large, servicemen who came from
homes and churches where they
received good moral and religious
training in childhood and youth
acquitted themselves as good soldiers
of God and country and returned
to their homes as workman that
needeth not to be ashamed"
A tragedy of today is that in so
many homes children are not being
trained in the way they should go,
and hence we have delinquency and
crime. Says.J. Edgar Hoover: "The
so-called postwar crime wave is no
longer possibility. 1t is reality.
- The rising tide of juvenile
delinquency is apparent when we
compare last years arrests with those
during prewar years. In l945, more
persons of II years were arrested
than in any other group and total
of 81 per cent of all persons arrested
were under 81 years of age"
Delinquents are not coming from
good homes They are coming from
homes where parents are delinquent.
From loveless, goddess and broken
homes proceeds the never ending line
of juvenile delinquents. They are not
coming from Sunday schools and
churches and synagogues, nor from
the youth clubs of the YMCA. They
are not coming from the Boy Scouts
of America nor from the Girl Scouts
nor the Junior police organizations.
All these groups and others, includ-
ing the Boys Clubs of America, have
accomplished much; but in spite OF
all the good work that is being done
there still is predominately more OF
delinquency in our country than dur
ing prewar years.

Struteqic Antarctic

1t is only natural that the Nayys
revival of interest in what Admiral
Byrd has described as the strategic
Antarctic" should be linked with de-
velopments of an atomic era of war
fare. Long before World War II and
the emergence of nuclear flssion as
a revolutionary source of military
power, Admiral Byrd had stressed
the potential Importance of the vast
South Polar continent in military
planning. At that time, however,
he had in mind possible use of the
bleak area as a base for operations
primarily in event of destruction of
the Panama Canal.
Now comes the possibility that
Antarctica may be the source OF new
and extensive supplies of uranium,
the radioactive mineral whose ex-
ploding atoms made possible the
atomic bomb. The exact nature and
extent of the mineral storehouse
which lies beneath the snow and
ice OF Antarctica are as yet unknown,
but Admiral Byrd has reported his
belief that great geological wealth
is hidden there.
1t is apparently with a view to
exploring this natural cache OF min
erals and of stalking Americas claim
to any important discoveries that
Admiral Byrd is organizing a new
Navy sponsored expedition to Little
America, his base OF earlier aerial
and land explorations down under"
The secrecy with which preliminary
arrangements for the undertaking
have been surrounded lends support
to the theory that an epochal inter-
national race for prior claims may
be in the making. This secrecy has
been matched only by the reticence
with which the Navy has discussed
Admiral Byrd's special wartime serv-
ices, which had to do largely with
mysterious surveys in the Southern
Hemisphere. The admiral only last

problem. Consider for example the
Boy Scouts of America and the Girl
Scouts Few, II any, will take issue
with the statement that If all our
boys and girls of Scout age were
members OF Scout troops, under
competent leadership, we would have
no delinquency problem. While these
organizations are highly successful,
they are handicapped because they
need more help. They need the in
terest of more parents and of all
good citizens They need thousands
more OF trained leaders and more
funds to provide adequate facilities
Provide these needs and the men,
bership in Scout organizations
throughout the country, including
localities where they are most needed,
would double and treble in less than
a year. The same may be said Of
other character organizations that
train children and youth in the way
they should go. They are not re-
ceiving the help necessary for the
best results.
Are the churches doing their part?

that the churches go forward united

law enforcement are necessary but
they do not eliminate the source Of
evil.

stagger the imagination, even the

Brituin's S Monpower Problem

Britain's imperative need for
more effective use OF its limited sup
ply of manpower has. just been
emphasized by two pronouncements
by Prime Minister Attlee. The first
was an emphatic warning to trade
union leaders; the second, cabinet
decision to lay before Parliament a
bill for permanent military conscrip-
ton combined with compulsory
active reserve. Offhand, the con-
nection between these two develop
ments may not seem apparent. Yet
they are really both aspects of the
same basic problem.
AS the inescapable legacy of war
for bare survival. Britain is faced
with the simultaneous necessities of
intensifying its export trade, satisfy
ing starved home market, putting
through a radical program of eco
nomic and social reform, and safe
guarding its imperial position in
perilous world. Each of those four
redoubtable needs requires adequate
manpower; and that requirement in
turn implies that such manpower
possess the requisite training and
function at top efficiency.
The labor aspect of the problem
was stressed when MIR. Attlee told the
trade union leaders that unless
British labor works harder and pro-
duces more, the labor governments
entire program for social improve
ment and economic development
may be endangered. The unpleasant
fact Is that the current slump in
man-hour productivity seems less a
temporary postwar phenomenon
than chronic factor. BY and large,
the British workingman wants an
easier life, better pay, shorter hours,
and increased social services. Fur
thermore, he clings to established
union practices which make for re-
striction of output, feather bed
ding" and "go slow" methods Attlee
pointed out that such an attitude
was both unjuStifiable under pres
ent conditions and self defeating of
labor's larger aims and aspirations.
1t is at this point that compulsory
military service enters the picture
The government believes that ma
tional and imperial security requires
a permanent peacetime draft fo-
eighteen months military service
beginning at eighteen years, with
five years thereafter in the active
Reserve. Such CONSUMPTION means, of
course, taking large annual slice
out of the Nations manpower, there
by intensifying the labor stringency
Misunderstanding heightened pro-
ductivity and efficiency of all labor.
The government anticipates wide
spread discomfort with and opposi-
ton to its proposals. But it sees no
alternative, and it is therefore ap-
pealing to labor leadership and en-
deavoring to educate public opinion
to. the hard realities of Britain's

Albanian Arrogance

Ine state Department. WITH
drawal of our informal mission in
Albania ends even provisional recog-
milton of the regime headed by
Enver Hoxha, thereby aligning this
country with Britain, which broke
off diplomatic contact with Albania
last spring. The reason then given
by the London Foreign Office was
the "unfriendly and unco-operative"
attitude of the Hoxha regime. The
text of the American note presented
to the Albanian government by our
representative at Tirana before his
departure reveals similar state of
affairs, notably a refusal to recog-
nize the validity of existing treaties,
conventions and arrangements be-
tween Albania and the United States.
Albania seems to be qualifying
itself for the invidious distinction of
becoming the problem child" of the
Balkans. Taken by itself, the ag-
gressive arrogance of the pint-size
dictator, Enver Hoxha, and his fol-
lowers would matter little because
Albania is tiny country with scant
intrinsic power to disturb the in
ternational situation. Its gravity is
due to the fact that, from the mo-
ment when Hoxha seized power in
the chaotic confusion attending the
close of the late war, he has obvi-
ously been the tool of Marshal Tito,
the dictator of YugoSlavia, who, in
turn, is as obviously a satellite of
Moscow. During the past year Al
bania has become an armed camp,
it's forces equipped and trained by
Yugoslav and Soviet agents. In this
provocative role, it has engaged in
informal hostilitieS with Greece and
has arrogated control over the mar
row straits between the Albanian
coast and the Greek island of Corfu.
ALI this has bearing on the eff
forts of Moscow and its satellites to
get Albania admitted to membership
in the United Nations. When the
matter first arose, some months ago,
it got mixed up. with the concurrent
applications of Fire, the Mongolian
Peoples Republic, Portugal and
Trans-Jordan, the upshot being the
vetoing of all Ave applications by
the conflicting oppositions Of the
Soviet bloc and the western powers
The "unfriendly and nco-operative"
attitude of the Hoxha regime sug-
gests that the case of Albania be
considered on its merits-or, rather,
it's demerits- aside from other men,
bership applications to U. N. It's
actions do not indicate fitness for
responsible participation in world
organization dedicated to interna-
tional peace, security and justice.

Reussurinq the World

|
General Assembly of the United
Nations, Senator Vandenberg's un-
equivocal statement on American
foreign policy should do much to
dispel any fear abroad that that
policy now faces a fundamental
change as a result of last Tuesdays
fa--reaching Republican congress
sional victory.
AS it stands today, the policy is
the product of excellent bipartisan
cooperation. Rejecting the convic-
tions of the overwhelming majority
of the American people, its chief
feature is that it unqualifiedly COM
mits the United States to the prin-
ciple and practice of world co-opera-
ton. TO this end, by virtually
unanimous Senate vote, we have
assumed a leading role in the United
Nations, whose founding was largely
inspired by us and whose permanent
home Is to be in our own country.
There is thus no comparison be-
tween the American atmosphere
after the First World War and the
American atmosphere today. Isola-
tionism Is dead. AS far as interna-
tional collaboration is concerned,
Tuesdays Republican sweep Gears
no resemblance at all to what hap
pened in 1918 and 1920. In Senator
Vandenberg's words, II reassert,
with whatever authority possess,
that, regardless of what political
regime sits in Washington" peoples
and governments everywhere "can
count upon the whole hearted CO.
operation of the Government of the
United States in striving, through
the United Nations, for a system OF
mutual defense against aggression
and for organized peace-with-
justice In a better, safer world"
It need hardly be added, of course,
that Senator Vandenberg speaks
with excellent authority. His state
melt followed a long consultation
with Secretary of State Byrnes, with
whom he has played key part in
formulating a genuinely bipartisan
approach to world affairs. More
important still, it is the statement
of a highly influential Republican
who will almost certainly become
chairman of the powerful Senate
Foreign Relations Committee when
the new Congress convenes.
Here in America, we have taken
it more or less for granted that the
election returns will have no basic
effect ON our commitment to world
/ cooperation. Elsewhere, however,
there has been anxious speculation
to tie contrary, in part because the
Republicans, in recent years, have
been generally hostile to such meas
ures as reciprocal trade and the
loan to BIitain-a fact suggesting
that they may tend to revise the
r,et-,ods the Democratic administra-
ton has used in implementing our
international action.
~ This is a possibility meriting crit
ical attention, but its significance
is altogether overshadowed by the
fact that the Nation as a whole
irrespective OF methods and political
parties-is unalterably united be-
hind the basic policy of seeking
just and lasting peace through the
fullest possible world collaboration.
Senator Vandenberg's timely and
vigorous reaffirmation of this point
ought to reassure all doubters abroad
