Unemployment Compensation Can't

Unemployment Compensation Cant
Solve Job Problems Alone
WASHINGTON-FP)-One compila-
ton of figures on Forthcoming jobless-
ness released here August IA predicted
seven million out Of work by Christmas
in the transition from war to peacetime
employment.
This seven million figure is the work
of economists of separate agencies, and
the men said they believed a figure of
eight or nine million may be reached
in 1916.
Against this official release filtered
through the red tape of the OWL news
desk, your reported has seen a more
complete set of figures made up by still
another agency that must remain IN
mentioned-which sets 10 million as the
estimate for December. l945, and says
that four million of these will be out of
work by September.
The most re-assuring thing about
both sets of statements is that they
agree that this mass unemployment will
not be alarming" if it is only temporary.
Sure to feel the impact of this wave
of unemployment at full flood will be
Detroit and Seattle among the larger
cities-and such war boom towns as
Pascagoula, Miss, with its giant ship
yards, and Huntsville, Ala, with its
textiles.
overall, the unpleasant prospect is
that ont in ten U. S. breadwinners mot
counting the temporary workers, wives
and transient employees will be looking
for a job by the end of the year. In
some cities the figure will be higher.
That total Of 10 million is only three
million short of the low point of the
Hoover depression when we had 10 mill
lion jobless back in 1882.
Now that the crisis has come, the
various federal agencies are in a other
issuing anonymous estimates of the size
of the army OF unemployed. Those esti-
mates were available, if they could be
pried loose, months and months ago.
But owl, the National War Labor Board.
the Sterilization Director and other key
agencies and individuals felt it would
not be too good" for the morale of the
public to let them be printed.
Had the figure been announced. it is
possible that Congress could have been
forced to remain in Washington and do
something about r%econversion, about IN
employment compensation and the full
employment bill.
Today we have the prospect of the
House ways and means committee being
called back to Washington for hearings
opening August q on the Truman plan
to extend and expand unemployment
compensation to cover federal and mari
time workers and set a uniform figure
Of $25 a week for % weeks.
Chairman Robert L.. Doughton D.-N. c.
agreed to the hearings after a session
with Truman at the White House. He
is not an advocate of unemployment
compensation of any kind-and certainly
is no friend of the Truman proposal.
Undoubtedly pressure from Truman
and the Democratic administration will
force this tory-loaded committee to re-
port out a bill written largely along the
line suggested. 1t is highly likely that
it will be adopted in the face of the
unrest caused throughout the nation by
the mounting joblessness.
But the real danger will come after

1890 a Day

According to Gestapo records I'M
earthed in Germany recently, 2O5, 900
arrests were made during the first half
of 1914 in Germany proper.
One hundred and ~forty-six thousand
of these arrests we're made because Of
labor evasion and slowdowns' and the
remaining $4,000 because of dissemina-
ton OF defeatist rumors, listening to for
eign broadcasts, political and religious
opposition to the Nazi regime, etc.
This means that about 1900 persons
we're arrested daily. That was before
the attempt on Hitler's life. After July
20, 1914, the number Of political arrests
increased tremendously.
A secret a%nti-labor plot by the Falange
has been exposed by the labor newspa-
per, HOY, in Havana, Cuba, Allied Labor
News reports. The paper published a
protostatic copy Of a secret circular,
issued by a group of big businessmen,
announcing an ambitious plan Of the
Falange to attack the government, de-
stroy the Cuban Federation of workers
and set up cooperative worker-employ-
er unions similar to those in Franco
Spain. The campaign is to be fought
under the slogan of "anti-communism.'

Civil War in China?

Civil War in China?
All the whoop-la that followed Japan's
initial offer to surrender turned up
some significant developments, particu-
larly in China where Chang Kai-shek
seized on the occasion to threaten war
against China's Communist-led partisan
armies.
This is no surprise to observers of the
Chinese political scene, particularly
since the conflict between the Chung
king government and guerrilla China
which at its most quiet has been an
armed truce-flared out into the open
again a month ago in Shensi province
when fascist Gen. HUI Tsung-nan at
tackled 9th route guerrilla army troops.
But apparently Chang Kai-shek,
whose whole war policy has been to
treat the guerrillas as more dangerous
enemies than the Japanese, now is seek
ing an excuse for a f%ull-fledged milii-
tary campaign against the guerrillas.
The latest clash came when Com
munist Gen. Chu Teh mistOOk the first
conditional Japanese surrender offer for
the real thing and ordered japanese
troops to surrender and hand over their
arms to the guerrillas. Chang Kai-shek
quickly came back with an order to the
Japanese not to surrender to the Com
munists and warned the guerrillas to
take no independent" action.
The bulk of the Japanese army is north
Of the Yangste river and in Manchuria.
That's where most of the guerrillas are
too and that's where most Of the serious
fighting has been going on. From his
safe vantage point in the south, Chang
now publicly expresses his fears that
the japanese and thousands of Chinese
puppet troops will surrender to what he
considers the wrong kind of Chinese.
He is also anxious to prevent Japa-
nese weapons from falling into the hands
of the guerrillas, particularly since with
the coming of peace he will be cut off
from U. S. war material which he had
been counting on for his war against the
north China liberated areas.

The group of exiled Argentine labor
leaders who recently decided to return
to their country because of the reiter-
ated pledges of the Argentine govern
ment concerning civil liberties" were
warned on arriving in Buenos Aires har-
Dor that they would be imprisoned if
they went ashore, Allied Labor News
reports.
Accordingly, they returned to Monte
video. Among them We're Luis Victor
Sommi of the WoOdworkers Union and
Pedro Tadioli. secretary Of the Buenos
Aires Labor Federation. Their expert
ence heightened the skepticism with
which Argentine exiles view the govern
ment's action in lifting the state Of
siege, which has suppressed all demo-
cratic activities since December 194l.

Last Link in Pipeline
From India 10 China
Completed by Army
By the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, May 5.-Oil and
gasoline are flowing into China from
Calcutta through the worlds long
est pipeline, American Army au-
thorities disclosed today.
The last 400-mile link has been
thrust into China from Northern
Burma, and no longer must China's
war machine wait for precious fuel
trucked in arduously or flown per-
ilously over mountain and jungle.
Soldiers from Texas and Okla
homa and other States skilled in
pipeline construction have accom-
plished this engineering miracle
But not soldier who had helped
lay the pipelines of America ever
dreamed of such nightmare job as
this as he laid and welded the sec
tions across the plains and rivers
of the United States.
Problems Solved.
Army engineers with the aid of
Chinese workmen conquered passes
5000 feet above sea level and sweat
ed through Burma's jungles.
They toiled through the monsoons
and the freezing blasts on towering
peaks, solving engineering problems
unheard of any where else in the
world.
CThis dispatch, possibly for Sc
curity reasons to obscure location
Of the eastern terminal, did not
give the total length but the air.
line distance from Calcutta to the
nearest point on the China border
is slightly more than 600 miles.
(The Big Inch actually the
worlds greatest pipeline in terms
of capacity, is 1.475 miles It's
capacity lis far in excess of the
military pipeline of India,
Burma and ChinaD
The pipeline is of the portable
type. but for all that Army engineers
estimate it can carry double the
amount of fuel that could be trucked
over the Stilwell Road.

It's completion means that the

available limited the number of
planes in action.
In general, the artery of oil fol-

pipeline is able to pump 80-octane
gasoline behind 100-octane airplane
