RAILROADS NEED MANPOWER
(RiUerside Daily PresS).

e. htCeTStUe Duuy TISSSI
The railroads are confronted with a
manpower shortage that must be over
come. The crisis is so serious that the
Office of Defense Transportation, the
War Manpower commission, and repre-
sentatives of railroad management and
labor have agreed to launch an intensive
recruiting drive for 100000 additional
employees Both men and women are
needed. Those without required skills
will be trained.
According to the Association of Amerl-
can Railroads, THE manpower problem
of the railroads is threefold: First. more
workers must be recruited Immediately
to fill existing vacancies. Second, work
ers must be recruited to replace those
who will be called to the armed forces
or who leave for other reasons. Third,
labor turnover on the railroads must be
slowed down by convincing the men and
women who work for the railroads that
their Jobs are indispensable to the war
effort"
It is difficult for the public to realize
the paralyzing effect on the war effort
accruing from a shortage of railroad
workers. On the average day in Febru-
ary, 1914. 81 freight trains throughout
the country were delayed two hours or
more due to shortage of train crews;
65 switch engines could not operate for
lack of one or more yardmen. Recently
a shortage of only "a machinists and five
boilermakers at Richmond, Virginia, held
up repairs to locomotives necessary to
move trains in and out of the yards,
which caused congestions, backing up
freight trains for hundreds of miles, on
at least three ma or railroads.
Ralroading is vital, colorful work in
war or in peace Now is the time to get
a Job on the ralroads-and stick with

Chandler Sells
Mexico Banks,
Land Holdings

Imperial Valley residents are
interested in the announcement that
Harry Chandler, Los Angeles news
paper publisher, and his associates
have sold all heir holdings IN the
Mexicali Valley, some of which they
have held since 1899.
Mexican interests were said 10
have purchased the property whl6h
included banks in Mexicali, Tijuana,
and Ensenada, Colorado River Land
company holdings, and 100000 acres
OF land. This land is all that is
left of the 100000 acres the company
owned before the agrarian move
ment swept Mexico. Identity of
the purchasers was not revealed.
The Chandler interests have been
active in Mexicali Valley more than
IS years The company played in
important part in affairs on both
sides of the international boundary
and were vitality concerned with the
early development of the area.

How China, under the pressure
of war, is becoming leading world
nation was described this week for
the Ell Centro Rotary club by Chi
Hsien Mao, Chinese consul to Mexi-
cali.
In the course of his talk the con-
sui described the great progress
China is making toward national
ism and expressed confidence that
the military alliance between China
and Uncle Sam will prove more than
lust a temporary fraternity under
war conditions.
China Jagged far behind modern
ism until the middle Of the 18th
century, MI Mao explained. In the
early decades of this century it
was striving to become united, but
with only slow progress. Chief diff
ficulties, said the speaker involved
vast distances, great masses of pOpu-
lations, little in common between
classes and people and remoteness
from outside world impact.
That China could last through
years of war, resulted from the de-
Velopment of real leadership in the
person of Chang Kai-shek, and the
development of a strcng sense of
of nationalism during the war years,
he declared.
THE Chinese people have been
receiving a political education wider
and deeper than ever before. China
now is a national entity" said
Chi-Hsien
mot only is the United States
aware of close, friendly feeling, but
there is every evidence that this
will prove lasting friendship based
upon the knowledge that China
will unite to keep the Pacific safe
in years to come"
Seven men were elected to be-
come the new Rotary club board of
directors to take office later this
summer. Those elected were: w. A.

ABSORBING FIGHTING MEN
IN INDUSTRY AFTER WAR

Unless some wreck-agency of the scores
spawning their crack-pot schemes for the
absorption of the nations fighting men
into industry interferes, one of the main
problems of rehabilitation already is un-
der way of solution, and through the
foresightedness of industry itself. Sue
cess of these moves, of course, depends
upon the survival of private industry it
self when the present administrative pow
ers get through their plans for future
and continued RECOMMENDATION of men and
means.
Some of the nations largest concerns
have gone far already in considering the
changed needs in industry and, what Is
more important, the changed men who
will return to their places once they have
finished the job of war. These studies
recognize that there must be a readjust-
ment as to the fitness of men for former
or new Jobs Many will return much
better equipped than before they left;
some will have attained unusual eXecu-
tive ability through their experience IN
handling men and situation on war fronts
and others will have found that they may
be happier and advance faster in indus
trial Jobs in altogether different depart
mants than which they worked before the
call to arms.
In tackling this problem, industry is
not going at it hit-or-miss, nor are the
men directing this study, warped in their
judgement by any fly-by-night scheme;
neither are they concerned with the op-
portunist who has an Utopia up his sleeve,
and most certainly those having the re-
sponsibility of preparing, far in advance.
an adequate program for the d2mobillzed

is needed.
Industry and businessmen are cogni-
zant of the pledge they made to restore
fighting men to their old jobs, and there
is, it is hoped genuine desire to fulfill
those pledges. The lead taken by num-
Der of major industries indicates that
this promise is not only to be kept, but
that they are going much further by
making sure the fighting men will be in
situations that will be better and con-
tribute to greater contentment and assure
them larger place in society.
When is a congressman not a congress
man? When he is bluffed out by a
bureaucrat.
The war in the orient is measured by
monsoons. Nature refuses to defer to
man in this case.
Seems strange to credit the Greeks and
French with acts of sabotage when
groups get so they can't endure the nazis
and rise up in revolt.

BOMBS ON SWITZERLAND

(Christian Science MOnitor)
Energetic measures are doubtless be-
ing taken by the responsible authorities
to prevent such regrettable mistakes as
the shooting down of American trans
port planes by American ships in battle
off Sicily, the shelling of landing barges
at Eniwetok, and the bombing Of the
Swiss town of Schaffhausen by Ameri-
can planes.
Sometimes the confusion of battle, in
which visibility is reduced nearly to zero
by smoke, helps to account for such err
rors. In the case of Schaffhausen, the
miscalculation seems to have occurred
because of high winds which carried the
pilots off their course.
The Swiss are reported as taking this
incident with remarkable calm. They
are disciplined in the requirements of
neutrality. Switzerland is set like a little
island with the Axis sea close around
The Swiss know that world wars cannot
always be tailored to the inch.
But that does not lessen in any degree
the responsibility which Americans feel
for this bunder. Whatever amends can
be made will, of course, be made. And
a whole series of incidents in which mis-
calculation has played too big a part
will spur the efforts of military author
tiles to provide surer and surer safe
guards against unnecessary losses to our
selves or others. These efforts can be
backed up by the constructive insistenca
of the home front that accidents of this
nature are not inevitable"
If the invasion of Europe will consist
of private operations of the type Of the
Italian campaign Germany will be able
to defend itself bv limited number of
divisions and will continue to keep her
main forces on the Soviet-German front.

planes, and when a plane appeared
in the sky he'd go into sort of
daydream until he couldn't see it
anymore, she reminisced.
