The Fight Is On!

when this hydra headed monster was
more clearly recognized for exactly

lust of killing.
Forced into the open by the war
drums, it can be fought in the open
face the dragon and fight if down
instead of hedging on the issues.
Up TO now we have all too often
compromised with evil. We have taken
sides and cOndoned those cIueities
which did not affect our own particu-
lar interest We need now 10 condemn
cruelty as such-whoeyer perpetuatcs
it, or whether ii is in existence -
whether it be in the concentration
camps of Hitler. or on the chain gangs
of Russia, or in the rape of Marking.
| We must come out definitely against
| discrimination, but we must be con
SiStent. Too many people Seek-not fair
play for all-but rule for themselves.
We have seen that situationin India.
With the enemy at their gates. the IN
dian politicians still sought advantage
for their particular group, not equality
| for all.
Look back n few years at the Axis
record. First the Japanese complained
that there was discrimination against
them in Manchuria, 50 they seized it
and disseminated against every one
else. Then the Italians claimed they

they started n fight-to enslaye the
Ethiopans. Finally Hitler claimed the

terms that made the Versailles treaty

Davis ExpIodes
War Strike Myth
Shutdowns In Vital Indus
tries Sharply Cut Since
Sturt Of War

Washington, d. C.-The strike myth
was exploded by Chairman William II.
Davis of the War Labor Board.
Since the war, shutdowns in vital
production industries have been rela-
lively negligible, he declared. During
the first quarter of this year, strike
idleneSS in war industries was only
one fifteenth of time lost in the same
period last year, he revealed.
Even these figures don't give the
true picture of uninterrupted war pro-
duction, because they include one of
the two largest strikes listed for
March even though the strike took
place in New Orleans laundrieS and
had scarcely any effect on the war
effort. This strike was included only
because it was certified to the WLB.
There were approximately 332, ZOO
man-days of idleness due to strikes at-
fecting the war effort during the first
quarter Of 1912 or about one-fourth of
the approximately 1854 600 man-days
idle for the first quarter of 1911. How
ever, employment on war materials in
creased three and twO-thirdS times
since the first quarter of 194l-from
about 1876 million man-days in the first
quarter of 194l to about 552 million
for the first quarter of 1912.
Expressed as percentage of war
employment, idleness in strikes related
to war production was approximately
80 400 of one per cent in the first
quarter of 1911 and only $500 of one
per cent for the first quarter of 1912.
All strikes appearing to affect the
war effort We're included in these fig
ureS, which were based on the work OF
an Interdepartmental Committee repre-
Senting six Federal agencies interested
in war labor matters-the War, Navy,
and Labor Departments, the Maritime
Commission. the War Production Board
and the War Labor Board.
"FrOm now on there will be one of
fetal list of strikes affecting the war,
Mr.. Davis said. '"The new plan for co
ordinating all strike data into Il single
list has been adopted to end the con
fusion of the past and to give the pub
lie clear picture"
