 MUTUAL AID

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The United States and Canada an ncnce jointly that the two coun- tmes will continue to collaborate for peacetime joint security pur- poses"
 A statement issued simultaneously in Washington and Ottawa said that collaboration will be based on the following principles:
 I.-Interchange of selected indiy- iduals 50 as to increase the famil- iaTity Of each countrys defense establishment with that of the oth- CT country
 2.-General cooperation and ex- change Of observers in connection with exercises and with the devel- opment and tests of material of common interest.
 5.-Encouragement of common designs and standards in arms, equipment, organization, methods of tlCIllAlS anu llCW QLFtlC FiliC1ltS. As certain United Kingdom stand ards have long been in use in Can ada, no radical change is contem- plated or practicable and the ap- plication of this principle will be gradual.
 4.-Mutual and reciprocal avail ability of military, naval and air laoAIties in each country; this principle to be applied as may be agreed in specific instances. Reci- procally each country will continue to provide with minimum of for maiity for the transit through it's territory and it's territorial waters of military aircraft and public ves- sels Of the other country.

R RkF PLANES
 SEARCH FOR
 IMMIGRANTS
By CARTER L. DAVIDSON

JERUSALEM, Fe.. = RAF spot ter planes roved the skies above the eastern Mediterranean today amid unofficial reports that a Jewish refugee ship bearing the namt "Elue" with 600 uncertified i'm migrants aboard had left Algiers Sunday for Palestine. The ship has not yet been sighted in Palestine waters.
 The British Navy declined to com ment on whether the spotter planes were searching for the "Elue'
 It was reported previously that the ship was in Marseilles harbor where port authorities were said to have refused her permission to sail on the grounds that she was not equipped with adequate safety de- vices. These reports said she was later authorized to sail and made her way to Algiers where she was said to have weighed anchor Sun day
 Reliable sources said today that at least 12 persons were injured last night when Jewish extremists clashed with anti-terrorist Jews in Tel Aviv in the first struggle of Jew against-Jew in Palestine since the British Army began it's drive to stamp out underground violence.
 The fight, which broke out as po- lice ana military forces poised them selves for expected new outbreaks Of violence, was said to have begun when youths presumed to be ad- herents of Irgun zvai Leumi," Jew ish underground group, attempted to storm the clubrooms of Hashomir Haizair, Jewish political )artv rpen- ly opposed to terrorism. Informants said the attackers hurled Molotov cocktail bombs-bottles filled with gasoline-and started several fires which were quickly extinguished. At least five of the attackers and seven occupants of the clubrooms were re- ported injured n the :racas

schools, as an institution, sink lower
and lower in public estimation.
At last one man in politics has
something to say that well. deserves
serious consideration for many reasons,
but particularly because it is grounded
in sound common sense. The speaker
is Humbert H. Humphrey. Mr.. Hum
phrey is mayor of Minneapolis. He was
on the rostrum during the seventy
third session of the American Associa-
ton of School Administrators in At
lantic City.
One reason, he said, why public edu-
cation faces a financial crisis, is that
it has failed to become a living, vital
force in the political, economic and So
cial life of America. "In a period of
world crises" he declared,7 young
people have not been taught to come
to grips with such urgent modern
problems as labor and management re-
l%ations, urbanization, housing, active
use of government to achieve needed
ends. Apparently we don't hold these
truths to be self-evident." .
During his address, Mr.. Humphrey
accused schoolteachers of being timid,
"afraid to tackle controversial SUBJ
%jects." You don't have to be an expert,
he added, Ito know that worldwide
understanding among ordinary people
is our most important and least de-
veloped resource"
His viewpoint cannot we'll be should
cred aside. Human contacts and prob
lens are quite as important in the de-
velopment of citizenship and leadership
as the academic and trade courses avail
able in the class room.

ages are not permanent. They can
fluctuate like the tides.
But considering that President Tru-
mans popularity had ebbed to the
minimum following the last election and
is now rising, it must be apparent that
if the present course of the republicans
is not improved and the President con-
tinues at the pace he has set for him
self since he tweeked John l.. Lewis
nose, the democrats chance of carrying
the 1913 election is very good indeed.
1t will be we'll for the American peo-
pie to keep an eye on President Tru-
man, who gives good promise of even
more outstanding leadership now than
when he threw off the new deal shackles
and charted his own course.

Knockout For Lewis

While President Truman was speak
ing on trade relations in Waco, Texas,
yesterday, the Supreme Court of the
United States upheld the governments
contempt proceedings against John
L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers,
the labor union Lewis has long ruled
with a despot's hand.
Chief Justice Vinson read the de-
%cision, which had the backing of seven
justices. Justices Murphy and Rutledge
dissented in a minority opinion, and
justices Black and Douglas presented
separate opinions in part concurring
with and in part dissenting from the
-majority.
AS of this writing the reasons why
Justices Murphy and Rutledge opposed
the majority ruling are not available,
nor are the parts thereof with which
Justices Black and Douglas could not
= agree.
But whatever they may have been
the fact remains that the highest tri-
:. bunal in the world, beyond which there
= is no appeal has struck a deadly blow
. at John L. Lewis domination of more
: than 100000 miners and his attempt
to usurpt functions of the federal gov
eminent.
While the Court reduced the original
fine Of s3,50O,000 against the United
Mine Workers to 100000, it made clear
beyond peradventure of doubt that it's
decision must be complied with in five
days or the balance of the fine would
be restored, and further, made it equal
ly clear that Lewis may not conclude
the miners contract with the govern
ment, as he had given notice of doing,
on the first of April instead of the
date fixed by the contract itself,-June
80 next.
The effect of the Supreme Courts
action is far-reaching. 1t is not limited
to the union directly affected. It estab-
fishes a precedent which cannot fail
in their mad rush to dictate the ma
TONS economy, at whatever sacrifice
might be involved for the nation and
the men Of labor.
Reasonably, it will encourage Con-
gress speedily to enact legislation which
will protect labor from its own leader
ship and give industry a square deal
in its relations with labor.
1t is not much to think that the
John l.. Lewises of labor have lost their
~-stranglehold. Able to breathe freely
.-again, both labor and industry will be
liable to settle their differences equitably.

Constructive School
Criticism

Public education as conducted in the
schools of the country has been under
fire a long time, not only because of
courses available from the primary
grades through high school, which many
critics claim have been inadequate, but
more recently because of the teacher
shortage and the low salaries teachers
are paid.
Education has been widely discussed,
its faults pointed out and condemned,
by educators themselves, politicians who
often have a personal axe to grind, in
the pulpit, at the hearthside, on the
curbstone. Much of the fault with such
criticism lies in the fact that it is de.
structive. Seldom do the critics pro.
pose practical means of improvement

How The Earth Is Measured

The path Travelled by the earth
around the sun is not quite
a circle, but an ellipse. The earth
is farthest away from the sun on
July 6, when the South Frigid

somewhat colder than the winters
in the North Frigid Zone around
the North pole. Winter in the
Southern Hemisphere also lasts
about seven days longer than in
the Northern Hemisphere.
The earth is nearest the sun on
Jan. 2. This helps to relieve the
