
of the program are beginning to crop out,
the army should be smart enough to cor
rect them.
