Events Prove to Spectators

Yesterday, Nome went all-out in celebration for the great day of Independence, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and what it means to the world today.
 Nearly every person, man, woman and child, civilian and G. I. Joe, participated and enjoyed the fine program of the day.
 The literary portion of the pro- gram took place in front of the City Hall, with the crowd pay ing particular attention to the guest speaker of the day, Brig. Gen. Edwin w. Jones, post com mander.
 After the sounds of patriotic music had died down, the an- nouncement that the sports pro- gram was beginning drew atten- tention. Tn quick succession the contests for all children from eight to 30, were run off and the lucky winners given their prizes.
 The most colorful and hilarious event of the day was the pie eating contest. The color being the blue berries, all over the con- testants, and the hilarity, being the crowd enjoying the spectacle.
 All of the preceding events were announced over a loudspeaker system set up for the occasion, and also the program was broad cast over the local station.
 The balance of the program took place on the Arctic Club tennis court, and consisted of Native sports, such as high-kicking and blanket tossing.
 Many G. Is, Cheechakos and other camera fans were in evil dence. The cameras clicking sounded like a machinegun bar rage.
 General Jones, speaker of the day, in summing up the inten- tions of the day, declared:
 Brigadier General Jones was speaker of the day. His address follows:
 Mir. Mayor, citizens of Nome, officers of the garrison:
 This is Americas third Inde- pendence Day since our entry into World War II. It is the second which I have had the privilege of observing with my Nome friends. I sincerely hope it is our last wartime Independence Day and that when another July Fourth rolls around our country will be at peace with all nations.
 'I would like today to be able to tell you when the end of this war will come, but I cannot fore tell the future, and even if l could, I would not be able to say so. Neither I nor any other off cer in the United States army is permitted to speculate about mil itary developments or to attemp' to forecas future events. Oul leaders believe that victory is wor by planning, preparation ane fighting - not by talking. The! believe, and rightly, that the flu ture course of the war is shape, by events as they transpire, ant determined by battles as they ar fought-not by guesswork an predictions.
 This is an American army pol icy, and it is a sound one. w have only to examine the ret ords of the last few years to SC how very right it is. The allie commanders uniformly have kel their mouths shut, both in defei and in victory. But the tongu' of the Axis chiefs seem to wag the time. They predict, tht brag, they boast and declaim. Al now in 1914 they devote a lot

GIRL TROUBLE"
COMES SUNDAY
AT 10Th CENTURY

Don Ameche needed a valet. Joan
Bennett wanted a job. The two got
together causing ending Girl
Trouble" for dapper Don and Great
ing a design for living as modern
as love in a black-out. The goth
Century Fox film, which comes to
the goth Century Sunday, is essen
TALLY romance, but previewers
seemed to think there were at least
as many hearty laughs as heart
pangs throughout Miss Benefits
merry misadventures.
Indirectly, the rubber shortage
is the cause of it all. Don plays o
South American plantation owner
trying to interest an American tire
magnate in his tire product. Incl
dentally, he also tries to interest
beauteous Miss Bennett. Circum-
stances prevent her from spurning
his Establishments and, indeed, force
her to stretch the point and pose as
his maid.
The film is hardly calculated to
affect an-American relations or
the rubber situation. Instead, it
guarantees only to provide an hour
or so of mirthful advertisement, a
noble function which, Judging from
the cast and story, it is fully armed
to carry out.
Outstanding favorites are fea-
tured in support of stars Ameche
and Miss Bennett. Frank Craven
appears as the rubber tire mogul.
Billie Burke contributes an hilar-
ious impression of fluttering dow
ager On hand, too, is Alan Dine
hart, of late truant from the
screen and a star on the Broadway
stage, who plays prissy attorney.

Two Strikes

It is natural that after all the con- troversy over the Montgomery Ward case the governments dealing with strikes III war industries should now be followed with closer attention. It might be inter esting, then, to compare procedure in the Ward case with that in the recent strike of Detroit foremen. Attorney General Riddle, in his Ward case argument, echoed the Presidents assertion that Wards was engaged in war work. (1n later dispute involving a similar firm, the Chicago district War Labor Board ruled that the Sears Roebuck and Con- pany mail order house in Minneapolis should not be clasSed as essential to the war effort.") Mr. Riddle stated that "after the machinery of the VILE IS flouted by either employees or employer, the President must support the order of the board" There is no need to re- hash the Ward case. A recourse to orderly court procedure by either party probably would have avoided the whole thing. Yet both sides were impatient. One day after the 13-day Ward strike had ended, the attorney general and an assistant to the secretary of commerce moved in on the Presidents order, with soldiers and G-men.
 Now consider the foremen'S strike. That was 20 days old when it ended. It began because the National Labor Re- lationS Board refused to order employers to bargain with the foremen. The VILE had twice ordered the foremen back to work Their president, Robert H. Keys, told the national WLB that "We do not relish this strike. We do not think it right from a patriotic standpoint but frankly we cannot blame anyone but the government :" Was that not "tlouClng the WLB machinery according to MT. Biddles definition? But there were no presidential orders. No soldiers reversed the Ward procedure and carried the fore-- men back into their plants. Instead, WIB Chairman William H. Davis talked to Mir. Keys like a patient Dutch uncle: 'sYou can't win. If you insist on going on, the strike will be broken.
 A WLB labor member promised that his group would assume the responsibility of seeing to it that the employers would recognize the foremen'S bargaining rights as against the ULRB ruling. That did not move the strikers. They did not return until General Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forces, told them that their strike had already cost 250 fighter planes on the eve of our most critical military opera tion. The foremen'S strike is not the only recent one in defiance of WLB orders. We simply offer it's brief history, in con- trast to the Ward affair, as evidence that the governments standard of penalties IS too often inconsistent with the ener- gencieS.

Views Of The Press

other eminent men paid high tri- bute to past and present leaders and urged wider scope for the organiza- tions influence. Genera! H. H. Ar- mold said: Tn peace the Boy Scout has been an important organization in the daily life if our nation; in war it has become an essential ore. |" Admiral Chester W. Nip;itz wrote: "All of our fighting forces ove a debt to the leadership odf this great movement - to those men giving voluntarily and generously of their time and talents to maintain Scout ing as a strong and beneficial in- duence." Captain Eddie Riclien- packer spoke of this wise planting" of the sterling traits cf observa- ton, initiative, self-reliai.ce, disci- pline and imagination"
 We believe none of the tributes too high, especially to those who have rallied to replace leaders gone to war and have not only kept the organization going but have great ly extended it's work on essential war tasks and increased its mem- bership.

ConsuIt Your Conscience

pr. Edwin G. Zabriskie of New York, speaking before the American Neurolo- gical Association, said the American sol dier "has learned while on campaign to conserve energy, food, and materials. At home he sees an appalling amount of ex- travagance .. all around him in com placent optimism about termination of the war"
 Well, that's what he sees, all right, and as Dr. ZabrislSie points out, it makes him angry. All of us at one time or another have brushed aside the inconvenience of ''llsing it up, wearing it out, eating it all" with the impatient reasoning that "other people do it."
 But that doesn't make it right. Next time YOU feel that way, consult your conscience, not your convenience.
