WHEN THE STATE USURPS
PARENTAL SUPERVISION

Seemingly, only one of three things
can save Imperial Valley farmers from
severe loss on account OF the shortage
of farm labor, and the nation from an
equally severe loss of the farm produce
needed so badly to feed the war machine.
The three things are:
l. Appearance from nowhere of a
large body of farm laborers.
2. Importation of Mexican harvest
hands from Mexico.
8. Mobilization of non-farm workers,
including students, to harvest the crops.
The first is obviously impossible and
the second is a subject for separate con-
sideration. In the third, with particular
reference to students. there is little chance
of alienation unless California's social
istic Little New Deal" is willing to fore
go laws which virtually prevent any boy
or girl under the age of Is from working
without first going through such a cob
web mesh of red tape that most persons
tire before they have started with it.
Additionally, the state law prevents
any child" under 1s from working at
all between 10 pm. and early in the
morning Considering that most of I'M
perial Valleys summertime farm work
is done after dark, to avoid the heat of
the open fields, the law practically nulli-
fies any hope of sustained help from
students who might be willing to lend
hand in the emergency.
The law, and the administration of it,
presents the biggest step toward social
ism that has been taken anywhere in the
country. 1t replaces parental authority
over children with state authority over
them 1t goes much farther than even
Washington has dreamed of going. Proof
of that is not lacking. One case will SUI
flee:
From Washington comes a pamphlet
recommending, among other things, that
schools be let out week or so early in
order that students may help with the
harvests throughout the country. Cali
fornia's state law, the so-called child la
Dor law, would result in most of the stu
dents being merely idle if school were
discharged early in this state.

PLANS TO ENSLAVE WORLD

Jacksonville Register)
Every man who works for a livelihood
should read the announcement of Hltler,s
plans to make slaves of all European
workmen Then, every man who works
should take fresh grip on his tools and
bore into it with determination to increase
his productiveneSS in the national effort
to stamp out Hitlerism in the world.
A gigantic plan for permanent enslave
ment of European workers latter the
German victory" is brazenly disclosed in
the recent announcement from Berlin;
Under a plan announced by Chief OF
Cabinet Biegiebel of the German labor
ministry, the German government would
form a pool of labor in all European
countries, so that workers, men and WOm-
en-, might be shifted anywhere as it desir
ed.
After the German victory there will
be no unemployment in Europe" Bieg-
iebel said. "No country will be allowed
to deal with its labor problems lndepend-
emily. Excess labor will be obliged to
shift to places where there is lack OF
labor Foreign workers must have the
same rights and obligations as natives.
and the problem of wages must be solved
The magazine Das Schwarze KOrps, or
gan of the "SS' bodyguard storm troops,
which is often a step ahead of German
civilian authorities in thouqht, said that
in Germany henceforth Nobody has
rights and everybody has only duties"
That's the kind of world our children
will be living in if we permit the axis
gangsters to win this war If we did not
know it before, we know now that we
MUST win this war. And since we must
win it, let's throw in everything we have
and win it quickly, so that decencv and
human rights may again have chance
in the world scheme Of life.

OPTIMISTS CAN'T BE
CHANGED BY TALKING
(Oroville Mercury -Register)

(OroVllle Mercury -heglSter)
No matter what the high government
official" says about a long war, the con-
firmed optimist isn't going to believe
him. The confirmed optimist is going to
continue saying that Germany will blow
up suddenly because Germany blew up
suddenly to end the first world war. That
may happen, but present indications
don't say so.
One reason why the official statement
of Thursday will be ineffective is that
other officials have been making state
mentS with the reverse effect, such as
that by Secretary Hull the day before
when he said that this war may end more
quickly than we had expected.
Another reason for the ecstatic optim-
ism is tie attitude of the army and navy
themselves They have been overrating
the U. S. raids on Japan and underrat-
ing the effect of the disastrous Burma
campaign and other defeats
AS some are saying, the war could be
lost this year, but it cannot be won this
year.
We must not think that Hitler has let
loose his war machine He is not running
short on tanks, as result of the Khar-
kov battles, as we heard a commentator
suggest. Does anyone believe that the
work of German factories during an en-
tire winter could be nullified by battle
extending over less than 10 days?
But the confirmed optimists are that
wav because they read the good news and
avoid the bad. They will continue to do
this.
