FIGHT!
Over the back fences—
Neighbors all mixing it in that
corner—
So far, just a neighborhood free
for-all—
But they are throwing things
around, careless-like—
Already some of their missiles got
some of our family—
Who happened to be wandering
about on the highways—
We don't like that sort of thing
going on—
*Jo good excuse for it—
Sheer stupidity!
It may be even worse than that—
There is said to be a piece of in
sanity mixed up in it—
One of the controlling factors
symptoms of paranoia—
Which means, part of the mentality
out of order—
Occasionally, at least, out of con
trol
All the time out of step with t)ie
rest of the world—
Terrific egomania,

Sadism, which means degenerate
love of cruelty—
Nasty set of mixtures—
Worse than just crazy—
Especially when clothed with power.
It is not only a puzzle, so far—
Germany, the German people, have
also become a problem—
Not easily to be solved, until we are
sure of the riddle's answer—
How much due to war shock, passed
on from World War No. 1—
How much due to selection of char
acter, by war's eliminations—
How much product of fear, of
shame, of frustration—
Plus: what will have to be done
about it all, when it is finished?
Present Germany is product of re
actions of a nation—
Under pressure from the rest of
the world—
And so: what will have to be done
about those other nations—
Whose pertinacious cruelty and,
greed—
Bred this litter of reversions to
type?
There's nothing pretty—
About journeys to Muniafe—
Making sacrificial goats of demo
cratic Bohemians—
Delivering the Skoda arms fac
tories to Hitler—
Along with control of the Danube
Valley—
And then going to war over Po

To keep Hitler from getting the
loot—
Of some coal mineaf and Polish
landlords-^

For keeping the peace, until you
get ready to fight—
But little to be said, for a nation—
With six centuries of political ex
perience—
Taking pledges for a continent's
security—
From a monomanic—
For a nation once in the van—
Of social, political, scientific and
industrial progress—
Which could be turned down the
blind alley of barbaric reversion—
Transmuted, by an egomanic house
painter—
Into a nation of mechanized slaves?

A
Second World War is not worrying
Nicky the gray squirrel.
Nicky has other things to worry
about.
Such as an ample supply of nuts
and dodging Mr. Hawk and a certain
old tom-cat who has declared never
ending war on the squirrel tribe.
Supply of nuts is good now, being
provided by tw.o children who are
tickled pink to have Nicky take nuts
from their hands.
Nicky is wise in the ways of hawks
and cats and has no particular trouble
in dodging them.
So he doesn't really worry about
predatory birds and animals. After
all, he getb healthful exercise in keep
ing away from them.
As for the second World War,
Nicky has not heard of it.
He doesn't read the newspapers and
has no radio. His squirrel neighbors
are in the same boat. The war
doesn't bother him.
Happy Nicky!
Think of the arguments he avoids,
the anxiety he is spared, the time he
saves by not reading or listening to
war news and propaganda.
It gives him time for worthwhile
pursuits, such as frisking in the tree
tops and sunbathing stretched out
flat on top of a broad limb.
Though the wars of man do not
bother Nicky, he has had some war
experience.
He is a war veteran, in fact. A
nick out of one ear (hence his name)
indicates he has known combat.
But Nicky didn't encounter any
poison gas, bombing planes or sub
marines in his warfare.
He fought in a conflict waged by
tooth and claw, civilized when com
pared with the war methods of man.
Americans can't enjoy Nicky's
happy state of ignorance on the war.
They're bound to be aware of it.
So far, however, most of them are
taking it coolly.
•They are keenly interested, but it
hasn't crowded everything else out of
their minds.
They are going about their busi
ness, talking of their jobs, their fam
ilies, their friends, their social activ
ities—the things nearest to them, as
always.
They apparently are not worrying
unduly about Europe.
This state of mind can't be pleasing
to the propagandists, busy at attempt
ing to line up Americans for active
advocacy of one side or the other.
Most Americans, whatever their pref
erences (and they have them) don't
want their nation to have any hand
in the bloody struggle.
They know that Europe's problems,
if solved at all, must be solved by
and 586

Europe. They are through with at
tempting to bring justice in that dis
tressful continent.
Organized labor isn't leaving any
doubt as to where it stands on Amer
ican involvement in Europe's age
long quarrels.
Labor Day addresses reiterated la
bor's firm determination to oppose
any American intervention, beyond
mediation ^efforts.
William Green and John L.
Lewis made labor's position plain.
"There must be no European
entanglement and no involvement
in European wars," Mr. Green
said.
Everything indicates that he voiced
the sentiments of the vast majority
of the American people.
The people burned their fingers
once in the European fire and it will
take a lot of arguing to get them to
do it again.

BACK WAGES
Back wages totalling $10,188.92
were collected during August for 257
employes in 122 establishments cov
ered by mandatory orders under the
Ohio minimum wage law, James P.
Walsh, Jr., superintendent of the Min
imum Wage Division, reported to In
dustrial Relations Director George A.
Strain, Saturday.
The amount is the largest collected
by the division in any one month since
the law was enacted in 1933, Superin
tendent Walsh reported, and brings
the total collections for the six-year
period to $103,840.09, of which $39,
249.98 has been secured for underpaid
women and minors in the first eight
months of 1939.
Effects of the policy of strict and
impartial enforcement of mandatory
orders in the laundry, dry cleaning,
food and lodging industries, instituted
eight months ago is indicated by the
record made by the division during
that period, Superintendent Walsh
pointed out in his report.
A total of 1,589 inspections were
made by investigators of the min
imum wage division last month, Su
perintendent Walsh's report states.
Back wages totalling $9,649.15 were
collected for underpaid workers in the
food and lodging industry $314.77 in
the dry cleaning industry, and $225
in the laundry industry.
During the same month of the pre
ceding year, August, 1938, the divi
sion made 694 investigations and
back-wage collections amounting to,
$1,101.24 and the comparison is very
favorable to the present policy, the
report discloses.
