EDITORIAL PAGE

juvenile delinquency is increasing. Social
service workers and law enforcement officers
are deeply concerned over this situation and
many are convinced that this increase in
youthful delinquency is largely due to war
conditions
This theory is probably true to large
degree for in times of war there is marked
tendency on the part Of many adults as we'll
as juveniles to indulge in unrestraint and a
lowering of individual morale.
Here in Detroit, juvenile delinquency
has become quite serious problem. The To-
cal demand for workers in defense plants
has lured thousands of mothers Of both races
into factory jobs, leaving their young chill
dren- at home without maternal guidance
Children in such homes are left free to come
and go at will also to form undesirable ac-
quaintanceships and to indulge in harmful
activities.
AS a result of these conditions, officials
and social workers of Detroit's Juvenile de-
paltment are kept busy trying to cope with
the problem
We are told there are not enough shelter
homes for delinquent girls in our city Pro-
vision is made for white girls at the Williams
Home and similar local institutions to which
colored girls are unable to gain entrance. 1t
is claimed these institutions are too crowded
to accommodate all the whites who need this
protection. but since the Williams House and
other shelter homes are financed largely by
the Community Chest and taxpayers money.
these institutions should be enlarged suffic-
emily to provide accommodation for colored
as we'll as white girls.
A widowed father who works in a de-
Tense plant recently appealed to the Detroit
Juvenile department to help him give proper
pre-delinquency protection to his l5-year-old
daughter He said he is forced to leave her
at home alone while he is at work and that she
is exposed to unwholesome influences from
which he desires to shield her. He wanted to
know if there is any shelter home for girls to
which he could send his daughter, so that she
could be under the guidance and protection
of those competent to help her to develop into
a good and useful young woman
This distressed father was Informed that
Detroit has no such place where a coored girl
might find shelter and needed guidance
This is not aracial problem but a human
problem. What is Detroit going to do about
it, Because girl happens to be colored and
in need Of temporary pre-delinquency pro-
lection, must she be sent to correctional inst-
tutions out Of town to be housed with girls
who are already hardened and incolTigible,
or left to remain unprotected to fall prey to
vicious city influences?
Detroit is big enough and should be So
cial-minded enough to provide adequate pre-
delinquency shelter and protection for every
girl in the community who requires such serv-
ice, regardless of race color or creed.

DRAFT:
Ne,v Regulations

Although the senate killed Sen.
Burton Wheeler's bill to postpone the
induction of fathers until January /,
it moved toward providing stricter
utilization of other manpower.
Through adoption of substitute
bill, the senate voted: l.. Occupa-
tional deferments would be limited
to pre-war fathers, unless employ
ers could prove indispensability of
single or childless married men; 2.
All deferments would be subject to
review by the appeal board within
the district where the employer was
located; 3. A board would be ap-
pointed to study lowering present
physical standards to make use of
AIS.
In the senate bill which went to
the house for consideration, allow
ances to service mems wives were
increased to $50 and to $50 for the
first child, and $40 for each addi-
tional child.

ITALY,:
Fight for Rome

Beating forward to Rome, Allied
armies ran into what appeared to
be the Germans first stiff defense
line across southern Italy.
In taking up their new positions,
the Germans entrenched themselves
on the north bank of the Volturno
river on the western coast, and
along the open, narrow plain on the
eastern coast. Between the two
coasts, their troops dug into the rug
ged mountains.
In all the line ran 125 miles across
Italy. Allied Generals Montgomery
and Clark brought up reinforce
ments for the first thrust at the enc
my's new positions, while U. S. and
British airmen pounded German
supply routes leading to the front.
Observers kept one eye cooked on
the Balkans, where German and
British units were fighting for small
islands in the Aegean sea, from
which an invasion fleet moving into
Greece or Jugo-Slavia could be
bombed.

PEACE AIMS:
Three Faiths Agree

Identical peace aims have been
enunciated by representatives of the
three great faiths of the United
States in a seven-point declaration.
After months of study, the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America, speaking for the Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews, issued
seven-point postwar program.
Salient points are:
l. A just peace based upon recog-
milton that mot only individuals, but
nations, states and international So
ciety are subject to the sovereignty
of God and the moral law" 2. States
must repudiate racial, religious or
other discrimination; 3. Safeguards
for all peoples, large and small; 4.
Equal educational opportunities and
political equality for minorities.
5. Guarantee of faithful fulfill
ment of international obligations; to
provide collective security by limi-
tation of ornaments; to compel ar
bitration Of disputes. 6. Interna-
tional economic collaboration "to as
sist an states to provide an adequate
standard of living for their citizens"
z. Security of the family and par
ticipation Of labor in decisions af-
fecting its welfare.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
jap Posts Crun,ble

The japanese position in the Solo
mons and New Guinea is slowly
crumbling. With the Allies holding
the advantage in sea and air
strength, the Japs have found it in
creasingly difficult to supply their
distant outposts, and latest in the
group to be abandoned was Kolom-
bangara in the Solomons.
Unable to use big cargo or naval
vessels because they would become
easy prey for the superior Allied
sea and air forces, the Japs are
continuing to rely on barges for sup
plying their advanced bases, and,
as in the case of Kolombangara,
evacuating men. Operated at night,
these barges are hidden along the
seashores by day.
In New Guinea, the Allies beat
back light patrols guarding the ap-
proaches to Madang, Jap air and
shipping base on the northeast coast.
The Allies were skirting the enc
my's main defenses in a wide, cir
cling movement, to fall on the base
from the rear in much the same pat
tern as their conquests of Lac and
FinSchafen.

creased rates on tobacco, liquor,
amusements and luxuries of all
kinds. The program also was to
slap new levies on candy, chewing
gum, soft drinks, greeting cards and
other items.
Present taxes are paying for about
38 per cent of war expenses, and
the additional 10k billion dollars
would bring the figure up to almost
so per cent. In his statement to
congress. Vinson declared that high
er taxes also will serve to prevent
imitation.
The government also proposed in
creased social security taxes for
higher unemployment payments and
temporary disability and hospital
benefits.

PHILIPPINES:
Immediate independence

To combat Japanese propaganda
designed to obtain the support of the
Filipinos in the war against the
U. S., congress has received bill
to grant the Philippine Islands their
independence as soon as possible
rather than in 1916.
Following introduction of the bill,
President Roosevelt recommended
that action be taken on the proposal,
with provisions for economic free
dom, postwar rehabilitation with
U. S. help, and military security
through U. S.-Filipino cooperation.
In attempting to consolidate their
hold over the Philippines, the Japs
have been dinning the natives that
the U. S. is insincere in its promise
of granting them independence.

of Rumania. Courted by Germany
for an armistice, he has told the
Germans they can have peace with
him provided they chuck the Nazis.
To hold Russia in the war against
Germany, and yet work out means
of satisfying her territorial demands
without impairing U. S. and British
interests, is the problem confront
ing Allied statesmen. Leading the
American delegation at the confer
ence will be Secretary of State Cor
del Hull and the new U. S. ambas-
sador to Russia, Banker W. Averell
Hartman.

cording to actual sales records in

Henry Horner broke their hold on
the state in 1886, he made peace
with them in 1889, and since then
their power lay unquestioned.
Nash mixed politics with business.
AS he rose up the political ladder
through so years, he kept his sewer
age business, at one time drawing
IA million dollars in contracts from
the sanitary district.
Boss of his party, it was Nash who
chose former Sanitary District En-
gineer E. J. Jelly to succeed Mayor
Anton Cermak after the latter's
death in 1888, thus creating the IA
nous Kelly-Nash combination.

RUSSIA:
Crack Dnieper

Storming the Dnieper river at
three points, Red troops cracked the
Nazis' last strong natural defense
line in Russia, and the enemy strug-
gled valiantly to check the new drive
before it could gain momentum.
Principal breach in the Dnieper
front was so miles north of Kiev,
where the Reds poured reinforce
ments and supplies onto the west
bank after gaining an initial foot
hold. The Nazis' problem was to
keep the Russians from building up a
force strong enough to drive for
ward and then swing back and take
Kiev from the rear.
In the north, the Reds recaptured
the important rail junction of Newell,
main artery leading to Leningrad
from the south, with lines branching
off into Poland to the west.

EUROPE:
Sufficient Food

Germany's conquest of Europe
early in World War II has assured
her of sufficient food to carry on the
conflict. At present, German rations
are three times higher than they
were at. the close of the last war.
Besides being able to draw on all
of Europe for food, Germany's own
1943 production was at top levels.
Bread and cereal crops were said
to be one-third higher this year than
last.

it worked in regard to the Italian
surrender terms.
Now, what are the main PROPOSE
tions which Britain, America and
Russia do not see eye to eye?
In the first place, there is the ques-
ton of spheres of influence
Balkans, the Middle East, the Medi-
| terranean.
have been told by persons pre-
suming to speak with authority, that
Russia suggested the creation of the
Mediterranean commission, body
made up of representatives from
Moscow, London and Washington,
| meeting on equal terms. That COM
mission, whoever thought it up, was
agreed upon. Historically, Britain
| has always refused Russia any hand
in Mediterranean affairs. That would
seem to be step forward and even
before the commission could start
functioning, Russia was allowed to
have her say concerning the terms
| of the Italian surrender. Agreement
was reached as to the terms.
| That would seem to indicate that
a conciliatory atmosphere has been
created in advance. Unless Russia
is absolutely unwilling to make COM
| promises, we can expect reciprocal
tion when the questions of the Bal
kans and the Middle East arise,
where there have always been SINH
lar conflict of interests.
The Baltic States
Another very sensitive question is
the difference of opinion as to the
treatment of the small nations which
| lie on Russia's western frontiers,
notably the Baltic states. 1t is said
that Russia feels that as soon as
| the German armies are driven back
| into the Reich, these border states,
especially Lithuania and Estonia,
| part of Poland and perhaps a part
| of Rumania 1--WE leave the others
aside for the moment, including Fin
| land) are an integral part of Russia.
The United States, on the other
hand, has always stood for the rights
of small nations, for self-determina-
ton. Of course, Russia argues that
plebiscites which indicate a desire to
Joll Tile ooVlet HepuDllCS nave al
ready been taken in part of the
territory and if they were taken
again, they would show the same
results. That they express the will
! of the Nationals is denied by rep
resentatives of these countries in
Washington.
Great Britain leans toward an ac-
ceptance of Russia's views how
ever. The point has yet to be settled
with the United States.
An additional point, which is real
ly the one which has always caused
suspicion on the part of Britain and
America, is the question of commu-
mist propaganda spread by Russia
for the purpose of overthrowing all
capitalist governments. This is bal
anced by the fear on the part of
Russia that capitalist governments
are bent on destroying her as a COM
munist state.
This is tough one admittedly but
not beyond the solution by honest
men. Nor do honest men despair
of its settlement.
