ACTION BEFORE ELECTION
NEEDED IN WASHINGTON
Nevada State JOurnaD


Reorganization of the war production
board and the clearing up OF numerous
other Washington meSSes, which have
been delayed because of politics, may be
undertaken before the November election,
recent reports indicate.
In the first place official Washington
has discovered through primary elections
in various states that the voters are not
being fooled one bit by the stalling. The
people know what is going on and IN
fact the Gallup poll has disclosed they
are several jumps ahead of congress and
the officials on every vital phase OF the
war effort.
The President, few days ago, told
the various officials to quit talking so
much and get down to work and Donald
Nelson, WPB director, has indicated ne
is through being soft with some subordl-
mates who still think business as usual
and protection for their pet concerns IN
the post war era are essential at TINS
moment.
Though congress has not adjourned
it is doing very little now, but there
seems to be a disposition on the part of
some members and general demand
from the people that action on the tax
bill, on revision of the selective service
act, enactment of laws to weed out chisel-
ing contractors, and the strengthening
of laws to end the wildcat strikes that
are hampering war industries, should
not be delayed until after November l:
The Japs and Hitler are not waiting until
after November l to launch attacks, kill
American soldiers and sink American
ships.
Not single ounce of American energy
should be wasted on politics and there
should be no waiting now for any politi-
cal advantage to accrue to any individual,
party bloc or group.

today as another occupied
country, dominated by Ger
many. For the crown and the
House Of Savoy these new
world Italians have lost their
loyalty. They feel the one
liberal monarchy has missed
everJ opportunity l. 1ree itself
from the control of the Ease
lists and Nazis.
Organization of the Montevideo
conference and the Free Italy
movement have in no sense been
revolutionary activity. 1t has all
been done in the open, and since
Pearl Harbor. Leading spirit of the
movement in South America has
been Torqualis Di Tella, a promi-
nent and wealthy industrialiSt of
Buenos Aires. The conference could
not be held in the Argentine, for
though that country has the larg-
est italian population in South
America, the righl of assembly has
been suspended in a state Of siege.
In Uruguay, however, the latch
string was out. A century ago it
was Garibaldi himself who led the
revolution for Uruguayan liberia
ton. A further factor in the choice
of MonteVideO as the meeting
place was desire to free the move
ment from any taint of us. dom
nation
It is in the United States, how
ever, that the Italia Libre move
ment has its roots and it is here
that the new Italian National
Council under Count Sforza will
probably receive its greatest slim
ulus, through Italian American So
cieties already in existence.
POWERFUL BACKING
Count Carlo Sforza is a recog-
nized conservative, with liberal
leanings. Behind him is the power
full Mazzini Society organization
found in every large Italian cen
ter. In New York it is headed by
DR.. Max AScoli, now an American
citizen, a political scientist of note
who left Italy when Mussolini
came inLU power.
It's secretary is Alberto Tar
chiani, editor OF liberal Ital-
ian daily i'm Paris before the
fall of France. In general,
these Mazzini Society Organiza-
tions are groups of elite intel
lectuals.
The Free Italy movement has
labor backing in The United States,
though it has kept out the italian
Communists.
It is from such diverse elements
as these that this new Free italy
movement and its Italian Legion
will get support.

which are being used by other assemblers.

TOO MANY STRIKES
SINCE PEARL HARBOR

The National Association of Manufac-
tuIers has made a study of strikes since
Pearl Harbor," covering the first SIX
months of 1912.
During that period the association
learned of q consequential walkouts
involving from as few as 119 employees
up to as many as 1882. Most were
short-lived. They cost, in six months
7,176,344 man-hours, which is equivalent
to 1888 man-years.
That does not bulk very large in our
manpower economy. 1t represents MI
mute decimal of l per cent of the men
engaged in war work.
But we feel, with Mrs. Gilmore Herrick,
New York regional director of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and one of
the truest friends organized labor ever
had, that lone strike in a defense plant
is one too many, even though 1t may
have been provoked by the employer as
often happens"
We also agree with the National ASso-
citation of Manufacturers that "the per-
centage of workers involved in strikes Is
not important. Where the strikes oc-
Cured is important. One-ten thousandth
of l per cent of all workers might para
lize production of planes or tanks, II
they struck"
Moreover, the figures compiled by the
National Association of Manufacturers
are not truly representative of the serl-
BUSINESS of the labor situation today;
They have to do solely with strikes, and
most labor disturbances which are de-
laying war production are not, formally,
strikes.
Eight hundred CIOers in Detroit, seek
ing higher wages, took four-day "Vaca-
ton" There was no strike.
Twenty-nine CIOers in Trenton closed
Iar ,-tr o.atc
by refusing to move materials, in pay
dispute. There was no strike.
Thirty hoisting engineers slowed down
work in five Rocheser war plants because
of illness which, their union agent said,
could be cured by raising their 4O-hOur
weekly wage from $65 to $40. There
was no strike.
These are typical items out of few
days news. They have their counter
parts by the hundreds, everywhere.
They are more important than the Of
ficial strike record.

Capital Talk

Formation of an italian Legion
of anti-FascistS in North and
South America, to fight with the
United Nations against the axis,
will be promoted soon with the
return to the United States from
MonteVideo, Uruguay, of Count
Carlo Sforza, former Italian for
eign minister, and Col. Randolfo
Pacciardi, leader of the famous
Garibaldi Legion in the Spanish
Civil War.
Organization of the Pan-Ameri-
can italian Legion from the 10
million Western Hemisphere Ital-
ian descendants will be the spe-
cific arrignment of Colonel Pac-
ciardi. To Count Sforza falls a
larger task of building up an Ital-
ian National Council of Free Ital-
fans all over the world to work
for the liberation of Italy from
FaScism. This Free italy or Italia
Libre movement will not attempt
to set up a new italian govern
ment in exile, but will work for
the idea tiIa} when the war is
over there shall be a constitutional
convention in Italy to determine
what form of government the
country should have.
Mandate to Count Carlo
SforZa to head this movement
comes as a result of the con-
ference just held in Uruguay,
to which some 400 delegates
were sent from Italian anti
Fascist societies i'm both North
and South America. The story
behind the holding of the
meeting in MOntevideO and
maneuvering of Pan-Americans
of Italian descent over the
past few months make it one
of the more intriguing natiO-
nalist movements of the war.
IL is movement which may
i'm the end be just as import
ant as the free French activi-
ties, or the CZechoslOvakian
and YugOslavian independence
movements i'm the last war.
PICTURE CHANGES
Until the fall of France, opposi-
ton to Fascism and MuSsolini had
centered among italian eXiles in
Paris. italian liberals who we're
able to get out of France then
madei their WAY to the United
States and to Brazil, Uruguay and
Argentina. But with the shift of
the anti-Fascist headquarters to
the new world, the character of
the movement underwent a COM
plete change, In France, the anti
Fascists had been merely another
political party in exile. In Pan
American countries, however, the
movement was taken over by the
maiorities of italian emigrees who
had left italy to escape Fascist
oppression.
In launching new Italia
L;bre movement, therefore, the
emphasis was shifted to re-
storing Italy to the ranks of
the democracies in order to
give the people of Italy the
same opportunities which the
! Italian Americans had found
under TIE American re-
pubIics. To these Italians, the
formation Of Free Italy
movement was in no way con-
sidered treason against the mo-
ther country. They regard Italy
