made by Frank FITZGERALD in a
Saturday radio address which ac-
cused his mayoralty opponent,

Severely criticizing the police

"And that II what Is needed

Speak Plainly

Again in Washington after his tour Of mill
tary camps, industrial centers and confer
ences with President Camacho Of Mexico,
President Roosevelt suggests that American
youth give year to the government after the
war, but says nothing of how they would be
engaged during that period. He is right in
saying that youngsters in the armed forces
and in industry have improved physically
since entering these service, and right in as
suming that rigorous program Of living and
working would do as much for others in the
same age group when the war is over.
1t is to be regretted, however, that Mr..
Roosevelt should leave the subject SO far
out on limb. He may, of course, have shot
an arrow in the dark purposely with the
hope that it would hit a target; in other
words, provoke discussion out OF which a
program for youth training might grow.
If he has in mind compulsory military
training or more widely practiced vocational
training or both, he is directing thought in
a proper channel. But it would be better il
he said so, in plain words.

Strike At The Cause

The present trouble in bituminous coal fields
may seem to stem from John L. Lewis de-
mand for So day pay increase for miners.
But it goes far deeper than that. The trouble
lies with the labor administration and the in
efficiency of the labor department chief, Miss
Frances Perkins.
Lewis is but taking advantage of conditions
which she encouraged when she was new at
her post and which, though much of her au-
tority has since been taken away, have stead
lily grown worse. Through her invertibrate
administration labor leaders, always selfish,
self-seeking, covetous Of power and wealth,
have been encouraged to defy the law and
ignore the needs OF the times to threaten
and browbeat workers, spread unrest IN Ia
boris ranks, call strikes at will violate their
pledges and irnperil the national safety in
this war emergency.
Today we see, not cause but the effect
Of wishy-washy labor policy for which Miss
Perkins is chiefly responsible But the blame
is not to be placed upon her alone. 1t is
shared by President Roosevelt who, from mo-
tives never fully revealed, has retained her
in his cabinet over public appeal for her re-
moval. Now he must deal with Lewis himself,
since the National War Labor Board has
placed the coal strike threat in his lap, when
a firm labor policy from the start of Miss
Perkins administration would have prevented
its arrival and saved the loss of millions of
man-hours of production in industry with con-
sequent costly Interruptions in the war effort.
1t is not yet too late to remedy the situation
in Its broadest aspects. Only if President
Roosevelt is incapable of destroying John L.
Lewis power will there be reason to think
that labor and not constitutional government
will rule. And we might as well consent to
actual dictatorship under Lewis and his breed
if Mr.. Roosevelt is too weak to deal with the
crisis Lewis has created. Assuming that he
will have strength and courage to dispose Of
Lewis once and for all, he will fail in his
obvious duty if he does not turn the labor
department over to a hard-boiled man accus-
toned to handling men.
When Miss Perkins was deadliest it was
proposed in these columns that an Army man
on the retired list but still vigorous and a
strict disciplinarian be her successor. The
name of General Sumnerall, commandant at
The Citadel, was mentioned. This suggestion
is now repeated. General Summeran might
not be available But there are other trained
and efficient Army men capable Of bringing
order out of the chaos that exists in labor
who would assume the responsibilities OF the
pOSition Let one be called to the pOSt Let &
treat the canker at the source.

The Pattern Is Duplicated

The gravest consequence of the delay in
defeating Axis forces in north Africa is that
it gives Hitler additional time to build up
his defenses on the European mainland. De-
spite the hammering Allied air forces are
giving his communications and industrial pro-
duction, he is steadily entrenching his armies
and strengthening their positions against the
day of invasion.
Axis resistance will be the stiffer as a
result of the slow progress in the Battle OF
Africa. Every day gained now by Hitler
means longer and bitterer fighting in the
closing stage Of the European war. 1t is 1o1
this reason that Nazi forces in Tunisa are
contesting every foot and most certainly Will
obey to the letter Hitler's personal order te
continue fighting to the last bullet.
With this pattern traced on the sanos are
lin the mountains of Tunisia, it is easy TO see
la similar situation developing in the south
west Pacific. Every day gained by the Japa
nese now, means additional months perhaps
years. of combat in that arena, with lncreas
| ing losses There may be some reason te
think that Australia's crusade for greater ane
quicker aid is slightly on the hysterlcal sloe

I'D" Day

Baltimore is inserting special day in its
official and civic ife-"D" day, the day of
rehabilitation. The city government and bust
ness leaders have set up program through
the operation Of which they confidently expect
to solve the economic problems that will arise
with the cessation OF hostilities and large
part of the armed forces shed uniforms and
seek employment, when plants will require
Encouragement when business firms will need
capital for development. sd" day is absorb
ing the concentrated attention of Baltimore S
forWard-lookng citizens.
There are three major proposals in their
program:

should be made as to what portion Of
these restrictive measures Con busineSS)
can be lifted to accelerate the pickup of
private enterprise in the postwar period.
The committee expects to induce the legal
profession to participate in this undertake
ing.
9 Postwar reserves: Private business,
the committee believes, should build up
not only cash reserves but strengthen its
credit position in order to expand imme-
diately on the declaration of peace. Also
it believes, cities and states should set
asIoe special reserve funds, for postwar
capital expenditures to provide against
possible increase in unemployment and
the need for public facilities which can

conditions.
3. Substandard housing: This problem
is approached first as a means of pro-
vidng work and second as a method of
getting rid Of slums However, the COM
mittee decided to make nine-part analy-
sis before calling substandard housing de-
sirab}e.
One plank in Baltmore's "D'' platform
which touches Wilmington is that the port is
a principal objective and it's improvement a
recognized need. Another is the development
of air service. After the war, Wilmington is
to find economic salvation in it's port and
its airbase. 1t is none too soon to draft plans
which will assure their full use This is some.
