A SERIOUS BoTTLENECK
(New York sun)


 Letters from troops stationed in the Far Pacific, especially those in China and Korea, harp on two ma jor grievances, poor food and tre- mendous delay in mail. The con- plaints are so persistent that they cannot be written of as idle grip ing. Why the food should be bad is not apparent, but 1t is obvious where trouble with the mail ori- ginates. At present, news dis patches say, there are only six mechanics at Guam to service all flights of the Army Transport Com mand, which moves all air mail between Korea and Japan and this country. Because of this. present operations are limited to one flight daily each way. This, Army postal officials admit, is totally inadequate to keep the mail moving. There are plenty of planes but, under the program of rapid demobilization nL mechanics to service them. The shortage of mechanics is not pe- culiar to Guam. A man does not acquire skill in servicing aircraft overnight and throughout the Army Air Forces competition is high fol those veteran craftsmen who re- main in uniform. But when, as al Guam, a postal bottleneck for g huge area has developed special ef- forts to relieve 1t are in order.

Two Sides to Picture By 7homns Stokes

have been many disputes settled without strikes, without publicity, and without any credit to the parties involved for getting together themselves aound a table contribution was the help of the United States Cancellation Service of the Labor Department here.
 The record for January is interesting.
 There were ,I92 labor-management cases brought to the attention officially of the Consolidation Service Of these 653 were settled before strike vote was taken and 35S were settled in the time between strike vote and the date set for the strike total of l74 were settled after strike had occurred In 50 cases the disputes went to arbitrators for settlement In the other cases the Cancellation Service was called in to help in other matters as advisers on workloadS, etc.
 In the past week there have been 62 new strikes involving 27OO0 workers, and during the week Al disputes involving 15O00 workers have been settled, the Cancellation Service report shows.
 In his annual message to Congress on January 21 President Truman cited the record up to that time since VJ-Day.
 '"The United States Cancellation Service since VJ-ay has settled over 5000 disputes affecting over 1900 GOO workers without strike threat and has assisted in settling about 300 disputes where strikes were threatened which involved about 5OOOOO work ers" the President reported. Only workers directly might have been affected indirectly, included in these estimates
 Many of these adjustments have occurred in key industries and would have seemed to us n1aor crises if they had not been settled peaceably.'
 This sort of thing goes on quietly, day by day, It is worth noting. The good sense of the American people still exhibits itself. It wise for President Truman to direct attention to this other and bright CT, side of the picture

 Of particular interest to the Germans is, of course, the section which deals with the history of democratic traditions in Germany The failure of the Weimar Republic, Germanys place in the world and the United Nations Organizations promise for the future are discussed
 After the lectures, the sessions are broken up into groups of 50 for discussion. Here the arguing gets hot and heavy for the prisoners arc encouraged to exercise full freedom of speech to ask each other searching questions and to answer them.
 Tn session the League of Nations the men contribute out of their own knowledge of conditions in Europe, analyses of such engrOssing problems as what happened when Italy invaded Ethiopia, when Germany invaded the Rhineland, and when civil war broke out in Spain, and why the League failed.
 What we have tried to do is set up an atnos- phere in which the Germans have final chance to A. W. Smith of Northwestern University. who is in charge of the Fort Eustis school
 How much of America has rubbed off and soaked in will take years to tell. But few stories give some indication. Thousands of the prisoners have asked how they could immigrate to America.
 When the German atrocity films were shown where violent Nazs segregated, many were con- verted, and some confessed they were ashamed to look their guards in the face
 When President Roosevelt died, 800 P.O.W.'s at a camp in Arizona signed message of coincidence to Mrs. Roosevelt and the nation.
 One prisoner at Fort Eustis gave every man in his discussion group his name and address for the purpose of keeping the group united to work for democracy in Germany after they were liberated. A barbed-wire alumni association may be in the making.

 emigration 10000 hand-picked, tried and tested anti-Nazi prisoners of war are being given one week short in democracy at Fort Eusts, near Norfolk, Va. They are put through the school in weekly groups of 2OO0 After their graduation behind barbed wire they are shipped to port of embarka- ton and in six weeks they are home, free men once again.
 Incidentally, the prisoners are permitted to buy six cartons of cigarets apiece before they leave their own graduation present to themselves. to last them during their final six weeks of captivity.
 In planning this short course in democracy no effort has been made to Americanize the Germans, says Aeutenant-Colonel Edward Davison, head of the prisoner of special projects division Instead, he says the accent has been put on educating the Germans about America and about what really hap pened in their own country.
 There are two big lessons. The first is how de- mocracy works; the second is the fact that in a democracy every individual must take some responsi- bility to make 1t work. sss
 The course of instruction which the German PO.W's are put through at Fort EllstiS is some thing which 1t would hurt no American citizen to go through as a refresher in these trying times.

A Job for MT. Hoover

Herbert Hoover is not the most popular man in the United States But however his political views may be garded few quarrel with President Truman for sending his only living predecessor in the White House to Europe's food needs.
 In World War Mr. Hoover did excellent job war time food administrator ad after the armstce carried out the Allied relief programs in Europe During World War II his experience not utilized and he abored vainy to sade the western Allies that they should at least make attempt to food through the hungry people of occupied countries.
 Mr. Hoover's specific job will be to weigh the relief quirements of the various countries seeking aid It may be hoped that from his experience and humanitarian instincts there will also wise suggestions for speeding up present relief program which, at the mo- ment seems bungled and inadequate, well as beated.

KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY
(New York world d-Telegram

:" +(NeW York World-Telegram
 The United States has shifted to a Iirmer foreign policy in the face of postwar world troubles. Secretary of State Byrnes, following similar blunt statements by Sen. Vanden- berg and John Foster Dulles on re- turning from the United Nations conference, has challenged Russian violations of the charter and of treaties. Congressional and public comment leaves no doubt that our country favors this policy.
 But the charter cannot be saved by words. It must be backed by adequate military force, as therein provided. We have promised to con- tribute our share of that force. At the present rate, however, there is serious question whether we shall have the troops to meet the rather large quotas which Russia is said to be planning. Meanwhile our fail- ure to replace with a postwar army and rapidly demobilizing veterans has weakened us in world councils.
 The America which applauded Secretary ByrneS' vigorous speech on foreign policy should note his less spublicized statement in the same speech on the need of military strength, and Secretary Patterson's warming at the same meeting. The Secretary of War said the surest way of keeping out of war was to adopt these basic features of mih- tary policy: CD A single unified de- fense department; CD Universal military training on a civilian basis; (3) An adequate National Guard; and (D A sustained program of scientific research and development.
 While other world powers are keeping their powder dry, We must do the same. That is essential to save, the United Nations, and for our own security.

HEADACHES IN SETTLEMENT
 OF TELEPHONE STRIKE
(springfieId DaiIy Newsl

Rejoicing over the eleventh hour settlement of the impending tele- phone strike may well be tempered with the sober thought that there will be headaches afterward Of course there can be no question about the good fortune of the tele- phone workers in getting large pay raises, provided it does not all have to go into increased living costs. That is their problem and a proh- lem for the entire country, it may be assumed. Where the public comes in concerns the headaches which will arrive presumably when the telephone bills are raised.

ALL AT SEA
By Rev. Glen Warner

Text: Matthew; l4:23-33
One of my prize pictures taken
aboard ship is that of sailor with
a small yellow bird perched on his
cap. We were "headed in" after a
run in the Atlantic and d strong
wind was blowing off shore. Appar-
emily the little creature was so cX-
hausted at being blown to sea that
it chose the nearest place to rest
which happened to be this kindly
sailors cap. He fed it, rested it, then
released it, as we anchored a few
hours later.
Being the ships Chaplain, l
couldn't help but remember another
experience at sea recorded by St.
Matthew. Peter and the other dis
Ciples were in a boat during a
storm at night They were afraid.
Suddenly they saw Jesus walking
on the sea. He spoke to them saying,
''Be of good cheer; it is |; be not
afraid" Peter answered, Lord, If
it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee
upon the waters" and Jesus said,
Come. And Peter went down from
the boat and walked upon the
waters to come to Jesus; and when
lie saw the wind, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried out say
ing, Lord save me" And immed-
lately Jesus stretched forth his hand
and took hold Of him and said. 90
thou of little faith, wherefore didSt
thou doubt"
Some of us lose the point of this
story because we are too scientific
TO believe in this sort of supernat-
ural. The significance of this eXper-
ience is a parable on life. We have
criticized poor Peter for his fears
when he saw the wind. We should
remember that he was the only man
with courage enough to leave the
boat. Many Of us are SO set in our
ways that when a storm comes we
are afraid to leave the conventional
and venture out for Christ. Peter
didn't have to plead nor have a great
long prayer before Jesus would con
sent to aid him. Immediately" the
power of Jesus was there to raise
him
In day when we are unsettled as
d world, it is only natural that we
should have fears, doubts, uncer-
tainties, fear of another war of in
fiation, of scarcities, etc. Peters eX-
perience should be a pattern for US
We must venture for Christ. Oh
course the average person is afraid
to leave the boat of conVentionality
That's one reason they are just
average" people We must make {
Super-human effort to create new
world among men. By asking anc
receiving Christ's help we become
Super men,.
