THAT PEGLER PERSON

Reprinted from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
CROTCHETY OLD Westbrook Peger, who is
~ capable Of a liver upset that has almost become
medical phenomenon, has had another of his bad
days.
In fact, Mr.. Pegler whose writings appear on
the page opposite, must look back upon the dog
gonedest succession of bad days since Job had his
boils.
Sometimes we suspect Mr.. Peger, arising in a
good humor drags out one of his pet phobias and
beats himself about the head with it for the sheer
pleasure of getting back into bad humor.
TO our guests of the American Federation of
Labor convention, it might possibly seem more
hosptable if the Post-Tntelligencer were to with
hold Mr.. Pegers vapors while this convention is
in session.
To them we point out that Mr.. Pegler has more
than once been thorn in our own flesh and we
still publish him.
It's all part of our policy of giving man his
say, even though it hurts.
We believe that's the only way to publish a
newspaper and keep it worthy of the faith it's
readers put in it,
We believe this is more than ever important at
this time when democracy is in peril and one of
the cornerstones that supports it is the freedom of
the press.
And are certain that the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor which is in the forefront of this
fight for freedom, is quite capable of stomachne

the most valuable hertages-freedom of express

President Philip Murray and the Ma
tional Defense Mediation Board. A
provision in the IVA constitution en-
abled the minority to call the walkout,
so the organization now plans to
change the wording to avoid such
happenings in the future.

dent of the IVA, who defied the de-

NEW DEFENSE HOUSING POLICY
TMPER ATIVE

EORTHRIGHT, BLUNT and needed criticism OF
the national governments weak housing policy
in the defense program is contained in section
of the American Federation Of Labor Executive
Councils report to the Seattle convention.
The report scored the attitude toward the
place of public housing in the defense effort as
lone of hesitancy and indecision." Much precious
time, the report points out, was devoted to re-
peated efforts to cajole private builders into doing
a job on their own initiative and in their own way
which the Federal Government could have started
Immediately and completed without delay
"No CALL" it is further charged, "was sounded
for single, unified, planned program which would
fit the long range needs of defense communities
and could be administered through the existing
network of 618 local housing authorities equipped
to build the housing best suited to the require
ments of each community and to the needs of it's
workers."
at cannot be denied,' the report declared,
"that the absence of such an aggressive policy
served to bring about the acute housing crisis in
conditions, which threaten the welfare of defense
workers in the face of approaching winter and
threaten the defense program itself, must be
promptly brought to an end We ask that hous-
ing program be formulated which wou, make
speedy provision of durable sanitary, and livable
housing for defense workers the prime objective,
second to none"
The report, approved by the convention,
throws light on subject on which there has been
too much pussyfooting. Action is imperative
aggressive and intelligent action-taken without

as one of the most dangerous things that car
happen in a democracy he adds.
Students of labor and industrial history agree
with the President on the danger of using Fedora
troops in strike situations. The sources that de-
mand such action are usually "hystercal," to use
the Presidents expression and the demand is
made without thinking through what would bt
the consequences to democratic practices of en-.
poying Federal troops as strike-breakers.

THE WIND CHANGES

THE DRIVE to amend, change or totally repeal
the Neutrality Act will undoubtedly succeed
although there will be plenty of debate IN Con
gress before the isoatonist group of Senators
and Representatives is finished with It's oppo-
sition. The fact that success is just around the
proverbia corner is a striking indication of the
, tremendous change in American public opinion
that has taken place in the past two years.
When passed, the Neutrality Act carried the
sentiment of the country which was overwhelm-
ingy opposed to direct or indirect intervention in
the The great majority OF the people felt the
war was purely Emope's business and none of
ours. They preferred to see Hitler defeated, but
could see no reason for spending their money re-
sources and lives to do the job. They wanted
American ships and citizens kept clear of the wal
zone and while they were not against making war
materials, they wanted the users to come after it
and pay on the line.
TO say that the wind has changed is the year s
greatest underStatement. 1T has been revolution
airy. Practically everyone seems willing to do
everything possible to defeat Hitler with the eX-
ception of sending another A. r. f.
The countrys political leaders have done
much to bring about the change in sentiment In
matters of foreign policy the views Of Mr.. ROoSe-
welt and Mr.. Willle are practically identical. The
proposal to repeal the act, introduced Monday by
three Republican Senators, is said to have been
written by Mr.. WilIkie. Both the press and the
radio in this country have been interVentlonst in
tone almost without exception.
The idea in back of the change appears to be
more a vital act of policy than anything else In
other words, it would place cards on the table,
stating in effect that the United States is aban-
doning all legal pretenSes Of -partisanship.
TO change the act ust to arm merchant
ships and send them into dangerous waters would
be silly 1t would be practically impossible to give
them sufficient armament to do anything but in
vite disaster.
After three or four more sinkings, which
weakly armed merchant ships would seem to in
vite, this country will be in real shooting war.
How long do you think it will then be before an
A. +. f. is formed? Then our change will be
complete.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hutched Out
The Truth
TIME FOR LEWIS
. TO GRAB HEADLINES
ON GRlDDLE NOW
MUST JUMP SOON

Look for some headline grabbing
performance by John l.. Lewis before
long.
1t has been his practice to start
something that would gum up the
front pages during A. F. of L. con-
ventions, but this year he hasn't been
very successful at that.
This year his eyes are on his own
CIO convention, where the gamble Is
for high stakes.
Odd character, this John L. Lewis
He probably doesn't think so, but he
is, just the same.
The little furry over the Currier
Company in Detroit has been puffed
up beyond it's real Importance, but it
hasn't been big enough to mean any
thing in headlines. Look for some
thing to come.
Perhaps John L. will come out for
defense, all the way-or even for
shooting war.
1t isn't impossible. Much will de-
pend upon what the scouts report
back to him, in his enormous office
with it's imperial air.
Lewis stands to lose out in the CIO
and he doesn't want to lose out. Very
muchly he doesn't want to lose out.
He doesn't want to be just an "af-
filiate," after running the show. .
Business of suggesting that daugh-
ter Katharyn Lewis might run for
CIO secretary was lot of hobgob-
bin. Some folks hope she will run.
1t was something like a trial balloon
and it seems to have got bad kick
ing around.
Nobody much is very scared now of
the man who had half the nation
scared just such short time ago.
x X X
1t would be easy to twist the Lin
coin saying and point out that maybe
you can scare all of the people some
of the time and some of the people
all of the time, but you have to have
a better scare machine than is pos
sessed by John l.. Lewis before you
can scare all Of the people all of the
time.
Of course there will be those who
will rise with rebuke and say that
here is man who has tried only to
advance the interests of the workers
and that he oughtn't be criticized.
And maybe Lewis himself has
thought of himself in just that way.
But somehow the thing has lost it's
crusading flavor and it looks like
something that has settled down to a
combination of sheer business and
high politics.
There is drama in politics and John
l.. Lewis loves drama
X X X
The trouble with the world stage
today is that there's a great war 60
ing on and you can join in the drama
successfully only by being a part Of
it, being for it, or being against it.
Lewis hasn't cut very good figure
playing against it, he can't very well
get into it-and so, perhaps he will
find it good idea to come out for it.
The Communists who were his
friends when Russia was an axis
partner and when he was against the
war, are out for his scalp now.
A cat on hot griddle usually
jumps somewhere unless it is too
badly burned to jump.
John l.. Lewis right now is on a
darned hot griddle.
1t seems logical that either an in
voluntary muscular reaction from the
heat, or a reasoned conclusion that the
heat is beyond endurance may bring
about something approaching the ath-
letic in movement.-CMW.
