Why Not Face the Facts?
A bill has been introduced in the congress to give
President Roosevelt the following powers:
1. Take over and operate any strike-bound munition
plant
2. Seise and use for the United States any patents, in
the interest of national defense.
3. Requisition ships, wharves, railroads, farms, or any
other facility deemed necessary in national defense.
4. Sell or otherwise dispose of, on such terms as the
President deems satisfactory, any property right or interest
thus requisitioned.
Extraordinary powers to grant any ONE person
in a democracy in normal times!
But the above request, formally presented by
members of the congress, merely emphasizes the fact
that, in the judgment of the people's representatives
in Washington, these are NOT normal times.
IN other words, except for the formal declaration
1 of war, the United States IS at war NOW, fighting
against Hitler, with every resource available and
every informed person in Washington realizes the
fact. Undoubtedly war has not been declared, simply
because the powers that be, believe that American
aid to Britain can be made more effective, without it.
CO these extraordinary powers should be granted
the President.
For if a state of war had been formally declared,
there would be no necessity for such a request. In
time of war, the President of the United States, is
Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy, and be
cause of that position, is granted authority by the
Constitution, to do whatever in his judgment is nec
essary to do, to properly defend the United States.
But because, technically, a state of war doesn't
exist, the request IS necessary.
So in granting it, the congress, as we see it, would
merely be facing the REALITIES of the present sit
uation, and abandoning further make-believe and
pretense a course of action which has been delayed
far too long, in this department's judgment
A Friend of Labor Speaks
What an enemy of organized labor may say about
labor, should have little weight.
But what a friend, and
has to say, should have weight, for it is fair to assume
that in such a judgment there is neither animus nor
prejudice, but only sympathetic concern and genuine
interest in the welfare of the labor movement.
CUCH a tried and true friend, is Thurman W.
Arnold, of the U. S. department of justice, former
professor at Yale, confirmed New Dealer, and im
placable foe of Big Business and Wall Street.
Here is Dr. Arnold s verdict in the current Head
ers Digest as to the role being played by labor rack
eteers: "The labor problem I am most worried about doesn't
get headlines and the public doesn't know what Is hap
pening. That is why it is the most dangerous of all. Through
the methods adopted, unions exploit consumers unmerci
fully, such as the teamsters who make every truck enter
ing their city take on an unnecessary man who gets $9
a day for doing no work; electricians' unions who Insist
that, whether needed or not, a full-time electricap be hired
on any construction Job using temporary power or light; -milk
drivers' unions who prohibit selling milk at lower
cost to consumers willing to buy It at stores; and other
equally Incredible examples of unions telling consumers
what and from whom they can buy and how much they
must pay, and ruining the small business men."
"I can find no evidence that labor wants this sort of
thing, but 'when Individuals do protest, unscrupulous
leaders have ways of punishing them.' I ran cite the ex
ample of two union members in their fifties, who being
dissatisfied with the management of their union, had pro
tested, and were expelled and persecuted by the union to
the extent of being unable to find work again. Some
unions are making big money out of fees for working
permits and exorbitant admission fees. This sort of thing
is not democracy. It must not be allowed to spread."
Vichy Versus Brenner Pass
The 10th meeting of Hitler and II Duce at the
Brenner Pass gets the headlines, but as far as the fate
of the Mediterranean and northern Africa is con
cerned, probably the more important gathering yes
terday took place at Vichy, France.
General Weygand, commander of the Vichy
forces in north Africa, flew over there for a con
ference with Petain and Darlan and the decision
reached was in all liklihood, momentous.
FOR if Weygand should decide to follow out the
Darlan "line" and defend French Africa, against
attack from ANY SOURCE, while the Churchill pro
gram, as suggested in the latest press dispatches is
carried out; then an ultimate clash between French
and British forces in Africa would seem inevitable.
And the result could scarcely fail to be, throwing
the Vichy government into the arms of Hitler as an
out and out allv of the axis.
(X$ the other band, if the conference resulted in
vf General Weygand's refusal to wage war against
France's former ally, under any circumstances, this
would amount to the downfall of Darlan. and the
joining of retain and Weygand, in the maintenance
of a strictly hands-off policy as far as further partici
pation in the Second World war, on one side or the
other, is concerned.
And such a course would be of tremendous as
sistance to Britain. For England, for the first time
in the present war, has beaten Germany to the punch,
and as Germany gets farther and farther from her
air bases and bases of supply, has driven the pro
German forces out of Iraq.
IN' other words, France really holds the balance of
power, in this struggle for the Mediterranean, in
its present super-critical stage.
What was decided at Vichy, rather than at the
Brenner Pass, will in all probability, decide the im
mediate fate of the British Empire in the Near East.

ALL THAT GINCVITI8
Since the contumelious con
ductor of this column quietly
and cowardly dropped his one-
man movement
to persuade
practitioners of
dentistry to ac
cept the title
"Dentor" to in
dicate their pro
f e s s I o n , and
leave exclusive
ly to practition
ers of medicine
the title "Doc

been a remark-
BDie Increase In
the extent of correspondence
with practitioners of dentistry,
and a still more remarkable im
provement in the temper and
tone of this correspondence.
Considering all the roily water
that has gone over the dam the
conductor feels quite human
about the whole thing.
Many dentists tell me It is
scandalous the way some pric
titioners abuse surgery in the
treatment of interstitial gingi
vitis. Now wait I'm trying to
interpret for you, not airing my
erudition. When a dentist says
"Interstitial gingivitis" he means
a slowly developing or chronic
inflammation of the gums (gin
giva is Latin for gum) which is
deep-seated, involving the struc
tural substance of the gums as
well as the surface covering
But such chronic gum tender
ness, swelling, spronginess.
bleeding and perhaps shrinkage
does not necessarily mean that
the patient has pyorrhea, these
dentists insist, and In any case
they maintain, it Is seldom ad
visable to excise gum tissues or
to destroy gum tissue by electro
coagulation, as some dentists do
If the patient is naive enough to
believe pyorrhea can be "re
moved" in that way.
Incision of the gum tissue or
electro-coagulation is occasion-
ally necessary to Insure drainage
of a pus-pocket which cannot be
cleaned out and kept clean by
conservative treatment. This is
incidental to the systematic treat
ment given by the dentist ot
regular Intervals over a suf
ficient period of time, and the
dally treatment of the mouth
and gums by the patient himself
or herself under the dentist a in
struction, and the constitutional
treatment prescribed bv the nhv-
slcian in cooperation and con
sultation with the dentist.
Gingivitis means gum inflam

Defense Output
It Disappointing
Three Million
Starve in Europe
U. S. Disappoints
Foe of Nazis
By John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, June 3.
Insiders, the men who know,
are disappointed in the short
age of production for national
defense and munitions for the
British. The government has
dished out billions of dollars in
orders and only a small produc
tion has resulted yet. Produc
tion, at the moment, is far be
hind the schedule tanks came
last month for the first time,
a few samples. A great pressing
need is ships, and the west
coast yards have been tied up
by strikes. There have been
scores of strikes holding up de
fense orders, and the strikers
have been aware of what their
attitude means to national de
fense It is the opinion of many
in Washington that organized
workers place their union ahead
of the country.
The American people are not
being given the facts on the
sinking of American supplies
en route to England. There has
been much talk of paving Davy
Jones' locker with American
goods, but so far as can be
learned only eight such cargoes
have been lost out of some 200.
The British refuse to give the
information, claiming it a "mili
tary secret," although the Ger
mans know what ships and
what tonnage have been de
stroyed, for it is Germany that
destroys them. Aside from
bombers and airplanes, the only
munitions the English have re
ceived thus far are old En
field rifles, old 75 m.m. can
non, old tanks and old ammu
nition; the new material has not
been manufactured yet; held up
by strikes, largely.
...
THERE are literally three
millions of women and children
in conquered Europe who are
starving, actually starving. The
British have refused the re
quest of the Americans to send
food to these hungry people on
the theory that by mass starva
tion of innocent victims these
sufferers will be turned against
Germany. Some of the high
command In America are will
ing to trail along with the Brit
ish on this blockade, but senti
ment Is increasing in the United
States that the hungry must be
fed; that it is inhuman to not
send food when this country has
a surplus and they predict that
if the United States withholds
food some day there will be
retribution. What the British
fail to recognize is that starving
Europe is hating the English for
preventing America sending
food. As a matter of fact, the
only country friendly with the
British is the United States; the
only country captured by the
British (through propaganda) is
the United States.
Only two shiploads of food
were permitted to go to France,
then the Vichy government be
came suspect and no food has
been sent since. From New
Zealand cabinet officers ar
rived in the national capital last
week. They wanted munitions,
were given munitions, or rather
the right to order them. From
Ireland came a government rep
resentative, called at the White
House, asked the president for
munitions, but instead of wea
pons two carloads of food went
to Ireland, which Is not starv
ing and did not ask for food.
Ireland could have munitions if
it would give the British bases,
but Ireland intends remaining
neutral.
