and there is great deal of Importance /
in that. Good forecasters saw it COM
ing quite while ago.
Germany has told the world she
intends to have all the guns she wants |
and good forecasters saw that coming
likewise.
Even half way good foreeasters
know that Russia is gong to play ma
tions against each other for the adj
vaneement of international revolution
but they don't do much about it.
There still are those who laugh at
communism and say, "Oh, it never
will amount to much and we needn't
worry about that"
Ever since the beginning of time
the world has been full of the men
tally blind
Today the majority of blind is
smaller than ever, perhaps, but we are
Ia long, long way from anything like
universal sight.
Our own plunderers pick US right
and left, and we don't do any too
much about it.
One of the hopeful things Of the
time happened in Washington few
days ago.
Gray haired veteran Frank Morri-
son, known to every American trade
unionist and to thousands and thou
sands of others, stood by the side Of
shining orange-colored sound
truck from which twelve amphfiers
sent forth his voice and he said, 4
dedicate this truck to the cause of
labor
Thence Francis ]. German, known
to more millions than knew him a
year ago, stood in the same place
and he said, Il dedicate this truck to
the cause of the United Textile Work
ers and the entire labor movement. I.
| On the side of the truck there was
emblazoned the name Of the Unitec
| Textile Workers of America and the
words, Good Will Sound Truck.
The United Textile Workers art
sending that truck through the South
to amplify the cause of oppressed tex
tile workers, and international Labo1
J News Service will send picture Of j
{ to enterprising labor papers.
Use of such a device is like the us'
Of labor newspapers and like the us
, Of the radio. 1t spreads constructive
ideas-the ideas and ideals Of labor
If statesmen were to spread tn
ideals of labor instead of spreading
as So many of them are, the ideas 0
conflict and greed, the world woul
. be helped.
1t is to be hoped that the time wi
come when, instead Of having static
WEVD in New York and static
! VIGIL in Chicago, labor will have
] network of stations, when instead {
having one sound truck, it will hay
!, fleets Of them and when it will hay
a labor paper circulation of fit
millions. Such circulation can
held only by the most intelligent edi
ing and the most efficient busine:
management.
More and more labor's strugg
needs ideas, and there is no rease
in the world why labor should n
reach out and take for itself the ben
N fit Of ideas to match the ideas us'
y by the employers and the bankers.
" Of course the execution of ideas u

opposition has so much money.
Now the truth is that where t
other side has a man who can spel
