DICTATORS RESPONSIBLE FOR
ARMAMENTS

The peace-loving instincts of the masses
everywhere and the responsibility of the
Nazi and Fascist relationships for the tremen-
dous sum being spent by democratic nations
for defensive ornaments are emphasized by
the Transport Worker the official organ Of the
New Zealand Federated Waterside Workers.
Ninety per cent of the people of the world
desire to live in peace and harmony" the
Transport Worker says. NINETY per cent
are opposed to war, and the same ninety per
cent do not see any reason why they should
quarrel with their fellow man.
what then is the cause of all the trouble?
Why is it that we have a weekly war scare
and an international crisis daily? Why is it
that the newspapers of the world are so busy
in this matter? Why is it that thousands Of
millions of pounds are spent each month now
adays in the manufacture of machinery and
weapons for the sole purpose of destruction
of defenseless people and possibly of civil
cation altogether?
There are but few men in the world who
would attempt to justify this huge expendi-
ture, this terrible waste of labor and money.
There are fewer still who could justify var
and wholesale destruction of human beings,
War was never a necessary adjunct to pro-
gress, and today war can only have one re-
sult-the further e%nslavement of mankind
or the destroying Of our present civilization.
During the last world war, we were told
that it was a fight to save democracy. The
democratic countries won the war, yet dem
ocracy is in greater peril today than ever.
It seems to prove the statement made by the
,ooifie+e +bo vnoorc doV1yp +ba+ marc pavar vyop
anything either for the c%onqueror or those
who were defeated.
"Yet the fact remains that the peaceful
nations of the world are compelled to arm
willy nilly. This, Of course, is due to the
threat Of power politics made by European
dictators. Il = " Democracy, therefore, realizes
the fact that its liberties must be defended
and is agreed that the respective nations that
are defending democracy should arm for
their own defense and protection"

CONTROLLING MONEY FOR
THE PEOPLE

Since the organized labor movement of
New Zealand took over, by electoral action,
the government of that country in 1885 on a
platform designed to benefit the masses of
the people, the New Zealand Pertinent has
enacted much legislation to protect the wealth
producers and at the anne time provide rea-
sonable profits for those who own the indus
tries.
With regard to the reservoir of money the
labor government started with the principle
that it must be controlled in the interest of
the people. This was tersely expressed by
Prime Minister NJ. j. Savage, who said that
the clear objective" Of the organized labor
movement in control of the government sis
to make money the servant of mar instead
of his master"
In explaining this principle and its s%ignific-
ance Mr.. Savage added: ut is just as neces-
sary for the nation to be the sole authority
for the issue and control of money as it is
for it to be the sole authority for the organiza-
ton and control of the Army and the Navy"

G. F. Johnson, Foe Of
Gets Gold
Medal As 'Humanizer'

NEW YORK.-(FP)-They gave a
gold medal to %81-year-old George F.
johnson at a ritzy luncheon on April
6, even though the old man couldn't
come up from Florida to hear the
speeches praising him for so years
of service to business and to his
employees, a record unblemished by
a single threat of labor trouble"
In Binghamton, seat of the Enoi-
colt Johnson shoe industry, most Of
the $4,000 employees thought it was
a sour joke to hand w the Forbes
Humanizer of Business Award to the
board chairman.

George F. Johnson, our great
white father, used a prizefighter's
technique by getting us groggy over
the fake danger of Czechoslovakian
competition under the reciprocal

cut. If the treaty was the cause of

MORE ADEQUATE COMPENSA-
TION FOR THE UNEMPLOYED

Some of the provisions OF the bill to revise
certain provisions Of the Social Security Act
introduced by Senator James F. Byrnes, Of
South Carolina, come within the controver-
sial area. But there will probably be little
if any valid objection to his proposal to pay
more liberal unemployment compensation to
jobless workers.
In a nationwide broadcast from the Ma
tons capital over the network of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company, Senator Byr-
mes, who is chairman Of the Special Senate
Committee to Invetigate Unemployment and
Relief, declared that unemployment is not
only "our most serious domestic problem"
but is also a national problem" and a per
manent problem" and that the "%overwhelm-
ing majority" of the people in the United
States believe that granting assistance to the
unemployed lis a public duty and primarily
the duty of the Federal Government"
Standing on this logical premise, Senator
Byrnes deplored the needless suffering in
flicted on the jobless by unwarranted delays
in paying them the unemployment compen-
sation to which they are legally entitled and
criticized strongly the small amounts paid
which in many instances are SO low that the
recipients must resort to relief agencies to
supplement the misunderstanding stand
ards which frequently characterize state I'M
employment compensation rates.
On these two related subjects-shorter
waiting periods and more liberal unem-
ployment compensation-Senator Byrnes
said:
Unemployment insurance is a shock alb
sorber. To date we have not had an oppor-
tunity to fully test its effectiveness, but we
have had an opportunity to discover the
weaknesses of the existing system. The laws
Of the States vary. In all States, there has
been too much delay in the worker receiving
his compensation benefits. In some cases he
has given up in disgust. In other cases the
worker at the end of a long period Of waiting
received a check for SO or $4, or some other
sum so inadequate that he Immediately made
application for a job on w. P. A. projects.
"The bill l have introduced has for its OBJ
%jective the payment of more liberal benefits
and the simplification of the law. 1t provides
for a minimum payment of S. per week; re-
duces to one week the period a man must wait
for his benefits; provides that if he is eligi-
BILE he will receive payments for at least Is
weeks if he continues unemployed, and by
simplifying the method of determining eligi-
biity avoids delay in making payments to
workers and lessons the burden of reports
by employers. 81
"The necessity for a minimum payment per
week is that when a man does receive COM
pensation benefits he should receive enough
to remove him from the ranks of those seek
ing relief. ***"
Pointing out that "it is better to pay to the
unemployed worker a more liberal allow
ance'' from the unemployment compensation

fund already collected from the people in
taxes than to pay SO small an amount that
he refuses to accept it and goes to work pro-
jects for which additional taxes must be levi
ed or money borrowed to be ultimately paid
by taxes" Senator Byrnes declared that we
should either make the unemployment COM
pensation fund 'of service to the worker or
abolish it and provide w. P. A. jobs for all
unemployed

l don't approve of the non-union
policy of Endicott Johnson"
Ben ]. Berk, organizer for the
Boot and Shoe Workers Union in
Binghamton, said he was amazed by
the choice of johnson.
Its a cockeyed lot of propa-
ganda," he declared, ito give that
man an award. They have been
cutting wages to the bone. And they
tell the men that if they don't like
the wages they can quit, and the
company will hire high school boys
at SIS"
B. c. Forbes, publisher of the
magazine and himself one of the
judges, seemed to be shocked when
he was told of the anti-labor record
of Endicott Johnson.
81 have never heard of any labor
trouble there" he said, land l read
The New York Times very care

did you make any check on the
company's record?" he was asked.
eyes, l did. Several months ago
l wrote an article about Endicott
Johnson and l submitted it to the
company officials for a very thor
ough check"
In a message from Florida, John
son told the committee: 81 do not
claim any worthiness. I have always
thought that the differences between
labor and capital were quite I'M
necessary. All industry could get
along the same as we-with peace,
harmony and good will"

gated the treaty."
A summary of industrial relations
in the Endicott Johnson factories as
compiled by Federated Press shows
that Forbes Magazine entered the
field of burlesque when it honored
Johnson as the great humanizer. Re
cent highlights include:
l. Company-inspired vigilante ac-
tivities to thwart an organizing drive
by the Boot and Shoe Workers Union
(AFL).
2. Promotion of a company union.
3. Drastic pay cuts that have pro-
voked two strikes within recent
months.
4. Violation of an NLRB order to
cease interference with the en-
ployees right to organize. (The union
has filed a second complaint.)
5. Evasion of the overtime re-
quirments of the Walsh ealy act,
cheating employees out of 100000
in overtime pay, according to the
AFL union.
The gold medal was presumably
voted by a committee of 10 judges,
several of them distinguished lib
erals. Those interviewed by Fed
Grated Press declined to comment on
the johnson award, one or two adj
hitting that the affair smelled bad.
Others denied participating in the
ballot.
Matthew Vol, third vice president
of the AFL and the only labor repre-
sentative on the committee, repudi-
ated his vote for johnson by saying:
"If the award was based on his
labor policy, l am not in favor of it.

McBryde To

Measure Soon
Daily Dispatch bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, March 14.-Representa-
tive Lacey McBryde returned to RAJ
leigh yesterday from a weekend al
his home in Fayetteville with renew
ed determination to press for passage
of his Cape Fear Valley Authority
bill. McBryde introduced last week
the bill authorizing appropriation of
$4,000 to perfect the organization of
an Authority which would develop
a gigantic hydro-electric, flood con-
troll and navigation program on the
Cape Fear river.
The Cumberland representative
has been in touch with the army en-
cheering corps and he expects to
have Major George Gillette, of Will
mington, to appear before the legis-
lative committee when his bill comes
up for consideration. Major Gillette
has been in charge of most of the
surveying done on the Cape Fear
with respect to navigation andd cleo
trio development as a war defense
measure.
Mr.. McBryde makes no secret of
the fact that he thinks public utility
companies are charging too much for
electric current. He credits his bill
with some influence on the recent
reduction in rates announced by the
power company serving southeastern
North Carolina. Flood control and
navigation are included, but the real
purpose of the Cape Fear Valley Au-
thority bill is to bring about lower
power rates in that section of the
State.
The CFVA would be a self-liquidat
ing bond-issuing corporation to work
on a loan and grant basis in COOP
Grafton with the Federal Govern
ment, almost exactly upon the same
plan as the Santee-Cooper authority
in South Carolina. The only possible
cost to the State, according to spon-
sors of the scheme, would be the mi
tial appropriation for surveys and es-
Inmates.
