THOUGHT ARMY WRONG

He confeSses he thought the
army was wrong. To automobiles
trained Keller, the parts solution
was merely a matter of placing
supplies at the most readily access
sible points.
1--WE didn't seem to talk the
same language" said Keller.
Right then, I made up my mind
that, at the first opportunity, I'd
get out in the field and investi-
gate for myself"
The opportunity arrived in a
tactical problem being worked by
Maj. Gen. w. II. H. Morris, sixth
armored division in the California
desert. With E. ]. Hunt, operating
manager of the Chrysler Tank
Arsenal, he joined the red army
at Needles.
The two manufacturers were
made technical observers and
issued regular equipment, includ-'
ing bedding rolls. They moved
when the troops moved, then
worked back to talk to mechani-
cally halted stragglers. In all, back
and forth, they covered $50 miles
of mock desert warfare.
FIRST DAY TOUGH!
THAT first day was tough"
said Keller. "The driver Of our
truck apparently didn't know
what roads were for. In fact,
with a choice between a road
and a ditch, he took the ditch.
A few hours of that jostling and
was so sore 1 could scarcely
move"
At 9 p. m. Keller and Hunt
curled up in blankets, looking for
ward to long hours of rest. Neither
could sleep. They felt too stiff.
Then, as they began to get drowsy,
sergeant shook them. The troops
were to advance during the night.
The night Of travelling wasn't as
/ bad as Keller had feared. The
stiffness wore off. Never again was
he troubled on the trip in getting
TO sleep. He found he could roll
up any place along the line of
battle and drop off Immediately.
BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND
As the maneuvers progressed.
Keller said he began 10 UNDER

gallons of gasoline an hour) and
why things were done a certain
way.

to come as they logically would
in actual warfare. That Is the
only way soldiers can be prop

Keller expressed admiration for
the knowledge and interest the
men took in their mechanical
weapons.
PROUD OF WEAPONS

added. THE soldiers are not

Bullock said deliberately.

DANGEROUS PROPOSAL
by ANNOUNCING that he will ask

by ANNOUNCING that he will ask Congress
~ for power to draft men up to 65 years of age
for noncombatant military duty, us strike-breal-
ing weapon, President Roosevelt has heartened
the ranks of those working for compulson to
"remedy' industrial unrest.
The President proposes use of a totalitarlan
weapon in democracy. He proposes to weaken
the processes of democracy, not to strengthen
them. His proposal will tend to lose him the sup
port of the great masses of the working people,
which he has hitherto had, this paper believes.
Mr. Roosevelt, announcing his proposal said
that before the United Mine Workers leaders de
cided to direct the miners to return to work. 'the
government had taken steps to set up the ma
chlnery for Inducing into the armed services all
miners subject to the Seective Service Act, who
abSented themselves without just cause from
work in the mines under government operation"
This plan OF coercion has often been urged by
ant-strike columnists and politicians and other
sef-admtted heavy thinkers who have no real
trust in democratic methods. 1t might be asked,
how would the drafting of miners have helped the
production of coal? Every miner drafted would
have been one less coal producer. And to think
that this would have inundated coal miners into
returning to work when they were convinced they
were in the right is to have a very poor opinion
indeed of the courage and stamina of American
miners.

WARNINGS SHOWN JUSTIFIED

GHARPLY WORDED warnings against the dam
~ ger Of the wartime increase Of child labor,
made repeatedly by the American Federation Of
Labor, are shown to have been fully justified by
latest figures on the employment Of children.
Child labor is gaining at an unprecedented
rate throughout the nation, the Children's Bureau
of the u S. Department of Labor finds More than
100000 boys and girls between the ages of IA
and II are working in industry today, double the
number employed in 1871.
Even more alarming than the total increase is
the fact that the largest increase has been in the
IA and Is year old bracket, rather than among
the 16 and II year olds.
Many of these children are being employed il
legally reports from state labor departments all
over the country indicate. In 1912 there was an
increase of 1913 per cent in the number of estab-
found violating the child labor laws,
while 1872 per cent more children were found to be
illegally employed in 1912 compared to 1911.
Yet in the face of these figures, the present
reactionary Congress, apparently blindly intent
on fighting progress, has gone far to approve cuts
for the administration of child labor provisions Of
the Fair Labor Standards Act. If Congress per-
sists in this attitude it must take heavy reSpon-
sibity for encouraging the growth of child labor,
a long fostering evil that only a short time ago
seemed definitely headed for virtual extinction in
the United States.

THAT OLD FOURTH-OF-JULY SPIRIT!

|WHEN AMERICANS are aroused, that old
" fashioned Fourth-of-July spirit always flares
up. 1t is a combination of courage, genius and
energy. 1t is this undying spirit in that
caused our forefathers, in 1776, to create new
form Of government by the people in the West
ern Hemisphere. 1t is the same courageous deter
mination to win that now inspires our brave
fighters on land, in the air, and on the to carry
freedom to all peoples in the world
Our recent victories on many battlefields are
Just a sample of what is to come. They are a
tribute to our fighting men, who have no su-
periors, and to the loyal men and women through
out our nation who are fundamentally backing
them up. 1t is this American courage that will
prevent the Axis dictators from overrunning the
earth and ensaving men and women everywhere.
1t is the same stimulative spirit of the Fourth
of July that gives the urge to inventive genius
to make better types of guns, planes ships and
tanks that will finally overcome our treacherous
foe.
This undaunted spirit combines the brain and
energy of American workers to produce the cri-
tical materials necessary in fighting a modem
war. They are making essential munitions in such
unprecedented volume of production that our
armed forces can completely annlhllate the AXIS
powers.
All Americans are ready and willing to make
any sacrifice necessary for victory. A peaceful
people have been transformed into a fighting
force millions strOngS, backed on the home front
by men and women in field and factory in science
and invention, who insure the final disposal OF
Nazi and Fascist tyranny.
By their glorious achievements in great CO.
ordnated super-effort Americans and their allies
of the other United Nations will speed the day of
ultimate victory, in order that not one single life
may be sacrificed uselessly, nor one body manned
lin vain.
Through the united effort of all these human
forces plus material resources the Axis enemies of
freedom will receive blow that will wipe them
off the face Of the earth forever In the words of
the Star Spangled Banner:
"Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto In God is our trust

Weathcrbee, Il Jehovah's Witness who
was inducted into the army, will be
returned to civilian life.
Weatherbce was given a court
martial sentence of life Imprisonment
at hard labor late in April for refus-

other organizations.
Despite his claim of religious oppo-
Sition to war; Weatherbee was induct-
ed at Santa Barbara and shipped to
TT. Macarthur, where he refused to
wear a uniform or submit to any mill

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

All industry today is doing its full
share to win this war. All industry
should share in the credit for victory
not just "war plants" which would
be helpless without the support of
''non-war plants"
X X X
No decent man objects to paying his
fair share of the cost of winning the
war. In this connection "a fair share"
means that each taxpayer must pay
what he is able to pay. 1t is on that
principle, taxation according to abil-
ity to pay" that all taxes should be
assessed.
Hitler says that the highest duty of
the individual is to subordinate himself
to the state. In the doctrine of Carl
Marx, is the pronOuncement that the
state must be supreme. In the Fascism
of Mussolini there is corporate state
that administers and controls by self
appointed and perpetuating bureauc-
racy. You can have your choice for a
dime Il dozen.
