Dunning, 1011 SEATTLE REPRESENTATIVE American Bank Building SALVATION ARMY APPEAL Men out of luck know the Salvation Army for what it the helpless. For many years this army of peace has been carrying its works of goodness and mercy to the poor of this city. Those whom it aids never have to ask twice. The Salvation Army should not have to ask twice for the money it needs to fill out its annual budget. Volunteer workers are now busy paign to raise this sum. The little because it is resourceful with the cam- Army asks for and largely self- supporting. Experience gathered in branches all over the world, except in totalitarian countries,; which bar its humanitarian efforts, have made it one of the most direct and resourceful agencies of | relief. All who know Adjutant Stanley Jackson and his wife are confident of their ability to make every dollar do the work of two in the good cause to which they have dedicated their lives. Even a dollar goes a long way in their trust- worthy hands. Contributions may be mailed to the is—friend of the destitute and helper of| 50/ | follow.” | | | devoted to cargo planes, under all sorts of weather conditions, clearly mdl- | cate the physical possibilities of transporting cargo by air, Already the holds of airliners in the States are | crammed to capacity with goods destined for fac- | tories at work on war materials. Time savings that range from several days to a week or more are ef- | fected by air rather than surface shipment. The constantly expanding list of goods for ordinary com- merce now carried by wings is capable of much greater enlargement., Plans are under consideration for airports to be including a large terminus at Jersey City, where the proximity of eight rail- roads and good dock facilities would assure ease of transshipment. The action of the “big four” air- lines in undertaking this survey points ahead to an important development for air transport in the days of peace. § The Coast Sets an Inspiring Example (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) The “no strike, no lockout” agreement reached in San Francisco by all interests concerned in the Pacific Coast shipbuilding industry is a tremendous stride forward in the quest of national unity. The specific clause assuring peaceful conduct of this vital American industry, as approved by rep- resentatives of management, labor and the Federal Government with every confidence of its ultimate ac- ceptance, reads: “There shall be no lockouts on the part of the employer or suspension of work on the part of the employees. “This agreement is a guaranty that there will be neither strikes nor lockouts and that all disputes will |be settled by arbitration as hereinafter provided.” This is one of the most heartwarming advances in American economic and social thinking in our national history. It comes at a time when the nation is confront- ed by grave international perils, but also unfortu- nately and distressingly at a time when many in- | dustries important to national defense are unsettled and disrupted by labor controversies. Thus it is pointedly true, as Dr. Isador Lubin, at- tending the San Francisco conference as a personal representative of Associate Director Sidney Hillman of the Office of Production Management, commented: “Here on the Pacific Coast a pattern is being cut which the rest of the nation will be eager to The noteworthy results of that conference are the PATTERN of the peace and unity which our whole country, all its industries, all its labor or- ganizations and its entire people must now utilize for the shaping of our natonal effort. The shipbuilding industry of the Pacific Coast because of its almost inestimable importance is a particularly happy choice for the setting of this inspiring example. That it is among the first, if not the very frst, of our major American industries to close its ranks, voluntarily and enthusiastically and completely, Salvation Army, Juneau, Alaska, or a telephone call |against dissension and controversy is a splendid to 254 will bring a worker to pick up the donationi |ever their interests, to put a common effort into a to this worthwhile cause. FLY CARGO The story of the heavy but necessary piece of machinery arriving at scme remote mining camp in Alaska by plane is now an old one. ing has been a boon to the Territory, saving preci- ous days and weeks out of the limited working sea- son on many occasions. But a more general use of this mode of transportation is certain in the future. Looking ahead to the problem of using aircraft manufacturing facilities when the demands of re- armament have been met, four of the major domes- tic airlines—American, Eastern, have formed a corporation for the study of air ex-| press and air freight, as distinct from the passenger- carrying business. Many students of aviation have long believed that eventually the mainstay of civil air transport| The Air Transport would be the carriage of cargo. Association, ef which the four airlines are members, holds that after the war the flying of freight will become a far larger industry than at present.

Here is the refutation we have been waiting for of the contemptuous foreign attitude toward our capacities for defense production, as typified by the sarcastic Italian writer, Virginio Gayda, who inter- preted our plague of strikes to mean! “Growing popular agitation shows a division of interests and spirits in the United States and creates an expressive new phenomenon in which coming events will reveal new elements.” Let us, as good Americans, in industry and labor and throughout the ranks of our loyal citizenry, now and forever refute foreign disparagement of our abil- ity to unite for our defense. Let us put the San Francisco PATTERN OF UN- ITY into practice in all our vital industries, and conduct ourselves as loyally and energetically and democratically as freemen determined to preserve and perpetuate the very institutions of their liberty. Let us present to the whole world the only pic- ure of American effort that is truly characteristic of American life—a picture of a free people living to- gether peaceably and working together cooperatively and harmoniously. We expect any moment to hear from Col. Lind- bergh that it is also possible to get along with or- | ganized labor. war itself has prepared the way for this industry | Senator Wheeler says he dislikes the Nazis as much as anyone.

FRANKLIN STREET AL BOWLING | Wathington : Merry- Go-Round (Oondnued from Page Oue) went home after the lend-lease bill to address a joint session of the Oklahoma Legislature in defense of the measure. Orator Lee carried the legislators with him. When he had finished, the entire group rose to its feet in thunderous applause. But back in Washington a friend asked Lee how he liked his trip home, and got this answer: “I liked it fine,” he said. “You know, my boy Bob got all scrubbed up clean in my honor!” ARMY VS. OPM There was a lot more to the Presi- dent’s statement of dissatisfaction with Defense production than ap- peared on the surface. What the President knew but did not mention was that there had been sharp clashes between OPM production chiefs and Secretary of War Stimson over the placing of lend-lease contracts. To insiders Roosevelt’s statement was notice that he was siding with his Repub- lican Secretary of War. The undercover dispute started when the $7,000,000,000 lend-lease appropriation was still pending in Congress. Without waiting for *he bill to be passed, Stimson proposed sending out “letters of intent” to various manufacturers cooperating with the British Purchasing Com- mission. They had been negotiating for $150,000,000 worth of small arms and quartermaster supplic and Stimson wanted to advise the piants to start work on the orders at once. This procedure was followed by the Army last spring when the first big defense program was before Con- gress, But when OPM production moguls got wind of Stimson’s plan they let out a loud squawk, rushed to the War Department to urge him to desist. The ensuing conference was hot and vehement. OPM officials demanded that Stimson hold up the British orders until August, on the ground that if placed immediately their impact on U. S. industry would upset the machine tool program. The British had been dickering with plants not engaged in defense work, which would require considerable re-tool- ing to handle the prdposed orders. Stimson replied that he knew all this, but the risk of a temporary hitch in the machine tool set-up would have to be taken because it was vital to get production under way for Britain and her allies at once. Ordinarily quiet spoken, Stim- son declared with forceful emphasis that he intended to go ahead with his plans to send out the “letters of intent.” OPM officials hotly retorted that they would take up the matter with the President as soon as he returned from his fishing cruise. With a grim smile, Stimson cordially invited them to do that. What he didn't tell them, a secret between him and Roosevelt, was that he was acting with the President’s full approval. NAZI MEDITERRANEAN LAKE Tell-tale signs accumlate that the next big Hitler drive is to make the Mediterranean an Axis Lake. The most obvious, of course; is Hitler's unconcealed plan to launch sub- marine and bombing raids against Suez from his new base at Salonika and from the Greek islands. Secret plans for closing the other end of the Mediterranean have been evident for some time along the Spanish border, where big guns are | ready to be rushed against Gib- raltar. Most significant of these prepara- tions, however, has not leaked out. It shows how extensive are Hitler's | |ambitions around the Mediterran- ean. For some weeks now, Nazis have been busy dismantling the airplanes of General Weygand in North Africa. Every morning the French wake up to find a magneto missing from one machine, a carburetor for another. Gradually, the essential parts of this air fleet have evaporated. Hitler is taking no chances on let- ting what remains of the French air force get into British hands. There now seems to be little ques- tion that Hitler plans to take over French possessions in North Africa, together with French naval bases, as soon as the time is ripe. NOTE: U. S. military observers believe the Mediterranean will ‘be ripe first, next Russia. That is the way the Hitler time-table looks to- day.
