Farmers Enslaved
Under Hitler Rule

Under Hitler's rule in Germany, a
farmer may not feed his cattle from
his own grain until he has sold it to
the monopolists and bought it back
again at higher price.
Production quotas are set by the
nazi executives of the giant food cor
poration which is managed by big
business and controls every detail of
the farmers work and life. A local
nazi leader can arbitrarily seize the
farm of any one he dislikes.
These and many other facts on
what farmers have suffered under Hit
ler's war-geared machine are now
brought together by Farm Research
in a popular-prices 32-page pamphlet,
Farmers in Nazi Germany" by Anna
Rochester It is the vivid story of
nazi false promises made to win the
farmers support. Many were de-
ceiyed by nazi lies but they soon
woke up to find themselves tied and
bound as slaves in complete subjec-
ton to nazi agents of big business.
The blight of Hitlerism has now
spread over most of Europe. The
shows what nazi rule would
mean to American farmers. And
nazi power threatens our own country
today.

INDUSTRY PROFITS
INCREASED II PER Cent
Steel Institute Concludes That Profits
Show Eight Per Cent On Capitalization
Said To Be Heaviest Watered Stock in the
World

NEW YORK.-FP) = Although its
federal taxes increased 2709e, the steel
industry made such huge profits in
1871 that it was able to pay S2S,879,-
Ill more in dividends last year than
lit did in 1910, the Iron & Steel Insti-
tute admitted July Is.
Although the figures were dressed
up to make the earnings seem as
small as possible, gross profits, even
after the usual bookkeeping tricks of
deductions for depreciation and deple-
ton, amounted to S947, 296,854 or an
increase of 1870 over $564,445,O54 in
1910.
The institute figures, Of course,
made no mention of the increases in
salaries paid steel executives, or of
the fact that steel lobbyists In Wash
ington rugged the excess profits tax
law to their benefit
Besides paying 1856, ,0S9 to stock
holders, the steel companies made
hidden profits of $3.50, ,023, the diff
ference between dividends paid and
the total net profits of 1927 ,32S,021
made after all taxes and bond interest
were taken care Of
Bond interest amounted to S29,03S,-
012 in 1941 The institute added this
figure to the net profit total and con-
cluded that on capitalization of $4,-
405, 263,7S5, the steel industry's net
earning rate in 1941 was so. Steel
capitalization has always been con-
sidered by economists as among the
most heavily watered in the world
and therefore an so return can be
enormous.

The U. S. Steel Corp. has followed
the example of many other big bust
ness concerns and published large
goodwill ad in the newspapers of the
country The ad is evidently intended
to make the American public think
well of the corporation and incident
ally to lower the amount of taxable
income by advertising.
The ad is presented lin the public
interest. The people are entitled
to these facts"
1.-THE 1905 were tough years in
the steel business" the ad begins.
Stockholders were getting no divi-
dends Some years showed huge net
losses" millions were also out-of-
work, but that fact is omitted from

Right in that lean period U. S.
Steel decided to invest $500, 100000 in

Steel's production this year will sur
pass the peak year Of 1929 by more
than six million tons. The manu-

Corp. alone produce more steel than

ON THE
CAPITALS CUFF
BY HENRY ION

The main argument of the majority
in the Natl. War Labor Board decision
on the Little Steel case was that the
demand Of the United Steelworkers
(CIO) for 81 a day would be infla
tionary. It's speciousness was thor.
oughly exposed in discussions prior to
the decision.
The minority of four labor members
George Meany and Robert Watt OF
the ALL and r. ]. Thomas and
Thomas Kennedy of the clio = pro.
posed that, in order to avoid any pos
sibility of inflationary results, the 81
increase be paid in war bonds or SEC
be paid in bonds and 44c in cash.
Both proposals were voted down
to A.
"Inasmuch as the majority does not
and can not contend that granting the
wage adjustment Of 81 day in the
form of war bonds would be initiation
airy, its whole argument collapses, "
the minority declared.
In ruling for 44c day, the board
majority adopted a new theory of its
own on the cost of living and ignored
the facts presented by its oman fact
finding panel.
The board majority said that mas
much as steel wages raised 11.S9o in
April 1941 and the cost of living had
increased 1595 nationally since Jan
uary 1, 1941, the steel workers were
a theoretical 3.296 behind in the race
to keep up with prices.
The fact finding board however
found that "the buying power of the
steel worker has decreased approx
mately 1897 since the last general
change of wage rates in the industry"
Labor believes that having messed
up price control and rationing, OPA
to take it out of the workers hides.
This belief is strengthened by the
position his representative took at the
sterilization conference and
here that Henderson is put
ting pressure on President Roosevelt
to ask congress for wage control
law.
It is also reported that while Hen
derson is demanding that the workers
real earnings be reduced, he is argu
ing for business subsidies on the
theory that this will help him control
prices.
Nobody can blame Henderson for
failure to enact the Roose-
velt 7-point program but in the words
Of Consumers Union, the OPA's "in-
coherent and contradictory policies,
its reliance on selling interests, its
deliberate rebuffs of the force which
alone can make an anti-inflation pro-
gram work - the people = are basic
faults, and the Gripping blows which
has dealt OPA are second
to these"
Henderson, in other words, has fol-
Owed a policy of appeasement.
1t may seem long way from Hen
iersons offices to the Don river in

Labor Not Satisfied
With Role In WPB


Labor is disappointed, to put it
mildly, that nobody seems to be pay
ing much attention to the senate Tru-
man committee recommendations,
made several weeks ago, that labor
and small business be given greater
voice in determination of WPB overall
policy.
OF course, WPB itself is fighting for
it's life, or rather fighting to prevent
from becoming merely sideshow in
the entire war production picture.
More and more the Army is edging
into the field of plant management, on
the theory of seeing to it that war
contracts are fulfilled
This also is making labor a bit re-
stive. Labor doesn't like the idea OF
management getting its orders from
the brass hats, and for good reason;
the brass hats have never shown any
particularly sympathy for the aspira-
lions of organized labor.
In the fight that is going on be-
tween the Army and WPB over who
shall lay down the law to manage
ment, labor is unquestiOnably in SYM
pathy with the latter, although WPB
has never brought labor into the pro-
duction picture in any real sense. But
labor feels that the generals could
more profitably devote all of their
time to the job of devising ways and
means of licking Hitler, and let the
job of industry management to the
civilians, who understand it better.
The Small War Plants Corporation,
set up to give small business a greater
share in the nations war effort, also
is pretty much on the sidelines. 1t
hasn't shown any vitality whatever.
If it has started to function, nobody

Russia, but it is this same policy of
hesitancy, retreat and equivocation
before the appeasers and defeatists
that helps Hitler to continue his adj
vance on the Caucasus.
Weeks have passed since Roosevelt,
Churchill and Molotov agreed on the
urgent tasks of opening a second
front" and now Ferdinand Kuh, Quen-
tin Reynolds and other correspondents
in London report the second front is
out for this year.
Organized workers who were the
first in the U. S. to raise the cry for
the second front are pouring letters,
cards and kilograms into the White
House assuring President Roosevelt
that no matter how much pressure
there is on him from the appeasers
and defeatists here and in Britain
against second front, labor is sup
porting him in his agreement with
Molotov and wants to see it carried
out now.

when this is written "wednesday eve
ning) gives him safe margin.
The race in the first district on the
republican ticket still lies between Ed
Toomey of Helena, and Howard X.
Hazelbaker of Missoula. With Hazel
baker having a lead of 545 votes over
Toomey the issue is still undecided
as reports are not in as yet from SO
of the districts precincts. While
Hazelbaker is comparatively UNI
known, the fact that his father, the
former Frank Hazelbaker spent many
years in Montana politics, makes the
name well known and recognizable
and attracts the uniformed voter.
The candidates for congress in the
second district are the incumbent,
James O'Connor on the democratic
ticket and r. F. Haynes on the re-
publican ticket.
