At any rate the matter deserves serious consideration immediately Certainly, should the steamshiv operators sign such | an agreement, they would be engaging in a conspiracy to destroy the much needed safeguards that the law has erected for the benefit of industry as well as the public at large The Juneau longshoremen’s attitude has been a “public be damned” attitude deserve no sympathy. Even though other locals have taken the attitude that boats loaded in Seattle before the strike should be unloaded in Alaska, the Juneau union still refuses to take freight off the Lucidor, which arrived in Juneau before the strike started, and the Alaska, loaded before the strike bldl’l(‘d all along Conscience Cases ‘\Nashmgmn Post) Of the 16,000 persons sent to prison during and after the war for violation of the Selective Service law, all but about 800 are now at liberty. Many of those released from prison are at liberty, however, on parole; and nearly all have suffered a loss of civil rights that severely handicaps them in the pursuit of a | career. In most States they may not hold public office or be licensed for certain occupations. The full privi- | leges of American citizenshiv can be restored to them only if the President grants them amnesty for the crime of which the\ were found guil lout of your clot!

B use there is great variety among the cases involved, the board has deemed it wise to review all 16,000 and to make a single recommenda- tion, when it has done this, covering them all. It has been estimated that some 1500 of the 16,000 are genuine conscience cases; this is to say that the men involved | disobeyad the law not on account of fear, caprice or \Im personal advantage but because conscientious wcrupl(\ however mistaken, forbade their performance |of what the law required. Tt has never seemed to us | that these men should have been allowed with impunity ito defy an act of Congress which made reasonable |allowance for their scruples. We have long argued however, that the vindictiveness and wastefulness of the treatment accorded them by Selective Servic2 which |administered the Civilian Pubilc Service camps to ‘which they were assigned goaded them to violation {and that the courts tended to mete out to them ex- | cessive punishment About 4500 of the cases involve Jehovah's Wit- | nesses who claimed exemption from the law on the | ,ground that they were ministers of the gospel. Al- though we do not belicve there is any moral or intel- | lectual justification for this stand, we think these { people are rather more to be pitied than blamed and | that, in any case, they have probably suffered punish- ment enough for their peculiarly irrational intransi- |geance. The rest, approximately 10000, are largely wilful violators—draft dodgers—whose conduct seems less entitled to generosity. The task of the Presi- dent’s board is to deal with these cases discriminat- ingly, and it is a task which cannot be hurried. We hope. however, that it will be completed as speedily e~ as justice permits and that justice will be tempered |1V with mercy. It is interesting to recall that as long as January, Dr. George Gallup reported that 69 per cent of the American people favored releasing conscientious objectors from prison; and even 61 per cent of the veterans questioned gave the same response. Surely there is indication here that a presidential amnesty Yet the fact remains that Juneau Jong- would have the backing of a general forgiveness—at plans {least for those who erred through conscience. What a Checkbook! (Cincinnati Enguirer: a pres ous balance in his checkbook stub, and wrestling with figures that some- times—briefly, after pay day—run into hundrads, John Citizen should get a vicarious thrill from a thoughtful reading of the news of President Truman's activities for the business day of June 30. That, by chance, was Struggling to achieve | appropriation bills. No doubt the President has a checkbook of his own for his own private outlays. But on occasions he acts | for all of us, and signs bills which put a strain on the national checkbook. June 30 was such an occasion. The expenditures he authorized by signing his name five times add up to a figure that stuns the imagina- tion—nearly $16,000,000,000. This tidy sum represents annual supply bills for the War Department, the independent offices (mostly | the Veterans Administration), the Agriculture De- | partment, the diverse outlays for economic aid to na- tions overseas. In the aggregate, these items come to almost half the total ear-marked for expenditure in | the current fiscal year. No doubt anyone carrying the respousiviiities o! | high office in Washington develops a protective, cal- lous indifference to gigantic sums of money. It would never do if a President paused, in the signing of ap- | propriations totaling $16,000,000,000, to ponder phil- | osophically on how long he would have to work, at 1 $1.50 an hour with a 40-hour week, to earn the money | he is spending. (Something over 5,000,000 years.) And still we can't help wondering what Mr. Tru- man’s feelings were, after a laborious day of signing | appropriation bills, if he reflected at aili on the magni- | tude of the government he heads. For it is awesome to contemplate the staggering immensity of the pro- ductive power of a nation of peovle that can finance |such common expenditure and still enjoy the world’s | highest standard of hvmg with whats left over. toasts are offered, abstainer Sta- lin drinks only water.
