WAR BONDS OR PAYROLL TAX-WHICH?

THE WORKERS of this nation must make a de-
l. cision which cannot be delayed. That is to
either voluntarily set aside ten per cent of their
wages for the regular purchase of war bonds or
stamps, or else have Congress pas law taking
it away from them through payroll tax directly
at it's source.
That is why union members are so strongly
urged to sign these pledges in triplicate. The
original is sent to Washington, where record will
be kept the duplicate is sent to the State Admin
strator, and the third is kept by the pledgee.
Both the AFL and CIO have stated that it is
vitaly necessary for this pledge campaign to sue
ceed, so that in June Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau can take these pledges to Con-
gress and say: "Gentlemen the workers of Amer
lea have signed voluntary pledges promising to
buy one billion dollars worth of war bonds and
stamps every month"; The difference is that
these war bonds represent accumulated savings
which belongs to the individual. A payroll tax
in reality is wage cut.
If you buy bonds, you defer payments so that
the next generation can help pay for this war
which we are fighting to protect their laberties
and opportunities to live in BETTER more peaceful
world. Which do you choose, Mr. Union Member,
buying interest-bearing war bonds for that rainy
day, or stiff taxes your pay envelopes? Sign
those pledges NOW-Today

COMPULSION NOT NEEDED


ORGANIZED LABOR has taken strong stanc
" against legislation to compel buying of wal
bonds and its stand has been backed by President
Roosevelt, who opposed compulsory plan of say
ings in his recent message to Congress outlining
an anti-inflation program. Instead, he urged .
voluntary plan of putting 10 per cent Of ones
earnings into war bonds.
Urging all members of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor to comply promptly with the Gov.
ernments voluntary buying program, William
Green said:
81 feel sure that if labor will respond and viii
voluntarily agree to payroll deduction of 10 pei
cent of earnings to be invested in war bonds that
compulsory savings legislation will be defeated
For some unknown reason some cOumnlStS
editorial writer's and others who labor under the
impression that they are heavy thinkers charged
with the task Of saving the nation have beer
pressing a campaign for compulsory purchase OF
war bonds. The campaign is part of a disturbing
drive for compulsory methods in the effort
Everywhere it has the active backing Of Com
munists and those who openly or covertly sympa
thize with Fascist principles. These totalitaranS
all in their thinking seem unable to get it through
their heads that voluntary action and effort gives
the best results in a democracy.

GOVERNOR SUPPORTS RIGHTS
OF JAPANESE-AM ANS

New York City LNS).-Protcction
for the constitutional rights of Jap
anrSe-American citizens is pledged by
COY. Ralph l.. Carr of Colorado i'm Il
letter received by the American Civil
Liberties Union. The Governor wrote
in answer to Il union communication
expressing the "WarmcSt commenda-
tion" for his stand admitting evacuated
japanese Americans 10 his state.
The Governors letter says that he
has faced hostile audiences in Colorado
but has come away from every meet
ing with the feeling that he had won
his listeners over to the viewpoint that
civil rights Of American citizens must
be respected. He says that if we tear
down the protection of the constitution
for japanese Americans now, we shall
lose our own constitutional rights later.
The union has also commended Coy.
Leon G. Phillips of oklahoma for his
reported stand against cNpelling Jap
ancSe-American evacueeS from his
state Coy. Phillips is reported to have
answered II group Of citizens who ask
cd him April & to "do something
about japanese cvacuecS that 'if they
are aliens the FBI has charge of them.
If they are citizens, they are citizens"
and cannot be moleSted.
The union has also qucried Gov.
Payne ii. Rather of Kansas about re-
port that he has ordered state high
way police to prevent the admission
of Japanese c.American cvacuceS to Kan
SaS. The union letter says in part that
lit is difficult 10 believe that such a
report is correct in view of the rights
of citizens freely to travel and locate
throughout the country-recently re-
affirmed by decision of the L. S. Su-
preme Court

PRESS PREPARES TO "WIN THE WAR"

J'f1E AMERICAN newspapers are preparing to
win the war. Already they have made tremen-
dous sacrifices" Here are some of them, as re-
ported in the columns of the daily press:
At meeting of the publishers in New York
they expressed their determination to push the
sale of war bonds and stamps; that is, if Uncle
Sam would agree to buy sufficient amount of
advertising space-Oh, let's say, $2OO,000,0 900!
They coyly suggested he might save the money
by abolishing his own publicity agencies.
Next the publishers announced that hereafter
if your carrier fails to deliver your paper, you will
have to grin and bear it," They will no longer
send special messengers to deliver the missing
copy Thus they hope to conserve manpower,
and, incidentally, add to their bank deposits.
Finally, they are boosting the prices Of theil
papers from so to 100 per cent. They hope that
will help curb any tendency toward ''inflation."

GOOD ADVICE

HERE'S SOME, good advice from Mary Andel-
son, director of the Women's Bureau Of the
III. S. Department Of Labor
"As the need for women workers becomes more
urgent in order to reach maximum production in
expanding war industries such as aircraft, small
arms, ammunition and instrument making we
must not foolishly weaken our industrial strength
by hastily scrapping sound labor legislation now
on the books. In the interest of industrial eff
cheney and the national good we must make every
effort to safeguard the health and living standards
of all wage earners, both men and women.
"We have our years Of experiment and
study plus the recent British experience to show
us clearly that stretching the work week beyond
reasonable limits actually will prevent us from
reaching the goals of all-out production
Years of experience have proved the truth of
what Miss Anderson says. If the states and ma
ton disregard the lessons of the past, America
will indeed 'foolishly weaken its industrial
strength.

LABOR FOES POISONING SOLDIERS MINDS

MRS. ROOSEVELT exposes one of the most de-
4'A spcable, and at the same time one of the most
dangerous phases of anti-labor propaganda. In
an address in New York City this week, she said
"Some, awfuly clever people are directing a

directed at the public mind-it would be easy to
handle that-but it is also being directed at the
armed forces.

"Then there is the idea that it is not patriotic
for workmen to receive good wages while men in

can worker to protect wage and labor standards 50
the man who returns to industry from armed ser
vice after the war will find those standards in

STATE WAGE-HOlTR LAWS

I'llE COMMISSIONER Of Labor and Statistics
OF Maryland, in a recent report, features a
survey Of earnings and hours in service and retail
establishments in the state made by the u. S.
Nomens Bureau IN cooperation with his office.
This survey was made, says the report to de-
temine the need of additional state legislation for
the protection of Maryland workers not covered by
the Federal wage-hour law. 1t revealed that many
men and women are working long hours for
meager wages in the service industries, a condition
which exists in many other states.
Men need the protection Of state Wage-hou
laws well as women, the report says, declaring
There is no valid reason why men as we'll as

! COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Both Nazl military leaders inside
Germany and antiNazi spokesmen out
side appear suddenly to have taken uI
a common theme-tO make the German
people understand that Hitler alone
was responsible for last winters bloody
Russian campaign.
This Sdelight on Hitler's ReichStaa
speech of April 26 giving Germans the
bad news that they would have to face
another winter of war, was revealed
in broadcasts received by the Foreign
Broadcasting Monitoring Service of the
Federal Communications Commission.
The broadcasts showed that even
Marshal Goering, shortly before open
ing the Rechstag meeting, was saying
over the Berlin radio: "Hitlers bold
strategy is responsible for the mighty
battles of annihilation against Russia
The defensive battles of the hor-
rible winter We're carried out by Adolf
Hitler's iron energy and infIeXible will
to resist"
GOering often expresses the view of
the Germany military command as Op-
posed to those of the Nazi party lead
ers. His seemingly laudatory phrases
conveyed the idea that it was Hitler
and only Hitler who made the decision
to keep the German army on the bat
tie line, against the advice of his
generals who wanted to withdraw and
tpnnNS 81
This theme was, even less hidden by
praise in a speech by Colonel-General
Dittmar which was quoted over the
Berlin shOrt-wave
'In the beginning of winter" the
general said, 'the German army in the
east was in such grave position that
it is hard to imagine the severity of it
1t stood face to face with exceptionally
difficult decisions. 1t was almost decid-
ed to leave the enemy far behind, thus
leaving the destroyed zones which he
had created between him and our DO
SitiOnS.
'In This difficult situation the FuehT-
er proved his greatness as a military
leader. After hard struggles with him
self he came to the decision to main
tain the conquered Russian territory.
Nobody knew better than he what
great hardships this would impose on
the troops
X X X
Without camouflage at all was the
indictment of Hitler by the so-callej
european Revolution" station a secret
outlet frequently used to harass the
NaZis.
Said the European Revolution" sta
ton: The infallible Fuehrer, who had
under-eStimated his adversary, was
surprised with his army by the Rus,
sian winter The generals proposed to
evacuate the advanced positions and to
20 into winter quarters along the line
Leningrad, SmolenSk, Kiey, in order
10 allow the troops the we'll earned rest
and to avoid unnecessary man losses
by cold and winter fighting.
But Hitler could not stand any
visible retreat. He preferred to dismiss
the generals and take the responsible
ity by himself for the annihlatiOn of
hundreds of thousands of German sol
dicrS. When his offensive of deSpera-
ton begins this summer, he will have
to fight for The most part with eX-
hauSted troops.

J'IIE BIG task that the Office Of Censorship has
is the maintenance Of the pubc's faith in the
integrity Of its operations, and beyond those of
the news in newspapers and on the air. Our wal
effort will be badly tangled if the people get the
notion that the news they are getting is manufac-
tured or manipulated from day to day according
to the needs Of Il government department. Once
that distrust is created toward part Of the news
there is grave danger it will spread to all news
and to all announcements Of the government.

In connection with 4O-hour week,

Second: That when men work over
