Manpower Shortage
Eddy Gilmore, AP correspondent in Moscow, sends a report
that Russia is shifting manpower from non-essential to essential
industries in order to increase industrial production. It is not a
forcing of labor into industry, because workers are given a
choice -of approved occupations; but they are being evacuated
from jobs in government and other "non-essential" activities
which long' have been considered overstaffed. Probably the sys
tem works somewhat like our own wartime system of directing
labor into war industry.
Great Britain also complains of lack of manpower, the de
ficiency running about 10 per cent below the number thought
necessary to reach production goals. It has not been easy to
reverse the wartime flow into war industries such as metal and
chemical plants into coal mining, textile and other manufacturing.
This manpower shortage is not surprising. Several million
men became war casualties, either killed or seriously wounded
and unable to become full producers. Armies are still over-size
as compared with pre-war levels, which keeps thousands of able
youth out of industry and agriculture. Present workers are un
able to turn out as much work as usual due to physical weak
ness through malnutrition and through lack of proper machinery
and transportation.
It will take years and years to get the mills of the world
to running smoothly. Even in this country a lack of skilled
workers will be felt lor many years because of the dropping of
training programs during the war. Under any rational ordering
of affairs the spectre of unemployment should not arise for a
long time to come, save with seasonal or unskilled workers.
Coal to Europe
Every day items appear in the papers about how schools
and factories are being forced to suspend or taper off in opera
tions because of lack of coal. The government witnesses painted
a sorry picture of distress if the strike is prolonged beyond a
month or two.
Other witnesses might testify td the injury resulting in
other lands if their supply of coal from this country is long cut
off. Before the war Europe got most of its coal from England
and Wales and from mines on the continent. Mines in Britain
are not back to prewar production and output in the great Ruhr
region of Germany is disappointingly low. So the United States
has been a heavy sapplier to Europe.
According to "World Report" the United States furnished,
based on August figures, the following percentages of coal sup
plied to these countries: Italy 70 per cent; Finland 60; Norway
45: Portugal 42: Sweden 32; Denmark 32; Switzerland 25; Hol
land 22; France 13; Belgium 8.
It seems almost incredible that when Americans are being
urged to give clothing and food and money to alleviate actual
distress in Europe that the flow of anything as essential as coal
should be stopped because of the arbitrary demands of one indi
vidual or even of a group of individuals whose wage and scale
of living must seem almost a paradise to the majority of work
er on the continent.
Coaft Gas Consumption
Those in the petroleum business estimate that the five states
on the Pacific slope will consume about 3,700.000,000 gallons of
gasoline this year. Of this amount California will use 70 per cent.
At that, however, consumption in California will not show
the increase shown in the other four states of Washington, Ore
gon. Nevada and Arizona. Its gain will be about a third while the
Increase in gallonage in the other states will run about 45 per cent.
The shift indicates the falling off of military consumption
which was greater in California, and the spread of tourist traffic
through the whole west. The latter should continue.
The base on which comparison is made, 1945, was under gas
rationing ur.til the end of the war, so the increase in 1946 is far
greater than normal. However the west coast is expanding in
population and motor registration, and the gasoline consumption
is a good index both of that increase and of the increase in busi
ness and pJefasure travel.
A speaker at the chamber of commerce Monday convinced
most of his auditors that there was no leak in the nation's sugar
bowl, but ju5t not enough sugar there to satisfy .all the demands.
If we can stick out oh present rations another four months he
thinks we ll each get several more grains extra then.
Those who have seen themselves in newsreels know how
damaging they can be; but it remained for John L. Lewis to
object to a reshowing of a newsreel because of the accompanying
talkie rather than the picture.
Either the Presidio or Philadelphia is recommended for the
site of the capital of the United Nations by its investigating
committee. Westerners will call it going from the sublime to
the ridiculous.
Fiorello LaGuardia is talked of for governor for Triest.
One thing, he would keep the city in hot water like now.
Editorial Comment cZZYr
OLE OLSON OF OSLO
For want of coal, Norwegians must burn wood to keep warm
this winter.
Of course. Norway has plenty of timber, but for want of man
power to cut enough of it, wood must be rationed.
Since cut timber is in short supply and coal is lacking, Norway's
paper rwitls are prevented from reaching full capacity. That's hard
luck because paper is as good as hard money in a world avid for
paper. For want of paper to sell. Norway suffers a loss of dollars,
pounds sterling, pesetas, francs, lire and. whatnot other foreign ex
change. For lack of foreign exchange, Norwegians must struggle
along under strict food rationing.
Thin economic vicious circle well illustrates the interdependence
of nations. It is an old theme that it is not enough to have plentiful
resources; you must be geared to get at them. Norway has abundant
fisheries, abundant ttmbar, abundant electrical power to make ferti
lisers and abundant shipping in which to move these products to
market and in which to bring home the missing commodities that
her economy must have in order to function.
But the want of coal keeps the. circle a vicious one. Before the
war, Norway imported all the coal she needed, about 3,000,000 tons
a year, from Poland and Britain. Britain now has a coal famine and
can send none to Norway. So Norway is getting only 2,000,000 tons
this year, mostly from Poland, some from the Ruhr and some from
the United States (at great expense from us and subject to inter
ruptions in delivery).
Unfortunately. Norway cannot get as much coal from the Ruhr
as it used to get from Britain. This is because of the unproductive
ness of one Hans Schulz, a coal miner living in Essen. Offhand it
would not seem to make any difference whether Herr Schulz had a
house to live in or a roof of tar paper in a cave of rubble, whether
he was afele to scrabble up 1200 calories of food a day or 3500. But it
does make a difference, all too visible in the Norwegian coal import
statistics. For the fact is that Schulz, the coal miner of Essen, does
not have a warm house and 3500 calories of food a day to fuel his
bodily strength to mine coal to send to Norway to make paper to
provide -foreign exchange to buy food and warm the body of Ole
Olson of Oslo. San Francisco Chronicle.

"Stion. Many au
t h o r i t iea here
Paal Halloa merely see un
settling events ahead and at hand
domestically and internationally
and are not sure how these will
all come out.
The most common expectation
appears to be that the republi
cans will assume domestic leader
ship next month when they take
hold of congress. Some legislation
like the Case bill, to put the un
ions in line, is anticipated for
passage over any veto (there may
not be a veto this time.) The leg
islation will take the line certain
ly of making the unions responsi
ble for contracts and finances. Al
most surely it will open up the
exclusive trustlike combines of
the unions and seek to restore to
men their right to work. One un
ion, for instance, charges $1000
initiation fee and otherwise ex
cludes anyone from joining or
working without joining. A! great
many union people want this re
formed as was advocated by those
union workers whose homes were
bombed in Hollywood because
they wished to work during a
jurisdictional dispute. The legisla
tion might go further and try to
protect the public against strikes
in public utilities strikes which
shut off light, heat, or public ne
cessities like food-distribution and
trans porta tion.
May B Poshed Swiftly
Whatever reforms are to be
enacted may be pushed through
swiftly in the new congress or
republican leaders will try to push
them swiftly. The truth is con
gress is not a good place to en
trust leadership. By its very, na
ture it must give full protection
to minority rights and thus open
the way for filibusters, delays,
stalls. Essentially congress is more
of a balance wheel than an affirm
ative action body. Consequently a
shrewd inside fight is in pros
pect. The union leaders are not only
rushing headlong to meet these
prospects, but are actually pro
voking an economic struggle. The
CIO wage policy committee is ex
pected to work out a demand for
another wage increase of about 15
per cent The figure is being based
on present prices, which govern
ment economists say will not last
in food 30 to 60 days more and
certainly are tending downward
for next year and also simulta
neously based on what CIO ex
pects (he companies to make next
year in great profits. Regardless
of the fact that many leading
companies like Western ; Union,
ford, CM. and others are opera t
ing at a loss due to the last wage
increases'. The claims do not make
much economic sense.
Good Economic Advisors
To meet this CIO campaign for
which Lewis has been fronting in
his coal strike, Mr. Truman has
fairly good economic advisors (de
spite reports to the contrary.) If
there is one thing Economic Sta
bilizer Steelman knows, it is la
bor relations and unions. Further
more, the right hand advisor is
supposed to be seldom mentioned
Missouri lawyer.
The old advisors Treasury Sec
retary Snyder and RFC Adminis
trator George Allen are said to
be resting obscurely in house of
canines as far as Mr. Truman is
concerned. National Chairman
Hannegan. whose health is not
good, can be led to suffer a re
lapse, it is said, at any time the
names of Allen and Snyder are
currently mentioned.
No affirmative leadership is
available however to take hold of
the ravaging economic elements
and whittle them down into a sta
ble economy toward prices and
wages which will last more than
a few months, although ; this is
what labor needs more urgently
than another wage increase. The
nation needs it also because strikes
are proving to be costly weapons
to many strikers who lose more in
them than is gained, and of course
the nation must have production
to get back on its feet. We are
not "talking ourselves into a de
pression," as they try to say here
now, but we are drifting into one,
impelled by lack of constructive
leadership.
Hotel Space Vacant
A week ago Saturday, the larg
est hotel here had 120 rooms
empty for the first time since the
war. A certain airline is not car
rying enough' passengers to make
any profit. The strikers on TWA
cannot all get their jobs back. In
many key spots the signs of drift
ing letdown are noticeable.
Internationally the breaks of
socialism toward the communists
in Britain, France and Italy par
ticularly are weakening the co
operation among politicians who
oppose communism, a i matter
which has been touched in this
column earlier. In both lines the
future will be determined by the
outcome of critical events now in
the making.

"broker" or middleman between
tha twn rreat nnwri a rola which
France has essayed to follow,
rather haplessly to date.
Socialist opinion, both in this
country and abroad goes on the
assumption that republican vic
tory in the United States means
an economic "bust" of serious pro
portions. This idea has been rather
carefully cultivated by our own
leftist groups, until it gives their
ovencu comrades tremors. Brit
ain for example feels that a deep
depression in the United States
would ruin its own economy.
Hence its desire to get or stay
free from economic tieup with the
United States.
This assumption lacks adequate
validity. It is true that the de
pression of 1929 burst in the Hoo
ver administration. It is probably
true also that political misjudg
ments in this country accentu
ated its extent. But over the long
er term republication administra
tions were associated with pros
perity. The democratic party suf
fered long under the onus of the
panic of 1893. Leftist prophecy is
notoriously unreliable witness
the official prediction of five to
eight million jobless in this coun
try in the spring of 1948.
While the British and outers
abroad may be overwrought, re
publicans as they move into power
must be aware of the global ef
fects of what may seem to be de
cisions on domestic policy. A nar
row isolationism as to credits and
tariffs may be even more dam
aging to the world and eventual
ly to ourselves than political in
sularity. Senator Taft seems to
he aware of the fact, for he was
quoted recently as denying any
purpose of invoking high protec
tive tariffs. The danger is that
the accumulation of local pres
sures will result in return to such
a policy.
It is true that the policies of the
United States as revealed in in
ternational conferences is bi-partisan,
and Senator Vandenberg is
a powerful influence for continu
ation of present programs. But
these relate largely to political
issues. On matters of foreign
trade in which Undersecretary of
state Will Clavton has specialized.
which point to greater freedom of
trade, republican cooperation has
not been noted: and previously
republicans voted against the Hull
plan of reciprocal trade agree
ments, whose object was similar.
As I see it this is a danger point
for republicans: a reversal of pol
icies for renewal of world trade
would strangle recovery abroad
and slowly paralyze business
within the country. This is no
call for classic "free trade" but
for greater liberality in trade re
lations, and continued assistance
from the United States as a cred
itor nation to stimulate economic
restoration of other lands. If re
publicans can adapt their pro
gram to meet existing conditions
there is much less likelihood of
the depression which has become
almost an obsession with parties
of the left.

Colleges of the future must pay
more attention to the things which

gether, Dr. A. L. Strand, president
of Oregon State college, told Sa

day. Oregon State college now has
an enrollment of 7000 and 61 per
cent or 4300 of them are veter
ans. Dr. Strand said in outlining
what he termed some of the lesser
problems which confront the Ore
gon institutions of higher learning
as a result of the greatly increased
demand for educaUon.
Need for a committment from
the people of the state on what
it is desired shall be done about
the steadily mounting enrollments.
Enrollment at Oregon State col
lege will total 8000 in 1948 and
9000 in 1949, Dr. Strand pre
dicted. He cited the distribution of stu
dents this year as evidence that
the veteran is not the sole reason
for the greater enrollment. Fresh
men number 3200, sophomores
2300; juniors, 683 and seniors, 666,

two years.

Search on as
Two Escape at
Walla Walla
WALLA WALLA, Dec. J-0P-The
bleak, snow covered hills of
the Blue Mountains in southeast
ern Washington tonight became
the scene of one of the most in
tensive manhunts in recent his
tory as more than 30 men led by
experienced mountaineers sought
two men who escaped from the
state penitentiary here this morn
ing and forced a passing motorist
to take them into the mountains.
The men were identified by
prison officials as Allan Latimer,
37, sentenced to a life term from
Asotin county on a statutory
charge and Robert Shets serving
life for murder from Yakima
county.
Latimer was born and raised in
the Blue Mountains and is said
to be famiHar with the area be
lieved to be used as a hideout. Of
ficials said the two men were
working on the prison farm early
today and drove a truck they were
using to the edge of the grounds,,
abandoned it and set off across the
fields on foot.
Shortly afterward Curtis Tar
water. Walla Walla, picked up two
hitch-hikers near his home. They
later told him they were escapees
and one climbed over to the driv
er's seat and headed the auto
toward the mountains. Tarwater
was unharmed and they left him
with his car up the Walla Walla
river.
The search tonight is being con
ducted by prison officials assisted
by Oregon and Washington state
patrols and guided by four moun
taineer residents of the district on
horseback. All roads in the dis
trict have been blocked and re
sort cabins and trappers' cabins
are being searched.
Christmas Seal
History Told
To Jaycees
A short history of the Christmas
seal movement was presented by
Tin k ham Gilbert, president of the
Marion County Public Health as
sociation, Tuesday noon in a
speech to the Junior Chamber of
Commerce.
The movement began in 1904
when a postal clerk in Copen ha
ven, Denmark, conceived the idea
while sorting mail, Gilbert said.
The distribution of the seals be
came official the same year upon
the approval of the plan by the
king.
The speaker stressed that funds
obtained through the sale of the
seals go for the prevention, not
the treatment of tuberculosis. The
treatment of the disease is the re
sponsibility of the state, Gilbert
said. A high percentage of the
money is used locally to test for
the disease and trap it in its early
stages.
Next week's meeting will be
held Monday noon Instead of
Tuesday, when the Jaycees will
join the senior chamber of com- i
merce at the regular C. of C.
luncheon, welcoming the city
council and mayor -elect.

Texas to the eastern seaboard to
raise a competitive barrier In the
face of Lewis. ;
This would, he said, "by no

petitive fuel which would help to
telieve the rigors Imposed upon
this great industrial area by the
