Thanksgiving, 1916

The Committee on Religious Life
In the Nations Capital has done well
to remind the people OF Washington
that Thanksgiving is day for
prayer as well as for showing graft
tude to Divine Providence. Too
often perhaps has the annual occa-
sion been employed merely in feast
ing and iollification It's purpose,
however, from It's beginning in Mas
sachusetts in 1921 was one OF re-
dedication. Lacking that quality, it
would have little meaning worthy
of notice.
America to a degree not excelled
by any other country realizes that
humanity In 1946 is faced with prob
lens which cannot be solved without
cooperation. The governments of
the great states as well as those Of
the small must learn to work to-
gether for the common benefit of
mankind everywhere. A similar
observation applies with regard to
all classes and conditions of human
beings within the several national
communities. 1t specifically Just
now is plain that the costly struggle
between capital and labor must not
be allowed to continue uncorrected,
its elementary issues be permitted to
remain unadjusted. No society at
odds with itself can hope to deserve
the blessing of God. 1t seems obvious
that there never can be justice and
freedom, fellowship and peace in the
world at large until individuals de-
velop within themselves desire for
those blessings more compelling
than any other wish.
Religion affords people assistance
In the quest for the ideal. That is
why Thanksgiving should be not
only an occasion for expressing
appreciation for benefactions already
enjoyed but likewise an occasion for
pledging devotion anew. Prayer is
another word for promise. A man
or a woman or a little child self
dedicated to the service of the
Creator of the Universe is neighbor
in the best, the most notably sacred
sense of the phrase. 1t is such a
community that the Committee on
Religious Life seeks to help to build
in Washington and in the Nation
beyond.
One need not mourn too grievously
the many trials of the present mo
ment, If one is ready and anxious to
share in meeting them construc-
lively. Not every problem which
today cries for attention can be
solved instantly. But progress is
feasible in most of them, given only
the faithful and unfaltering will
ingness of people to work with and
for and not against each other. So
Thanksgiving next year may be
brighter than Thanksgiving this
year. And that is a consummation
good neighbors surely may hope for

Cont Stond Criticism?
St. Louis Post Dispatch

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch
A piece called Life of a Monkey"
was denounced by Prayda as "a vulgar
satire (whichl libelously describes Soviet
people as primitive, uncultured. foolish
and having provincial tastes and
morals" The authors and the magazine
which published it have been suspended.
Is satire too rich for Russia?
On the contrary. They are given all
the Mark Twain they want. No one de-
nies them H. L. Mencken. Stain him.
self chuckles over Sinclair Lewis "Bab-
bitt.n Steinbeck, London, Upton Sinclair
are near-heroes. These writers have
used their DDT on America. It's differ
ent when Marxism is involved.
The Russians are wonderful with
telescopes. What would 1t be like If.
Just once in q while, they were also
allowed to look in mirror?

peculiar electoral law, each party
can put up several candidates, the
one getting the most votes being
assigned the whole party poll as
against the candidates OF other
parties.
Another noteworthy aspect OF this
election was the showing made by
the Communists, who for the first
time conducted a campaign and
will make their debut in Parliament
with small delegation. But their
representation will be too small no.
tably to affect the traditional two

Credit for Miners

An Associated Press report from
Charleston, w. Va, to the effect
that some Of the coal mine operators
have been advised by their lawyers
that the granting of credit to strik-
ing miners in the company stores
might constitute a violation OF law
would seem to mark the opening OF
a new phase in grim economic
struggle grim for the miners and
grim for the merchants who serve
them.
A traditional but nonetheless
anomalous aspect of this country's
recurrent coal strikes has been the
spectacle of the coal mine operators
extending credit in their company
stores to their striking miner-em-
ployes. A strike essentially is a test
of economic strength. Ordinarily
the strikers try to wear down the
resistance of employers by shutting
off their profits. And the employers
depend upon hardships attending a
loss OF earnings to induce their
workers to return to their jobs. But
in the coal fields the employers in
practical effect have been assisting
strikes by permitting the striking
miners to buy the things they need
on credit at the company-owned
stores.
In the present strike, however,
with the Government in possession
of the mines and standing In the
shoes of the operators, there is
serious question that this can be
done without running afoul of that
section Of the Smith Connally Act
which forbids the lending of any en-
couragement to strike in any in
dustry which has been taken over
by the Government. Theoretically,
at least, any company store operator,
or any one else who extends credit
to striking miner might become
liable to prosecution under the law.
But as practical matter it is ex-
tremely doubtful that this section of
the law can or will be enforced to
any appreciable extent.
A survey of the coal areas by a re-
porter for the Wall Street Journal
reveals that most merchants in the
coal towns have no plans for aban-
doning the credit practice. In one
mining town store the reporter saw
this sign: "Your credit is as good
now as 1t has been In the past
There probably are several reasons
why 1t would be difficult to deny
credit to the miners. For one thing,
the men who run the stores, COM
pany- owned or otherwise, are friends
of the miners. They will not will
ingly join in an effort to starve out
the strike. Secondly. the credit ar
rangement has been good business
for the merchants. In many of the
towns the miners have been virtually
their only customers and in the past
they have paid up their charges
after the strikes ended. II these
merchants cannot sell to miners they
cannot sell to anybody, with the
result that a shutdown on credit
would hit them almost as hard as
1t would the miners.

The Intent Of Congress
By Berframs Benedict

the REPRESENTATIVES who voted for the
measure was Goldsborough of Maryland,
now the Judge in the case against Lewis
and the Mine Workers. The conference
report on the bill was adopted in both
branches without record votes.
While the bill was before the. House,
Representative Blanten, Democrat, OF
Texas offered an amendment whereby
the provisions on injunctionS or restrair-
ing orders would not apply where the
United States Government is the petit
TONER The amendment was defeated
by vote of I25 to II. But it was re-
jected because Representative La Guar
dia, Republican, of New York called 1t
entirely unnecessary. Pointing to the
definitions contained in the bill, La
Guardia said of it as it stood without
the proposed amendment:
II do not see how in any possible
way the United States can be brought
under the provisions. :
Then Representative James N. Beck OF
Pennsylvania, who had served as So
licitor General OF the United States,
offered an amendment to make the bill
inapplicable to labor disputes involving
the discontinuance of public utility
essential to the welfare, health or lives
Of the public" The Beck amendment
was rejected by vote Of 155 to So, but
again because La Guardia called IT url-
necessary. He said:
sThe present bill refers only to
disputes between employees and EN-
ployer. The amendment brings In
penal provision for which
there IS falreadp adequate law and
which ii IS not intended to repeal BY
the provisions Of this bill. This IS
limited to matters between employ
ers and employees. The public is fully
protected BY penal and other statutes
not contemplated to be repealed by

Community Forests

There are some l6 900 communities
In the United States of 10000 popu-.
lation or less. Yet the town forest
movement has barely gotten under
way in the Nation. A bulletin from
the Forest Service Of the United
States Department OF Agriculture,
Community Forests in Postwar
Planning" stresses the many bene-
fits Of this type Of long-range PLAN
ming and conservation. The first
town forest in the United States,
established in the little town Of
Newington. N. H., In ITO, has
brought economic benefits to the
towns taxpayers for more than two
centuries. In 1910 there were ap-
proximately 5000 woodland areas
owned by cities, towns, counties and
school districts.
In the Forest Service bulletin
George A. Duthie states: "Commu-
nifty forests perform functions which
recommend them for a place in the
planning of the postwar economy in
number of different ways. In the
category Of resource planning they
tie in closely with crop land plan
ming, watershed protection, wildlife,
waste-land use and soil conserva-
ton. They also have a place in
social planning. The sustaining
power of small woodworking in
dustrieS Is demonstrated in in
Vulnerable communities. Munici-
pal forests in Old World countries
have played an important economic
role for several centuries, but the
movement has been slow to catch on
In the United States.
Yet the value Of the forests as
income producers, watershed pro-
tectors, wildlife sanctuaries and as
community recreation areas has
been amply demonstrated. The
some 100000 acres of municipality
owned forest land could be increased
many times with resulting economic
and social benefits. Our civic lead
ers and lay organizations should at
tack the problem vigorously in the
years ahead. A widespread growth
of the community forest movement
should be a part of community
postwar planning.

Quite obviously, such situation is
not to be anticipated with pleasure.
It might fill the Nation with grave
psychological illness and might even
lead the poor dumb mass to rise up
against the Identified Talent. There
is everything to be said, Of course,
for plans that will foster genius by
not letting 1t fade away for want Of
schooling or similar advantages. But
certain potentialities OF the NCITY
proposal seem gruesome enough to
give one the creeps. The average,
citizen will therefore be happy II the
educators try again and think up
something better.

!,
To the Editor of The Star:
notice that Philip Murray recent
ly at the CIO convention made slurring
remarks about coupon clippers and
stockholders" would like to ask him
two questions: What has he done with
the very large salary he has received
these many years? Has he given it all
to poverty stricken laborers, spent 1t in
riotous living, or invested it?
Second, does he believe that the
insurance companies, in particular life
Insurance companies. bury their large
takes like the talents In the Bible, or
are they among the largest coupon
clippers in the United States?
SARAH MORAN.
TO the EDITOR of The star:
Here's one voters solution Of the
strike question:
First jail Mr.. Lewis and others ike
him.
Then enact the following laws:
1. For the formation OF a national
arbitration board for the settlement Of
all capitalization disputes, the findings
OF which to be binding on all concerned
with like penalties for each.
q OUTLAW all strikes and the closed
shop, which are totally un-American
and smack Of Hitler.
8. Repeal all laws, such as the Smiths
sConnally Act, that give either capital
or labor undue advantage over the other.

Runor Says Gable,
Studio at Odds,
But No One Talks
By Harold Heffernon
? " HuIVfu IIeHSf"uH
HOLLYWOOD

Another bombshell rocked Holly
wood today with persistent rumors
along film row that Clark Gable and
the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer studio
were quarreling and that Gable was
seeking to void his contract.
Studio officials refused to discuss
the situation and Gable was report
edly "out Of town."
The hottest box Office star in pic
lures before he volunteered for
Army duty after the tragic death of
his wife, Carole Lombard, Gable
was mustered out of service with
high honors in the summer of 1914.
Though he was ready for film work
his studio failed to start a picture
for him until almost a year later.
This was Adventure, which only
now is being released to theaters.
The studio said today there were
no new stories planned for Gable.
Every other leading name on the
MGM roster, however, including
Mickey Rooney, just now getting
out of service, either has pictures
under way or in preparation.

son for the recent spat between
Betty Hutton and her husband, Tec
Briskin. The boy resented the de-
mands Of Betty's career.
Jeanne Grain is wearing bloomers
middle blouse and long, thick
stockings, as 16-year-older in
"Margie." The year is 1929, but
I think that the bobby-soxers of
that period will resent the getup.
Jeanne has a new leading man
Alan Young. He, too, is having a
career = versus marriage problem.
Says Mr.. Young:
II saw my wife and children for
the first time in four months the
other day and 1t certainly was ex-
citing! came out from New York
and went straight to Reno" But
not for a divorce. The locale for
some Of the "Margie" scenes is
Reno, Before the picture Alan had
never driven car. He had to learn
to drive a model T. That's as
good car to learn on as any I
know.
Allyn Joslyn is the male lead in
1T Shouldn't Happen to a Dog"
This makes the umpteenth picture
for Allyn with an animal or a child
featured. And he's not sure he
likes it. "They always steal the
show" he says. Next for the actor
is picture with scene-stealer Butch
Jenkins.
