Club Makes Pilgrimage To Garden
OF Mayor And Mrs. John r. Waits

An outstanding event of the
early month was a pilgrimage
made by the Pascagoula Garden
club Friday afternoon to the
home of Mayor and Mrs. John r.
Watts to inspect one of the most
beautiful gardens in the Missis-
sippi Gulf Coast area.
The garden is something more
than a hobby with Mayor Watts,
and in this he is joined by Mrs.
Watts so that together they have
evolved setting of great beauty
for the house. which is still spick
and span and modern-looking
after almost a century of exls-
tence.
Rare japonicas and azaleas in
combination with King Alfred
Jonquils and other Towering
plants were seen by the visitors
as they were conducted about
the grounds by Mayor Watts who
had taken time from his very
full daily schedule to personally
guide them.
Mrs. Watts also extended greet
ings in the garden and directed
the way to the dining room
where tea was served.
In the house Mrs. Roy Wing
field presided over the tea cups
at a table lovely with flowers
from the Watts garden and was
assisted in serving by Miss Bes-
sic Perry and Mrs. Donald Sim
mons.
An interesting feature of the
afternoon was a talk on Japoni-
cas- and Azaleas given by Mrs.
Oliver Cole, who is an authority
on the subject and who is win
lei of many prizes in exhibits
in Mississippi and other states.
The visit to the Watts home
was preceded by a meeting of the
club at the 18th Street communi-
ty building. This was made very
short in order that the greatest
time possible might be spent
viewing the garden.

LABOR LEGISLATION

recent statement issued by Senator N r Walker
of Ketchikan supports our earlier view that labor
members of the last Legislature spent too much time
grinding axes for various politicians and in doing
lost their chances for several good pieces OF labor
legislation
House Bill No /, which measure proposing
certain amendments to the Workmen's Compensation
Act says Walker was indefinitely postponed by the
House because the Governor of Alaska did not want
the author of the bill Rep Curtis Shattuck or Com
missioner of Labor Walter Sharpe to get any credit
for the passage of a measure that would be as far
reaching and liberal this measure was
House Bill No l" said Walker, "on which the
Governor sees fit to give his views expert in his
Message to the People was in reality liberal
law than he himself advocated in his message to the
Legislature 1t not only included everything that he
says he advocated in Workmens Compensation Law
but it went several steps further and provided such
liberal features Second Injury Fund which is one
of the features for the benefit of those crippled vet
Grams who will be on the labor market after this war
It would overcome the reluctance of many employers
to hire handicapped workers
"As for the bill being hastily drawn and obviously
defective (Which was what the Governor said in his
green book cannot agree to such picture OF
bill that was drawn with much by the experts in
the u S. Department of Labor. This bill was received
from the Division of Labor Standards early in April
of last year and sent to all labor organizations
asking for their comments Most answers were fav-
orableJ"
In his report the Governor said that one attorney
found So things wrong with the bill This, OF course
was from the employers viewpoint, and as Walker
points out the major part of the attorneys criticism
was concerned not with the bill but with the old
law which had been in force for many years
Walker further points out that the same attorney

PHILADELPHIA
NATIONS CAPITAL

One thing every successful inter
national conference needs is a
symbol, something which the public
can understand and visualize.
Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary OF
State in 1921, was a master at this
when he staged the Washington
Arms Conference.
However, the San Francisco Con-
ference, though far more important,
far more vital to the hopes and
fears of future mankind, has been
deficient in appropriate symbolism.
For this reason the proposal of the
Philadelphia Record that the future
headquarters of the United Nations
be grouped around Independence
Hall in Philadelphia is worth care
full study
Philadelphia and Independence
Hall were the scene of almost the
/ same kind of debate now progress
ing at San Francisco-the debate
of the Continental Congress to
draw up a framework upon which
the 13 loose jointed and then dis
tant colonies could live together
in peace. Philadelphia also threshed
out the same identical problem
which has harassed San Francisco,
the voting strength of the little
states versus the big states.
But entirely aside from the SINH
larity of the problem, Philadelphia
and Independence Hall have be-
come a symbol of freedom and
fairness to all the nations of the
world. At Philadelphia, nation
was born which carried out its
pledge of giving independence to
Cuba, independence to the Philip
pines and which has the voting
support of its Latin American
neighbors because it has been fair
to those neighbors.
Furthermore, most of the capitals
of Europe have become too vulner-
able to war to be the capital OF
the United Nations. The English
Channel which once protected
London, has now dwindled, stra-
logically, to a rivulet. Switzerland,
the home of the League Of Nations,
and once considered relatively safe
from attack, is now too close to
European intrigue. Also the next
big trouble-spot of the world may
be in Asia, not Europe.
Finally, there is a more invigor-
ating atmosphere in the United
States when it comes to peace.
Geneva, London, Paris are too
blase, to pessimistic, too apathetic

spent the afternoon in the Senate taking the proposed
income law to pieces, finding as many flaws in
that law and admitted mistakes by the craftsman
but the Governor, in his report calls the proposed
income tax bill excellent income tax bill, expertly
drafted" which just goes to show that your view in
this case evidently depends upon your prejudice.
one bill was wanted very much by the Governor
and the other apparently was not. Both were killed
in the same manner-by indefinite postponement
For killing the income tax BILL which with the big
interests in the Territory compromised by the Gov
ernor by the allowance of certain concessions would
have placed the load the worker the Senate is
condemned by the Governor. But for killing the
Workmens Compensation Act, the House is praised
For the benefit of LABOR organizations who were
BETRAYED Walker points out that Rep Chris Hennings
seconded by Rep. Andrew Hope moved to postpone
the Workmen's Compensation Act. and voting with
them were Harry Badger A. B. Cain, Bess Cross
Fred Hanford Joe Krause, Frank Peratroyich and
Warren Taylor.
We might also point out that another BILL the
proposed wage collection bill which Commissioner OF
Labor Sharpe had Rep Amer Peterson introduce also
was stopped by labor men and the bill which finally
came through and also is lauded by the Governor
did nothing but raise the Commissioner of Labor's
salary.

Racist Reaction
Washington POST

washington POST
We shall be better able to understand, and TO
deal with the hideousness of German behavior II we
recognize it for what it isthe expression of culture
The recently disclosed horrors perpetrated within the
Reich had their rationale in the doctrine OF racial
superiority To Naz minds 1t was all r1gt 10 starVe
torture eXterninate Russians and Poles ana french
men and Americans because these were inferior peo-
pies But it is a melancholy paradox lndeed That AM
orleans themselves should now begin to interpret these
crimes in racial terms We belle our own fundamental
beliefs when we do So
There is for example the case of Representative
Izac OF California who is an authority on Germany
by virtue of having been prisoner of war there II
years ago His own experience of German brutality,
he told a Post reporter has taught him that these
atrocities cannot be laid solely at the door OF the
Nan system or of Hitler Rather he said they are the
result of something innate in the German people Now
here whether the Congressman intended it or not, is
rampant racism. If brutality is an innate and
neculiarly German Characteristic then it must be
present of course in all the persons OF German bfh
and ancestry who have taken up residence in America
and contributed rather significantly to TINS country
culture as well as to its material progress.
Congresswoman Luce also seems to have adopted
the pattern of racist reasoning Having viewed the
horrors of Buchenwald she was moved to wonder II
there can be amy good in any German though,
like Mr. lac she supposed the bad in Germans to be
innate and therefore aineradicabe. Mrs Luce salo
something else which struck rather contradictory
According to the United Press account of her visit
to the concentration camp, she repeated again and
again. ut could happen to us in another 70 years
Did she mean, wonder, that Americans too, might
descend to such bestality if they to forget the
values and principles of their civilization? II So we
are fearful that she quite right. 1t is somewhat
SOLDERING thought.
Savagery and sadism are elements in all men,
The crime Of the Nazis is that they Systematically
fostered these qualities in the German people And
the crime of the Germans a whole is that they
accepted this leadership renouncing the civilization
of which they were part They are products
of their cultural environment-not of. any peculiar
biologc Inheritance To recognize this Is to take the
first essential step toward solution of the problem they
present.

LINGUIST VANDENBERG

Michigans energetic Senator Van
denberg, who at the start of the
San Francisco Conference, slipped
anti-Russian stories out to certain
newsmen, finally got along much
better with Molotov In fact they
seemed to be excellent friends.
When the question of recognizing
Russia came up in the Senate 10
years ago, Vandenberg voted against
it, never has been invited to the
Russian Embassy, and always car
ried an anti-Russian chip on his
shoulder However, he has now
learned two words OF Russian, while
Molotoy learned two words of
English
Molotov's two words are "OK"
and Almighty" which he pro-
nounces with an "E-E" on the
end. Vandenberg always enjoys a
<huckle and sometimes slapped
Alolotov on the back when the
Russian Vice-Commissar came out
with these words.
The Michigan Senator, in turn,
learned TO say "Amencansky Dele
gatsia," which means American
Delegation, and he also knows the
Russian word for good, which is

chuckled when Van dropped these

1t has now become as plain as
the nose on your face what Molo-
TOW was up to when he forced the
public debate on admitting Argeh-
tina. Everyone-including himself
knew in advance that he could not
win. But he went ahead with the
debate anyway.
Reason was he wanted an afr
tight demonstration of the fact
that Latin Americans vote with
the United States as a bloc one
of the big things the Russians want
out of this conference is that they
will not be outvoted That is the
reason for the veto power, by
which one big nation by voting
mo" can stop action against an
aggresSor nation.
The smaller nations want to
change this voting balance favoring
Russia and the big nations. And
from the point Of view of keeping
the peace, it should be changed.
For big nations, not little ones,
make war
However, Molotov, by shrewdly
outsmarting Stettinius and staging
the Argentine debate, has shown
the world that Russia would al
ways be outvoted by 81 American
Republics If Stettinius had been
adriot enough to have delayed Ar
gentinas admission, he would have
robbed Molotov of his most power
