OUR FIRST DUTY
is AT HOME

Our first and final duty is at home
not in Europe or not in Asia. we
need not fear armed invasion by any
means from any nation three thou
sand miles away. We can and should,
therefore, devote ourselves to a solu-
tion of domestic problems-not Euro
pean difficulties. The danger to the
United States and to democracy comes
from within-not from without. We
have nothing to fear from a mad die
tator in Europe, but we do have much
to fear from continued unemployment
and an unsolved agriculture problem.
These are the primary problems that
face us and their solution must be
found within the framework of ira
ditional American principles.
We must keep peace with the world
and at the same time extend the bor-
ders of economic and social justice
! at home. By making the United
States better place in which to live,
by maintaining our sanity and reason,
we best serve democracy, civilization
and the world Senator Burton K.
Wheeler.

BUILDING TRADES
TO REORCANIZE

Halifax, N. S. (ILNS) The Build
ing Trades Council of the Halifax dis
trict has been reorganized, after a
lapse since 1882, when it became DOR
mant Affiliation has been made with
the American Federation of Labor
and the Halifax District Trades and
Labor Council.
Participating in the reorganization
were delegates from the plumbers and
steamftters, electrical workers, build
ing and common laborers, plasterers
and cement fnishers, carpenters and
joiners, hod carriers, bricklayers and
masons' international union locals.
Arrangements were made for weekly
meeting of the reorganized council,
and the Labor Temple chosen as the
council base.
The negotiations for the reorgan-
ization were initiated by the Brick
layers and Masons' local. The Hall

off again with complete representa-
tion of unions engaged in the con-
struction field, and in concerted ac-
tion for the welfare of the building

BIG UNION MAY
REJOIN A. F. OF [,
Ladies' Garment Workers TO Act I'm
less Split in Labor is Ended.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Notice
that the international Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union, with 250,000
members, may rejoin the American
Federation of Labor next May if unity
/ in the labor movement has not been
achieved by then was given here by
the unions executive board. A pub
lie announcement by the board said:
"We had hoped and we still hope
that by the time our convention takes
place in May, 1910, peace will be real
lied so that we might join in united
labor movement.
eff peace is not accomplished by
that time, the question of our con-
tinued independence or affiliation with
the A. F. of L., to which we belonged
for thirty-seven years, will be deter
mined by our convention"
Union Still Stresses Peace
The statement declared that the
unions attitude with regard to the
supreme Importance of peace in Amer
lean labor has undergone no change.
"We still consider labor peace as
primary factor to the well-being
and the progress of American work
ers," it proceeded
Furthermore, we still are firmly
of the opinion that the fundamental
obstacles which stood in the way of
united labor movement when the
! c. |. O. was organized, namely the
recognition of industrial unionism for
the mass production industries and a
greater measure of democracy in
union government, have largely dis
appeared with the substantial change
of the position of the A. F. Of L. on
these issues"
Convention City Chosen
The garment workers union left
the federation to affiliate with the
C. l. o. and then declared it's indie
pendence of the G. |. o. prior to the
first annual c. l. o. convention in 1888.
Since then it has maintained an in
dependent status.
The executive board decided to hold
it's next general convention in New
York City, for the first time since it's
founding 40 years ago. The conven-
tion will open May "a with a mass
meeting in Madison Square Garden.
Sessions will last two weeks, Presi-
dent David DuDinsky said.

AN ENCOURAGING TREND

Americans are reviving the custom
of public discussion. Stanley Higl
is quoted as saying there were
100000 public discussion groups il
the country last year. There are
probably more now Discussion OF
domestic and foreign issues is going
on in public forums, radio debates,
group gatherings, in old-fashioned
town meetings"
Growth of public discussion is an
encouraging trend. 1t shows we want
to hear both sides and are intent on
learning what's what The more open
discussion, the better. The propa-
gandist, of course, isn't any too en-
thusiastic about full and free discus
sion, as he wants only one side pre-
sented Presentation of both sides
isn't any too good for him. But what
is not good for the propaganda is
good for the people.
Public discussion, where both sides
of controversial questions can be set
forth, is a democratic device and
makes for better democracy. Organ
lied labor has always stood for the
right of free discussion and is in full
sympathy with every move to increase
its popularity

BROADMINDED UNION
GENEROSITY

1t is interesting to note the alloca-
tion of $225,oO0 for refugee relief,
by the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union.
There may be those who will say
that this is just the Jews giving to
their Acknowledgements. But this is
emphatically not the case. Note that
the largest amount was given to the
joint distribution committee, which is
the chief distribution committee in
central Europe, it's efforts being di-
vided among the refugees in Ger
many, Poland, and Austria, as well
as other points in that general area.
Other allocations are: for Catholic
refugees from Germany, $4,000; for
Christian German refugees (Protes-
tant) $4,000; for Italian refugees,
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1939-12-01

$4,000; Jewish Labor Committee
10000; American Red Cross, $10,000i
trade union refugees and exiles, $10,-
900; and others.
This is a part of the American
workers reply to the German and
Italian union smashing programs.
Such gifts would be impossible in
either of these countries, mainly be-
cause the free unions have been abol-
ished in those lands.
The IL. G. w. U. has many and
great accomplishments to its credit;
but none of them are greater than
this open-handed generosity to the
workers who are suffering in other
nations because of their allegiance to
the ideals of freedom and democratic
elf-government.
These are not gifts made out of
plenteous incomes. They come from
the dimes of the needle workers, who
value democracy and the institutions
of a free country because they them
selves have dug their own way up
out of the abyss which formerly en-
quilted the workers in their craft.
They know the value, the cost, and
the potentialities of democratic ac-
ton. And knowing these, they want
to pass them along.

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessIy.

Elliott Roosevelt made an arresting
plea in radio broadcast the other
night.
The Presidents son urged every
factory in the United States to hire
at least one additional man.
He gave moving account of the
letters hundreds of them-which he
has received from highly educated
and skilled men begging for a chance
to work.
Many were from experienced and
able engineers who have held re-
sponsible and well-paying positions.
Yet many are now unable to get
job.
They pleaded, many of them, for
any kind of work, at any pay and
hours that would give them a living.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced that he
was ready to cooperate with indus
trial plants that would take on one
or more men.
He explained a plan for getting
factory and man together and urged
industrial heads to communicate with
him. He promised to place the quail
fications of unemployed men before
factory executives and let them make
choice.
The nation would benefit if indus
try and business heed his plea and
work with him.
But even if successful, the plan
would make only the littlest dent in
unemployment.
That is problem that requires the
best efforts of all factors in the ma
tion for it's solution.
Mr.. Roosevelt's quotations from
letters he has received from idle men
give a glimpse Of the desperation of
mind of those long denied an oppor
tunity to earn living.
They give momentary look into
the hell of unemployment.
They emphasized problem that
will not down and that thrusts itself
before the nation, war or no war.
They laid bare an ugly sore that
threatens the life of the nation.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Information reaching the Paris
headquarters of the international
Federation of Trade Unions shows
how the Nazi controlled Labor
Front" is being used to mislead the
German workers and hide from them
Hitler's real aims. The Labor Front
was called the worlds greatest COM
pany union" in an article in the Amer
lean Federationist, official organ of
the A. F. of L.
At meeting of the executive Off
GERS of the Labor Front in Berlin,
DR.. Ley, the head of the front, stated
that "the economic section of the war
instructions given by the Fuehrer for
the work of the Labor Front starts
with the statement that the only i'm
portant thing is to consolidate the
chances for victory which have been
created by Hitler, and that the means
or the form of organization used are
of no Importance.
In long statement, Ley then ex-
planned (says the l. F. T. U. bulletin)
that Italian industry during the Italo-
Abyssinian war and Russian industry
under Stain provided the proofs that
the National Socialist system was the
best guarantee that Germany's eco.
nomic aims would be obtained through
the war
The Fuehrer, said Ley, would
sooner proclaim German Soviet
Republic than incline to the de-
mocracies The war must be
carried on by absolutely Russian
Bolsheyist methods"
Ley then went on to assert that the

MEAD ADVOCATES
FOOD STAMP PLAN
EXPANSION AS AID
To Farmers, Retailers, Consumers
Says Plan Definitely Successful.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Sen-
ator James M. Mead of New York,
discussing the record of the Federal
Surplus Commodities Corporation s
food stamp plan for International La
Dor News Service, praised the plan
and urged it's continuation and ex-
pansion.
Mead declared that the plan, tried
experimentally for the last six months
in his state at Rochester, has been
definitely successful and points to an
| intelligent, practical method for the
solution of the nations surplus prob
lem. He said that consumers, retail
ers, and farmers benefit under the
plan and that its expansion into other
cities would have salutary effect in
stimulating retail business and in re-
ducing relief costs to local commu-
mites.
Worth Held Proved
| 'The food stamp plan has success
fully passed it's experimental stage
and, with it's worth proved, | favor
an expansion of the program" said
| the Senator. public and private
agencies in New York state have
watched the plan operate in Roches-
| ter and have seen with satisfaction
| the increase in the retail sale of GER
tain surplus food commodities.
"For example, the retail sale OF
butter increased 28 per cent, OF
prunes 46 per cent, of flour 62 per
cent, of cornmeal 76 per cent, and OF
beans 200 per cent. Relief clients
and, in some states, low-wage fami-
lies have been direct benefciaries
| The addition of new surplus com
modities in the plan will effectively
help farm prices and will assist in
the disposition of unwieldy surpluses
Expansion Favored
II understand consideration is be-
| ing given to an expansion of the pro-
gram. / heartily favor such activity.
The Federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation deserves general COM
mendation for its cautious and intel
ligent application of the plan.
"There are 4O,OoO,ooO Ameri-
cans living in families whose
average cash income is SO week.
About 16,500,0OO of these people
are getting some sort of public
assistance. These are the fami-
lies who will benefit from an eX-
tended stamp program.
81 am urging the inclusion of ad-
ditional New York state communities
in the program as it is expanded"

The Roosevelt broadcast was
an indication that thought in the
United States is again being
given to a problem that must be
solved. If it can't be solved un-
der the present economic system,
new system is inevitable. No
economic system can survive in
definitely with huge army of
unemployed.
And it is we'll not to forget that
big-scale unemployment has been with
us now close to ten years.
One dangerous aspect of unemploy-
ment has just been pointed out by
the American Youth Commission, a
group of industrialists and educators.
The commission says that inability
of nearly 100000 Americans Is to "a
years old to get jobs adds to pressure
for u. S. involvement in war.
"The continued pressure of unem-
ployment on youth, in the midst of
the war boom, will add to the danger
of drifting into active participation
in war;" the commission declares.
1t is significant that the commits
sion, industrialists as well as edu-
Gators, urges a federal works pro
gram to provide at least part-time
jobs for unemployed youth.
"Some action is imperative for the
national welfare" the commission
says, because of the dangerous effect
on American youth of prolonged and
widespread unemployment, plus the
strain of the present war crisis"
The commission frankly admits that
it is advocating a program that "will
add to the federal budget" but con-
tends the cost need not be high.
Evidently the commission, includ-
ing it's head, Owen d. Young, General
Electric tycoon, believe there are some
things worse than adding to the fed
eral budget.

months time, was really Communist
kind of organization, similar to the
Russian, and that the word chosen by
Hitler to describe -"Volksgemein-
schaft"- was only a German transla-
tion of Communism! But Ger
many lacked the primary commodi-
ties, such as large colonies, the AL
sacian ore and potassium deposits,
etc., which were necessary if she were
to organize her industry on the Rus
sian model, and the war with the
western democracies was being car
ried on to obtain these supplies. From
the standpoint of Communist doc
trine, this war was really revolu-
tionary war.
This kind of thing is not only stated
by Ley, but is being propagated up
and down the country by thousands
of individual propagandists," who
have recently been sent all over Ger
many in order to arouse the workers
enthusiasm for the war. Some work
ers fall into the trap, but only those
who were formerly Communists. The
former trade unionists are not taken
in.
In the Ruhr these propagandists
have also been saying that Stain has
seen this to be the right viewpoint
and that for this reason he is taking
part in the war on Germany's side
first of all against Poland, and later
on as may be required. "The Rus
slams are convinced that Hitler is 9
greater revolutionary strategist thar
all politicians before him."
Enthusiasm must indeed be at 8
low ebb in Germany if the Nazis are
forced to resort to such talk!
