FACING
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

A great American tragedy was
written into the record this week.
Five million American workers,
banded together in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, had an important
story to tell to their fellow citizens.
They were being attacked on all sides
by nefarious foes-a secretly organ
lied combine branded by the Presi-
dent of the United States as Sixth
Columnists. They were being sniped
at and smeared while working to save
their country. They wanted the pub
lie to know the truth. They had to
pay to get their story told by the
newspapers.
That, we submit, is tragic situa-
tion in American life. The newspapers
would not print the truth about labor
as news, but they would print it for
cash as paid advertising.
And what was this message that
the workers of the A. F. of L. wished
W COIiVcy Lie lltIOuuCIlOIl W Gilc
advertisement summed it up as fol-
lows:
"Words won't win this war-hard
fighting will. Sniping at each other
won't win this war-national unity
will. New laws won't win this war
hard work will.
eve are workers of America, it's
production soldiers. We are on the
job. We have only one aim right now
and that is to help America win. We
are working night and day to produce
the ships, planes, tanks and guns our
armed forces need for victory.
"We are giving this job everything
we've got. We will stick to this job,
come He'll or high water, until this
war is won. That is our pledge to
America!"

CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes dippantly, some
times recklessIy. =.
Technocracy bobs up again.


Have you noticed? Full page ad-
vertisements in many metropolitan
newspapers.
When propagandists go out in that
style it is costing somebody a lot of
the coin of the realm.
The purpose back of that size ex-
penditures must be fairly serious.
The next time you see one of these
full page spreads read it carefully.
See whether you don't think it
smells like fascism.
No place in the lingo of technocracy
does the word democracy" get in
at all.
The whole scheme seems to be de-
signed to put all power in the hands
of scientific" men, with the rest of
US doing just about as we are told.
Now why does the propaganda of
democracy bob up at this time?
You'll remember that we first heard
of democracy during the dull days
of the depression. We were told that
it came out of Columbia University,
but there seems no evidence that it's
sponsors got nearer Columbia than to
walk past.
There is something of mystery
about the whole show and that mys-
terry ought to be dispelled.
Full page ads aren't all there is to
this resurgence of technocracy.
If you get around in the little towns
you will find men here and there who
will approach you gingerly, to see
whether you are prospect.
Ii you indicate the least sympathy
they will lay it on and pretty soon
you'll be asked to get some books
about the subject.
There are plenty Of books. If you
were to show enough interest and be-
come a convert, or seem to become
one, you might get job as literature
agent.

A Free Press-For Whom?

And that is what the newspapers
required payment for before printing!
The next time anyone tries to tell
us about the great, free press of
America we will laugh in his face.
Certainly the press is free-but not
for labor. Certainly it is free-for
any irresponsible demagogue in Con-
gress who wishes to smear labor.
That's the stuff that always gets
printed at great length.
Certainly the press is free-for a
discredited public official like Thur
man Arnold who tries to cover up his
100 per cent record of defeats in the
courts by new charges against labor.
But when his superior, Attorney
General Biddle, repudiates what Ar
mold says--the press is no longer SO
free with it's space. 1t gives the anti
labor charge front page columns. 1t
hides the official reputation in an in
side page inch.
Now the American Federation of
Labor is not proft-rich corporation.
It's income is limited to the pennies
it receives each month in per capita
tax payments from affiliated unions.
The A. F. of L. cannot afford to carry
on million-dollar advertising cam
paigns-and what's more it won't.
The American Federation of Labor
does not propose to contribute to the
support of publications which devote
their news and editorial columns to
campaigns to destroy labor.
Program for the Future
Even if it had the vast sums re-
quired to carry on nationwide ad-
vertising campaign, the A. F. of L.
would rather spend the money in pro-
noting the labor press and making
the labor press more powerful COM
petitor of the kept press.
That is the message we want to
convey to the hungry advertising
wolves which have been baying at our
door ever since the advertisement ap-
peared. In the two days since then,
the writer's office has been flooded
with more mail and phone calls from
newspapers begging for an ad than
it normally receives in two months
from newspaper representatives in
search of news.
The A. F. of L. did not spend its
money willingly for newspaper adver-
tising. The statement that was pub
lished was signed as follows:
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-04-10

"This advertisement is paid for by
the five million members of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. They are
forced to go to this expense to bring
the truth to the American people be-
cause large percentage of the news
papers in America do not print the
truth about labor in their news and
editorial columns"
For money, the newspapers even
swallowed this insult!
From now on the American Fedora
tion of Labor will carry on an aggres-
sive campaign to bring the truth
about labor home to the American
people-but not through paid adver-
tising. This is our program:
Ito supply greater news cover
age to the labor press and to support
it's wider circulation.
2-To go on the air with a radio
labor news program, which will be
broadcast regularly on a nationwide
hookup beginning shortly.
3-To circulate pamphlets and
printed material far and wide stating
the facts succinctly and forcefully.
This is a worthwhile educational
program in which every member of
the A. F. of L. can help-and will be
asked to help.

drive. Such things seldom just hap
pen.
Labor ought to shake leg about
the technocracy propaganda. because
if technocracy ever came upon us we
would have no more labor unions than
there are in Hitler's Germany.
Technocracy is death on unions,
Just as it is death on voting and
such like trappings of democracy
and freedom.
How any intelligent American can
fall for the technocracy lingo is just
about beyond understanding, but the
fact is that they do fall and there's
neucleus in just about every town.
The whole thing smells. somehow;
and it ought to be looked into by
someone who is actuated by something
more than mere curiosity.
Is that too much to ask, when a
propaganda comes sneaking in-no,
not sneaking, but just roaring in
telling us that democracy is no good
and must be supplanted by system
under which the bosses are special
select few who "know how to run
things?
We are at war for the very life of
democracy and yet in the white heat
of this war to save democracy we
find propaganda in full page ads tell
ing us that the very thing we are
battling to save is no good and must
be supplanted by highly centralized
authority that will operate without
consent of the masses and with never
vote being cast.
This thing more than smells!
We ought to have right to KNOW
all of the facts about who is pushing
this anti-democratic propaganda. We
ought to know whose money pays the
big bills-they must be big bills, be-
cause full page ads don't come cheap.
If we want technocracy then
we don't want democracy and if
we don't want democracy, then
what are we fighting for?
But we do want democracy, we in
tend to have it and keep it-and that
being the case WHY do the technoc-
racy propagandists have such a free
hand? AND, what shall we say of the
big newspapers that accept the full
page ads and the money that pays
for them? Let's have the whole
truth! - C. M. w.

controlled by machine guns?
By the minds and wills which dive
bombed Rotterdam
Which double-crossed even Stain;
pocketed Mussolini and Italy?
And now in cold blood are starving
the finest races in Europe?
Where will these little Super Men
take their appeals, then?
These are the alleged mentalities-
These corporation executives, and
their lawyers
Who laughed at laws made by our
Congress
Who ridiculed the statesmen who
couldn't make law on taxes
Through which their clever lawyers
could not drive an OK team
Who used to have their seats in the
United States Senate
In the days when it was known as
the "Millionaires' Club
Which was one reason why the in
come tax took so long getting into
law
Then they fought it in the courts,
where sat their former attorneys
Keeping it from becoming effective,
for decades
These are the men
Who could do business with Hitler
These are the birds, who killed child
labor laws
Who organized massacres in coal
fields; made hell-holes of steel mills
Who bought and sold state legis-
latures; bargained for and with
Judges
These are the mentalities, and these
are their habits of mind

new ENGLAND WAR
JOBS CALL WOMEN

Boston (ILNS) 1.-THE New England
Council says that some 35 per cent of
more than 10000 additional workers
to be employed in the New England
states through June of this year must
be women.
A bulletin issued by the council says
that selective service calls will take
out of factories an increasing number
of ''occupational deferments," leaving
places that must be filled by women,
by older men, by foreign-born and
aliens, by negroes and by physically
handicapped persons.
At the same time production sched-
ules will be stepped up to 24-hour, T.
day operation in many plants not at
present on three shifts.
Industrialists were urged in the bull
letin to study production schedules in
order to determine the kinds and num-
ber of workers necessary to meet such
new schedules.
