There is wave Of crime rollins
up and some folks seem to be surpris
ed by it.
Mostly this wave appears to b.
composed of what is called juvenile
delinquency, although some of il
comes right close to being grown vi
viciousness.
There is nothing surprising about
the development. 1t would be surpris-
ing if we didn't have it,
We have all Of the factors for its
development, in heaping up measure.
We have vast idleness, including
the idleness following rehabilitation.
We have an atmosphere still smok-
ing with the ghastly adventure Of the
great war.
We have young folks whose home
life has been just about zero, with
parents working to exhaustion in war
work.
We have the feeling of "what the
hell" that follows every great war;.
And now we have crime--or delin-
quency.
Now the fact that we have what
amounts to a crime wave shows us
something that should make us stop
and think hard. 1t should give us
pause, as the book writer's sometimes
put it.
1t shows us how shallow is the grip
Of civilization upon US. 1t shows US
how easily we stuff off the restraints
of civilized living.
Civilized living requires that folks
behave decently toward each other.
1t requires that they do not go around
robbing each other, or killing each
other.
There are common rules for living
that have grown up out of the expert
ences Of the human race. These rules
can be broken only at the cost of all
that we have learned.
When we throw away the restraints
that make collective living possible
we throw away the thing which we
call civilization.
d
War is the greatest reputation Of
civilization and if we have another
one 1t will be perhaps the end Of civil
ization.
The business Of developing what
we call civilization has been slow
business. 1t is still far from complete.
Too many who think they are civil
lized actually are not. And millions
never heard the word.
France in the days of "let 'em eat
cake" thought Of herself as civilized,
but she wasn't. England, when Dick
ems wrote, would have been shocked
to be told she wasn't civilized, but
she wasn't.
When we allowed children to work

we weren't civilized, either.
And all Of us still have long road
to travel, before we achieve what we
call true and complete civilization.
But such as we have doesn't seem
able to stand many shocks. Thous-
ands go haywire when jolted by out
of-line emotional experiences or by
economic shocks.
Whatever it is that makes us be-
have, in the mass, doesn't go very
deep.
Violence is an evidence of missing
stitches in the fabric Of civilization
That goes for violence Of any kind
The hope we have lies in the fact
that somehow the majority clings to
real values and marches on, bringing
the minority into line, pounding home
the lesson.
But even at that, the fabric of civil
lizatiOn that is stretched over the
vicious appetites Of savagery is, for
all of us, very thin. We had best
watch closely, lest too many fangs
poke through. When too many slip
back too much we are likely to all
of us slip little. And a good way
to avoid slipping anywhere is to re-
move, so far as possible, the causes
of the slipping.-CMW. At.

to the existence of strong cooperating

The retail drug lobby recommends
a markup of 33 1-3% on selling price,

while the manufacturers do not all

pressure from the retailers to reach
it in all goods.
Wholesalers, coming in for cut of

the fixed price law by eliminating

finds "has narrowed the retailers

"Vast Accumulated Demand"
The corporation anticipates an
over 1916 in nonresidential constIuc-
ton, with substantial increases in
increase next year of 20 percent
public and religious buildings in this
classification. An increase of ITS per-
cent in residential construction, with
total of $l,350, 100000 in the east
ern states is estimated. One and
two-family house construction will
dominate residential building in 1946,
the report states.
Potential demands is generally con-
sidered so large that it is likely to
require construction, over an extended
period, in larger amounts than in any
previous peacetime years.
"There is plenty Of factual evidence
of vast accumulated demand in the
form of estimated shortages, contem-
plated and planned construction prof
ects running into many billions of dol
lars, announced expansion and rehabi-
litation programs of industries, COM
mercial organizations, utilities, state
and local governments" the corpora
tion points out.
At the same time, it says 3 kinds
of retarding factors exist to delay re-
yival. These are increased costs and
current confusion about market con-
ditions, continuing government con-
trolls so far as prices and rents are
concerned, and the growing pains Of
an industry called upon to expand its
operations very suddenly.
Manpower Still Scarce
Manpower in the designing, build
ing, and materials and equipment
fields is still comparatively scarce,
but according to Dodge's interpreta-
tion this condition is not likely to last
very long.
Present conditions with respect to
materials and manpower do not sug-
gest any ultimate limit on the capac-
ity of the industry" the study says,
"They do Indicate, however, moder-
ate speed Of expansion in the transi-
ti0n year 1896"

HITS RETURN OF
JOB OFFICES TO
STATE CONTROL

Washington, ID. C.-QLNS).-Em-
phasizing that the problem of full em-
ployment is serious, with millions of
veterans and former war workers
looking for jobs, the labor committee
Of the National Planning Association
urged continued federal operation Of
the u. S. Employment Service. The
committee sharply criticized legisla-
tion for disintegrating the service and
returning it to state agencies.
Organized labor has taken the same
stand on operation Of the employment
service.
Offering 5-point statement of
principles for guidance of the job
service system in selecting personnel,
that the government has had to take
over the public employment service
in every big crisis.
The committee urged:
"Rigid adherence to nonpolitical
services ystem in selecting personnel,
with adequate compensation and civil
service rights for all employees.
Organization Of the system Of local
employment offices in way that
will guarantee adequate geographical
coverage and sufficient staff and
equipment in each local office to serve
workers and employers effectively.
adherence to national labor stand
ards, including: A referral policy in
local offices that keeps the employ
ment service from being used to re-
cruit for substandard industries, to
induce workers to take substandard
jobs, or to perpetuate economic dis
against qualified workers
for racial or religious reasons.
Establishment of local advisory
so that management, labor
and the public will be consulted on
all important matters"
Congressional action to break up
the USES, the committee stated, was
a retreat from responsibility" and
would turn over the task Of the states
the government would have
to go on paying the cost.
Declaring the labor market is ma
tional, the committee added that dur
ing the wartime employment boom
more than 100000 people moved
out Of their home counties.
