Most Americans believe today
that this country will fight If the
Axis powers cannot be beaten
without the participation of the
United States in the war. This
country has again and again,
both through its elected Execu-
tive. President Roosevelt, and
through its elected legislature,
the Congress. told the world that
it has determined on policies de-
signed for one purpose alone
the defeat of Hitler and his allies.
That being the case. it is neces-
sary for this country to make
plans to meet any threat to its
safety. If there is no way to
safety, in the end, save to carry
the fight to Hitler in Europe,
there should certainly be plans
for such a fight.
Is there any good reason why,
having made plans for an Of
fensive against an enemy, those
plans should be made public? 1t
may be the plans will never be
used. But if it does become neces-
sary to use them, why give the

their eyes were not open they
should have been.
Whole Story at Last.
Unless the published plan"
for participation Of this country
in the war on a huge scale turns
out to be bogus-and there has
been nothing so far to indicate
that it is a hoax-the country
has the whole story at last. For
more than a year the prepara-
tions for national defense have
gone forward. Both the Army
and the Navy have been greatly
expanded. Production OF war
munitions of all kinds has been
geared high. and is going higher.
The administration has not
said that it will send an expedi-
tionary force abroad. 1t has
said, on the other hand. that it
will do its utmost to prevent
such an expedition. That is no
reason, however. why plans for
an expedition should not be ready
If it becomes necessary next year
or the year after. or even later.
It is no reason why men should
not be trained, ships built, and
arms of all kinds produced. This
country has said that Hitler must
be defeated. 1t has said that
Japan must restrain its moves in
the Eastern area. Either 1t means
what it says or it doesn't. If 1t
does mean what it says, the coun-
try must be ready-and plans
are part Of the preparation.

have given the people an insight
into the future.
Half a War Impossible.
There may be just complaint
that the administration has not
been frank-that it did not tell
the country the whole story when
it embarked on it's course of as
sistance to Britain and China and
more recently to Russia. On the
other hand, the President. men,
bers Of cabinet and other officials
OF the Government have not hes
itated to say in perfectly clear
language that Hitler and his sup
porters abroad must be defeated;
that America could not continue
to exist as a free nation in
world dominated by Hitler. II
these oft-repeated assurances
that everything would be done to
bring about the defeat of the Axis
powers meant anything they
meant that this country would in
the end go to war itself. should
the desired defeat of Hitler not
come about through other means,
No nation can make half a
war. and not expect to make a
whole war if the time comes
when it must fight. The only
criticism that can properly be
made against the administration
is that it did not 90 the whole
way in talking to the American
people, that while it implied this
Nation would fight if necessary.
it did not openly say so. The
old pledge that the aid to the
British and her allies would be
steps short of war" did not tell
the story. 1t was clear that
steps short OF war; which
meant all kinds of material aid
to the British, could lead only to
war, if and when it was appar-
ent that all-out aid was needed
for the defeat of Hitler. The
country and Congress agreed to
Evening star., 1941-12-05

measures should be to make labor a
partner in the common effort.
Whether for the emergency or for
the period after it, we must find
way to draw the workers and their
agents inside organized society. and
not put them outside it, as objects,
either of commiseration or of pun
ishment.
For If We do the latter we shall
not have the active integration of
all energies, but sullen and enforced
collaboration. The integration of
all energies under the emotion of a
common ideal and the impetus of a
common goal is definition of ma
tional efficiency.
What does labor really want and
to what extent are those wants
compatible with the national goal?
What Labor Wants.
Labor wants, as I see it, three
main things: First, share in the
profits Of extended production
which means higher wages; second
compensation in overtime for in
creased hours of work; third, an
improvement in their organization
status. by the recognition of the
closed or union shop.
The first demand is obviously just
just in principle. But two reason
able arguments seek TO limit it. The
first is the danger of imitation,
which would destroy our entire eco
nomic system. The second. which
comes from the owners, is that de-
fense represents an artificial boom;
that there is no certainty that in
vestments can be amortized within
the period Of emergency, and that
therefore cushions of reserve must
be accumulated against depression
and not drained OF by high wages.
Both labor and capital have to
answer that argument, and the only
answer possible is that higher wages
and higher profits must be offset
by enforced savings, in one form or
another. II labor is paid higher
wages, labor must save part of
those wages. as a contribution to
national stability.
II capital Is making profits, they

Approach to Labor Problem Should Be Quest
For Cooperation, Not Punitive, Observer Says

must be restricted by taxation.
Both industry and labor must pre-
sent constructive answers to the
problem of imitation, otherwise they
are avoiding their responsibilities.
The second demand requires some
consideration. Greatly shortened
hours of labor were not accepted
by the Nation because labor was
being grossly overworked, but be-
cause shorter hours were considered
an antidote to unemployment. Over
time is now scaled to hours of work
introduced for that condition of
affairs.
If the condition changes, then the
reasonableness of the argument is in
question.
OrganizatiOnal Status.
The third question, of organiza-
ton status, is rendered impossible
of a solution satisfactory to labor
as a whole as long as each of two
great bodies of organized labor is
trying to improve its organizational
status at the cost of the other
The public is justifiedly rebellious at
paying the costs of labor's inter-
necine war.
And the closed shop, or union
shop, opens larger questions OF prin-
ciple which labor itself ought seri-
ously to consider. The closed shop
is an answer to industrial monopoly
"a labor monopoly to Offset indus
trial monopoly. But there are con-
tests between monopolistically in
clined industries and between mo-
nopolistically inclined labor organi-
Zations.
II we continue along this path,

is desired neither by industry nor by
labor.
The truth is that these problems
cannot be solved except by lifting
the whole matter on higher plane,
where the questions can be seen in
all their relationships The question
must be differently posed. 1t must
not be What can we do to prevent
labor from obstructing industry?"
But: What can We do to make, all
together. better present and future
for the whole people? We would
then seek, not anti-labor legisla-
ton, but pro-better economy legis-
lation.
Or even better, no legislation at
all, but a plan advanced by labor
and industry together for the assur-
ance of uninterrupted and efficient
production.

enemy a blueprint? 1t does not
make sense.
President Roosevelt, according
to a copyrighted story published
in the Chicago Tribune, and
since repeated in the House de-
bate on the new $4,000 ,000,O 900 de-
fense appropriation bill. asked
the heads of the War and the
Navy Departments to prepare
confidential report for him on
the production needs to meet all
eventualities which clearly
meant the defeat of the Axis
powers. The report was made
last September, it is said. In
order to estimate the production
needs, it was necessary to get
