NEED OF THE HOUR

Defense production uninterrupted
ever increasing production the
need of the hour. The world situation
shows this in the strongest possible
manner.
The American Federation of Labor
is fully alive to the paramount need
for production and is stressing it at
every opportunity. The need is
strongly set forth in a recent letter
from William Green to affiliated
unions, in which he asks that there be
no stoppages of work and points out
that every hour or day lost in service
or production halts the defense pro-
gram and serves to delay the date of
it's completion.
"We have now reached the stage in
the national defense program where
every worker in America should pro-
foundly renew his devotion, loyalty,
and pledge of service to the govern
ment, to society, and to the working
men and women of our beloved coun-
try" says Green, adding:
"The call of the hour, the urgent
need of the moment is for service,
service which working men and women
alone can give, service which means
the completion of the defense program
and the establishment of national Sc
curity at the earliest possible date.
The realization of this objective rests
largely with the working men and
women of the United States"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

"The most important function of a
cooperative is not just to make money
but to develop all-rounded personali-
ties and to foster spirit of fellowship
and cooperation among members. Far
from being automaton of production,
the co-operatives members are trained
to be self-reliant and efficient workers
having individually as well as col
lectively strength of their own.
"Thus every C. l. C. depot sponsors
programs of popular education, most
of them have schemes for medical care
of workers, and some of them have
recreation centers, schools and nur-
series for children of the workers.
Technical training is also given to
refugees preparatory to setting them
up in cooperative workshops"
The Chinese cooperative workshops
were founded on the one thing that
Japan had been unable to destroy
free democratic man-power. At pres
ent, tens of thousands of refugees, To-
Gated in caves, village huts, abandoned
temples and other well-camoufiaged
shelters, are producing over $50 diff
ferent kinds of consumer and capital
goods for China's program of resist
ance and reconstruction.
Although some heavy machinery
originally was salvaged from the cities
before japanese occupation, most of
the light machinery used at present is
made in cooperative workshops. Much
of this machinery is primitive, but
sufficiently good for present needs;
and efforts are being made to improve
technique and design. In some indus
tries mass production methods already
have been introduced A machine shop
in Chengtu, for example, makes from
so to 100 improved spinning-wheels
daily, at cost of six dollars (Chinese
currency. In private industry these
wheels would cost $40.

Aeronautical Mechanics have closed
shop contract with the Boeing man
agement. But that means nothing to
the Communists. They cannot thrive
where there is industrial peace. So
they are attempting to organize a dual
union and provoke a jurisdictional
fight"
Meanwhile, aircraft division repre-
sentatives of the United Automobile
Workers of America, G. |. o., have an
nounced plans to proceed with organ
ization work. The local G. l. O. head
quarters, through Richard Francis,
state organizer, however, has an
nounced "hands off" attitude.
Union Members Tried
Thirty-one members of the Boeing
A. F. of l.. union went on trial by the
International Association of Machin-
lists, A. F. of L., Oh charges of foster
ing dual unionism.
Presiding at the trials was Harvey
w. Brown, international president of
the l. A. M Others to sit with him
were E. c. Dawson, general secretary
treasurer, and George C. Castleman,
Oakland; Earl Melton, Cleveland;
Harry J. Carr, Chicago, and James
Somerville, Montreal, international
vice presidents.

One of the most practical forms of
relief ever worked out in any country
is the Chinese Industrial Cooper
atives. In addition to providing more
than $7,0O0,000 worth of essential
manufactured goods annually, this
movement of reconstruction and re-
habilitation gives self-help employ
ment to almost 100000 refugee work
men. The average cost of putting one
man to work is 81. Thereafter he is
able to support himself and his FAM
lily without further help.
The first Chinese industrial coop
erative was started by nine refugee
blacksmiths in the city of Poachi in
August, 1888. Today, 5000 cooper
ative workshops are scattered through
out the interior of free China, and
produce $50 different kinds of con-
sumner and capital goods. Over half
of these units are engaged in textile
manufacture. Next in order come
chemical industries, small-scale ma
chine building, mining, food stuffs
production and transports.
Major Evans Carlson, formerly an
officer in the United States Marine
Corps, recently said that if the pres
ent number of 5000 cooperative work
shops could be expanded to 10000
within the near future, they not only
would put an end to Japanese economic
penetration and provide China and its
armed forces with badly needed sup
plies, but also would help unity the
Chinese people behind non-political
program of economic reconstruction.
At present the C. l. G. is busy con-
solidating gains already made before
it enters the next stage of expansion.
Basic considerations in the process of
consolidation are strengthening edu-
cation and social services. Hubert S.
Liang, director of the Promotion De-
partment of the Central G.. |. c. Ad-
ministration in Chunkiang, recently
said:

Seattle, Wash. (ILNS). - A blunt
warning against any Communist-in-

"a. F. of L. has enough "two-fsted

Beck simultaneously issued "no-

declaring: "This is critical time in
the history of this country. Everyone
must make every possible effort to
speed the national defense program.
Labor is suffering from severe pub

Presentation Of Don Pasquale"
Pleases Audience in Jones Hall

II there ever had been any
doubt on that question, presenta-
ton of the Seattle Lyric theater
players in Donizetti's three-act
comic opera, Don Pasquale," in
Jones hall Wednesday night, fully
justified the College of Puget
Sound Artist course. The opera
was presented under the direction
of Ernst Gebert, founder of the
Lyric theater. Accompanying the
cast was chamber orchestra COM
posed of first chair players in the
Seattle Symphony.
Besides providing an evening of
exceedingly enjoyable entertain
ment, DIR. Gebert again demon
strated that good opera is not
spoiled when sung in English,
other things being equal; in this
case other things being the right
direction and cast and musicians
fully qualified. That was the re-
action of an extremely responsive
audience.
The opera gets off TO a good
start with a lifting, musical over
ture that was the introduction to
a lot of amazingly pleasant music.
giving fine support to an adequate
cast. Part of the pleasing effect
OF the music was due. of course,
TO the Donizetti score. but it was
the conductor and musicianship of
the players that provided the
finishing touch in a work that
makes an intriguing use of the
woodwinds and violins. Though
there was lacking the volume of
the full orchestra, the chamber
group under the baton of DR..
Gebert had a lightness and GER
tainty of touch that was exactly
what is required in small audi
forum. In that connection, a con-
triouung factor was the exquisite
performance of Gladys Bezeau
Phillips at the piano.
There was nothing stilted and
very little convention about Don

or sad and chartered or quarreled
through the three acts. They ad-
mirably interpreted the intriguing
story of the love of Ernest and
Norma, the true course of which
was interrupted when the aged
Don Pasquale marries the girl
himself and finds that instead of

leads him such merry chase that
he is glad to get rid of her. The
