DEFYING THE DRAFT
[ San Diego ITniOn)

(San Diego Union)
The governor of Colorado probably will
not get away with his order hating the
draft of farmers in his state, but his
action may serve to clear up some con-
fusion and result in more definite
selective service policy throughout the
country. Conflicting opinions. orders
and interpretations of rulings by the var
ious state and local boards have all re-
suited in situation which threatens
to become chaotic.
The SelectiVe Service law is, Of course
a federal measure designed to recruit a
wartime army. 1t gave the governors
administrative power in their respective
states, but it doubtless will be ruled that
the understanding was that this power
would be exercised in positive rather
than negative action Certainly the act
was not passed with any provision which
permits governor to nullify it. And
if he can nullify one section or provision
of it, he can nullify another.
The Colorado governor probably real
lied this at the time he took drastic steps.
1t is probable, too, that his action was the
result of his state boards inability to
determine with any degree of accuracy
Just what the national board, under Gen.
Hershey, had in mind. For out of the
Washington office there has poured as
strange a mixture of contradictions and
speculative theories as the country ever
has seen.
These contradictory theories have been
bad enough in industrial areas, where
Workmen have been kept in suspense,
many of them for months, while trying
to determine from the conflicting state
ments when and if they were to be draft
ed. However, with the industrial en-
ployers constantly recruiting all avail
able labor and daily prepared to replace
those drafted, the situation has been bear
able to the degree that it has not serious
ly interfered with production.
But on the farms it is different. The
government is calling for more acreage
to be planted to essential crops. This
is the planting season. Obviously, no
farmer is going to plant a larger acreage
than he can harvest and with the uncer-
tainty of the draft boards threatening
the harvest labor supply, it has been
impossible for farmers to plan ahead
with any degree of intelligence.
The farmers are as patriotic as any
body, and those qualified for military
service are as willing and as eager to don
a uniform as are the men in any other
business or industry. But theirs is not q
day-to-day job. 1t requires seasonal
planning. And the governor of Colorado
probably became eXasperated with the
situation and has tried to bring it to a
head.
His order even though it may be over
ruled should be a warning to the selec-
tive service officials in Washington to
begin taking the farm production prob

SUSPEND THE
WAGNER ACT

A flood of elation must sweep through
95 per cent of the American people at
the suggestion that the Wagner Labor act
be suspended for the duration of the war
This sudden eager hope is not because
such a suspension might in any manner
injure labor unionism. UnloniSm Is be-
side the point and entirely a matter to
be worked out during peace times. But
the bright suggestion is widely accepted
because it would put an end to labor
racketeering and jurisdictional strikes
and suuabbles between this and that
group who are using the urgent war con-
ditions as a lever to increase member
ship, overcome a competitor worker or
ganization cOerce temporary war work
ers and in general slow down war pro-
duction.
Such a suspension would put an end to
these very things, or at least a goodly
portion thereof 1t is highly to be de-
sired, almost utopian in its promises OF
temporary labor peace. 1t should be
done. but we wonder if there is ghost
of a chance political things being what
they are
That the suggestion comes directly
from a powerful labor leader is startling
to say the least. 1t is however all the
more weighty and worthy of congress
sional consideration. John P. Frey,
president of the AFL Metal Trades Coun-
Gil frankly reveals the slowdowns, the
internal troubles of unionism. By thus
exposing the negative results Of the act,
he indicates he is first an American and
second a labor leader We commend him
and hope that congress and the admins
tration will be as fortnight and clean
cut in their thoughts and actions, as he
apparently is in his astounding but well
come proposal.
If labor unions could only level off
on such a high standard of practice as
this symbolizes, then surely public con-
fiGance in the whole scheme of organized
labor would be materially enhanced.

HEARTENING IMPRESSION

Eight South American journalists who

the United Nations will win the war
Their conviction was based on the i'm

Their tour was a beneficial enterprise
for our side, and their conviction heart
ening to the United Nations cause. To
be sure, the countries the tourists repre-
sented are already on the anti-Axis side
But it will be helpful to our cause when
those observers can report to their peo-
