NO ISOLATION OF THE MIND
BY RUTH TAYLOR

One thing we have learned in the
storm and strife of the past two years.
There can no longer be isolation of any
nation, As the airplane has cut down
the distances between countries. as the
radio has wiped out the barriers of
time, we have learned our interdeppn-
dence one upon the other. Even the
most ardent nationalists have come to
realize this fact
Even more important, however. is
the growing knowledge that in the
new world to come there must be no
isolation Of the mind.
Whatever religion to which we ad-
here, we acknowledge the fact that
all men are sons of God, that all men
are brothers. Therefore, we cannot.
we must not stand aloof-not only in
time of war, but in time Of peace a,
well. As Sir Francis Bacon wrote once.
'lf man be gracious and considerable.
it shows that he is a citizen Of the
world, and that his heart is no island.
cut off from other lands, but part Of
a vast continent"
America has stood for friendship to
the doWntrodden peoples Of the world
ever since it's founding. Never must
we lose sight of this great part Of our
destiny. AS we, or our ancestors, re-
ceived an opportunity in Amsrica. so
must we, as Americans. express our
gratitude by giving an opportunity
to those who need it, wherever they
may live.
Not in the spirit Of charity but in
the spirit of brotherhood and fair
play, must we see to it that others
have access to the same things we
want for ourselves-frecdom Of speech
and religion, freedom from want and
fear,-irrespective Of their color, class
or creed.
We can best do this by first setting
our house in order. by eliminating
group CONGRATULATIONS, determinations.
unfair prejudices and Old hatreds-
in short, by proving to the world that
democracy can work in one nation
composed Of heterogeneous elements,
and that therefore, if sincere attempt
is made to apply its code Of justice
; and freedom for all men, it can sue
coed in a whole world
We are demonstrating it in this hem
isphere, where education in knowing
one another, where a concerted at
tempt to be good neighbors. has Grad
icated old prejudices and is building a
permanent friendship. We can demon
strate it throughout the world-if we
can teach men to understand each
other, not distrusc each other.
We are learning to work together
during the war-men Of many nations
and many faiths. Let US use this oppor-
tunity to understand each other, so
that when the guns are stilled, we may
with our neighbors' help build the
firm foundation of world in which
all men are brothers.

jections. Their purpose was OBJ
viously to demoralize the workers
and put them in the position of
obstructing the war effort. II and
when the workers did strike again,
the government would have to take
over the mines for the duration;
then when peace came again, the
operators would have the mines re-
turned to them with a nice bonus
payment such as the railroads re-
ceived after the last world war.
The objection raised on the part
OF these labor-baiters to demands
such as that for portal-to-portal
pay, is subterfuge.
What is so confusing about por-
tal-to-portal pay? The miners ask
that they be paid for time spent in
ahe mines. Is it not a fact that
after entering the mine, they are
on company time? If they are in
jured after entering, they are COW
cred by accident and compensation
provisions, as being injured In the
line of duty.
Many union workers receive pay
for the time spent after leaving
home or shop to 60 their place of
work. These are all steps of prog
ress in the unions march to a bet
ter living standard.
The miner should be paid for
all time spent underground. He
undergOes the same hardships, i'm
conveniences and hazards as In
the course Of his days work, and
the travel time should be paid ac-
cordingly. 1t Is to be hoped that
tho Supreme Court Of the U. s.
will consider all angles Of this
question, and we feel that the
district court which classified un-
foreground travel time as working
time will be upheld.
Mr.. Ickes by failing to take a
fortnight stand in opposition to
the anti-union operators has done
irreparable damage to the miners,
who had the solid support of or
,ganized workers for their legiti-

mate demands. This wound will not
heal easily, and recent election re-
suits show that the injury is seri-
Gus.
For the present, the government
should retain control of the mines,
until such time as there is general
agreement on the terms of a new
contract. Let the operators know
there will be no bonus payment by
the government for seized mines.
Then watch for the reaction.

A few issues back, this observer
as well as the editor warned against
turning the mines back to the OPP
orators before they should have
proved their good faith by signing
on the dotted lire.
Mr. Ickes, for no good reason,
and against the advice Of people
who know the whole problem Of
mining, proceeded to give the
mines back to the coal barons--
first o few Of the mines, and then
the balance some days later. A
contract covering wages and
hours and conditions Of work for
over half q million workers was
still pending. The provisions Of
such q contract were the point
of contention that had led to the
mines being taken over by the
government.
Mr.. Ickes by his action proved
himself the prize boob Of the year.
When the mines were returned, the
public was led to believe there was
some agreement, and that the
papers only needed signatures. But

Daniels said that Theodore
Roosevelt h ad pioneered the
strengthening of the Navy, and
that Woodrow Wilson had built it
to be the worlds strongest, but
that our action following the last
war was "stupid blindness.
'There was but one of two cours-
es for this country to adopt after

Nations or possess incomparably
the greatest navy in the world, !"
Daniels said.
"Of only two wise courses, we
chose neither. With stupid bind
ness we refused to take our seat
at Geneva, and we cannot escape,
in part, responsibility for the pres
ent holocaust. Not content with
that lack of vision, we proceeded
to scrap the big navy we were
building and let it revert to the
