Labor's Responsibility

The War department sponsored a tour OF
French battlefields for six labor Leaders.
There has been so much interruption OF pro-
duction by strikes in war industries and la
boris leadership has been so indifferent TO
the wars demand, the War department very
wisely decided to send delegation OF Leaders
to the scene of action that they might gam
at first hand a view of labors true part IN
prosecuting the war.
What this group saw, its impressions anu
conclusions, constitute one of the most con-
tructive undertakings in the interest OF con-
tinuous industrial output. They have b e n
transmitted to the department by William
Green, president of the american Federation
of Labor and Philip Murray, head of the CLIO.
In part we quote the statement they have
issued: GAS we travel along roads lined with
the wreckage of American and German equip
ment and pass through shattered French cities
and above ALL as we pause at military ceme-
teries and hospitals that are all too plentiful
here, we are struck more forcibly than ever
before with the horrible destructiveness of
modern war and the importance of superior
supplies in cutting down the toll of our dead
and wounded
eve ale filled with pride for our Army.
It's combat efficiency and morale are high
It is ll-staffed and well-manned-an Army
representative in the highest sense OF our
great American democracy.
Everybody knows his job-from generals
to privates-and we are determined to get our
selves to the job of finishing this war with
the same single-minded determination as the
men at the front.
1--WE do not know whether the war will last
short time or a long time. But to the ex-
tent that by our effort we can make it shorter,
it is our supreme duty to make this our No.
concern"
If they are successful in conveying their
view to their associates and it becomes in fact
the high objective of labor to "get ourselves
to the job of finishing this war with the same
single minded determination as the men at
the 'front.'" there will be no more strikes for
the duration.
The Wilmington morning star., 1944-08-29
Private Enterprise Did 1t

A good example of what American enter
prise can accomplish when given free hand
is provided by the quick production of oil in
the Elk Hills oil field in California, properly
known as Naval Oil Reserve No. /.
It was on June 10 that contract was
signed by the Navy department and Standard
Oil Company Of California, on authority OF
Congress, for emergency drilling in this I'M
derground petroleum deposit. Already 1900
barrels of oil are being taken from wells
thereon daily. The rate will be $1,000 barrels
within short period Of time. New wells
are being drilled at a pace of almost one
every day.
Because California has had to be the chief
source of oil supply for our Pacific forces
this new development is especially timely as
the pre-war petroleum reserve on the West
coast, which was estimated at 100000 bar
rels is now down to 100000 900 barrels.
Private enterprise and American know
how are to be credited with major achieve
ment in the interest of speedier victory in
the Orient.

The Killer Instinct

No group of intelligent persons in the world
can be more convinced that German armed
strength is crumbling in Europe than the Ger
man army command and the German NaN
party leaders. No one knows better than they
that the end is very near
In these circumstances it would be natural
for German leadership to stay the ruthless
hands that have spread so much needless suf-
fering across the face of Europe during these
four years of bitter warfare. The predisposing
reason for hating their cruel slaughter and
destruction is that they could thereby hope
not for easier terms for the leaders when the
powers gather at the peace table, but perhaps
little less severity for the tools and puppets
of the leaders. But because the German army
command and the German Nazi party are not
normal but, instead, are guided solely by
bestial emotions and brutal desires, they con-
tinue their acts Of ruthlessness in the same
way a MORALLY wounded animal continues to
that they are storing up against themselves
heavier score which will have to be paid
in the final accounting.
There is no other logical way to account
for the bombing raids over Paris in which
ITO persons were killed and 719 wounded. The
Germans have nothing to gain by this need
less slaughter, any more than they have had
by the use of robot bombs over England, or
the Staying of innocents anywhere in Europe.
The only conclusion is that the killer in
stinct is dominant among them now, as it
was back in the days when Hitler was slaugh-
tering Germans who did not agree with him
at home. 1t is that instinct which will i'm
pose the heaviest task upon the powers upon
whom the responsibility for world peace will
fall when the war is ended.

"Clunp Brown" by Marger

"Clunp Brown" by Margery
Sharp Little, Brown, $3.50.
It seems appropriate that the
large group Of readers which de-
ponds for literary sustenance on
the Book-of-the-Month Club is to
have a double choice for Septem-
Der. One book is, love story that
is not so simple as it seems, Nevil
Shute's Pastoral" The other is
Margery Sharp's "Clunny Brown"
a parlor comedy which is not so
funny as it seems.
Miss Sharp applies the customary
English parlor comedy formula in
dustriously to the material at hand,
and with considerable sue less. She
goes, then, a little beyond her for
mula. Her Cluny Brown is girl
who doesn't know her place. and 2
few wistfla thinkers will discover
certain amount of 80 tial signi-
ficance" in the fact that Cluny
and modern England combine to
provide for Cluny the place she
decided she must have. It is to be
doubted that Miss Sharp as much
concerned with social significance.
Cluny lived with her uncle, a
plumber. He was that perfect
combination for parlor comedy, a
good and conscientious workman

Going Home

When the war was young and many of it's
problems still but vaguely understood there
was great hue and cry when women found
war jobs in industry.
With justice, as experience has proved, one
complaint was that by leaving their children
to take care of themselves juvenile delin-
quency would increase at an alarming and
destructive pace. There is no reason to doubt
that the great increase in delinquency has
been in large part due to lack OF maternal
guidance at time when it is most needed.
Another complaint widely heard was that
women, once they gained freedom from do
mestic responsibilities, would not 60 back te
the home willingly when the war ended. There
was. less truth in this than in the case OF de-
linquency. So many women have been DE
serting their jobs in war industries that they
have created serious work bottleneck lns
owl has announced that they are going oaci
The Wilmington morning star., 1944-08-29

to the home in numbers that range from III
per cent to 70 per cent
Recalling the situation after the former
World war. the New York Times comments:
.eThere can be very little doubt that this
exodus will become general after the war. 1t
was the same thing twenty-five years ago.
Millions of women joined up for the industrial
war effort in 1917 But two years after the
armistice the gainfully employed women IN
the country were scant half million more
than they were ten years earlier In lSlo
$50 today the women workers are estimated
at more than 18 IL million, or nearly six
million more than at the beginning OF the war
in Europe five years ago. 1t is safe guess
that not more than two million out OF these
six million women war recruits in industry
will remain after the war"

Wooing Willkie

What part Wendell L. Willkie will play in
the political drama now being cast for next
November is still matter of wide specula-
ton Mr. Willkie has not thrown his arm over
candidate for president as he might be ex-
pected to do in as much as he is the titular
head of the Republican party, having been its
standard bearer four years ago and inciden-
tally, piled up more popular votes than any,
defeated candidate ever did. He is not fully
in accord with Mr.. Dewey as he has been
at no pains to disguise either before or since
the republican convention.
On the tother side President Roosevelt has
announced that he is in communica ton with
him and told his recent press conference that
he would meet Mr.. Wilkie-when, where or
how still to be revealed. The meeting is not
wholly to Mr.. Wilkes liking, either. He is
sued statement few days ago saying: 'It
is true that Mr. Roosevelt has written to me
asking that confer with him. Naturally,
would much prefer that no such conference
occur until after the election, but if the Presi-
dent of the United States wishes to see me
sooner, I shall, of course, comply"
In view of Mr.. Wilkes strong following,
the competition between President Roosevelt
and Governor Dewey to win his support is
understandable.
