COMPULSORY TRAINING

The Daily Worker, official organ of the American Communists is strongly opposed to universal military training in the United States It is not in the least opposed however, to the military training program of the Soviet Union for the Daily Worker does not question the wisdom of any decision reached by the authorities in Moscow. The AFL MachinSts' Union definitely is not Communist organization. But it. too opposed to compulsory military training the United States and is interesting to examine the in which the Communists capitalize on that fact.
 On the front page of recent issue of the Daily Worker there appeared, in big type these headnes "AFL MACHINISTS PLAY TRUMAN DRAFT PLAN ASK: WHOM DO WE PLAN TO FIGHT?" The ma chniss most of all to fear what they call the danger of compulsory labor" in time of war but the headlines in the Daily Worker did not materially distort the sense of their statement, which read in part follows: Adoption of compulsory military training would mean to the common people of all lands that the United States is getting ready for another Against whom? It is against of the Allied nations?"
 This is old and tricky question. Tn his recent report as Chief of Staff General Marshall recalled that after the First World War he assisted General Pershng in the latter effort to persuade this country to establish and maintain sound defense policy. Had General Pershings recommendations been &C., cepted we might have saved the hunderds of billions

Continental Shelf
Washington Post)

Washington Post)
 The Presidents assertion of American jurisdiction over the resources of the continental shelf of the United States is a useful formalization of common sense idea "The continental shelf the President pointed out, may be regarded extension of the land of the coastal nation and thus naturally appurtenant to it." And the exercise of authority its subsoil and seabed is, therefore, MT Truman put it. reasonable and just" Most Americans, we suppose have taken this for granted. And it seems unlikely that foreign governments will contest a theoretical extension of sovereignty long accepted in practice.
 The effect of the Presidents proclamation is to protect right of the United States tideland as against any claim to them which might be advanced by, say Liberia or Guatemala. But it affords pro lection whatever against claims to these lands ad vanced by Texas or California According to White House statement, the proclaimed policy docs not touch the question of Federal versus State control is concerned solely with establishing the jurisdiction of the United States from international standpoint But just few days ago the House of Representatives passed a bill declaring that the United States of America hereby renounces ard disclams any right, title interest, claim in and to all lands beneath tidewaters and navgable waters within the boundaries of each of the respective States"
 This refers of course, to the very tidelands over which President Truman has now asserted the Nations right and interest. And fancy that it will be the Nations claim which Liberia and Guatemala will respect. Moreover, the Nations Navy not the California or Texas navy, will make the claim stick provided it has enough oil to patrol and protect our national shores Yet oil happens to be the very modity which the States want to ban the United States Government from taking out of the tideands. If the States have their way, the fact of American
 jurisdiction over the continental shelf may be reduced to theory.

of dollars and the than million casualties that have expended to restore peace once again. But General Pershing twenty years was asked Against whom do we prepare? Obviously the question was one which could not then be answered. General Marshall went to say that late 1940 he was asked very much the same question by committee of Con gress and then he could not say definitely where this country might have to fight. But within year did have to fight and because were not prepared paid wholly unnecessary price in human lives and material resources.
 As intelligent Americans when the same old ques- tion asked again by domestic Communists or even by such organizations as the AFL machinists, we should remember this record of the past As of today no one say where against whom may have fight ten, twenty thirty years hence But neither can any one say, with the slightest assurance that
 it may not again become necessary to fight for our existence somewhere against some new aggressor Obviously must take the latter possibility into account And it is beacuse of this that like the President and the Chief of Staff urge that the United States should be prepared, not to fight some par tcular country but to defend the things which mean so much to against any potential aggressor.

HOROSCOPE E "The stors incline
 but do not compeW
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25

Benefic aspects. rule strongly to- day. It is favorable for medita- ton, good resolutions and wise counseling.
 HEART AND HOME
 In the family there may be con- flicting opinions regarding plans for the winter. Women may be torn between household duties and chan ces to earn good salaries. Although the stars presage economic indepen- dence for women pursuing their careers after marriage, this is a transition period in which patience should be the watchword.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 International contracts and agree ments gradually developing along cartel lines are forecast. Competi- tion in trade and commerce will be intense. Britain and the United States will have to make carefully considered plans of mutual far reaching influence.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Because of reckless pursuit of pleasure the nation will have to curb gambling, pugilism and horse rac- ing, it is prognosticated.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Distrust and hate, hunger and illustration in recently liberated na- tions will bring serious problems next month. France comes under a sway which presages progress in national rehabilitation.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of strenuous effort. Many avenues will be open for the able.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious and energetic. These Sagittarians should reach any set goal

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26


 Benefic aspects conflict with ad- verse planetary influences today. There is a good sign for all con- structive work.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are under the best direc- ton of the stars today and should take stock of their talents and po- tentialities. It is an suspicious date for new beginnings. Love affairs will distract college girls from their studies. This is happy wedding day.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Theatres will profit greatly. The stars promise much to dramatists, actors and producers. Players on stage and screen should recognize their responsibility to the public and should avoid presenting un- pleasant views of life.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 After liberty which often degen- Cl dCtd lillO llCCllSN, r1hlCAiA "AAA accept long established standards of modes and morals, it is prognoSti- cated. Chastitl and dignity will be fashionable when Aquarian vibra- tionS are felt.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS According to the stars the Brit ish Labor Party will put into effect it's program which includes nation alization of the Bank of England and certain industries. Dominion affairs will offer puzzling problems but diplomacy will be successful in most negotiations.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair for tunes. Surprising good luck awaits many women.
 Children born on this day probably will be gifted Numerous writers and artists are indicated.

 Discussing the knotty problem of having Allied advisors cooperate with Gen. Macarthur, the State Department official said: Gen. Mccoy has seen English, French, Australians, Russians and Chinese at the Imperial Hotel in Japan. They were military observers going around the country"
 He admitted, under cross -exami- nation, that they were not acting as advisors to MacArthur.
 Then the official went on to say that there were 5,000,O00 unem- ployed in Japan.

LOCKED DOORS

The opening session of the Far Eastern Advisory Commission, held here last week, was strictly a closed door affair. In fact, it was a locked door affair-with the key on the outside.
 With the press barred even from the initial ceremonies, the diplo- mats of 10 nations retired to a third-floor room in the musty old State Department Building and saw to it that the door was closed be- fore a word was said. Correspond ents lined the corridor outside, sitting Cn camp stools.
 Joe Chiang, veteran correspond. ent for the Central China News Agency, suddenly arose from his seat, staring at the doorknob. Quietly, he stole over to the door, grasped the key, which had been left outside. turned it and de- parted.
 A few minutes later one of the diplomats decided to leave the room. But it was locked. Inside were such distinguished diplomats as Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes, His Britannia Majesty s Ambassador the Earl of Halifax Chinese Ambassador Dr. Wei Tao- ming, Dutch Ambassador pr. A. Loudon, Australian Foreign Min ister H. V. Evatt, and representa- tives of France, India, New Zea- land, Canada and the Philippines
 All of them were locked in Newsmen outside grinned as one of the diplomats banged on the door.
 Joe" remarked one newsman tc Chinese Correspondent Chiang, q thought your country believed ir the open-door policy"
 Finally. kind-hearted reporter rescued the key from Joe Chiang and unlocked the door
 After that when the Far Eastern Commission went inside, they were
