James Caesar Pet- rillo devised the plan and. in de- fiance of common sense and gov- ernmental decisions. forced makers of musical records to pay royalties to his union. It is not surprising thta if Ptrillo can extort Q couple of millions a year from those who listen to records. Lewis should de- mand many times that sum from those engaged in the more vital business of using coal. Before his demands were announced he certi- fled that he was engaged in dis. pute with the coal operators. That was understatement. The demand for royalties puts him into . dis- pute with the whole public.

Youth for Christ Movement

An IMPRESSIVE demonstration
"A of the moral health that forms
the core of American society is the
wide success Of the Youth for Christ
movement
In dozen large cities and many
other smaller communities thou
sands of teen ayers are focking
every Saturday night to informal,
non -denominational religious jubi-
lees.
Boisterous and happy, having the
time Of their lives without prompting
or ceremony, naturally and unaffect-
edly and in tune with their deep
instincts they give thanks to the Re
deemer who divinely understood the
human need for JOY and love.
Many people today are worried,
and with sufficient reason, over the
mounting evidence of crlminahty
among the young.
Juvenile delinquency, as always
happens in wartime, has become
risingly grave danger to our social
stability and health.
The Youth for Christ movement
attacks this problem with intelli,
gence and energy.
It realizes that youth can be
lured but not compelled to religion.
1t knows that youth rejects rit-
ualism and suspects journalistic So
lemnity
1t recognizes the hunger of young
hearts for social participation, their
need for emotional expression, the
resistless impulse of young bodies
for intense activity.
Provide an outlet for these in
stincts in an atmosphere of genial

understanding and co operation, and
it is very rare youngster indeed
who will not come far beyond half
way to meet the requirements of cor
rect habits.
There is nothing novel or surpris-
ing in this.
THE overwhelming mass of Amer
Il lean homes, of American children,
are products of faith that is funda.
mentally, profoundly and tradition
ally religious.
That faith extends into all our
acts and thoughts; confidence in our
work, in our fellows, in our ability
to increase, in our talent to build, in
cur freedom to speak, dream and
hope.
The devoted leaders who have
given impetus to the Youth for
Christ movement have grasped the
essential character and meaning of
American spirituality, and supplied
the facilities through which our chill.
dren can express themselves &C
=cordingly.
Of course this is a powerful
counter measure against the mis-
direction of youth that results in
juvenile delinquency.
1t is more than that, too.
1t promises much toward the re-
assertion and invigoration of the
moral health that is the core of
American spirituality, which has
been challenged but has never failed.
No better investment for the
future, than for every American
community to support and encourage
the Youth for Christ movement.

STRAIGHT ThinkinS

CONVINCING proof that the
y American people are not only
thinking about the proposal for
compulsory military training in the
United States after the war but are
thinking STRAIGHT about it is
proved by the recent survey of public
opinion on the subject by the Ameri-
can Institute of Public Opinion.
Seventy per cent of those ques
toned expressed the conviction that
"every able died young man
should be required to take military
or naval training" in peacetime. o
This represented a per cent in
crease over those having the same
opinion in a similar poll conducted
last September.
Thus, there is an approach to
national -unanimity on the question
rarely achieved in such a controver-
sial matter.
THE real significance of the poll is
l. found in the fact that in the
course of the current hearings on the
question before the postwar military
policy committee of the House of
Representatives the main opposition
has been based on the assertion that
public opinion does not support mill
tary training in peacetlme.
The spokesmen representing the
opposition have consistently main
= tanned that while the war and navy
departments and ranking military
and naval authorities and the vari-
Gus veterans organizations openly
and strongly advocate such a policy,
the general public does not.
This would be serious obstruc-
tion to the program, if true.
Obviously it is NOT true
The American people are PRE-
PONDERANTLY in favor of per.
manent military training as an in.
strument of national defense and
security as the authoritative and
scientific Gallup Poll has disclosed -
not Just on one occasion, but in
FOUR consecutive surveys con.
Quoted within year.
1t is quite true, of course, that
there is wide range of opinion
among the advocates of the program
regarding the methods most adapt.
able and beneficial to the American
people.

THE range of this opinion is all the
\ way from the full year of training
favored by advocates at one extreme
to the stay at home, once "a week"
military instruction routine spon-
sored by those at the other extreme.
The middle ground in this discus
sion, as is so often the case in earnest
debate raising sincere differences of
opinion, is undoubtedly the best and
SAFEST ground for decision.
That middle ground is suggested
by the long and successful experience
of Switzerland, which has found it
possible and advisable and beneficial
to make every able bodied man COM
petent for the defense of his country
with a MINIMUM of separation
from his home environment.

INVEST POINT and Annapolis this
w week graduated large wartime
classes from West Point Tuesday,
the largest graduating class in the mill
tary academy's history, and 1040 from
Annapolis yesterday
In the Annapolis graduating class
were 10 veterans of World War H. who
came in from the fleet after service in the
black months following Pearl Harbor We
don't know how many World War II vet
-ersns were in the West Point graduating
class, but there were a considerable
number.
The education of each of these Young
men cost the taxpayers about $4,000 or
a total of about SOS s.5OOO00.

proven in all our Wars beginning Nth

THE Swiss system proves the wis
L dom and necessity of inducing
the student into a regular military
organiza tion for a sufficient period
to give him proficiency.
But it also proves that full year
of training is neither wise nor neces-
sary, since attainment of proficiency
is possible in much shorter time
and thus separation from home and
normal occupation for any longer
period is unnecessary.
AS matter of fact, our own
American experience in the present
war has proved the SAME THING,
with thousands of young Americans
becoming proficient soldiers with
much less than year of training.
HOW YER, the debate over
IL method must not divert Con-
greSS from the main which is
simply an issue of whether the
American nation can afford to risk
involvement in future wars without
adequate defensive preparation, as
it has so recklessly and expensively
done in the last two great wars
The American people almost
unanimously WANT some form of
permanent military preparation for
youth, as the Gallup Poll shows.
The responsibility of Congress is
to GIVE the American people what
they want-and in the matter of
postwar military training the sue
cessful and democratic Swiss system
is unquestionably the nearest thing
to what the people want and need.

some part of the country where the
climate is milder than that of the Hudson
valley, and where real estate values are
lower. Southern California or Texas.
where so many athletes come from. might
afford good locations. The second
Annapolis obviously should be on a big
body of water somewhere maybe on the
Gulf of Mexico, maybe on the West Coast.
These four training schools would
furnish more officers than the present
two can furnish or be practically ex-
panded to furnish. We shall need MORE
OFFICERS AFTER THIS WAR than we
have had in peacetlme previously. if We
are to maintain big enough core of a
professional force as advocated by Gen.
Bradley.
But perhaps equally important is the
fact that competition is the life of any
imaginable trade, and some competition
Uouid probably do both West Point and
