TRAN TION diff

i ficulties between Japan and the
conquered Dutch East Indies, the Ma
Law Peninsula and other southern ter
ritory are greatly hampering the
japanese war effort and playing
havoc with the much touted develop
ment of the so-called Greater Asia
C-prosperity Sphere.
The sharp upward rate of Japanese
shipping losses in recent months
tends to aggravate the situation and
to complcate the japanese conduct of
the war, says word from Dutch and
East Indies labor circles to the Inter
national Transport Workers Fedora
ton.
According to these sources, the
large teak and hardwood resources of
the eastern territories are ruthlessly
exploited for the purpose of creating
in the shortest possible time fleets OF
inter-island and coast vessels to be
used for troop and material war
transports as we'll as for commercial
purposes. In Java alone, more than
10000 acres are covered with teak
wood forests which furnish excellent
shipbuilding material. These forests
are now being stripped with complete
disregard of future needs.
The general shortage of skilled
manpower in war and related indus
tries forces the japanese occupation
authorities to recruit native workers
wherever they are available. How
ever, the Indonesian population pas
sively resists the japanese slave
drivers, and threats backed by CORE
spending action are required to get
the necessary manpower for urgent
work to be done. The want and hard
ships brought to the natives by the
Nippon conquerors are openly con-
ceded by the japanese domestic
press.
In order to cope with these trans
portation problems number OF fan
tastic plans have cropped up which
seem to be taken seriously by the
Japanese themselves.

1t was too bad that Captain Rick
enbacker had to let loose the other
| day with that crack about unions. 1t
was ill-tempered and it was ill-ad-
vised
1t can be excused only on the
grounds that Rickenbacker, back from
a narrowing experience, is so afame
with the desire for war production
that his powers of observation and
reasoning have got just bit out of
focus.
Nobody with any experience in
manufacture will believe that men
could be brought back from the front
lines, put into airplane factories and
bring production jumping upward
500.
With the proposal that when men
return from the war they are to be
employed regardless of union agree
ments, with seniority running back to
the date of induction, we have an
other matter.
1t must be agreed that the relation
between unions and public has
changed and will change more.
But when men start jumping the
unions and discussing postwar rela-
tions between unions and soldiers, let
it be remembered that without the
unions to maintain standards and
wages, the returning soldiers after
the war would face a sad and sorry
condition, indeed.
There was a great many critics who
talked like that during the other war.
They heaped sarcasm on the silk
shirt, the sym b ol of the wars
wage prosperity. They got their lesson
in union values when the great de-
preston followed the war and unions
did more than any other factors to
give the workers some degree of pro-
lection under the withering frost of
diminishing pay rolls.
The fact must be faced that the old
days of complete freedom of action
by unions is over.
Supervision, to some extent, began
when the Wagner Act was signed. 1t
has increased greatly 1t probably will
continue to increase.
1t can be expected, among other
things, that tax-hungry authorities
will not be too long looking longingly
at the possible 4take" from union
treasures that run to ten million pro-
portions. Nor are other heavily taxed
institutions likely to long overlook the
possibilities of kicking up row for
the taxing of union funds.
1t is time to think hard about
the counter argument and to see
to it that the union case always
rests upon foundation of justice
and fairness.

Gentlemen:
The people of the Port Union Spe-
cial School District Community would
appreciate to have you publish in
your next issue of "The Press - the
Public Forum Column" the following:
Concerning The Consolidation OF
Schools In Union Township.
1t is necessary to clarity in the
minds of people who reside in the
Port Union Special School District
and those who reside in the District
in which the West Chester School is
located, the facts concerning the
present controversy over the almal-
gamation of the Port Union Special
School District and the West Chester
School,
There have been very many stories
circulated throughout this district by
the County Superintendent of Schools
and the members of the County Board
of Education, as well as members of
the present combined school board.
Very few of these statements are
supported by facts.
The first rumor circulated among
the teachers and the children of the
West Chester School is statement
that Port Union Special School Dis
trict Board wanted to send their AZ
children to the West Chester Contra
lized School. This statement was
never supported by the facts. The Port
Union Special School Board did all in
their power to prevent the killing of
the Special School District and main
tain that they had the right to control
the education of the children residing
in the Port Union Special School Dis
trict. The County Board of Education
decided that Port Union Special
School District should be discontinued
and so voted it at one of their meet
ings. The Port Union Board imn1edi-
ately filed a remonstrance protest,
the filing of this remonstrance was
ignored and the merger was COM
pleted.
The Port Union Special School Dis
trict Board of Education based their
resistance to the order on the fact
that the facilities available at the
West Chester School did not provide
adequate accommodations to the ad-
ditional AZ pupils from Port Union

There can be a destructive back
lashing of public opinion and more
than a little of that is now resident
in the halls Of Congress.
A number of generals in the field
have sent word home as to their deep
appreciation of what labor is doing in
the war plants. But one blast from a
Rickenbacker can undo what half
dozen generals may say.
There will be others who will come
back and echo Rickenbacker, because,
far from home they have heard one
sided tales. A carbuncle is but a tiny
fraction of the body surface, but it's
the carbuncle of which you're con-
scious We always center thought on
the sore spots. Industry has some;
labor has some.
But the vast bulk of our machinery
is humming as never before.
But however that may be, labor is
getting fore-taste of what 1t may
expect in growing volume as the war
wears on. There will be dead cats
hurled, by the uninformed, the care
less thinkers and the vicious persons
who never need a reason when they
can find an excuse instead.
Victory will bring great and grave
problems. Now is not too soon to be-
gin planning how to meet them.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 90
Roy Cullenbine was regarded today
as possible pretender to the Cleve-
land Indians first base job.
Although he came to the Tribe as
an outfelder, Culienbine recently
has been bracketed with Catcher
Otto Denning in Manager Lou Bou-
dreau's discussions of the problem
created by Les Flemings decision to
remain in war work.
At first, Denning appeared to be
the boy managers certain choice,
but this heir apparent is expected
to get some competition for the as
signment.
The intention of trying out Gull
lenbine at the initial sack posed the
question: What are Boudreau's
plans for the outfield?
Hank Edwards is awaiting word
from his draft board as to where to
take his physical examination. If
he is inducted, only four outf1elders
including Cullenbine-would re-
main.
This raised speculation whether
the Tribe would 60 hunting for a
new outfielder, but Boudreau has
given no such indication. He dis
cusses the prospects of strengthen
ing the infeld by the trade route,
but has been inclined to take a
"we'u-get-along" attitude toward
the outfield.

sunny weather by ordering two
workouts for the Mats. In the
morning session both Ewald Pyle,

Paul V. McNutt, chairman OF the
War ManpoWer Commission, has
given the go-ahead signal for war

1t was emphasized, however, that

Dudley said golf has been handi-

wanted to play and get beneficial
exercises were afraid they would
