| UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

MORE THAN two years have now elapsed since
AA unemployment benefit payments were begun
in all the states. Reports covering II states, an
alyzed by the Bureau of Employment Security
Social Security Board, show that while the unem-
funds of most states are not only solvent
but have increased their reserves, these reserves
''in some states have been accumulated at the eX-
pense of benefit Adequacy
Not only have the weekly benefits been too
SMALL but the period for which these benefits have
been received has been short when account is
taken of the total amount of unemployment eX-
perienced by some workers. In other words,
benefits are inadequate and paid for too short
periods
Findings of the study support organized
iabor's demand for improvement of the unemploy-
ment compensation system. Not only does the
system require liberalization, to provide larger
benefits for longer periods, but it needs strength
ening to meet the serious unemployment expected
when the defense program ends. In some states
with heavy defense employment it is likely that
reserve funds will go bankrupt when hit by post
war unemployment. This is the opinion of those
thoroughly familiar with the unemployment COM
pensation system, including Chairman Arthur J
Altmeyer of the Social Security Board.

The position of the A. +. of l..

Murray and Kennedy argued that
the question before the board was
whether a union which had 81 per

union shop.
After hearing presentation of the
United Mine Workers side, the board
began consideration of recommends

which led to strike of the captive

EXTRA MONEY

FOR ages the price of goods has gone up when
L these goods were scarce and hard to obtain
on the other hand when the manufacturer OF re-
taller found he had an overstock OF certain items,
the price came down to promote sales and clear
the shelves.
This is what is known as the law of supply
and demand. 1t has held good since the beginning
of time and probably will be the determining price
factor until time runs out.
Without doubt there could be q few improve
ments made upon this law, but they shouldn't be
made on the spur OF the moment and at the eX-
pense of the workingman.
Initiation is bad business but Secretary MOI
genthau sounded bit flip when he spoke OF the
proposed Is per cent payroll tax as a measure to
"syphcn the extra money out OF wage earners
pockets to avoid imitation.
Perhaps we are mistaken, but we have the idea
that the great majority of wage earners have no
"extra money" With prices Of food, clothing and
housing all up and the new taxes already passed,
where does the wage Garner get this extra
money!?
Most of the present day WAGE earnerss went
through terrific depression. The workers sui
fered They went into debt in order to eat-and
some didn't even eat any too often or well. They
saw their homes ruined for lack OF repair or they
lost them for failing to make payments. They saw
their family i'll clothed.
Now that these people are working AGAIN
shouldn't they be permitted to regain their ward
robes repair their houses, replace Wornout fui-
niture and pay off back debts? Where will they
find any extra IS cents out Of every dollar they
make?
We all realize that the defeat of Hitler is tc

we have anything to do with his taking power
We pulled the last out Of the fire Tor the
Allies and then allowed them to dictate the peace

at any conference table. Nevertheless Hitler Is
with us and we have cast our lot against Germany
so we will share our part OF the burden more OF

COMMENT ON WORLD !
EVENTS !

The German press in occupied Po-
land reports the conviction in Poznan
lof "a members of an illegal Polish
military" group. Three of them were
sentenced to death, the other 21 con-
ldemned to Imprisonment.
The aims of the secret organization
were to prepare an uprising against
German domination and to restore an
independent Poland. 1t published and
distributed an illegal paper, "Polonia
lPoznanska."
The German press warns the popu-
lation against another attempt at in
lsurrection. There will be no repeti-
|tion, it asserts, of the events of 1913
1919, when the Ostgebiet rebelled
against Germany. Whoever believes
| in reviving the old insurrectionist
|spirit, or participates in subversive
activities will suffer punishment or
death.
The severity of the German policy
| is proof that even in the ''incorpor-
ated' areas, where the persecution of
Poles is at its worst, the spirit of re-
Isistance is unbroken. The death SEN
tences, prisons, and concentration
camps testify that the invader we'll
knows he has not succeeded in gain
ing any foothold in conquered Polish
territory.
What brought about the present
sorry state of the world? The Man
lchurian incident" which took place
on Sept. 18, 1881, was the first of "a
long series Of aggressive acts that
have created today's world disorder,
many students of international affairs
believe.
When the japanese forcibly occu-
Ipied Manchuria in 1881 and estab-
,lished the puppet regime of "Man-
chuko' in the following year, the
world hardly realized that new to-
talitarian pattern of conquest was
being forged and the Wilsonian peace
Organization was to be destroyed
Following the japanese precedent
in Asia, Germany and Italy have in
Ivaded and conquered many a nation in
Europe. And today, decade after the
Manchurian incident" the entire
world finds itself in life-andd death
struggle between the totalitarian
forces of aggression and the demo-
cratic forces of resistance.
AS we look back upon the decade
that has just ended, we must dub
Japan senior aggressor, and Germany
and Italy junior partners. 1t was the
Mikado who led, and Hitler and Mus
solini who followed.

Where We Hdtched Out
The Truth
YOU CAN BE CERTAIN
WE ARE AT WAR
. ADOLPH SCHICKELGRUBER
. AND u. S. ARE SHOOTING

You can put it down that we are at
war.
True. there has been no formal
declaration. But just what do you call
it when Uncle Sam and Adolph
Schickelgruber are shooting at each
other?
And do you notice how ridiculous
Adolph appears when you call him by
his own real family name?
But, about this business of being at
war-it has been looming up definite
ly for many months. Finally it has
come.
The shooting will continue. More
ships will be sunk. Beyond doubt we
merely await the day when there will
be an AEF.
When you go to war you go to win
and you don't miss doing anything
that will help win.
Before the shooting stops, either
Adolph or Uncle Sam will be licked!

That is something that most people
haven't stopped to consider.

Sam will be licked!
So, when you talk about what you
think Uncle Sam ought to do, just ask
yourself whether you want Uncle Sam
to get licked.
You needn't expect any stalemate
as the outcome. And if there should
be or could be a stalemate, that would
h. ~, I,fo e.,
There isn't any such thing as stale
mate for dictatorship Either it exists
and operates, or it doesn't. Military
stalemate, if it were possible, would
be victory for the axis. But it would
be defeat for democracy.
There has to be victory-for de-
mocracy. Victory for the United
States Of America. That won't be
easy and it won't be cheap.
That's why Americans must make
up their minds that whatever war
calls for must be given.
Normal" life is out, until victory
comes, and probably for long time
after.
Those who want to quibble about
the terrific price, or the discomfort,
or whether we should go full force
into action, should be asked:
Do you want Hitler to win?
Hitler has started shooting. He
can't stop shooting until he is
knocked out or until he knocks us out.
So, shall we dilly daily, and belly
ache and hold back in the traces?
1t would seem that COMMON sense
would urge us to fight with all the
force we can muster.
What American wants America to
get licked?
X X X
Finally, here are few observations
on the question of what we may call
informal Northumberland war.
Informal war leaves several thous-
and enemy aliens free to go about
| whatever their business in the United
States may be. The moment formal,
declared war should begin, these
thousands would be locked up.
Informal war precludes the United
States from doing many things that
could be and would be done in de-
clared war
The logic is that while informal war
may be waged for some time, perhaps
even for some months, we move GER
| tainly toward formal war, toward war
in which, internally, as we'll as ex-
ternally, all of the measures of war
can be called legally into use.
But remember always every min
ute, that war has begun and that
when it ends either the Nazi poison
will be licked and wiped out, or Uncle
Sam will be licked. If Uncle Sam
should be licked, all freedom would
vanish from the earth. That must not
