TTERNSY Submarine work is unglamorous dangerous and hard but there is never any lack of volunteers to man the “pig boats” that are giving such a grand account of themselves in the world’s seven seas Underseas sailors must be given highly specialized training before they even set foot aboard a submarine ' At the U S navy submarine school in New London Conn they are The school teaches the men not only the given this training operations of an underseas craft and her weapons but also the technique of escape from disabled craft on the ocean floor These photos show various phases in the training of Unde Sam’s underJ water sailors SEWING CIRCLE Pattern No 20 ileevea Send Enclose 20 cent pattern desired Pattern No weather There are cross currents ahead in the new congress which are going to set the old ship rocking of conflicting moveSymbolic ments the debate of which will soon be filling the Congressional Record are these two: A proposed bill to bring labor unions into the restricting pale of legislation such as business has to contend with' under the laws and a social security program which some say will England’s new Beveridge plan That program its author Sir William Beveridge says is “in some ways a revolution” The “holiday doldrums” I mentioned were not enirely a seasonal affair this year There was the usual letdown while congress went home and the nation turned to festal There was also a prethoughts meditated lull which was necessitated by the turnover in the last election The administration knew that na matter what was done in the interim between November and January it would in some measure be undone when Democrats and the increased Republican minority got together in the new congress Stop-Ga- s Artanged Since manpower is the prime consideration of the moment a was arranged With much fanfare Manpower Commissioner McNutt was given new powers and a program was ballyhooed But it was mostly ballyhoo and just before Christmas wide publicity was given to a document which was obviously the forewarning that much stricter regimentation of labor was The in the wind but inevitable national service act raised its head again The document was a draft of a bill made by Grenville Clark an attorney who suddenly emerged as a It was anpresidential advisor nounced that he made a special trip to England to study the British manClark remained silent power setup until just before Christmas and after congress had gone home but every received a copy of the congressman proposed legislation About two weeks earlier shortly after the Beveridge report was made public a cabinet officer was heard to remark: “We’ve got to get busy and draw up a program that fits America’s needs a little better than the Beveridge plan would” But the lull was still lulling then and when the President was asked at a press and radio conference if he were preparing a message for congress on the subject — that was about the time of the remark of the cabinet member — he said “no” The Beveridge plan was the natural result of the Battle of Britain Then a common danger brought the British people closer together The underfed underclothed and underhoused had to be taken care of Class lines don’t exist in the shamA bombed-ou- t duchess can bles be as cold and hungry as a waif The poor suddenly realized that if they could be taken care of as well or better in an emergency they ought to have a little better distribution of the ordinary decencies of life Wise in prosperous peace times leaders didn’t wait until the war was over to face angry demands which might turn into real revolution Sir William Beveridge’s committee drew up the blueprint for what they called “a British revolution” in the country’s economic setup under which as one spokesman described it “the their people would contribute by insurown preference to a national ance fund rather than take a handout from the state” relatives would provide a working woman with a bonus when she married so she wouldn’t be penalized for enjoying All connubial bliss this would be done on the principle of ordinary commercial insurance except that the government would run the machinery both labor and capital would contribute as such and the people as a whole in accordance with their income would pay a share through taxes The plan is not new But it is a considerable extension of the present security laws such as Britain has had for a long time and such as the New Deal brought to America No sane American politician no matter how far he leaned to the conservative side would suggest repealing America’s social security laws It couldn’t be done But the controversy will arise in congress when attempts are made as they will be to extend the benefits both as to amounts paid and to new categories of workers Such extensions are contemplated in the plan now cooking in Washington Labor Regulation That is one trend we can look for Running counter to it on the surface but really also shooting at the “greatest good for the greatest number” is the trend toward regulation of organized labor Probably a dozen bills have been drawn up all of which tend to put the screws on labor unions Many liberals feel that the unions have it coming The growing number of strikes in wartime when maximum production is a matter of patriotism as well as necessity the existing union rules which tend to interfere with maximum production the various “restraints” considered as evil as the “restraint of trade” resulting from monopolies all have been highlighted by war conditions Bills will be presented to root out these ills Much of the restriction of unions could be avoid ed if the unions cleaned their own house In America as in England when a nation is called upon to make the sacrifices demanded by this war it can be expected that the people will insist on a democratic distribution of opportunity and reward of effort when peace comes The war will also have taught that maximum production means maximum prosperity There are plenty of people to consume peacetime products there are plenty of natural resources whose development can furnish the jobs for the consumers and provide the pay which makes it possible for them to buy what is produced Any group or institution— farm labor management— which stands in the way of this maximum production is bound to have its wings clipped Meanwhile the people will demand and get greater “assurance” against rainy days which come even when prosperity is with us And in providing it if Britain comes along America cannot be far behind IS In coin for each Stza r CHAPPED SKIN
