Prisoner LabOrers
Washington Post)

Such little information we have concerning the employment of German and Italian prisoners of war is of conflicting nature Some reports indicate that they have done satisfactory work; others that they soldier the job. Much depends on the firm ness and competence with which prisoner groups are handled since no man. regardless Of race or na- tonay is going put forth his full effort in state of servitude However the quartering in the United States of many thousands of Germans and Italian prisoners of war has undoubtedly been great help in relieving wartime labor shortages. By that same token the repatriation of these prisoners will afford opportunities for unemployment to thousands of dis placed warWorkers.
 Undersecretary of War Patterson states that among the 100000 German and Italian prisoners of war now in the United States those available for work engaged on military, naval, industrial and agricultural projects In view of the War Depart ments intention to return these prisoners to their homes at the earliest possible moment the United States Employment Service has been advised to com muncate with employers and urge the taking of steps to replace such labor Repatriation is bound to be fairly proceeding, for reasons pointed out by the War Department. Shortage of shipping for transport is a major bottleneck. Even if there were enough ships to move the prisoner army within a brief period Germany and Italy would not be able to absorb under existing disorganzed conditions
 A third factor influencing the rate of return of prisoners, e. the possible need for prison labor in this country, is noted by the War Department It is factor that will trust, play part in determ- ming the rate of release of prisoners of war The principles of individual liberty in which profess to believe would become mockery if were to hold such prisoners in peacetime servitude for our own convenience. During the and until such time as transportation home becomes possible properly
 insist that prisoners of should render service in exchange for their keep and custody. But there is excuse for pIolonging their detention and exacting labor from them moment longer than necessary.

Site for a World Capital
(NeM York Timesl


 In these days of air transportation approaching the speed of sound the world capital where the United Nations agencies will be set up could be made accessible almost anywhere except in the polar regions. There still remains the problem of where it could be most suitably located. Philadelphia has had her say and there historic points in her favor Now what is termed discreet" campaign has been undertaken behalf of point near San Fran cisco The arguments here appealing Except for coastal fogs, which can be avoided by moving bit inland, northern California has a toerable climate than any great world capital, including The Hague and Geneva. On the air map Fairbanks Alaska is on the direct line of travel but it's climate would not suit most of so well.
 The San Francisco region has another advantage though Europeans may not regard such It looks out on what is and is likely to be for a long time the worlds most critical The West and the East meet there truly than at Suez The pillows that break on the Seal Rocks may transmit the belated shock of a typhoon in the China Sea. The weather, as all readers of George Stewards storm will remember, comes from that direction. The political and economic weather for generations in the future may from that direction, too and the world capital must be able to control it. natural weather cannot be controlled
 The immediate problem is not where the United Nations meet but what they able to accomplish. They did accomplish something at San Francisco and might do in that neighborhood. Let other cities speak up but let this candidacy be made matter of record.

LONG LABOR RULE

Attlee is good man. over shadowed by his association with Churchill. My guess is that Labor is in for a long run, if there is any change it will te to displace Attlee for one of its own, such as Beyin or Morrison As it's name im- plies, this is a Labor victory, built in a democratic framework.
 unquestionably, the fact that Labor received a clear majority of all the votes, will tend to unify the country. I believe there is nothing to fear from England In fact. we may be able to learn from this great experiment My hope is that there will not be too great a limitation set upon free enterprise.
 We should remember that Ram say MacDonald's Labor Government swung steadily to the right. In fact it is automatic that the Ins grow conservative and the Outs more radical.
 That is happening in America right now. II wouldn't be surprising

UNIVERSAL WAR WEAKNESS

In my reading, it is almost a settled law of history that every country engaged in a war repudi- ateS the leadership that brought it's people into the war. We saw that exemplified after World War I. All the victors were repudiated-Wilson in America, Lloyd George in Brit ain, Orlando in Italy, Clemenceau in France, and the losers, too the Hohenzollerns, the Hapsburgs and the Romanoffs.
 Apparently, a great wave Of war weariness overwhelms all peoples and they throw out anyone re- motely connected with the war. If that be true, it disposes of any question Of military candidates. But there is small likelihood of that; America has chosen a great mili- tary figure really only once. That was Grant-and his presidency was stencil
 Attlee's Cabinet is a strong one and certainly as good as Churchill had.
 There is an additional point, in connection with the English result on which should like to eXpatiate for just a moment.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-08-30

which I refer above. The people want to end the pressure of war and enjoy the pleasures of peace.
 One other thought in this con- nection:
 In any war, we must oe sure the victors do not take on the vices of the vanquished, while the van qquished practice the virtues of the victors.
 You will see, from this screed, that I am not pessimistic. On the contrary, I think we in America are about to embark on a long voyage of prosperity. in which social changes will come; but they will come slowly and soundly.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

FRIDAY, AUGUST 31

Adverse planetary influences today seem to warn against mistakes in government policies.
 HEART AND HOME Heartwarming and reassuring let ters will gladden. many households at this time. Faith and patience should rule homes where war needs extend vacancies in the family circle. This is not fortunate sway under which to make long journeys; air travel should be avoided by civilians.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Officials with business experience will multiply in Washington as the Federal Government undergoes re- forms in which commercial techni- que is substituted for political meth ods. Economies will be practiced as we'll as preached in the vast expendi- lures entailed by prolonged war.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Partisan prejudices may be inject ed as provisions for the enforcement of the United Nations Charter are discussed, but the aspects that are believed to have made the League of Nations intellectual are not now active.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year that brings much happiness. Love and success will combine to assure joy for men and women.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will have extraordinary careers. With great potentialities many may use their talents to reach real fame.

I believe, therefore, it is safe to conclude that the short-time tendency in England reverses that of America
 England has been our political laboratory for many years, but sometimes there is a long time between the English experiment and American translation into practice.

HOLDER U. D. UNIONS

The English result will embolden the demands of the unions-and there may be dynamite in that because the returning soldier, at this moment, is pretty sore at union delays.
 I think the deep explanation as to the outcome in England (al- though it may not appear upon the record) is that war -weariness, to

NO NEW FOREIGN POLICY

I should doubt that there will be any decisive changes in foreign policy. Britain has consistently ad- hered to a pretty well formulated foreign policy for almost 300 years. However, it is reasonable to expect a greater sympathy on the part of the British Foreign Office for the movement left of center than with the Kings and Tories the expiring government supported. An ap- proach to government in India is to be expected.
 l think foreign trade will become more international minded and more collective I think it will move toward further cartelization. The question about British commerce growing will be dependent upon their raise of wage. Labor will drive for wider employment and higher pay. Probably it will take over many features of Beveridge's plan To hold the British position in world markets will require subsi- dies. In other words, Britain will embark upon a species of pro- lection.

WE WON'T COPY ENGLAND

There is an inSiStent belief that the English elections are definitely an indication of how ours are going. While, unquestionably, the result shows tendency, in reality there is nothing to warrant the belief that it is any more than such a tendency. Let's look at the record:
 In 1908 to 1911, Lloyd George was beginning his successful cam paign for vast social reforms in Britain. We remained conservative electing Taft in 1908, and would have elected Republican in 1912 had it not been for the Bull Moose split.
 England went liberal during the war, and thereafter, but we turned solidly to the right immediately after the war, while England, in the early POS elected a Labor Gov ernment. In 1913, when Macdonald got plurality, we put our leader ship in the hands of Calvin Cool idge.
 In 1923 We elected Hoover, where as, Labor won that year or the next in England
 In 1892 and 1886 We chose Roose- Welt, whereas, England went com- pietely conservative in f935.
