Routine Liabilities

From the Providence Sunday journal.
We have real problem in man.
power for wal here at home. No
informed person denies that fact.
Military and industrial leaders alike are
talking increasingly in terms of short
ages. Gen. Hershey speaks of the grow
ing scarcity of single men for the Army
And Mr.. McNutt tells of deficiencies in
industrial manpower running from sc, 900
to 100000 in various key districts. The
matter of maintaining the proper ratio
between the size of the Army and the
size of the supporting industrial forces
must receive constant attention.
Yet our increasing manpower diff
culties are not solely question of
numbers OF men. Part of them certainly
are a problem of spirit The desire for
money which moves a man from a Job
where he can do his best bit toward
winning the war; the habit OF taking
an unnecessary day off from vital task
because a man has been accustomed to
such absenteeism in peacetime; the idea
that America is bound to win the war
and can do 1t comfortably here at home
regardless of discomfort; these are the
elements of which delayed victory. II
indeed not actual defeat. are made.

Regards Peace as Dependent
upOn Human Will Power.

To the Editor of The Star:
Lest possibly they again meet disil-
lusionment, the American people should
not become too fully convinced that the
worldwide establishment of the Four
Freedoms will produce permanent peace,
During It's long and tumultous career
on earth, mankind frequently has en-
Joyed freedom of speech, freedom of re-
llglous worship, freedom from want and
all the other kindly privileges Mother
Nature affords. However, despite that
fact, Old Man Mars has thrived and
multiplied unto his present huge pro-
portions.
Permanent peace is dependent neither
upon the privileges man enjoys nor upon
the restrictions he permits himself to be
subjected to. In my opinion, permanent
peace is dependent entirely upon the
intelligence and will power of humanity.
In other words, permanent peace will
come only when human beings, indi-
vidually and collectively, realize that
war Is both a worthless and needless
practice and resolve, regardless of their
circumstances, that they are not going to
engage In 1t.
know this: There is only one way to
stop smoking, and that is to stop 1t. And
feel the same way about the stopping
OF war. J. J. SPERRY.

The Little Scrop Heaps

One of the oddities of this war is
discovery of the hitherto unknown
beauty that lies in a pile of junk.
Star photographers assigned to pho
tQgraph some of the scenes of yester-
days collection of scrap metal in
East Washington grew lyrical over
the sights encompassed within their
lenses-great heaps of twisted bed
springs, battered garbage cans, bed
frames, broken skates, dilapidated
lawn mowers, rusty skid chains,
ancient boilers. Star artists, laying
out a page Of their pictures for
today's paper, expressed genuine en-
thusiasm in substituting shot of
larger pile for a smaller one Large
crowds gathered yesterday around
the scrap depots, "Oh-ing" and
"Ah-ing" with pleasure as yet another
truck arrived to add its dusty burden
to the heap.
What all of them were seeing, of
course, was not the litter itself, but
the spirit which lay behind the
ordered disorder of its assembly. The
really striking thing about yester-
days collection was the number Of
the little piles Of scrap strung out
along the curb-thousands of them,
In every street, each one of them
representing some ones willingness to
do his part. For all Of us feel in
sttnctively as we progress from
ankle-deep, to waist deep, and up to
our necks in this war, that it will be
the little piles that win, 1t will be
the ability by each Of us to add some
part, no matter how small in itself
1t may be, to the gigantic effort which
must be put forth by the people as
whole.
Yesterdays collection of scrap
metal in East Washington was highly
successful In yielding many tons Of
material for which there is a real
and urgent need Many citizens, con-
fused by the assorted demands for
scrap. forgot that the present effort
Is to get metal for steel. They threw
In rags and rubber and tin-which
are not wanted in this collection.
Next Sundays collection in West
Washington, because 1t will reach a
larger number of people in smaller
area, should be even more successful.
Certainly the Commissioners special
committee of municipal officials has
arranged a collection system that
leaves minimum amount of respon-
sibility to the individual citizen. The
members of this committee deserve
commentator for the excellence of
their arrangements Yesterday.

Almost Free Press

Want to buy q newspaper cheap?
Then go to Los Angeles and ask for

Physically the plant is in good

mitted no sabotage. The only evil
dence Of undue wear is that on the

senting peace, honor and goodwill to

thin from excessive use, but other
wise the outfit is ready to run, If
any one knows how or why. 1t could,
however, also be made ready to fly,
II dismantled and added to the scrap
drive. Perhaps that will be it's ulti-
mate mission. After all, the function
OF a press is to inform; and In the
present state of affairs, the Japs

In America II this particular press
were to concentrate itself on one
