COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Great Britain has given proof that
total war without losing its freedoms,
says Prof William S. McCauley of
Smith College in study prepared for
the American Council ON Public Af-
fairs.
In a statement based on the study,
ing for American advocates of labor
RECOMMENDATION and other totalitarian
controls, Prof McCauley points out
that the United States may well bene-
fit by greater consideration of Bri-
tain's policies, problems and expert
ences in connection with it's manpower
program.
The statement is based on an eX-
haustive study of British manpOwer
developments evidently the most
comprehensive study made in the
field" the public affairs council says.
This country, in framing manpower
policies, can benefit considerably from
Britain's experience, Prof. McCauley
holds.
For Britain" he goes on to explain,
with her tradition of individual free
dom, her peacetime unplanned economy
and her Independent labor movement,
more closely resembles the United
States than any other great power.
Moreover, Britain, like the United
States, entered this war without any
effective production plans and under
pressure of wartime survival has been
forced to devise comprehensive
scheme of manpower controls.
To-day Britain is the most COM
pletely mobilized democracy in the his
tory of government. Practically all
available manpower-over % million
men and women out of total working
population of 3 millions-is engaged
in some essential sector of Britain's
war effort.
"What is most significant for Amer
ica is that Britain's vast mobilization
of manpower has been achieved with
extraordinarily little limitation Of
democratic freedoms. Here is striking
proof that an intelligent democracy
can organize its resources for war
without losing the precious freedoms
for which it fights"
X X X
Prof. McCauley says there are five
fundamental lessons America can
learn from Brtain's manpower eX-
perience. Labor will not agree with
all of his conclusions, notably one that
Industrial conscription of both women
and men is an unacceptable necessity"
1t will agree, however, on the whole
with what he says is the fifth lesson,
which he outlines as follows:
"The fifth lesson is the need for
giving responsible labor leaders Il
more significant share in the formula
ton and execution of mobilization
policies. In England, trade union lead
ers are equal partners in the top ad-
ministration Of the war 1t is unfortu-
nately true that in America our labor
movement is not unified, nor is it as
experienced in the work of jublic ad-
miniStration as is the British labor
movement. But these differences only
add to the difficulties of admitting
labor to greater responsibility there
is no way to eliminate the task.
'-As the restrictions tighten up, as
workers lose their rights to choose
their jobs, to change jobs, to quit jobs
and to work leisurely hours, labor is
going TO ask and expect that its lead
ers share in the administration of
these restrictions. Probably in no other
way can complete labor confidence in
the leadership of the war effort be
ensured"

MALTA:
More Bombs

In a ceremony punctuated by fall
ing Nazi bombs, Great Britain
Lord Gort was sworn in as the new
governor and commander-in-chief of
Malta, the "most bombed spot on
earth"
Lord Gort took his oath of office
amid the ruins of building smashed
in previous attack. Bombs were
falling throughout the proceedings
and the chief justice administering
the oath had his hand cut and bleed
ing from a wound sustained during
the raid.
More than 10000 high explosive,
armor piercing bombs have been
dropped on Malta this year, accord
ing to an Alexandria, Egypt, source.
The island, lying off the coast OF
Italy in the Mediterranean, has been
under constant attack by the Nazi
bombing forces because it guards
the vital Axis supply routes to AT
RIGA and the Middle East.
AS a result of these continuing
raids an official British check-up
shows that Malta's property losses
include $500 homes, 70 churches,
Is converts, % schools and eight
hospitals. Seventy-five per cent OF
the property in Valetta, the princi-
pal city, has been made uninhabita-
BILE by the attacks.

TRAP SPRUNG:
On jap Invaders

A stirring story of how japanese
invading forces on the Burma road
were sent Keeling back by a surprise
blow from a trapped" Chinese
army was told by dispatches from
Chungking.
The Chinese on the Burma road
followed their prearranged plan.
They allowed the Japs to sweep into
Yunnan province and lengthen their
communication lines. The Japs ad-
vanced triumphantly.
A strong Chinese army, which the
Japs had bypassed in central Bur-
ma, struck hard into the exposed
rear lines of the invaders. The
maneuver cut off the main commu-
nication route and line of retreat of
the Japanese units, which had split
into two columns to try to outfiank
the Chinese. One of these columns
was wiped out in the first "a hours
of fighting. The other forces were
expected to be ''liquidated within a
few days." said Chinese COM
muniQue.

OLD At 20

You can't expect, t,Oenty years
from notU, to recapture the youth
you lost by marrying at IL or Is.
If you try, you will probably be-
come one of those pathetic mid
dIe-aged ,0omen ,oho refuse stub
bornIy to grorO old gracefully,
thereby losing not only the JOY
of youth but the charm and
peace of the later years. Not all
such marriages turn out badly.
But more often than not, ,ohen
the novelty and glamour ,Uears
thin and marriage becomes the
serious business it really is, the
bride of less than 20 years be-
gins to realize that she is no
longer girl. She is, at 20, al
ready too old for her age.

PREPAREDNESS
~ the
AMERICAN RED CROSS

Volunteer for Victory offer your
services to your Red Cross.
HNXTHAT can I do?" Now that
w we are at war, that is the
question that every woman is ask
ing herself. For those women who
want to do a real job where they
are urgently needed, there is the
Volunteer Nurses Aide Corps of
the American Red Cross. One
hundred thousand Nurses Aides
will help relieve the acute nursing
shortage at home, according to
Mrs. Walter Lippmann, who is the
volunteer director of this Red
Cross service. Trained nurses
are daily being called for service
with our armed forces.
A Volunteer Nurses Aide per-
forms many routine hospital du-
ties and relieves the trained
nurse for more technical work.
She bathes and feeds patients,
makes beds, takes temperature
and pulses, assists in keeping
records, does unsterile bandag-
ing and attends to many details
essential to a patients comfort.
She always works under the
supervision of a graduate nurse.
Eligible for enrolment are
American citizens or friendly
aliens, between Is and SO years of
age, with the equivalent of high
school education and in good
health. A Nurses Aide must COM
plete an 80-hour intensive training
course; 35 hours of class room in
struction and As hours of super
vised practice on hospital wards.
She also agrees to serve $50 hours
per year without pay in hospitals,
prenatal, industrial or other clinics
and public health agencies. The
standard first aid course is req
uisite for the first year of service
and the Nurses Aide may be as
signed to Emergency Medical Field
Units set up by Civilian Defense,
to speed to the aid of civilians,
wounded in air raids or disasters.
More than $4,000 Volunteer
Nurses Aides are in training or
already trained, but many more
are needed. 1t is too late when
the bombs fall or an epidemic
strikes. Prepare now and help
safeguard the nations health. Con-
tact your local Red Cross chapter
for information as to nearest train
ing facilities available.

GERMAN DRIVE:
In Eastern Crinrea

The long-heralded Nazi spring
drive finally began with thrust to-
ward Kerch in the eastern CrimeH,
Kerch is a key peninsular point
along the shortest route to the eau
casian oil fields.
The Nazis' main effort was direct
ed, as many observers thought it
would be, at driving across the
Kerch peninsula to win the rich fuel
deposits. Too, they would be in a
position to threaten the Allied east
ern flank in Iran, another oil king
dom. Comparative quiet had pre-
vailed in the Kerch peninsula since
last December when the Russians
hurled the Germans back from the
town of Kerch.
Neutral observers stated that ap'
proximately 100000 men were III
action on the Donetz front. Early
reports indicated vast Nazi strength
on the 250-mile front between Dne'
propetrovsk and the peninsula.

ment ignored Pierre Laval, chief of
the Vichy government, to deal di-
rectly with Robert.
Adm. John H. Hoover, represent
ing the United States, made it def
mite that this country would desire
to garrison the islands of st. Pierre
and Miquelon, off Newfoundland, In
addition to Martinique and Guade-
loupe in the Caribbean sea.
The state department emphasized
that no ultimatum was being served
on the French admiral. Robert had
been friendly with the two previous
American missions since the fall OF
France in 1910.

TRADE BARRIERS:
Impose Heavy Toll

In an action-produclng message to
the Federal-State Conference on
War Restrictions, President Roose-
Welt declared that legal obstacles
to commerce, arising from desire
for regional and local advantage,
have imposed a heavy toll on the
national war effort.
Rep. Emanuel Celler of New
York, in a radio broadcast, pointed
out a vivid illustration of existing
trade barriers:
"Rhode Island requires that all
milk brought in from neighboring
states must be colored pink. Ina
CINE drinking pink milk. The OBJ
vious purpose is to keep out foreign
milk and make all drink Rhode Is
land milk"
However, trucking restrictions
were responsible for most OF the
wrath.
Public Roads Commissioner Mac
Donald said the following regula-
lions would remove the most seri-
Gus stoppages of interstate truck
traffic: Maximum width for trucks,
96 inches; height, IL feet 8 inches;
length, IS feet for single vehicles

n Report

As he reviewed the war on the
second anniversary of his rise to the
premiership, Prime Minister Wins
ton Churchill of Great Britain indi-
Gated that he believed the tide of
battle had turned in the favor Of the
United Nations.
While he foresaw suffering ahead
he told his people that deserved to
hear the encouraging news that
Britain's great air force had been
constantly bombing a number of
Nazi industrial cities and would
continue to bomb them"
Churchill warned the Nazis that
if they used poison gas against Rus
STA, that this same Raj would be
used to carry gas warfare in the
Largest possible scale against mill
tary detectives in Germany" This
remark received special attention as
less than "a hours before he spoke,
Russia had reported that the Nazis
were using gas mines in the battle
of the Crimea.
War shipments through the Arctic
supply route are definitely getting
through to Russia, said the prime
minister, although there have been
losses to the United Nations in these
conveys. He also thinks Russia
army is growing stronger.

married, that would have the man.
aging of his house and his children,
but from the first Emmet's sister
who lived next door, practically ran
our house, and the girls were IN
school.
"When they came Emmett was so
delighted to have two young lady
daughters to spoil that I was re-
duced to a working housekeeper's
position, and anything my own girls
wanted had to wait until their half
sisters had had chance at the So
cial whirl, a chance to go the right
places and meet the right men.
"Just to give you an idea: Isabel,
when she leaves the house, will call
up to me, Two extra for dinner,
Janet!' Emily borrowed a fur coat
my aunt left me, Just for this once
and has been wearing it all winter.
When spoke to Emmett about it and
said I had intended to cut it into
muffs for Jane and Diana, my own
girls, he laughed and said that long
before they were ready for muffs the
coat would be moth-eaten anyway.
Inconsiderate Demands.
'I feel as if I had thrown away
my life; no girlhood, really, no
young-ladyhood of dancing and good
times, maternal problems with the
children of a man more than twice
my age when I was only 18, and
! now nothing but slavery in a family
of six, with constant problems of
company, meals, parties, late hours,
and the inconsiderate demands OF
two spoiled girls. Except for occa-
sional help by the hour, my girls
and I do all the work.
"Just now," the letter concludes,
"Emmet is asking me to put mort
gage on our own home so that ne
can make the down payment on a
home for Emily and Martin"
Well, little-girl marriages don't al
ways mean total eclipse. But they
almost always present problems
that can be solved only by the sud-
den and painful growing up of the
little girl. She doesn't long hold the
| proud position of a young queen,
adored by her older husband, and
hardly older, herself, than those
| children she is mothering so charm
ingly. For a few months or a year
she does hustle about, identified in
the shops as that pretty girl-wife Of
Doctor Brown; for few years she
talks with precocious wisdom, like
a grave little girl playing mamma,
about what she and Harry mean to
do for Teddy and Nancy.
But very shortly she learns that
even Titania, when she marries, has
to keep house comfortable and q
cook pacifed, that Teddy is an un'
pleasantly spoiled little boy who runs
to his grandmother with all his trou
bles and makes partisan of his
father, and that Nancy doesn't like
| her and never will.
Even when there are not step
children to complicate matters, 6
very young marriage is an unbal
anced business. If it is to mar
only a year or two older than his
bride it may soon degenerate into
case of two children quarrelling
when the passion that first united
them is turned into nothing but bit
terness; and if the husband is much
older then something that is hel
sacred right is lost to the bride for
ever. For a wife isn't plaything
or a coaxing little daughter, or {
decorative figure. She's woman
and a wife.

Legal Holidays

According to the Constitution
neither congress nor the President
has the power to prescribe legal
holidays except in the District of
Columbia and the U. S. territorial
possessions, says Golfers. New
ertheless, congress has recognized
the following days as public holi-
days: New Years day, Washing
tons birthday, Memorial day, the
Fourth of July, Labor day, and
Christmas.
Since most of these holidays
have been declared local holidays
by the individual states, they can
be said to be national and legal
holidays. The President proclaims
Thanksgiving a holiday.

GAS RATIONED:
On Eastern SeabOard

Approximately one-third of all au-
tomobile owners in the eastern sea-
board states have been limited to
three gallons of gasoline week by
an order from the Office Of Price
Administration.
The one-third, whose use of auto
mobiles is classed as non-essential,
will be entitled to purchase total
of q gallons of gasoline from May
Is to July l, when permanent ra-
tioning plan goes into effect.
Motorists have been classified in
five categories for rationing pur-
poses. Holders of "a" cards are
nonessential. "B-1," OBJ" and
''B-3" cards have been issued to mo-
florists, including workers /, in arms
industries, whose cars are necessary
in pursuit of their employment. The
amount of gasoline they receive de-
ponds upon the amount of daily mile
age they declared at registration
time. 1t ranges from SIT to 8 IN

The "X'' cards were issued to
unrestricted users, including buses,
taxicabs, physicians, nurses, ambu.
lances, hearses, ministers, highway
maintenance crews and government
of municipality operated cars.
