Saturday, April 25, 1942 QUIT HESTIATING Government officials had better make up their minds what needs to be done about rationing gasoline, tell the people and then stick to their decision.

At the their indecision as to the amount each car owner in the eastern states will be allowed to buy each week is a repetition of the dilly-dally tactics that have characterized the handling of the sugar shortage. The American people know that rationing of consumers' goods is necessary and they are ready to accept whatever restric-1 tions are necessary. But most of all they want the government to make up its mind. They are tired of generalities; they want particu-ling lars. Five war agencies of the government came out Thursday with the statement that the government no longer would risk the lives of seamen "so someone will have gasoline 10 go to a bridge party or a ball game." That statement followed an announcement the day before that gasoline would be rationed beginning May 15 in 17 eastern states.

But the official statement left the degree of the rationing undetermined. The reporters tried to find out just how much gasoline a car owner would be allowed to buy. There was no official statement, but semi-official quarters said the amount would be two and a half to five gallons a week. That was the definite news the eastern car owners wanted to know. So did car owners over the rest of the for that matter, because if rationing is imposed in the eastern states it probably will be imposed over all the country before long.

That report had scarcely been printed when Price Administrator Henderson and Secretary Ickes said the estimate of two and a half to five gallons a week was too low. But still there were no figures. Mr. Ickes, evidently membering the unpopularity of last summer's curfew on gasoline sta1ions in the east, said the government planned to "supply as much gasoline as possible" to civilian users. Of course it does.

But how much will that be? The people realize that the government has to make abrupt decisions. They expect them. But they want the decisions made without a lot of unnecessary preliminary announcements lacking in specific details. The people are counting on making sacrifices. They don't need a lot of propaganda 10 prepare them.

But they expect the government to decide what those sacrifices shall be and quit stalling. There was a Ict of fumbling around with the sugar situation and it contributed to the present stringency. Some of the people got panicky about sugar last summer when no shortage was in sight and they began laying in supplies that created very shortage they feared. Then along came the war, the shutting off of normal trade routes for sugar imports, and with it increased need to divert more sugar to alcohol manufacture. But rationing, which could have produced a fairer distribution of sugar, is only now going into effect.

while back the allotment was going to be 12 ounces per person each week; now it's going to be eight ounces. At the moment transportation the bottleneck for gasoline supplies. The eastern states have been getting almost all their gasoline tankers. Submarine activity the Atlantic coast and the need divert tankers to carry gasoline for military uses is making it necessary to fall back on railroad tank cars. The railroads simply cannot deliver all the gasoline wanted, hence the need to ration the supply.

That condition seems likely to grow worse and the effects may spread all over the country. Even if transporation difficulties do not increase, military demands for gasoline are going to multiply. That means civilian rationing. The people know it What they want to know when and how much. Indecisiveness and hesitation! Washington in handling the civilian aspects of the war effort are not good 1 for the people's morale.

The plain fact is that the people ahead of the administration and Congress in their thinking and what they want to do to win this war. It is true of rationing, and is true of measures to control flation. 'The Gallup poll three weeks ago showed the people are ready for price ceilings and wage ceilings. When they get them they will buy more war bonds, for one of the biggest reasons they hold back now is that they are afraid of still higher prices. Remove that fear by stabilizing income and outgo and Secretary Morgenthau will have no trouble boosting voluntary sales of war bonds.

CLOSER TIES WITH MEXICO When representatives of the 21 American republics at the Rio de Janeiro conference considered allout defense measures against the Axis, Dr. Ezequiel Padilla, Mexico's foreign minister, rendered service. Last. week in Washington Dr. Padilla and Sumner Welles, Undersecretary of of State, announced a new program industrial co-op-er eration between Mexico and the United States.

The program is further evidence of the practical wartime joint efforts of the two countries. It is another example of the good results of the Good Neighbor policy. Both countries will gain from the program. It calls for the development of Mexican industry, including the construction of a steel and Lin-plate rolling mill from ExportImport bank funds, additional equipment for Mexico's railroads, possible construction in Mexico of small cargo ships, the building of a high-octane gasoline refinery in Mexico with equipment from this country and the grants of and allocations for materials based on Mexico's needs in relation to our own war production effort. The early conclusion of a reciprocal trade agreement also is provided for.

Mexico is treated liberally there can be doubt that the economic strengthening of Mexico is mailer of genuine importance to the United States. We are thinkof defense in terms of hemispheric defense, and Mexico is one of two countries in the hemisphere most closely related to us. By encouraging and helping home industry in Mexico we are strengthen-! ing that country whose means much to us, but we also are encouraging the production of supplies that may count a great deal in the prosecution of the war. The war has forced the United States and Canada into virtually single production unit and the new. agreement lines up the third of the large North American nation units.

Thus there is a solid North Amerfica bound together by mutual economic ties as well as military considerations. Such an arrangement is bound to be carried over into the period after the war. Certainly if the Mexican government and Mexican people can be convinced by war experience that the Good Neighbor policy is just what those words stand for they will want to continue and expand it in peacetime.

Deny Agreement That. Closed Should Be War Labor Board Issue NEW YORK, April 25 (P) liam P. Witherow, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, and Charles R. Hook, chairman of the employers group in the industry-labor no-strike agreement, denied last night. that employer members ever agreed that the closed shop should become an issue for arbitration before the War Labor Board.

In indivadual statements they challenged the AFL-CIO claim that the agreement provided "union security" issues were to be settled by the board, a convention upheld by the War Labor Board last night. "I have been charged with violating' a pledge which the record shows was never given," Witherow declared. "The one thing I have yledged my country is my utmost effort to help win this war. And the closed shop is not a win-thewar measure." Hook's statement that the "closed shop" issue was not a part of the no-strike agreement was agreed to and authorized by eight other ployer members of the Jabor-management conference from which it stemmed, the group announced after a day-long meeting. "The statement by the Labor Board is not a correct I pretation of the position on the closed shop maintained by the employer members of the President's December conference on war-time labor relations," Hook said.

The fraternof Waltonions is large and good news awaits them. Reports from the Upper Peninsula indicate excellent water ditions generally. Snow is almost all gone and streams are normal will be on the week end unless heavy rains develop.

At the tip of the Lower Peninsula the rivers are high and muddy but are expected to be nearly normal by the 25th. Most all woods, roads and trails are passable. Alpena Montmorency Presque Isle territory streams are nearly at normal and clear. Road conditions good. Oscoda, Ogemaw, Alcona and Iosco county waters are high but clear, with the rainbow run well under way.

The Platte and Benzie In Benzie county are right for brooks and browns; plenty of rainbows running. Grand Traverse county streams are high and dark but should be cleared by the week end. Belanger Pond is right for browns, and the Solon, Clear, Brook, Cedar, Northport and Hodek creeks Loelanau county are prime for brooks. Manistee and Wexford county streams are in good condition. Near Baldwin the Pere Marquette, Baldwin, Middle Branch, Little South and Little Manistee are only slightly above normal and bit discolored.

The rainbow run is just well under way and the big spawners should be in the streams until at least 10 days after the opening. The lower reaches of the Pine will be high and dark but the upper waters should produce brookies. Heavy rains will change the picture in all these areas and the bait-fishermen will bring home the fish while the purists may have resort to bacon in the camp skillet.
