MORE INFORMATION NEEDED

Complaint is increasing that the
people are not being told the truth
about the wars progress. Granted
that a censorship is necessary, many
feel the censorship is being overdone.
AS Hanson W. Baldwin, military
writer, says:
"The necessary secrecy of wartime
is the reason given for Withholding
much information; often this is in
valid, and there is little doubt that
our enemies know much more about
our military situation than the Amer
ican people do. But even if certain in
formation should reveal facts to the
enemy, it might be more beneficial to
the war effort to publish it than tc
withhold it. For public opinion is a
war weapon even more powerful than
many divisions and many ships

INQUIRY IN ORDER

Charges made by Nathan Straus,
former head of the United States
Housing Administration, that interests
profting by the ownership and oper-
alton of slums are seeking to wreck
the governments public housing pro-
gram, call for more than a furry of
newspaper headlines and comment. A
searching Congressional investigation
would seem to be very much in order.
Mr.. Straus told President Roosevelt
he was resigning as USHA head be-
cause the enemies of slum clearance
were using his continuance in office as
a pretext for the enactment of legis-
lation that will jeopardize our war
effort and blight the face of America
with a scourge of new slums." The
President warmly praised Mr.. Straus'
work as administration but gave no
indication he contemplated any action
on the Straus charges.
1t has been known in Washington
for many months that certain people
were out to prevent the USHA from

gates representing Czechoslovakla,
Greece. Poland, and Yugoslavia unan-
imously adopted joint declaration
stating their position with regard to
the present war and reaffirming the

"We hope that the end of this war,
which was forced upon us, will save
a hundred million inhabitants of Cen
tral Europe and of the Balkans from
their present state of wretchedness by
assuring them the possibility of stable
employment, guaranteed by recon-
struction and by the development of

of the peasant population and to their
social and economic standards, because
it is on those elements that peace and
security in that region depend. 1t IS
in this spirit that our present joint
declaration has been conceived, and it
is in this same spirit of frank and
friendly collaboration that we conceive
the part to be played by our countries
in the reconstruction of new Europe,
enjoying a stable peace with freedom
and prosperity"
The foregoing declaration was
signed by the four delegations which
were headed by Jan Masaryk, Czecho-
slovakia; Aristide Dimitratos, Greece;
Jan Stanczyk, Poland, and Sava N. Ko-
sanovich, Yugloslavia.
The declaration served as the ideo-
logical basis in the foramtion Of a
common organization which has sub
sequently been set up to study the
problems of postwar reconstruction
and to plan for the economic, social,
and cultural future of the four nations.

UNION REPRESENTATION, NOW!

Organized labor now has golden
opportunity to strengthen its position
and its influence as an integral part
of American life by helping to make
decisions and formulate policies on
many matters affecting the people
Cooperation of all elements of the
population is being stressed as never
before and the way is open for labor
to take part in nearly every human
activity.
In Washington, labor is making
progress in getting representation on
national bodies. A much wider degree
of labor representation is desirable
and labor is pressing for this with all
its power. But even more can be done
locally, fact recognized by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, which urges
all local unions:
BE sure to have representation
on all local war boards, such as
fair rent committees, rationing
boards, selective service boards,
committees under the Office of Ci-
william Defense"
The trend of the times is all for la
Dor representation, everywhere, and
it's up to trade unionists to take ad-
vantage of this favorable turn of
events.

New Orleans Archbishop
Denounces All Sales Tax

New Orleans ILNS).-Striking at
the principle of sales taxes on the
common mans necessities, Archbishop
Rummel in an address predicted the
enactment of such a federal tax would
crush the hearts of millions of Amer
ican citizens.
The archbishop warned of the mo-
raIe-destroying effect of grinding down
those who already pay heavy taxes
from meager earnings. Breed dis
content and you nurture the germs
that disintegrate morale, the arch
bishop said.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

The new organization is particularly
important because it may well become
the nucleus for a larger organization
of the nations of Eastern Central Eu-
rope, based on the principles of CO.
operation and the inter- dependence of
nations and growing out of COM
munity of purpose and action. Thus
it may be regarded as a significant
step towards future Eastern Central
European Federation.
The governments of the four coun-
tries-all victims of Nazi aggression
and brutality-hav come to realize
the similarity of the economic, social,
and cultural conditions prevailing in
their respective nations. They recog-
nize that they are facing the same
problems and must seek for common
solutions The close political collabo-
ration between the Polish and Czecho-
slovakian Governments in Exile is a
well-known fact. Similar friendly col
laboration has been developed recently
between Greece and Yugoslavia.
1t was in this spirit of recognition
of common problems and of the need
for joint action that the Central and
Eastern European Planning Board was
founded by the four delegations on
January 7, 1912, at the invitation of
Jan Stanczyk, Polish Minister of La
Dor and Social Welfare. The board
will cooperate closely with the Inter
national Labor Office and will serve
as a center for the joint action of the
four countries all, it is to be noted,
members of the International Labor
Organization.
The four national groups composing
the Central and Eastern European
Planning Board appoint delegates to
the General Council of the Board. The
General Steering Committee, which
directs the activities of the Board, con-
sists of four deputy chairmen who
take turns in serving as acting chair
men, and a secretary-g general.

WAR LABOR BOARD
IS FACING STORMY
CAREER --LEISERSON

New York City (ILNS) The Ma
tional War Labor Board, recently set
up by President Roosevelt, will have
STORMY career" William M. Lesser
son, we'll known labor arbitrator and
member of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, predicted in an address
at the City College here.
Success or failure of the new board
would be determined by how it dis
poses of the "closed shop" issue and
demands for pay increases, Dr.. Lesser
son said. The prospect now, he added
is that these problems would prove
too big for the board to handle and
Congress will have to establish ma
tional policy to deal with them.
Asserting that the board had been
provided with no guiding policy on
which to base its decisions, Leiserson
said it seemed strange to leave the
determination of such crucial national
issues to an arbitration board designed
to make awards in particular cases.
Trouble is Predicted
If the board decides each case on it's
merits, as did the former Defense Me-
diation Board, he warned it might meet
the same fate as that body. He raised
the question of what would happen if
employer or labor members resigned
when decisions went against them, as
the CIO withdrew from the Defense
Mediation Board.
Whether the board establishes prece-
dents regarding maintenance of union
membership or some other form of
"closed shop" or indicates that union
security" will be granted in some
cases and not in others, he foresaw
trouble.
"In either case" he said, "war pro-
duction will be impeded unless broad
policies are determined in advance and
people may know what to expect in
the way of compulsory union member
ship or wage adjustments in relation
to the cost Of living"
Any governmental policy on such
fundamental issues, he contended
should not be left to an arbitration
board, but should be formulated by
Congress or the President under the
authority delegated to him as leader
of the entire ware program.
/
Cooperative Action Best
at is preferable" he continued
'both for efficiency and national unity
that the policies which are to govern
labor relations in war industries be
worked out by mutual agreement anc
consent so far as possible. The con
siderations that led the administration
to try to enlist the cooperation of la
Dor and management as equal part
ners in the war program as whole
are particularly important in dealing
with the labor problems that are cru
cial enough to affect the wage -earners
will to work and the ability of man.

production.

show that it has done good work. The
nation is entitled to know the truth

the USHA and it is deeply interested
in the agency's continued activity.

of working out successfully this
method of consent, of mutual agree
ment or voluntary partnership in a
common enterprise, then of course the
only alternative will be for Congress
to legislate what the policies should
be-"
Asked at the end of his lecture how
the National Labor Relations Board
would develop in the future, Leiserson
replied that it was and would remain
the very basis of cooperation be-
tween management and labor"
