FORG OFTEN CHILDREN

FORG OFTEN CHILDREN
 Smallpox is Q discose for which thoro is not the slightest ox- cuso today. We have had a spoc- fife GeCns of protocti on against this ancient acourge since Dr.. Edward Joanor porf ormod the first succos sfUl vaccination in 1796. Tn spite of the fact that safe means of protection against this disease is available to every man, woman, and child in the U.S. and it's territories, thoro has boon c stoody incroaso in tho in- cidonco or smallpox during the past few yoors; from 7 ,813 cases reported in 1856, to double tho number GA, ,335) in 1858, and all among 4nvGecinotod persons. That smallpox is at all prevalent toe day is only because thousands of of thOus Qnds of adults depend blindly on the protection they got as children.
 Because millions have hooded Jonnor's message and secured pro- tection, with the result that we have fewer epidemics today than VIC did 40 years ago, many have basked in Q falso senso of sec- urity and have "put off" this protocti on for thems elvos or their chi i1dren But let no- one enjoy the snug as suronce that this great killer cannot return. It can, an does. It should also be pointed out that it may be too late to wait for waco ination until Q case of smallpox is reported in com munity. A nj Id, undiagnosed case preceding the patient who contnacted it and became acutely i'll may already have exposed Q score of other victims. ""-.:.

LABOR UNDER FIRE

1t is an axiom in the whole struggle
Of the labor movement that when the
going is toughest and the restrictions
are most rigid all of organized labor
as one man straightens its collective
back and forges ahead to new gains
and new liberties. Labor in the past
has always beat back fierce attacks to
it's hard earned social and economic
gains with fiercer counterattacks.
All of these victories, however, have
in the most part been based upon unity
within the ranks of labor itself-unity
in the rank and file and unity in the
leadership. Without this unity victory
for organized labor will be question
able.
In these days and hours of lightning
and devastating developments labor
will do we'll to establish as it's watch
word: Beware. In the name of ma
tional emergency and national defense
the enemies of labor will undoubtedly
try to defeat labor indirectly where
they have not been successful with
frontal attacks. FOR THESE ENE-
MES OF LABOR PATRIOTISM
WILL MERELY SERVE AS THE
FLEECE TO COVER UP THEIR
OWN WOLFISH DESIGNS.

DEFENSE BILLS SEEN THREAT
TO FEDERAL WORKERS

Washington, D. C.-The emergency
naional defense program is being used
as an excuse for legislation "to destroy
the right of government employees to
organize and to take from them many
other privileges won by long years of
efforts James B. Burns, president of
the American Federation Of Govern
ment Employees charged here.
Burns attack was leveled at a Sec
ton of the naval and military pre-
paredness bills designed to speed dis
missal Of fifth columnists" from SER
vice, but which he said, also would
nullify the Lloyd-La Toilette Act of
1912 giving Government workers the
right to organize.
Written charges and the opportunity
for reply by the accused employe
would not be required in dismissal
cases when deemed unnecessary by the
head of the department, under the Sec
tion in question.
Expressing the belief that labor gen
orally would combat the proposed leg
islation, Burns said that "there is no
occasion for breaking down standards
won by labor in the Government ser
vice."

THE CIO MUST PROVE ITS LOYALTY
(The following editorial is reprinted from tn
Philadelphia Inquirer)

(The following editorial is reprinted from the
Philadelphia 1nquirer)
IN PLEDGING it's cooperation to the national
defense program, the executive board of the
CIO, meeting in Washington, has declared itself
Opposed "to any movement or activity of subver
sive character Troj an Horse or Fifth Columns
which are aimed against our Nation and Govern
ment, or the basic free and democratic institu-
tions upon which our Republic has been founded.
These are brave words, sufficiently comprehen-
sive and bearing the right spark of patriotism.
Mere words, however, are not enough, even
though they emanate from so wordy soul as
John l.. Lewis Before the public is convinced that
the expression of CIO support really means what
it purports to mean, it will have to be shown in
deeds.
If the CIO is going to root out subversive ele-
ments from it's ranks, whether Communist, Nazi
or Fascist and give wholehearted backing to de-
fense building, it will not foster strikes such as
that which interfered with naval construction at
Kearny. 1t will not hold out threats of disruptng
the automotive industry. 1t will not swing its
bludgeon over the forces of industry marshang
for national defense
Is 1t will not give comfort, as it has in the past
Ito the reddest and most radical elements within
the labor movement
1t is a striking coincidence that on the same
day the CIO board was indulging in its bit of flag
waving 1T went on record in opposition to the de-
portation of the notorious Harry Bridges, and it
condemned the proposed bill barring WPA to Com
munsts and members of the German Bund.
Pleading the cause of Communists and sympa-
thizers with foreign Powers and in the same
breath, declaring on Fifth COumnsts may
appear perfectly logical to the Lewis mind but
Americans generally may be pardoned for eyeine
the performance askance.
If the CIO is against SubverSive movements
as 1t claims, let it prove it.

TWO WAYS OF LIFE

THIS is Convention Time in the United States
Once every four years, the various parties get
together with considerable fanfare and choose
their candidates for the Presidency of this country
lit is notable affair always, and especially this
|year when so many countries are at war and so
|many lands are living under system where one
lparty is al-supreme and Interchangeable by the or
|derly processes of election.
In this country, the Communist party was one
of the first to meet Small in numbers it has been
loud in its insistence upon it's rights in democ
racy rights which no citizen enjoys in Russia,
land of the partys birth Respectful of the rights
|of minorites-even minority standing for every
thing that true Americans despise-the great ra-
dio networks of this country agreed to broadcast
the convention proceedings.
This gave hundreds of radio stations through
out the country the opportunity to schedule the
Communist Convention. 1t was at this point that
the true difference between two ways of life was
revealed for almost all of the stations exercised
their democratic right to turn down the program
and play canned music" instead They knew that
their American listeners would not be interested.
If the same situation had occurred in Russia,
|or Germany or Italy, the stations wouldn't have
had to make choice. They would have been told
What to do. And there wouldn't have been any
minority party convention for them to accept or
refuse.
Little incidents like these point up the distinc-
ton between the two SyStems-and incidentally, the
stations in question exercised their democratic
rights well and judged the interests Of their audi
ences very wisely!

Military Training
Demanded For CCC

Washington, D. C.-Legislation con-
verting the Civilian Conservation
Corps into military training camps
was introduced in the Senate this week
by Senator Tom Connally (Dem.,
Tex.).
The proposal, it is expected, will be
vigorously opposed by James ]. Nc
Entee, director of the c. C. c. and a
memer of the international Associa-
tion of Machinists.
Recently, when before the House
Appropriations Committee, McEntee
was asked whether he favored military
training in C. c. C. camps, either vol
untary or otherwise, an answered.:
"No, sir; unless Congress says we
must. Before it does that, l would
like very much to appear before the
committee considering it. 1t is i'm
practical and too COSTLY"

NOT PROBLEM OF THE MOMENT ONLY
(By Franklin ID. Il,

IN ANY consideration of the problem of unenl-
ployment relief, it must be borne in mind that
the program adopted to meet it must be envsioned
to extend over considerable period of time. The
reason for this is that this nation, in with
the entire world, is undergoing process of re-
adjustment particularly in connection with the
production and distribution Of goods.
Until our economic machinery can be realigned
to meet present-day conditions the problem of un-
employment will persist and the measures adopted
Ito deal with it must, therefore, be carefully
Thought out and their operation planned to extend
well into the future.

NO BACKWARD STEPS!
0ORGANIZED labor, President Roos

IOORGANlZED labor President Roosevelt and
" other organizations and individuals have given
ia smashing setback to the movement for breaking
down of labor standards on the excuse that the de-
tense program emergency calls for such action.
President William Green and the Executive
Council of the American Federation of Labor led
off with the outright declaration that there is no
sound reason for cutting wages, lengthening hours
|or otherwise breaking down standards. Pres-
dent Roosevelt backed labor in his ''fresde chat"
with words that left advocates of repeal of labor
laws without a leg to stand on. He said:
There is nothing in our present emergency to
Justify making the workers of our nation toll for
longer hours than those limited by statute.
AS more orders come in and more work has to be
done, tens of thousands of people who are now un-
Iemployed will, believe, receive employment
| There is nothing in our present emergency to
Justify lowering Of the standards of employment
Minimum wages should not be reduced 1t is my
hope, indeed, that the new Speedup of production
will cause many businesses which now pay below
the minimum standard to bring their wages up
AS a result of the plain speaking of labor and
1.-THE President, the movement for the smashing of
labor and wage standards has lost whatever force
ut ever had and now seems doomed to an early end.

G A $ u AL TIE S
(From the New York Times)

WE SHALL never know what men of genius took
W their quetus in the Battle of Flanders will
perish in battles yet to come. We shall never know
what gifts meant for all mankind forever were
sacrificed or will be, on the altar of an unhoy am
bition. The dive bombers and the flame throwers
do not discriminate A Darwin, a Dante a Colum-
bus, Kepler, an lbsen, a Grotius, an Erasmus, a
Thomas Aquinas, a Marconi, A Keats, Cezanne,
a saint or a sinner wise man a fool, it is all
one to them.
They who strike at the flower of European
culture strike also at the young men who might
have cultivated it, The singers will be silent, the
artists paints dry up in their pots, spiders will
weave their webs in the laboratories where men
were to have been made wiser and happier, states
men who might have led their countries toward
peace and freedom twenty years hence will lie in
unmarked graves. Some will survive but never
shall we know what infinite human riches have
been lost.
Let these things also be written beneath

Hunger follows War
For War destroys Labor
Setting Labor at tasks of Destruc-

Dead men cannot produce food, OF

Men marked for War, in camps; men
in battle line
Have left their fields and factories
Hands and brains supoenaed by
Mars
But if, and when, they come home
from the wars
They and theirs will be looking for
something to eat
QUERY: Will America feed the
world again?
If so: Under whose direction?
X X X
Rumanian farmers are saying:
"This time next year, there will be
nothing to eat''-
Thousands Of Polish refugees, farm

Are sprayed about, in Rumania
Germany, France
Who is working their fields this
year?
Who will raise that grain, those
cattle
For next years food?
Not Germans: Their blood and
bones
Are fertilizing Flanders field
again
Americas field will be harvested
But at whose commands?

Czecho- -Slovakia is an economic

Spain has been ravaged as by a
plague of locusts-
European Low Countries are being
sucked dry by hungry hordes-
Britain and France, about to be put

Refugees, they are hungry ones
Dislocated by hundreds of thou

From fresides and acres ancestral
They swarm, leaving behind them

Problems of Jewish refugees are
dwarfed, engulfed-
In migrations horrendous, unbe-

But those people are hungry, and
they have no soil
No shops, no mills, machines, or
tools
Nothing but appetites, and chill
dren-
Farming, today, is also a matter of
machines
But tool makers have turned to
making guns
If these hungry millions must resort
to hand labor
Assuming they can have access to
good land
Our clocks will be turned back to
Middle Ages

To feed themselves, give luxury to

Is possible only on terms of mutual

Will this world have another chance
to learn that lesson?
