Newspaper Men Given
Bounce" By Bridges

Seattle, Wash.-Five members of
the Seattle newspaper guild got rough
treatment from their CIO brothers in
the longshoremen's union here.
The five newspapermen, all repre-
senting the Seattle daily press, were
forcibly hurled from q longshore meet
ing which the union had invited them
to cover.
The rough stuff came at the in
stigation Of alien Harry Bridges, coast
maritime leader, who demanded that
newspapermen leave the hall before
he spoke in defense of the Communists
ousted last week from the CIO In
dustrial Council.
After the rough-housing of the re-
porters, dissatisfaction with the entire
CIO setup was freely expressed by
The affair famed talk
Of application for an AFL charter
under craft setup which would auto
matically keep the Communists out.

WHERE FREEDOM CREEPS IN

A MERlCANS have often wondered what the
Germans, Italians and other totaIitaran peo-
pies think when they read items in what pass for
newspapers about the election campaign in the
United States. With all the malignant skill Of a
DR.. Goebbels, news dispatch or an editorial about
the merits or demerits Of the contestants in the
American Presidential election cannot conceal the
fact that there is a contest. Now sometime or
other it must occur to the totaIitaran reader that
the people ''out there beyond the walls Of the
coordinatcd paradise, have the right to vote and
choose their own leaders, from President to the
lowliest Sheriff.
1t must be dangerous thought that is quickly
put out Of mind, for the fear cngcndercd by what
ever variety Of Gestapo or Ogpu cuts deep into the
being Of man. woman and child. After 4 time
freedom ceases even to creep into ones conscious
ness the idea is suppressed by an inner censor.
The physical backOut Of town and country at night
is extended to the mentality, and destiny is again
handed over to the poets, artists, scholars and
others able to entertain dangerous thoughts with
out fear Of consequences
Yet the lightning penetration OF ideas into the
minds Of totatmian peoples must occur, and it
must be uncomfortable. One can imagine Ger
man on a subway suddenly struck by thought
and Glancing nervously about to see whether a
diabocal neighbor has discovered him in the pro-
cess. 1t cannot be a very pleasant way to live.

MOBILIZING AMERICAS STRENGTH

WITH it's vast surpuses of men and materials
America can gear it's economy to a high
Ispeed defense program and still have sufficient
reserve energy to keep normal production OF goods
Operating at full strength.
This was the heartening conclusion reached by
four authorities who participated in a forum dis,
cussion on "Mobilizing Americas Economic
Strength" at a luncheon given by Alfred P. Sloan
Jr., Chairman of General Motors, during Auto
Show week in New York. The 800 industrialists
and business men who attended the luncheon were
assured that America was not likely to find itself
impaed on the horns of the dilemma which is
troubling Europe. Except to eliminate temporary
bottlenecks in defense production, we shall not
have to stop producing butter and concentrate on
guns, they declared.
The board Of experts consisting of Professor
Sumner H. Slichter of Harvard, DR.. Harold G.
Mouton of BrOOkingS Institution, Paul Hoffman,
President Of Studebaker, and Charles F. kettering
of General Hotors Research fame, reached the con-
clusion that second only to the job of carrying out
the defense program with all possible dispatch
was that of stepping up normal productivity to lay
Ia solid foundation beneath both the rarparts of
defense and the way of life they are designed to
guard.
81 have no reservation that, given a reasonable
amount of time, we can develop and will develop
a most effective defense the military side," Mr.
Sloan told his guests. "But on the economic side
/ have grave apprehension. | believe that the
greatest danger and the most difficult part of our
defense, using that term in its broader sense, is
the protection of the American way of living
against attacks from within-not from without
Industry is indeed confronted with challenge
today worthy of its finest mettle. But the leaders
who attended Mr.. Sloan's luncheon left no one in
doubt that they were confident in their ability to
give the United States both strong right arm
and rugged constitution to back it up.

RUSSIA IN THE DARK

THE Nazi-Soviet pact contained an explicit pro-
vision that Germany and Russia would con-
suit together on all matters OF common interest.
Yet although the operation on Pennsylvania eX-
tended to the Soviet border, Moscow was not in
vited to the Vienna meeting which decreed the
partition. Since the annexation Of Bessaraba,
Russia is established at the mouth Of the Danube
but the NaZis ignored the Russians in calling a
conference to set up a new regime for the river
Russia and Japan are at swords points in the Far
East, but there is no evidence that the Kremin
received advance information when Japan joined
the Axis. AS far as Soviet interests are concerned
Rumania is as vital a spot as Poland, and now we
learn through a statement Of the official lass
Agency, that Moscow not advised of the dis
patch of German troops to Rumania.
For the fourth time within month Hitler has
encroached on Russian interests without bOtherlng
to consult Stain, and this series Of Sights must
be resented by the touchy and suspicious master
of the Kremlin. On at least three occasions he
has publicly expressed this resentment. But the
protest against exclusion from the Danubian com
mission and the troop movements following the
Vienna award might be interpreted as reminders
that Moscow was not to be counted out of Axis
calculations The latest declaration is more seri-
Gus; it implies that Moscow has been counted out
and knows it.
Until words are succeeded by acts-such as
support Of Turkey, on one hand, or Soviet pact
with Japan, on the Othel-it is too soon to assess
the real weight of Russian reactions to these
moves Stain will hardly switch to the democratic
side as long rs any profits are to be squeezed out
of the devious partnership with the other dicta-
tors. But there are evidences that he perceiveS
that the profits are limited. TO be barred out of
the Balkans, to be beaten to the Straits to see
the Germans at the Carpathian and the Black Sea
gates to the UkrainC-theSc unforeseen COnSe-
quences Of the Nazi-SoVet agreement must make
Moscow uncomfortable.

CITIZENS ENTITLED TO FACTS

SHOULD that tabled little man. John @. Citizen,
~ be informed about how many kids used the
city Fairgrounds last summer and what the NUM-
cipal hospital pays out for each patient? Does he
have the right to find out whether the citys street
lighting is adequate by examining the evidence of
municipal crime and accident rates?
Yes, according to document just published by
the International City Managers Association,
which consists of a checklist of 257 items con-
sidered worthy of inclusion in annual municipal
reports.
Yes, says organized labor, which, sup
porter and champion of democracy stands for the
fullest publicity on the workings Of government.
The list, which compiled with the aid OF
about 50 well-known authorities in the various
government fields, includes items for every city
activity from health to city planning. While many
cities will not be able to report every one Of
the items in the checklist, the association said,
they should all report more information about
their activities or departments than the checklist
itself specifies. A general descriptive Write-up is
recommended for every municipal department, to
-frcllde an outline of and unfamiliar activities
and discussion of good and bad results along with
personnel and financial information.
The checklist leaves the method of presenting
the suggested items up to the individual city, but
mentions that tables, graphs pie charts and pic
torial statistics are handy ways Of showing John
@. how his taxes are spent. Lengthy statistical
tabuatiOns are out.
The list is offered as tentative one, and city
governments are invited to send in their Sug-
gestions for changes and additions.

500 900 FAMILIES AIDED BY FILA
IN 1910, ADMINISTRATION SAYS

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-More
than 100000 families have been en-
abled to buy, build, or improve their
homes under the FILA program thus
far in 1910 alone, Federal Housing
Administrator Stewart Mcdonald an
nounced here.
"About 100000 families used the
FILA facilities in all Of 1882" McDon-
aid said" and the FILA program has
provided the means for better housing
to more than 100000 families in a
little more than six years. These
families comprise probably at least
100000 persons who are enjoying
the benefits of the National Housing
Act.
Further than that, these families
financed the buying, building, or mod
ernizing of their homes with funds
advanced by private financial institu-
lonesome 12,5O0 of them-at the
lowest rates and the most favorable
repayment terms and with the strong
est safeguards ever available to home
owners in this country"

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Free of interest loans from various
British trade unions to the Govern
ment now exceed 100000 pounds ster-
ling. All these contributions have
been made since July 5, when the Gen
eral Council of the British Trade
Union Congress decided to transfer to
the Treasury 10000 pounds of sterling
of it's funds free of interest and to
recommend affiliated unions to follow
this example wherever possible.
The contributions are indicative of
the kind of support British labor is
giving the nation in it's war against
Nazi aggression. 1t is one of the
many proofs that labor has made up
it's mind irrevocably to end the Nazi
menace and will do all in it's power
to bring this about.

When taxpayers feel that their city
government is being run on sound
basis, they pay their taxes promptly
and the city profits thereby. This is
the consensus Of six cities whose tax
delinquencies were among the lowest
in the country last year, according to
a survey by the Municipal Finance
Officers Association.
Finance officers in the "a cities
which had less than 5 per cent delin-
quency in 1889 were asked to list
chief reasons for their good collection
records. Of Is replies received, those
from Sacramento and San Diego,
Calf, Denver, Col, Buffalo, N. Y,
Bridgeport, Conn.,, and Cedar Rapids,
Ia., all cited such factors as "whole-
some respect for municipal govern
ment," public confidence in the gov
ernment," and "operation of govern
ment on good business principles"
Contributing to the business-like
conduct of government, according to
the cities, are reduction of current
operating expenses and a sound debt
policy, careful adherence to budgeting
and modernization of municipal de-
partments.
X X X
Tax collection campaigns, for both
current and delinquent taxes, also
were given as important reasons tor
the good records of cities in the group.
Long Beach and Pasadena, Calf, Buff
falo and Niagara Falls, N. Y, Hart
ford, Conn.,, and Denver listed tax
drives as a favored means of improv-
ing collections.
Long Beach, for example, said:
Every effort is made to collect cur
rent and delinquent taxes by letters,
telephone conversations and personal
calls" Los Angeles, Denver and Buff
falo reported that a firm policy on
penalties for tax delinquency was
valuable.
Low tax rates were responsible for
good collections, according to Los
Angeles, Bridgeport, Pasadena, and
Birmingham, Ala. Buffalo gave special
credit to it's stable annual tax rate.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hutchet Out
The Truth
. DEFENSE VS.. POLITICS
BETTER AFTER ELECTION
O IS WAR BREWING?
o LABOR INTERESTED

1t will be good when the election
is over and Defense is no longer as
much matter of national politics.
Nobody can today really know how
Defense stands and nobody can be
sure just what international policy is
all about, because both of these things
get kicked around in the political ring,
which is none too clean.
Is Defense moving too slowly, or is
it going O. K? Are we provoking war
in the Orient, or are we doing the
right thing?
Your answers, when you get them,
are likely to be loaded with partisan
thinking and partisan reporting.
1t will be good when these things
can be looked at without the necessity
of trying to see facts through a screen
of propaganda smoke.
Labor is vitally interested in our
whole Defense picture and in our for
eign policy, for lot of good reasons.
And, while thinking of these things,
labor might remember the recent
statement of Ernest Bevin, England's
No. / labor man in the Cabinet, to
The effect that there is no room now
for silk hats in the FOREIGN office, nor
for brass hats in the army
A lot of brass hats ride on top of
bone heads.
Best evidence that can be dug
up indicates that Defense is NOV
ing at real speed. Labor is help
ing it move that way.
Plane production probably heads
the list Of speed operations.
But guns and tanks and all other
things are rolling, too.
Some bottle necks, to be sure-but,
remember that six months ago we
were still talking in terms of peace
time production. We have turned
around and started this new course
with amazing speed - breath-taking
speed.
We probably don't half realize our
new appearance yet. It's like looking
at picture of a mountain and then
looking at the mountain. We haven't
even had a chance to look at the
mountain.
AS for the Orient, there's some
thing to think about.
Clearly Japan started out to bluff
the United States down, or else to
force war.
Japan made the threats-not the
United States.
The United States could back down
as Chamberlain did at Munich--or
stand up and say "no farther!"
Japan, tied up with Germany and
Italy, was set to grab every inch if
the United States got scared and
backed up.
If we miss war in the Pacific it
will be because we didn't back down.
X X x
But that picture is being distorted
all over the place. Japanese and Nazi
propaganda are partly responsible for
that distortion.
We do have to look out for foreign
propaganda. This morning there came
to this desk volume an inch and a
half thick-Nazi official propaganda,
printed in the United States.
The japanese, too, are very busy.
They all know that Americans do a
lot of emotional thinking, for which
they may be sorry afterwards. But it
is easy going for the propagandists
at the outset.
And in the midst Of political cam
paign it is easy to play on this
emotional thinking and add to the
twisting of American opinion.
Somebody has said something about
national unity. 1t is about time we did
little concentrating on national unity.
We never needed it so much.-CMW.

important to their welfare as the risks of industry
against which employers are so adequately covered
are to them. 1t is of prime Importance for natl
