Religious resignation is the putting of God between suffering and _ oneself. The dying pope is giving an edifying ex- ample of this Christian resignation in his last hours. It is said there is nothing new under the sun, but when Edward VIII abdicated, it was probably the first time that a king cast aside his crown for a “rag and a bone and a hank of hair.” That wasn’t a bread line you saw de- picted in the Miami Tribune. It was a bunch of prospective buyers of real estate who waited all night to secure choice pieces of a section of land offered for sale in Miami Beach. A few years ago a bapk entitled “There Were Hot Afternoons in . Mon- tana” won a Guild prize. Afternoons are not so hot in Mantana now, for the tem- perature the other day went down to 70 degrees below zero. aes Thousands upon thousands of smudge pots were used in California in an effort to create a temperature that would keep the citrus fruit from freezing, but regardless 25 per centuia of the fruit was frozen, which represents about the profit the growers would have made if the freeze had not occurred, ri@ & Mrs. James A.

Joe Moran, who was her first hus- band, once gave Kim, as she is familiarly known to her friends, a million dollars when she came back to him after they'd had a little spat. Ajfter Kim kissed and made up, Joe said it was the one time in his life he got his money’s worth. Then she married Max Baniberger, of the New- ark, N. J. Bamberger Bros., and after re- ducing him from 216 to 146 pounds, she tossed him out of her life for good. Now it is the California oil man’s turn. Who’s next.

The cargoes carried by the vessels when they entered port have not been unloaded, for the strike involves not only the seamen and others with ship operations, but includes the longshoremen, without whose services the ships cannot be unloaded.

For years the United States has been endeavoring to ouiid up a merchant marine capable of compet- ing with the carriers of other nations. Now, because of the failure to settle the difficulty, much o1 what it has taken years to gain has been lost. Practically the only ships sailing in and out of the Los Angeles harbor, which ordinarily is second only. to New York in volume of business, are Japanese vessels. A vast Amezican commerce on the Pacific has virtually been taken over by the Japanese, and a few others. What is just as important as this is the fact that American manufactur- ers are finding it difficult to fill foreign orders. Every such order which can- not be delivered because of the strike means that much gcin for foreign is recognized and settled to their satisfaction, There has recently been added the issue of vertical union organization. Apparently some of the strike leaders wish to take advantage of the situa- Senator Morris Sheppard, of Texas, author of the Eighteenth amendment, is what one would call consistent and an ex- ample of perseverance in the pursuit of an ideal. Every year, on the 16th of January, he makes an anniversary speech on the ratification of the amendment, since re- pealed, and predicts the return of prohibi- tion. Now sixty-one years of age, with thirty-seven years of congressional service to his credit, the Texan does not bite his tongue in flaying repeal promises con- trasted with present results, He calls the distilled and fermented liquors stored in government warehouses, “Misery in storage! Crime on deposit! Murder in reserve! and “Hell warehoused for the future destruction of mankind!” Again he has introduced a resolution for And don’t know what it’s about, the re-enactment of the prohibition amend- ‘Don’t be awed by fancy talkers, ment which he predicts he will live to see BEE He gut! : try. bess" Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady spent two months on the Pacific Coast, attempt- ing, first to prevent the strike, and then to settle it, the end is not in sight. Meanwhile, it is the public that suffers, Mayor Rossi of San Fran- cisco was correct when he said re- cently that the strike hac become a national emergency. It is high time to arbitrate. The employers have indi- cated their willingness to do this. Let the strikers also agree in order that the public might be freed from hard- ships unnecessarily i=_posed.
