LOTS OF US have found out lately that
it's no hardship TO share with others. Pulling
together in spirit of friendly cooperation is
of the valuable lessons of the times
Today, as a war necessity, more and more
people are being asked TO share party line
telephone service. BY treating others on the
line as they themselves would like to be treated,
good party line neighbors help to improve
everybody's service.

all authority to handle food, with the head of such an authority having control over production and distribution, includ- ing prices and rationing. Director Davis of WFA, showed up promptly with hatful of marketing quotas, allotment payments for corn, wheat, cotton, rice, tobacco and peanuts.
 President Roosevelt took his time be- fore he turned thumbs down on Congress Sional pleas for a one-man food "czar''. At the same time he renewed his demands for subsidized roll-back of prices to support his theories and plans to check rising consumer costs and prevent inflation Congress will continue to oppose - and probably defeat-granting fresh subsidies as there is mounting opposition to that way of handing out public money. Blocs, for and against subsidies are being formed
 Thus, we have two distinct schools of thought; first, the President and his Ad- ministrators who stick to the New Deal theories that you can cure most anything by pouring plenty of money into the well even subsidies. So far as putting food under the control of single head is con- cerned the President is likely to have his own way. Even his bitterest opponents are inclined to agree with his statement before a press conference this week that people who think things through have an idea that glorified czar might cure everything The record of his own flock of"czars" shows that they have batting average of about 50-50 up to date.

A Thought for Today
Shipworkers' Wages

The c. l. O. Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbulding Workers of America is seeking per cent wage increase which, if granted, will affect approximately 100000 workers in 188 yards. Their exoduct is being built for the government -.taat is to say, for you and you and you and us, the taxpayers.
 The raise, which is additional to a de- mand for an adjustment in last years Income, is asked as a cost of living ad- Iustment H. Gerrish Smith, in formal statement made publicly before the War Labor Board says that weekly shipyard wages have increased 55.1 per cent since January, 1941, while the cost of living has risen only 23.1 per cent during that period.
 MT. Smith is president of the Ship builders Council of America. His state ment is, of course, partisan - as partisan as that of John Green, president Of the union, who made the demand. But since MT. Smith gives specific figures, they can be checked; if they stand up, it would seem that either the VILE must refuse the unions demand or the administration must concede, once for all, that the battle against imitation is lost
 The average straight time hourly wage lIi UllC AiAAuooA A'AA' says, is 32 per cent higher than that for ali manufacturing industry and is 21 per cent higher than that for all durable goods industries, so the shipbuilders can not complain that they are underprlVl- legged by comparison with similar workers in other industries.
 The Little Steel formula would give shipbuilders straight-time pay ot only 93.3 cents an hour, says MT. Smlth, whereas, in fact, they are getting Sl.l4o an hour. So the Little Steel formula can not be invoked Average hourly earnings, including overtime, ran to $1.246 last March, when they were compiled rom Labor Department data, and weekly wages averaged $5846. So this is no hardship case.
 MT. Smith says-and we do not nave the figures at hand to check. but II ne IS wrong the union easily can show It Wlth figures - that only private building con- struction (which is virtually non-exlstencl pays more by the hour and only alrcralC engine manufacturing pays more by the week than does the shipbuildlng lnouS- try. We can think of workers who need raises badly enough to warrant stralnlng the anti-inflation formulas, but untll these figures are proven to be seriously m error the shipbuilders do not fall Into that category.

America to Rule the Waves

One of the geratest steamship lines in American history was founded by Captaln Dollar of San Francisco. It was well ana favorably known for it's Trans-Paclflc ana Around-the-World services for many years. As a matter of fact the founder of the Dollar Lines was regarded as the top leader in the whole American catalogue of ships. But when the old man died the Dollar boats had rough sailing, and they finally flOundered in financial crOSS-cur- rents five years ago. The United States Maritime Commission acquired possession of 30 per cent of the company stock, ana kept the ships sailing under the name oi the American President Lines, Inc. Former creditors of the Dollar Line had a Board of Directors which included rep resentative local interests of San Fran cisco who have been in charge or the operation of the properties
 An announcement from the govern ment says that "the Commission has gwen consideration to the possibility o1 Drlre- ing about private ownership of the Amer ican President Lines at the appropriate time" The announcement also aods an invitation suggesting that parties Wno desire to submit comprehensive and dell- mite proposals with that end Tn view should place the same in the hands Of the Commission not later than September lo' 1943."
 The foregoing announcement is rather significant in view of the fact that all ol the great American steamship companies are now being operated under the govern ment through the Maritime Commission After the war the different lines VIII pc returned to their owners unless this writer is making a wild guess Britannia will cease to boast that 1t "rules the waves.

Peace Can Be Made To Work

Out of all the talk in recent months on the subject of the postwar world, the most comforting statement comes from man whose business is research and the invention and improvement of things mechanical. Charles F. Kettering, with his practical view as a successful inven- tor, says:
 "I think the future can be almost any thing we want it to be. If we take into consideration the factors we have to build the future with-people, things, climate and everything else-then we can go ahead and do swell job.'
 Today, more than ever, we need states men who can take tip from the research wizard and apply the scientific process to postwar problems by starting with careful inventory of all the factors that have to be considered in arranging the world of the future. In any case, it is reassuring to hear from the man who has made so many new things work that the peace can be made to work also.

It is often said, and we have vague memory that somebody once demon strated, that the average American would sign request for his own electrocutlon if somebody presented it casually enough as worthy petition bearing enough other signatures The magazine writer who was not made party to criminal libel prosecution because the offended plain tiff knew that he had merely lent his name to a friend for something about which he knew nothing, is very fortunate. However, the action turned out, it would have been costly to him. His escape should be a lesson to others to read what they are asked to sign, and to inquire the repute and character of organizations that solicit their sponsorship. Much grief can be avoided thus.

Disclosure of the activities of two Nazi spies arrested in New York proves what often has been said that the really dangerous enemy agent is the last person one would suspect. Belligerent, vocifer- ous critics of this country's institutions seldom are active menaces. We know where they stand. It is the cool, canny, well-trained agent who covers subverslon with flag-waving and civilian defense ac- tivites who can do most harm. And that is why we shouldn't sport mail order badges and play detective, but should tell the F. B. 1. any sensible suspicious we nav have and let experts do the job.

While Senator and Representatives are home testing the mood of home folks they are going to get an earful of informa- tion about the manpower shortage In civilian industry, the prospective results from the Presidents subsidy plan, stabil- ization, prices, wages and salaries, and the regulation of affairs on the farm where one of the main drives is centered on the puzzle of keeping imitation within bounds. Strangely enough there does not seem to be very much fault-findlng among the American public with the Smith -Connally Anti-Strike Act passed over the Presidents veto.
