COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

with satisfaction the farsighted posi-
tion of the S. |. U. during the present
war and the unfaltering allegiance of
its officers and members to the cause
of allied victory. Shortly after the
enactment of the Lend-Lease Bill and
long before the Nazi invasion of Soviet
Russia, the S. l. u. went on record
urging it's membership to man ships
for the Red Sea and Suez Canal zones
in order to furnish the allied fighting
forces with tools and weapons from
the American arsenal of democracy"
The conference, the joint statement
says, was unanimous in its desire to
maintain and strengthen the maritime
unions of Norway, Denmark and the
other invaded countries which are now
operating in Great Britain and the
United States. Full assistance and a
relentless fight against all efforts and
tendencies to disrupt these organiza-
tions was pledged.
Questions of employment and men,
bership affiliation of allied seamen in
the United States were also exhaust
lively discussed.
Immediate war and postwar prob
lens of shipping and transportation,
among them safety measures, ETC.,
were the subject of preliminary dis
cussion which found the S. l. U. spokes-
men in complete accord with the views
of the |. t. F., the statement added.
The /. I. F. is formulating program
Of action and demands for the war and
postwar era, and it was suggested
that the l. T. F. consult with the STU.
after the latter's affiliation, with a view
of bringing about uniformity of views.
An international conference will be
called after affiliation of the S. |. u.
with the |. T. F. for the purpose of
discussing these and other problems.

letter carriers salary should be raised
to a social standard of living. If this
is denied, we will witness, as we did
in the first World War, the wholesale
designations of skilled and experienced
postal workers, for the obvious rea-
son to enter civil employment that
will offer them better living wage
In this comparison, we feel that it
is grave injustice to the letter car
riers who have given the best years
of their life to the service of the
United States Government, for that
same government to refuse to provide
for them the necessary wherewithal
to meet the economic conditions with
which they are confronted.
We hope, therefore, Mr.. Congress
man, when the Salary Bill H. R. 6486
comes up for enactment, you will give
it your most favorable consideration.

WHY NOT EVERYWHERE?

Forty thousand persons attended a
Know Your City show presented re-
Gently by officials and employees of
Kansas City, Mo-, to explain the what,
the why, and the how of their city
government.
The show, occupying the entire main
floor of the municipal auditorium, was
made up of apparatus and equipment
used in running city affairs, of photo
graphs, movies, charts and statistical
data.
Popular features were the police de-
partment's booth, where any member
of the public could be fingerprinted,
and an exhibit of firearms and gas
equipment, with illustrative lectures
on how to deal with incendiary bomb
fires. The personnel department ran
a 'know-your city" examination of
true-false questions to demonstrate
the departments electrical scoring ma
chine, finding city employees 85 per
cent correct in answers and lay citi-
zens so per cent correct.
Entertainment other than the ex-
hibits was provided by the American
Legion Band, the WPA orchestra, high
school bands, and other professional
and amateur entertainers.
Shows elsewhere similar to the Kan
sas City exhibit would make for better
understanding of municipal govern
ment and its functions and operations.

Luxembourgers Enslaved
By Hitler's Government

New York, N. Y Reliable inside
information received here reveals the
atrocious slavery imposed upon work
ers in the Grand Duchy OF Luxem-
bourg by Hitler's Nazi officials.
Several thousand workers have been
deported to Germany and Poland.
Those remaining in Luxembourg have
to exercise great care to avoid perse-
cutions and reprisals. Refusal to work
means starvation for the workers and
their families, plus deportation. Com
pulsory work is under special control
of the Gestapo. A youth lost his lie
for having been careless.
A peasant was sentenced to 16
months in prison for having answered
the Hitlerian salute by "Hell Mos
COW" and "Heil Charlotte" the Grand
Duchess of Luxembourg. Another
Luxembourger was sentenced to one
year in prison for having sung Lux
embourg songs considered by the Ges-
tapo as "separatistic" and indecent" J"

A labor conference held at Washing
ton early in the year has received little
notice, despite its Importance and sig
nifcance 1t was the meeting of rep
resentatives of the international
Transport Workers Federation and
the Seafarers' International Union,
American Federation of Labor affiliate.
Unity of the workers of America
and other continents took mighty
forward stride and cooperation be-
tween the maritime nations of the
democratic countries now engaged in
the war was virtually assured by the
meeting, the Transport Workers Fed
Grafton says.
Significance of the meeting and ne
gotiations was pointed out in a joint
statement issued by the American Of
fees of the transport workers and the
A. F. of L. union.
The statement comments as follows,
in part:
"The negotiations, called for the
purpose of seeking closer relations and
a better understanding between the
American seamen and the allied sea-
mems unions affiliated with the ]. I. F.,
found all participants in full accord
with regard to measures to secure al
lied victory and to preserve the inde-
pendence of bona fde trade unions and
their recognition as bargaining agents
"Affiliation of the S. l. U. with the
|. 7. F. was regarded by the conferees
as a principal factor in making inter
national labor collaboration effective
and lasting. The spokesmen of the
s. l. u voiced their desire for affilia-
tion at the earliest possible moment
and pledged themselves to place the
matter before the S. l. U. membership
for consideration and final decision.

TIMELY PROTEST

Organized labor in Cincinnati, Ohio,
is up in arms against what it con-
demns as a dangerous weakening of
the city's police and frefghting forces
through operation of the Selective
Service Act.
Cincinnati labor charges the city ad-
ministration has failed to assert itself
in pressing for the exemption of ex-
perienced firemen and policemen. De-
pletion of the safety forces is putting
life and property in jeopardy and en-
dangering essential war manufacturing
industries, especially in case of air
raids, widespread fires and other dis
asters, labor declares.
Pointing out that fire and police de-
partments are composed of groups of
highly trained men, whose training
takes a period of years and who are
difficult to replace, the Cincinnati
unions contend that these trained men
should not be taken into the military
services
Throughout the nation, fire and po-
lice departments play an important
part in national defense and their i'm.
portance is taken too lightly by loca
officials and citizens, it is declared.
Cincinnati labor has pointed to {
dangerous trend, which labor in Other
cities would do well to investigate anc
act on when action is found necessary
-O-
The essence of democracy is govern
ment by agreement and peaceful co
operation. The essence of totalitarian
ism is government by aggrandizement
and violent coordination.

A LETTER
Hon. Mr.. Congressman,
Washington, D. C.
My Dear Sir:

My Dear Sir:
Assumingly, you have familiarized
yourself with the House of Represent
atives Bill 6486, better known as the
Salary Bill. Understanding, as we do,
that only through the instrumentality
of your good Office, namely, the legis-
lative branch of Congress, are the
postal employees able to hope for a
better wage, implore you, as mem
Der of Congress, to give favorable con-
sideration to the letter carriers at
tempt for wage that will enable
them to meet the mounting cost
of living. We cannot emphasize too
strongly that salaries in civil employ
ment have been greatly increased, and
in numerous instances bonuses granted,
in order to meet the present economic
conditions
Need we remind you that, in 1882,
the letter carriers were given a pay
less furlough and a wage reduction
which amounted to 1870? The excuse
the government gave, at that time
was the reduced cost of living. Today
we are confronted with a sharp in
crease in various taxes, the high cost
of uniforms, the lowering of the in
come tax brackets, together with the
high cost of living which in some in.
stances have increased from 1870 te
37@6. Taking this into consideration
let it be remembered that the letter
carriers have not received a pay in.
crease since 1925.
To maintain the postal service or
a high plane, it is imperative that the

After the war-so many things. Not
much time given to that yet-but it
has to come
A new world, surely.
Humpty Dumpty can't be put back
together again, much less set once
more upon the old garden wall
A better world, we hope-and feel
sure.
But not better world unless
somebody does some planning for
it and shows some willingness to
put the old shoulder to the wheel.
There will be many new factors to
deal with in making the world over
after the war.
Let's take look at some of them.
The Nazi job in Germany and con-
quered territory will have to be taken
apart and minds, accustomed to think
at command, will have to get chance
to learn to think out of original will
to learn.
Ditto in Italy.
And very much ditto in Japan, where
somehow barbarism will have to be
destroyed and replaced with some kline
of civilizing restraint.
Hate communism though we may
Russia will be factor at the great
table where the re-making is done.
Russia has earned that right in the
fullest measure.
India will be at the peace table
probably as a nation; at least as {
Dominion with Dominion rights.
China will be there-heroic China
which emerged into true unity only
in time for this war.
Here is a group of nations that ex
ercised no influence whatever in the
peace made after the last great war
Think what this can mean.
We are talking about peace made
after the daylights have been knocked
out of the whole world fascist idea
with Germany, Italy and Japan beater
out of all resistance.
There can't be any other kind Of
peace. Better that we fight until the
last man than submit to a peace built
upon anything less than full victory
for freedom.
So, it has to be new world.
And in that new world, as it seems
to us now, there will have to be higher
standards of living for many peoples
including peoples in both hemispheres
For peoples in Europe, Asia, Africa
and Latin America there have to bt
higher standards.
Also, for many of the people in the
free nations.
How are those higher standards t.
be achieved?
Nations already are talking abou
4 free access to things.
If we are to get near the goals al
ready being set up by the United Ma
tions we shall have to see lower
tariffs.
There will be lot of squawkinf
about that from Americans of tn,
same mentality as those who Tough
the League of Nations to death.
But we had better look facts in tn,
face.

Careful not to attract his atten- tion, she moved the purse to rest on top of her left hand and with the aid of her right fingers, she opened the fastener Moving very slowly, her left hand found it's way inside the purse and gripped the automatic. She eased 1t out into her lap under the big patent leather bag. From there, she worked her hand to her coat pocket and dropped the weapon inside with sigh of relief.
 Do you mind if I smoke?" she asked Karl and pretended to open her purse.
 He shook his head but reached for her purse. He made sure there was no gun in 1t and handed 1t back to her. It was now neces- sary to get her gun back inside without discovery while she smoked her cigaret. She succeeded just as the car stopped. Before she could see where they were, a blindfold was tied over her eyes She was led up some steps and :csi>se . 55a.....II..:....g Slse heard doors open and close as they passed deeper into the place and their steps were deadened by thick car pets on the floor.
 Finally she was pushed into a chair and the cloth removed from her eyes. The bright glare of the electric lights blinded her for a moment.
 Don't make the mistake of thinking you can escape she was told, and the man went out.
 "JudithT said a voice that whirled her around instantly to face Tom Burke on the other side of the large room. He had been lying on couch, and now strug- gled to a sitting position. He stared at her with a look that sent blood rushing through her veins.
 rom" she gasped and ran for ward but within a foot of him she checked herself. They haven't harmed you"
 It was a statement and not a question. She had been on the verge of giving her feelings away, and that was the one thing she did not want to do before Tom. He must not know how she felt, not until he made the first move. And it did not appear he was go- ing to make that move now.
 He shook his head and lifted his fingers to his lips. There must be a dlctaphone in the room somewhere to catch their conversation. A smile crossed her face as she sat down by him.
 Bending forward, she put her mouth to his ear and whispered, The plans are safe with MT. Mathews. He is having me fol- lowed"
 He nodded and lokoed as if he wanted to kiss her but she leaned back. Aloud for the benefit of lAaAAA0 NAkAAAasS. lA @AI@AA4
