WHO DUNNIT?

Now that ordinance to prosecute those
regulations in the municipal court has been
soundy beaten the question which comes to mind VINO
brought beating about, and why?

side and down the other. He
gave them right and left,
and a left and a right; he
knocked them down and
kicked them in the teeth; and
then he wiped up the floor
with them.
You never saw anybody get
such going over, such
pummelling with patriotism,
before in your life.
VICTIMS OF WRATH
Wait a minute. Who was it
that Hoffman took off on?
Was it Hitler and Hirohito,
who are waging a war to de-
stroy American independence.
that Hoffman selected as the
victims of his wrath? Or was
it the Nazi fifth columnists in
this country, who are gnawing
at our morale and trying to
undermine our strength?
Oh no; not at all.
The wild Congressman from
Michigan was hot after the
Communists and the CIO
again. He said that the gov
ernment was full of Commun-
lists who are plotting to over
throw the American system by
force and violence.
He said that the CIO Po-
litical Action Committee was
Communistic plot to smear
Congress and constitutional
government and destroy the
American way of life.
His colleagues, glad to have
their thoughts distracted for
moment from subsidies, sol
dier votes, tax bills and other
such messes, applauded Justify
when he finished delivering
his oratorical master piece of
craftsmanship.
WHAT COMMUNISTS?
One can only wonder who
are the Communists in govern
ment whose ears must have
burned while Hoffman scroch-
ed them with acrimony.
Could it be that he meant
Mr.. Donald Nelson, Mr..
Charles Wilson, Mr.. Edward
Stettinius, Mr.. Jesse Jones,
Mr.. Will Clayton, Mr.. Leo
Crowley, Mr.. Bernard Baruch
and other high and influential
figures in federal war
agencies?
The gentlemen named above,
along with many others like
them, are just about running
the show in Washington now.
Are they the Communists
Hoffman had in mind?
Well-could be. The Daily
Worker has been singing the
praises of free enterprise and
capitalism lately; maybe Hoff-
man put two and two together
and figured out that the dol
lar-ayear men are stooges for
Larl BroWder and Bill Foster.
That's the way Hoffman
buddy, Martin Dies, tracks
down Communists.
A SCREWY BUSINESS
Anything can happen in pol
itics nowadays; it's a screwy
business.
The Communists come out
for cooperation with capital
ism, and the Daily Worker
blasts Vice President Wallace
because he took a poke at
Wall Street.
Clare Hoffman ups and
kicks the Communists and the
CIO all over the place for
plotting to overthrow the gov
ernment by force and viol-
ence.
To top it all, Eric Johnston,
chief of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States,
pops up in Boston and blows
kisses at organized labor.
If Communists are for capi-
taliSm; if Johnston loves labor;
and if Hoffman hates Com
muniStS-then Hoffman must
be against capitalism.

Editorial comment in the
daily press on the Baruch re-
port is unanimous in its praise
for the provisions outlined in
it.
Organized labor, judging
from the editorial comment in
the various labor papers, and
the reports from various
unions, is divided in its
opinion. Some unions are
favorable to the report, others
criticize it as a plan to re-
turn free enterprise" and a
turning over of the country
to business and industry with
cartels and monopoly in the
saddle.

DIVORCE BOOM

New quantitative records for divorce DEGREES are
being announced at Reno. This is all the more re-
arkable when it is considered how relatively small
a portion of the national adult population is able,
by virtue of service in the Army or Navy or in some
other vital war occupation arrange the six weeks
residence required by the Nevada statutes, Mean
time it reported that various legal aid organizations
are being swamped with many applications from
soldiers and sailors divorces that special remedial
legislation by Congress is in preparation
In some of these cases the servicemen appear
to be seeking freedom because of new attachments.
But in most cases. apparently, the principal point at
issue is the disposition of the soldiers or sailors
monthly pay. Some soldiers and sailors resent the
idea of having a substantial portion of theirs pay
deducted for the benefit Of wives whom they know
or believe to be unfathfu In other cases it appears
that husbands who never supported their wives in
civil life remain reluctant to do so that they
in service.
This increase in divorce litigation is, of course,
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-03-25

merely reflection of the general deterioration OF
traditional moral standards which is an inevitable
accompaniment of all The disturbing thing
is that the deterioration is of magnitude IN scale
with the war itself In some ways the great wave
of promiscuity and divorce is an acceleraton OF
tendencies long evident in modern society
1t is obvious that the whole social relationship
between the is in process of profound modi-
fication For example, many women to whom the
has opened up positions in business and industry
will certainly be unwilling, when the war has ended
to return to the ordinary domestic routine, that is
to say to housekeeping and child rearing Many OF
them will have become psychologically incapable OF
any such readjustment. What it all portends for
future of the and of society is probably beyond
the power of anyone to foresee.

RICKENBACKER ON RUSSIA

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker dId
some bare-knuckled sermonizing
about the attitude Of the average
American toward Russia during a
confidential talk on Capitol Hill
the other night. Addressing a
closed-door meeting of the 10th
Club" (third-term Republican Con-
gressmen) the World War I ace
declared that the minds OF most
Americans were cluttered up with
too much propaganda and too little
real information" about our Soviet
allies.
Rickenbacker, who recently return
ed from. a War OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
sored tour of the battlefronts, also
got in few political ticks against
the New Deal, plus some kudos fol-
his friend, 1t. Gen. George Patton.

about Russia is that we are twenty
years behind the times Ricken-
hacker asserted. Russia is entire

had an excellent chance to study
conditions there as civilian OBJ
server for the War Department,
and l was greatly impressed by the
country and the people. In fact,
the Russians could teach Americans
lot of things.
Frequent accusation that the
Soviet Government is undermining
family life is without foundation
and obviously designed to create
prejudice in the United States, /"
Rickenbacker said.
Actually, the Soviet Government
is encouraging greater respect for
family life, he said, and the en-
ployment of women in war factor
les is only temporary expedient
that has not interfered with their
duties in the home
And everywhere went, l no
ticed a growing tolerance of relig-
ion," he emphasized. "A few
churches were closed, but great
many more were open. Anyone in
Russia is free to attend religious
services if he wants to. Also, the
Russian people are working just as
hard to establish free enterprise as
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-03-25

During the earlier Finnish cam
paign, every Russian general had a
political conmissar beside him,
Rickenbacker said, with the result
that military discipline suffered.
However, since the withdrawal OF
the political commissars, there has
been a marked improvement in the
efficiency and morale of the Army
Russian soldiers accept the pro-
motion system as in any other
Army and they have the same re-
spect for the authority of their
officers" Rickenbacker remarked.
On the subject of General Patton,
Rickenbacker declared that Patton S
slapping of a sick soldier was in
excusable," but he urged his listen
ers to remember that the Eighty
tempered General had just been
through the stress and strain" OF
the tough African campaign, the
success of which was due in large
part to Patton's daring leader

1t required little coaxing by his
COP listeners to elicit Ricken-
