4O-hour week law is brought by
people who think the discussion
is over whether labor should be
permitted to work more than 40
hours a week. Actually it is con-
cerned entirely with whether the
workers Should continue to be
paid a higher hourly rate for the
hours which they do work over
40 each week. In most war pro-
duction industries the men al
ready are working 48 or 81 hours
week but under the law are
being paid time and a half for
each hour they work over 40.

THE HAWAIIAN STORY

DESPITE THE heavy damage inflicted by the
- Japanese sneak attack on Honolulu and Pearl
Harbor, it is our belief that public confidence IN
the Government and the armed forces was greatly
improved by the prompt and candid report of Sec
retary Knox. In that instance, the lag of week
between the event and comprehensive report was
not highly important. 1t much more vital that
both the responsible authorities and the people be
given a clear, expert story of what had happened,
free from the slightest thought that anybody was
being shielded any major facts suppressed
The United States was not organized on Dec. Z
to report a major engagement through official
channels. We did not have the facilities for MAX
ing known the facts Of reverse within few
hours, as did Mr.. Churchill on British misfortunes
near Malaga. We shall do much better in future,
when the men commanding our armed forces fully
realize the necessity Of getting news out promptly.
The dictator nations have frequently beaten
their adVersaIes to the gun with news that didn't
stand up when all the facts were known, and we
can very we'll do without that variety OF victory.
1t should be evident however, that with all Of the
technical news skS at the command Of the Amer
lean press and the American government we can
quickly establish supreme reputation for speed,
completeness, and accuracy Of our reports be they
good or evil tidings

SOCIALIST GROUP PLEDGES
FULL SUPPORT IN WAR

New York City QLNS).-Pledging
"active and untiring cooperation" in
the nations war effort, the Social
Democratic Federation, at member
ship meeting here, declared that "no
needful sacrifice is too great, no use
full service is too humble or too hard
when freedom is at stake" and called
upon all democratic Socialists to give
unstinted support to the Government
in the prosecution of the war.
"America's hands are clean," the
meeting declared. eff our Government
and our people have fault to regret,
it is that they were too patient, too
much in love with peace, too slow to
draw the sword. The amazing infamy
of the Japanese attack has united the
American people more solidly than
they have been united in any previous
war"
Speakers included Algernon Lee,
city chairman of the Social Demo
cratic Federation; Councilman-elect
Louis P. Goldberg, and August Claes-
sens.
The Social Democratic Federation
is composed of Socialists who left the
Socialist party some years ago be-
cause Of opposition to the policies and
tactics Of Norman Thomas and other
leaders of the party.

DROP THE SMITH BILL!

THE RISING of American labor to play it's part
in this war emergency was to be expected In
every democratic country this war has been-in a
special sense-labor's war; Working men have a
clear picture of what has happened to their broth
ers in the dictator countries. So the officials of
the American Federation of Labor and of the CIC
are representing the deepest interests of their
members when they pledge to our government
active and willing support.
The spontaneous patriotic impulse Of labor
goes far beyond any official statements. Strikes
were called off. Thousands of minor officials
swung instantly into line. Mass meetings of mem
ment of millions for national unity.
The Smith Bill was an ill-conceived thing from
the start. The only possible result of it would have
been trouble and discomfort. No one can guaran-
tee that we shall have no strikes. But the men of
labor themselves have raised the no-strke slogan.
To spend time debating this bill now would be an
insult to them at the very moment when they are
surging up to do their part.

REDUCING CRIME RATE
"MARKED DECREASE" in delin

a "MARKED DECREASE' in delinquency in
areas of Oakland, California, has occurred
where low-rent housing United States Housing
Authority projects have taken the place of former
slums, says the Oakland Housing Authority.
A report by the Oakland police shows that in
one section where slums were replaced by large
public housing project juvenile delinquency de-
clined 22 per cent although serious cases of uve-
nile delinquency increased for the city as whole
during the same period.
Commenting on the report the Oakland Post
Enquirer said: "There can be hardly any argu-
ment the effect of depressing, unsanitary
overcrowded and obsolete housing conditions on
the crime rate Clean up the housing situation in
the more depressed areas, replace scabrous old
shacks and tenements with modern, decent dwell
ings, and the crime rate inevitably goes down."

WORLD RESPONSIBILITY ON l.. $.

EKEEDOM, PROGRESS and security for the
common man everywhere in the world-for
what are the democracies fighting if not for this ?
We must build the new world of industrial democ-
racy right here at home if a new vision is to fol-
low the arms forge against totalitariansm.
What hope can democracy hold for the enslaved
masses of Europe unless they can look to America
and see that free workers here are building the
foundations for 4 better life?
The United States is now the economic center
of the world. Unless we keep to the principles
which make possible free institutions, shall we not
lose the war whatever the military outcome? We
must have freedom in order to win the war Our
decision on the right to strike will be felt around
the world. A curb on strikes would be strong
argument for totalitariansm. For if labor is not
free in America, what hope can democracy hold
for the masses of Europe?

WHY SUCH QUICK ACTION?

RAILROAD MANAGENENTS lost no time in
~ seeking passenger and freight rate boosts, fol-
lowing settlement Of the wage controversy. The
ink was scarcely dry on the wage agreement when
they rushed to confer on the drive for higher
rates.
This does not look like industrial statesman
ship. Why the preciptate action? For the first
time in years, most railroads making money
and the outlook is for continued good profits
despite the wage increase. Passenger and freight
traffic has scared and is running at high levels,
setting records in some cases. Railroads are CIV
ing better service than ever before with much
new and efficient equipment.
In addition to making money, the carriers are
winning new customers and friends among the
shippers and the travelling public. Why Jeopardlze
any Of this and risk dVertinG it to other forms OF
transportation, by boosting rates? AS volume in
creaSes rates should go down. as a matter OF fact.
But in any case, there appears to be no reason for
speedy general increases.
The Interstate Commerce Commission and
state regulatory bodies would do well to study the
situation and take no haSty action on granting the
carriers application until the whole situation sur
rounding railroad rates is carefully studied
