RELIGIOUS
Committee
WRITES letter
An Open Letter Protesting
American Participation in
Wars Forwarded to Presi-
dent Last Week by National
Religious Committee.

On behalf of the National Religious
Committee of the American Peace
Mobilization the following letter has
been sent today to President Roose-
welt by the Rev FIR. Frederic Hastings
Smyth, chairman of the committee
and member of it's executive council:
Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt
The White House
Washington, d. G.
My dear Mr. President:
With the rapid turn of events in
Europe in which another front is
opened up in the war, it is of the
gravest Importance to the American
people in their intense hatred of fas-
cism and Hitlerism everywhere that
all possible assistance be extended to
those nations which are fighting ag-
gression.
On behalf of the National Religious
Committee of the American Peace
Mobilization | should therefore re-
specially request that every possible
step be taken to provide genuine as
sistance to the Soviet Union and
United China in their mutual strug-
giles against German and Japanese
aggression.
The National Religious Committee
of the American Peace Mobilization
has always pointed out and will con-
tinue to point out, that the best in
terests of the American people can be
served by staying out of the war and
at the same time to insist that genu-
inc and sympathetic support be given
to those countries fighting fasc1sm
But they must also be constantly on
guard against "appeasement," insist
ent in their demands that true aid
against the aggressors shall be given,
and that it shall be sincerely used
by the government receiving it for
this purpose.
We have consistently stood against
the tremendous shipments of oil and
other war supplies to Japan and stood
firmly behind the Chinese people in
their brave struggle against foreign
invaders. We again request that this
aid to an aggressor nation be stopped
and that these materials be sent to
United China.
In applying democracy at home we
shall look for the following demon
stration of good faith:
1. Stop all aid to Japan.
2. Offer immediate hospitality of
the United States to any man or
woman who has previously fought
against Hitler in the Spanish Civil
war.
8. Extend and protect the full rights
of labor in the United States.
4. Aid all countries that are genu-
inely fighting fascism.
The peace our religion calls for is
one which is based on justice and
freedom for all peoples.
Respectfully yours,
REV. FIR. F. HASTINGS SMYTH,
On behalf of the National Religious
Committee of the American Peace
Mobilization.

Conference
ON SOCIAL
WORK HELD
Credit Unions, Consumer and
Self-Help Co-ops Discussed
At Social Work Conference
Called by Community Self
Help Exchanges.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j. Special
conferences ON Credit Unions and
Co-operatives and on Self-Help Coop
eratives were held here in connection
with the National Conference of So
cial Work, June to 6.
The first, chaired by Merton Trast
of Omaha, Nebr., was devoted to the
effectiveness of credit unions and CO.
operatives as a constructive technique
for social workers to help people in
their communities to help themselves.
Helen Gauss of Omaha, Winslow Carl
ton, director of the Group Health Co
operative of New York, Franklin Har-
bach of Henry Street Settlement Co
operative, New York and Miss Resale
Supplee of Washington, D. G. and the
Greenbelt, Md, Cooperative were re-
source leaders.
The meetings on self-help co-opera-
tives were called by the American
Council on Community Self-Help Ex-
changes. Reports on the work of the
exchanges in Richmond, Va, Wash
ington, D. c. and Omaha, Nebr. were
presented. These were followed by
discussions of self-help both as a
method of inserting additional indie
pendence into otherwise charity situa-
lions and as a program for commun-
tiles anxious to engage in commun-
ity-wide programs of rehabilitation.
The second day session on self-help
included talks on co-operatives in
Nova Scotia by DR.. j. Henry Car
penter; Chinese Industrial Co-opera-
tives by Helen Loomis of Indusco;
Cooperative Communities by Homer
Morris of the Friends Service Com
mittee and on the philosophy of self
help by DR.. ] Russell Smith of Column
bia University.

USE OF COAST
GUARD AGAINST
STRIKE IS HIT

The continued threat of the use of
armed forces against American work
ers following the North American air.
craft strikebreaking feat by U. s..
troops was protested by national lead
ers of the American Peace Mobiliza-
ton last week, after Coast Guards
men, June 10, boarded two Great
Lakes merchant vessels whose crews
were striking for union recognition.
Pointing out that this was the first
time in the history of the U. S. mer-
chant marine that Coast Guardsmen
had acted as strikebreakers, Morris
Watson, chairman of the National
Labor Committee Against War, de-
clared that in demanding Coast Guard
cooperation against it's employees, the
Nicholson Transit Corp, owner of the
struck vessels, was inspired by the
example of the U. S. government at
North American.
Gwen if the shipowners' plea that
national defense was at stake were
valid" Watson said, "such a fascist
maneuver would have been directly
at odds with the defense of democracy.
AS a matter of fact, one Of the two
ships was empty, while the crew of
the other, loaded with pig iron, Of
fered to man the vessel until it
reached its destination.
1.-THE company's refusal to accept
the offer exposed the utter hypocrisy
of it's position.
such conspiracy between U. S.
armed forces and private industry is
one of the worst menaces today to
the survival of American democracy.
The U. S. Navy, by threatening to
import Navy machinists to break the
strike at Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co.
in San Francisco, is only contributing
to this dangerous plot against the in
dependence of American workers"

Living Costs

Continued from Page One)
ties as we'll as ornaments, munitions,
planes and other defense items are
chiefly responsible for high prices.
Lack of advance planning, monopoly
control of prices, and price specula-
ton by manufacturers who are accum-
ulating large supplies of things which
will become harder to get, are respon-
sible for shortages. Food price rises
are purely speculative and unneces-
sary.
Even when prices are set in the
face of such shortages as these" the
Outlook said bootleg and illegal mar
kets go up where the price goes sky
high"
Wages have almost nothing to do
with higher prices, despite the petu-
liant protests of employers who are
reluctant to raise their employees
wages. The biggest wage increases
this year have been in steel, auto,
and coal industries, but in none of
these cases have they been sufficient
to justify the industry's increasing
prices. Profits were high enough to
more than cover the added payroll
cost So cutting wages, as many peo-
pie have advocated, would not in fact
prevent prices from rising.
On the other hand, further wage in
creases would make it possible for
more people to meet rising living
costs. Between mid-April and mid
May price increases which contributed
most to the rise in cost of living were
in food, rents, gasoline, and mems
work clothes. Mems overalls cost
1919 more now than they did In Au-
gust 1889.

FSA CLIENTS
find SHEEP
PROFITABLE

Farm Security Administration eli
ents in Valley, Philips and Blaine
counties will realize about $43,500
from their sheep this year according
to Joe E. York, farm management SUI
pervisor for the federal agency.
The sheep are owned by 33 farm
ers in the three counties. The wool
from the sheep will net them about
$22,365 and the lambs commanding a
good price this year will add $20,875
more to their income from the flocks.
Altogether it is estimated that the
average income from sheep for the
individual farmer will total about
$1,000.

While Washington is conducting a

Agriculture Department officials say
that domestic consumption of eggs,

of these foods to Great Britain. One

bile Tires.
| The Federal Trade Commission has
ordered the Firestone Tire & Rubber
Co., The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
and it's sales subsidiary, The Good
| year Tire & Rubber Co., Inc, and
The B. F. Goodrich Co., all of Akron,
Ohio, and Sears, Roebuck G Co., Chi
cago, and Western Auto Supply Co.,
Kansas City, Mo-, to cease and de-
sist from price Misrepresentation in
connection with the sale of automo-
bile tires and tubes.
Commission findings are that the
tire company respondents issued re-
tail price lists for various grades Of
tires for the use of their retail stores;
furnished lists of suggested retail
prices to their dealers, and, during
nationwide sales periods, advertised
and recommended that their dealers
advertise in large number Of news
papers that certain tires were offered
at savings and discounts from the
regular or list prices. Sears, Roebuck
& Co. and Western Auto Supply Co.,
according to findings, also issued
price lists but permitted their stores
| to sell at less than the suggested
prices.
The Commission finds that during
the periods in which the advertise
ments in question were published the
respondents advertised and offered
certain alleged savings and discounts
on tires and tubes. The purported
savings and discounts, according to
findings, were not in fact as repre-
senetd for the reason that they were
not based or computed upon the reg
ular current retail selling prices but
upon amounts which were higher than
the current retail selling prices.
Findings are further that in certain
instances the represented savings and
discounts were exaggerated for the
reason that the purchaser was not
credited with the usual part-payment
trade-in allowance for used tires
turned in at the time new tires were
purchased.
Certain of the respondents, accord
ing to findings, represented that saw
ings were afforded, based upon the
advertised selling price as compared
with competitors list prices. In
such cases the represented savings
were found to be exaggerated for the
reason that such list prices were not
the regular current retail selling
prices of the competitors tires.
Commission findings are further
that substantial numbers of purchas-
ers understand that advertised saw
ings or discounts are reductions from
the regular retail selling prices ordi-
narily charged for merchandise i'm
mediately prior to advertised sales;
that they understand that "list prices,
as used in tire advertising, mean reg /
ular retail selling prices of the tires
and that any represented
savings or discounts from such list
prices are reductions from the regular
retail selling prices in effect lmme-
diately prior to the advertised sales.

DOLLAR-A-YEAR?

Fed up with dollar-a-year men, Rep.

a bill to eliminate them. 1t would
prohibit the government from hiring
anyone who had ever worked for a

laws or similar statutes. He pointed
out that one of his victims, if the
bill were passed, would be the new
