In a recent fireside chat, President Roosevelt told Americans that if they worked for wages, they would have to go without higher wages in their particular jobs for the duration of the war, But in spite of this assurance, reports coming out of the nation’s capital indicate that the entire wage situation remains confused and unsettled. State- ments from Chairman William H. Davis of the War Labor Board imply that the board does not believe that the President’s reference to wages places a ceil- ing on existing levels. Yet many economists point out that it will be difficult to prevent consumer prices frem creeping up unless some method is found for preventing wage increases We think they can go farther than that, and say that existing high levels cannot be reduced to fit nor- mal incomes unless exorbitant wages being paid on defense projects are cut down to a reasonable level Surely to the calls of fancy wages in order to stay in the niche where he is most needed should mot have to pay more for this war than the next man.

But the shot up to where they had to be clamped down on was because more purchasers nad more money to bid for available products. High wages forced the prices up.

Belonging to me these circus problems with John and Henry North, owners of Ringling Brothers, Roosevelt asked how they were affected by wartime railroad transportation. Then, be- fore they could answer, he added: “Of course, you have your own equipment and all you need to do is hire an engine.” In other words, the chief rail- yoad problem today is cars: and if you have your own cars it is not difficult to get an engine to haul them Roosevelt also congratulated the Nerth brothers on doing such a swell job in spite of the war. . Procession DRAFTEE SAILORS Navy bigwigs have decideu that voluntary enlistments are not suf- ficient to meet the Navy's rapidly growing manpower needs; so by September at the latest, Selective Service will be tapped for new sail- ors. Gobs will be drawn from the| draft lists just as soldiers are now ‘The Navy's manpower problem is pecoming sericus.

What happens this; week or next on the Russian front will mean much more in the winning of the war than unrest report- ed in Munich or Naples. Alvin J. Steinkopf, Associzted Press corpespon- dent, writes of the hardships endured by the Ger- mans and of their discouragement as they hear Hit- talk of a third winter of war. But he warns: “It weuld be idle to assume that the lack of many things of ordinary living comfort | means the nation is on the verge of collapse.” George Axelsson, Philadelphia Record-New York | Times Foreign Service correspondent, tells of the Ger- attacks. But he warns: “A gloomy German is by no means a beaten German, and the motto ‘We must win’ should still be assumied to typify the German state | of mind regardless of worries over the many present | difficulties, including those worries caused by the propaganda of the opponent.” | Gri hardships and greater discouragement | are reported from Italy.

And one of the main secrets of the long and effective resistance to the Japanese invaders by the forces of free China is the marvelous ability of the Chinese to keep up some semblance of war industry under the most primitive and trying conditions. Small arms by the thousands are being turned out by Chinese guerilla workshops, operating within | actual gunshot of the enemy. The United China Re- lief says that hundreds of small cooperatives are working in conjunction with the Chinese army, mak- ing rifles, hand grenades, pistols, and ammunition, and repairing weapons capturcd from the Japanese. These front-line shops are portable affairs, cap- ible of being dismantled and carried away on an| hour's notice. They consist of a 200 or 300 pound fur- nace to smelt scrap metal, and a few crude finishing tools. Tt takes 16 man days to make a pistol on the average but the Chinese workers are persevering. Fre- quently the Chinese will provoke a Japanese artillery | barrage by shooting off firecrackers or rifles in order to obtain, scrap for their work. Hlmmkr In Holland (New York Times) Heinrich Himmler has taken a modest pride in his record as Germany’s official murderer. He has more corpses to his credit than any man alive except ! | Hitler. Now Hitler has sent him to Holland. The| Germans there have just shot ninety-six people and taken 460 others as hostages. But Himmler will try to do better. By gibbet, block and rifle he will at- tempt to restore a terror the Dutch have not known since the d of the Duke of Alva. The work of the Gestapo chief has not been fully publicized in this country. It began among his own people when he prepared the list of 397 names for Hitler’s first blood purge. During the war he has had mass practice in a dozen subject countries. The roll of his victims numbers tens of thousands. Yet even Himmler, immersed in his own business as he is, must see that all Europe is in revolt. Scme of it is already in arms. Even helpless Denmark is not completely cowed. A Copenhagen court has just sentenced two anti-Semitic editors to jail. Defiance will not die. Himmler and his pupil, Reinhard Hey- drich, have done their best; but the very victims they Himmler system, which worked so well in Germany, can never subdue people who have once known free- dom. ory strength still will throw its very potent weight on Capitol Hill behind the move- or taking draftées /ment to lower the draft age from 1g elaborate plans| 21 to 18 or 19.

It was expected that six teams would participate in the baseball program and invitations had been extended to the teams of Haines, Skagway the Unalgh and the Explorer. Three hundred dollars in prize money was being offered for the tournament and an additional $300 for prizes in aquatic events between the Unalga and Explorer crews. Judge T. M. Reed and other members of the U. S. District Court party, who had been in Ketchikan for several weeks, left there for Wran- gell and after a short stay there for naturalization hearings they were to continue to Juneau headquarters.
