The War
Today
WjLkie Gives
New Emphasis
To I'd Front
By FREDERICK OECHSNER

nned Press Central EuroPeAn Manager
RENEWED EMPHASIS on
the issue Of a second front
over the weekend made 1t
more than ever a matter OF
public interest.
Wendell l.. WILKES state
ment in Moscow especially
brought the question into the
forum Of open discussion. lie
said:
Personally l am now con-
,inced We can best help by
establishing a real ond
front in Europe with Britain
at the earliest possible mo-
ment our military leaders will
approve. And perhaps some OF
them will need some public
prodding. Next summer might
be too late
The staten ent was ap-
plauded in London by quarters
which have been agitating for
an early second front and
which called upon the govern
ment to give an authoritative
answer on the question as
soon as possible.
In Berlin, Foreign Minister
Won Ribbentrop in a public
speech made the Axis official
attitude clear when he ridi-
culed the second-front threat,
saying: &
"a second, third or ump-
teenth front cannot arrest the
steadily progressing paralyz-
ing of Soviet Russia"
It is often Nazi tactics 10
deride that which they cannot
understand or which worries
them. The Germans definitely
are not laughing about a sec
ond front.
WILKES CHARACTER
IZATION of his opinion as
personal" cannot obscure the
fact that he is President
Roosevelt's representative on
this trip and that by common
practice whatever he says
must be considered to have
official approval.
His statement will have
been useful in showing Stain
and all the Russian people
that the United Nations want
to help them.
It also will have been useful
In keeping Hitler and Ribben-
trop guessing.
To say that Willkie COM
mitted the President TO moth
ing new does not minimize
recognition of the necessity
for a second front "at the
earliest possible moment our
military leaders will approve"
The two highest military
leaders who in the final analy-
sis viii decide the question Of
a second front will be Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill themselves.
NO ISSUE of vanity or
prestige, such as may have
urged Hitler to order the TAX
ing of Stains name city
against sounder advice, be-
clouds the issue here.
II is a matter Of hard
headed military and political
logic based on exhaustive data

Prime Minister Churchilrs
possession which cannot be
made public. There is peril in
haste, just as there is in de-
lay, in deciding it.
The one thing which Will

done, above all else, is 10 pre-

by July.
In a joint radio broadcast from
Washington, CLIO President Philip
Murray, ALL President William
Green, and Thomas c. Cashen,
Chairman of the Railway Labor
Executives Association, ANNOUNCE
ed that the "War Savings Program
has taken the offensive" The
quota drive calls for the largest
voluntary enrolment in history
as the War Savings Committees
in 5000 counties urge more than
50,00O,000 persons to place an
average of at least 10 per cent
of their incomes in War Savings
Bonds and Stamps as their regu-
lar pledge to victory in the war.
Serving on these committees are
1O8,O44 volunteers, including
thousands of representatives of
organized labor.
In announcing the quota drive,
beginning on May /, Secretary
Morgenthau declared, Every
American must do his part to help
our armed forces take the often
sive against the foe. Everyone's
job now is to save dollars to help
win the war;"
1T is our plan through the War
Bond Quota System to reach
every person in the United States
who receives an income of any
sort, and to reach him as quickly
as possible. He will be informed
of the urgent necessity Of placing
at least 10 per cent Of our entire
national income in War Savings
Bonds as the absolute minimum
amount required for our nations
survival" the Secretary said.
They're War Bonds now, and we
must all save for victory"

Women will be called upon to
work in war industries in which
demand for their services will be-
come heavier and heavier with

mated that 100000 American
workers would be engaged in war

are able to protect our own jobs
by insisting that painters-paint
and metal finishers-finish meta
and that foremen oversee the iot
and do not operate our jobs.
All these things have been fought
for and often times members OF
this small band of fighting Union
me have had to die in the fight
to make these things possible for
us.
And it isn't coincidence that a
small band of swivel-chair para
sites who did nothing to earn
the money, could vote themselves
a 12-million dollar bonus this year
out of the money actually earned
by General Motors workers. The
fact that this was possible can be
placed directly at the door of
these same u~nthinking fools who
refuse to put their shoulders to
the wheel and help this small
band of fighting Union men push
themselves into their proper place
in the scheme Of things, and de-
mand their rightful share of the
good things of life for themselves,
their children and their children's

In one short generation or
ganized Labor has done enough
for him that if there was nothing
else accomplished from now on
in the way of benefits, he should
get down on his knees every
night and thank God that there
has been in the world a small
band of real thinking working
men, who have CUTS enough to
fight for their place in the sun.
My father worked as a young
man at the blacksmith trade when
they didn't have power hammers,
bending fixtures, automatic saws
and drill presses; in those days
a man had to be a real man to
hold down that job. He worked
from six o'clock in the morning,
til six o'clock at night; twelve
hours a day for six days a week;
and received in wages a grand
total of $1,000. How would you
like that?
It isn't just a coincidence that to-
day we are working five eight
hours per day and receiving $4,000
or $4,000 pay, that we get time
and a half for Saturday, that we
get a vacation with pay, that we
have seniority protection, that we
are able to protect the jobs Of
the men fighting on the battle

Congratulations 60 to Magde-
line Butkus, Chairman of the
Egry Unit Keep EN- Smiling
Club, for the fine job she is do
ing. Magdeline has successfully
spread the word about the why's
and wherefores of this club to
keep the soldiers happy and
almost all the Egry girls have
responded to her message with
enthusiasm. Magdeline was one of
the girls who first thought of
forming a Keep En- Smiling"
club and has contributed a
great deal Of effort toward making
the club a success.
Credit goes to all Egry girls for

ing at all the Keep EN- Smiling
