M'NUTT PREDICTS
HUGE INCREASE in
JOBS NEXT YEAR

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). - BY
Christmas of this year, half of the
men in the United States between the
ages of 20 and 65 will be in the armed
forces or in the war industries, it is
predicted by Paul V. McNutt, head of
the War Manpower Commission.
The increase in men workers will
be in addition to women war workers,
whose ranks will be swelled from the
present 100000 to 100000 by the
end of 1912, McNutt says in a forward
to new pamphlet, "Work Will VIM"
issued by the Manpower Commission.
In RECOMMENDATION of the nations
manpower, McNutt said that with full
and effective voluntary cooperation
with the government "it will be un-
necessary to put into effect legal con-
trolls which will inevitably limit the
freedom of action of workers and en-
ployers alike"
McNutt, who has been under fire of
labor spokesmen for talk of freezing"
workers to their jobs, repeated a pre-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-06-12

vious hint of one instrument for as
signing men to jobs-the cancellation
of occupational draft deferments for
those who change jobs without ap-
proval of the United States Employ
ment Service.
In 1943, said McNutt, direct war
jobs are to be increased more than
three-fold, to an aggregate of more
than 20 million. The armed forces, at
the same time, are to be increased, he
said, from about three million to seven
million, or perhaps to ten million.
On April l, war production en-
ployed nine millions, an increase of
more than two million in three months
By war employment is meant all
manufacturing on war contracts, lend
lease and foreign purchases, and a
percentage of transportation, public
utilities and other industries directly
chageable to the war.

tention on three enemies of war pro-
duction that the nation can i'll afford
to tolerate at this critical time.
Enthusiastic over results already ac-
complished by the labor management
production drive committee set up by
the R. Wallace & Sons Manufacturing
Company of Wallingford, engaged in
war work, and Local As of the Inter
national Jewelry Workers Union, A.
F. of L. affiliate, men and manage
ment staged a community celebration
and public hanging" of Americas
enemies that drew repeated cheers
from the Wallace workers, school chill
dren who had been released from
classes for the celebration, and par
ents and army and navy officials and
American legionnaires.
The victims of the hanging were
Hitler, dubbed "lost time" Mussolini,
known as "inefficiency," and Hirohito,
labeled accidents" The figures were
designed by Russall Patterson, we'll
known magazine illustrator.
Arriving at the factory yard, the
three figures were given mock trial
with Uncle Sam presenting the
charges.
The Wallace production drive pro-
gram includes use of shop posters, re-
productions of which are run in the
local newspapers once week. Weekly
pay envelope reminders call the work
ers' attention to the need for lessen
ing waste time and waste effort.

Mexico goes to war, partner with
Uncle Sam, with not a dissenting vote
in the Congress that gave President
Avila Camacho his declaration of war
and his special powers for running the
war.
What a zig-zag course history has
run in the relations between these
two countries!
Time was, not too many years back
when the two nations shouted "gringo"
and "greaser" at each other, in hate
and derision.
Not SO any more, brother, not so
any more.
And for the great change you can
give Franklin D. Roosevelt full credit,
with his good neighbor policy, but you
can't take away the fact that organ
lied labor laid the foundation and put
down the first great stones in the
walls.
Josephus Daniels was Secretary of
the Navy when United States war
ships blasted into Vera Cruz and he
was ambassador to Mexico in the days
of the fruition of the policy of de-
cency and understanding. A strange
road of history.
The first men of good will to go into
Mexico from the United States after
the "Vera Cruz incident" were men of
labor and what they had to say was
simple and honest. 1t was: eve covet
nothing of yours except your friend
ship; we want nothing from you but
understanding and cooperation where
ever we can help each other"
Strange as it may seem, those simple
words were believed and in that first
World War they helped greatly to-
ward defeating the German propa-
ganda, just as good neighborliness is
doing today.
Labor in those earlier days had the
backing of Woodrow Wilson, but it
was labor that laid down the policy
and carried the word into Mexico

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

first defeating and annihilating the
japanese armies in China and then
carrying the war to the Japanese
archipelago itself-and this can be
done with only small percentage of
the present aviation and ammunition
output of the United States.
''Does China need many planes?
No. China needs only 1000 bombers
and pursuit planes-a fraction of the
monthly production of the United
States-to deliver a severe blow to
the invading armies and thereby to
turn the tide of the war in the Far
East"
And Contemporary China" adds
that Brig. Gen. Claire L. Chenault,
leader of the Flying Tiger force of
u. S. airmen in China, says 1000
planes can wipe out" the Japanese
air force.
After further analyzing the whole
situation and pointing out the dlSaS-
trous if not fatal results of Chinese
defeat, Contemporary China" sums
up as follows:
Nov is the best time to attack ia
pan. The most logical locale to start
the counter-offensive is China where
100000 stubborn fighters are ready
to march at moments notice. 1t is
positively not Australia, nor India,
separated as these are by thousands
of miles of water from Japan. 1t is
from China that the war can be most
conveniently carried into the heart OF
Japan.
"China needs prompt assistance and
adequate assistance. She needs il
urgently and desperately!
'If assistance is not forthcoming
not only may China be knocked out OF
the war, but Australia and India may
be indefensible. And the war itself
may be lost.
Let it not again be too late OF
too little!"

WE MUST DISTINGUISH

citing hatred which violates religious
principles has been denied by Archi-
bald WacLeish, director of the Office
of Facts and Figures. MacLeish
pointed out that the President has
clearly indicated the necessity for the
anger of common humanity in fight

MacLeish insisted, must not be con-

Out of the new confidence came the
Pan American Federation of Labor, a
structure built upon mutual trust and
confidence, great agency for good IN
its time and precursor of the honor
able relationship of today between
these two nations.
That the Pan American Federation
came upon days of weakness cannot
dim, in history, the luster of what it
did in its days of strength, when a
grave emergency was upon our ma
tion and upon the world.
That it has been poorly nurtured by
most of its friends and knitted in the
back by some of it's friends is perhaps
beside the point in pointing up its
great role in laying down the solid
rocks upon which today's great broth
erhood in arms is possible.
And if the Marines sing about "the
Halls of Montezuma," as they do, per-
haps it does not carry quite the old
time sting below the Rio Grande,
where gallantry and hatreds are alike
intense.
The story of the great turn of
events in our relations with Mexico
has its other Importance in the fact
that without fair dealing with Mexico
we never could have had friendship
and trustfulness in either Central or
South America. We had to and, luck
lily we did, build first at our doorstep.
So now only Argentina and Chile
stand aloof from the solid grouping
of nations in this hemisphere. And
there it is not the people SO much as
it is a perverse and mis-aligned lead
ership which cannot presently be over
thrown or ousted.
Perhaps in this hemisphere we have
pointer for the postwar world.
There has been among these nations
OF ours, all proud and some OF them
very sensitive, tolerance and fair
dealing that has led to unity of view
toward certain large questions of N
ternational relationship The record
isn't perfect, nor will it ever be, but
it is good enough to weld into har-
mony of world effort these nations
that once had discord and mutual dis
trust.
The robbery motive has gone out,
with fine profit to all. So it must go
out throughout the world, after we
have won the right to live in liberty
and freedom.
1t was the robbery motive that made
hate; it is the fairness motive that
has brought friendship.-C. M. w.

MORE COMPULsIoN TALK

Talk of freezing" labor in war jobs
is meeting with justifable resentment
in the ranks of labor Especially is it
arousing resentment when coupled
with Work or Fight" threats for
freezing" jobs, as if induction into
the army was penalty, such as a jail
sentence, to be imposed for recalci-
trancy.
The freezing" talk, both as to jobs
and wages, is part of a disturbing
drive for compulsory methods in the
war effort, previously mentioned in
these columns in connection with the
sale of war bonds. AS was pointed
out, some people, both in and out of
government, seem unable to get it
through their heads that voluntary ac-
tion gives the best results in a de-
mocracy.
Labor is ready to support whatever
is necessary to win the war But it
thinks there is too much dictatorship
and too little democracy in recent "di-
receives" of government agencies and
that the administration can do better
job with the consent and enthusiastic
cooperation of the governed. And to
date, it has seen no proof that com
pulsion is needed.

n N urgent plea for the sending OF
IA help to China in the form of
1000 airplanes, to knock Japan out of
the war now, is made by "Contempo-
rary China" published by the Chinese
News Service, Inc, New York. The
situation which gives force to the
plea is:
The Japanese have apparently
started a major all-out offensive on
the Asiatic mainland with view of
defeating China in the next six months
or so. While the American and British
forces are on the defensive in Aus
tralia and India, it seems to the Jap
anese a golden opportunity to liqui-
date the fve-year-old China "inci-
dent"
Japan may never have more ap-
propriate season to launch an all-out
attack on China than the present when
the Allies are not yet fully prepared
for a major offensive in the Far East.
If China is not to be knocked out first,
she will become a springboard for the
final onslaught against Japan.
From China's point of view the next
few months are the most critical pc
riod in the five-year-old war. The sit
uation is so grave that some people
fear that the very existence of China
as fighting ally and the entire posi-
ton of the United Nations in the Pa
cific are at stake.
Contemporary China" making {
compelling argument for offensive
thinking and action by the United
Nations at this time, says it is strongly
of the opinion that while the military
situation in China is very grave" i
may be transformed into one that viii
turn the tide of war in favor of the
Allies and spell the beginning of the
fall of the japanese Empire.

cation says, "can launch a counter
offensive against Japan right now, BY
