The Presidents statement was
handed 10 Garrison while he was
discussing the advisabllity OF ad-
journing until after Christmas.
Reuther Immediately proposed
that the board reconvene today
and conduct the meeting in ac-
cordance with the Presidents
stated policies.
Garrison admitted that any
long adjournment pending a de-
CiSion on something the President
had already decided would be
foolish. AT his suggestion today s
session is being held.
Reuiher asked that something
he done TO iron out local union
disputes and after much wran-
Cling il was agreed that the union
and corporation would meet today
TO try and map out some method
whereby this could be done.
Wilson then read statement

TIGHE'S STORY

Tighe claimed that Macarthur
turned down a Russian request
10 send an entire Soviet army 10
Japan and would permit them 20
send only one Soviet division.
The radio correspondent also
said that Macarthur offered 10
allow Russian troops to take part
in the occupation of Kyushu but
that Moscow insisted that Soviet
troops occupy Hokkaido, the Jap
anese island nearest to Russian
holdings.
In his denial Of Tighe's report,
Macarthur said;

REBELLION blanks
A presidential platform. opposing

ton hands down right now.
Not since the war began have l
heard so much rebellion against
the blanks we must fill in to get
gasoline. tires, fuel oil, sugar,
shoes. meat, canned goods-and to
pay our income tax.
think the people of this
country realize the need for
pen-and-paper control over our
lives during wartime, but lot
of us feel that the thing has
been carried too far that there
is no necessity for answering
the same questions dozens of
different times that lot of the
questions don't apply to our
Individual situations, and that
there ought to be some simple
way for controls to be execut-
ed without our getting writer's
cramp.
OF course the individual prob
lens along this line are nothing
compared with that of the small
business organization. Any busi-
ness owner who isn't an expert ac-
countant or lawyer, or doesn't
have one working for him, is pro-
badly violating the regulations
most every time he handles a tran
saction. If it still holds that zig
norance of the law is no excuse
it seems quite likely that most OF
us will soon be living in jails.
A few nights ago l spent an eve

In the first place, we weren't
particularly anxious to have any
extra sugar But we do happen to
have a number of fruit trees and,
in spite of asking the neighbors to
help themselves, there is always a
lot of fruit left over when they get
through. Therefore, because of the
food shortage, we felt that it was
the patriotic thing to do to pre-
sure all of that excess fruit.
That's how we happened to get
into the four-page sugar question
naire. After spending practically
an hour trying to make heads or
tails of the wording of some of the
questions, trying to remember how
much sugar we used last year, try
ing to estimate how much preserv-
ing We might do this year, etc, we

PATRIOTISM penalties
In the last war most controls
over scarce products were
successfully handled by volun-
tary appeals to patriotism. In
this war, however, the search
ties have been so much great
er and the problems so COM
plicated that it was, and still
is, necessary for the govern
ment to issue regulations and
penalties.
But ! wonder if the need for
mandatory regulations hasn't
done a good deal to cut down
on our patriotism. During the
last war the people took on
the job of enforcement as a
patriotic duty. WouId-be VIOLA
tors of government requests
were kept in line by their fear
of stirring up the wrath of
their patriotic neighbors--
which was a much more po-
tent reason for good behavior
than is the fear of legal penal
ties.
AS it is today, there are far too
many people who feel no guilt over
their black market purchases, who
boast openly of how they have cir
cumvented war regulations and
who. if they do comply with the
law, do so because of compulsion
rather than for the sake of patri-
otic cooperation.
The very foundation of our coun-
try being a worship of freedom,
Americans naturally wriggle and
squirm under the countless regula-
tions which we now meet at every
turn. The quicker we can replace
government forms, government
edicts and government enforcement
by appeals to good, old-fashioned
patriotism the better off our coun-
try will be.
