Two things abou, George Washington
Carver "men of the world never under
stood: Materially minded physical scen-
fists were at times eXaSperated because
he attributed his marvellous discoveries
in the laboratories to divine inspiration,
and many businessmen We're at loss to
comprehend why he gave all his lormu-
lac to the world and never took a cent
OF profit for himself. But others-many
others-understood and appreciated and
loved him. And the world will long re-
member this man who WAS born slave
not only because he arose above his enVir
onment, but because of his gifts to ciVlllZ-
alton.
George Washington Carver did not let
the fact that a Northern college refused
to admit him as student deter him from
gaining an education. If that ever embit-
tered him in the slightest, he did not
show it. And he won his way to great
honors and gained the respect OF his
way to great h0nOrs and gained the res
pect of his neighbOrs in the South where
although he could never eat in the same
restaurant with white people or sit in
the same part of a theater-White men,
even if they did not know him, would in
stnctively get up to give him their seat

or black, ever did more for Southern agri-
culture and few Negroes ever did more

Insiders concede that legislation
is desirable if war industry's man
power problems are to be solved
effectively But they would rather
not talk abous that now
Their argument is that so long as
there is a probability Of legisla-
ton which would ration the sac
rifices made necessary by war
which would force each person to
assume his share of the burden
rather than load it all on those pa
triotic enough to volunteer-that
most persons will stand by and
say, i'll elect:
I'll do it when the government
makes everybody do it, but I'm not
going to stick my neck out until
the sacrifice is made universal
1t is contended that if the prob
ability of legislation is denied b.
responsible officialdom, TIL en-
enough persons will respond volun-
tarily so that the need for leeiS-
lation may be deferred.
1t would seem as though, in the
two and a half years since the
United States learned that we
would have to fight and partic-
ularly in the year since Pearl Har-
bur-there had been ample proof
that the tomorrow complex leads
usually TO disaster.
One thing out of this nations en-
tire par program was done prompt

MORE HELP
FOR CHINA

The hub Of recent complaints coming
from China seems to be not so much the
little bit of help the Chinese have been
getting from the other United Nations as
il is the fact that the Chinese have not
been getting what they were promised.
We question whether it was wise dlplo-
macy to lead China to expect large
measure Of help, and then let her down
with a trickle To our way of looking at
it. it would have been far wiser to tell her
we could not give maximum help immed-
iately-and then ourselves try to exceed
the minimum.
There can be little question that China
will be the eventual base for large-scale
war-ending attack upon Japan proper
Such an attack must be made before Jap
an will be defeated, for there Is none OF
the internal unrest in Japan that Is liable
to develop in Germany, and which has
already developed in Italy. The Japa-
nese people are slaves, and have always
been slaves, to whom hardship is routine
and the word of their emperor unqueS-
tionable, even if he orders their death
Japan will not be starved into submis-
sion, nor will the final blow toward Jap
ans defeat come from the inside. 1t must
come from outside Japan must be bat
tered into total defeat.
There is no better place from which
to launch the final attacks than China.
The Chinese are in the same position in
the Far East as Russia in Europe. 1t is
their job to hold the enemy, to keep him
partially busy, until the rest of the Unit
ed Nations can deliver the death blow.
China deserves all the help that can
be given her in doing this job. The war
will be long or short, according to the
way in which she does it. and the way IN
which she does it will depend upon the
heln she gets.

DESIRE FOR VICTORY
BEHIND CHfNA'S PLEA

1t is not desperation which motlvateS
Chinas recently renewed demands Tor
more and more help in materials and
arms, so much as it is surglng desire
for victory The Chinese know, now, that
they can win the war if they have the
weapons They are straining At the leash,
yearnng for that last dash toward vic
tory. And YOU cannot blame them for
being impatient. They have fought long
er. and more hopelessly, than any other
beligerent in this global war.
II must be considered. of course, that
the defeat of Japan is China's principal
concern. whereas the defeat of the axis
as a whole is the worry OF America ana
Great Britain. Just as free Frenchmen
want to see Hitler trOunced first ana
soundiy, so do Chinese want to see the
Japs beaten first and thoroughly.
1t might not be wise, to say nothlng OF
being possible, to meet all of China's de
mands for arms and materials immediate
lv. Perhaps the overall picture, with
stress on complete victory rather than
victory over one enemy alone, demands
concentration of arms elsewhere. We are
inclined to believe that it does
But. wherever the arms must be con-
cantrltcd at the moment, whoever Is to
be knocked out first, China must not be
forgotten as one of the two most vital
aggressive elements OF the wal ooi a.

This is a time to work toward giving

Writes:

Roosevelt set high prodCction
goal, raised it frequently and
promptly as the trend of the war
dictated, and gave orders for pro-
duction of the essentials of total
war.
But for one reason and another,
virtually every step toward effec-
tuating the mammoth program, by
conserving materials and convert
ing plant and utilizing manpowa
has been delayed.
This has been notable in con-
nection with rationing. There is
not q single commodity now under
rationing, or about to be, which has
not been permitted to run wild u
Ill crisis has intervcned to force
action.
Six million workers must be add
ed to the national laboring force
during l943. About one million can
be obtained from normal sources.
The rest have to be recruited.
This need not mean 6,000000 new
faces in factories. 1t could mean
100000 men and women put at
essential tasks, of whom perhaps
half would have been freed from
non-essential work, pried out of
boarded reserves, or made available
by strict control over jobshifts,
idleness caused by labor disputes,
failures to report for work, etc.

TIE ARMAMENT
or BOOKS

(Trenton, n j., Times)
An interesting literary adaptation of
the old maxim that the pen is mightier
than the sword was provided the other
day by President Roosevelt:
"Through books we have appraised our
enemies and discovered our Allies. We
have learned something of American val
or in battle We have, above all, come to
understand better the kind of war we
must fight and the kind of peace we must
establish =. A war of ideas can no more
be won without books than a naval war
can be won without ships
Books alone could not win the war,
but they can prevent us from losing the
postwar settlement. The American peo-
Pile . are deeply indebted to the authors
and publishers who have been providing
so many examples of penetrating interna-
tinnal analNSiS and aNn0SitiOn.

Make no mistake about it, when

attractively turned out, carefully
groomed. her spirits are bound to
be higher, her efficiency greater.
And now's the time for girl, what
ever her job-home- making, busi-

and feel her most capable.
She'll find it will pay, even
though days are more crowded than
ever. to take time for regular, SIM
pie beausy routineS, a carefully con-
sidered diet, fresh air and exercise,
and a good eight to 10 hours of
sleep.
She'll not bother with elaborate
hairdcS, but will arrange coiffure
that is easy to manage. but flat
tering, luStrouS and shining with
health. Nightly brisk brushing Will
help cure most hair woes and fire.
auent Shampoos take care of the
cleanliness angle.
She probably wont find extreme
manicures practical. But she will
take time to shape her nails proper
ly. soften and push back cutlcle,
buff nail surfaces to a soft polish
And she'll use softenine and pro-
tecting lotions after cleansing
hands with bland soap and water.
Also. there's nothing like a lux
urious warm bath to relieve ia
tigue and relax nerve strain after
a strenuous working day. She'll
allow plenty of time for an unhur-
ried bath, so that it's really restful.
She'll have the sudsy water at a
pleasant temperature; and try to
relax mind as well as body.
AS for the wardrobe-the same |
rule applies. Neatless, shining |
cleanliness, starts the day off aus

Gently came out with the state
ment that women workers are hard
er to handle than men-that they
can't be bcssed but have to be
persuaded.
That statement indirectly points
out the independent attitude that
women are developing.
In normal times. women workers
are for the most Fart meek and

in competition with men and that
the men have everything in their
favor. So the women concentrate
on doing what they are told, work
ing hard, and making every effort

women needing the jobs, the jobs
need the women. Being both
BRIGHT enoueh to size uD the sit
uation and human enough to take
advantage of it a little, the women
ere asserting their independence a
bit
DAY OF RECKONING
Naturally they are enjoying their
position. They shouldn't go too
far, though, because this war isn't
going to last forever. One of these
days the men are coming home
and the job competition between
men and women will start all over
again.
The women won't have much of
chance if their bosses have found
them SO hard to handle in the past
that they are glad of the chance
to get men to fill the jobs-even
though they may have to pay the
men higher wages.
Women workers can get by with
being pretty independent these
Gays, simply because they haven't
any draft numbers. But they
shouldn't let that fact go to their
heads. If they do, it is sure to be
held against them and their sex
when employers can again choose
between men and women workers
