YOUR DUTY AS
~ AN

How many Union workers have a brother,
father, or some male relative in the armed forces of
our nation? The answer is easy, EVERY ONE OF US
HAS OR WILL HAVE!
What are they fighting for? That answer too,
is easy, THE r FIGHTING TO KEEP AMERICA,
N II AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!
The American eOay of life as self government, not the
dictatorship of a fen individuals. We elect our representation
in our government. The very principles upon (which America
IS founded, feature, mo taxation aoithout representation.
That is what our boys are fighting for! They are
fighting for the right to do as they please! To live in
a free country! So that we can govern ourselves!
ARE YOU HELPING THEM? We know you
are buying War Bonds and Stamps, working as a soldier
of production, making sacrifices every day.
That is not enough! Are YOU a registered voter? If
you are not, then you are very deliberately letting doDn
the boys who are giving their tves for YOU!
This is not a political newspaper. This is a paper that
YOU, as an American yorker, oa0m. We are, therefore, in a
favorable position to tell you the truth. The truth aohich you
must believe If you really a0ant to help YOUR America.
Countless Americans haze fought and died for the
Uery privilege that you are noaU able to enjoy, FREE =.
YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!
Are all of those lives to have been lost, and all
the sacrifices of those very Real Americans, to have
been made i'm vain? The answer can only be made by
o -.
Soon, as a Democratic nation, we will hold an
election. We will cast our votes for those whom we
feel will express our desires in the legislative seats of
America. Will o be one who will let the boys who
are giving their lives for that privilege, sacrifice in
vain?
We uul never tell you aohat your party shall be! We
do not care if you are a Democrat or Republican. As long
as you are an AMERICAN, that is good enough for Us. A
real American is a man or u0oman Oho helps to rule his or
her oaDn life .....
If o are not a registered voter, you haze no uoice

DEFEAT AND THE WORKING MAN

Disseminated European workers
who believed HitIer's promises that es
tobIishment Of his "new order" would
represent merely victory over their
capitalist overIords now know better
Or if there ore some who do not, they
need only study the new Nozi decree
increasing working hours in French
foctories
Of course, an increase in working
hours does not necessarily represent q
setback for labor, in France or else
where If the national economy can
absorb increased production, labor
can get return for increased hours
which may make them very attractive
But business is not thot good in France
these days. In foct, Frenchmen have
been working on O torty-hour week as
under the Popular Front but not be-
couse Hitler fovors Leon BIum's theo-
ries; only because there has not been
work enough to go round. Many plants
have operated on twenty-hour basis
SO as to spreod employment.
To this extent the French employer
hos been cooperating with French To-
Dor. But these advantages for the
French workman do not interest the
Nozs. They seem to consider he is
being too we'll looked otter. What the
Nozis want is not less but more unem-
pIoyment in France. Hence the decree
to increase working hours.
The order is expected to result in
the dismissed Of large numbers of
French workers, who will then be eco
nomieo|Iy os we'll os politically of the
mercy OF the HerrenvoIk, These dis
missed Frenchmen ore expected to
constitute reservoir of unemployed
lobor more susceptible to Nozi offers
uf jobs nscessory to the Nozi war ef-
fnrt.

The daily monitor leader., 1942-05-21

One need not explain to any French
worker today that this is only retn-
ed form Of forced labor. The skilled
mochinist, out Of work long enough,
with hungry mouths ot home, be-
comes an unskilled agricultural labor
er. The bookkeePer, stronger mentol-
Iy than physically, may yet find him
self digging bitches where the Nozs
want them dug.
If Berlin was sure it could cope
with rebellion in France, is there any
doubt it would resort to policies Of out
right forced labor as it has among
weaker peoples? Ask the Poles or the
Czechs who have been dePorted from
their homeIonds to slavery wherever
the Nozs needed more slaves. Nozi
policies in France are the policies Of
masters toward slaves no less than
elsewhere. The Nozi overload makes
no distinction between those on whom
he can fosten his chains, be they cop
itoIists or workers.

But Fishbein figured he must

third diamond with the ace of
trumps. II is true he must now
find the trumps split two-two or

both break wrong the contract is
lost. But Fishbein reasoned that

Few other writing assignments in

HOLLYWOOD, May 81 -
Blond Ilona Massey, elegant and
shapely in cloth-of-gold gown,
sat at a richly laden table for
two and wrinked her pretty nose
with faint amusement and dis
taste. She and the rest of the
company were watching her
companion of the moment "a

bowl of mayonnaise and now
was smearing the tablecloth on
the side that hung over his

when Director Edwin Marin
said, "Okay, let's shoot it."
Two prop men lay under the
table and grasped its legs. Brom-
berg sat down SO that the
smeared part of his uniform
wasn't visible to the camera. As
he raised d forkful Of salad an
unseen force seemed to strike
his hand and dashed it against
his face. With solicitous muir
murings, Miss Massey went to
his aid with a napkin, and a
moment later Bromberg grew
amorous and tried to paw her.
At this, the table rose into the
air and spilled its contents all
over the actor, who stood there

DEMOCRACY MAKES GOOD


In the supreme test Of totol war,
democracy is proving it can produce
the goods.
We we're slow about deciding what
we wanted to do Thot was because we
decided for ourselves insteod of per-
mittine some Hitler Mussolin or
Stain to tell us what we thought.
We we're slow in getting under way
because, being democrats, we do not
like to fight, had not thought much
about the matter, and ot first set our
sights too low.
But once circumstances, aided by
japanese treochery, awakened US to
the sordid focts Of international life,
we started doing such job as no 9TH
er nation could even approach.
A million dollars is pin money to-
day. We tolk Of government expendi-
tures in terms Of billions even in
peace times. We appropriate for war
at the rote of 40 or SO billion dollars
year. Perhaps, then, the foct that we
now are paying out about Sl32, 2,OOO,-
600 doy to finance this war isn't os
impressive os it should be.
Let's not think Of it as SO much
money. Let's visualize it in terms Of
ships and tanks, planes and guns,
powder and bullets, jeeps and scout
cors and khoki-coIored trucks - war
porophernoio we weren't trying to
manufacture three years ogo and ore
making today.
We started in 1889 with on indus
try devoted exclusively to civilian
needs. InsignficontIy, here and there,
we made few tons Of powder, few
thousand rifles, q few hundred fight
ing planes. For many Of the things re-
qured by q modern soldier we did not
even possess bIueprints.
In less than three years we have
SO completely reoreonzed our indus
trioI setup that in 1912 we will make
almost os great value Of war goods
as we produced, in 1882 and 1888, Of
commodities TO service the entire
American notion
While we are finding fault with
Washington for its confusion and foil
ures Of leadership, with copitoI and 10
Dor ond formers for their seIfshness
ond shortsightedness, let's not forget
the positive side Of the balance sheet.
We have multiplied our plane pro-
duction "a times, SO that with Henry
Fords new plant operating we, alone,
will be making more oircroft than all
the axis nations combined. We are
building this year os many cargo ships
os the totoI we possessed jan. ! l94l.
We ore turning out tanks, at lost, os
fost os we can use them.
But because we went 10 work SO
iote and SO slowly, it would be totoI to
become overly encouraged by the su-
PercoIossol job Of production we have
achieved thus for.
We con, however, and we should,
realize thot Hitler wos screwy when he
thought the American democracy
wouldn't be obIe to bury personal,
portison, rociol and Gloss ontoqon-
isms enough to produce the goods. --
