PSYCHOLOGY OF WAR

Here's a chance 10 guess again. Mr..
Key WeSter.-When will the war end?
You may reply:
''Of what consequence is my guess when
such men as Eddie Rickenbacker and James
F. Byrnes. who have their fingertipS on the
war-pulse Of the world explain in detail
their opinions"
But Rickenbacker left an opening for
men just like you to guess. He called it
miracle. but he did noFuse that word IN

stance. It Is used in the Bible. when Christ
turned water into wine. or when he told the
stricken youth to Take up thy bed and
walk
Rickenbacker used miracle" in what
we ma term its slangy sense. He applied j.
20 the psychology of war-that element
that has started many a war and has brought
many way TO an abrupt end. Psychology
plays 4 far more important role in a war
than a9ything else. be that thing guns or
bombs. planes or ships.

Germans. their cities unscathed by the torch
of the invader. their women and children

outlook had changed: they were convinced

CHINESE BLOOD BANK OPENS

New York City. A Chinese blood
bank, the first of its kind, has opened
here under the direction of the Ameri-
can Bureau for Medical Aid to China.
The blood donations are converted into
dry plasma and shipped to China for
the wounded. Mayor La Guardia at

ernment for the employer. Members of
the Committee on Conference between
the Senate and House of Representa-
| tives are now endeavoring to reconcile
the widely differing provisions of the
two bills.
Recent labor troubles have served to
emphasize the weakness of our na
tiOnal labor policy in the continuous
conflict in authority among the vari
Gus Governmental agencies empowered
to deal with labor matters and the
utter lack of sound integrated labor
policy. This is we'll illustrated in the
present coal controversy which began
as simple demand for wage increase
to be adjudicated by the War Labor
Board. The settlement of this case will
be the work not of that Board but of
the Wages and Hours Administration
which produced the portal to portal"
decision; the guaranteed weekly wage
suggested by the Department of Labor
and sanctioned by Mr.. lckes as solid
Fuels Administrator and the vaca-
tion pay and remission of occupational
costs concessions proposed by the War
Labor Board bitumnOus coal panel.
1t is freely predicted that the Presi-
dent is likely either to block the
present legislation in Conference or in
the Senate, or veto it if it gets to the
White House. If we are to have a
change in labor legislation, such Il
change should be arrived at only after
most careful consideration of all the
elements involved; otherwise, we may
find that instead of solving our prob
lens we have but aggravated it.

NIinkoff, in discussing THE workers
place in health program" said that
"sOme 30 million Americans-men and
women, organized and unorganized-
are employed in nAOur mills, mines, fac
tories and Offices" and that ''the great
mass of people in these lOw-incOme
categories do not receive the dental
care and treatment they need, even on
a minimum baSiS"' The reasons for
this condition in his opinion is that
proper dental care must be bought
it costs money-and large masses OF
workers simply do not have the money
wherewith to buy it,"
Minkoff declared that among the
problems that demand immediate at
tentiOn from society at this time is
the problem of adequate medical and
dental care for the masses of the
people.
"It is a problem to which organized
labor is beginning to devote its most
constructive thinking" he said, be
cause in the days after victory and
peace are achieved, we will have to
face new and more gigantic problems.
Health Vital To Efficiency
The intensive industrial activity of
the present, according to NIinkOff, will
continue, "straining to the utmost our
capacity to produce, to feed the hun
havoc and destruction caused by the
war. That will mean work, work and
more work, and you cannot work and
work efficiently unless you enjoy good
health--and good teeth are an essen
tial part of good health"

The Smith Connally bill, 1t was
charged by Congressman Michael j.
Bradley Dem., Pa is merely a re-
draft of ''all the vicious proposals that
labOr-haters have been advocating for
many years.
War Merely Camoufage
Those who advocate this measure,
he continued, do not need a war to
induce them to come before you and
ask for the approval of this legislation.
They are the same ones who for the
last five or six years have consistently
advocated repressive measures.
"If you adopt their proposal. the
Bill of Rights is going right out Of
the window. 1t abridges freedom of
speech and freedom of action. This
is not the purpose for which we are
fighting this war"
