5000 Civilian Workers Aid
Army in Building Alaskan Road

More than 5000 civilian workers
were moved into Canada and Alas
ka to aid the Army in construction
of the Alcan road. Commissioner
Thomas H. Macdonald of the Pub
lie Road Administration said yes
terday.
Mr.. Macdonald, who has returned
here after month of inspecting
and directing some of the work on
the road, reported that the civilian
force was the largest ever put to
work on single highway job.
The roads agency began as
sembling the civilian crew March 6,
at the request of the Army. The
PRA agreed to make surveys for
the highway, prepare plans, award
contracts and otherwise supervise
construction.
There were 50 construction COM
panies drawn into the job. The
trail and highway building equip
ment of these companies, as well
as hundreds of tractors, power
shovels, portable repair shops and
electric plants from Civilian Con-
servation Corps camps, were moved
into the wilderness.
Workers and equipment were
transported by rail, water and
air, Mr.. Macdonald said. It was
originally intended to build a tenn
porary trail, to be followed by
construction of a permanent road
over or near the same trail. But
that plan was revised so that the

Wake Up, America!
Is the Maintenance Of Social Coins
Weakening the War Effort?
As Debated BY
%DR. HENRY PRATT FAIRcHn

DIR. HENRY PRATT FAIRCHuD,
Prominent Economist and Social Scientist
Chairman, Department Of Sociology, Grad
uate School Of New York University.
DR.. Fairchild Opens: Underlying
this whole controversy is the
fundamental fallacy that social
gains are achieved at the expense
OF production. Ever since the be-
ginning of the factory system in
England this notion has been used,
sincerely or dishonesty, to oppose
every improvement In the condi-
tions of the working classes.
Business has insisted that 1t could
not survive them, whether they took
the form Of prohibiting the labor Of
8 and 8 year old children II and Il
hours a day. Of the compulsory in
stallation Of air brakes and auto
matte coupling on railroads, or the
legal protection OF working women.
The facts Of industrial history, on
the contrary, prove that these gains
have been accompanied not only by
an unprecedented expansion, in total
output, but also by an increase In
individual productivity.
All informed observers agree that
the enormous industrial achieve
ments Of the past year are due at
least as much to labor as to man.
agement or finance. Who can be-
lieve that these workers would be
still more devoted and efficient If
they were deprived of their sense
of social security and were haunted
by the fear of unemployment and
OF poverty in old age?
Mr.. Menjou Challenges: DR..
Fairchild's contentious are true but
irrelevant. AS union founder
and member I heartily endorse Ia
bor's rights. But rights involve re-
sponsibilities. and for victory we
simply must have more production.
We can't get any more machines.
We are actually losing industrial
manpower. Most Of labor is doing
splendidly.
But on modern production line
a handful of shirkers can hold up
an entire plant. Grievances can be
settled without work stoppages, con-
ferences or any other weasel-word
for strike
If labor exploits its peacetime
rights in wartime 1t runs a grave
risk Of losing them completely.
DR.. Fairchild Replies: agree with
Mr.. Menjou that we must win this
war and that we shall need every
ounce of manpower we have to do It,
But manpower is not a constant
flow that you can turn on and OH
like an electric current.
Our social gains represent CEN
tury of effort to mobilize manpower

Mr.. Menjou Opens: have seer

and the terrible urgency of oul
danger has led me to step out o1
role and speak as a critic Of the
war effort. Americas danger is $50
cial gains as usual"
When war was short Of war
President Roosevelt told the people
they could have both guns and
butter. As a result, the majority OF
the people still believe they can
The abundant life is still more i'm
portant to the average American
than an abundance Of weapons and
fighting men.
America has not gone soft. We
would still prefer to die on our feet
rather than live on our knees. But
our actions don't show it, simply
because we do not realize the ter
fible peril Of this war.
We can follow either France OF
England. France carried on social
gains as usual" and is now In chains
England substituted blood, sweat
and tears" for social gains and won
the battle of Britain.
The answer lies with the Presi-
dent. BY declaring moratorium
on all special interest activities,
MANAGEMENT, labor and agricultural,
by making everything secondary to
victory, Mr.. Roosevelt can unity
and galvanize America into the
greatest home-front fighting force
in the world.
DR.. Fairchild Challenges: Mr.
Menjou has been peculiarly un-
happy in his choice Of countries to
prove his point. England has for
decades been one of the most ad-
vanced countries in the world in
social gains, and far from relin-
gushing them as condition OF
winning the war she has extended
and fortified them. Witness Sir Will
liam Beveridge's recent proposal for
guaranteeing q minimum income to
all members Of society.
Consequently, when the English
people felt themselves misled by
those in power, they had sufhcient
faith in their country to fight. But
In France the gestures in the way
Of social gains had been too feeble
to counteract the betrayal by the
leaders.
Mr.. Menjou Replies: English la
Dor accepted its responsibility to
Britain. After the Dunkerque disas-
ter workers literally slept and ate
next to their machines.
In France, however, when Hitler
smashed through the Maginot Line,
French labor was still on a 40-hour
week with two hours for lunch.
France was betrayed by dema-
eogues telling the people they could
maintain social gains without los
ing the war. No one wants labor
to give up its rights-but merely to
do an honest days work every work.

Authorities agree that from 20 t2
80 per cent more production could
be had without single hour Of
additional work. Strikes, stoppages,
slowdowns and unnecessary alb
