Idle Pay Problem

ECENT EXPERIENCE in
AZ some States indicates that a
significant number of workers laid
off from high-paying war jobs are
drawing unemployment compensa-
ton instead Of taking available
work at less pay. Some workers
apparently prefer to stall along
with "a smaller income from I'M
employment insurance on the
chance that another remunerative
war job will open up.
For example, Indiana is now
paying $4,000 a week to about
$500 unemployed, although the
War Manpower Commission has
almost 10000 jobs open. In Evans
Vile, Ind, several thousand work
ers, mostly women, were released
from the Chrysler Corp. and Sun
beam Electric Co. because of con-
tract cut-backs. When the bulk OF
them applied for. unemployment
insurance and refused to take
lower paying work in hotels, res
taurants and stores, a committee
consisting of management, labor
War Manpower Commission and
State officials investigated. They
found that fully half these women
did not intend to work any more
and used the lower pay merely as
an excuse.
Under the law, a person apply
ing for unemployment compensa-
ton must take suitable work
offered. The question therefore
arises, what is to be considered
suitable work?
Problems of this nature are
bound to come up everywhere, in
GLIDING Maryland. 1t is high time
that our State and Federal Off
Gals got together on formula to
prevent raiding of the unemploy-
ment compensation funds and to
protect these funds for the bene-
fit of legitimate unemployment
compensation applicants.

A Remarkable Map

The many members Of the Ma
tional Geographic society have re-
ceived the remarkable new map Of
Japan and adjacent regions put out
recently by that organization.
This Is the first time that a de-
tailed map has been computed with
the geographic heart of Toxic as its
center. The National Geographic
Bulletin states that the exact spot
is Tokio's central railway station
about which cluster the imperial pal
ace, the central post office and the
Marunouchi building, one Of the
city's largest official structures.
The map has been compiled of
entirely new base material and Is
being used by the general staff and
other government departments
which opened their files to the Ma
tional Geographic researchers for
its preparation.
Just because we have our eyes on
western Europe at the moment is no
reason why we should forget what is
going on In the Pacific. Fortunately.
our forces have been built up there
to the point where we can carry on
simultaneous action with the move.

BILE about three feet long, perfect

started off around the top Of the
tent. its tiny propellers whirring. He
dipped his wand and the little ship
nosed down and began to descend.
He traced a graceful circle upward
and the ship assembled and re-
produced his movement in the

sorts of such feats it gracefully de-

May Shorten The War

THE BRITISH Ministry of Eco
= nomic Warfare says that five
years of economic warfare and
bombing may cripple the opera
tional mobility of the German
armies this summer and conse-
gently shorten the war.
The shortage of oil is said to
have already affected traffic in
Germany and recent military de-
velopments.
German-occupied areas are pro-
ducing less than half of the Reich's
oil requirements and the recent
bombing attacks upon oil plants
have intensified the shortage.
While the Germans are expected
to make strenuous efforts to re-
pair refneries, Allied bombers will
continue to bomb the plants as
fast as they are put back into
operation.

exile him from japan after the

Iceland's independence

nouncing its former allegiance to
the King of Denmark.
Iceland is known as the worlds
Oldest surviving democracy. It's
parliament antedates the British
House of Commons by more than
two hundred years. By popular
report, it has no jails, no army, no
navy, no Notifications, and has
never engaged in a foreign con-

Iceland was Independent for
many centuries from 900 to 1852,
but after violent civil war be-
came subject to Norway. In 1880
it was transferred to Denmark
but since 1874 the inhabitants
have enjoyed their own constitu-
tuition.
In 1889 the Germans wanted to
establish an air base in Iceland, to
link Germany and America. This
request was rejected but when the
Axis went into Denmark, in April,
1910, the British Immediately sent
soldiers to protect Iceland. A
year later, with the permission of
the Althing, the Parliament of
Iceland, American troops of occu-
patton arrived.

WHILE THE NEWS available

patch describing the exploit of a
particular group, there are indi-
cations that the French people

A special Allied communique
recently reported that German
armored divisions had been "seri.

resistance and sabotage in the rear
of the German forces reached such
proportions in many regions that
the enemy has been forced to send
considerable forces against the

Power To Preserve Peace

TINE BRITISH Prime Ministers,
= including Messrs. Churchill,
King, Curtin, Fraser and SHUTS,
affirmed the need, after the war,
of world organization to MAIN
tain peace and security, with the
necessary power and authority to
prevent aggression and violence.
Thus the weight of the far-fung
British Empire is thrown behind
some organization, presumably a
collection of nations willing to
assume responsibilities commensu-
rate with power and be able, if
necessary, to prevent and punish
future aggressions against limo
cent and helpless peoples.
The British leaders also declare
that their peoples seek no advan-
tage" for themselves Eat the cost
of others" They pronounce a
desire to promote the welfare and
social advancement of all nations
so that they may help each other
to better the broader days.
These general declarations are
encouraging and they are about
all that anyone can. expect at this
time. They will not suit the
critics who expect conclusive an
swers, with positive proof of the
successful conclusion, about every
problem that concerns civilized
men.
