CAN'T HAVE FACTORIES
WITHOUT SMOKE

Citizens of Los Angeles suddenly are
awakened to the fact that theirs is an
industrial center. The awakening is
marked by great bewailng and moaning
over the pail of smoke that hangs about
as the great war plants perform.
The skies still are' blue, but potential
residents there as tourists can't be per-
suaded of that fact when they can't
glimpse the blue through the smoke and
be the air ever so pure with that boasted
salty tang, stifling gasoline fumes held
captive in the narrow thOroughfareS
downtown, make the comer-on skeptical.
If one way TO grow and be bigger and
bigger is by way of busy smoke-belching
factories, then the coast metropolis must
take it and like it. There are some meas
ures of relief when well applied, but al

ENLIGHTENMENT THAT
COMES TOO LATE

We do not believe that he has convinced
himself even of the ight-abOut-change
in his philosophy when Harry L. Hop
kins, ultra-close friend and adviser of
Roosevelt comes out full blast for private
industry. We doubt that he even had more
to do with the pronouncement, set out in
labored article in national periodical,
than te follow instructions-On the eve
of the election when the commander-in-
chief is making gestures of turning to
the right
Hopkins has no kinship to industry.
His only acquaintance with a payroll is
on the receiving end He never has been
on the hiring end. His one and only tai
ent is to give away money not his own.
Preferably taxpayers money. He thinks
and dreams and talks giving away the
cash someone else has earned. He can
qualify as an expert in that line.
incidentally he was close associate
of Roosevelt when Mr.. Roosevelt was
governor of New York. When his ad-
mnistration started the state was solv-
ent When he went out it was S90,000,00
in debt.
He also has qualifications as a vote
producer in times of need. He made no
pretentions of modesty in 1886 when he
was the big-wig in the WPA and declar-
ed holiday on election day for his army
of clients and herded them to the polls.
He is the New Dealer of all New Deal
ers. Others may slip bit or even desert
the ship, but not Hopkins The New Deal
has done its level best ever to ham-string
industry and Hopkins has stood by and
cheered He may not be out-and-out for
state socialism. but he most assuredly
is not for free enterprise.
His last minute before the election
spasm, staged only in the hope of winning
estranged voters because of the admins
tration's record in throttling industry,
chimes in with other New Dealers whose
stay in Washington will end when the New
Deal goes out Notably among these is
Senator Barkley who suddenly weeps for
the cause of industry and overnight advo-
Gates tax relief for industry and less
government spending. When? After the
war.
After twelve years in a complete diff
ferent frame of mind than that which
they now would have the voters believe
they are enshrouded. is it any wonder
their sincerity is doubted?
Knowing Hopkins beliefs and his rec
ord in adhering to them, can anyone think
for minute he means it when he says in
his very recent conversion thrOes: "A
constant reliance upon large-scale gov
ernment spending with resultant heavier
taxes or continuing deficits and perhaps
increased competition with private buSi-
ness is not consistent with the continual
ton of our competitive system
If that is what he truly believes, then
when he goes to the polls next month he
will have to vote for Dewey

At 10 o'clock we were driven to

There, with coffee and tea and

were put through a simple process
of immigration and customs. The
plane TAXED down the bay. and at
1870 we were in the air. The ride
was smoother than many a train

in comfortable berths, and I slept
more soundly than I do in my

through Ireland, put into a bus
that drove from FoyneS along the
River Shannon to Limerick and
then down the other side of the
river to the flying field, through the
self-contained little Irish farms, and
by about 2, we were again in the air
for LondCn, where we had dinner.
Coming into London we drove
through part of TIE city which has
received many of the buzz-bombs.
We have been shown everything we
asked to see. The British have been
very thoughtful, imposing nothing
en- us, but letting us decide what
we wanted to do or see and then

The number of American soldiers

Replying to question whether Hitler
and other Nazi leaders might escape trial
and punishment for their war crimes by
taking refuge in neutral territories, Prime
Minister Churchill told the British house
of commons: at is not our intention to
allow the escape of these men to be ef-
fected without exerting almost every re-
source which a civilized power can con-
template"
There are only few neutral countries
left in the world. Most nations have been
dragged into the war, in one way or an
other. Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Swe-
den and Argentina are still neutral but
none of them could shield the war Grim
inals from the agents of international
justice.
Every one of those countries is depend
ent upon international commerce for its
prosperity. and, none of them, except
Argentina, could live on its own resourc
es. The United Nations would not find
it necessary to send armed forces to ar
rest the fugitives from world justice;
economic sanctions would be enough.
