COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

big war we are fighting and how
much each one of us is going to have
to sacrifice in order to win that war"
The same thing has been said thou
sands of times verbally and in print,
but the Office of Censorship doesn't
think it fit for South American cir
culation.
The censorship official, according to
the Times, explained that the Postal
Section had decided that Latin Amer
leans must not be allowed to think
there is any weakness whatsoever in
the American war effort. Just as if
they didn't know what was apparent
to the whole world.
"You mean we must appear as me-
chanically perfect as an automobile
assembly line 2" the censorship gentle
man was asked.
"That's about it." he replied. "It's
not SOOu pSyGHOloSlCdl WdlldIS W ict
them think our productive capacity
can't meet every demand. We don't
want to emphasize the fact that we
are being rationed or that our citizens
are making sacrifices in their stand
ards of living"
He admitted, says the Times, that
refusal to transmit the letter was di-
rect censorship of personal opinion,
although the note accompanying the
letter when it was returned to the
sender said it was being held up be-
cause it contained defense matters
The ruling is an extraordinary ex-
ample of foolishness, hardly calculated
to inspire confidence in the Washing
ton direction of the war effort. The
Times should be given a citation of
honor for exposing it to what ought
to be the derision of the world.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-07-10

TIME gods, unless the war has made
them wholly incapable of laughter,
must be laughing now as they consider
a ruling of the Office of Censorship
that "gloomy" mail cannot be sent to
South America. The ruling, one OF the
most remarkable things of its kind
ever made by a censor, is given pub
licity in a special Washington dispatch
to the New York Times.
The Times says that individual
opinion about the United States war
effort, particularly opinion which pre-
sents what might be thought
"gloomy" picture or indicates that the
program is not running perfectly, IS
considered censorable if destined for
Latin-America - even in a personal
letter!
This ruling by the Postal Section of
the Office of Censorship was recently
revealed by refusal to transmit mail
to Argentina because the viewpoint OF
the writer was not optimistic. 1t was
frankly admitted by spokesman OF
the Office of Censorship that the letter
was returned to the sender, not be-
cause of any facts contained in the
written material, but because there
was direct statement that the Amer
lean people would have to make sacri-
fees to win the war.
Beat that if you cani
"Our experts here think the letter
was too gloomy to permit it to reach
a South American reader" this spokes-
man said in answer to an inquiry from
the sender.
He then selected the following SEN
tence as an example of what he meant:

nately large number of North Ameri-
cans haven't yet begun to know how

ELECTIONS----l942

(From Electrical Workers JournaD
If we were in the business of ex-
horting rather than of giving accurate
information, we would say to every
union man in the United States:
"Begin now to prepare for fall cleo
tions. Get every member of the fam
lily old enough to vote to registration
places, to primaries and to elections.
See to it that the candidate you vote
for is enlisted for the duration against
nazism and tota1itarianism, and also
is supporting collective bargaining.
The two hang together. Don't fail to
do this because it is the most impor-
tant job in hand for the summer"
What may happen is this: Labor
may be so busy building planes, tanks,
ships, artillery and other accoutre-
ments 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.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-07-10
IT'S UP TO LABOR

Wherever and whenever the decisive
battles are fought, we want our fight
ing men to have at hand whatever ma
terials and supplies they may need.
We who are back of the lines, in the
less dangerous places of service, must
gird ourselves for a supreme effort.
We must accept hardships and sacri-
fees as the price of freedom. What
we do or fail to do will advance or
retard our nations war effort.-Amer-
lean Federationist.

ACCIDENT RATE Low
In NAVY YARD WORK

Despite the huge increase in work
at navy yards during the past year,
the accident rate for 1941 showed a
II per cent drop over the year before,
according to Navy Department an
nouncement.
Man hours worked in naval shore
establishments was nearly double that
in 1910, increasing from 228, 8,739, ,143
to 452,390,783. Despite this influx of
largely green hands, the Navy's ac-
cident frequency rate was 1872 per
cent compared with rate of 1874 for
the nations largest industries as set
by the National Safety Councils
index.
The rate of severity of bad acci-
dents was reduced 38.5 per cent from
1910 to 1941 The rate was 0.53 as
compared with the industry's rate of
1.53.
