Sitous business of mObilizing all our

The Third Winter
By RUTH TAYLOR

"The third winter of the war" His
tory repeats itself. Just as before we
are in it, only Il few months earlier.
Those who remember % years ago
find a difference, however Today,
there is no sense of a glory in war, and
little personal hatred. UppermoSt is
an intense adherence of the evil
theology that glOrities brutality, that
feeds on hate, that condones any means
to achieve its despicable end to plunge
the world into what we know means
loss for all--victor and vanquished
alike. And in all and through all,
there is determination that when
peace comes, it must be based on JUS
tice toward all peoples of whatever
race, class, creed or color.
'rhe third winter of the war"
There are some among us who had
hoped it would bring peace of sorts
ii negotiated peace. But they fooled
themselves by wishful thinking. They
thought in terms of - years ago. They
overlooked the fact that the So-called
new order in Europe is not Il new
order, but new disorder. The Nazi
movement is not Il revolution, for revo-
lutions begin in an uprising of the peo-
pie. 1t is Il dictatorship imposed by Il
minority upon Il submissive majority.
And because it is Il dictatorship, Hit
ler and his cohorts must drive on and
on until they dash themselves over the
precipice which lies ut the end of the
road of aggression. They cannot pause
for peace for fear of diSinte@ration.
The third winter of the war" There
are those among us who unconSciouSly
play the Axis tune when we condemn
things which happened years ago, for
getting that progress in human rela-
tiOnS has been made over the centuries.
The trcachery displayed in the Jap
anese attack is but further witness of
the fact that Hitler and his allies
would prefer to turn the clock back to
other days and other standards. His
sadiStic treatment of those whom he
has conquered is eil'icient-but efficient
brutality of justice is still brutality. If
we We're To Judge or condone man by
the standards of justice we had two
hundred or hundred, or even fifty
years ago, we would be barbaric, for
justice is elastic and grows as men be-
come more civilized toward one an
other.
"The third winter of the war." And
il is our war now. Let us face it with
clear, far-sceing eyes and with high
courage. The decisions we will be
called upon to make will be grave, and
the sacrifices will be great-but, God
be thanked, in Il democracy ii is we
who decide, and all of us who sac
rafice.

Propaganda Must
Contdin Only Truth

New York City OLNS). - That
American propaganda must not follow
the Axis technique nor the methods
used by the Allies in the first World
War is the belief of outstanding mold
erS of public opinion participating III
the Round Table on "What is Wrong
with American Propaganda in the
"American propaganda today must
present dramatically the complete and
objective truth-defeats rs well as vic
torieS-and stress the democratic plan
opinion of these publiciSts, among
whom are DR.. Frank Kingdom, Fred
erick l.. Allen, Bruce Bliven, Emmett
Corrigan, Freda Kirchwey, Lewis
Mumford, Arthur Upham Pope, and
DE- Atwood Townsend.
There is no danger of war hyStcria,
they believe; but there is danger of Il
lack of popular enthusiasm due TO in
sufficient participation of the people III
this war. American groups of foreign
extraction must DE COlNlllccu Oh our
absolute determination to help and to
free their countries of origin as well
as to offer them the benefits of democ-
racy here.
They believe, too, that experts in
various fields, especially in the field of
social science, must be more extensive
ly utilized than they have been up to
now; and that refugees from all coun-
tries, who are known for their demo
cratic principles, must be invited to
participate much more actively in the
propaganda effort, and that prOpagan-
da emphasizing democratic peace aims
is of decisive Importance in mobilizing
American public opinion and in win

Mystery Bad For Morale

In an address which was-with one

MANY listeners thought it shouldn't

ward, patriotic, serious and altogether
mastery study of the grave situation
in which America finds itself, Presi-
dent Roosevelt appealed to the people
to have full trust in the Government,
and promised that in return the Gov
ernment would trust the people.
Certainly, Government and people
must be honest and fair toward each
other if we are to obtain the 100 per
cent loyalty and all-out spirit neceS.
sary for the winning of this war.
Secrecy is sometimes a military
necessity, but even that kind of
secrecy is hurtful to national morale.
Before it is practiced somebody should
carefully weigh the pros and cons and
decide which would be the more harm
full to give us the ruth and perhaps
give the enemy useful information in
so doing, or to withhold the truth from
us and aid the enemy indirectly by
breeding fantastic rumOrS that lower

GOOD CARE FOR YOUR WASHING
MACHINE

Since the washing machine industry
is on the list for conversion to war pro-
duction, you'll have to give your ma
chine extra care to get the most in
service from it,
Here are some tips to help you:
1. Too large washing load over
taxes the motor: too long a washing
period wastes energy. Follow the
manufacturers directions for the size
of load and the most efficient washing
period.
.. Keep the washer clean. Rinse
carefully after each use. Dry the tub
if it's metal Keep a little clean water
in a wooden tub between usings.
3. Always release the pressure on
the rolls of the wringer when you've
finished using it. Wipe the rolls with
Il damp cloth after each use. If they re
then with soapy water Immediately
rinse and dry. To avoid damage to
the rolls, be sure you don't stall or
strain the rolls by putting too much
clothing through them at one time
fold buttons and buckles to the inside
of clothes before they 90 through the
wringer rolls.
4. Follow the manufacturer direc-
tionS for Oiling the motor, gears or any
other parts. Be careful not to use too
much oil.
:. Don't start the motor with
washer or wringer in gear.

War Labor Bodrd
Backs AFL Union
Rejects CIO Attempt To Sus-
pend Closed Shop
Contract

Washington, ID. C.-The National
., rejected CIO demand for tenn
porary suspension of closed-shop
provision in an AFL contract covering
$500 workers of the Los Angeles Rail
way Corporation and the Los Angeles
Motor Coach Company
The aiOrity of the War Labor
Board declared that the agreement be-
tween the companies and the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and Elec-
tric Railway Employees (AFL) was
voluntary, had been sustained as valid
by the Superior Court of California
and, therefore, the board could not in
terfere.

Thomas and Clinton Golden, CIO Off

opinion.
The board majority refused the re-
quest of the CLOS Transport Workers
Union of America for a board election
among the company's employees and
said that while the CIO had a legal
right to further appeals cOntesting
validity of the closed-ShOp agree
ment, the dissenting union should abide
now by the ruling of the California
court. Mr.. Morse said that ut GER

zone of the characteristics of a
Closedshop contract the decision
said, lis that it renders it very diff
cult for Il rival union, such as the ClO
in this case, to gain control of collec-
tive bargaining rights in the industry.
| That is one of the chief reasons why
both the CIO and the AIL are deSirouS
of obtaining Il closed-shop contract
whenever they can secure one. How
ever when one union, such as the AfL
in this case, secures Il cloSed-shop CON
| tract, and when Il court DEGREES that
| that particular contract is Il valid con-
tract, such as the Superior Court has

be deemed controlling in the prem
ises.'
For the board to decide otherwise,
Mr.. Morse added, would result lin the
encouragement of jurisdictional union

Negro Workers Refuse
To Break Hotel Strike

Chicago GLNS). - A number OF
Negro workers refused to walk through
a picket line established by striking
employees at the Belden- Stratford
Hotel, the Workers Defense League
says.
The management of the struck hotel
attempted to replace colOred and
white staff, which asked for an II per
cent wage increase. Under the preteNt
of wanting to change to all-colored
help, and without mentioning the
strike the company called the Illinois
State Employment Service for - Ne
gro workers. The hotel offered the
same wage which had been turned
down as Inadequate by the strikers.
\ few workers who had been I'M
aware of the strike, notified the Work
erS' Defense League secretary of their
intention to quit. There had been no
picket line at the time they had OBJ
tanned the job. The strikers had been
arrested by the Chicago police.
Upon discovering the deception of
the Lott Hotels Company, the State
Employment Service refused to send
more men to the job. An investigation
was also ordered by the Employment
Service, after a protest was made by
Mike Lee, senior business agent of
Local 533, Hotel and Restaurant En-
poyeS' International Union, AFL. and
Milton Kramer, Midwest Workers De
fenSe League secretary.

The January traffic toll was 30

This increase came despite curtail-

by public opinion polls that travel has
