CURRENT STRIKES HIT
WHERE IT HURTS

AS high as $4,000 workers in the most
vital of the nations war industries-iir-
plane engine plahtS-haVe been idle III
the last two weeks through strikes that
cannot be termed anything but criminal.
Nearly two months ago the strategy
in the Pacific war was based on heavy
and continuous air bOmbingS, and, natur-
ally the BIOS were selected to do the
major part Of the all-Out destruction
settled upon when the finish plans were
adopted. And that strategy has been car
ried out.
But it is doubtful if the obliteration Of
one japanese city after another can be
continued because Of these strikes. Most
Of the idIeneSs is in plants turning out
engines for the supers or precision equip
ment. There is much argument as to
whether these strikes are legal. That ar
qument should be settled quickly. There
should be no such thing as a legal strike
Or an illegal strike-at time when
the country is fighting at increased tenn
po to end the bloody war as soon as
possible.
1t makes no difference who is to blame
for a strike. Severe punishment should
be meted out. Be it a diSgruntled worker
or the head Of an industry, or the highest
official in the government. they should
not be spared.
What Il record to look back upon when
the war is over and the thousands Of
homes in the country mourn One strike
alone took $4,000 men off airplane en-
CINE Jobs and what was the excuse for
that strike? A workman was discharged
for using vile language. Do $4,000 super
pilots and crewmen walk off the fight
ing Job simply because an OverWrought
commander might use 4 few "cu&&
WOrdS?' No estimate can be placed on
how many planes are held up when
$1,000 men Just quit; nor can an exact
count be made Of extra lives lost. This
much is certain. though that if these
1000 men had kept at work, the war
Would end days sooner.
It all sums up to this-because single
Workmun's feelings might have been hurt
at being discharged for uncalled for Ian
guage. thousands Of mems lives are
irOpardiZed.
Strikes were bad enough while the war
ia Europe was on, but now that we are
fighting cur own war and alone, the
slightest interruption in producing war
equipment is criminal.
That, and no less.

MCRGENTHAU'S PLANT
TO HIS DlSCREDIT

1t does not help to bolster his none too
popular standing when Henry MOrgen-
thau Jr. for more than eleven years a
member Of the cabinet-secretary Of the
treasury. elects to play the "cry baby"
act. When he declared in a public adj
dress that he wanted to stay in the
cabinet until the victory over Japan"
vas he attempting to put the President
IN the position of having forced his res
igHation? Was he trying to profess
nigh patriotism? Or was he Just talk
ing? The statement was interpreted,
and quite correctly, as meaning he had
no choice but to quit.
The eX-cabinet member the next day
after his statement did what plenty Of
his new deal associates have been doing
for years-he repudiated his statement
and still further exposing his new deal
tactics, tried to make people believe he
had been misquoted by the press.
Morgenthau left no high impressions
IS a public official and especially Of his
administration Of that office. He, Of all
the new deal cabinet members, perhaps,
was most eXpendable. Others in the cab
met who have been replaced by the new
President have accepted his move as
proper and were sincere in offering their
designations Evidently Morgenthau had

out recently, WPB developed more

Where Are The
ISoIafionsts?

The last-ditch isolationists are still with
us. They don't call themselves iSolationiStS
any more, because the name has gone out
of style But we remember who they were,
and it is worth while to analyZe the curious
pattern of their behavior since Pearl Harbor.
For the most part, our laSt-ditch isolation
lists have marched through the war draped
IN the flag, posing as Super-patriotS who
knew more about fighting a war than our
generals did. When we were busy fighting
Germany first, on the advice of our best mil
itary brains, the iSolationiStS were shouting
Remember Pearl Harbor" and demanding
we withdraw troops and supplies from Eu-
rope to give the Japs what they have COM
ing to them" They tried to make martyrs
out of MacArthur'S forces in the South
Pacific, and claimed we could get around
to Germany later.
Now Germany is defeated, and we're
ready to give the Japs what they have COM
ing to them. But what do the isolationistS
say now? Now they say we must make a
compromise peace with Japan, and prepare
to fight Russia. And if we were to fight
Russia, they'd probably tell us then that we
should be fighting Britain or Brazil instead.
The isolationists of four years ago became
the Pacific Patriots" of two years ago
They are our soft Peace for Japan" boys
of today. Before Pearl Harbor, they told
us we would get nothing out of war. They
have certainly been doing their best to make
that prediction come true, and they still are.

National Thrift
Has Virtues

The Federal Trade Commission has Just
completed report on Milk Distribution,
Prices, Spreads, and Profits" 1t gets exactly
nowhere, for it lodges such basic questions
as labor, taxation, and feed costs Every
one has raised their charges including gov
eminent (taXes). All of these costs must be
paid by the consumer who in thousand
different ways is responsible for forcing
costs up. When wages go up and taxes go
up, all material prices 60 up, and food goes
up, including milk.
1t seems almost childish for Federal
agencies to go to the expense of long winded
investigations and then dodge the real
causes for the higher cost of living, which
will continue to advance under a national
policy which shudders at the idea of thrift.
Our standard of living will drop until this
policy is revised.

Planned Confusion

o. the subject of postwar price regula-
ton, the New York Times SAYS editorially:
"OPA has now issued the regulations gov
ernlng reconverSlon price adjustments
These regulations apply to a nonexistent
world which has been created by OPA adj
ministratorS. The facts of business life are
completely disregarded. In their place is
found series of yardSticks as to what has
been happening in this nonexistent world
OPA recognizes that the 1912 price line
which it desires to hold, may not be ap-
propriate for every product. 1t therefore
establishes formula to determine the mag
nitude of permitted price increases This
formula disregardS many of the actual in
creases in cost which have taken place The
net result of using prices established under
1t will almost certainly be to slow up re-
conversion and to force many companies
to operate at loss"
Official planners who now have such a
hold on our nation seem fully convinced
that the average American is no longer COM
petent to manage his own production, buy
ing and selling affairs, as in the past If
they manage to perpetuate scarcities for
which they are now being blamed. our
nation can look forward to unemployment
and restricted production and consumption
for years to come.
The future of our whole reconversion
program will rest on production and distri-
button. If production is discouraged, there
can be no satisfactory employment And if
the people are restricted in their buying,
there can be no satisfactory production, be-
cause retail sales are the lifeblood of pro-
duction.
1t is one thing for OPA to work out
theories, it is another for American pro-
ducers and retailers to deal with the facts.
It is about time that the men who actually
have to supply our nation with the essen
tials of life, were given more freedom

A Step Toward
Better Understanding

Roosevelt high school has once more
proved itself as one of the most modern and
advanced secondary educational institutions
IN the nation with the addition of the new
civic affairs course to be offered to limit
ed number of students
The high school has been recognized by
educators as among the best in the country
and has now been named as the only high
school within the United States to conduct
the international educational experiment.
Students and faculty members will serve
as proving ground for other schools in an
attempt to show that teen-agerS have an
interest in the economic and political activ-
tiles that make up life in metropolitan areas.
The unique experiment is one that will make
the young men and women of the country
vitality interested in civic affairs and in the
long run make the words better citizens"
a working fact instead of trite phraSeology
Not only will the selected group of Juniors
and Seniors become better acquainted with
the metropolitan life of the United States
but under an exchange system with Mont
real high school, they will further their
knowledge of Canadian affairs to make a
further step in a better understanding be-
tween the border nations
