LET'S TELL IT TO THE WORLD!

PRINCIPLES enuncated by the Chief Of Ordi-
nance of the United States Army, in an order
issued during the World War, are being given
considerable publicity by Government and other
agencies.
In the order, is sentence Of 10 words that if
taken to heart by all industry, would go far to-
ward the maintenance and improvement of labor
conditions in every section Of the nation now and
in the future The sentence is:
industrial history proves that reasonable
hours, fair working conditions, and proper
wage scale are essential to high production
This sentence, as well as other parts of the
order, which is an admirable statement in line
with what organized labor has always advocated
can hardly be given too much publicity. Why not
tell it to the world every occasion, until it is
ndeliby fixed in private and public policy through
out the nation?

The American Federation Of Labor,
A. f. Of L. Union Label Trades De-
partment, and the United Textile
Workers of America, A. F. of L., sup
ported the measure. In addition it was
backed by organized farmers and con-
sumers and manufacturers interested
in truthful labelling.

ment. 1t carries maximum penalty
of one year in prison and $4,000 fine

A UNION SEES THE LIGHT

'ENllE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACH
ERS has apparently finally thrown off the
Communist grip and as consequence faces the op-
portunity for greater usefulness in the American
labor movement than ever before.
At its recent Buffalo convention, the teachers
union elected set Of Communist vice-presi-
dents and reelected it's president, DR.. George S.
Counts, who has made no secret of his hostility to
the Communist influence in his organization. The
action is hailed by Mark Starr, one of the vice
presidents as proof that the members want gen
uine trade union working in conjunction with the
American Federation of Labor and with policy
to the needs Of the American labor
The temper Of the convention was also re-
Vealed by its action in condemning all Dictator
ships including that of Communist Russia.
Due largely to the Communist incubus, the
American Federation of Teachers has fallen far
short of its opportunities for betterment of the
condition of teachers Now that the Communist
officials have been kicked out, the organization
should take its rightful place in the labor move

LIFEBOATS SAVE $500 IN WAR

London-Lifeboats on the coasts of
Great Britain and Ireland went out
1,1OS times and resumed $500 lives
the first year of the war. They rescued
more lives in this period than during
the last five years of peace. There
were twice as many launchings as
during the first year of the World
War and nearly three times as many
lives were saved.

. FREEDOM FOR WORKERS
LOOK
Because you are going to jump:
twice
First jump will be, if and when,
there is overt act of war
Second jump, when we try to get
back from military status
Back to whatever we can attain of
peace conditions
That second jump may be slow
crawl
You may have noticed
Slow-motion jumps, of investors in
to war production
They want to know: where, how,
when, and by whom
Money invested in plants will be
replaced, after the war
Willing to go forward on 8 per cent
profits
If Uncle Sam will not take too
much of the 8 per cent, in taxes
X X X
When investors put their money in
the game
They want the game fixed, so that
they can't lose
But privates enlisting only expect
That wife and the little ones will
have a real stake
In the country which is going to be
saved, if any
Which is one difference between peo-
pie who have money
And those others who just "work
for living
Now, it is probably a good thing
That we have the kind of people
who manage property
So that after the game there will
be enough to start another game
But it is equally important, when
the game is done
That there shall be somebody to
play the game with
X X X
suppose now
After possible scrap with Hitler's
rough boys
They have put our factories out of
commission
But we still have the American con-
tlnent for our own
Then investors will have nothing
much but wrecks on their hands
Machinery, for war purposes, and
other purposes
Having been ground up by Blitz-
krieg bombs and tanks
That sounds something like total
loss
For means of living will mostly be
pulverized, too
But we shall still have some farm
ers, miners, blacksmiths-
Also carpenters, tool makers, garage
mechanics
Real problem will be, to get back to
three squares day
Two suits of clothes, roof and floor
enclosed with walls

out shell-holes-
Can we fill that prescription, start
ing almost naked?
Well, America did that once, with
out any blue prints
And on the way, set up lot of use
less millionaires-
X X X
Stripped tanks could serve for trac-
tors
Much military junk could be used
for plows and harvesters-
Starting with clean slate would
be an advantage, some ways
Capitalized investments would not
be in the way
No stranglehold of obsolete relics
X X
Remember, after the ball is over
There is more than one kind of die
tatorship-
Tom Girdler represented one kind:
Hitler, another
Neither kind is any good for peo-
pie willing to work
SO get ready in your mind for that
long jump
Back to democratic liberties
And freedom for the workers to pro-
duce.

WAR

WAR
Did you ever stop and wonder
What all this world was for,
You say, at is to live in"
Then why must we have war?
Should man command his brother
To fight and loose his head
Or end up gassed or shell shocked
Or crippled there in bed.
Did you ever stop and wonder
What life would really give
If men would mind their own affairs
And help each other live?

AN AMERICAN

He is an American. He hears an
airplane overhead, and if he looks up
at all, does so in curiosity, neither
in fear nor in the hope of seeing a
protector
His wife goes marketing, and her
purchases are limited by her needs,
her tastes, her budget, but not by
decree.
He goes home in the evening
through streets that are well light
ed, not dimly, nor BACKED out.
/ He reads his newspaper, and
knows that what it says is not con-
cocted by bureau.
He has never had gas mask on.
He has never been in bomb
proof shelter.
His military training, if any, was
an r. O. T. c. course in college
which he took because it excused
him from the gym course, and was
not compulsory.
/ He belongs to such fraternal or
| CARNATIONS and clubs as he chooses
He worships freely according to the
dictates of his conscience.
He adheres to a political party to
the extent that he desires, and may
criticise the policies of his own party
or those Of the opposition with all
the vigor which toihim seems pro-
per, even be it that the theory OF
government of the country is wrong
and should be scrapped.
/ He does not believe, If his party
is out Of power, that the only way
in which it can come into power is
through bloody revolution.
He converses with friends, ever
with chance acquaintance, express
ing freely his opinion on any sub
ject without fear.
He does not expect his mail tx
be opened between posting anC
destination, nor his telephone te
be tapped.
He changes his place of dwelling
and does not report SO doing to tht
police He does not register witt
the police.
He carries an identification care
only in case he should be the vic
tim of a traffic accident.
He thinks OF his neighbors acros!

were across a state line rather thar
as foreigners.
His children are with him in hi!
home, neither removed to a place o.

sacrifice OF limb or life.
He has his problems, his uncer.

He should struggle to preserve
his Americanism with its priceless.

by dragnet arrests of alleged suspects.
They require painstaking application
OF intelligent, modern investigative
techniques, including scientific ex-
animation of the tiniest particles of
evidence in an effort to trace them
to their sources. Pieces of twine and
wrapping paper led to arrest of
dynamiter in a California bombing
case. Metal fragments helped to
identify suspects in the famous Seat
Pleasant bombing case. here some
years ago. The most insignificant
residue may provide an important
clue when subjected to chemical,
microscopic or spectrographic analy-
sis. Laboratory technicians of the
F. B. I. have had marked success in
using scientific methods of detec-
ton, and it is to be hoped that New
York authorities will take full advan-
take of the standing offer of the F.
B. I. to place its scientific facilities at
the disposal of local officers in such
major crimes as the Worlds Fair

Aiding Americas Defense

Whlle the Americas move toward
closer cooperation for economic and
political solidarity against the new
masters of Europe the United States
IS contributing in practical way
to the strengthening of the military
defenses of its sister republics of this
hemisphere.
The addition of an Army air mis-
sion of four officers to the general
military mission which the United
States maintains in Brazil signifies
the direction in which the United
States is helping to prepare for the
possibility of German invasion.
The air mission to Brazil has a
special Importance. Brazil, being the
nearest of any American republic
to Africa, is the most likely prospec-
tive landing point for any air or sea
invasion launched from the Dark
Continent. The presence of the air
mission in Rio de Janeiro will give
Brazil the benefit of expert American
advice at the same time that it
will provide the United States Gov
ernment-which, in the last analysis,
will have to bear the brunt of air
defenses in this hemisphere-with
accurate data on the requirements
for adequate air protection in Brazil.
In the same sense the expected
appointment of naval air mission
to Peru, replacing the Italians who
were called home month ago, will
provide basis for a cooperative
defense of the western coast of South
America.
This new movement of American
officers into the other republics of
this hemisphere is important for sew
eral reasons. First of all, of course,
is the basis that is being laid for ef-
fective cooperation between the
armed forces of the United States
and the forces of the other republics,
which up to now have been pre-
dominantly European advised and
European trained.
Also important, however, is the
advantage to be gained from denial
to European militarists of the secrets
of American defenses. Although mill
tary, naval and air missions as a
rule do not operate as spies, in the
course of their work they inevitably
come into possession of considerable
knowledge Of the weaknesses in the
defenses of the countries to which
they are accredited.
