Curing" a Labor. Shortage
(New York Times)


 Representatives of organized labor are contendng that national service act is unnecessary and that the shortage in manpower be made up by other means One suggestion that is put forward by the legislative representative of the AFL is that labor shortages are caused principally by frozen wage levels in certain plants and that the way to cure them is to smash the wage ceilings. Abandoning wage cei- ings would undoubtedly affect the distribution of labor in various lines It would not add to the total amount of labor It would be accompanied, moreover, by breaking of the price ceilings and by general imitation.
 Spokesmen for the AFL now declare that wage increases in plants where greater production is needed would have significant irIflationa1y effect because they would involve{ few plants, and, in the man, products bought by the Government That we could smash the wage ceilings plants and still hold them in others is apolitical Illusion To argue, more over that such wage increases would be -inflation ary because confined to products bought by the GOV ernment overlooks the that the nflatonary gap would be increased The Government would pay more for conduc s the war without any corresponding increase in it's tax revenues The plan would dis tribute more civilian purchasing power to force up the prices of civilian goods
 Many of the labor spokesmen who now argue that the compulsions of service act are unnecessary are precisely those who have opposed putting into effect voluntary means of increasing production with the existing manpower. One of these is an increase of hours But through the retention of the penalty payments provided by the Wage-Hour Law, the aver age number of hours worked per per week on the latest Department of Labor figures IS 456. 1hlS IS much shorter than the work week not only of our enemies Japan and Germany but of allies, Russia and Great Britain We still retain also, through the insistence of these labor leaders, substantial part of the make-Work rules and featherbed practices prevailed before entrance into the war

CANCER RESEARCH

Under the chairmanship of Eric A. Johnston, the new executive council of the American Cancer Society is to raise at least 5OO00O0 which is to be expended on research There need of both this fund and this work Though not enough money is contributed to hospitals even for the of those who have been stricken with cancer still less goes to the laboratories to which we must look before can speak of having conquered an affction which is now surpassed only by diseases the heart and cireulatory system as cause of death.
 What comnlends the program of the American Society is the purpose and direction that will be given to cancer research The genetcsts who concern them selves only with what looks like the inheritance Of tumors know nothing of chemistry, and the chemists who have discovered scores of producing com- pounds think in terms of inanimate matter instead of living bodies The pathologists are largely histor ians-pessimists who appraise every new announce ment in terms of past failures As for the physicists who experiment. with X-rays, radium and retroactive salts they hardly understand what the genetcsts and pathologistS are talking about These experts i dif ferent fields should obviously be brought together so that they may work team It is precisely this that the American Society for Cancer will undertake, Ii

the meeting which was held under the auspices of it's director at Bar Harbor last September what we think it does.
 Cancer has to be studied not disease but as growth The very> problem of life is involved, for which reason a specialist working individuast in narrow field, cannot hope to solve it all by himself.
 When the public realizes that about 600,000 Am ericans are now suffering from and that 165 GOO of these will die this year that one in seven or eight dies of cancer and that, if this ratio con- tnues 17000000 Americans who are now alive will succumb to some abnormal growth, the urgency of systematic research will sink in Health drives aimed at diseases that far fewer deaths than does cancer raised last year S1000000 to $200000o each The war campaign against cancer met with response of only $7500O0 This discrepancy speaks for itself. II means that the public is not yet aware of cancers significance The population is aging thanks to the lowered mortality in early life and because 1t IS aging systematic cancer research is more than ever essential

Walter Reed General Hospital III Washington as the finest ln the country. hundreds of servlcemen come out severely critical, except of the actual surgery performed.
 Head of Walter Reed is 64-year- old Mai. Gen. Shelly U. Marietta, Gen. Pershing's close friend and personal physician. Gen. Marietta is a renowned doctor, but not so strong as an administrator, with the result that the hospital morale is extremely low, especially among enlisted men.
 One failing is that the Army's vaunted rehabilitation program has never been properly installed at Walter Reed. The only serious at tempt at rehabilitating veterans IS for men who are to remain in the service. Those scheduled for dis charge are practically ignored.
 One result is that war attendants are doing a thriving business sell ing liquor at from five to $l5 a quart. Visitors have often noted that the ent-appearing pitch CTS alongside hospital cots contain liquid much stronger than coca cola, while nurses have been known to go through ward distributing ice cubes.
 ] Recently the men in Ward 32, most of them in traction splints which require absolute quiet, drank so much and became so noisy that an MP appeared to restore order and was beaten up by the pati- ents. Several patients were set back several weeks in their recovery as 8 result of leaving their cots to jump on the MP
 At the Forest Glen Convalescent Home, under Walter Reed admin istration, the situation is perhaps worse. Most of the GIs here are able to get out and visit Washing ton. Glasses in mathematics. lan- guage and other academic subjects are offered by volunteer teachers but no attempt is made to give the men psychological tests to aid them III choosing a postwar trade ol profession.
 The Army Morale Service is per mitted to work at Forest Glen only at the invitation of the Medica Corps. Last summer a group o1 psychologists from the Morale Ser. vice prepared an analysis of tht hospitals needs and recommended a reorganization. This group wa ordered overseas before it's report was completed and the report never has been finished.

 Sir PauPs tender concern for the Japanese Monarch brought a tart reply from Dr. Hu Shin, former Chinese Ambassador to the United States, who suggested that Hiro- hito be exiled to London along with the other discredited mon archs."
 Other United Nations delegates also were vigorously opposed to the British policy of appeasing the Emperor. Most significant of all was the position of the British do- minions Canada, Australia and New Zealand-which split with the delegation from the British Isles itself. The Canadians demanded a complete house-cleaning in Japan and the dominion delegates from down under" agreed with them.
 NOTE-United States delegates at the Pacific conference included Admiral Thomas Hart, former Commander of the Asiatic Fleet; John Garter Vincent, chief of the State Departments Chinese Divi- sion; and Congresswoman Frances Bolton of Cleveland.

 New York's Ex-Lieutenant-Go Gov ernor, Charles Poletti, has been doing an Al job in Italy. But at first he got many a cold shoulder from Italians before somebody tipped him off to change the form of the proclamations he issued as Military Commissioner in Rome.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpeW
SATURDAY.. FEBRUARY 3

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY $
 Promising aspects dominate today which should bring news of de- cisive movement of armies and ships.
 HEART AND HOME: AS women leave war plants they will take back to housekeeping efficient methods of work that prevail in factories and shops. This year is to be marked by family readjuSt- ments that require the utmost skill and intelligence.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Prosperity will continue through the month. Farmers will sustain losses because of bad weather, but they are under most promising aspects. Methods profitable in big business will aid agriculture, which will attract many returning soldiers.
 z NATIONAL ISSUES: Return Of Japanese to the Pacific Coast is to arouse stubborn prejudices due to Pearl Harbor treachery. An evil omen is seen as likely to prestige trouble
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Leaves and furloughs for our men in the Services should be general in the next few weeks, even though the stars indicate fierce fighting on many fronts. Again there is warn ing that war in the Pacific will be long drawn out.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good luck. Plans may be pursued with confidence of success.
 Children. born on this day pro- bably will be talented and popular a high order of general intelli- gence is indicated

Wood. Fortunately the bomb was dud, but it crushed his legs, and they were immediately amputated well above the knee
 Wood has been in Washington Tor some weeks, with his father and mother, at the British Embassy. Incidentally his brother Peter was killed in action, and the third Halifax son, Major Charles Wood, heir to the title of Halifax, is a member of Parliament, now serving on active duty with the British Army
 The other day-an icy day in Washington young Wood was being taken to the conyalescent wing of Walter Reed Hospital, just outside of Washington not for treatment, but to talk to conval- escent veterans. He has artificial limbs, and has mastered the diff cult business of walking.
 But his car got stuck on an icy hill leading to the hospital. It Wood wanted to get to the hospital to keep his engagement with the American soldiers. So he climbed cut of the car, and hobbled up the icy hill with the help of his cane He reached the hospital and gave his talk to the soldiers.

 The gasoline situation will con- tinue to be critical for months to come, but it is expected merely to curtail transportation, not elimin- ate it altogether, as the other fac- tors will.
 The answer, according to H. J.

Otherwise, more cars will go out of circulation in the next 12 months than the whole three years since Pearl Har- bor
