Slavin is working out plans to sup

In operation during the last war.
The only Jail inmates who would
be allowed to do such farm work,
Sheriff Slavin said, would be men
serving sentences for drunkenness.
They would be transported from
the jail to the farms each morning
and brought back every evening.
About the only points to be
worked out for the program, the
sheriff said, are thoseNof paying the
transportation costs and the fixing
of a proper charge for the mems
labor. At least one dollar day
would have to be paid to the county
Jail to cover its fee for maintenance
of each man, and 1t has been pro-

day be collected for each man to

There is a lot of this reasoning The
senior partner in the Axis organization
has discovered tat whereas his blitz
methods work fine in small areas they
aren't so successful when the defense
can be set up on depth basis He found
this out in Russia, as Japan has found
it out in China. There was one defense
line after another, Stringing out COM
munication and supply lines, with oppor-
tunity for enemy flank attacks. He
found out that the invaded country's
air fields could be too numerous and too
far behind the lines for sudden destruc-
ton. In other words, an invader can bog
down in a big country.
India and Australia are big countries.
They can be defended They would re-
quire many garriSOnS by force of Occu-
patton. Japan could occupy itself for
long time in Australia or India, and
meanwhile Russia could attack from
Japan'S rear, with knockout blow
These reasons combine to make it likely
that Japan will try to clean up on its
nearby enemy before further extending

INCONSISTENCY IN
PROFIT THEORIES

One of the StrangeSt polltlcal-economlc
Inconsistencies of the last eight and a
half years has been brought to light in
the New Deal administration opposition
to statutory limits on war contract prof
its.
For eight yearS-the first two terms
of the New Deal-the administration
economists argued in favor of limiting
profits and generally restricting business
transactions because, they said, manage
ment would be forced thereby to turn
more income into wages for labor and
national prosperity would be revived.
Then war was declared.
Now the administration economists
are arguing against limiting profits on
war contracts because, they say, to do SO
would be to discourage management
enthusiasm for the war effort and slow
down production.
Our humble way of looking at it is this:
They needed management's enthusiasm
in those eight depression years-the kind
of enthusiasm that would have been gen.
Grated by few less restrictions on what
they called excess profits" but what
was really the private money that busi-
ness would have used to expand factor
les and put in new machinery, thus auto
matically hiring more men and lncreas-
ing the national income. The restric-
tions then were bad
Management's enthusiasm today is a
matter of winning the war, not of amass-
ing profits from taX-made funds. There
are exceptions, of course, but the pres
sure of public opinion alone would force
them into line if they attempted anything
less than maximum production. Busi-
ness as a whole does not need the lure of
exhorbitant profits today, and that part
of business which attempts to obtain
them should be restricted, legally. Re-
strctions now would be good.

COURTS ON LABOR
(GrasS Valley UniOn)

(GrasS Valley UniOn)
Both the United States Supreme Court
and the California Supreme Court have
to some extent reinstated themselves in
public confidence by handing down dec-
siOns in labor and economic cases which
obviously do not represent the sentiments
of the respective executive, federal or
state
The California Supreme Court recent
ly cut away legal support for so-called
peaceful picketing which oftimes took on
mass and violent forms, and the high
United States court later ruled that any
state has the right to prohibit beef
squad picketing if it desired to do so.
Under this ruling, pickets may by legisla-
ton be limited to the actual employees of
the individuaI or firm picketed.
These rulings, coupled with various
related incidents, indicate that saner
day is dawning in the relationships be-
tween labor and industry.

EVERY DAY IS ARMY
DAY THESE DAYS

The nations celebration of Army
Day has passed-according to the cal
endaf. But every Gay will be Army Day
IN the United States as long as this war
lasts, and Navy Day, too. Until victory
has been won, there is nothing more i'm
portant 70 the American people-to you
and than the Army and Navy. Nobody
is more important than the people who
make up those services
The Army and Navy stand between us
and national death. If they were to fail,
which is unlikely, there would be none of
the old life left for us. Our conceptions
of liberty and freedom might as well not
exist, if our Army and Navy fail. Our
homes, our jobs, our buSineSSeS-none of
them would remain as we have known
them.
Before everything, above everything in
Importance these days-today and to-
morrow and the next day-are the Army
and Navy. For them civilians must work
longer and harder For them, govern
ment must plan more shrewdly and exc
cute more rapidly. Our whole national
life must be devoted every day-and not
just one day-to seeing that our Army
and Navy have everything they need,
just as quickly as it can be given to them.
The men who paraded through El Cen
