AS A MATTER OF FACT

We are approaching cleanup time,
folks. Just because there is war on is
no reason for us to become sloppy on the
home front. With limited men for hire,
and for that matter boys, it is up to those
at home to take rake, broom and mop
in hand and do the chores, such as clean
ing out the cellar and attic, the back
yard and trim the hedges for good meas
ure. The children can help much IN this
respect. The thing is to see that they
do 1t. If the grownups are all on work
ing shifts the younger ones at home
might be instructed and given the re-
sponsibility Of taking charge at home.
Youngsters like to feel important, so
maybe a little responsibility at homo
will add little to their innate import
ance.
Perhaps if the juveniles are given this
responsibility they will have little more
respect for other peoples property. AT
any rate there Is no time like the present
to start sticking up. There is nothing
more agreeable to the eye than neat,
clean yards, and tidy shrubbery and
lawns. Help the good cause, all of you,
right now by refraining from throwing
scraps OF paper, banana skins Cf you
have banana), bottles, cartons, and so
on, in the cutters, on the sidewalk and
on private property.
When Waterbury announces cleanup
week let's hope a start has already been
made to smarter" up in big way. Bos-
ton, home of the bean and the cod and
crooked streets, is going to have the big
gest cleanup in history To accomplish
this $4,000 school children will be re-
cruited, and they will be instructed not
to miss the smallest scrap OF paper.
That's the way to do it. Certain foreign
countries once fined persons who were
caught throwing scraps of any kind in
the public street-rather high-handed,
perhaps, but a pretty good method
nonetheleSS.

Still Going

There is relatively small force of
New Zealanders with the Allied armies in
Italy, but they are the kind of soldiers
who keep finding their way into the news.
They drove back the Germans at Casino
in bitter, hand-to-hand fighting. They
and the Indians thanked the Mareth Line
when Rommel momentarily stalled Mont
gomery in his drive toward Tunisia. They
fought all the way from Ell Alamein to Cap
Bon.
Almost all the original members of this
New Zealand outfit have become casual
ties. But there must still be some OF
them who fought the rearguard action in
the British retreat from Greece, and
battled the Nazi paratroopers on Crete.
Except for two or three months in Syria
after Crete, they have been fighting ever
since, through three years of heat, cold,
sand, mud.
Those are soldiers for whom we can all
be thankful, without detracting from the
bravery Of our own.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-27
A Thought for Today


The Baruch-Hancock postwar report
contains some puzzling questions, in adj
dition to It's many excellent recommends
tons. Some Of the worst stumpers have
to do with population shifts to war-induS-
try boom towns. "Will the workers who
have moved north return to their homes in
the south?" the report asks. what OF the
great aircraft, shipbuilding and munitions
Centers-where will the workers now there
go?" If the answer from Henry J. Kaiser's
three shipyards in Portland, Ore, Is typi-
cal, most Of them aren't going anywhere.
There are 91,036 workers in the Kaiser
yards; 30 per cent OF them were ques-
toned as to their postwar plans. It was
found that $4,000 had migrated from
outside the Portland area, and that more
than half plan to stay. This Is in spite
o. the fact that IS per cent OF the total
force have no prospects of job when the
shipbuilding program Is cut down to
peacetime size.
A cAeck-up on these workers purchases
shows that they are not fooling about
their desire to stay put Only II per
cent have furniture stored "back home"
but 53.7 per cent own furniture in the
Portland area. And 40.5 of those who
plan to continue living there are going
to use their War Bonds and other saw
ings to buy real estate. Another post
war question was answered when only
20.6 per cent Of the Kaiser women en-
ployes Industrial, not white-collar) said
they planned to stop working when the
war was over 1t Is unlikely that Port
lands case Is unique, or that its workers
thinking Is radically different from that
Of workers IN other industrial centers.
Cities with big shipyards and ordnance
and aircraft plants have all grown -
Portland, 1872 per cent since 1880; Seat
tle-Tacoma, 20 per cent; Wichita, Kan,
S2.5 per cent; Norfolk-Newport News, Va,
42.2 per cent.
In 1899 there were, roughly, $4,000
workers in ordnance; $4,000 in aircraft,
and 10000 In shipbuilding. Today, for
the same three industries, the approx
mate respective figures are 2,250,000,
100000 and 100000. Peacetime en-
ployment in ships and aircraft will prob
ably be higher than the 1899 level, but
even so, many industrial cities are going
to have tremendous concentration OF
surplus labor. Portland has outlined a.
rs million-dolar public works program.
Other cities are making similar plans.
But public works are stop-gaps that do
not create wealth. Private industry
must absorb this surplus, and quickly.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-27

The Congress Of the United States is
made up, in the main, of hard working,
sincere men who have the best interests
of the nation at heart. During the past
decade, Congress has been subjected to
reprehensible pressure group attacks. Or
CARNATIONS representing "blocs" of cit
liens, and protesting to speak for such
voting groups, put pressure on Congress
men to force through class legislation.
Such practices, unless curbed, will be
the ruination of any country. Organiza-
ton leadership should raise It's sights.
Congress should not be subjected to high
pressure coercion. Special pleaders for
pressure groups have sought to make this
country of special privileges for minor
tiles at the expense of majoritieS.
If we want to perpetuate our Republic
on the basis Of liberty and opportunity for
all, it is high time that when we go be-
fore our lawmakers with our problems we
show more than mere desire to feather
our own nest. For after all, the best nest
feathering each one Of us can do Is to
help perpetuate Constitutional govern
ment In the United States-not govern
nent by bloc coercion and vote control.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-27

The opening paragraph OF Secretary
Of State Hull's 17-point memorandum
states that 1t was issued in response TO
IAN increasing number OF requests for
information about various points in our
foreign policy" But after reading the
memorandum, it seems possible that Mr..
Hull misunderstood what all the clamor
was about. What press and public I'M
queStionably want to know Is what steps
this country is going to take to meet
the swift and frequent changes in our
Allies policies and diplomacies. Instead,
Mr.. Hull reiterated the declarations OF
the Atlantic Charter and the Moscow
conference. Few Americans doubt the
Justice and wisdom of those declarations;
fewer still doubt that we shall try to live
up to them But the complexion OF
European events has altered considerably
since the Atlantic meeting and Moscow.
There are immediate problems to be set
tied before we can begin to carry out
the laudable declarations, just as there
are problems of reconversion and re-
employment that we must settle here at
home before we enter the age Of helicop-
ter, teardrop automobile and electronlc
heating system.
The most important new points in Mr.
-
our national interest as primary factor
in determining foreign policy, and his
statement that as the Four Nations
Moscow declaration is put into effect
"there will no longer be need for spheres
of influence, for alliances, for balances OF
power" The first point is significant
because national interest has not been
stressed in previous statements of Ameri-
can postwar policy. The second is i'm
portant in view Of the obvious fact that
spheres of influence, alliances and bal
ances of power are the object OF recent
Russian and British diplomatic moves.
It remains to be seen whether Mr. Hull
means that the United States will not be
party to postwar agreements embodying
such arrangements. But certainly his
memorandum gives no hint as TO meas
ures we viii take to check the drift to-
ward division OF Europe into Russian
and British spheres.

POSTWAR KILLERS
(New York Herald-Tribune)

In O mood Of grim foreboding, T.
z. Conroy, Of the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation, anticipates new prob
lens Of crime prevention after the
war. He argues that 10000, 00C
men will have been trained In ef-
fective methods OF slaughter. Some
OF them would have embarked or
criminal careers, In any event,
Others may be driven TO employ
their recently acquired techniques
by actual or imaginary bad treat
ment. In particular he notes that
commando training poses unusual
hazards because these men have
been taught to kill both skillfully
and soundlessly.
It Is very difficult to subscribe
to this gloomy representation. That
there are individuals Of chronic anti
social instincts must be conceded
The armed forces have tried OF keep
such types out Of uniform, u,
the first place, and. in the second
place, have discharged or impris-
oned them when discovered. II
may be argued that both the dis
cipline and the opportunity or mill
tary life have benefited those whose
tendency to criminal activity was
due to environment rather than to
individual abnormality. It Is con-
ceivable that for every post-gradu-
ate In crime" trained by the war
there Is o future policeman whose
capacity for service the war expert
ence has enhanced.
Mr.. Conroy's major thesis concerns
the veteran who becomes dis
gruntled. But the contention that
substantial numbers of normal men
will resort to the law Of the jungle
presupposes an economy that has
broken down badly in terms Of un-
employment and privation. How
ever disturbing the transitional
period after this war may be, 1t
need not be any more trying pro-
portionately than that which we
survived In 19l9-'20. On the con-
trary, II all the thought and effort
bears fruit which is now directed
toward easing the reconversion, the
country may be able to take the
great readjustinent in It's stride.
In general, all the evidence from
the fighting fronts Is that the men
want nothing better than to finish
the Job they are on and return 10
take UP life where they left off. I'm
less the home front botches its
task very badly, the homecoming
soldiers will find adequate Opportun-
ity awaiting them to absorb all OF
their energies. In fact, their return
may well provide the essential i'm
petus to start things moving ahead
as never before.
