thought essential to their we'll being.
There's no room for self culture in
any form. I've seen some women
who seem to depend on the comforts
of beauty culture and clothes survive
the changed order magnificently and
rediscover themselves. Others have
been defeated and crept back to
where they still found some vague
semblance OF the life that had once
been theirs.
We are naturally not permitted to
know anything that officially is
going on"-the severest lesson for
an inquisitive female mind and the
hardest lesson for a woman who
had been used to sharing her life.
Jock and I often wonder If our
other life ever existed. We cherish
the thought of leave, but when it
comes it is overshadowed by present
facts. 1t is as If we cannot rest
until this war has been won. Seen
in retrospect, we know now where
our peacetime lives showed bare.
When we are allowed private life

What did it matter if all the mid

and the final realization making

All these things and many more
are all a part of the job in hand.
They are magnificent, these wives,
having their comedies and tragedies
with great gallantry.
In this remote place there are 80
officers. the wives of two of them
and group of w. A. A. F.s living
in farmhouse hotel -officers' mess.
The village is S miles away and
there is nowhere else to live for
the men billeted in the village. The
officers are mostly pilots who start

the vast responsibility of seeing
that all is in order. There is an

I was pulling my weight in this war

Then suddenly I realized that
wasn't-that stoically facing fall

over to America wasn't enough and
that my job, if it were possible,
was to be near my husband wherev-
er the R. A. F. sent him. So

GREEN URGES LABOR COOPERATION
IN DEFENSE SAVINGS BONDS PLAN

Washington, D. C.--President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
tion of Labor urged the officers of
National and International Unions
State Federations of Labor, City Cen
tral Bodies and Federal Labor Unions
to cooperate in every community with
the plan of the United States Treas
ury, beginning May l, to sell its new
Defense Savings Bonds to all citizens
as an important part of the National
Defense Program.
Declaring that "in recent confer
ence with Secretary Morgenthau as
sured him of our complete coopera-
tion and support" Mr.. Green said:
"The Federal Government is seek
ing to utilize the saving ability of
individual citizens in order to provide
it with funds which it must neces-
sarily borrow during the critical years
which lie just ahead. The economic
welfare of the entire country will be
promoted and protected through the
pursuit of such a policy.
"The Government could follow a
more easy way by borrowing money
directly from banks and established
loan organizations. Such action might
promote initiation and serve to increase
our cost of living.
"The purchase of Defense Savings
Bonds by millions Of wage earners

and by the membership of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor will serve
to hold down the cost Of living and
provide for the American people a
large reserve of savings. This will
serve highly useful purpose during
the period of adjustment following the
termination of the existing national
emergency"
Pointing out that in recent years
the U. S. Treasury has marketed zap
proximately four billion dollars worth
of United States Savings Bonds" in
small denominations, Mr.. Green con-
tinued:
"In the larger program originated
and which will be launched by the
Treasury on May 1, the Government
is appealing to the officers and men,
bers of the American Federation of
Labor to purchase Government Sc
curities which will be offered in small
denominations. Plans which will pro-
vide for the purchase Of these bonds
out Of wage earners' savings so that
payments can be made as easily as
possible, will be formulated and ap-
piled. This means that the financial
strength of the wage earners of our
country by being modified in support
of this systematic savings plan can be
used to make the nation stronger and
safer than ever before"

Sebring, Ohio.-Today, when you
read so much Of radical labor leaders
and communists within the ranks of
labor, the detrimental effect their
activities are having in retarding the
national defense program, how in
creases in wages must necessarily be
felt in increased living costs, and the
unpatriotic, undemocratic attitude of
labor in demanding its share of the
profits of industry, one is led to Won
der if the powers that be in our
financial world are really as concern
ed in the welfare of these United
States as they would have US believe;
or, are they simply drawing red
herring across the trial to blind US
as to their real selfish purpose?
When we read from a very reliable
source that the profits per employe

wages, taxes and the usual six per
cent interest on capital invested, has
been deducted, amounted to an aver
age Of three hundred and thirteen
dollars, and run as high as seven hum

In NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. address,
which was especially directed to the
twentieth anniversary dinner Of the
Workers Education Bureau of Amer
lea in New York City, Mr.. Green
said:
"The five million members of the
American Federation of Labor stand
resolute in their faith in democracy,
their faith in progress, their faith in
individual freedom.
"They will work and sacrifice and
fight, if necessary, to safeguard and
defend their faith. They are conf
dent that democracy is strong enough
to defend itself on democratic basis.
They will not listen to the false plea
that democracy must cut off its right
arm, that freedom must abdicate, in
order that cur democracy and freedom
may be preserved.
"The way to win is not to surren-
der but to work and fight with all the
power, all the struggle, all the de-
termination and all the faith that
God had given u.s."
Mr.. Green assailed the false propa-
ganda Of totalitarian dictators which
is designed to weaken popular faith
in democracy. He said:
"They boast of victories, but these
victories are not victories of science,
not victories of human enlightenment,
not victories of human progress. They
are merely victories of brute force,
victories that have been achieved by
the callous murder of countless num-
bers of innocent men, women and chill
dren.
"They boast of efficiency, but their
efficiency is not the efficiency of will

accomplishment Of lofty purpose.
Their efficiency is merely the effici-
