Plantations No Help

The retaking of some of our
old rubber plantations in the
Pacific is helpful but not cheer
ing. Even if the larger ones
were recaptured, the rubber
manufacturers do not believe
that sufficient yields could be
gotten. for several years.
The )situation is not TOO bad
as yet. But the warmer
weather. with its devastating
effects on synthetic tires and
tubes, is feared this year above
all else by the rubber men. In
other words, the headaches al
ready felt will multiply as the
temperatures 60 up.
Right now, the chuck holes
left by the hard winter in this
area is the biggest enemy of
tires. They are just deep and
wide enough to damage the
cords.

What's New
In Business
Independent Group
Should Probe Strikes /.
BY WARD SCHULTZ

Detroit is swallowing a new
batch of labor trouble and
strikes and it's becoming in
creasingly difficult to digest.
Is there any permanent solu-
ton?
The thought strikes me that
perhaps the real reason these
things 60 on and on is that Joe
Public never really knows where
10 place the blame.
The newSpapers-and prop
erly so-can only report the
facts as they find them. They
endeavor to get both sides of
the story but are not expected
to jump at conclusions.
In fact. 1t Is virtually impos-
sible for a reporter to determine
whether company spokesman
is accurate when he says that
the men were loafing on a cer-
tain job, or 10 find out If the
union is correct in saying that
the company is using batting
tactics
But why not an independent
commission, inves sted with
proper powers, which could
probe these strikes and make
publ. its findings.
l would wager that a very
small minority of the strikes
are due either TO union vicious
ness or company batting. and
that the vast majority result
from a combination of bull
headedness on boti sides.
In any event, if either group
honestly feels that it is right.
it can have no objection to an
impartial investigation of the
facts and subsequent public
disclosure

For Separation Of Courts

At the request of the Parent
Teacher Council. the Committee of
100 and the Womens Citizens
League, Mayor William T. wilkins
OF Alexandria has telegraphed State
Senator Andrew w. Clarke and Del
egate W. Selden Washington, re-
minding them of City Council pc
tition in February. 1914, which asked
them to introduce legislation to sep
arate the city's Juvenile Court from
the Police Court.
Mrs. Jameson E. Holway, chair
man of the Juvenile Protection
Committee of the PTA,. said that
she. with representatives of the other
interested groups, had called on
Mayor Wilkins and asked him to
seek the separation during the spe-
cial session of the Legislature.
Following the City Councils ac-
tion in 1914, Mr. Washington intro
duced legislation which passed the
House. When the resolution reached
the Senate, Mr.. Clarke added an
amendment to make the position Of
juvenile judge elective, but the
House failed to agree on the change
and the bill automatically was
killed.
