The womenfolks, out' of clg

Dtoes. in many spots. The "fern
nine influence" is apt to bring
out pipe styles ' that look like
their hats, with a lipstick In the
stem. If they are careless like
the men, who put lighted pipes
In their pockets, they will be
traipsing down the street, with
a peck-size handbag on tire.

'Why does Butts look sad?
The reason Is plain. He had a
prize turkey almost as large as
any condor. It was the delight
of his eye, In fact of both of
them, and he had often In
gazing at his favorite bird let
his thoughts wander to the

Sweden and Germany plan
"to enter into an exchange -of
opinions" on how Swedish inter
ests In the Baltlo can be com
sidered. Inasmuch, as Russia will
have the main say in the Baltic,
when the shooting ends, this Is
a waste of opinions. The "ex
change of opinions" is quite a
drop for the Swedes. Through
two world wars, professing a
' great love of peace, and neutral
ity, they waxed prosperous, sell
ing munitions and other needs
of war to Germany.. .

total destruction of the Jap's false incarnation of a God
who rules the universe is insufficient. Jap children are
taught to die for the emperor. Hang the emperor, I say,
and kill the hokus-pokus divinity of the 124th square
domed crack-pot burr-head descendant of the sun goddessl
The above is from a statement by James R. Young,
author of "Behind the Rising Sun" and "The Road
to Tokyo" as a part of the "Wake Up America"
series, conducted by the American Economic founda
tion of New York City.
" It is a tvnical example of modern war psychology.
At the close of World War No. I, even Premier Lloyd
George joined in the demand that the late Kaiser be
hung and all older boys and girls will recall the popu
lar Civil War ditty "We will hang Jeff Davis to a
sour-apple treel" .

CMPEROR Hirohito moreover probably had no
- more to do with the starting of this war and its
subsequent conduct, than the King of Siam. For the
Emperor is merely a living symbol as far as the gov
ernment of Japan is concerned. To hang him would
make him a national martyr, far more potent an in
fluence over the people of Japan dead, than alive.
NO, let the fire-eaters and witch-burners like James
R. Young have their rhetorical fling while the
fighting is on. It does no good, except as an emotional
safety valve, but on the other hand perhaps does little
if any harm. ,
Finally when the fighting has ended, and peace

time, wiser counsels and saner judgments will prevail.
.Thanksgiving KB. Broadcast
So manv inauiries have come, to this office, par
ticularly from those "in outlying districts who have
been unable to get tickets, as to whether Or not there
would be a broadcast of the big Thanksgiving Day
game with Gresham that the Mail Tribune has ar
ranged for such a broadcast starting shortly before
the 2 p. m. kick-off Thursday afternoon.
For the real football fan hearing a play-by-play
broadcast is no satisfactory substitute f.or being there
in the grand stand or on the side lines but it is a
lot better than nothing; and everything points to the
fact the game wil be a "sell-out" longv before the
whistle blows.
This broadcast has been arranged therefore, in the
nature of a public service by this newspaper. K.M.E.D.
is generously cooperating by contributing half the
time while the Mail Tribune purchases the remaining
half. ' -

F. D. R. and Wages
When the war ends and in Europe at least it can't
last very much longer the
try will be inflation.
Nothing will contribute
a rapid increase in wages

rapid increase, of prices adds up to inflation.

IN other words the pressure upon that "great friend
of American labor" just returned to the White
House for four more years, is going to be tremendous.
As Chairman Vinson declares:
"We can not afford to relax our efforts. So long as the
war absorbs half our production we must hold prices at
their present level in order to preserve the purchasing
power of the workers' pay envelope." ' ,
. . a a
ABSOLUTELY true. What does an. increase in
" wages profit if the purchase price-level ia-there-by
increased in even greater proportion?
On the other hand of course, if wages are kept
down, prices the cost of living must be kept down.
It is a terrific task.
The attitude President Roosevelt finally takes to
ward it will pretty clearly demonstrate, whether he is
to be primarily the statesman or the politician for the
next four years.

WALLLACE OFFERS
JOBS AFTER WAR
Chicago, Nov. 21 (U.PJ Vice
President Henry A. Wallace told
the convention of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations today
that "possibly a -modification of
tax laws" would aid in obtain
ing a post-war employment goal
of 60,000,000 jobs in America.
"Large old concerns must be
prevented from increasing al
ready over-large pools of dead
capital," he said. '
"Vital young concerns must be
given an incentive to employ
more People. Little men with big
ideas must be given a chance to
employ labor. To meet this prob
lem means that the post-war.
daring overall concept must be
put promptly to work. Without
such concept vigorously carried
out, some form of government
socialism is a certainty."
During his address, Wallace
was interrupted several times by
the crowd of 2,000. chantine
"Wallace in '48."
Wallace urged labor to stay
in politics and warned that "If
we lose on the Jobs front there
is serious danger that we shall
also lose on the permanent peace
front." v
Earlier Lt. Gen. Brehon Som
ervell, commander of the army
service forces, told the conven
tion that 100,000 workers are
needed in war plants producing
essential fighting equipment,

Washington, Nov. 21-(U.R)-t-The
house turned today to con
sideration of a measure to re
vive the federal crop Insurance
program with no serious opposi
tion expected from the members
who succeeded in killing it last
spring. '
House leaders believed the
bill, sponsored by the late Chair
man Hampton P. Fulmer of the
house - agriculture committee,
would be approved and sent to
the senate 'ate today or tomor
row. Both political parties have
endorsed proposals to reinstate
the program.
Under the federal crop Insur
ance act, wheat had been insured
for flv,e years and cotton for
two by 2,100,000 farmers before
congress eliminated the program
from 1944 agriculture depart
ment funds.
Opposition developed because
of losses suffered by the gov
ernment insurance corporation.
Indemnities totaling approxi
mately $80,000,000 were paid to
588,000 farmers compared with
about $52,000,000 in premiums
received.

Industrial production of the
United States and Canada in
