 Manufacturer Speak
 New York, Dec. 3.-(UP)-The resolutions committee of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers recommended today that Congress outlaw strikes to obtain closed shops during the national emer- gency.
 The proposal was made before the association's Congress of American Industries, beginning its annual three-day session.
 "The number and severity of strikes causing national defense de- lays have become a national me- nace," a resolution said. Tn the public interest, legislation should be passed promptly, and that legis- lation should prevent the abuses of union power which are resulting in defense interruptions and delays.
 Mere reliance upon cOnciliation and mediation will not do the job, Government seizure of plants Is not solution. Such seizure penal- izes the employer for conduct over which he, in most instances, has It. tle or no control.

Defense or Junkets?

This economy might begin with cutting to the bone

Representative Dirksen of Illinois has made pubic
some astounding figures the waste of the New Deal
officials in going to and fro up and down the land,
He says the TRAVEL BILL of the government for
the fiscal year promises to be $50 million dollars
This amount could build 5000 military airplanes
TT is sum- says Representative Dirksen, about FIVE
TINES the total amount of the annual budget of the
state department.
1t equals roughly the total 1910 budget for the
United States Maritime Commission
Mr. Drksen further estimates that this $15O0OOO0O
will be 100000 900 MORE than the travel expenses for
the fiscal year ended June so 1910.
This is hardly cutting non-defense expenditures.
Or maybe these JUNKETINGS come under the head
of DEFENSE"
This is absurd for the travelling expenses" of the
Department of Agriculture last year for instance,
to $15694711.

Lieht Of Freedom

DROF. EDWARD L. THORNDFlE of. the Institute of

in the Scientific Monthly official mouthpece of the Amer
Association for the Advancement of Science:
ut is common to speak of the newspapers of today
purely commercial enterprises managed with an eye
singly to profits, which to be got by circulation,
which is to be got by entertainment for the masses,
which is to be got by avoiding all intellectual difficulties
and appealing to common passions and prejudices.
THE facts suggest that for most of the press of the
United States this is A ISLANDER.
1T would be truer to say that the newspapers of
today, with considerable disregard of the cravings of
the popuace provides conventional mixture of facts
about what has happened during the past "a hours at
home and abroad.
Those who make newspapers apparently still in
large consider their craft to be that of
GETTING AND PRESENTING NEWS"
That Doctor Thorndke states the plain truth
never more evident than today in the United States
1t is probable that in the history of
papers has NEWS-wth few exceptions-been printed
impartiay and completely unhampered by restrictions
of personal opinion.
The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth
is the high principle of the American newspaper in these
troublous times.
There is backout of liberty throughout the world.
But the great light of freedom still shines here.
1t burns with intensity every day in the columns
of the papers you buy
The newspaper today is really Article of the Bill of
Rights IN ACTION.
War max put that light out and obscure those rights
Let us, therefore KEEP|OUT OF THE WAR-and
preserve freedom of the press and of speech and
constitutional right Of opposition for when these go
are SUNK.

TO THE aloof minority who shrug their

swer to your questions on the future course
of German domination and its effect on

lowing prophecy as to their destiny:
Let us suppose that Germany has humbled

that including America in the nightmare.
From the moment the AK of totalitariansm
brushes TIE life out of our democratic way of
life the average citizens status quo is reduced
from its present Importance to the ironical
mockery of lifelong slavery.
There won't be anything as friendly as

ness denounce the Nazi regime in deserving
tone, but there will be concentration camps
into which peopleD with ideals self-respect.
insane notions about government of the
people will vanish secretly from the fold
Why go any further than this picture Of

realize that Germany in its present state of
aggression is a potential threat to the indie
pendence of every American citizen?
l say we should send arms to Great Britain
and then, when we are fully prepared, declare
ourselves openly against the Nazi parasites
to finally crush them forever,
Any one who bindly advocates the OBJ
