The People Poy

Inc announcement that the
once Of Price Administration has
recommended higher prices for coal
ranging up to sixty cents a ton for
anthracite, is the best answer to the
claim that the recent pay increases
won by John L. Lewis for the miners
were not inflationary in character,
Tney are inflationary, and the peo-
pie who buy coal will soon find it
out.
When the new agreement had
been negotiated by the mine union
leader and Secretary Ickes, it was
given a generous coating of verbal
camouf1age. 1t was not "pay in
crease" some officials said, because
the miners were not to get more
money for the same work. The extra
dollars in their pay envelopes were
to compensate them for doing more
work. Hence, it was argued, the
Little Steel formula was not broken
and there was no question of infia-
tion involved. But actually a funda-
mental principle Of stabilization-
that no pay increase would be ap-
proved which hiked costs to con-
sumers-was violated, and the con-
sumers shortly will be called upon
to foot the bill This is imitation
pure and simple, and no amount of
word juggling can make it other
wise.
1t is also device which forces
the public to assume a penalty
which, If it has any legal basis,
should be borne by the mine owners.
The so-called Illinois agreement
contains clause providing for the
payment Of $40 to each miner to
settle back claims for travel time"
Mr.. 1ckes, by plain implication, con-
tends that this settlement should
be applied to the whole industry.
But that liability, If it exists in fact,
should come out of the pockets of
the operators, for it is based on an
alleged violation of law by them.
Instead, however, it apparently is
to be passed on to the consumers.
This Is a nice arrangement for the
operators, satisfactory settlement
for the miners, convenient way out
for the Government, and an old
story to the consuming public.
1t will be said, no doubt, that the
requirements Of war justify this ex-
pedient arrangement. And perhaps
that Is true. But it would be we'll
to note that the recommendation
for higher coal prices was made on
the same day that the OPA was re-
leasing a statement telling how
much the public and the Govern
ment had saved through the opera
ton OF price control. This saving
Is somewhat hypothetical, since it is
based on a comparison of prices
during this war with those prevail
Ing during the First World War. For
what 1t may be worth, however, 1t
Is a valid comparison, but it will soon
lose all meaning if the "noninfla-
tionary" settlement of the coal wage
dispute proves to be the model for
adjustment OF other wage contro-

Praise for President
From American Chinese.
To the Editor of The Star.


On October II President Roosevelt
made great announcement He an
nounced that he was doing everything
in his power to secure the repeal of the
Chinese Exclusion Act and to get bills
passed allowing some Chinese to enter
the United States each year
The President stated that the Chinese
must be allowed to become citizens with
out having to be born here, which, at
present, Is the one way an Oriental au-
tomatically becomes an American citizen.
He also said that those Chinese now
here who were not already United States
citizens automatically should become So
This is the most progressive move any
one in any high ONCE yet has made in
behalf of the Chinese people in the
United States. I am an American of
Chinese ancestry and naturally have
given this exclusion act some thought.
In the United States We all are Ameri-
cans, regardless of race or color. and
should be treated as such.
The Allied nations have as their main
war aim equality and cooperation for
the benefit of all races throughout the
world. and the United States is proving
that We are lighting for this equality BY
real deeds here at home These actions
in behalf Of equality mean something
more to those concerned than all the
fine words and phrases ever could hope
to provide. J.F WONG

likewise found 1t costly to take in

pay dearly for 1t in 1915. Francis

Gaeta in 1860. Relics of each of
these chapters in the city's history
are to be seen in the Cathedral OF

Enforcement Of 14th Amendment
BY Government Called For.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Enforcement of the l4th amendment
is not only the constitutional way to
attack the poll tax. 1t is the best way
to work for universal suffrage The
l4th amendment says, in effect, that
whenever the right of adult citizens to
vote for President, Congressman or
State legislative, executive or judicial
ofncers is denied or in any way abridged,
except for crime, the States representa-
tion in the House shall be reduced in
the proportion that the suffrage Is
reduced.
Note that this does not give Congress
power to say to q State that 1t cannot
use literacy tests, residence REQUIRE
ments, registration schemes, poll taxes
or any other form Of disqualification
(The 18th and 10Th amendments do
prohibit race and sex discrimination. J
1t merely states that to the extent that
any such laws in any way abridge the
right to vote, States representation
shall be reduced accordingly. 1t is a
mistake to construe this as an attack
upon the South. 1t is an attack on
any restriction of the right of suffrage
of noncfiminal adult citizens in any
State.
Congress should enforce this section
OF the Constitution too, after first
examing all State voting laws, and
determining the extent tn which each
disfranchises citizen inhabitants. In
asmuch as the power to enforce this
provision is given to the Congress by
this amendment, it IS doubtful that
the courts would be willing to take any
hand in it, It is political question, !"
which the court will not consider.

Urges Faith in Russians
After as Well IS During War.
To IN. rdttor - ~. 49,


According to newspaper reports there
is group of religious leaders in the
United States that is vigorously opposed
to the United States making any alli-
ance in postwar times with the Russian
government. These religious leaders re-
member the former days when the
Communistic government of Russia
made very effective war upon all re-
ligion and upon some religious organiza-
tions in particular. They forget, how
ever, that this world war has wrought a
great change in the present Russian
government in its attitude toward re-
ligion in general and also in the prop
erty rights of the individual
Our President has been severely criti-
cized In some quarters for the message
OF congratulations he sent to the Soviet
Union on the anniversary OF its found
ing more than score Of years ago.. He
praised the Russian people and the
Russian soldiers, and justly 50, for the
remarkable deeds of valor they have
performed. But Mr.. Roosevelt's critics
forgot that political parties and gov
ernments once in while change their
attitudes on fundamental questions
when they discover to their sorrow that
their former policies were impractical.
We have good reason to believe that
Soviet Russia has passed through such
transition, ana If the people are good
enough to fight with us on common
grounds and interests during this war,
why are they not good enough to work
with us for our common interests after
the war is concluded?
Thus far the Russian government has
given every evidence of good faith in
the common cause for which the United
Nations are fighting, and it has granted
religious liberty to all religious organi-
cations whose ideals and practices are
based upon total separation of church
and state. The only church organiza-
tions that have anything to fear in the
future, according to the assurances Of
Russian statesmen, are those religious
organizations which have political as
parations. FOR such an attitude the
Russian government needs 70 Be COM

A Time for ViqiIonce


Reports from places like Stock
holm, Bern and Ankara must al
ways be taken with a grain of salt
because as often as not they are
merely inspired rumors designed by
the enemy to distract and befuddle
US. At the same time, however, since
many of them have proved true in
the past. they cannot be discounted
altogether.
For example, it would be unwiSe to
laugh off the current report from
Stockholm that Nazi forces in Den
mark have received orders to be
ready to cope with gas warfare. The
explanation for this is that Hitler is
preparing to cut loose with a new
secret weapon" likely to make our
side strike back as drastically and
as violently as possible.
Although stories of this sort are
not new, they have more than little
plauSibility now for two reasons:
First, the Nazis are reaching point
where they must do something spec
tacular or resign themselves to
sterile and militarily wasteful de-
fensive stand. leaving the German
home front without hope; and Sec
ond. our Allied forces are obviously
preparing for new invasions of
Europe and it is therefore quite as
probable as it is possible that Hitler
and his generals will try to disrupt
our plans by resorting to some sud-
den surprise blow.
In this connection, it is worth
remembering that in speeches de-
llvered within day of each other,
both Hitler and Prime Minister
Churchill recently intimated that
the British Isles may well be sub
Jected again to some form OF light
ming assault. Thus, the Fuehrer de-
clared that although America was
not at present within his reach, he
was determined to exact "retribu-
ton OF the lone opponent" near
hlm-namely, England. And Mr..
Churchill solemnly warned of the
possibility of new forms of attack
upon this island" and called for a
continuation of the fullest vigilance
on the part of fire watchers and
home guards.
II and when such an attack ma
terlalizes. we may find, as was re-
ported from London over the week
end. that the Nazis will throw in
everything at their disposal, includ-
ing rocket guns. suicide squadrons
OF parachutists, superbombers and
poison gas. In warning of this, Mr..
Churchill reassuringly added that
the flnal course of the war could not
be affected by any such development.
Yet 1T is at least equally true that a
sudden new blitz on England could
make the last phase of the struggle
costly and bloody in the extreme,
particularly If it succeeded in un-
balancing a British-American Of
fensive launched against Fortress
Europe" from across the English
Channel
III ever I am convinced that my
defeat In inevitable" Hitler once
said, in effect, to Hermann Rau-
schning, Il shall drag half the world
down to destruction with me-" It is
thus not in his nature to exit quietly
from the stage of history, and as
long as he continues to inspire and
lead the Nazis. we must expect any,
thing and everything, for although
he Is already doomed to peter out
like rocket, he may still be able to
spread death and devastation on a
grand scale before he spends him.
self completely. Vigilance, in
word, is therefore as much in order
now for our side as it has been at
any time since the start of the war.

Nations Farmers
Are Topping Many
Production Goals

The July crop report made it
clear that farmers in the face of
many difficulties had substantially
met, and in some cases exceeded,
the crop acreage goals" Marvin
Jones, wal food administrator, COM
mented this week.
During July, growing conditions
we're favorable and current indica-
tions are that yields per acre in
l943 will be the second largest on
record. The progress of the years
production so far is gratifying. The
hard work and the determination of
farmers have placed us in a posi-
ton to meet essential food needs,
given average weather from now on.
However, the crops are still to
be harvested, marketed and pro-
cessed, and in the case of feed
crops, fed to livestock. Farmers will
need additional workers for harvest,
and food processing industries are
short handed. The wartime food
problem is not solved, though pres
ent production prospects are en-
couraging."
