WORLD AT PEACE

For the first time since 1928, when the centuryold boundary dispute between Paraguay and Bolivia fared into battle, the world say that all it's nations at peace Nowhere, the surface of the globe, does any state of exist And it is en- couraging to note that the promise of peace is much brighter than at the end of World War I, when at least conflict continued and others were rumbling and steaming, volcano preparing for eruption.
 Since 1928 there has been an uninterrupted series of wars, declared and undeclared. About the time Paraguay and Bolivia settling their fight Mus solini began marching his Italian troops into Ethiopia and before that over revolution had broken out in Spain. This revolt not national affair entirely, since soldiers of Hitler and Mussoni actively engaged in supporting the cause of Franco while the Soviet supported the leftist group
 In 1937-while the bloody Spanish still raging-Japanese soldiers fired on the Chinese at historic Marco Polo Bridge, setting a blaze which burned and cracked in the Far East until August 945 Paralelng that great conflict for several years the strife in Europe-a that the gamut from the sands of the Sahara the frozen seppes of Russia

Federal Salaries
Washington Post)

During the many able and experienced men were obtained for Federal service purely patriotic grounds" President Truman told Congress in his recent message. Some of these men who are unable to continue at the present salary scales would be willing to remain at adequate salaries The Presi- dents fears that the Government would lose large numbers of experts for want of substantial salary adjustments are being realized. Some depart ments commissions and boards being stripped of their best talent because the individuals in question can no longer afford to work for the Government.
 The lure of private salaries may be strikingly seen from Jerry Kluttzs report in 'The Federal Diary" that Daniel Bell Undersecretary of the Treas ury has been offered the charmanShip of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank at salary of $25,00O a year He has had previous offers of double that sum As Undersecretary his salary is $100O0. Indeed, there are few salaries in the Government service above the $1O00o level outside of the Cabinet. Department heads face constant struggle to find and keep $25, 900 men for $10O00 year or less.
 President Truman prefaced his appeal for higher executive and judicial salaries by recommendation
 that Congress raise the pay of it's members to $2oOOO Members of Congress, he said, are grossly underpad and have been for years Considering the re- to challenge. We have frequently pointed to the necessity of substantial boost in the remuneration of our legislators the relaxation of wartime controls make it feasible That time is now here Undoubtedly the best opportunity for consideration of congressional salary boosts will be when the La Toilette -Monroney Committee brings in it's program of congressional reorganization. It must be obvious however, that there should be a minimum of delay in dealing with the whole issue of governmental salaries losses to the public service are to be curtailed

UNIONS LOSE MONEY

Big industrial unions naturally don't want any trek back to the farm. It means loss of dues. The United Auto Workers 100000 dues paying membership has now dropped to about half that. The drop was so severe that the cost of running the union went in the red. JAW chiefs are going about their wage protests in an orderly, fair-minded manner, have done their best to stop the Kelsey Hayes wildcat strike. But some union leaders prefer strikes. It helps increase their power in the union. In Schnectady, General Electric's Charles E. Wilson long has advocated higher wages. He says it helps him sell electric re- frigerators, electric irons, etc. He has been ready to make upward wage adjustments voluntarily, just as wise Standard Oil of New Jersey increased it's pay immediately and automatically at the end of the war. However, certain CIO electrical workers seem more inter ested in a strike than voluntary or negotiated wage boost. .. Some labor leaders, unfortunately
 seem deliberately looking for strikes among them John L. Lewis. They bring disfavor on the heads of other labor leaders, have given the

came to Washington, worried sick over the future market for grape fruit and oranges. They feared return of the old days when their fruit was dumped into Florida rivers. The Army has just concelled orders for several million cases of orange juice. Simultane- ously, it has turned back on the civilian market several million more surplus cases.
 This backlog is bound to have a depressing effect on citrus fruit. :. :. Citrus fruit growers know that with wages dropping, the civilian demand for oranges and grapefruit will also nose-dive When workmen get paid less, first thing they quit buying is fruit. Cattlemen also figure on drop in prices. Not only will the Army buy less, but workmen eat less when wages are cut. Same is true of many other farm commodities, including dairy products. :. Never before has the average American eaten so well-despite rationing as during the war years, largely be- cause wages were high Sel- dom before, also, have farmers been so prosperous. Seldom before, however, have farmers been so sore at labor unions. They were looking forward to buying new autos, new farm machinery. Now all this is delayed by strikes. Also they were looking forward to the return of cheap labor from cities to farms. So far this hasn't ma terialized.

PROFITS SOAR

Auto workers averaged S58 weekly in 1914 under a 48-hour week. Elimination of overtime now brings this down to $40 a week. In addition, now that government no longer foots the entire production bill, management is downgrading jobs, thus reducing higher-paid situations. Incentive payment plans also are being dropped.
 Average weekly wage in the oil refining industry was $58.23 in 1944 Most oil workers were on a 52-hour week, so are taking a bigger cut than auto workers as they go back to a 40-hour week. Many oil men got double pay for each hour after AS. =. No one expects these lush wages to continue, but on the other hand, profits run up by certain war in- duStrieS are on the books for everyone to see, and this irks labor. General Motors, now threatened with a strike, earned $244 100000 in 1940 This shot up to $435 1000, 900 in 1944-before taxes. While taxes were heavy, General Motors net worth increased $235, ,092, ,444 during the war years. |. Steel profits weren't meagre either. Be- tween 194O and 1914 they climbed 113 per cent as against profits earned between 1885 and 1889. ;. During the war the steel in dustry made $1,225 100000 com pared with only $576,000,000 during the previous five years-after pay ing taxes. Phil Murray, CIO chief, also head of the steel work i CTS union, has circulated these profits among his union members where a showdown is due soon.

LABOR CHAFF

Secretary of Labor Lew Schwel- lenbaoh demanded that Truman re- organize the Labor Department last July, but Truman didn't budge until after the Ford Motor shut down. Schwellenbach himself also has moved slowly. In the oil strike, he let four days pass before labor and management held their first meeting. Excuse is that both sides needed time to get to the meeting. Present-day communications permit Secretary of State to fly to London in less than 24 hours, but it takes longer to get a union head and a company president to Chicago.
 Truman's Labor Department re- organization is largely synthetic. He transferred the U. S. en- ployment Service, the War Labor Board, the War Manpower Com mission, and the Retraining and Unemployment operations of the Veterans Administration to Schwel- lenbach. Same day Truman abolished the War Manpower Com mission, his friend, Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois, pushed bill transferring the USES back to the

IMMUTABLE LAW OF CAUSE and EFFECT
CONFLICT OF COLOR

analyze the emotions and reac-
tions of different people when
faced with the color problem. In
most cases the use of common
sense will avoid friction.
Recognition of individual equal
ity based upon achievement should
take the place of the demand for
racial equality. The one positive
law of nature is inequality. Men
are unequal physically, unequal
mentally, unequal morally, I'm
equal socially, and unequal in
every conceivable way. Discrim-
ination of people therefore, should
be based upon individual attrib-
utes rather than on color of skin.
While the great mass of Ne
groes remain in darkness, idle
ness, and are guided largely by
animal instincts, it is useless for
the Negroe intelligentsia to de-
mand racial equality. Such de-
mandls will be denied by white
people for the same reason Upper

the horizon as Seattle's biggest
social and educational event.
The uniformed Cap and Gown
Club, an auxiliary of Evergreen
Temple DIR. Elks, and a leading
spirit in the Educational Depart
ment, has thrown all it's resources
behind the Oratorical Contest
Committee to make the affair an
educational highlight to Seattle's
high school students.
$1,000 Scholarship
A $1,000 scholarship should be
a sufficient incentive to attract
any ambitious high school boy or
girl, said Chairman Attorney c. M.
Stokes. This is the first regional
contest to be held in Seattle and
we hope for a flattering attend
