COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Salutary honesty and frankness
have been injected into the discussion
on American aid to Russia by the dec
laration of the American Federation
of Labor Executive Council on the
matter. The council makes no at
tempt to pose as friend or even apollo
gist for Russia; it says it favors aid
solely as means of defeating Nazi
Germany.
This is in refreshing contrast to re-
newed efforts by American Commu-
nists and their sympathizers to con-
vince the United States that Soviet
Russia is democratic land of sweet
ness and light. Even the President
was beguiled into some of the same
kind of talk when he attempted to
give the impression that religious lib
erty exists under Stain. 1t is stating
the facts mildly to say that the Pres
ident's remarks were unfortunate and
made a bad impression.
The A. F. of L. council points out
that Stalin's Russia is the enemy of
democracy. Frankly, we cannot es-
cape the fact that Russia is now also
the enemy of Nazi Germany" the
council says and adds:
"Our whole defense program is
based upon the threat of aggression
from Nazi Germany. Therefore, if
Russia can defeat Germany or even
delay the Nazi plan of world domina-
ton, America would gain thereby.
Practical considerations consequently
make it expedient that we extend such
assistance as we can to help Soviet
Russia fight the Nazi war machine. .
The council goes on to contend that
aid should be given "for practical rea-
sons alone, and without the slightest
pretense that the United States and
Soviet Russia are friends or can be
friends"
At the same time, the council warns,
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-10-17

"our government should guard against
the possibility that closer ties with
Soviet Russia may give her agents
and adherents in this country wider
opportunities to undermine American
democracy from within"
Earlier in the councils declaration
on Russia aid, included in the annual
report to the Seattle A. F. of L. con-
vention, was reference to something
the Communists here and abroad
would like very much to have forgot
ten. This was the part taken by Stain
in bringing on the war. Before Hit
ler's attack on Russia, the Commu-
nists even defended the Nazi- Russian
pact made just before Hitler invaded
Poland; since Hitler's army crossed
the Russian border, they have kept
silent on the 1889 pact They don't
like to hear it mentioned.
After recalling that Russia's deter
mined resistance to Hitler has served
to lift the pressure from the British
and their allies and that Soviet Rus
sia is now fighting to save her own
life and territory, the council says:
"A different picture might be now
presented if Soviet Russia had allied
herself with Great Britain and the
democracies of the world before she
became an ally of Hitler and joined
with him in the invasion of Poland.
"The Executive Council is appre-
hensive lest the change in the war pic
ture may give rise to tendency
among some enthusiasts to clasp the
hand of Soviet Russia as frien1 and
ally in the defense of democracy. AL
ready the Communists in this country
are trying to propel America into close
alliance with Soviet Russia. This is
unthinkable. The teachings and prac-
tices of Communism are just as
noxious and unprinciples as the teach
ings and practices of Nazism."

Court Stenographer Strikes,
Trial OF Judge Is Stopped

New Orleans (ILNS). = John j.
Sheehan, court stenographer OF the
st. Bernard Plaquemine court, staged
a one-man strike and stopped COM
pletely the trial of Judge Meraux who
is being tried on custer proceedings
which has been in progress over six
weeks. Sheehan was receiving 30
cents per hundred words and to fur
nish an original and six carbon copies
of each page of testimony. He wants
$1.25 a page with the usual carbon
copies. Everybody agrees that he
ought to receive more money, even the
Supreme Court, but where it is COM
ing from, they inquire. As Sheehan
is the only man who can read his notes,
it looks as if he will win.

TAXATION PROPOSAL

UNSOUND TAXATION PROPOSAL
Organized labor has declared for
broadening and extension of the social
security system, to take in millions of
workers now excluded and to provide
disability insurance.
But organized labor has given no in
dication that it favors increasing of
social security taxes, as now proposed
in high governmental quarters. The
aim of the proposal apparently is to
curb imitation, by taking money that
people might otherwise spend for the
purchase of goods for civilian use.
Taxes as high as 6 per cent of pay
rolls have been proposed, which on top
of other taxes would impose heavy
burden on employers and workers.
The social security system should
not be used Tor purposes OF expert
mentation foreign to it's primary aim.
1t is designed for one purpose-to pro-
tect the masses as far as possible from
the hazards of unemployment and pen
niless old age. 1t may well be broad
ened to cover temporary or permanent
disability due to illness or accidents
and to pay for medical care and hos
pitalization, as urged by the American
Federation of Labor.
To increase social security taxes to
prevent initiation or to help pay for
government expenditures is to at
tempt to make the security system
serve a purpose for which it was
never intended.

FIVE-YEAR WAR.

YOU ought to start planning seri
ously on how to get the most for your
money, on conserving what you have,
on how YOU are going to get through
this long stretch-if you don't get

Strange as it seems, America is
very short of steel
With the wealth of Croesus in iron
ore in the ground and in coal in the
ground, we are woefully and actually
short of steel.
What an enormous pile of steel goes
into modern war
Get just a whisper of glimpse by
driving through miles of troops on the
move. And then picture the guns
spouting steel through months and
months-and the planes dropping it
and all of the vehicles and guns and
other things made of it.
Steel rules as never before.
After the war, what business in
picking up the steel scraps of war
for the rebuilding of machinery for
peace-time work!
Let your imagination play with that
gruesome idea.
The A. F. of L., in Seattle, has a
lot to think about.
How to live through the war-how
to produce for the war-and what to
plan about the peace of the world
after the war.
There will be an AFTER there has
to be.
Just to beat Hitler isn't enough.
Will we take the responsibility that
must rest somewhere, to insure sanity
after the slaughter, when comes that
awful silence of no more shooting?
Will we get world view of things? ?
Will we know how to live with this
hemisphere and with the world, help
ing-live and let live, in order and in
safety?
Who knows? But maybe out of
Seattle we will get a pointer, finger
slowly moving toward fixed direc-
ton, with a fixed purpose to hold the
finger pointed to a goal. Maybe and
we must hope Soc. M. w.

Soviet Draws
 On Industrial Ural Region
lBY Associated Pressl

Washington - Back of the Yolga lies a new heart of Russia capable of pumping lifeblood to the Soviet war machine almost indefinitely
 It's the UraI Mountain industrial zone, created by the Communists during the last 20 years, and de- signed to meet a need that now looms-A second line of defense against an European invader.
 Some American experts on Rus sian economies believe that more than 60 per cent of Russia war ln- dustry has already been shifted back of the Volga, securely protected by the famous mountains dividing Asi- attic and European Russia.
 The Urals have been known for centuries to hold mineral resources and their iron deposits have been worked on a small scale for hund- reds of years. The timber of the re- zion may be reduced to charcoal and the iron smelted that way. That an tiquated method is still employed in some remote areas.
 
 The Bolsheviks early appreciated the possibilities of the Ural Noun tain region sent scientists to ferret out possibilities. They returned with glowing reports of vast resources. Large coal deposits were found at Kizel. The potash deposits at Solik amsk. they said, totaled about 1S,- a, .-a mary element of explosives and fer tilizers.
 They predicted that the oil de- posits of the Urals were probably more extensive than those in the United states-the largest knownI up to that time. The first oil de- posits were discovered near Chuso-I

Reports have not been sent by the Russian govern ment since 1934).
 The growth of the cities of the Urals since 1929 is regarded by ec- onomic experts as a fair index to the capacities of that area to supply Russia's war machine. Magnetogorsk has come up from nothing to 146,- 000 The 10 key cities all have doubled in size, some of them have trebled and quadrupled

 Next in importance is Chelyabinsk. the point where the core of the double-traeked Russian rail system starts the long pull across Siberia
 The fly in the ointment for Rus sia. so far as the Urals ara concern ed, is their newness. The industrial area is not yet fully developed.
 The United States and Great Bri- tain are mapping their aid to Rus sia largely on the reports of Ural industrial capacity. Bearing on the matter. too. is the question whether Stalin, pressed hard enough. might not make peace with Hitler. Some democratic quarters believe he would not do this under any circumstances, basing their conviction on the theory that both Communism and Stalin

New York = The United States Coast Guard after 151 years of an- swering cries for help, has cupped it's hands and let out a mighty bel low of its own.
 And from snooty yacht clubs, pri- vate docks and busy harbors, mo- torboat seamen are a-put.-putt-put- ting to the aid of their longtime guardian agen1.
 When the preparedness program pulled a third of the Coast Guard $ manpower and a great part of it's craft away from regular duty. the coastline watchdOgs found themselves d-pressed to handle normal work. to say nothing of countless new du- ties.
 And so the Coast Guard needs men and boats.
 It takes only a short visit to the New York district of the Coast. Guard Reserve to see how the ser vice is getting them Here's an in- eident that's typical:
 A lean, sun-tanned, prosperous looking man just under middle age takes his turn in line to see Lient P. D. Mills, in charge of the Coast Guards district reserve program.
 Admitted to Mills office the wis. itor wastes no time.
 "I have a boat" he says. T hear the Coast Guard needs 'em.

 And for how long are you of- fering your boat?" Mills asks.
 The minimum period is a month and here's the payoff on the way yaehtsman are responding to the Coast Guard plea:
 Well, she's yours for the dura-| ton of the emergency-as long asi you can use her.

 Many owners go into service right along with their boats; some re- ceiye commissions if their term of service is long enough and they qualify otherwise.

Look Out For Sabotage

The Coast Guard feels that in- shore patrols are especially neces- sary in the emergency. Piers and industries engaged in defense work must be kept under constant patrol. Temporary reseryists participate in policing these defense areas and also are on the lookout for evidences of espionage and sabotage.
 Boatmen are assured that their craft will be returned to them at the end of the period of service in as good condition as they were received. All boat expenses are maintained by the government.
 Coast Guardsmen like to point to the evacuation at Dunkirk as an ex- ample of the part yachtsmen can play in an emergeney-and they confidently expect their plea to pro- duce the constant force of 270 ac- tive boats they need to meet the pre- sent emergency.

an advertising executive, and a for mer lieutenant in the World War Navy.
 Here's how the Coast Guards new branch came into being. Il dates back to June. 1889, when Congress created the Coast Guard Reserve, a voluntary, non-military organization of private yachtsmen belonging to units, called flotillas, of at least 10 boats.
 But in February Of this year the Coast Guard Reserve and Auxiliary act transferred all members of the former Reserve to the Coast Guard Auxiliary and also set up a militar- ized unit, known as the Coast Guard Reserve, which is similar to the re- serve branches of other services.
 No Military Regulations
 Members of the Auxiliary are sub jeet to no military regulations. mere ly belong to a local flotilla of 10 or more boats and take instructions designed to promote la) cooperation with the Coast Guard, (b) interest in safety at sea and upon navigable waters, Co better understanding Of the rules and laws of navigation and operation of vessels.
 Under the act the Temporary Re- serve also came into being It's in to this branch that volunteer boats and crews are placed Volunteers must be members of the auxiliary. but if non-members come in and of fer their boats, it's a fairly simple matter to get them into the auxil- iary so that they and their boats may be accepted as Temporary Re. During the period of ser vice they are actual Coast Guards men.
 Vessels of about 30 feet are used for boarding duty. Every private boat in the New York district must be boarded and inspected twice a year and the smaller boats are as-I signed to this job. Larger boats, 40I feet and over, are used in open wal ter for inspection patrol and rescuel work
