CENSORSHIP
OFTEN FAULTY

Perhaps the Office of Censorship look
ed a little silly, tearing pages out OF a
national picture magazine after the arti-
Gle in question had been examined and
approved in advance OF publication.
Probably there was bit of misunder-
standing involved. But actually the CEN
sors were following a consistent course
which had been thoroughly considered
and which Is not illogical
That course depends upon the theory
that censorship in wartime divides into
two disimilar functions The one is de-
fensive-designed to prevent the domes-
tic dissemination of war secrets which
might be smuggled out to axis capitals.
The other is offensive-designe to beat
Germany in the contest for Latin Amerl-
can cooperation.
Apparently there was some miXup as
to whether Canada is domestic or for
eign. Perhaps the nature of the censor
ed article placed it on the BORDERING
in determining whether Canada should
see it.
The article in question painted
gloomy picture of Detroit'S war produc-
ton, and discussed such causes for the
trouble as the bitter hatred between en-
ployers and unions; the Coughlln-Smlth-
Ku KluX X Ian influence; the serious
housing shortage; and the lnadeQuacy OF
raw materials supplies.
Mr.. Price has not told us, but we have
reason to believe that for domestic use
he would welcome the telling of such
unpleasant truths to keep us on our toes,
to prick our complacency, to needle us
into correcting the Embellishments and
doing better job.
For export purposes, however, news
is conceived of as a valuable weapon in
total warfare.
There is a keen contest between Ger
many and the United States to determine
just how whole-heartedly Latin America
shall cooperate with the United Nations
One immediate prize, of course, is Chile'S
decision whether to declare war on the
axis.
Rightly or wrongly, the Office of
Censorship is determined to see that
no articles shall be sent to Latin Ameri-
ca which, by their pessimism, might help
Germany to convince the Latinos that
our cause is lost and that the sister
republics should play ball with the win
nerS.
That is why many news stories which
are passed unhesitatingly for domestic
use are clipped from publications mail
ed abroad.

Portland Having
Football Problem

PORTLAND, Sept. 8-(UP) -
OVertaxed housing and eating ia
cilities in Portland presented
major problem today to the major
domos of the four top-ranking foot
ball squads scheduled to play at
Multnomah Civic stadium here
this fall
Efforts to secure hotel accom-
modations for the four teams-St.
Mary's Naval Pre-Flight school,
Santa Clara, Washington and
Washington State - have proved
fruitless so far. The pressing need
for all available railroad equipment
apparently rules out the possibility
the teams might use their pullmans
as quarters.
Inadequate help probably will
force country clubs to turn down
requests for accommodations fer
the footballers. The Waverley club
already has declined on that score.
At the moment, it appears the
teams will be required TO arrive
the morning of the game and leave
the same night,

CHECK YOUR HAT
AND GET A LIFT

Or maybe war plants should
have a good-looking hat check girl
that the men can kid a little be-
fore they start the dangerous trek
home. A pretty hat check girl
is irresistible to most men and
should give them a plenty big men,
tai lift.
Or maybe the safety people ought
to have a talk with the mems wives
and ask them to see that their
husbands homecomings are some
thing they lock forward to.
If a man knew that when he
walked through the door of his
own home he would find the little
woman looking pretty and pleas
ant; if he knew there would be a
good meal waiting for him that
ne could eat without having to
listen tc what was wrong with his
wife's day then the quitting
whistle would surely give him the
mental lift the safety people re-
gard as desirable.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

When a woman war worker
spends ten minutes at the end of
the day running a comb through
her hair, patting powder on her
nose, and applying a nice fresh
coat of lipstick she does more than
improve her looks.
She improves her chances of get
ting home without being injured
in traffic.
At least the post-Work primp-
ing women indulge in is the only
explanation safety experts have for
the fact that women war workers
are less likely to get hurt in traf-
fic on their way home from work
than are men workers
The safety solomons think primp-
ing gives women a mental lift
so that they are alert when they
leave their factories after a days
work.
The safety experts would like
to discover something that would
Go as much to wake men up after
they finish the days grind.
Maybe they ought to try;
Installing full-length mirrors
that the men would have to pass
on their way out Few men can
resist sneaking a look in a mirror,
which usually results in smoothing
down the hair, throwing the should
ers back, and feeling pretty pleased
with the result.

THE BRISKET BAIT
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

The feminine heart just naturally
turns flip-flop when Uncle Sans

down the street in his stream-lined uni
form. On the other hand, it seems the

Maybe though, despite what William
Allen White writes, they're not trying
to trap the male animal via the eXposi-
ton route. Anyway, we don't think the
men are that hard to get.

of material, between the skirts and jac-
kets, represent patriotic sacrifice, Che
it ever SO comfortably, along with the
vanishing trouser cuff.

POLICY WRONG

We think that this policy is either en-
tirely wrong, or mighty close to it. We
believe in telling the people the truth.
True, others may twist the words we've
spoken to make trap for fools, but
truth, in the long run wins. We believe
it, this country believes it, it is funda-
mental of this nations success.
The way to win Latin and Canadian
and all other favor is not LESS truth
but MORE truth.
Furthermore, this policy Of curtailing
truth for so-called practical wartime
purposes, can grow and grow until it
reaches the stage where truth is curtall-
ed too much for you and your friends,
and the voters and the people at large.
Many fear this is definitely the status
right now. We think so. Mr.. Willkie
thinks so. Speaking in Cairo the other
day he was asked his opinion and stated:
81 think the censorship is too strict.
1t ought to open up
We join with the newspapermen who
cheered, and we think the majority OF
the public will concur that the people
are not being given enough of the truth.
The power to censor is mighty easy to
abuse-and in the hands of newly train
ed novitiates to the realm of news dis
semination-well, it's like a 303O in the
hands of five-year-old child. Anything

STATE-OWNED AUTOS
CONTINUE TO ROLL
(San Diego Tribune-Sun)

(Sdn DlegO 1IlDuH6-SuH)
Reported from Sacramento, although
scores of State cars are in dead stor-
age for the duration of the war, the
State Department of Finance has APP
proved purchase of 40 new autolr oblles
and 20 trucks in the last month. 1t Is,
of course, very necessary that the State
enjoy the privileges of priorities in such
matters, and very convenient. But 1t
would make for better economy if the
State, along with other users of scarce
commodities. were required to observe
more closely the method of conservation.
No doubt, among the 40 new automo-
biles and 20 trucks purchased by the
State during the last month, some were
really required; but on the other hand,
it is reasonable to assume that some OF
the States requirements could have
been met by drawing on the large num-
Der of State-owned motor vehicles now
in dead storage. Probably the depart
ments receiving the new cars and trucks
would object to receiving used ones in
stead. That, however, is not so import
ant as the fact that the State, along with
the people, should practice what it
breaches and conserve vital war mate

REAL LABOR PARTY LOOMING

Peter Edison

If you are going to talk about a
unified labor movement you must
take into consideration all these
groups. But suppose by some mir
acle all these elements could be
brought together and a united la
Dor front of some Is million men,
bers, representing approximately a
fourth of all the working people
of the country, could be wrapped uo
in neat package.
If any such amalgamation were
achieved, a lot of the people who
are now hollering for labor peace
and why don't they quit fightin
each other and get together!"
would be screaming against it.
For, labor unity in the United
States might mean the formation
of a real labor party that could
conceivably dominate the American
political scene.
The last few weeks have seen
the demands of organized labor
for a larger voice i'm management
of the war effort repeated with
aggravating vehemencc. A. +. of
l.. and G. l. o. want as much
voice i'm controlling the American
war effort as British labor has
in the control of the British war
R.sf fcI, In
has such a loud voice is that
i'm Great Britain there is a La
Dor Party which elects members
Parliament and has its ministers
i'm the cabinet.
1t could happen here.

Capital Talk

When the AF. of L. adm C. I.
o. conferees sit down some time
toward the end of September in
their third effort to establish labor
unity and labor peace there is per-
haps only one formula they can
follow to bring results.
That is to agree to organic unity
Immediately, then work out their
differences afterward.
If the conferees decide to nego-
tiate as they have in the past, try
/ ing to find the precise answer for
every question that faces them, the
only prospect which some of the
smarter labor politicians in WASH
ington can see is another long
drawn-out series of firing meet
ings, ending in Stalemate or a
complete waShout.
The differences of opinion, the
internal battles and chickering's of
both the A. F. of L. ant c. I. O.
organizations are SO bitter that any
thought of organic unity of the
two big groups must take into con-
sideration the fact that these feuds
will most certainly continue.
Jurisdictional strikes between I'M
| ions within the A. F. of L. are
probably just as numerous as juris-
dictional strikes between A. F.. of
L. and c. I. o. Unions, and any
theoretical peace between the par
ent organizations will not solve
those local jurisdictional battles A.
F.. of L., the older of the two
groups, has had these jurisdiction
al scraps for years and has never
been able to do anything about
them.
How, then, can peace with the
c. l. o. heal these sores unless
a. f. of l.. is willing to give up
its ideas of craft unions? EX-
pecting A. F. of L. to give up that
is like asking the moon to go into
eclipse every Wednesday at mid
night. 1t can't be done.

WHAT BENEFITS ACCRUE?

Taking a cold -blooded look at
this situation, what is there to be
gained by this much sought-after
organic unity aside from the beau
tiful generalization that peace is
wonderful? In some mysterious
way it is thought that peace be-
tween the A. F.. of l.. and c. I. o.
will help win the war But how?
1t probably wouldn't reduce the
total number of jurisdictional dis
puteS.
1t might reduce the old head
aches of employers hiring from
both groups, but it might give
them new ones.
1t might end the issuing of
nasty statements by c. I. o.
President Phil Murray against A.
F. of l.. President Bill Green. and
vice versa, but it wouldn't stop
the fulminatiOns of John L. Lew
is.
1t wouldn't reduce the number of
local unions much, if any.
1t wouldn't reduce the number of
walking delegates, or business
agents.
1t wouldn't reduce the number
of labor representatives on War
Labor Board of any of the advisory
groups for the War production
Board or the War Manpower Com
mission.
1t wouldn't even unity the labor
movement.
The A. F.. of L. now claims about
Sc million members, the c. I. o.
SIS million. Outside of these two
major organizations are the million
or more members of the railroad
brotherhoods and the million or
more members of the independent
unions such as the telephone and
communications unions and the
Mechanics Educational Society of
America.
