SAFEGUARDS

Experience has demonstrated that
protective labor legislation and hour
standards are for the purpose Of con-
serving workers in order to make pos
sible sustained maximum producing
power. They are the safeguards to
national well-being. In war emergen-
cies there may be temporary need for
abolishing some standards or for mod
flying special standards for special in
dustries. All such notifications and
changes, however, should be the result
of proven need and should be ap-
proved in advance by representatives
of the workers.-A. F. of L. Declara-
tion of War Policy.

imitation. 1t is true that everybody
notices rising prices and complains OF
them. Few, however, seem to sense
they may bring disaster. Discussion
of initiation frequently brings yawns,
in fact. But, as the Consumers Union
says:
"Infation is not some abstract the
ory that interests only economists and
students; it is bread and butter prob
lem affecting every household and ev
cry pay envelope. 1t can slash living
standards with blitzkrieg speed and
destructiveness.
Prices of basic raw commodities are
more than SO per cent above the pre-
war level, the Consumers Union points
out. "This increase is a red light to
the country, giving advance warning
of future sharp rise in the cost of
living unless effective action is taken
by the government"
AS yet, the government has been
tagging in effective action" Trade
unionists can help to correct this by
writing their Senators and Represent
atives, asking speedy enactment of
price control legislation, in line with
that advocated by the American Fed

to the nations war needs and pledges
sent to him by hundreds Of labor or
ganiZations that American workers
will back the war effort to the finish.
AS the nation entered it's first week
of actual warfare, not a single strike
was in progress in defense industries
in the entire country. This was an
nounced by the National Defense Me-
diation Board. 1t was the first time
in two years that America was en-
tirely strikeless.
Such action speaks much more
loudly than words, high ranking gov
ernment officials admitted.
The President announced that war
industries will be placed on seven
day week and that many new plants
will be constructed Immediately to
double Americas defense production.

GOOD MOVE

Swift investigation and disciplinary
action in the Pearl Harbor disaster is
certain to inspire confidence in the
ranks of labor and among all Amer
leans. Appointment of an able special
board of inquiry and replacement OF
the high army and naval command at
Hawaii argues that the government
means business and is determined on
efficiency in the conduct of the war.
If Washington had not acted quickly
and decisively in the Pearl Harbor at
tack, confidence in our military lead
ership would inevitably have been
weakened. The feeling would have ex-
listed that efforts were being made to
protect negligent or incompetent Off
GERS. The governments action will be
hailed as assurance that nothing of
the sort will be tolerated
Of course this feeling of confidence,
based on action to date, will be shaken
unless responsibility for the disaster
is promptly fixed, proper punishment
meted out and all steps taken to pre-
vent, as far as is humanity possible,
any repetition of the Hawaiian sur
prise. That the investigation will be
thorough is indicated by the calibre
of the inquiry board, headed by Su-
preme Court Justice Roberts and COM
posed of experienced army and navy
officers.

SMITH BILL TO BE-
SCRAPPED; LABOR
ENDS ALL STRIKES

Washington, D. president Roose-
velt told his first press conference at
the White House after war had been
declared against Japan that he is con-
sidering calling conference of labor
and business leaders to work out a
program Of voluntary cooperation
with the government.
His statement was interpreted as
meaning that the government intends
to scrap pending anti-strike legisla-
tion in favor of voluntary method
of avoiding work stoppages in defense
industries.
This view was confirmed by Senator
Thomas of Utah, chairman of the
Senate Labor Committee, where the
vicious Smith anti-labor bill, adopted
by the House, is expected to be put
to sudden death.
The President was visibly encour-
aged by the enthusiastic response of

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

during the entire century preceding
the war with China.
AS to industrial disintegration, it is
reported that under the impact of the
economic blockade, japanese indus
tries are now operating at 80 to 40 per
cent of full capacity.
Farming has been hard hit, having
steadily declined, owing to the short
age of men and fertilizers. In coun-
try such as Japan, which raises only
part of its food even in times of peace,
this is especially serious.
The net result of the financial, in
dustrial and agricultural deterioration
is general privation.
"From the level reached in 1886,
the Japanese living standard had
fallen by DO per cent at the be-
ginning of 1941 and will have
fallen by 60 per cent in the COM
ing year," says Contemporary
China"
"In the recent extraordinary session
of the japanese Diet" it is added, zone
Taneo Miyazawa who had the temer-
ity to warn against an optimistic view
of the economy and finance of the
country was turned over to the disci-
plinary committee and was subse-
quently compelled to resign. This
stern measure against public discus
sion of economic and financial matters
is clear symptom of the gravity of
the economic crisis in Japan"
This is all ground for some degree
of optimism in this country as to the
result of the war on Japan, aside from
the military and naval aspect. With
out being too optimistic, it indicates
that Japan is going to run swiftly
into very serious economic difficulties
and may even mean a virtual collapse
of the Japanese military effort far
sooner than most Americans expect
or hope.

That Japan is headed for economic
disaster and ruin as result OF her at
tack on the United States and other
nations is made plain by an array OF
facts and statistics on the empire pre-
sented by Contemporary China" a
reference digest published by the Chi
nese News Service, New York.
Figures on Japanese financial ex-
haustion, industrial disintegration and
agricultural deterioration, stemming
from Japan's long war with China and
the economic blockade, indicate that
the country is risking economic suicide
by her latest onslaught, which, the
more it is examined, the more foolish
it appears.
Japanese leaders, contemporary
China" points out, have admitted ia
pans economic plight. "Both Prince
Konoye and Premier Tojo," the digest
says, shave publicly declared that ia
pan is facing the greatest crisis in
her history. This crisis is not merely
political and military; it is perhaps
fundamentally economic.
For Japan today is on the verge OF
an economic collapse-undert the strain
of an expensive but futile war and
under the strangulation of the freez-
ing orders"
The war referred to is the conflict
with China, the comment having been
written before the attack on Pear
Harbor.
Facts and figures cited by "Con.
temporary China" showing the gravity
of the economic crisis facing Japar
can be only touched on here. Discuss.
ing financial exhaustion, it is statee
that the China incident" will have
cost the japanese government 65,
900, 100000 yen by the end of the cur
rent fiscal year March, 1942). This
sum will be equal to the amount Of
the total government expenditures
