Two days after the foregoing editorial appeared in the columns of the Seattle Pos-Integencer the Typo graphical Union went on strike.
 Last Sunday evening the printers failed to show up for work in all the newspapers in Seattle, that all Seattle daily newspapers forced to suspend oper aton.
 The Union demands an increase of 28 per cent in- crease in wages.

SACRED COWS ARE DOOMED TO GO

(Elsie N. Danenberg in The Milwaukee JournaD
 The greatest crisis of the times will grip Deh India when that city provincial planning commission head ed by British Maj. Gray D. Dorsett, principal planning officer announces that sacred doomed to go
 No longer will these animals be allowed to roam at will through the streets
 The COW is the most sacred of all animals to the Hin dus. It must not be killed. It must not be eaten.
 Indias agricultural economy is built around the cow It gives milk it's dung is used fuel and manure and it's male offspring, when castraed draw the carts and heavy wagons and blow the fields. To the vager the COW is symbol of prosperity, of life giving bounty.
 In no corner of the world does the receive so much homage yet give niggardy return. One-third of all the worlds cattle in India yet 7O of the don't give milk
 Dorsetts idea is to take these cows, of which owned individually and by groups of Indians and put them to pasture outside the city Pasteurzaton of the milk would be the next step.
 Another angle to the problem of gaining the coopera ion of the people the plan to ncarcerate the is the question of fuel.
 At the present tme the dung is collected by the natives formed into cakes slapped onto hot stones pavements and dried in the sun.
 The Delhi province planning commission wants to use this dung to fertilize Indias thin soil But the peo pie will not want to give up their favorite fuel.
 It will be necessary to educate them to the acceptance of new burner either coal wood the cost of which would have to be subsidized by the British government for they could afford neither.

STRIKES INTERFERE WITH RECONVERSlON

STRIKES INTERFERE WITH kECONN Eho1ON
 (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
 Mir. Bernard Baruch, advisor to many Presidents on economic problems and an acknowledged and respected authority in that field has written thoughtful ana challenging letter to Representative Gore ot tennessee regarding the growing and disastrous interference with the postwar reconversion program attributable to strikes.
 Commenting upon the essential relationship between American prosperity and freedom and peace on one hand and maximum industrial production on the other, MT. Baruch said:
 "Wthout it (full production) cannot keep any semblance of modern, civilized government
 we ask inflatiOn
 We mute the voice with which we speak for peace in this world"
 The issue before the country this respect, said Mr. Baruch IS simply that: Labor disputes cannot continue to interfere with production they do.
 In civilization, where people induced to buy things and to make them part of their daily lives, a deep obligation rests management and labor to fill those needs
 Mr. Baruch acknowledged that he once had high hopes of collective bargaining and intelligent leader ship in management and labor to bring about under standing without interference by government"
 But he that there is such strife in the land occasoned by the violence of the struggle between agement and labor and wholly unmitigated by futile of collective bargaining that full production is mpossibe-and that consequently not only pros perty but our security and peace and our very ber ties, are in jeopardy.
 Unless strife ceases soon he earnestly admonishes government must take hand, and strong One in the interest of the contestants, the public and itsef'
 Only the miracle of American production save the situation now he urged in peace as it did in but if the nation is to perform that miracle it must hurry.
 The admonitions of Mr. Baruch are authoritative and timely.
 The American people have two great aspirations for the immediate future, being to their own prosperity and and freedom and the other being to promote the conditions of life in other countries Ruinous and unnecessary strikes rendering the American people impoten for the attainment of these obectves and of course the first duty of the country to stop and prevent strikes and the strife attending them.
 But after this is done Mr. Baruch counseled the country has still another duty.
 When we have restored full American production by the elimination of industrial strife, he said, we must make sure that the share of this production we make available to other countries not used by them to de- stroy our productive system

 "We must not despair and fall into mute resignation" he told the Germans. "Once again we must set ourselves to stride along the path through the dark future."
 Where that path will lead is the worlds vital concern. NaziSm is beaten, but not dead There is no sincerely repentant note in Krosigk's message And Ameri- can correspondents have failed to dis cover any notable repentance among the German people. They hate Hitler for leading them into lost war, rather than for leading them into war to impose on the world a philosophy unworthy of human intelligence and culture.
 Hitler surrounded himself with an ln- significant band of crackpotS and cut throats But they were not too insignifi- cant to hypnotize morally sick nation and plunge the world into it's greatest war. They left their country exhausted and in ruins, but they managed to sink away and save at least some of their cowardly lives. And as long as any of them remain alive, they will have to be hunted caught and exterminated before the world is safe.

son library. 1t is stated that the post office is tainted with the bias ailment In many instances the tattoo marks did not meet the re- quirements of the rule of bias. If the Would-be reformers, who are characterized by an intellectual ego would avail themselves of jobs of productivity, economic con- ditions would be served, and the so- cial and bias questions would nat urally care for themselves. All per- sons have locked in their minds germ of bias, and secretly is used at times plus vicious, but cannot be lawfully abolished
 An employer of labor has the right, to use his prerogative in selecting a person for employment, and considering the color, creed, and race. This-Ives & Quinn, New York, anti-bias legislative bill en- acted into law, is an aftermath of new dealism started in 1882: as the figure heads disappear from sight. these new deal ruminators, will be miminized and we will be rid of the more select idealists, than U. s. ever had. The would-be reformers and regimentation ad- vocates have suffered loss of prestige of late, as congress, regains it's lost power. While U. s. has not been entirely free from prejudices, aver sions and antiquities in religious, social, and political life, they have never reached the zenith that has been experienced in the old world. As a matter of fact. the prejudices are mostly born of and through Biblical interpretations, that have through idealists entered our civil life, and it's difficult to comprehend, If the bias law will prove necessity from practical standpoint.

St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City is soon to have an addition which will be known as the Alfred E. Smith Memorial in memory and honor of our great American, recently deceased, Alfred E. Smith. This is fine gesture that the new hospital addi- tion will be so named Charitable and humanitarian Mr. Smiths love for his fellowman was uppermost among many fine characteristics. In regard to this de- cision Archbishop Spellman made this an- nouncement last Sunday: "This institu- tion,, so the Archbishop stated, was very close to the heart of Alfred E. Smith" This new wing is to accommodate all classes of patients, because Alfred E. Smith himself" the Archbishop said, was a friend to all sorts and conditions of men,

Ghosts

In the wake of Allied victory parade of ghostly names has passed across the pages of the worlds newspapers. Dala- dier, Herriot, Blum and Reynaud, who pi- loted France through some stormy his tory; Gamelin and Weygand, remem- bered from the tragic hour of Frances military collapse; Schuschnigg of Aus tria; Kallay of Hungary, and son of the old regent, Horthy; the financier Schacht and one of the Thyssens of the Ruhr, Hal der of the German General Staff and the brave Pastor Niemoeller, bad Germans and good.
 Forgotten in the swift course of events, their names call up again a remembrance of old conflicts and recriminations, of rival political gospels, of fears and hatreds and courage.
 Reading those names one wonders what happened to their bearers in the months and years when they were, in the truest sense, dead to the world? Will their reappearance revive the old con- flicts? Or has their enforced time of soll- tude and contemplation worked some alchemic miracle which will resolve the old differences and send them back into the world richer in wisdom and more ready to advance the coming of what Wendell Willkie hopefully called One World?

FRANK B. PARSONS QUESTIONS EFFECTIVENESS OF SO- CALLED ANTI DIS-
 EXAMINATION
Waterbury Democrat,

Waterbury Democrat,
 MT. Editor:
 A wave of anti bias sentiment and ideals has invaded some states of our Union. how much it threat ems our serenity is to be seen You cannot enact ideals into law with any prospect that they will work. You cannot legislate to control free thought, and mans prejudices are part of his liberty of thought. Our present immigration quota ex- clusion law is based on the dis like of indiscriminate entrance of undesirables from foreign lands. Some advocates of anti-bias legisla- ton would revoke our present quota exclusion law
 What happy Utopia we would have in selecting employees for po- sitions. Employers will adjust themselves to the situation and will secretly satisfy their de- cision with admirable tact, with ex- pert answers to pointed questions. Before long these self f-constituted reformers will again attempt to steer through and legislate an ideal scheme for social happiness and per- lection, by compelling fraternities and social societies to accept any person, of color, creed, or race. You may put into effect laws against bias, and stop discrimination along certain lines, but you cannot enforce it with any degree of jus tice.
 The bias bill in relation to New York state political life to an ex- tent is satisfied, because five ad- visory officials, are to be appointed at $l0.0o0 each, and no end of as- sistants, advisors, clerks, stenog- raphers, inspectors and what not to chase bias practitioners across the state. The pressure groups were mostly from within the confines of New York City area, and the advo- cates of anti-discrimination are very efficient, to discriminate. It is practiced by every church social group, fraternity lodges, national guard, labor unions and will con- tinue. Political clubs are alive with prejudices, and their right is not to be questioned, presume. As preju- dices and bias, in Waterbury it is said you cannot secure a position in the municipal palace, the Bron-

Good Faith

The Security Conference convened III an atmosphere of sad disagreement. There were the unsettled question whether Moscow's puppet Lublin Com mittee could represent Poland; the Soviet demand for three Assembly votes; MT. Molotov's sharp objection to Secretary Stettinius as permanent chairman.
 Of these, only the Lublin Committee item possesses major significance in It's own right. The others served chiefly to highlight what has become dlSconcert- ingly evident as time went on, that Mos cows definition of cooperation" is "fol- low the Soviet leader"
 Neither the machinery of the Confer ence nor even the machinery of the pro- posed new League is going to determine whether peace, or World War III, is just around the corner. The worlds future depends upon the willingness of all na- tions, great and small, to collaborate with mutual respect and trust. As the Sovlet's controlled press put it well, though refer ring only to the smaller nations, the inn portant thing is that all peoples shall prove willing to "bring their national aims and interests into harmony with the interests of all the peace-loving powers
 xG IS IIOL USCduSc NuoSld 1dNOlo ol1C AeAo lin Committee, or wants the Ukraine and White Russia to have seats in the Assem- bly,, or prefers four co-chairmen for the conference instead of one chairman, that is disturbing. Nor does it seem reason able for a moment that Premier Stalin considers any or all of these things trans cendant.
 The danger comes from Russia's in- @stence upon making the rules as she pleases, usually without consultation even with the other great powers, and leaving it to the rest of the world to take those rules or leave them-or just what do we think we can do about it?
 Even when there is consultation and agreement as there was at the Crimea Conference about revision of the Lublin Committee, Moscow cynically ignores the minute concession she has promised to make in return for our much greater waivers.
 No sincere advocate of world peace through international organization will worry unduly about whatever machinery may come out of San Francisco provided 1t is designed by the frank, trustful sin cere cooperation of the nations repre- sented there.
 On the other hand, the most naive advocate of such international collabora- ton can not have the slightest faith in any charter, however perfect it may look on paper, that is dictated by one distrust- ful great power and accepted by the others under what amounts to dureSs.

The pro-DeValera Derry Journal thinks that the Honorable Winston Churchill was a bit extreme and bitter in his de- nouncement last Sunday when he criti- cized Ireland's neutrality in radio speech. The nationalist newspaper did not agree, apparently, that Ireland had something to be ashamed of. There have been manyp repercussions since the Prime Ministers speech, which, judged by his utterances and tone, seemed to express pent-up feeling in this regard. All of this, the neutrality, is matter of opinion.

Criminals at Large

There was something sinister as we'll as disgusting in the piouS mouthings of the Nazi Foreign Minister von Krosigk in his message to the German people after the surrender.
 "In our nation justice shall be the supreme law and guiding principle he oaid. s'We must also recognize law as the basis of all relations between the na- tons. .. Respect for concluded treaties will be as sacred as the aim of our nation to belong to the European family of na- tionS."
 It is almost more than stomach can bear to read such statements of deathbed repentance from member of the most savage and dishonorable gang of crim- inals that Europe has known in centuries, q gang to whom justice, laws and treaties meant less than nothing.
 z No one among the victors is going to believe Krosigk, of course. Not now, at any rate. The danger lies in future years, when Allied occupation may have been Telaxed or withdrawn. The job of polio nng promises to be complex and difficult. dt also promises to be dull and thankleSs. Any appearance of hypocritical respecta- hility might be deceptive.

BEWARE THE QUACK IN ETHICAL CLOTHING

There is a great deal of misun- derstanding and confusion con- corning the significance of enlarg- ed tonsils in children and infect ed tonsils and so-called focal ln- lection in adolescents and adults. Much of this misunderstanding and confusion is shared by physicians. For instance. I quote from metro politan health commissioner off, cial advice to the public:
 Enlarged tonsils were found in
 444O of 11,851 school children ex-
 amined. This does not mean that
 4.44O operations for the removal
 of tonsils were required, but it
 does mean that many of these
 children require operation, while
 every child having them was
 more or less handicapped by this
 focus of infection pouring poison
 into his system at an age when
 all the reserve of his energy is
 required for growth and the &C.,
 uuirement of knowledge"
 That piece as asininity was &C., tually offered to the public in the community where the eniminet health commissioner is an authority and no medical practitioner in that community so much as raised an eyebrow about it. It goes to show, I believe, just how sadly at sea, uninformed and confused the putative "authoritieS" are about 1t.
 Most healthy children have 'en- larged'' tonsils, especially in the late winter and early spring, and there is no good reason to regard this as unfavorable to the child's health unless the tonsilS and/or adenoids are so enlarged that they obstruct breathing (through the nose) or impair the hearing. Only when mouth breathing or notice able deafness determined by care- full tests by the physician) warrant it. is removal of tonsils and/or adenoids necessary, in my opinion.
 From the characteristic teaching of the metropolitan health commis- sioner, quoted above, it is obvious that the doctor shares a half baked notion which too many doc- tors have-that enlarged tonsils are infected. This notion, say, is asinine.
 That many putatively competent physicians, not only general prac- titioners but brass nose and throat specialists entertain the absurd no- ton that lymphoid tissue Gin ton sils or adenoid body) is patholoei- cal or abnormal and ought to be removed is evident in the attitude they take in regard to the diather- my (electro coagulation) method of treating enlarged or infected tonsils
