1t is encouraging to all believers in
international cooperation to learn
that although conditions in Europe
have made it necessary to postpone
the International Labor Conference,
which was to have opened in Geneva
on June 5, the International Labor Or
ganization is continuing with it's work
at its headquarters in Geneva and
through it's five branches and eighteen
correspondents offices throughout the
world. Through the emergency COM
mittee made up of members of the
governing body in or near Geneva
working with the director of the In
ternational Labor Office, John G. Wi
nant of the United States, any mat
tiers involving policy can be deter
mined.
Several months before the outbreak
of war in Europe, the governing
body decided that the international
Labor Organization would carry on
its work even if hostilities occurred
This decision had the support of the
governments of the various member
countries and of the worker and en-
ployer representatives
1t was felt that not only should the
regular work of the organization be
continued so far as possible but that
existing conditions made urgent the
need for additional work. The organ.
ization has, therefore, in recent
months been giving especial atten
ton to social problems in wartime
and the solution of labor problems
which will arise in the postwar pc
riod.
In view of the destructive and wide
spread character of the European war
it is remarkable that the |. l.. o. i:

months of war, the l. L. O., with Ger

its work successfully.

Keep Cool

We call upon the ministers and
people of our churches to keep cool
in a fevered time in the firm belief
that an America which keeps out of
war can in the long run best rid the
world of war and promote just and

Lasting Value

The successful resistance of the
American Federation of Labor to the
introduction of Communist purposes
and methods in the labor movement
was an outstanding patriotic accom-
plishment. It's lasting value will be
recognized more and more as time
passes.-John P. Frey.

RELIEF AND NATIONAL SAFETY


Facts on relief cited in report to
the American Association of Social
Workers show far from satisfactory
handling of the relief problem. They
indicate relief standards are too low
and make it plain that the relief sit
uation cannot be helping national
morale.
The relief crisis in Cleveland last
fall when relief to single persons and
childless couples was discontinued for
three weeks, and family groups were
placed upon two-thirds of minimum

Coffee, toast, maybe some eggs?

enough "bulk." And "bulk"
doesn't mean the amount you

"On Tuesday, bombing was, il
possible, more raw and brutal than
ever before. Altogether three hos

In one hospital more than 10 pa.
tents were killed and in another
at least four.
MANY patients were wounded
during these raids.
"Also the bombing of civilians

were dropped among other places,
on Mikkeli, where many people
were killed and wounded; also Kuo

towns, according to reports so far
four people were killed and many
wounded. In southwestern FINLAND
bombs were dropped on Forssa. En-
