Organized T~ethnidans

One of the most significant of
recent CLIO union conventions was
that of the Federation of Architects,
Engineers, Chemists and Techni-
clans.
Meeting in Washington, this or
ganization reported a substantial
growth in membership, new con-
tracts won and many improvements
in the salaries and conditions of its
members.
In all of these respects, the record
of the Facet can be matched by
those of many other CLIO unions.
But the particular significance of
this convention was in the character
of the membership represented and
in the role which they play in
modern industry.
T|echnicians have in the past been
regarded as professional people,
closer to the management than to
the manual workers and not sus-
ceptible to union organization.
1t is noteworthy that the greatest
success in organizing this highly
trained group has been made in the
CLIO. It had been supposed by many
that the concentration of the CLIO
on organizing the unskilled and
semi-skilled, who had been neglect
ed by the crafts, would make it less
attractive to the highest skilled.
But the contrary has proved to
be the case. The all-inclusive
principle of industrial organization
and the wider social vision that goes
with it have brought into the labor
movement many w%hite-collar and
professional groups to whom narrow
craft unionism had no appeal.
The technicians are learning that
the organized power of the indus
trial workers with whom they are
associated through the CLIO can be
Of the greatest assistance to them
in improving their economic lot.
At the same time, there is a par
ticular contribution they can make
to the general labor movement, as
President John L. Lewis pointed
out, ''by the expert assistance they
can render in the formulation of the
principles and technique essential to
the accomplishment of our ultimate
detectives in the field of social and
economic reform"

ENGLISH DIPLOMACY
Continued from Page A
An Empires Crisis

When England first realized the
danger to her prestige and actual
threat at her empire, considerable
underground work had already been
accomplished in Egypt, Palestine and
India. Great Britain could be
likened to an owner of many widely
separated bands of sheep; now
imagine the damage a wolf or two,
running amuck, could cause, besides
endangering her lifeline in the Medi-
%terranean. Egypt, Palestine and India
were FESTIVE and Mussolini actually
threatened what he would do to the
Suez Canal if he was interfered with.
English diplomats felt like it was
safer to take a temporary setback
than to risk a big adventure, possibly
world war, especially since the U. S.
was not inclined to quit shipping oil
to Italy both on account of her big
investments there and the matter
of profits involved. Thus the fate
of Abyssinia was practically settled
even before Mussolini sent a single
expedition across.
At this time Italy held a favorable
strategic position on the Mediter-
ranean and that Il Duce's threats
were no idle dreams, was fully
demonstrated in recent sinkings of
neutral ships in the Mediterranean

IT IS LATER THAN YOU THINK
(by Max Lerner) is easily the most
timely and most intelligent restate-
ment of the viewpoints of a militant
democracy. It is a realistic appraisal
of the situation as it has developed
in the last few years. It is very far
from any absolutist fundamentalism
The author rightly points out some
of the basic errors of Marxism, its
underestimate of the strength Of
capitalism, its overestimate of the
revolutionary nature of the prole-
tariat, its misunderstanding of the
middle class, its incomprehension OF
the strength of nationalism, its
primitive and faulty theory of hui
man nature. These and other failures
of Marxism have put the left on the
defensive. But not only the faith in
MarXism has suffered: the faith in
democracy has suffered too. Demo
cracy is no natural birthright OF
man. 1t is a very recent and most
difficult experiment in history. II
the religious faith which was main
tanning it in the hours of birth is
fading, men will turn toward the
older and easier system, toward
authoritarianism. "Men have always
found it easy to be governed. What
is hard for them is to govern them
selves" That explains the attrac-
ton exercised a few years ago by
the apparent success of communism
and at present by the apparent sue
cess of fascism.-Hans Kohn, in The
Nation, Dec. 10, 1888. (Kohn is a

What The Magazines
Are Saying

In the United States and other
more or less d~isinterested countries
Mr.. Chamberlain's success" at
Munich was frankly described as
surrender surrender to force
in such a way that the whole de-
fensive system of the militarily
powerful state of Czechoslovakia
was put out of action and handed
over to Germany, and with the re-
suit that all the southeastern coun-
tries of Europe were bound to pass
under Germany's economic hege-
mony, involving an immense Access
sion to her power from a military
as we'll as an economic point of
view. A week before the Munich
agreement Britain held all the
trump cards in her hands; a week
after, Germany was all-powerful
and irresistible.
The Chamberlain position is quite
Ineligible, and may even, from the
high civilized point of view held by
extreme pacifists, be right. But in
that case, why arm? If you have
no intention Of ever using your
ornaments or letting anyone think
that you will use them, why go in
for ruinous expenditure on soldiers,
airmen, ships, planes and guns? How
is it possible to reconcile these APP
parent opposites-that of showing
yourself SO emphatically against war
as to yield to the point of suffering
your rival to double his power, and
at the same time continuing to pre-
pare the whole paraphernalia Of
war? If you never intend to fight,
even for the justest of causes, it is
folly to put on your armour.-R. A.

London Mercury, November.

England, Nazist Ally

With the loss of prestige Mussolini
forced on the British Empire, she
still exerts power enough to dictate
the policy of the League of Nations
as well as the foreign policy of
France, as the closing of the Franco
Spanish frontier seems to indicate.
Having previously made a deal with
Mussolini in regards to Spain, and
failed to deliver the goods, she seems
now to be more anxious about the
welfare of Hitler and boosting for
him all she can. Even with France
straddling the fence, Czechoslovakia
has enough faith in Soviet assistance
to stand pat and the most the "Runci-
man commission can hope for is
to have the Czechs %neutralized SC
as to be unable to help neither side
in the coming conflict.
English foreign policy is to keep
the status quo in Europe as to en-
able her to throw the balance of the
scale either way she sees fit. Had
the working class in England been
strong enough to force the Tory
government to take a just stand,
most, if not all, of the unfortunate
incidents occurring lately could have
been avoided and the world saved
from being on the Brink of war"
Offers Help to Japan
Here is a condensed editorial out
of a conservative British organ:
British ambassador to Toxic argu-
ment) "You have involved yourself
in China and have received a nasty
shock from Russia. Your financial
position has grown worse. You can
not depend on material assistance
from your allies, Italy and Germany.
You will not be able to get along
without outside help. Great Britain
alone can render you such help. She
is ready to do SO, incidentally, on
condition that Japan ceases to fol-
low in China the practical policy for
crowding out British capital com
pletely." It's a %debateable question
whether English gold can extricate
Japan out of her Chinese mess; and
when it comes to divide up China,
Soviet Russia may have something
to say, too. Had British diplomats
foreseen what the arming of tho
Chinese peasants will ultimately
mean to Japan and English investors,
their efforts through the League of
Nations could likely have prevented
Japan from invading Manchuria.
While a world war is not intended
at the present time, diplomats are
staging afmighty risky play in a
"war crazed world" 1t resembles a
bunch of youngsters having ar Illicit
smoking-bee behind a haystack,
utterly regardless of consequences.
Montana labor news., 1939-04-06

The effect has been catastrophe.
The Czechoslovak State, it must be
remembered, is a young state which
has been built up in the last twenty
years. It has no long tradition of
parliamentary government behind it,
no constitution which has evolved
slowly from many political victories
and defeats. AS a system Of gov
eminent, democracy was not an
organic growth; its roots do not go
down into centuries of history. The
chief ideas and instincts of Western
civilization r not native to the soil
but were revived from a distant
Bohemian past and were taught by
a generation Of professors who be-
came the political leaders of the
country. The old Hussite tradition
which these professors awoke in the
Czech people have slept through too
many centuries to be able immedi-
ately to Withstand SO stupendous a
defeat. The events of the last few
weeks, therefore, have shaken to the
ground not only the state but the
faith on which it was built.
"All is over" said Mr.. Churchill
in the House of Commons. "Silent,
mournful, abandoned, broken,
Czechoslovakia retires into the dark
ness" It is this darkness which the
Czechs r now trying to hold at bay.
They are faced with international
disaster as a direct result of their
association with the West. They are
faced with the internal collapse of
their democratic institutions. These
institutions are proven to have been
based on illusion at the precise mo-
ment at which Germany is in a posi-
ton to demand their destruction.
The Czechs and Slovaks are COM
pletely in German hands, and they
have lost their faith. From the midst
arise the Fascist and semi-Fascist
elements, present in every country,
which profit from the collapse and
confusion of the democrats. What
Czechoslovakia can come out of this
darkness? - Sheila Grant-Du ff in
The London Mercury, November
1888.
