Skilled workers will have to be
trained Old persons and children
will have to be worked into the
picture on such part-time sched-
ules as they are able to stand.
Hundreds of now complicated tasks
calling for highly skilled workers
will have to be broken up into simple
operations that can be learned in a
short time.
Labor hoarders and labor pirates
will have to be ferreted out and
their practices stopped. The few
remaining prejudices against women
workers and the sectional prejudices
against Negro workers will have to
be broken down.
Since all war workers from now
on will be hired by the U. S. En-
ployment Services, it's offices will
have to be strengthened and man
ned by capable persons fully inform
ed of all the problems in hand
Selective Service will have to be
revamped considerably with far
more power in issuing directives in
the hands of the national organiza-
ton and far less in the heretofore
practically autonomous local boards

SCORES LAST NIGHT
Moose Defeat Sigacs, 4l-32
Officers Beat Waacs, Overtime,
1923

The Officers Club won a close
one last night but had to take a
five-minute overtime period to de-
feat hard-fighting Waac outfit.
No more than five points separ-
ated the two teams at any time.
The Waacs were out in front,
lie, at the end of the first quar-
ter. and by the half, the Officers
held one-point lead, 1915. Going
into the final period, the Waacs
led 1921.
The Officers spurted up to tie
the score at 27-all with three min
utes to go, McNeil's swisher doing
the trick. Then Cerini, who COL
lected IA points during the game,
put the Waacs ahead by two coun-
tiers and Lagle sunk one for the
Officers as the gun sounded, send
ing the game into overtime.
The Officers walked off with the
contest in the extra period as Lagle
and Mcneil sunk field goals and
Rosnov added free throw for
good measure.
In the opener, the Sigacs and
| the Moose ran neck and neck for
most of the game, but the Moose
slipped in some fast ones near
the close of the game and took
the contest by a nine-point mar
gin The tall Sigacs were a little
tired. Blum of the Moose sank 10
field goals to score 20 points, high
for the evening.
! The next games will be played in
Douglas Thursday, the Bruins VS.
the Officers, and Waacs VS.. St
Louis Blues. Referees will be Va

pushed ahead from Wednesday.

ELIOT.

There are a good many serious
difficulties in the way of increasing
oul: aid to China which cannot be
brushed aside by wishful thinking.
Yet it is vitallv important that this
aid be increased, and especially that
an American air force of S'Zeable
strength be established on Chinese
soil
Many of US are prone to think
that if only the necessary planes
were flown in. he matter would be
settled But modern air force re-
uuireS a tremendous amount of ma
terial support-fuel. lubricating oil
and bombs. 1t requires well-equip-
ped bases, with adequate repair and
maintenance facilities.
China produces no oil, manufac-
lures no bombs, machine tools or
spare parts. All this must be brought
in from the outside.
At present it must be flown in by
transport planes from India Their
useful load is reduced sharply by
reason Of the fact that on leaving
India they must carry enough fuel
for the return flight. This is why
il is taking so long to build up the
operating strength Of Gen Claire
Chennaults air force in China.
Ships Needed. too.
There is no other practicable
means of reaching China at present,
and therefore aid to China is con-
dltlOned on the increase of the num-
Der Of transport airplanes available
the increase of the number OF pilots
trained for the trying conditions OF
trans-Himalayan fight. and the in
! crease in the capacity of the operat-
/ ing bases in India from which the
! transports take off.
Even then there must be kept in
mind the inevitable bottleneck OF
shipping. for all this material must
be sent to India by ship before it is
| flown into China. 1t is II 500 nau-
teal miles from New York to Bonn

In the second place, there is no
