RLANkET DISCRIMINATION against the Jap
anese in America is not consistent with the
countrys democratic principles, the War Reloca-
ton Authority points out in a statement issued
to its field service
The relocation agency says that "the eVacua-
ton Of people from the Western Defense Com
mand and the placing Of these people in restricted
centers on racial basis has given Il good deal of
justification TO Japan's recent charges that we
preach human democracy but practice racial dis
criminatiOn
"lf the new leave regulations are carried out
sincerely and Il scale large enough to substan-
TALLY reduce the population Of the present centers
then we can effectively refute the charges that
we are operating concentration camps for people
whose only crime was to have Japanese parents.
"Aany other minority groups, eg. the Negroes
have become seriously concerned with what we
are doing with the Japanese minority group. For
a united home front all groups within it, racial
religious, and political, must have firm sense of
security that in fighting for the United States
they are also fighting for their own future Sc
cuIity"

ALL-OUT PRODUCTION

'TIIE INVASION Of North Africa and the roll
ing back Of the Japanese in the SolomOnS seem
to mark turning point in the war. They have
immeasurabIy strengthened the will to victory.
The growing activity of our soldiers brings direct
ly home to thousands Of families the need to stand
behind those men to the utmost of our ability.
The refrain Of the popular war song expresses
in hOmely language the obligation resting upon
each and all Of us-'Pass the ammunition and
We'll all stay free"
Our wealth and our earnings must be gener-
ously given to finance the government. The gov
ernment must pay at least 80 per cent Of the cur
rent costs Of war and must supply its troops
what they need where and as they need it, Too
little and too late will not win this war When the
government places contracts to keep production
facilities moving at capacity then begins the re-
sponsibility Of management and labor to turn out
the best production within the minimum Of time
as TO sustain an ammunition supply line to our
combat line
We cannot tolerate production delays whether
due to management or labor. Strikes have prac-
ticaly disappeared where there is responsible
union leadership, but delays due to business-as-
usual are less obvous-though just as deadly. In
stead Of plans for private profit there must be
substituted overall planning and control Of war
industries and essential civilian industries
Any failure on the part Of the government to
assume this duty and responsibility will create
opportunities for buSineSS-aS-usual and thereby
hamper the war effort. In this gigantic effort to
keep the expected flow Of ammunition moving,

ate. Each element is responsible and must have
representation.
American workers are finding that the rules of
war work have completely reVOutiOnzed union
work. Their union representatives must partici-
pate in the deliberations of the War Production
Board in order to determine what and how much
is to be produced by their industry; they must
have representation before the National
War Labor Board where wartime collective bar
gaining Is passed upon and regulated; and they
must have representation ON and before the War
ManpOWcr Commission in order to protect their
rights and interests in employment.
All these negotiations are to be carried on
with the dominant purpose of winning the war.
Protection Of workers is n secondary objective.
The war must come first, for unless we preserve
our freedom the union and human welfare are
meaningless. Our will to sacrifice and to forego
rights increases the obligation Of the government
to give us prompt and definite action on our wage
and employment petitions.
We are in hard war and maybe a long war,
which will require us to set aside comforts and
conveniences. Labor has less Of these than some
other groups, but we are ready to give up our
proportional share. Personal freedom and free
society depend upon our making the sacrifices Of
comforts and income necessary to mobilize our
nation for the supreme war effort.

Great Britain now has it's special re-
port to- parliament on post war read
justments in the British way of life.
Parliamentwill debate it vigorously
and great will be the CONSERVATION or
some who think that change is some
thing to be feared.
But eventually Britain will adopt
most of that report which calls for
sweeping social security guarantees, so
that the old and the helpless no longer
go to the scrap heap.
By and large Britain faces, for her
postwar days, just about what the
United States faced at the close of the
down-sweep of the great depression.
Britain is planning to avoid social
collapses by doing the things that give
people security and hope.
But sweeping as are the British pro-
poSals, no man today can say that
when the war actually ends the change
may not be even greater.
1t is safe to predict that the degree
Of change after the war will be in
direct proportion to the length of the
war.
If the war goes two years more the
degree of change everywhere, includ-
ing the United States, will be much
greater, hit much deeper and affect
more people than if if were to end
next month.
OF course the matter of change in
the way of life, which means, among
other things, the amount and quality
of food, will not be restricted to Great
Britain, or to the United States.
The probability is that the economic
life of the whole world is in for a
tremendous shake-up.
X X X
That will be the greatest guarantee
of that permenent peace for which
visionary persons has sought all
through the ages.
Perhaps this coming change will not
produce permanent Npeace, but it will
be aimed to remove many of the causes
Of war.
Can we escape the conclusion that
the standards of living in Latin Amer
ica must be raised and will be raised?
1t would seem not.
And can Asia ever be the same, eco
nomically? 1t would seem not.
And those who follow through with
their thinking can think straight to the
point at which comes the question, eff
these things be so, then who will pay
the bill?"
And it's a fair question.
Perhaps there are two parts to the
answer, as it shapes up today. EX-
ploitation will be curbed. That's part
One. Peoples will be enabled to pro-
duce more, adding to their own wealth
of usable things. That's part Two.
1t may we'll be that when the time
comes there will be other wayS-and
maybe the ways won't matter so much.
What will matter is that there must
not be submerged nations and cesspool
groups.
If you take the British proposals as
anything of a guide, the day of eco
nOmic overlordships is on the way out,
along with political overlordships.
Today's important thinking is to-
ward a truly better wOrld-the reality
in place of the dream.
And it had better be a better world,
to make up for the miseries, the crimes
and the inequities of the past. America
MUST do her part.-CMW.

UNIONS AID BLOOD BANKS

operation with the American Red

desire to help was that of the Illinois
AFL painters, who voted at their
annual convention, to raise between
5000 and 10000 pints of blood. In al
most every section of the country, spe-
cial days are set aside to accommodate

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Too many. Dutch babies are being
named Winston and Franklin to suit
the Nazi occupation authorities in Hol-
land. The NaZis think that Winston
Churchill and Franklin d. Roosevelt
are sufficiently annoying in themselves
erparts running around the country
In the early part of November the
Secretary General of Justice therefore
sent the following circular to Hollands
registrars:
1T has happened repeatedly that
parents have chosen names for their
children to express their political dis
position. 1t is clear that giving such
names is not only an undesirable
demonstration which might cause Ger
man authorities to take measures
against the demonstrators but can oc-
cur only with the cooperation of the
registrars.
"When the registrar does not sue
ceed in dissuading parents from their
intention, he may inscribe only the
first of the chosen names. Other Names
openly challenging German authorities
such as Franklin or Winston, are not
allowed In such case the certificate
will include only those chosen names
against which there is no objection or,
otherwise, the first name of the father
or mother"
X X \
A sidelight on life in Holland under
the NaZi is given by a Rotterdam
newspaper which reports that fish
peddlers have been compelled to carry
a tape measure attached to their carts,
to permit customers to check up on the
size of their prospective purchases be-
fore buying.
Because of the limited supply Of
fish, the edict also prohibits itinerant
fish peddling and establishes a maxi
mum of 20 fixed selling points for each
large city. Customers also are forbid
den to buy more than two pounds of
fish at a time, and to prevent multiple
purchases peddlers must attach "A sign
to each of their carts reading "Sales
to regular customers only"
Another regulation, obviously aimed
at preventing 'black market" in
meat, warns butchers that they must
enclose a bill with all meat delivered,
stating the date, sllpplier's name, a
full description of the goods and the
price.
Watch Spain, military commentators
advise. Official declarations are often
mere courtesies and not at all indica-
tive of what's ahead. There are many
disturbing.
Franco has sent his ablest military
man General Don Juan Vague y
Blanco-not to the French (nOw Nazi)
border but rather to Spanish Morocco
which has long been center of in
trigue and propaganda against the
United Nations. Strategically, Spanish
Morocco is vital. From its military
center, Ceuta, the Straight of Gilbral-
tar can be controlled just as effective
Iy as from the British fortress. Gen
eral Luiz Oraz, Spanish High Commits
sioner in Morocco-appointed in May,
1941--is violently pro-NaZi.
Ceuta and Melllla are bases from
which the Nazis have been spying on
what goes on in Gibraltar and on
United Nations shipping. Nazi sub
marines have made good use of Span
iSh-African faci lities. Franco has
