ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF :
THE YOUTH OF AMERICA

Of late years radicalism, de.
risive and unpatriotic comments
on the order Of things here in
America has repeatedly been
vetoed by the young folks of
America. The motive behind
= these dangerous utterances is
mostly resentmentsagainst the
Tack of opportunity today. 1t is
small thanks to the government
which has done what it could to
bring back the legendary pros
perity of the United States, by
what it considers the best ways.
The plain ia ct youth realizes
is them days are gone forever"
as far as their generation is
considered impells some to the
short-sighted and dangerous
policy that the best thing for
them to do is to force a change
that would not in the normal
course of events come about. to
restore to themselves the miss
ing deal of the cards.
For youth to want. it's hour
is natural and youth being what
it is, will have it. There is not
a single solitary thing wrong
with the idea. Youth wants a
chance to marry, have money,
be reasonably sure that it wont
be hustled off to be slaughtered
on the battlefield for no ones
gain, to have a hand in things.
Youth will always fight wars,
and gladly, if the wars are not
excuses for conquest or not of
defensive nature. The day of
diplomatic wars is nearing it's
end anyhow, unless the diplo-
mats fight them.
The dictator powers know it
and witness the plight of youth
in four-fiths of Europe today.
Youth is entitled to have all
the opportunity possible. The
labors of our Forefathers who
made America what it is today
were aimed at creating opportuni
ties for their descendants. They
ran the British lion out of the
colonies and in rather primitive
manner formed our govern
ment the best they could. The
young government was not per-
feet. and changes and additions
have from time to time correct
ed errors and fitted it to the
changing times. Youth was not
at. any time observed nor its
opportunities leSSened delibera-
tely. The great war created the
depression. Nbthing any one
could do would have avoided its
visitation. The party in power
at the beginning of the depres-
sion was blamed for it despite
the fact it was worldwide in
scope. The Republicans were
voted out. The Democrats under
Roosevelt began to remedy
things their own way. They
arc still beginning" for none
is so blind to believe they have
remedied anything yet. They
have spent the wealth of two
or three empires with no visible
result. The unemployed are just
as numerous today as of the
day the Democrats took over, II
indeed not more so, because the
Democrats are too smart to find

with out an adequate supply of
munitions. We came to terms"
To-day. however" he went on,
"the foreign munitions markets are
closed to us. Particularly has this
become true of modern aircraft.
If We suddenly needed military
weapons in quantity and with speed,
We would have to look entirely to
ourselves. 1t behooves us, therefore,
to develop our own munitions"
Mr.. johnson also said the Nation
should manufacture, purchase and
store military equipment as a NUM-

rushed forward to embrace them,
while fellow workers who did not
join the sit-down slapped them on

Physicians declared the men gen.

were sped to their homes nearby in

they wanted most to obtain a bath

Many labor men and politicians
expressed surprise that Mr.. Lewis
designated himself as a negotiator,
but associates explained that he de-
cided to participate actively because
the A. F. L. had charged him with
wrecking the last peace conference
from behind the scenes.
Mr.. Green said he had no knowl-
edge of plans for the conferences,
and expected only that the two
sides would meet to try Ito find a
way to close the breach"
Failure in 1887.
The 1887 negotiations lasted two
months and ended in failure be-
cause the two sides were unable. to
agree on formula for taking the c.
1. o. organization into the A. F. L.
Since then, conditions have
changed. The c. I. O. no longer
is in the status of rebel move
ment under expulsion from the A.
F.. L. Meeting in convention at
! Pittsburgh last November, the c.
I. o. unions established themselves
as permanent organization.
The C. I. o. leadership is reported
to favor blending the two labor fac
tions into a completely new organ
ization and overhauling much Of the
framework, policies and leadership
of the A. F. L.
The Federation, however, already
has served notice 1t would not ne
gotiate fundamental changes in the
organization which Samuel Gompers
founded SO years ago and which to-
day is considered dominated by such
powerful unions as the teamsters,
carpenters, electricians and ma
chinists.
On political and legislative mat
ters the A. F. L. and G. I. o. are far
apart in many instances. The A. F.
L. has asked amendments to the
Wagner Labor Relations Act and is
pressing for Senate committee hear
ings on them without awaiting the
outcome of negotiations. The G. I.
o. Is opposed to changes in the act.
Mr.. Lewis letter was made public
last night by his chief press aide, Len
Decaux, while the c I. o. leader
was en- route to his home. in nearby
Virginia. The brief note to the
President read as follows:
complying with the request con-
tained in your letter of February %,
I advise that the committee to rep
resent the Congress of Industrial
Organizations will consist of Mr..
