An End to Biddling
IT won't do to become too opti
mistic, but there are evidences
that Washington Is making rendy
to get hard-boiled about the few
thousand non-alien enemies who
aro deliberately sabotaging our
war effort from within.
Recently the Department of
Justice hits acted against George
W. Christians of the Crusader
White Shirts, In Chattanooga; Ru
dolph Fahl of Denver; Robert
Noble and Ellis O. Jones of Los
Angeles; and William Dudley Pel
ley, Silver Shirts leader, arrested
in Connecticut and taken td In
dianapolis. One need only consider the geo
graphical distribution of these ar
rests to guess they are. not the
Individual acts of zealous local
prosecutors. They arc first steps
to carry out a more realistic poli
cy on the parf of the nation's top
law officer, the attorney general.
As Mr. Biddle bears down, there
will be "outraged screams 'from
certain professional defenders of'
the civil liberties.' Some will be
sincere und others disingenuous.
To our mind, the most charitable
thing that can be said Of any such
protest will be that it is danger
ously shortsighted and mistaken.
Reiterating lifelong devotion to
every freedom guaranteed by the
Constitution and to some others,
wo urge Attorney General Biddlc
not to be swerved In any way
from going to town on every fifth
columnist his capable G-men can
llnd In this country.
This Is not, In any way, denial
of these freedoms of speech and
press without which American
democracy could not endure. Nei
ther Is it a call for witch-burning,
for the sort of hysterical oppres
sion which disgraced the adminis
tration of Justice after the World
war.
Rather, It Is frank recognition
that these United States are pock
marked with both naluiaJla'd and
native-born Americans who in
word, deed anil thought, tlrlibcr
1 alely are betraying this country
to Its foreign enemies.
There Is no excuse today, if ev
er there wiib, for permitting these
traitors to sell out their country
with Impunity. We know what
happened to tit her democracies
which were too lenient, in the
mi nu of the conventional free
items.
Francis Bldrtle is a liberal of
IH'isiiasliin. lie has been reluc
tant to stick a toe Into the hot
water of repression, lie has de
layed so long, in fact, that his
super-caution has won for ilself
the apt epithet "Hiililllng."
Under such a chief law ol fleer,
there is no danger of any rcpett
lion of the Mitchell Palmer scand
als. The menace Is rather that
even with a praiseworthy start,
we may proceed too slowly
against the Judascs in our midst.
Permit us to commend Air.
Diddle on the .steps he lias taken
thus far, and lo express the hope I
that they may portend a com
plctc end to Middling.

WASHINGTON, D. C, April SI
War industries in the north
west will be unable to operate at
capacity unless the threatened
labor shortage Is overcome. There
are not enough mechanics or
green hands available now for
the shipbuilding program and the
airplane factories. It is a fact
that scouts from some of the
large industries in Washington
and Oregon are now In the Rocky
mountain! states looking for me
chanics. In the mountain area
there are no big industries and
the scouts hope to round up the
men necessary for the coast.
One personnel man Is looking
for 30,000 men and he Isn't par
ticular where they come from. He
hopes to attract several thousand
from Denver, some from Chey
enne and will go to Omaha If
need be to find workers. Men en
gaged must pay their own trans
portation. At Bremerton navy
yard H. L. Mason, lieutenant U.
S. navy reserves, employment of
ficer, is reaching out for every
available man. He has notified
George P. . Sheridan, National
Youth administration, Taeoma,
that he lias jobs for about 150
NYA every week. Lieutenant
Mason's letter has been offered to
congress as to the importance of
the training of NYA.
It is estimated that 6,000 must
be transported from Portland to
! Vancouver, Wash., when the ship
j yards on the Washington shore of
j the Columbia are at the peak.
I Moving of this number of workers
j back and forth will be a problem.
A greater problem will be fa
l cilities for workers to reach Swan
j island, where 50 oil tankers are
j to be constructed in a yard now
being built.
j ' Proposed to President Roose
velt by Sidney Hillman as part
I of the program for administration
, of manpower is the establishment
; of a labor pool or battalion, a mo
bile rcservior of workers which,
under a directing head, can be
shifted from one war industry to
another as a shortage of workers
develops. This proposal was made
looking forward to the time when
scarcity of labor for war work
will become acute.
House Need Imperative
The housing trouble is breaking
out all over the northwest. The
thousands of dwelling at Bremer
ton, Seattle, Tacoma. Vancouver,
Spokane and Pasco, the units au
thorized for Medford, Albany,
Corvallis, Pendleton and Walla
Walla are insufficient to meet the
demand. Into, all of these com
munities are swarming an army
of workers who must have a place
to sleep. Housing of the most
temporary and flimsy character
meajis an expenditure of about
$3,000 per ifnit and in some in
stances up to $4,000.
Dairy Farmers Balk
John L. Lewis intends trying to
unionize the dairy farmers of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
as part of his campaign to enroll
an estimated 3,300,000 men in the
dairy industry. To date approxi
mately 30.000 dairymen have
joined up with the United Mine
Workers of America ( CIO), the
membership being in New York
ana Michigan. the UMW is
Lewis' personal union and his
reaching out for the dairymen is
his first step in his plan to estab
lish a third labor organization.
Four farm groups are prepared
to fight the union scheme to the
last ditch. The National Grange,
the American Farm Bureau Fed
eration, the Council of Farmers
Co-operatives, and the Free Farm
ers Inc. have been sharpening
their knives for.Lewls or any oth
er labor leader' who attempts to
force the dairymen into a union.
These farm associations opened
up by presenting witnesses in fa
vor of a house measure intended
to curb labor racketeering. The
UMW organizers assert that there
w ill be no violence in their efforts
to get the dairymen Into the tent;
that there will be no coercion, no
boycotting, no strikes or intimida
tion. These assurances have been
taken with a grain of salt by the
farm organizations.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
Religious freedom, like all
other freedoms, is a by-product.
It is the fruit of something
else which is primary and ba
sic. Freedom is a spiritual
ideal. Ideals cannot be cap
tured by direct quest. They
could not be kept if they
should be captured in that
manner. The ideal of freedom
cannot be forced upon any
people from the outside. The
ideal of freedom cannot be in
herited by one generation
from a past generation. Free
dom must be achieved by each
generation and each people for
itself. Following the World
war I European countries in
which crowned heads were de
stroyed and democracies set
up threw away their chance
for the very simple reason that
they were not prepared for it.
And freedom at the present
moment is battling for its life
throughout the whole world.
It Is gone in Spain, Germany,
Italy, Rumania, Russia, Ja
pan, and it Is fast fading out In
England, and in a measure in
the United States. It looks as
if we are coming upon another
day when the decline of spirit
ual religion throughout the
world, our own country in
cluded, is going to rob mankind
of all freedom. It looks as it
the battle must be fought
again. Amen.
problems are solved makes for a
story that will not be forgotten.
Musically 'The Power of God' is a
treat for all lovers of good music
and master compositions such as
Haendel's Messiah and Mendel
ssohn's T Know That My Re
deemer Liveth'."
The film was produced on the
R. K. O. Pat he lot as a Roland
Reed production under the super
vision of L. Meyer. The general
public is most cordially invited to
see tills picture. A silver offering
will be taken up to defray the ex
penses connected with the show

Value of Booster
Solutions as Crop
Aids Pointed Out
Barnyard manure placed In bar
irels or other watertight contain
ers and then covered with water.
I will provide a source of liquid
"booster" solutions highly vain
:able In growing farm and home
' gardens, points out J. Roland
; Parker, county agent.
Some care is necessary In
; handling, however, to prevent
damage from too strong concen
; trations. Only enough material
j should be put in a barrel so that
' It may be stirred several times
over a period of one or two days.
After that the liquid is diluted
with additional water until it has
a light amber color, when it is
safe to use.
j A pint of this liquid per plant
,when transplanting will serve as
;'a booster solution, or it may be
; poured along the side of grow
ing plants to stimulate more rapid
growth. For this purpose it may
! be used at intervals of 10 days to
two weeks on growing plants with
great benefit, particularly if soils
are not very fertile. Leafy veget
ables are especially benefitted
jfrom its use.
