We Are Ready

THE offensive against initiation is not divisible.
Let's move on the whole front now! We are ready"
That's the message which the National Farmers
Union has sent to President Roosevelt, calling for
immediate application of all of the seven points of
his antnfiation program.
1t strikes almost exactly the same note as the
resolution wage policy and the seven-point pro-
gram adopted unanimously by the recent Executive
Board meeting of the CLIO.
Despite all efforts to stir up national dis
unity. by playing off group against another
the working farmers and the industrial workers
are really united today than before
for one purpose, the winning of this
The CLIO declared its acceptance of wage Stabili-
cation, as proposed in the Presidents seven-point
program. The Farmers Union accepted stabiliza-
ton of farm prices. But both alike opposed any
freezing
The Farmers Union urged the President to
"stand by your announced intention not to freeze
solid either farm prices wages, but to stabilize
both with recognition that the real incomes and
purchasing power of working farmers and wage
must be maintained at minimum levels and,
when necessary adjusted to sustain productive
strength"
The CIO declared that the National War Labor
Board was the effective instrument to carry out
wage sterilization, proposed in the seven-point
program, with necessary adjustments to meet rising
living costs and elimination of sub-standard wages
and other inequalities. 1t strongly opposed the
naming of any wage car or supreme dictator" to
regulate economic affairs inconsistent with de-
mocracy.
But both labor and working farmers are insist
ent point, above all Others namely that their
sacrifices by themselves not enough to prevent
imitation insure a sound war economy.
Both organizations call for end to profteering
through progressive taxation as proposed by the
u S. Treasury for $4,000 limit on personal in
comes; for effective price control; and for universal
democratic ratoning of all necessary civilian goods
Labor and working farmers as shown by these
two statements, are the first groups to accept
intellectually the Presidents seven-pOint pro-
gram, as a necessary national economic program
TO win the war. But both groups insist they
have every right and duty to do, that all seven
points be applied simultaneously and with equal
weight and emphasis, so that some equality Of
sacrifice may prevail for all groups and the whole
program may succeed.

LOOKING AHEAD
By Len De Caux

L,REE Labor Will Win is the slogan of this years
n Labor Day. 1t is also the theme underlying
all CLIO policies and activities during the past year.
Looking back over labors year. might think
at first that December 1.-THE day of Pearl Harbor-
was big dividing point.
But actually, labor was not caught by surprise.
The CLIO had long before chosen its direction and
adopted policies which had only to be intensified
when the United States entered the war.

In Trinidad the Ideal

Sir LancelOt SAYS
HOLLYWOOD.

AAOAAA w ~~A~'
Boys in all lands have an ideal
they strive to achieve when they
grow up. In America most young
sters want to be baseball players.
In Trinidad they desire to become
Calypso singers.
Trinidad Is an enchanting island
of half a million located IS miles
of the coast of Venezuela. The art
of Calypso singing began in the
Caribbean Isle 200 years ago and
the five top names in that profess
sion are still living at the home
Of the art.
However, Sir Launcelot, the dean
Of Calypso singers, was brought to
America in 1899 to give a recital at
Carnegie Hall. A well-known re-
cording artist, he is making his
Aim debut in Happy Go Lucky"
Paramount's technicolor film star
ring Mary Martin and Dick Powell.
All Calypso singers have standard
songs which they sing straight. with
memorized lyrics. Their chief charm
and ability, however. is improvis-

These singers have TO have a
sharp wit and the sense of spon-
taneous rhyme. This is taught them
when they are youngsters. As a
general rule they have little edu-
cation, which accounts for their
bad grammar.
Calypso was a sea nymph in
Homer's Odyssey" which accounts
for the high and mighty names
adopted by these singers. Sir

one else's job better than any one
else could do it that inspired the
| invitation, Catholic University's
speech and drama department has
discovered a job that the arrogant
Armenian does not want to under
take.
On the spur of recent moment,
Father Gilbert v. Hartke sent the
invitation to Saroyan to play the
lead in the revival of his play, Jim
Dandy" which opens at the Uni
versity Theater Wednesday night
1t represented merely the chance
as Father Hartke saw it. although
less reflective persons would have
been willing to give odds that
Saroyan would say yes to chance
to teach actors how to act.
He did not. He just courteously
said thanks, but no.
The Pulitzer and Critics Circle
prize winner will be here to see
Catholic University's production of
Jim Dandy" which he generously
donated to college theaters for pro-
duction and which was highly
praised.
Whether it will be on Wednesday
or Thursday night is not yet def
initely settled.
Mr.. Saroyan is busy on a novel
which he plans to finish at IL noon
on Wednesday. He probably will
catch the next train.
Despite his refusal to play the
main role in Jim Dandy" it is
not beyond possibility that the play
wright will rise and say few words
in case there is strident cry for
author. author.
He is an unpredictable fellow,
save when he is doing the predict

her contritely. II want you to
