ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER pvuucrnon NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash. OUR ENEMIES, THE GERMANS Emil Ludwig, historian and student of world af- fairs, believes that most Americans are in a danger- ous error about the enemy they are fighting. According to a recent poll, 79 percent of us still believe that the German government, rather than the German people, is our chief enemy points out that the Allies are supposed to be fight- ing against the Nazis rather than the German people. Have been leading Americans to believe this. Ludwig says that the German people, them- selves, are convinced that they are in the right, that | the Kaiser was right, Hitler is right, that as a na- tion they have the right and call to world domination This attitude, he is built upon that they love obedience rather than liberty. For many centuries they have accepted the rule of a military caste which excluded the people from the affairs of governmnt. Germany became a nation where intellect and government were set apart from each over —never combining. The intelligentsia not only accepted this state of affairs, but were happy in it After the German defeat in 1918, Ludwig says, the German people were unhappy when they were called upon to govern their own affairs. When a new adventurer--Hitler—came along to play the part of “national boss” they were happy Ludwig also says that not the slightest against Hitler has been seen in Germany All of this may be true—but there are reasons to doubt it. We know that there is a great difference between a pre-Hitler German and modern one We know that there is a great deal of difference between one of Hitler's Nazis and German-born and raised person who has migrated to the United States. Here, the German-American doesn't seem says revolt a a i same attitude. Ludwig | set out for | the fact| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA lunhappy about being given a voice in his government We must also remember that out of the 470,000,- 000 _of Germans, there are many in exile, concen- tration camps and many Germans who remain silent who are the type of German Ludwig land safe not describes. To End Made Work (New York Times) McNutt declares that his newly War Manpower Commission 1S now ration scarce labor.” It is important to keep in mind, however, that some of the present scarcity of labor is artificial. Artificial restrictions jon the labor supply ought to be removed before we come to labor rationing. Among the most serious of these artificial re- strictions are those imposed by many union make- work practices. These either insist upon the trans- fer of work from one labor group to another or re- quire the performance of more work than is reason- ably necessary in doing the job. Testifying on behalf of the Department of Justice before the T.N.E.C. in March, 1941, Corwin Edwards cited innumerable ex- amples of such practices. The electrical union in New York City was charged with refusal to install Director strengthened prepared to “r electrical equipment made outside New York State | except on condition that the equipment be dis- assembled and reassembled at the job site.

In various |cities the electrical union reguires that if any tem- !porary light or power is to be used on a construction {job there must be a full-time maintenance elec- trician, who shall not be permitted to do any elec- Itrical construction work. This rule, according to !Mr. Edwards, “often involves the hiring of a maa who spends his day reading or playing solitaire and does nothing except throw a switch at the beginning Nobody can oppose union rules that safe the worker against excessive burdens and excessive ‘s])(’(‘d But the kind of rules just cited are uv\ {product of a depression psychology and of false eco- | nomic theories. any reduction in the number of hours of labor. quired to produce a particular result.
