Uncle Sam Will Have To Help
WHE American shipbuilding industry is in bad shape and
nothing is being done about it. And from the standpoint
of the country’s defense, inaction is pretty risky.
Of course, U. S. shipbuilders have never competed very
well with foreign yards in Britain, Germany, France, Japan
and the Scandanavian countries. Higher labor costs have
consistently put us at a disadvantage.
But right now the American yards are doing less business
than they did in 1939 before World War II. And prospects
are that matters will soon get worse. Altogether only 43
ships are now on order, including 11 for the navy. A dozen
yards have closed and more shutdowns are ahead.
This is the status of an industry that turned out 5,000
merchant vessels and the biggest naval fleet in history dur-
ing the recent war.
To help meet stiff foreign competition, U. S. law au-
thorizes construction subsidies up to 50 percent of total
costs. But foreign yards actually can build ships for less
than half what it costs here, so they still get most of the
business.
• * *
I^OR example, a British shipbuilder won a contract for the
4 first of the big new iron ore carriers the U. S. will need
to carry newly discovered Venezuelan ore to U. S. steel
mills. This is the kind of order that logically should have
gone to an American yard.
Obviously the U. S. industry can be kept going only by
considerably heavier subsidies than vve now afford it. Must
we indulge in this expense? Wouldn’t it be better to get
our merchant ships from lower-cost foreign producers?
The answer is we seem to have no choice but to maintain
a certain minimum level of shipbuilding activity. In the
event of war, costs do not count. Then it is resources of
men and materials that tell the story. These we have and
these we and our friends in the free world would depend
upon for the greatly expanded ship program inevitable in
wartime.
Most of our maritime experts believe we can’t bo ready
for such a national emergency unless we keep several major
yards in fairly healthy condition and maintain a nucleus
of from 80,000 to 100,000 trained shipyard workers. Yet
employment in shipbuilding today is less than 50,000 and
may drop to 30,000.
Election year politics is said to bar action this year. Con-
gress ought to realize that every year which passes without
a decision increases the defense risk and probably heightens
the cost of putting American shipbuilding back into sound
shape for swift conversion to a wartime footing.
Wasted energy is a chaperone apologizing for falling
asleep in company.
Shortly we’ll be finding out once more that nobody be-
lieves in “Fresh Paint” signs.

THE STORV: Clemency Norton,
)oung, eager to travel, goes with
Syrie Amberley to an isolated but
luxurious home in the North Afri-
can desert as nursery governess to
Syrie's small daughter Baba. The
house belongs to Piers Amberley,
brother of Syrie's husband Jon.
Clemency notices, however, that Jon
did not meet his wife and daughter
at the airport and that Piers, who
met them, was reserved and with-
drawn in his attitude toward Syrie.
* * *
in
/CLEMENCY and Baba were taken
^ straight to the nursery apart-
ments situated at the back of the
house and reached by crossing a
courtyard filled with flowers.
The rooms were charming, light
and airy, and, save for their win-
dows and the outlook, might have
been the nurseries and a bedroom
of any up-to-date country house.
There was also a small sitting room
which was for Clemency in her
off-duty moments.
The suitcases were brought by
a white-clad Arab servant who
flashed his teeth at Baba's new
nuise in a wide, friendly smile. As
the days went on she was to get to
know Ahmed well—he and his sister
Louilie waited on the nurseries.
Baba was tired out, and. like
most tired children, inclined to be
fretful. Clemency gave directions
Tor the little girl's supper to be
brought in 20 minutes, and got her
ready for bed meanwhile, though
she protested vigorously that she
wanted to see her Daddy first.
While she was making herself ob-
streperous on this point. Justine
came in.
"Is Madame's case among yours?"
she asked. "The large one. It seems
to have been mislaid.”
"Do you mind looking in my
room?" said Clemency. “I haven't
seen tt.”
A search produced no result, but
Justine lingered. “It was certainly
In the car. They have It some-
where," she said, shrugging her
shoulders. "Why does Mam'selle
Baby cry?”
"She's disappointed not to see.
her father, poor mite.” replied
Clemency In French.
"I did not realize you spoke my
language." Justine's look and tone
both had a new friendliness.
"I am always nervous," explained
Clemency. "I'm afraid It's very bad
French—but there were several
French girls—war refugees—at the
Nursery school where I was trained.
I picked It up and, with the ground-
ing I had at school—my father Is
keen on modern languages—I man-
age to make myself understood.”
* • *
t*\f ADEMOISELLE has quite a
^ good accent,-' said Justine,
not flattering. She glanced at the
still - fretting Baba: "She only
fusses for her father because he
spoils her."
‘‘He is still lying down. I sup-
pose. Don't cry, darling, sandman's
coming to put you to sleep. You
will see Daddy In the morning.”
But it did seem strange that Jon
Amberley should have made no at-
tempt to greet his wife and child.
"Is he—quite an Invalid, then?” she
asked. She did not want to gossip,
but she had to find out things
somehow.
"No, no, no!" exclaimed Justine.
"He is ill at times. At least—" She
broke off. shrugging her shoulders.
"(Mi, well, you will get used to this
household. I must go now—or
Madame will be screaming for me.”
As she went out, Louilie brought
Baba's supper and while she was
eating it, her mother appeared.
“Are you all right?" Syrie asked
with that careless charm of man-
ner which she could assume when
she liked. "Do you feel you arc
going to hate it a lot?"
"Good gracious, no," Clemency
laughed. "Though I’ve hardly had
time to think about it. it all seems
very—intriguing. It's beautiful."
“Oh, It’s beautiful enough!" Syrie
followed her glance frowningly.
‘‘One can't live on that sort ol
beauty. How I hate coming back!"
The last sentence, added in $n
undertone, held so much fierce
resentment that it brought her
companion’s startled eyes to her
face. Syrie was staring before her
with an expression of stark misery
and hatred. It was as though she
had been caught without a mask
—that mask of careless indifference
which she usually wore. Then, as
she met Clemency's startled glance,
the mask was on again.
She laughed lightly. “I'm miss-
ing London. I came to say that
we should like you to have dinner
with us tonight. Piers never will
dine before 8 o’clock, so you've
plenty of time to rest." There was
no question as to whether Clem-
ency would not have gieatly pre-
ferred to remain In the nursery
and go to bed early after the jour-
ney. This was not an invitation, it
was an order—and all she could
do was to murmur thanks.
“I hope it won't bore you. You
won't be called upon to do It
often," she said.
* * *
/CLEMENCY saw at once what her
employer was getting at and
wanted to laugh. The very last
thing she was likely to do was to
attempt to push herself Into the
family circle—the glimpses she had
caught of it up to now did not en-
courage a desire for closer ac-
quaintanceship. She was here to do
her Job, which was to look after
Baba; and all she asked was to be
left alone to do it.
“Very well. I’ll send Justine to
bring you along," Syrie told her.
"You'll never find your way around
this caravanserai without help—
until you get used to it.” She
turned towards the door again, and
was just behind it when it opened
hurriedly and a man came in.
"Forgive me," he said pleasantly,
“but I Mad to come in search of my
family." He crossed over and picked
Baba boldly out of her chair.
"Hello, Baba—glad to see Daddy?”
and to Clemency again: "I'm Jon
Amberley. You are—"
"You might leave me to do the
introducing, Jon,” observed Syrie,
emerging from behind the door.
"Darling! How marvelous to have
you back!” Baba In one arm. he
put the other around his wife and,
bending his head, kissed her lips.

G/rurt*
A LL day Tuesday the village
A had teemed with excitement.
Paul and William had been brief-
ed early in the day as had Bob
and Josh and now at 10 p. m.
the doctor sent for Paul to tell
him the zero hour had arrived.
Bob was waiting In the street in
anticipation of Paul’s arrival and
with but a nod from Paul set
about his task. Rachel met Paul
at the door of their home and
knew by the set and severe look
on Paul’s face that he was off
to another of his risky trips and
that nothing less than his life
was at stake.
"Paul, why must you go? Think
of me and the children," said
| Rachel. “Who else do you sup-
pose I am thinking of?” replies
Paul, probably more careful of
the fit of his boots than his
English.
"But Paul," pursues Rachel.
"You arc neither so young nor
BO . . .”
"Let's leave my age and shape
out of this, and instead of you
bawling your head off, help me
get ready, could you?”
"Yes, Paul," but tears and mis-
givings prevented Rachel from
being much help and Paul left
minus his spurs and a rag which
he so badly needed.
Tom and Josh were waiting
for him and when It was dis-
covered Paul had come without
the necessary cloth, Tom went to
the home of his girl and whistled
softly under her window. Up goes
the window.
"Throw down a good sized rag,”
whispered Tom, "and hurry." A
matter of seconds and down came
a flannel petticoat, still warm
from the body of the wearer.
Paul's dog had followed him
and good enough, too, for to the
dog's collar he tied a note to
Rachel. Soon the dog was back
with the spurs.
From this point everything pro-
ceeded without mishap. The boat
ride, where the flannel petticoat
was used to muffle the oars, the
conference in the home of Col-
onel Conant, where he learned
Bob's signals had been seen and
where John Larkin turned over
to Paul his best horse, for none
but the best would do. Paul tested
the snugness of the girths, ad-
justed his stirrups, patted his
horse, mounted and rode off.
Romantic tales of this adven-
ture would lead us to believe that
Paul leapt into the saddle and
galloped hard away. Not Paul.
Instead, he rode his horse with
great care as befits one who
knows good horseflesh, as was
proved by the condition of the
horse some five hours later. Down
the moonlight road goes Paul
Revere and the Larkin horse. Not
merely a man on a horse on the
18th of April, one hundred and
seventy-five years ago today, but
something greater: a symbol, per-
haps, to which his countrymen
can yet turn.

Worldwide Union Organizes
To Halt Spread Of Communism
1ITASHINGTON, April 18-(NEA)
” —Oriental traders and busi-
nessmen are in for a big surprise
and a rude awakening. FYom the
Bosphorus to Bali—all across the
middle east and southeast Asia—
they are about to come up against
a world-wide trade union or-
ganizing movement.
The blow may not come fast.
The punch may be telegraphed
ahead for several years before it
lands. But when it hits, the result
is apt to be loud screams of an-
guish against the western Euro-
pean and American democracies
for allowing this to happen.
What this amounts to is that
something like the American new
deal or the social reforms that
preceded it in western Europe is
about to be transplanted into the
middle east and south Asian coun-
tries. They are principally Greece,
Turkey, Iran, India, Pakistan, Bur-
ma, Thailand. Malaya, Viet Nam
and Indonesia. The western pow-
ers want to see them democratized
as a bulwark against advancing
communism.
The general formula for this sal-
vation is translated to mean that
the peoples of these countries must
have more freedom. All vestiges
of the old colonial oppression are
to be thrown off.
mHE realization that the higher
A standard of living of western
civilization has been won only after
years of industrial revolution, col-
lective bargaining, personal sacri-
fice, high taxes and governmental
reform may not have registered
on the oriental mind. But there
are signs at hand, if anyone will
take the trouble to read them:
1. The sharp note which U. S.
Ambassador Henry F. Grady re-
recently handed to the Greek gov-
ernment bluntly told the Greeks
to hold local elections, put their
financial house In order and start
collecting some taxes, or else. The
else was a threat to stop U. S.
Marshall plans to build new power
plants for raising the living stand-
ards of the Greek people.
2. From India come reports that
native businessmen and the fam-
ilies of great hereditary wealth
are alarmed by the social reforms
of the new Indian government.
This government is trying desper-
ately to raise living standards for
India's wretched hundred millions.
Indians with money are refusing
to invest their private funds in
new enterprises which India needs
to develop her own economy. They
do not consider conditions safe.
The line may have a familiar ring.
3. In Washington. J. H. Olden-
toroeck of The Netherlands, secre-
tary general of the new Interna-
tional Confederation of Free Trade
Unions, meets with top officials
of AFL and CIO. It is announced
that ICFTU will soon send a four-
man mission to southeast Asia for
two months to study trade union
conditions. This mission will make
plans for setting up a “trade union
college" to teach collective bar-
gaining in that part of the world.
I TLTIMATELY there arc plans to
bring native trade union lead-
ers from these countries to west-
ern Europe and the United States,
to see how labor organizations are
run and what they accomplish in
this part of the world.
It is not difficult to imagine the
shudders that convulse bankers
and employers in these underde-
veloped countries as they con tern- '
plate such manifestations of prog-
ress. Some of these countries, like
Turkey, don’t have any trade un-
ions at all. In others, only a few
crafts are organized.
The choice of capital in these
areas, however, is to take more de-
mocracy. more social reform, more
trade unionism and collective bar-
gaining—or else to take commun-
ism. which means confiscation of ^
all wealth. Incidentally the free,
democratic trade unions see them-
selves as the real bulwark of sal-
vation against communism.
