The latter procedure is not our way; it is not the way any other democracy. Totalitarianism goes the extremes; | democracies strike the happy medium, that 3ut the United States has of to in most cases, not struck the happy medium in the case | of disputatious labor. We strive and strive England does what it believes toe the mark, it comes dictum, “Work or fight!” That practice should have been adopt- ed in this'country on the day we went to As was pointed out in Washington ‘a few days ago, the only “striking”, our men | on the front does is against the enemy, and it was added.that they surely, would resent strikes among the folks-on the home front, because the effects of those strikes eventual- | ly would be felt ariversely on the firing line. But our government, that is to say, the | Roosevelt Administration, bor. economic life, including farmers, have beea | step-children. But labor has making labor realize we are that every American should do his duty in helping win that war, it has made labor de- | fiant. An apt illustration of that attitude may be found in the nursery. Children who are petted and cooed over are refractory; chil- | dren who know they will be brought.vo task if they refuse to do the things they should | do, are not orly good and obedient but help- | ful also. Labor is a spoiled child in the United States, and the government spoiled it. JAPANESE KILL WOUNDED MEN Here’s something to remember when American and Chinese soldiers occupy Ja- pan and bestir themselves, in the cause of | justice, by executing the criminals who have set a brutal record in the far East: A news dispatch from New Guinea, dated November 29, tells how Japanese air- men, with throttled motors, glided over American and Australian casualty stations, into tents filled with stretcher cases. For fifteen minutes the barbarians, in in wanton | | disregard of 18-foot red crosses staked out | ten planes, kept up the attack “ about the station.”:. The planes dived so low that. “the faces of the enemy pilots could be deen: t enakave wounded Australians, in adjoining dressin,z stations, were killed. They are a small frac- | tion or the thousands in China, Malaya, the and through Japanese treachery and callous in- humanity.
