fer their present dictators to the

the other hand, the proposed eco
nomic partnership gives full weight
to the necessity of preventing the
sowing of the seeds of more war
then the pre-armistice agreements
can be constructive, indeed.

Political Preparations in North Africa
Lack BriIIiunce Of Military Tactics

gallant leaOer IN Britain DARK
est hour, is to be, in her moment
of triumph, one of the prime re-
builders of a new structure of
freedom and power. For without
power there is no freedom. This
is the thing that Gandhi, an
theological pacifist, has never un-
derstood.
Military victories Immediately
create new political situation.
The question is: Are we planning
our political strategy as carefully
and wisely as our military STRAIT
egy has been planned? Will our
political victories be as funda-
mental and astonishing as the
military victories of Admiral Hal
sey. Gen. Montgomery and Gen.
Eisenhower?
Every Mark Of Improvisation.
1t would seem that the politi-
cal preparations in North Africa
have lacked the brilliance, imag-
ination, consistency and unity of
command that marked the mill
tary tactics. Despite the long
period of opportunity afforded
our political representatives in
North Africa by the recognition
of Vichy, our political policy, un-
like the military, bears every
mark of Improvisation.
What is disturbing many
thoughtful people in the United
Nations is just this lameness, this
lack of any long-range political
view, in contrast to the grandi-
osity of the military conception.
In fact it looks as though Gen.
Eisenhower not only had to con-
duct a military campaign but
create political modus vivendi
in vacuum.
If this political modus vivendi
is not satisfactory, one certainly
cannot blame Gen. Eisenhower.
Our political leadership, the State
Department, for instance, cannot
hide behind the military. Politi-
cal decisions are not military
job, though they have to be made
in military situation.
The military reconquest of Eu-
rope is complicated enough. 1t
is impossible to demand of the
military that they be equal to
political situations which West
Point does not prepare them
for. The military mind properly
considers the winning over of
commanding posts and COM
manding officers, and the politi-
cal atmosphere surrounding such
officers is of no concern to them.
Yet in a war involving such
fundamental ideas, and in a world
where the masses of the people
are so determinant for every out
come, the lack of clear politi-
cal strategy can, in a moment of
military victory, create a vacuum
into which political personalities
and interests move.
Bankrupt politicians, for in
stance, have notable tendency
to take refuge under victorious
flag. Thus we see the very funny
spectacle of Flandin and Pu-
cheu, the very political culprits
of the Axis appeasement which
brought on this war, seeking un-
der cover Of our victory an
asylum from which to rebuild
their power. Asylum Is one thing:
the rebuilding of power is
another.
Political leadership must as
sumo its full responsibilities
everywhere. Otherwise military
victory can be accompanied by
political chaos.

New Deal political front in time of
war as in time of peace.
Nevertheless, If one of these gen.
tlemen were the head of Mr.. Davis
department it would be easier to
understand the singular omission of
the great speech of Secretary of
State Hull from the most recent
pamphlet issued under Mr.. Davis
name and entitled Toward New
Horizons" This is being sent by
hundreds of thousands all over the
country. 1t is devoted to the World
Beyond the War" and in it are con-
tanned speeches by Vice President
Wallace, Undersecretary of State
Welles, Ambassador Winant and
Milo Perkins of the Economic War
fare Board.
But nowhere in its 16 pages is
there so much as mention of Mr..
Hull's name, although Mr.. Hull's
last August utterance took first rank
as the clearest, sanest, most practical
and authoritative of any on the
postwar world. 1t was read in ad-
vance by the President, who gave it
a wholehearted and complete public
Endorsement before delivery.
Later it was translated into nine
languages and broadcast all over the
world. From both the British and
the Chinese came higher praise than
had been evoked by any of the other
announcements. 1t cleared the at
mosphere, dissipated the moonshine
with which the subject had been so
literally smeared and injected a
large dose of common sense into the
situation.
Overshadows Them.
All over the country editorial ap-
proval was unstinted and almost
unanimous. 1t made the soggy SEN
timentality of Mr.. Wallace's two
quarts = Of milk = day-for- every
body" speech, which the radicals had
hailed as a great historic docu-
ment.' appear SO ridiculous that,
until the appearance of the new
pamphlet, there had been on men
ton of it for months.
Yet it is Mr.. Wallace's vague words
that are now reprinted, and along
with them those OF Mr.. Welles, Mr..
Perkins and Mr.. Winant, while the
Hull address, which overshadowed
them all and was far more impor-
tant, is not referred to. One prefers
to think that this extraordinary
omission was not intended by Mr..
Davis or inspired by the New Deal
politicians.
1t is much more pleasant to be-
lleve that Mr.. Davis either did not
give personal attention to this
pamphlet, and therefore did not ap-
preciate the significance of the
omission, or that Mr.. Davis intends
later to issue second pamphlet
devoted to Mr. Hull's speech.
But that seems unlikely for several
reasons-one, it would be unusal to
have two issues dealing with the
same subject; two, 1t would put Mr..
Hull IN the subordinate position;

ARE YOU READY
FOR BOMBS?

(Redding Record-Searchlight
Our military and civilian defense au-
thorities quite obviously expect the Japa
nese to attack the west coast and are
doing ali they can to prepare to meet
such an attack. 1t might come today; it
might come tonight. 1t might be suicide
flight of light bomberS over Los Angeles
or San Francisco; it might be a landing
by the japanese version of marines or
commandos ON some part of our long
cOastline.
Following War Secretary Stimson's
warning that the Japs may be expected
to raid here in retaliation for the bomb
ing of Tokyo there have been a number
of other developments, some of them pub
lie and some of them confidential, all
pointing to the belief that the war may
come to our immediate vicinity with star
tling SuddennesS.
For instance, the office of civilian de-
fense asked all west coast newspapers to
print list of instructions on what to
do in case of an air raid, and what to do
in case of a gas attack. These appeared
on Page of yesterdays edition, and will
be repeated later this week. The raid, of
course, might never come, or If it comes,
it might not hit Redding or Shasta county.
But again it might and everyone must
be prepared.
On the assumption that our defense
authorities know what they are worry
ing about, the Record-Searchligh urges
that you prepare today as though you
were certain to be bombed tomorrow. Get
a supply of dry sand from one of the
boxes provided at many street corners.
Review what you have read about air
raid precautions, and how to combat in
cendiary bomb fires.
1t will be too late after the raid.

One naturally wonders why a Japanese

the hope of inspiring reprisals over here

ADMINISTRATORS SHOULD
PROFIT BY LECTURE

The supreme court in its wage-hour
decision delivered rather stiff lecture
to the wage-hour administrators, under
the cloak of a discussion of the law Said
the court, in part:
%. we are asked to provide rigid
definition of regular rate when congress
has failed to provide one. Presumably
congress refrained from attempting such
a definition because employment rela-
tionships to which the act would apply
were so varied and unpredictable. And
that which it was unwise for congress to
do this court should not do"
The supreme court might as well have
added:
nor should the wage-hour admin
stration attempt to do 1t"
The court refused to approve what
it called the administration ''infleXlble
and artificial Interpretation of the act.
The refusal should be a severe blow to
the policy which has, in the past, at
tempted to regiment all industry-all
employees alike regardless OF special con-
ditions-under one severe ruling.
Conditions are different between every
line of business. Application of any law
attempting to govern all business must
be made on a common sense basis, if the
law is to prove successful for the general
welfare
No administrator should write into
any law more than congress put there.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-06-09
COMMON SENSE FROM
THE SUPREME COURT

II Wage-hour administrators were as
sensible as the L. S. supreme court dem
onstrated itself in decision this week,
there would be considerably less trouble
for administration and public alike in
application of the law governing mini
mum hours and wages
The supreme court decision related dir
ectly to newspapers but its application
and results will be so broad that it enters
the realm of general interest.
1t provides, in effect, that employer
and employees may enter into an agree
ment for a regular weekly wage rate to
cover a condition under which maximum
regular pay" hours reach balance at
the end of period of time, which is not
greater than the maximum set by the
law. In other words, where employees
may have to work As or so hours in one
week to do their jobs but the next week
have to work only 35 or 80 hours, they
may enter an agreement with their en-
ployer that regular pay (no overtlme)
will cover both weeks
Under the wage-hour law as the ad-
ministration tried to enforce it, the en-
ployer would have to pay, and the en-
ploye could not forego by agreement,
five hours overtime in the week during
which the employe worked, say, As hours
a week Such a system, of course, prac-
tically forced the employer to pay only
the hourly rate in weeks during which
the employe worked less than 40 hours.
The result was no end of bookkeeping
confusion and, what is more important
an extremely unstable paycheck for the
employe.
While the decision related directly to
a newspaper case, it established prec-
edent which will be of considerable value
in other industries where the very nature
of the work makes hours of work unpre-
dictable and varied from week to week.
As the supreme court decision said, This
policy is based upon a common sense
recognition of the special problems con-
fronting employer and employe in busi-
nesses where the work hours fluctuate
from week to week and day to day.

Himmler revealed that his So

almost was killed last year when

Out of progressive Wisconsin comes one
of the weirdest court decisions we ever
read. There a Wausau Judge released
a man who left his 2-year-old daughter
in a farmyard all night, where she froze
to death.
The man, one-time district attorney,
and his wife both were drunk. Qntoxi-
Gated seems too mild. The judge said
he could not see that such drunkenness
indicated cutter and wanton disregard for
the rights of others" Therefore, he held,
no manslaughter was committed against
the child.
If defendant has been wrongly con-
victed he can appeal. When a Judge makes
a decision like this against the state,
which is society," there is no recourse.
This man and his wife are free to live
happily ever after in Wisconsin-if they
can.

Chinese Recapture
One City. Hold Out
At Another Point

CHUNGKING, June 0 CUP) -
Chinese troops, resisting an all-out
japanese attempt to control the vi
tai Kiangsi-Chekiang railway, have
recaptured Tungsiang, 45 miles
southeast of Nanchang, and up to
last night were still holding out
at besieged Chuhsien CChuchow) in
western Chekiang, a mill tary
spokesman said today
He said the Chekiang- -Kiangsi
railway, stretching from Nanachang
to HangchoW was the scene of a
gigantic military land operation,
with the japanese employing a
force of at least 10000 men in
their twin drives from the east and
west.
JAPS DESTROYED
Chinese forces, however, still
control about ITS miles in the mid
die section of the railway from
Chuhsien to Tungsiang, he dis
closed. .F#
An undetermined number of Jap
anese soldiers in civilian dress were
annihilated when the Chinese
stormed back into Tungsiang.
Shell-runined Chuhsien, now in
its fourth day Of siege and bonn
bardment, was completely encircled
by a superior japanese force, but
the Chinese garrison was resisting
heroically.
Despite heavy losses around the
city, the japanese were sending
spearheads against Chuh S e n S
walled defenses in a reckless at
tempt to clear the Chinese out of
the entire Chekiang area from
which Allied bombers could operate
against Japan, only 700 miles to the
east.
