More to Be Built

Foley pointed out that there re-
main several thousand authorized
dwelling units TO be constructed
by private enterprise under the
proritit and quota system OF
which about $500 remain TO be
started in the recently enlarged
Willow Run critical housing area.
He has recently recommended an
increase in the allowable quota
for the Detroit district of 1000
units, on which recommendation
no action has yet been taken in
Washington.
I'm spite OF the many diff
culties created by war condi-
tions. i believe that private en-
terprise has done a commend
able job thus far and should
have every proper assistance In
completing the program as laid
out" Foley said. Despite linn
tied supplies of lumber and other
materials, nearly 1000 new
dwelling units were placed un-
der construction I'm the COM
bined area during November,
thus maintaining the pace which
had been requested during the
summer"

In his added capacity as hous.
ing chaiynan for the Michigan
Sta Council of Defense, Foley
said that every possible assistance
should be given by the public to
the intensive housing use cam
paign which he held will be one
of the chief assets in meeting the
war housing requirements.
Conversion of existing prop
critics Is one of the large oppor-
tunities," he said, "and there IL
a great deal of activity I'm that
direction. Applications for such
permits and priority aid on
WLB Forms PD-4O6 are being
received for processing In large
numbers. IL Is possible that sew
eraI thousand additional family
accommodations will be pro-
vided In that way before mid
year."

estimate made last week, states
that since the declaration of q

private builders have completed

$4,000 family residential units oi
various sorts in the Detroit anC
Willow Run districts.
"While this total Is several
thousand units less than would
probably have been produced In
the area I'm peacetime. II Is

tion OF the pressing war housing
problems of the district" Foley
said.
He stated that this estimate
includes about 5000 standard

from the War Productio Board,
so that an exact record Is not
available except after April 8,

"The estimate also includes

OWner May Rent

The owner will be allowed
one of the living units for his
family at an agreed rental.
Other units will be leased TO
war workers with their FAM
lilies, who are designated as
eligible by the local War
Housing Center.
The owner may sell his
property while it is leased TO
the government. The pur-
chaser. however, takes it sub
ject to the terms of the lease.
AT the expiration of the

NO PLACE FOR
COMMUNISM

(Christian Science Monitor)
Editorial comment on the release of
Earl Browder from the Federal penitan-
tiary at Atlanta has been somewhat more
restrained than that of certain individ
ualS, but it has made clear that President
Roosevelt was on dubious ground in COM
muting the sentence of the American
Communist leader.
First responses belied The Presidents
theory that the action would promote
national unity 1t is for Mr.. Browder
and his fellow Communists to prove by
quiet behavior that this result is possible.
The second leg of the explanation was
that Mr.. Browder's sentence for pass
port Justification should not be left so
severe as to appear political perSecu-
ton. This argument, if valid, might ap-
ply to the prosecution of one or two Axis
sympathizers, but the important fact in
all these cases is that none of the persons
involved was imprisoned for his opinions
but for specific breaches of the everyday
criminal code.
Some have felt that third but un-
spoken consideration in the BroWder case
was the desire to make a friendly gesture
toward Russia Surely Americans in gen
eral now recognize a debt to the Red
Army for its gallant resistance to NaZi
attack. But it is doubtful if Moscow
cares half as much about any member of
the Communist party in America as it
does about one tank or one plane deliver
ed to the Kharkov front.
Military aid? Yes Americans are
willing that Russia shall have it in plenty
as a powerful and proven ally against
Axis military aggression. But as for
political systems, Russia can have it's
Communism and the United States will
keep its constitutional Republic.

American informants indicated
that the visit of the United States
military mission would be brief, and
were inclined to discount the pos
sibility that Arnold, Towers and
their associates might plan with
British leaders an immediate sec
ond front against the Germans.
Further, though there were in
creasing signs that the situation on
the Kharkov front was difficult
military quarters said there was no
sign of Russian reverses which
might make it imperative for the
Allies to act at once, even if they
were not fully prepared.
But Russia was reported pressing
the Allies to start any sort of diver
sion, even if on a small scale, which
would relieve German pressure
against her.
A British military spokesman said
the Russian position on the Khar-

of their attack in the IZyum-Bar-

WE RE OVERDUE
FOR A SHOWDOWN
(Sisth of a Series }

Injustice will continue to pile upon in
justice unless the federal administration
soon revises the labor policy it has car
ried over from peacetime politics into
wartime economy. The greatest of them
all will be the injustice to today's fight
ing men, who will return from the battle
fields to find themselves locked out of
jobs because they have no labor union
seniority.
The only thing that will force a show
down upon politicians who direct the la
Dor policy will be public opinion, fully
informed of the present viclOuSness and
potential dangers in that policy.
We have attempted in the last few days
to outline the results of the labor policy
as we see them. Outstanding points are
these:
Federal requirements, that con-
contractors doing war work must hire
only union labor, force anyone who wants
TO help war production into the unions.
g The same requirements create an
artificial shortage which is described in
Washington as a skilled labor shortage
but which is actually union member
ship shortage.
g. Recommendation of labor, which the
administration contends it does not want,
is rapidly becoming a fact under the
administration own program, because
men are forced to join the unions wheth-
er they want to or not.
A. Union demands that a man must
become a permanent member once he
joins, linked with the government policy
forcing millions of men into unions, is
creating a huge monopoly which even now
is spilling over into municipal and pri-
vate industry, and which after the war
will effectively prevent returning sol
diers from getting jobs, because they are
not union members.
5. Neither industry nor labor, nor the
unions are responsible for the basic
wrongs in the labor picture; they are
direct outgrowths of the administration
short-sighted policy.
6. The only fair solution at this time
seems to be freezing" of all labor rela-
tions, as of Dec. pearl Harbor Day.,
so that the problem may be taken up
after the war without anyone's interests
having been prejudiced.

GANDHi THE PRACTICAL

(Riverside Press)
Petain is perhaps the worlds most
prominent figure today who is over 80
years old. He is not very good argument
for putting people of that age in high
office but there he is
At any rate, there can be no doubt who
is the most eminent man of those who
are in their 70's. 1t is Mahatma Gandhi,
now in his 74th year.
One of the most familiar figures on
this planet, he has arrived at that su-
preme stage of fame; he is byword, so
we'll known that wise cracks can be made
about him and be everywhere understood.
Less known is his practical side In his
3O's he was so successful a lawyer that
his annual income was $4,000 to $4,000
a year This was in South Africa, too
which is not a rich country. His money
making past has been thrust behind him,
and now few people know that, by the
hard test of financial success, this dream
er can match the hardest-headed lawyer
or business executive.
His practical sense, it is to be hoped, is
still with him. 1t would be sad ending
to his life of achievement to let the Japa-
nese overrun India for the sake of a
do,lbtful theory Of passive resistance.

ONLY COURAGEOUS ACTION
WILL CORRECT THE EVIL

Just talking is not going to right the
wrongs done by the administrations labor
policy Talking alone will not even
change that policy. Only concerted ac-
tion by majority of the people will do
it.
The action must be had on several
fronts. Demands to congressional rep
resentatives, showing the tenor of pub
lie opinion, are important. But equally
important is the courage required of in
dviduals, employees and employers alike,
in resisting at home the encroachment
of misguided politicians and their union
eering pets on individual freedom.
To work as we please, to join whatever
organization we please, has long been an
American principle. In war time we
all must work, we all want to work
and we want to work where our labor
will do the most good toward victory.
That we should have to join any private
organization before we can offer our la
Dor, when labor is so badly needed, is an
insult to American intelligence and an en-
croachment upon American freedom.
Vigilance it has been said many times,
is the price Of liberty. That is as true at
home as on the battlefield today.
