BASIS OF
CHINA'S MORALE
Jacksonville Register)

wv WatS0nVllle ReglSter)
Twelve guiding principles that are
being widely taught by Chang Kai-shek
in China might very we'll be learned and
observed by the rest of u.s. The list, writ
ten by the generalissimo himself and
required to be studied by all public Off
cials and employees, military men and
students, is as follows:
l. Loyalty and courage are the basis
of patriotism.
2. Filial devotion is the basis of an
orderly family.
3. Goodwill and charity are the basis
of harmonious relationships
4. Faithfulness and uprightness are
the basis of a successful career.
B. Peaceableness is the basis of getting
on with the world.
g. Courtesy and self-control are the
basis of good administration.
T. Obedience is the basis of bearing
responsibility.
8. Diligence and thrift are the basis of
service.
g. Orderliness and cleanliness are the
basis of physical health.
10. Helpfulness is the basis of happi-
ness.
II. knowledge is the basis of helping
the world
II. Persistence is the basis of achieve
ment.
Chang Kai-shek says, "China After
Five Years of War;" long has placed spe-
cial emphasis on spiritual training for
his men. He argues that with courage
and discipline one man can accomplish
the work of two. He would make up
China's deficiency in equipment by her
fighting spirit. The II dicta quoted
above are the basis of the spiritual train
ing, and out of them have developed 10
special rules for soldiers.
No wonder that Japan with all its
military preparedness and might has so
far been utterly unable to defeat the
Chinese.

IT IS YOUR
CONSTITUTION
California Legionnaire)

California LegiOnaire)
September is Constitution Month. .
What does that mean? And why should
you observe it?
1t means that when the war is over we
face a period of reconstruction more vital
than the problems of the Sixties and
more difficult of solution. War neces-
Sarily involves autocratic powers, but
even if a successful war be Waged that
success is valueless if it fails at large the
institutions which are declared in the
Constitution of the United States.
Constitution Month is devoted not to
war activities, but to that human liberty
and right of individual initiative which
is our heritage from centuries of sacrifice
and blood-the priceless heritage of free
dom-that we shall have government by
law and not of men.
The American way of life was based
on a new order of things in the beginning.
1t recognized the inalenable rights of its
citizens, which are well defined and
which no government on earth hat just
right to abridge or withhold. Under this
way of life millions have tasted the joys
of freedom and have proSpered thereby.
Today, as millions in other lands are be-
ing denied these rights, we should appre-
ciate more than ever before the privileges
which have been ours, and see to 1t that
they shall continue.
The Constitution belongs to each and
every person in the United States-it is
the individuals personal property-and
his to guard and cherish.

PLANES POPULARIZED

Airplane travel will be reVolu-
tionized. Cheap, nearly foolprcof
planes will be at the disposal OF
the man who owned flivver a few
years before. Huge freighter planes,
transocean airliners, glider passen-
ger lines-all possible and prac-
tical.
In the aviation industry, new
steel alloys have seriously chal-
Ienged the lighter metals-mag-
nesium and aluminum-and fu
ture airplane construction is a
pretty good bet to depend heav-
lily on the ever-develOping, i'm
mensely strong alloys.
New departures in the fertilizer
field may revolutionize agriculture
PlyWood, plastics, rustless steelS and
composition boards will turn the
housing situation topsy-turvy. You
may be living in a prefabricateo
mansion whose rooms, at cost OF
from $500 to $500, are literally but
toned together.
Your roof will be stainless steel
and your walls will be as strong
as stone, but light as paneling
Inside will be automatic lighting

age. Knox said he didn't notice
that such action had been taken
But he did recall that the Legion
went on record as favoring contln-
uation of voluntary enlistments to
meet Navy personnel needs.
MARINE REPORTERS
Commenting on published reports
that the armed services were as
suming more and more the JOB OF
reporting the war for the American
Press, Knox said the only such ten
dency he knew about was what the
Martens were doing.
The Marine corps, he said, is ac-
cepting for enlistment some young
er neWspapermen and training
them to be regular fighting Marines.
These men serve as combat report
ers. writing feature stories rather
than covering spot news"
They write what the newspaper
correspondent does not see because
the combat reporters are in the
thick of it, he said.
At the same time he paid tribute
to war correspondents for their
daring and sacrifices to keep the
public informed.
Il think we all ought to feel a
great sense of pride at the long
chance these men are taking to
get the news" he said. 1T is very
admirable and creditable to the
profession. I have to restrain my
own people-on the Chicago Daily

of the night bombing would be done
by the Royal air force.
But he intimated that when
sufficient force of army planes had
reached the British Isles, the Amerl-
can air force would aid the British
in night raids also.

WASHINGTON, Sept. % CUP)
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
said today that the Navy expected
the japanese to make big push"
to retake the Solomon islands.
Asked at his press conference
about continued rumors of a big
japanese drive on the American
positions in the islands, he said;
"Of course, that is a safe and
sound assumption. We operate on
that basis. To do otherwise would
be foolish over confidence.
Knox, who returned last night
from the American Legion conven-
ton at Kansas City, Mo, said he
was tremendously inspired and
gratified' by the action taken by
the convention. He said he was in
sympathy with about everything
they did"
UNIVERSAL DRAFT
Among the action he cited was
the Legion's reiteration in favor
of universal draft oI men, materials
and wealth.
Asked whether he favored such a
draft, Knox replied:
In abstract fashion, it is a sound
principle. Everyone must agree
With it. But it is rather difficult
to work out in detail. The admin
istration is working toward that
goal - universal sacrifice. That's
what totalitarian war means"

pathy with the Legion's endorse
ment of a lowering of the draft

GIVING FEC MORE POWER
WONT AVERT MENACE

On the same day this column printed
an editorial pointing out that Music
Union Gar James Caesar Petrillo is per-
fectly within his legal rights in his de-
fiance of the United States governments
wishes and the negation of private rights
of numerous individuals and business
concerns, official confirmation of that
fact came from Washington officialdom.
Chairman James L. Fly of the Federal
Communications Commission told a SEN
ate interstate commerce subcommittee
that his agency is pOWerlesS to deal with
Petrillo's ban on recorded or transcribed
music for broadcasting, because the law
is 'inadequate.'
Mr.. Fly's official interest is. of course,
limited to the jurisdiction of the FEC.
Perhaps that was why he limited that
congress should change the law to give
FEC power to deal with persons like
Petrillo At present the commissions
authority is limited to radio stations
alone, and the only penalty that can be
inflicted is revocation of the stations
license.
We are not sufficiently familiar with
the law creating and empowering the
commission to discuss the deSirablllty OF
changing it. We are suspicious after all
these years, of any request by any fed
eral agency for still more power. That
is beyond the point in this discussion,
however.
The fact is that the Petrillo problem
would not be solved by improving the
FEC legislative framework. Unless the
commission were allowed to go far be-
yond its original scope, into fields not
even distantly related to public communl-
cations, Petrillo would remain an aggrav-
alton and public danger in spite OF all
FEC could do.
FEC could not prevent Petrillo from
forbidding school orchestras to perform
in public buildings, for instance. He has
done that successfully. FEC could not
prevent Petrillo from finding a member
of his union for appearing at public
benefit as a non-performing member OF
the mayors committee when the union
subject had been forbidden to play at
the benefit This, also, Petrillo did sue
cessfully.
What this country needs is not so
much change in the FEC law as an over
all law which will completely outlaw
union racketeering against the public
interest whether it be in the field of
music, manufacture or farming.

PLASTICS PLENTIFUL

The nation will come out of the
war with capacities for making
plastics, synthetic fiberS, nltrates,
hydrocarbons, high octane fuels and
hundreds of other commodities on
scale that was beyond belief a few
years ago. The sea itself, now
Welding only bromine and mag
nesium as its chief structural pro-
ducts. contains traces of every ele-
ment found on land DR.. Stine be-
lieves we are entering a stagger-
ingly bizarre new field of chemistry.
Crude oil currently is the chem
ist's wonderland. Catalytic crack
ing processes, giving the chem
ist building blocks of hydrogen
and carbon, are pointing to new
sources of acids, alcohOls, solvents,
esters, pharmaceutics every
imaginable type of synthetic.
Plastics, comparatively new in
dustry, will give us mass production
Of materials made of air, water
and coal-unbreakable glass and
glass that will float, wood that
won't burn and shoes with no leath-
] er, window screens without wire
and machinery bearings that con-
tain no metal.
Our cars will be half as heavy,
and new cooling devices may end
forever the necessity of adding
water to the radiator. High cctane
fuels may give us so miles to the
gallon, and the tire of the future
will be a distant relative to the
old tire we knew. The motor car
industry, since production stopped
already has aged more than 10
years.

BY ROBERT RUARK

BY ROBERT RUARK
A recent address by DR.. Charles
Stine. vice president of E. I. Dupont
! de Nemours and Co. paints a post
war picture which makes life in
the future akin to living in world
of sheer magic. DR.. Stine's scien-
tific postwar world is to be a thing
as far removed from modern life as
the present contrasted to the per-
iod before World War I.
Americas entire economic destiny
was changed by the last war. out
of that crucible came the auto age,
the development of the aviation in
dustry. the radio, molten picture,
telephone and rayon industries.
Americas way of life changed, mil
lions came to the cities, and wo-
man. for centuries shackled to the
home, abruptly burst forth to COM
pete with man in every field.
This war, says DIR. Stine, will
shape our destiny much more
strongly than did the last. Science
now devoting its fullest powers
to destruction, will turn those
powers to constructive ends. and
our lives will be revOlutiOnized.
To quote DIR. Slime:
More than a century was con-
sumed to bring the worlds crude
rubber production up to a million
tons yearly America alone, now
is attempting to do that in two
years, by the manufacture of rubber
from petroleum, alcohol and coal.
BY the end of 1943, our aluminium
production will be seven times
greater than was possible in 1899,
after 80 years of development.
Magnesium, extracted from brine
and sea water, will amount to more
than 100 times that produced in
1899. when the magnesium industry
was "a years old.

PETRILLO NOT ALONE
IN HIS CHURLISHNESS

Petrillo is not an individual villain sud-
denly set up by his own efforts in place
of national notoriety. He is a manifesto
ton of plague which has been creeping
across the nation for almost decade,
the plague of serfdom in which free peo-
pie have surrendered their rights and
liberties to the dictatorship of racketeers
in control of some labor unions.
To make sure that Petrillo's greedy ar
rogance is beaten down-as we hope soon
to beat down the greedy arrogance of
another dictator, Hitler-we must make
sure that another will not rise in his place
to cause the same disturbances.
No law which controls only Petrillo
can succeed in stamping out the pastilence
of which he is proof. Nor can any such
law be enated, if we abide by the Ameri
can conception that no individual should
be legislated against.
After ALL it is not Petrillo we are
fighting 1t is the things he has done.
We must make it impossible for those
things to be done again, no matter what
the field in which they appear.
