From American Fe(erationst)
THE PRESIDENTS program of equal sacrifice
has not been carried out. On April 27 the Chief
Executive proposed 7-point program to stop in
1laton by distributing the necessary sacrifices over
different groups of the population.
discrepancies between low personal incomes
and very high personal incomes shall be essened' y
he said "No American citizen ought to have net
income, after he has paid his taxes, of more than
$4,000 year" =
The House Ways and Means Committee has
scornfully rejected this $4,000 top for personal
incomes set by the President. While employers
attempted to use the Presidents proposal to sta
bllze wages as an excuse to stop all wage in
creases, several thousand wealthy persons in con-
troll OF companies filling war contracts are to be
permitted to keep self-conferred incomes, after
taxes, ranging from $4,000 to more than $6OOOOO
per annum.
What sacrifices are these fat cats making d?
Will some one tell us, please?

(From Electrical Workers JournaD
IF WE WERE in the business of exhorting rather
than of giving accurate information, we would
say to every union man in the United States:
Begin now to prepare for fall elections Get
every member of the family old enough to vote
to registration places, to primaries and to cleo
tlons See to it that the candidate you vote for is
enlisted for the duration against Nazism and
Toatarianism and also is supporting collective
bargaining. The two hang together. Don't fail to
do this because it is the most important job in
hand for the summer
What may happen is this: Labor may be so
busy building planes, tanks ships artillery and
other accoutrements of war that it will fail to be
aware of the stealthy campaign now going on to
undermine foreign policy in the United States and
the labor policy of the United States. There is
danger that our people will sleep until it is too late
TO take proper action to protect themselves
against marauders at home.

That was the closed door

Refusal to give up one smallest
iota-
OF complete independence of national
action
Regardless of the welfare of any

Financial bankruptcy could be faced,

Certainty of approaching catastro-

OF national political independence
Yet no nation on earth was, and is,
more dependent
Upon the rest of the earth, and upon

For it's daily supply of Bread, and

France also, demanded security, with
guarantees
Against future invasions, aggres-

But France, like England, could not
live alone
Without world markets for her
wines, silk textiles, munitions
Broken reeds, shattered in their

Are what these statesmen found they

Policing the World
Accepted now as necessary by United

Violates first principles of national

isolation
But The Law comes in, when ban

And somebody has to carry the guns

Vigilante posses are now hunting the

Who shall take the place of the Wig

Canada Terminates
Recognition Of Vichy
And Ends Relations
Action Comes "a Hours
After French Break
With United States
By the Associated Press.

OTTAWA, Nov. 10.-Canada. the
last member of the British COM
monwealth to retain diplomatic ties
with France. ended relations last
night little more than "a hours
after the Vichy government broke
off with the United States.
Prime Minister w. l.. Mackenzie
King told French Minister Rene
Ristelhueber that because Vichy
had ordered resistance the United
Nations forces seeking to liberate
France in North Africa, it was per
fectly clear that there no longer
exists in France legal or con-
stitutional government in any sense
representative of the French peo-
pie. but only a puppet government" "
The Prime Minister stressed the
distinction between the breaking of
relations, as Vichy did with WASH
lngton, and the action of the Ca
madam government which did not
break relations but terminated it's
recognition of the Vichy govern
ment, thus automatically ending
diplomatic relations.
Canada has no diplomats to re-
call from Vichy since the only form
Of representation she has had since
the fall of France has been the
occasional visits from London of

Mr.. Churchill said "our thoughts
turn toward France, groaning in
bondage under the German heel"
and added that even now when
misguided and suborned Frenchmen
are firing upon their rescuers. am
prepared to state my faith that
France will rise again.
I'VE have no wish but to see
France free and strong, with her
empire gathered round her and
with Alsace-Lorra:ne restored" Mr..
Churchill declared. I'VE covet no
French possession and we have no
acquisitive designs or ambitions in
North Africa or any other part of
the world"
Mean to Hold Own.
Then he added firmly: Let me
make this clear in case there should
be any mistake about it: We mean
to hold our own. I have not become
the Kings first minister in order to
preside over the liquidation OF the
British Empire"
The Prime Minister, describing the
Egyptian campaign as "a remarkable
and definite victory" said the
bright gleam has caught the helmets
of our soldiers and warmed and
cheered all our hearts"
Il have never promised anything
but blood, tears. toll and sweat he
said in an address. Nov. however,

measure of fire and steel which they
have so often meted out to others.

These were the operations in
which the British advanced south

complete control from the Vichy au-

Mr. Churchill was cheered loudly
