CORRECTION IN SIGHT

California Industrial Review
A few powerful labor leaders have
made monkeys out of the people OF this
country and our congress Their tech
nique is to cause untold damage to the
nation and the war effort, and when con-
gress is ready to crack down with legis-
lation controlling their irresponsible acts,
the labor bosses will ease up the pressure
to block congressional action.
The administration has been largely
responsible for this condition. 1t has
failed to supply leadership or national
labor legislation, and its blanket opposl-
ton to correctives has invited hastily
drawn remedies. How much longer la
Dor leaders can defy government and IN
timidate congress remains to be seen.
With any faults that the recently pass
ed house anti-strike bill may have, it has
some good provisions. These include the
requirements for financial statements by
unions, control of political contributions
and the granting of statutory authority
to the National War Labor board. 1t has
been the lack of such authority which en-
abled John L. Lewis to thumb his nose
at the board and treat it with contempt.
Commenting on the situation, the New
York Times says: 'If measure similar
to the house bill should now become
law, it would at least break the long
standing taboo against corrective labor
legislation. Once this was done, the ad-
ministration and congress should proceed
to work out more comprehensive and
better balanced program"
If labor leaders are wise they will not
provide another exhibition Of defiance of
government as witnessed in the last coal
strike

THOUGHTS ON RATIONING

From now on we shall talk about ra-
tioning with clear conscience, and when
somebody inquiries caustically if we
think we know more about pronunciation
than Websters dictionary does, we shall
sniff haughtily and refer the needler to
the American Speech Quarterly, publish
ed by Columbia University.
There he (the needler) can discover as
did we (the erstwhile bewildered) that
tn photographer slipped up when he
said the word should be pronounced ra-
tion rather than ration.
Kemp Malone of John Hopkins has dis
covered, and the Columbia University De-
partment of Public Information passes
on the news in four pages and almost
1000 words, that once upon time there
USED to be two words-ration and ration.
One had its roots in Latin, and was a
doublet for ratio, and meant "the relation
between two similar magnitudes in res
pect to quantity" BY rhyning ration
with relation, it becomes clear that this
one was pronounced ration. But about
1915, soon after the burning of Washing
ton, this word became obsolete and dis
appeared from dictionaries.
The other had its roots in French, and
referred to the daily portion of food serv
ed to soldiers and sailors, which obvious
ly makes it the lineal ancestor of the
word that is causing Prentiss Brown to
lose his sleep, his hair and his hope for
a happy hereafter This word had moth
ing to do with relations, who did not
share in the soldiers daily allotment of
food, and so, perhaps to distinguish it
clearly, it was pronounced with the
French ''a' which made it become ration.
So it develops that the word in which
we are interested should have been pro-
nounced ration all along, and not ration,
because ration was dropped out Of the
dictionary more than a century and
quarter ago and now is anachronistic.
The misunderstanding never would
have arisen, and given us opportunity to
clear it all up as we now have, but for
radio announcers, who looked ration up
in the dictionary and found that it could
be pronounced either ration or ration,
but that ration was preferred.
But the soldiers never were fooled.
They continued to say ration and SO did
most of US, though few purists insisted
upon muddling us all up by saying ra-
ton.
If you are still in doubt, here is little

American Patrols
| Mile from Munda

ADVANCED BASE, South Pacific,
July 10 Delayed) tUP)-Advance
patrols We're reported within a
mile of the Japanese air field at
Munda today as American ground
forces closed in steadily on New
Georgia objectives.
BomberS and field artillery
pounded the enemy garrison at
Munda with a fury unequaled in
south Pacific warfare. The air
force unlOaded 76 tons of ex-
ploSives on the japanese positions
while a powerful fighter plane
cover kept the New Georgia skies
free of enemy aircraft all day.
The rugged, specially-trained in
fantrymen were advancing along a
wide front through semi jungle
country towards Munda. The near
est patrol was about mile from
the airdrome and another force was
two miles away.
The commander of the ground
forces reported that casualties had
been light despite several brisk
skirmishes with the enemy. The
Americans took a japanese strong
point of some strategic value at the
intersections of the Barike river
and the native trail to Munda yes

WE CAN BE MORE
HOSPITABlE

When the war started and initial
troops first came to Imperial Valley, the
populace was glad to have them anu
showed its warmth of hospitality by max
ing friends here, there and everywhere
with men and officers alike.
As the war moves slowly along, and
as more and bigger installations come
to our region, the newness and glamour of
army, navy and marine men and families
wear off, and there is an apparent slack
ening of interest in these visitors who
are temporarily within our community
gates.
Most of these people are civilians who
have been drawn into the vast defense
machinery. Taken from their homes and
workshops and offices, moved here and
there without knowing what lies ahead
and when that new change will take
place, they find things none too happy
and certainly seldom indeed to their lik-
ing.
The permanent valley citizenry, i'm
paired as il has been by the exodus of
SO many former residents, nevertheless
has an obligation to make these people
welcome and do what it can toward max
ing our guests happy.
Many families are doing much of this
right now, but they are in pitiful minor
ity, and the big majority should now
come forward with friendly greeting
here or there, an obvious interest, a well
come, meal, an effort to be of help and
an actual eagerness to make acquaint-
ances among these people

WORTH CONSIDERING

The American Business Congress has
asked Congress to extend the coverage
of war damage insurance without col
lection of further premiums, on the basis
that thus far there have been no losses
and that substantial damage in future is
not very probable.
In view of the fact that this insurance
is designed as protection for property
owners and not as money-making busi-
ness or a gamble, the suggestion seems
very sane The possibility of more than
token raids by Axis forces in this hemi-
sphere becomes ever more remote. A
dividend, in form Of extended insurance,
would seem to be in order
