More Production, More Subsidies 1 VV/ILLIAM GREEN, the AFL presidert, tas told a Sen-

ers, Mr. Green estimated, it would give the country 40 million more man-hours of production a week. “7 We think Mr. Green has ‘made a most important con- | cession—that the 40-hour week is not long enough for the | available labor force to do all that needs doing, and that a 45-hour week would not be unreasonable or harmful to | workers’ health. His suggestion, -of course, differs from that of C. E. Wilson, president of General Motors, whom President Truman has accused of living in 1890 because he advocates a 45-hour week with premium pay for the extra |

five hours. s

THREE MAIN factors make the task as difficult as any that ever confronted a peacetime international body. They are: ONE: Preoccupation of the British, nolders of the mandate, with’ keeping Arab relationships in good order. Therefore, the British policy, beamed far, far into the future, eliminates any cooperation with the United Nations in actually setting up the projected Jewish and Arab states. They are dropping the mandate sometime in May, pulling out troops by August, and leaving the United Nations to struggle with a problem that they, the British, could not solve in a quar- | ter-century occupation.

1 Why Did Mr. Einstein Blast Military Brass?,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—Behind the blast which scientist Albert Einstein and a score of Jess prominent Americans have just issued against the large number of Army. and Navy officers now holding high civilian jobs in the U. 8, Government, there is one story not sufficiently emphasized. “It is who-inspired this state ment, and the real reasons for putting it out? Co-signers with Mr. Einstein were such people as Chancellor Ray Lyman Wilbur of Stanford University, ex-president of Ane tioch College; Arthur Morgan, authoress Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Edwin T. Dahlberg of the Northern Baptist Conference; James G. Patton of the Farmers’ Union; Chat Paterson of the Amer fcan Veterans Committee, William J. Millor, 8. J., of the Univer sity of Detroit; Julius Mark of the American Rabbis, and others, It looks like & broad cross-section of American thought. Their statement, criticizing the military caste and the hug? expenditures for national defense, came out last week in the form | of a 32-page pamphlet. The cover bore the imprint of a mall | fist. The title was. ‘“The Militarization of America.”

‘Generals and Admirals Galore

| THE MAIN argument ‘inside-was that the traditionally civil | fan government of the U. 8. was being taken over by militarists | Gen. Marshall is Secrefary of State. Gen. MacArthur is runnin Japan. Gen. Clay is running Germany. Gen. Waiter B: Smith is ambassador to Moscow. Gen. Kenneth Royall is secre of the Army. Adm. William D. Leahy has an office ir th Waits House. - Other brass and braid is scattered all ove: ih The implication is that this is what happened in German’ Russia and Japan—and look at the results. The point is well taken, though it is not exactly mew. It was heard frequently during the war. Ths story is more timely right now, when ) | couple of generals named Eisenhower and MacArthur seem to be taken seriously in some quarters as contenders for the Pres dency. The voters will have to think twice before decid! whether they want any more generals in the White House.
