Site for a World Capital | (New York Times) days of air transportation approaching ound the new “world capital” where the agencies will be set up could be made Jmost anywhere except in the polar |regions. There still rémains the problem of where it could be most suitably located. Philadelphia has had her say nd there are historic points in her favor. Now what is termed a “discreet” campaign has been | | undertaken on behalf of some point near San Fran- | | the speed of United Natic accessible 50; | cisco. The arguments here are appealing. Except for coastal fogs, which can be avoided by moving a bit |inland, northern California has a more tolerable | climate than any great world capital, including The Hague and Geneva. On the air map Fairbanks | Alaska, is niore on the direct line of travel, but its climate would not suit most of us so well The San Francisco region has another advantage, though Europeans may not regard it as such. It looks out on what is now and is likely to be for a long time the world's most critical ocean. The West and |the East meet there more truly than at Suez. The | billows that breauk on the Seal Rocks may transmit the belated shock of a typhgon in the China Sea. | The ther, as all readers of George Stewart’s {“Storm” will remember, comes from that direction. | The political and economic weather for generations |in the future may come from that direction, too, and | the world capital must be able to control it, as natural | weather cannot be controlled. | The immediate problem is not where the United Nations meet but what they are able to accomplish They did accomplish something at San Francisco and might do more in that neighborhood. Let other cities | speak up, but let this candidacy be made a matter of | record | Prisoner Laborers (Washington Post) Such little informaticn as we have concerning |the employment of German and Italian prisoners of war is of a cenflicting nature. Some reports indicate |that they have done satisfactory work; others that | they soldier on the job. Much depends on the firm- ness and competence with which prisoner groups are (handled, since no man, regardless of race or tionality, is going to put forth his full effort in a state of servitude. However, the quartering in the United States of many thousands of Germans and Italian | prisoners of war has undoubtedly been a great help |in relieving time labor shortages. By that same token the repatriation of these prisoners will afford opportunities for reemployment to thousands of dis- placed warworkers. Undersecretary of War Patterson states that |among the 400,000 German and Italian prisoners of war now in the United States those available for work are engaged on military, naval, industrial and agricultural projects. - In view of the War Depart- ment’s intention to return these prisoners to their homes at the earliest possible moment, the United States Employment Service has been advised to com- municate with employers and urge the taking of steps to replas h labor. Repatriation is bound to be a fairly long-drawn-out proceeding, for reasons pointed out by the War Depament. Shortage of shipping | for transport is a major bottleneck. Even if there were enough ships to move the prisoner army within | a brief period, Germany and Italy would not be able | to absorb them under existing disorganized conditions. | A third factor influencing the rate of return of | prisoners, i. e, the possible need for prison labor in this countr is noted by the War Department. It is a factor that will, we trust, play no part in determ- | ining tk te of release of prisoners of war. The | principles individual liberty in which we profess to believe would become a mockery if we were to hold | such prisoners in peacetime servitude for our own | convenience, During the war and until such time as transpertation home becomes possible we can properly | insist that prisoners of war should render service in | exchange for their keep and custody. But there is no | excuse for prolonging their detention and exacting ! any decisive chang in fora policy. Britain has consistently ad- in France, and the losers, too: because the returning soldier, at hered to a pretty well formulated | the Hohenzollerns, the Hapsburgs this moment, is pretty sore at foreign policy for almost 300 years. and the Romanoffs. | union delays. However, it is reasonable to expect a greater sympathy on the part of the British Foreign Office for the movement left of center than with the Kings and Tories the expiring government supported.
