Ex State Director of Health and Safety Is

Commensurate with the efficient operation of an Air Base, as an aide and advisor of the Base Con- manding Officer in all administra- tive matters, in the office of the Base Air Inspector. The position entails making spot and periodic inspec- tions, recommending improvements, and reporting on needed corrections and requirements. It needs ability and a high degree of tact.

London, Base Air Inspec- tor; and we'll are these duties ham, dled.

WHAT HO, STANDARD OIL?

Standard Oil has made a great to-
do about offering its buna rubber
patents to the entire industry for
royalty-free use after the war.
Those who can remember back a
ways will recall that Standard Oil en-
tered into pact with l. G. Farbenin-
dustrie, the great German dye trust,
about these patents.
If common use of these patents is
permitted, by what device will Stand
ard continue to rule the roost and
what will be the relation of the Ger
man dye trust?
Ever since those mad days of the
"Oil Trust" and of Colorado Fuel and
Iron, it has paid to keep a weather
eye on what Standard Oil had up its
sleeve.
In this present proposal there
MIGHT be a whole big sleeve full that
doesn't meet the naked eye.
Labor cannot fail to be vitally in
terested.

TIME question of what turks behind
the Soviet front is one that grows
and will not down.
Today the Russian armies are fight
ing an amazing fight. That has been
going on for months. Stalingrad will
stand as a monument to heroes for
many year.
But it does not follow that the hero
ism of the Russian armies and of the
Russian people can be made into robes
of white for the communist interna-
tional.
1t does not follow that the commun-
lists and the fellow travellers in the
United States are going to suddenly
become American patriots and that
the hand of the red international will
clasp the hand of democracy in COM
mon cause when the peace is written.
We can admire the Russian fighters
without going loco over the commun-
ist international.
And that brings up the mess with
Poland. This Polish-R Russian mess
may be healed, but at the moment it
is a serious matter. More troubles for
the United Nations. We have the
communist international to deal with
and we have the muddlings of diplom-
acy to deal with. Labor needs all OF
its strength, it needs complete unity
and it needs all its common sense to
get to real places in the face of such
things.
Back of the Polish-Russian mess is
degree of error by Britain and the
United States. Our State Department

A TOUGH McNUTT TO CRACK

Manpower boss McNutt surely
handed labor belt on the beak in his
job freeze. wage freeze order.
It's tough McNutt to crack - but
maybe not too tough.
McNutt has been a glamorous fig
ure in Washington.
1t hasn't sunk far into the public
consciousness yet that McNutt's order
is just about the biggest autocratic
order ever handed down.
To freeze some 27,o0O,OOO Ameri-
cans in the spot they occupied as of a
given date is no easy matter.
But that's what the McNutt order
ordered!
Labor is raising holy hell over the
order and the order probably will not
hold, for the simple reason that ex-
panding pressures operate too heavily
against it.
One pressure is the pressure of
rising prices. The other is the normal
determination to quit job that
doesn't any longer suit.
Labor's patriotism doesn't need re-
telling. And patriotism would even
stomach the McNutt order if an even
deal were handed out all around.
But it isn't - and there's the ham
mer that probably will crack the
McNutt!

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Very often labor, directly or indirect
ly, pays the price.
Sumner Welles, often called the ace
trouble shooter, has himself made
trouble which others have had to
shoot. 1t is mistake to call Welles
liberal He is professional diplo-
mat with a conservative bent. He
wouldn't be much of help in wisely
meeting the issues to be kicked up by
the red international and such things
as the Polish antrum with Russia, in
which the Nazis surely scored one i'm
portant round. He just wouldn't un-
derstand the ways of meeting COM
munism in the world arena.
No more than Joseph Davies, whose
films is just now being launched to a
fanfare of trumpets. Mr.. Davies film
tortures lot of history and doesn't
make for wise opinions about the
