often mere courtesies. and not at all
indicative of what's ahead. There are
many straws in the Spanish winds
that are disturbing.
Franco has sent his ablest military
man-General Don Juan Vague y
Blanco-not to the French (now Nazi)
border but rather to Spanish Morocco
which has long been center of in
trigue and propaganda against the
United Nations. Strategically, Span
ish Morocco is vital. From it's military
center, Ceuta, the Strait of Gibraltar
can be controlled just as effectively as
from the British fortress. General
Luiz Oraz, Spanish High Commission
in Morocco-appointed in May, 1941
is violently pro-Nazi.
Ceuta and Mellilla are bases from
which the Nazis have been spying on
what goes on in Gibraltar and on
United Nations shipping. Nazi sub
marines have made good use of Span
ish-African facilities. Franco has
about 120-15O,000 of his best troops
here-inclusive of the Moorish Corps
which has been well-equipped by
Hitler.

FACIN N G.
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Two SlgnlrcanC events, occurring
almost simultaneously, merit more
than casual consideration by anyone
interested in the immediate and fu
ture welfare Of our country.
The first was the demise of the
WPA, created during the depths OF
the depression to provide artificial
Jobs for millions of workers who were
thrown out of their jobs by the fearful
dislocation of industry.
The second was President Roose-
velt's new Executive Order, centraliz-
ing control over all manpower and
womanpower in the War Manpower
Commission under the direction of
Paul V. McNutt.
We can shed no tears over the
WPA even though it performed a
highly necessary function during its
lifetime in sustaining large numbers
of American citizens who were made
idle through no fault of their own
Today, with the nation at war and
desperately in need of an ever increas-
ing production of munitions, it is sin
to waste manpower on experimental
projects.
On the contrary, signs multiply that
there is developing shortage of man
power as more and more of our able
bodied young men are lnducted into
the armed forces. That is why Presi-
dent Roosevelt has established the
new manpower setup-to conserve
available manpower.
Voluntary Methods Work
Never before in the history of our
country has the Government assumed
such power over the lives and
destinies of it's citizens as are now
lodged in the Manpower Commission.
1t can decide through the Selective
Service System-now a part OF the
unified setup-whether a man should
be inducted into the armed service or
whether he shall be permitted to con-
tinue at his present occupation.
AS yet the commission has no power
to sfreeze" workers to their jobs. But
it can recommend that such action be
undertaken on voluntary basis.
The commission has no control over
wages, but it can recommend wage ad-
justments in order to keep manpower
available for specific industries suf-
fering from an exodus of workers to
better paid jobs elsewhere.
The success of the new manpower
setup depends upon wise administra-
ton and sincere devotion to demo-
cratic processes. Experience in this
war thus far has proven the value and
efficiency of voluntary methods. 1t the
commission adheres to the principles
of democracy and voluntarism, we
predict it will receive the whole
hearted support Of American workers
and the labor organizations that
represent them. But if, instead, the
commission seeks shortcuts to its OBJ
jectives by compulsory methods, it
will undoubtedly encounter trouble.
We feel confident that Mr.. McNutt
will follow the wise course and seek
the full cooperation of organized
labor to make his program effective
because he has consistently done so in
the past.
Mobilization In Peacetime
From a long-range view, the ma
tion's present manpower plight makes
us wonder how things ever came 10
such pass that the Government had
to create the WPA.
The present mobilization of man
power for war raises the question why

Working on the Teachers

From Washington Teamster, Seattle
The National Association of Manu-
facturers is working on the school
teachers of the nation, trying to sell
them on the idea that the poor folks
should pay most of the taxes. If the
teachers fall for that bunk, they'll
learn how really to be poor. The
NAM isn't an educational society, it's

TOO many Dutch babies are being
/ named Winston and Franklin to
suit the Nazi occupation authorities in
Holland. The Nazis think that VIM
ston Churchill and Franklin d.
Roosevelt are sufficiently annoying in
themselves without having their min
ature counterparts running around
the country. In the early part of No
vember the Secretary General of JUS
tice therefore sent the following cir
cular to Hollands registrars:
"It has happened repeatedly that
parents have chosen names for their
children to express their political dis
position. 1t is clear that giving such
names is not only an undesirable
demonstration which might cause
German authorities to take measures
against the demonstrators but can
occur only with the cooperation of
the registrars.
"When the registrar does not sue
ceed in dissuading parents from their
intention, he may inscribe only the
first of the chosen names. Other
names, openly challenging German
authorities, such as Franklin or Win
ston, are not allowed. In such a case
the certificate will include only those
chosen names against which there is
no objection or, otherwise, the first
name of the father or mother"
A sidelight on life in Holland under
the Nazis is given by Rotterdam
newspaper which reports that fish
peddlers have been compelled to carry
a tape measure attached to their
carts, to permit customers to check VI
on the size of their prospective pur.
chases before buying.
Because of the limited supply o1
fish, the edict also prohibits itinerant
fish peddling and establishes a maxi.
