Volume 1, No. 6 December 6, 1945 HURLEY — BURLY In China we have to confess We're involved in a terrible mess— There is no disputing That we're in there shooting Which hardly relieves the distress. Will we botch it in China, again, Same as Poland and Greece and in Spain Will we keep on a course Backing every bad horse? If we do, we are surely insane. To add to the world's hurly-burly, Wo have Gen'ral Patrick J. Hurley, Whose atomic report Seems to come from the sort Of a man who is baffled and surly. The G. O. P.'s having a feast— And Truman moved quickly, at least, Appointment of Marshall Should reduce the farcial Position we have in the East. THE DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT We have said editorially: \In principle we adhere to the Americanism, the ideas and ideals of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and our late beloved President, Franklin Delano Roose velt.\ We shall make literal reference to the teachings of these great men from time to time, because they represent to us the purest and noblest symbols of American democracy. They have expressed magnificently, ideas for which large numbers of Ameri cans have proved willing to die. Therefore, these ideas live. To the labor-management disputes of today, let us apply Abraham Lincoln's words from his annual message to Congress 1861: \Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and de serves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation be tween labor and capital producing mutual benefits.\ . . . No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty—none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned. Let them beware of surrendering a political power which they already possess, and which, if sur rendered, will surely be used to close the door of advancement against such as they, and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon them, till all of liberty shall be lost.\ President Truman should ponder well these words of Lincoln. His stand on the present strike situation will solve nothing, will alienate a large number of voters to whom the administration must look for support, and please nobody. The nation's pros perity cannot be built at the expense of either worker or em ployer, but by cooperation of both. ENFORCE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS One thing our town needs today is more rigourous enforce ment of traffic regulations. It's a common sight to see some wild indian, intoxicated by a tank-full of ration-free gasoline, tear through our limited speed zones at 50-60 mile an hour. And he's often in an over-age car with dubious brakes and thread bare tires—a hazard to all of us but especially our children. Then there's the dead-letter of the \full stop\ signs.—Here is the most beneficient traffic ordinance ever devised when it's obeyed or enforced. But ignored it is a deadly menace when two cars reach an intersection at the same instant. We read that the police force has been expanded. Couldn't some of the added personnel be assigned to this major problem before some un happy accident or fatality leaves us all wishing that some thing had been done about it before? It must be remembered that in total casualties, auto accidents in our country rank with World War II.

THE WAR AGAINST FASCISM WILL CONTINUE UNTIL EVERY NA TIVE FASCIST IN OUR LAND IS DEFEATED. Bernard Moss, Secretary The University of So. California November 28, 1945 Gentlemen: We wish to use your newspaper in connection with a special course which the School of Jour nalism conducts in community newspapers and their problems. We shall appreciate your co operation if you will send us six different issues of your publica tion. Yours very truly, Roy L. French, Director School of Journalism Ed. Mote. — Of late, there has been a great deal of local interest and discussion concerning military conscription. The folloiving is an expression of one of our readers. What do you think of it? Dear Editor: The world of 1918 was a sick old world. It had had the surgery of war applied. After the operation when the patient was on the road to recovery it was discharged, but cautioned that it must take ef fective meaasures toward a good recovery. The alternative was a much more serious operation. After its discharge, it wa r a pretty scared old world. At first it took many precautions and put forth a lot of effort. Some parts of its body tried harder than oth ers and gained a little strength but when there wasn't coopera tion from all its members, there was a general retardation in re covery. After a bit the aches and pains started again. The old world refused to take them se riously. She was advised to take measures before it was too late. But no! The old world wasn't only sick, she was lazy. She re fused to take her condition se riously. Suddely it was too late! Gang rene had set in. No time now for precautionary measures. The old world was again rushed to the operating table. The surgery of war was again applied. This time the old world came out of the operaion alive, but battered and staggering. It was far from cured. Many of its members still threat ened gangrene. It needed not only a long convalescent period, but a very effective medicine. It dare not use surgery again, for the new anesthetic which helped make this operation a success would be fatal another time. Yes, the new anesthetic, the atomic bomb. This is a fight for your life, old world. It is not a case of doing what you FEEL like doing now. You have a long, long con valescence ahead of you. And you can't just lie back and take it easy. Every one of your mem bers has to exercise and do their share too. The atmosphere sur rounding you has got to be con trolled. You have to have love and trust, good deeds as well as good intentions this time. There isn't any use pouring your money down the drain, building up your military might in preparation for more surgery. No use at all! It has always failed and next time it will be fatal. By Paul Berdanier MILITARY TRIBUNAL NOH&OING ON NOREMBER.fi WAK-GUiLT THIOLS OF NAZI There is a new and hopeful note for your future, though, old world. Are you mature enough, have you learned enough thru all your suffering to use it pro perly? It is not a simple rem edy. It isn't even completely developed yet. In the meantime you will have to build up a lot of strength to become ready for it. You have to do a lot of work to project the right atmosphere for its effective use. Just make sure while you are doing this that special yiterests and selfish in terests do not monopolize this new and powerful cure, and bind it up in patents so that it is im possible to obtain and apply to all parts of your body. There will have to be an equitable distri bution or the demands and needs of the neglected parts will set that same old disease coursing through your veins again, and for the last time. Yes, the new remedy has been developed from the forces used in the deadly anesthetic. It is atomic energy. Pour all the money you considered using tow ard building up military might for surgery into the healing bene fits of atomic energy, and tow ard providing the essential at mosphere for its use. Unfold its great humane and industrial benefits. There is your opportunity, old world. Remember surgery cannot be used again! Why spend any time contemplating it! Use all your remaining strength, money, ideas and every creative talent at your disposal toward making our en tire body strong and healthy. For this is your last chance, old world. Sure you are weak, tired, al most inert. The ravaging forces of militarism, distrust and un rest are swarming over you. But take heart, old world, for each small effort make toward a con structive end will make you stronger. This time you have no alternative. There is only one course to follow, so give it all you've got, and God will be with you. Elenore M.

TIMELY LIMERICK The poll-taxers seem to be bankin' On leaders like Bilbo and Rankin— If we can't unseat them By ballot, defeat them, Our voters deserve a good spankin' These color-line babies have fooled us, With minority-rule they have ruled us, They're very bad actors And dangerous factors To aims in which Lincoln has schooled us.
