PATRIOTIC u. s. LABOR
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

PATRIOTIC U. s. LABOR
AND SOMETHING DIFFERENT
FIFTY union delegates called for
mass meeting of workers in Pacific
coast airplane plants to vote on the
question of a strike which, II ap-
proved by the workers, would tie up
the greatest portion of our armed
forces. 1t was in opposition to a
decision of the War Labor board
against pay increase of 95 cents
an hour for beginners.
The A. F. of L., of which these
delegates are members, made an
agreement with the President not to
strike for the duration of the war,
but evidently the word of the A. F. OF
L. is meaningless so far as its Of
ficials are concerned. To them the
fact that the nation is at war does
not mean a thing. Their demands
are imperative. They refused to ac-
cept compromise of 80 cents an
hour for beginners, not because those
workers who were learning the busi-
ness of building airplanes were not
satisfied, but to enforce the demands
of the union racketeers.
1t is of such people we would make
heroes (?). We sing their praise and
put them in class along with the
men who would fly those planes, who
would gamble with death that Amer
lea might be free. We say such peo-
pie are essential to the war effort.
We give them unlimited gas and
tires when others, including the
food-producing farmers, are limited
in the gas and tires they can have
for use in the production of food.
Labor, whether it be union or
otherwise, is not represented by such
racketeers. The average American,
whether he wears overalls or the
garb of the business office, is patri-
otic. 1t is the racketeer who cares
nothing for the fate of the nation
who has no interest in the life or
death of our boys on the battle lines,
whose word to the President is Of
no value.
Such people are not heroes. They
have no right to preferred treatment.
They are saboteurs and should be
dealt with as such. There is no
place in our free America for their
class. They do not represent pa
triotic American labor.

DIES COMMITTEE:
Ne1U Lease on Life

The American people indicated
clearly that they wanted the work
Of the Dies committee continued,
even though some of them did not
always agree with its methods of in
vestigating un-American activities.
This was evident in the over
whelming congressional vote of 302
to "a to extend the committees
work for another two years. In re-
porting on its achievements, Con-
gresham Dies pointed out that the
army, navy, Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and other government
agencies had made $4,000 requests
for information about subversive ell
ements and that 1900 federal agents
had consulted the committees files.

JAP REVERSES:
Spur u. S. Ofensive

With Guadalcanal completely
cleared of Japs, u. S. forces in the
southwest Pacific had prepared for
new offensive action.
How costly had been the Nippon
ese effort to hold this key island
and their foothold in the Buna-G Coma
area Of New Guinea was disclosed
in estimates of enemy casualties.
These estimates indicated that Ja-
pan had lost 10000 men killed, 200
ships sunk or damaged and 1000
planes destroyed in these defeats.
More than two-thirds Of these losses
were sustained in the southern Solo
mons.
Allied air raid activity, strafed
Jap-held positions on Kolombangara
and Munda. Meanwhile In New
Guinea American and Australian
troops opened up a long-awaited
drive on Salamaua. First activity
had consisted of skirmishes In which
enemy forces were pushed back in
the Wau-Mubo area, 35 miles south
west of Salamaua. While this at
tack was on a minor scale, the
tempo was being increased with the
Allies definitely taking the offensive.

PACIFIC BASES:
For Peace Insurance

Victory over japan In the Pacific
would not solve the problem Of fu-

increasingly clear that such insur-

chain of air and naval bases across
the Pacific.
Immediate steps to implement
this movement were taken when

SENATE PROBE:
To Study Food

AS the threat of a possible food
shortage loomed more ominously,
the senate agriculture committee
ordered an investigation into the
production, transportation and dis
tribution of foodstuifs.
Stating that such threatened
shortage had been aggravated by
executive department policies "6I-
rectly contrary to the Will OF the
people," the committee authorized
an investigation OF "all policies CT
government which appeared TO I'm
peril the production and distribution
of adequate food supplies for armed
forces, our civilian population and
our Allies"
Chairman Smith Of South Carolina
said the committee intended to "ac-
quaint the American people with the
food situation" depending on pub
lie opinion to correct any ineQui-
ties.

One thing a soldier is afraid of
is a display of emotion. That's
why his slang so often sounds de-
rogatory. For example, he refers
to the silver eagles on his colonels
shoulder straps as "buzzards.
But when he speaks of his favorite
cigarette, he says: tCamels.
They're first with men in the
Army as well as with Sailors, Ma
rines, and Coast Guardsmen. (Ac-
cording to actual sales records in
service mems stores.) A gift of
carton of Camels is always well
received. Local tobacco dealers
are featuring Camel cartons to
send to any member of our armed
forces. Hint for the day: Send

DEFINITION OF WANT, NEED
is DIFFICULT

FREEDOM from "want" or free
dom from "need," whichever we
may term it, is a generality. Who
can define want" or "need"? Do
we mean freedom from starvation or
freedom from freezing? Much less
than l per cent of the American
people die from lack of food or lack
of warmth.
What may be "want" or "need"
for one, may be luxury for another.
The Joneses have two cars; the
Browns have only one. The Browns
want" another car, but is that the
"want" we are expected to provide7
Farmer Smith has 320 acres of land,
while Farmer Green has only 160
acres. Farmer Green wants" 800
acres. Will it solve any problem
to take 160 acres of Farmer Smiths
land and give it to Farmer Green?
Freedom from "want" or freedom
from need" may express beauti-
full idealism, but before we can work
at a solution to such a problem as
it may cover, we should know what
may constitute "want" or need"
and just how much of a problem
that may be.
1t has been reported that one
third of our people are poorly fed,
poorly clothed and poorly housed.
From what standards do we meas
ure or make our comparisons?
The fact is we should set stand
ards by individuals. If those who
live in but one room desire two
rooms, we should make it possible
for them to acquire two rooms, if
they want them badly enough to
work to get them.
Freedom from want" or freedom
from "need" really means the op-
portunity to work, to acquire, to
save. The world cannot do much
for those who, given the opportunity
to work and acquire and save, re-
fuse to grasp the opportunity so Of
fered, but expect society to protect
them, without any effort on their
part.
We can create opportunity for the
individual through production. We
must make things before they can
be divided, and the American sys-
tenn has offered the individual far
greater opportunity than can be
found in any other nation.
Possibly we might encourage the
introduction of the American system
into other nations for the benefit of
less fortunate peoples and so do
much toward solving the world prob
lens.
1T IS A SAFE BET that when the
final chapter of this war is written,
there will be no factories left in
Germany in which war equipment
can be produced.
QUITE NATURALLY, we hear
much more of the army and the
navy than of the marines, until there
is real hard fighting job to be done.
1t is then that the leathernecks
are called for, as in the Solomon
Islands.
JUST REMEMBER the miners ir
the anthracite coal fields of Penn
sylvania struck against the arbitrary
raising of their union dues by John
Mitchell. Their original demands
did not include raise in wages. The
worm did turn.
WITH THE INCREASED TAXES
congress is expected to levy, and in
cluding local, state and the various
federal collections for the year 1943,
we will be paying the government
approximately so cents out of each
dollar we get. But that is not too
high price to pay for freedom.

ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE
IS COMING TO MEXICO

Thus Mexico is becoming independent
economically as we'll as politically, which
she did from Spain 113 years ago.
Government officials of the southern
state have demonstrated time and time
again that the famed social hospitality
of the MeXicans is also extended in other
matters.
This was evidenced in the twin cities of
Imperial Valley, CaleXico, on the north
ern side of the border, and Mexicah, on
the southern side, when troops crossed
back and forth between the two cities
in September 10th parade. Soldiers of
the United States and Mexican guards
men each trod on foreign soil during the
celebration but it was friendly foreign
SOIL Great metal monsters filled with
our men rumbled through the dusty
streets of Mexicah, capital of the north
ern province of Lower California. MeXl-
can volunteers marched through the
thronglined streets in Calexico in a COM
plete demonstration of harmony between
the two nations
Cooperating fully in wartime meas
ures, the Mexicans have rapidly won the
esteem of our officials in Washington.
They have formed volunteer defense
units. have conscripted many youths into
the Mexican army and have even lnsti-
tuted a system of rationing products
made scarce by the war.
No better example can be found of the
esteem with which our leaders hold Mex
ico than the fact that Gen. George Mar
shall, chief of the U. S. army staff, chose
September 16 to be in Mexico.
On Maxico's independence day our two
nations are taking every measure to make
sure that the country just below the u. S.
boundary will always remain free.

MEXICO CELEBRATES
HER INDEPENDENCE

Mexico, our good friend and ally to
the south, has better reason than ever
before this September 16 to celebrate
her independence.
In the midst of a war into which it did
not enter in spirit of conquest or am
bition, the nation Of Mexico is emerging
from a position of semi-dependency to
its rightful place as one of the worlds
democratic and progressive republics.
Mexico did not have to go into this war.
She did it of her own free will because
she was enraged with the atrocities of the
Axis powers and realized that the fate
of occupied nations could easily become
her fate.
Undoubtedly she was swayed by her
friendship with her sister republic to
the north, the United States, but more
than that she entered the war to help
Danish aggression forever.
Mexico has not shirked one infinitesi-
NAL duty since taking up the sword. Mex
lean agricultural laborers have poured
into the United States to take the places
of our workers who entered the armed
forces. She is playing a very real and
vital part in our war economy.
New industries have sprung up in the
interior states of Mexico to provide weap-
ons for our fighting men and to replace
many articles which always before had
been imported from other countries.

NAVY CAPTURES WELLESLEY

milwaukee JournaD
Two hundred officers of the naval sup
ply corps, heretofore domiciled at Harv-
ard University, are being moved to the
classic shades of Wellesley College, hith-
erto devoted solely to the female sex.
The route from Cambridge to Welles-
ley by all accounts is not unknown to
men residing at Harvard in the hope of
their parents that they will acquire edu-
cation. Many years ago, the suggestion
was heard that Harvard should annex
Wellesley. A good many Harvard grad
yates did what they could, individually,
to bring this about But it remained for
the Navy to take bold action and have
Wellesley annex Harvard.
1t is a good idea. If Navy men learn
to navigate the treacherous round-bot-
toned boats which were ordained for
Lake Waban because canoes were too
dangerous, they should have no trouble
with safer craft such as battle wagons
and submarines. The innovation may
become permanent. If it does, many a
staid Harvard alumnus will sigh that
he was "born 80 wears too soon"

Mr.. KELLAND
IGNORES ECONOMICS

(The Courier-J ournal, Louisville, KY
Mr.. Kelland (of Republican National
Committee) has apparently sold himself
on the thought that peace may be made
and maintained through force alone,
through policing and the potential weight
of armament. 1t is thoroughly depress-
ing fact that the economic instruments of
war and peace have made no impression
upon his mind :.
Armed threat alone does not make
war, and armed threat alone cannot pre-
serve the peace Mr. Kelland would do
we'll to acquaint his party meeting with
this tremendous fact, and to see how its
members feel about high tariffs, about
equality of trade opportunities, about in
ternational monopolies and unrestricted
loans. The world is even more concern
ed over these at the moment than it is
over the part our armies will play in
policing the world, and these are issues
on which change of heart among Repub-
licans could very well infHse new hope
into the nations which look to us for
economic guidance as we'll as for mill
tary cooperation.

A JOB WELL DONE

Sacramento Bee)
At it's last session, the state legisla-
ture, after an extended controversy, au-
thorized the California railroad commits
sion to relax the provisions of the full
train crew law wherever this was deem
ed necessary to promote the war effort.
1t was a difficult job the legislature
passed over to the regulatory body. But
apparently the commission has dispatch
ed its responsibility to the satisfaction of
everyone involved
Commission President Franck R. Hav-
enner reported he has received commend
atory letters from the four railroads in
volved and also from the national presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen on the manner in which the
problem was handled
This could have led to prolonged dis
sension and the commission is to be
praised for averting further controversy
in the performance of a difficult task
To satisfy everyone, it must have done a
good Job
