eide crews steered up the main port
channel in sight of ferrTboat pas

Naval quarters said that the sub

certainly been sunk and that at
temptS would be made TO raise

Gen. Douglas Macarthur an
nounced in a special communlque
that three of the midget tWo-man

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

The heat is on from the sugar
'beet growers of the southwest to
import anywhere from 10000 to
100 900 Mexican poems to take off
this years crop, and thereby hangs
tale of woe. The shortage OF farm
labor is given as the excuse for
the need OF this wholesale mass
migration, but the question follows
naturally whether the United States
would not be making the same mis-
take it made in the last war if 1t
permits new migration of cheap
Mexican labor.
You'll recall what happened then
Mexican labor was imported by the
tens of thousands. Then the war
boom collapsed and the MexicanS
were stranded. From 20 to so per
cent were repatriated - no one
knows for sure just what the Zig
ure is-and the rest went on re-
lief. giving the entire southwest
rural sllim population that has
been nothing short of an inter-
national scandal. The aliens could
not be hired BY WPA, SO the full
relief burden fell on local and state
governments. The Mexican govern
ment was angry and has stayed
that way.
Mexico today is therefore re-
luctant to permit its citizens
to cross the border to take war

The Mexicans may decide they
need all their manpOwer at
home and refuse to permit any
labor migration, which would
be a good thing for all con-
cerned.
The importation of Mexican lab
or simply does not make sense. A
recent WPA sampling survey in
dicated a reserve labor supply OF Is

unemployed in the country. The

stopped the usual SuInlIleI GULL
plants that farmers couldn't get
help because everyone preferred to
work for WPA, but the big employ
ers of migrant farm labor are still
screaming. ~e-'~~~s
As far as the ZIgar beet
states are concerned, WPA rolls
as of May 10 were as follows:
Illinois $1,000, Colorado 62OO,
New Mexico 6400, Idaho 29O0
and southern California $4,000.
Michigan alone seems to have
solved its sugar beet problem,
by bringing in surplus labor
from Texas, which has $4,000
on WPA.
1t therefore appears that the
farm companies employing most of
the migrant labor don't just want
an adequate labor supply. What
they want is labor surplus so that
wages can be knocked down to
the old depression levels. And there
is hope that Mexican peon labor,
which will work for 20 cents an
hour, can be imported to keep
these wages down.
The U. S. Employment Service
was recently handed a hoe when
il was federalized by Presidential
order and told to do something
about this threatened farm labor
shortage, but it got on the job a
little late. On May Is the USES
therefore certified to the Immigra-
ton Service that unless some of
the japanese farm labor force could
be released, it would be necessary
to bring into the country to handle
the sugar beet crop 5000 workers
for California, 1900 for Montana
and 1900 for Idaho. The buck was
then passed to the new War Man
power Commission, which asked the
State Department if it would not

A BIG TEST

The Tolan committee of the
House of Representatives, investi
eating national defense labor mi
grafton, has held one closed hear
ing on this subject Of Mexican
labor, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John
O'Grady, secretary of the National
Conference of Catholic Charities,
making the principal statement.
Monsignor OGrady has been inter
ested in the welfare of the three
million Mexicans and Spanish
Americans of the southwest for a
number of years. 1t is his studied
opinion that there is ample farm
labor in the southwest to take off
all the crops of the western states
and that further immigration Of
Mexican labor is totally unneces-
sary.
The TOlan committee, in a
preliminary report, has put this
whole farm labor problem right
up TO the Manpower Commits
sion and the Employment Ser
vice, recommending complete
overhauIing of the federal farm
placement machinery. Solving
this farm labor problem immed-
lately is the Manpower Com
missions first big test.

Lucky PROPOSES

Sailors generally believe that
porpoises bring luck when they
follow a ship. This is a very old
story. It dates from the days
when people believed in a sea-god
who was constantly at war with
the spirits of the winds. This sea-
god was supposed to be attended
always by dolphins.
Now porpoises are very similar
to dolphins, so if a sailor sees
porpoises gambolling about his
ship he knows the sea-god is for
the time victorious over storms
and gales, and therefore the voy-
age win be prosperous.

Both were very proud of their
vocal abilities: for months they
had squabbled over the question
as to which possessed the better
voice. At last, to settle bets they
had made with each other, they
arranged to give recital before
an eminent professor and abide by
his judgment.
When they had concluded, the
professor turned to the first, shak-
ing his head sorrowfully.
"You're the worst singer I've
ever heard" he said.
''Hurrah!" shouted the other.
"Come on! Pay me that fiver!"
Zone moment, please" said the
professor, quietly. "You-er-

PREPAREDNESS
~ the
AMERICAN RED CROSS

THE making of large numbers
4 of surgical dressings for the
armed forces in wartime is one
Of the principal duties Of the
American Red Cross.
Immediately after the outbreak
of the world war in Europe in
September, 1889, more than 500
Red Cross chapters throughout
the nation began making large
quantities of surgical dressings for
our army and navy. In addition,
a large number of dressings were
made to be used by Red Cross
relief organizations caring for the
suffering civilian population in the
war-torn countries of Europe.
AS the war progressed and
spread to more and more
nations of the world, this pro-
gram Of surgical dressings
was gradually enlarged and
extended to Red Cross chap
tiers in practically every c0un-
ty in the United States. To-
day more than 5000 Red
Cross chapters are busily en-
gagged in making surgical
dressings for our army and
navy according to standard
specifications and methods
furnished by them.
More than two million women
throughout the nation are now
making surgical dressings for our
armed forces under this program.
By the end of October, 1912, they
had made more than a hundred
million dressings of all kinds and
were embarking on a very large
program for the coming year.
The making of surgical dressings
is very important work in which
nearly every woman can partici-
pate, no matter where she is To-
Gated or how little time she can
spare. Many thousands of volun-
teers are needed for this work
and every one of the $3.50 Red
Cross chapters participating in
this program in nearly every
county in the United States needs
help. sq
During the past month, ten mil
lion surgical dressings made by
volunteers in American Red Cross
workroorns were sent to Russia

Stalingrad. III, 81 IS

Some years ago 16-year-old
girl sat at a switchboard in a
small Alabama town, worried
over whether she could keep up
with the telephone rush of a
typical cotton-picking season in
the South.
Today that girl, Miss Laura
Schroeder, looks back upon a
busy career at the switchboard
as she observes her 30th service
anniversary with the nation
wide Bell System and her 18th
year as chief operator at the
Michigan Bell Telephone Com
pany's central office at Birm-
ingham. That first emergency at
cotton picking time in Alabama
has been succeeded by others
that were bigger, including the
experience of getting call s
through during two world wars.
Miss Schroeder's first job was
with the Southern Bell Tele-
phone Company in her home
town of Cullman, Alabama. She
remained there more than five
years, working through an
earthquake before coming to
Michigan early in 1918 as an op-
Gator for the Michigan Bell
I'Company at Pontiac. Before the
end of the year, she was a long
distance supervisor and three
years later was promoted to
evening chief operator at the
same office.
SERVED IN EPIDEMIC
Shortly after going to Pom
tiac, Miss Schroeder found her
self in the midst of the great in
fluenza epidemic of the first
world war. She worked seven
successive weeks without a day
off, relieving sick operators at
times as well as performing her
own tasks.
Then came the fake Armistice
and the real Armistice, and the
switchboard at Pontiac wa S
damned with calls. In the peace
that followed, life of an oper-
ator became more normal until
1922, when the long distance
switchboard at Pontiac was
dead for two full days as a re-
suit of this areas worst sleet
storm of modern times.
Miss Schroeder was promoted
to chief operator at Birmingham
in 1927 and remained in that
capacity until August of this
year when she was transferred to
Mount Clemens as chief opera
tor pending the conversion of
this office to dial operation.
All of her previous expert
ence faded into comparative in
significance when America en-
tered the second world war last
