TURKEY ARRIVES, LATE

URKEY'S declaration of war against the axis, postdated March 1, is an anti-climax. She acted under | pressure from the allies, and none too graciously at that. | She resented the ultimatum—sent to her and eight others | —+that a declaration of belligerency was the price of a| “seat at the San Francisco and other united nations conference. If the big powers are subject to any blame in this connection, it is not that they moved so abruptly, but belatedly. Turkey has been getting a free ride for a long time. She has most of the advantages of being on the victorious side | with none of the sacrifices. There were several times when | her help was needed desperately—when Hitler swung down | into the, Balkans, when Britain could-not rescue Greece without her aid, and later .when the allies attempted to |

2 n ~ |

o = » NEVERTHELESS, it would have been short-sighted | for the allies to deny Turkey a seat at the peace conference because she came late. For Turkey is the strongest and | most progressive of the Middle East nations. As such she | is the key to some of the most serious and explosive prob- | .Jems of the pest-war world. To achieve stability in the Middle East will be difficult with Turkey's co-operatian, and without it impossible. ’ So we can afford to forget her tardiness and welcome | her sincerely into the joint benefits and responsibilities of | the united nations—responsibilities which are particularly

heavy in the Middle East though the axis menace there | "is past.

Why was this ‘“coalsaving” request sprung on us in late February, when demand for fuel begins to subside? Has the government any figures which it could have displayed in advance to demonstrate that the saving in tons justifies the interference? | Other and perhaps more drastic regulations will be required before the war is won.

REFLECTIONS

4Fs and the Army

By Joe Williams

MIAMI, Feb. 26.—There are two letters at hand. One is from . Congressman Samuel A. Weiss (Pa.):-the other is from Pfc. Mack McGinnis, who is stationed at Camp Atterbury, Ind. Both let= ters touch dn the same subject, viz: Phys fitness in relation to military service, . The congress~ man’s letter begins: “My dear Joe: I read your article in the Pittsburgh Press of last Sunday and I ; was somewhat surprised. Evidently you have not read the Weiss-Hartley bill. I assure vou I would he the last person in the world to introduce a bill that would regiment the youth of | America into a ‘Hitler youth movement'” Pfe. McGinnis presents some revealing information about the 4-Fers and the uses to which the military

put them.

'Dangerous and Undemocratic'

LET'S CONSIDER. the two letters in order. First, the congressman's. I don't recall I ever met Samuel Weiss. but I've known of him for years, first as a football player, later as a football official. Of him and his character I've heard only the best and I wish to be among the first to agree: he has no aim to Hitlerize the American youth. But his bill, federal aid matching state funds, does call for a form of physical regimentation which I believe: is dangerous and undemoeratic. Under its provisions, your’ child, beginning at kindergarten age, would be taken over by professional healthers and subjected to & nation-wide blueprint of nipups, belly bepds and torso twists. This bill presupposes that you, Mr, Smith, as a

POLITICAL SCENE—

Manpower Tangle

By Thomas 1 Stokes’y.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-It used to be the consensus around here that congress could tie “itself in more knots 'and propound more confusion on the subject of tax bills than any other, A fine -sample was thes mongrel tax law compromised out of the once famous Ruml plan. The conflicting ideas of the treasury and congress confounded the most astute and left the average tax- . . payer in a hopeless fog. Congress has been trying to simplify that one ever since. There may be some excuse in a tax, bill, for tax legislation, after all, is very abstruse subject, even to the experts, and too, congress has to be. careful to avoid loopholes through which smart lawyers can sneak their clients. Also politics always intrudes, There seems much less excuse when it comes to writing a manpower bill to fit the nation’s workers into the right places to get the most production in a war, with shortages threatened, and with an allout effort needed for the final push. But the palm for confusion this year should go to the senate military affairs committee for the draft of the “work-or-fight” bill it finally has patched together after sitting with the problem for a month.

Dispute Covers Important Point

THERE IS a difference of opinion, for instance, on whether the penalties in the measure can be applied to both the employer and the employees, though the intention seemed to be that they should apply only to the employer, and most members now agree that is the proper interpretation, according to Sénator Thomas (D. Utah), committee chairman, But there are still some who disagree. An explosion by Senator Ferguson (R. Mich), himself a lawyer, illusirates the confusion: “If the lawyers in the senate can't agree, then God nelp the constituents!” This dispute covers a most important point. For

| “WE WON'T BE {ANY MORE PREPARED” By 8 Reader, Indianapolis

Can you justify your stand on compulsory trajning after digesting { the following facts?

In world war®l and up to the present in this war, our casualties versus the countries involved (which had compulsory training) are about one American to nine European, Now when we break down via organizations, we find that the merchant marine has suffered 30 per cent of our total dead so it is quite possible if we eliminate that branch that the ratio per combat group may go as high as 1 American to 11 European. If our compulsory training: would be no more efficient than European, why even try it? Again let me ask, why train for a war we are now outlawing? Men trained for war in 1950 wouldn't be much good in 1953 at the rate war is changing. a And again let me ask, ‘whi 1s there: that oan say just “what weapons will be used inthe next war? So fardin this war we have had to make hundreds of changes. Yet we are showing all of the compulsory trained Europe and Asia that with 18 months training we can lick their pants off them. Our casualties would be far less in this war had we prepared when we knew what otir enemies were up to. Surely we had enough warning. Ambassadors to, Germany and Japan let Mr. Roosevelt know what to expect. Yes, it was late in 1941 pefore our men in cambs had anything but sticks to train with. In conclusion, I might suggest that only when our chief executive has courage enough to advise our congress (even if an election is pending) the true state of affairs, we won't be any more prepared with compulsory training.

4 Investigators for the bureau of labor statistics have gone into hundreds of stores and found you can't get the inexpensive lines of clothing which you n¢ed and which you used to buy. Labor union representatives who claim to be - looking out for your interests say that. because you can't buy these things you need higher wages. On the other hand, representatives of the textile

mills, the clothing manufacturers, the wholesalers J and retailers are prone to say you now have more money than you ever had in your life, that in your o

present plush condition you wouldn't. take the old, cheaper lines of merchandise as a gift. >

Orders Are Extremely Complicated

BUT IF THERE aren't any inexpensive clothes for you to buy, say the representatives of WPB, OCR, OPA, WLB, BLS, OES and assorted govern=ment alphabetical war agencies, your cost of living will go up, well have to authorize wage increases for you, and that will start an inflationary spiral which will increase the cost of the war and might even wreck the national economy. 1f you can understand this simple little fairy story you can understand the main points of the big fight now being waged in Washington over the new War Production Board-Office of Price Administration ors. ders intended to roll back the cost and increase the supply of the lower-priced lines of clothing. It may take some weeks or even months beforé |} the consumer who goes a-shopping for new clothes will be able to see the effects of these new orders For instance, supposing the order does succeed in diverting cloth not needed by the armed services from more expensive clothing into the less expensive lines. Suppose the little woman goes into a shop with six dollars, intending to buy a house dress at $5.98 and keep the change. But the clerk says, sorry, we don’t have any at $5.98, All we have are at $1.08. Okay, says the babe, I'll take three and gimme the change to buy pearls and chewing gum with. . Isn't that disguised inflation, and doesn't it defeat the purposes of the orders? A

Changes Can Be Made

REALIZING that their orders may have. bugs of. this kind hidden in the yardage, WPB and OPA have both said that if the ordérs don't work they will be changed. This is big-hearted of them and it makes sense. If the orders are unenforceable and result. in a clothing black market, they will have to be changed. ; Jed Most of the noise coittes froth conflict within the - : trade among growers, spinners, weavers, converters,
