There have been many negative
arguments offered to propositions
proposed.
There have been many bold and
conflicting affirmative statements.
! know you have to have mega
tive and an affirmative argument to
make a good debate and that is
why am glad to see two men sit
down and produce a document,
stripped of all emotion, based on
hard cold facts put together scien-
tifically, which knocks down and
builds up, too. One Of the authors
is scholar, man who has devoted
most Of his life to long, cold,
analytical studies. The other is a
man who has an engineering educa-
ton as foundation, and successful
industrial career as background.
The booklet comprises only lit
pages, succinctly summarized, writ
ten in simple, straightforward Ian
guage, like the title which is "The
Control of Germany and Japan"
The authors are Harold G. Moulton.
q trained economist, head of the
Brookings institution, non-parti-
san, scientific research organization,
and Louis Marlio, a French busi-
nessman, who has constructed half a
dozen industrial plants in Europe,
served on committees Of the League
Of Nations.
This is a book which everyone
ought to read. Briefly, the plan it
offers is military control (not COM
plete or permanent occupation) with
supplemental economic devices"
This would involve disarmament
of enemy countries, with mainte-
nance Of substantial allied armed
forces at key points only as last
resort; otherwise withdrawal Of mill
tary forces as soon as possible and
the use Of a system Of detection,
to learn of violations Of conditions
and punitive measures if necessary.
''The United States" say the
authors, sis faced with two plain
detectives: either to join with
group OF nations in collective pro-
gram for preventing German and
Japanese rearmament and in gen.
eral developing universal collec-
tive security system; or to rely on
an Independent defense system ade-
quate to preserve its freedom"
And they conclude that "only by
the first means can this country
hope to maintain its national indie
pendence, or to preserve its system
of free enterprise"
Since everybody, even the Vansit-
tartists, who represent the extreme
English supporters Of punitive
peace against Germany, agree that
the peace must be such that 1t will
work best for the whole world, the
Moulton-Marlio, which holds strong
ly to this tenet, Is interesting.

Control Of Enemy

What shall we do with Germany
and Japan?
Who Is 'we"?
I have looked over a sheaf OF
books and pamphlets, listened to ra-
dio broadcasts including one by
Vansittart (the number one Ger
man-hater) and several apologies Of
the appeasionists. who think all we
need to do Is to kiss and make
up. II I am part Of that "we," l
must say that part Of us Is pretty

Washington, ID. G.
The lid is off!
Four days before election the
ticker, damned with campaign
speeches, paused long enough TO
announce the strike of the Mechan-
les Educational society in 20 Detroit
plants. There hadn't been mucn
strike news for some time and this
item stuck out like sore thumb.
The reason there had not been
much strike news was not because
there were not plenty Of strikes -
three weeks before election they
were bobbing up at the rate OF 400 q
month; 10 a day were being re-
ported to conciliators in the labor
department and that didn't include
the strikes against the decisions OF
the national war labor board, itself.
The reason why this bulge In the
walk-out record wasn't in front OF
the reading public's nose was be-
cause both parties were taking par
ticular care not to say anything
that might look as If it were criti-
cism Of a kind that would ALLEVIATE
the labor vote.
Now, as ! remarked, the lid Is of.
But this is only sample OF what
is going to happen when Germany
collapses. Washington expects when
that otherwise happy day comes, 1t
will have to face the job Of
damning veritable food OF labor
problems. And that food, many Of
the insiders believe, will inundate
the labor board and probably have
the effect of sweeping it into the
discard.
Two things badly threaten the
boards future. One was the private
walkout Of the AFL members who
simply announced they would not sit
in on any decisions on wage raises
until the board had handed down
q decision on the Little. Steel wage
formula. That was one blow. Any
decision on Little Steel, itself, will
be another.
The board knows 1t is facing a
dilemma on that subject.
Although decision in favor of
Little Steel Chat is, breaking the
wage ceiling and giving the steel
workers an increase to- meet what
the unions declare Is a rise in the
standard of living) would satisfy the
steel workers it would start whole
series Of demands for increases in
other fields.
If, on the other hand, the board
refused to adjust the Little Steel
formula upward, it would have to
face a strike in the great steel in
dustry.
That dilemma is gruesome enough
but not too far away is another
problem which will arise when Ger
many co1lapses and the govern
ment war contracts are sharply cut
back.
When this happens there are a
number Of companies which are
called ''fly-by-night" by some labor
officials because their only reason
for income is from war orders and
their chief reason for existence is
the part they play in the war effort,
a part which will not have to be
played when Germany quits. In any
case. it is freely predicted that
there will be strikes in these plants.
encouraged, aided and abetted by
the employers in the hope that their
factories will be seized by the gov
eminent. They may have no further
excuse for functioning but there is
a possibility that if the government
takes them over they can collect
something through damage suits
thereafter.
This creates very difficult prob
lem. AS you know, when the war
