F. D. r. FOR 4s-HOUR WEEK

When the President signed the Con-
gressioral act providing pay raises FOR Gov
eminent employees he automatically abol-
ished the Saturday half-holiday, which he
referred to as a "peacetime luxury"
Some observers see in the Chief Execu-
tive's remarks a plain revelation that he
thinks the 40-hour week should be replaced
by at least a 48-hour week In a memorar-
dunn to federal departments and agencies
the President said he wanted a general
minimum work schedule of a six-day, 49,
hour week, although certain necessary cx-
ceptions might have to be made.
Insofar as the new law removes in
equities in pay by putting employees on the
same basis as to overtime and other factors
it will meet with general approval. The
same cannot be said about increases in pay,
although some increase is plainly justified
by the increased cost of living.
The general public has the idea, which
is we'll subStantiated by facts, that most gov
ernmental employees are well-paid. There
is a growing suspicion that such workers
tend to exert themselves unduly to secure
increases without giving much thought to
the perfection of the services that they per-
form for the public.

SUPREME WAR COUNCIL

There is a constantly recurring argu-
ment for the appointment of supreme mil
itary council to direct the strategy of the
United Nations.
While it is recognized that there is b
close connection between the campaign
against Germany and Italy and the war
against Japan, it is impossible to form a
supreme military council to represent the
four largest fighting united nations.
1t should not be overlooked that only
three of the four are at war with Japan, Rus
sia's participation in the struggle being linn
tied to the battle in Europe.
China, for all practical purposes, may
be regarded as involved only in war against
Japan,
Only the United States and Great
Britain Britain have the power to encom-
pass the defeat of Germany and Italy in
Europe and Japan in the Far East.

many, with her glorious history
Then he added:
The Bolsheviks are determined
to crush not only Germany under
theri iron heel, but all the rest of
Europe also. The fact was evident
to all the world, but more parti-
cularly to the British, whom we
endeavored to have join with us
against the Bolsheviks, whose
burning ambition is to enslave the
whole world"
Goering spoke for ~ minutes.
No city in Berlin was bedecked
with flags and bunting; no festiv-
tiles were held in celebrating the
tenth anniversary of the Nazis
coming into power.
There were no wild outbursts
If cheering and little more than
a ripple of applause to any of
Goering's remarks. Even when he
compared the German soldiers,
who are trying to hold back the
Russians, to Leonidas and his
brave band, who had pledged their
lives to beat back Xerxes and
his horde of Persians at the pass al
Thermopylae, he was greeted
merely by handclapping that last
ed only few seconds.

Children In
Chicago Set
Bond Record

Negro public school children Of
the South-Central District OF Chi
cago set another record when they
purchased $3.50, 1888 in war bonds
and stamps In q special campaign
which ended last month. Twenty
four schools participated.
The campaign was climaxed by
a huge rally in Washington Park
on June 4, which included a parade
OF 5000 school children starting at
35th street and South Parkway. Led
by members Of the R.O.TC, they
marched to Washington Park where
a joint check was presented to rep
resentatives Of the Treasury and
War Departments, with a request 1t
be used TO purchase l25 jeeps, two
pursuit planes and motorcycle for
the fighting forces. A feature OF
the exercises was the christening
OF several jeeps by schoolgirls rep
resenting the bond purchasers.
Treasury awards, including the
Minute Man Flag and merit certifi-
Gates for each school, were pre-
sented by Major C. Udell Turpin,
senior deputy Of the Illinois War
Bond sales staff, representing the
Treasury department.
Music was supplied by the band
OF DuSable High school
