Nightfall and the heaving ocean separated the boats in a few hours and then hegan an ordeal such as few men ever have lived to relate. The rations were set—tywo sea biscuits and a pint of water per man per day. ‘The lifeboat was headed for Ireland and the men tugged at the oars throughout the afternoon of Dec. 20. But that night all but two oars were lost, alorg with the sea anchor. - All Hands Put to Bailing

Time began to lose its meaning, but Pearson remembers that the next day they wished one another “Merry Christmas.” 5 Then four firemen began crying for water. Robinson refused to give them more than the ration so they scooped up sea water with their hands snd drank it. That night they chanted spirituals in cracked, weird voices, prayed, went mad and died. Their bodies were slipped over tie side one by one. | The 16-year-old boys died the next morning, in their sleep.

They were saved by the timely appearance of the freighter.

Mattress on Our Deferred Payment Plan!

Various bills have been introduced in Congress embodying the “ceoling off” principle of the railway labor law and of certain state laws, as well as the ‘compulsory no-strike proposals opposed by. unions, many employers, and the Administration. The success of mediation and-the failure‘of compulsory arbitration are stressed in the new emergency survey of labor defense problems by the Twentieth Century Fund, On this special committee are such experts as Messrs. Murray and Leiserson, chairman William H. Davis of the New York State Mediation Board, Robert J. Watt of the A. F. of L., and Professors Sumner H. Slichter of Harvard, Edwin E. Witte of Wisconsin and Lloyd G. Reynolds of Johns Hopkins.

Both peacetime and wartime experience in Canada and Australia shows that strikes increase under compulsory arbitration laws, and Britain in the last war proved that making strikes illegal does not stop them, the report states. In the United States in the last war strikes and lockouts were not prohibited, But the report warns that the present situation is apt to get out of hand unless adequate mediation facilities are available: 2 “Since workers in defense industries are only 30 to 40 per cent unionized, with aggressive organizing campaigns under way or projected in most fields . . . many disputes are likely to get out of hand and result’ in strikes, unless some agency outside the industry intervenes to facilitate a settlement.”

—Things are a little bit different on Capitol Hill today. John Nance Garner is gone. Cactus Jack has hung up his political portfolio for good and gone home to his beloved Texas. His public career of 43 years—38 of which were spent in Washington—has ended. His last official act was to swear in his successor as Vice President. ; There was no fanfare as he left. Only a small gathering of intimate friends saw him off. Never a man of many words, Mr, Garner clung steadfastly to that tradition. He simply said: “God bless you.” That was all. And a moment later a train sped away into the night carrying Private Citizen Garner back to Uvalde to see that “there is plenty of grass and flowers and swings for the children” who live in the houses that Cactus Jack built. Maybe, as he roams the Texas plains, he’ll think of all the things that happened in the past 43 years which carried him from the Texas Legislature to the second highest office in the land. But there'll be no written memoirs. Cactus Jack said so himself. : Maybe what he’ll remember most though, is that last day in Washington. It was “sad to leave old friends,” he said. But there was a sort of happy ending, because at the last moment there was a warm handshake from the man whose third term Garner had sacrificed his political career to prevent—the “boss”

Bulgaria and Jugoslavia have proven by their attitudes toward Germany that they do not believe a Nazi victory is in the making. Otherwise, neither country would have had the temerity to express so publicly their resolve to keep away from the Axis bloc.

The same is true of the attitude of the French Government. Marshal Petain shows by indirection that his present policy is not based on conviction of totalitarian success in the.war. ‘ The Marshal's “reconciliation” with Pierre Laval does not imply that he has surrendered anew to the Germans.
