eight mile a minute downward

And they re cd to devote
their major attic IN, when con-
ditions permitted. TO the Jap
bombers, who constituted the prize
prey because of their greater
value, their large crews, and the
fact that their deadly cargoes held
the really serious menace to
Rangoon.
1t had been a little like the old
pre-game powwow of their basket
ball and football days back home.
But here in the red dawn of
Burma the stakes were not field
goals and touchdowns, but life
and death.
UP LIKE THUNDER
They went out on the apron to
watch the sun rise, one OF them
recalling Rudyard Kipling's twisted
geography which had it coming
up like thunder outer China
'crost the Bay" The sun rose as
usual and. despite Kipling, over
the dripping jungle to the east.
One of the ground crew came
from the radio room with the
information that Radio Toxic was
on the air, claiming overwhelming
victories near Manila and gloating
over the destruction of American
aerial resistance throughout the
Philippines.
A little later the Toxic an
nouncer sardonically reminded
Rangoon that il could expect a
bundle of Christmas presents
shortly.
An hour dragged on. Two hours.
They waited, as the suns mount
ing heat picked up the dew in
preparation for Burma's daily
steam bath.
CHRISTMAS DINNER
They thought of home, home on
Christmas morning. They were
homesick, and admitted il.
Christmas dinner? They spec
ulated on what they would have
had in the States.
They knew too well what they
would have in Burma. Perhaps a
can OF corned beef. Perhaps moth
ing at all. Perhaps? They didn't
say it. but they knew IL might well
be a mouthful OF blood and dust.
AS 9 o'clock came and went
without an alarm. Olson. express
ing lack OF confidence in the
British warning system, sent three
OF the Tigers aloft for reconnais-
Sance.
At $50 one OF them, George
Mcmillan flashed the word that a
huge Jap bomber force was on
the way so miles out. In the
same minute the British sounded
the alarm.
Olson dispatched three Tigers
TO reinforce Mcmillan and his
flight, and another formation of
seven 10 follow Immediately.
The boys ran for their ships

Farther out, the Tigers were
paying all their attention to the
bombers, too. and the Jap fighters
evidently had no instruction or in
3piration as TO how to proceed
against such unorthodox procedure.
So they remained above the
main battle.
NowSand then one Of them would

saw the Tigers on the alert al
Mingaladon, eager for a crack al
the Jap after what they conceived
TO be their failure on the twenty
third.
They had spent the night re-
viewing that battle and their mis-
takes Of tactic and judgment.
They agreed that they had
underestimate the agility OF the
Jap pursuits, which in a chase
could turn inside of them and
gain the advantage in a twinkling
They must, therefore, extend
their power dives considerably in
distance, using their superior
speed to elude the Jap fighters
and then circling and climbing at
top speed until they regained the

DRESSED from the hearts of full
i ripened corn kernels, Mazda
is America S finest vegetable oil.
1t contains no animal fat, no air
or water. Mazda is all food value.
For all flying, Mazda heats quickly with
out smoking or suffering. 1t sears over
foods, seals in their rich natural juices.
After frying, strain Mazda and use it
again.
For shortening, in cakes, pie crust, bis
cults, Mazda is exceptional. AS liquid
shortening, it is ready to use, needs no
melting, and yOu can measure it dccu-
rdtely. In most recipes you can use I to
Ii less Mazda than solid shortcomings -
which saves bothration points andmoney.
For all soIods, Mazda makes delicious
fresh dressings, adding both flavor and
food value. Mazda is pure vegetable
oil and blends well with all other salad
ingredients. That's why Mazda dress
ings always taste better, and, of course,
they cost less.

Wants More Circulation
&C James f. Byrnes,
Sterilization Director.

Dear Sir:
Members of Local II should be
proud of their fine newspaper.
have been around the country
and lot but have never seen a
young paper come to the front
as rapidly as this one.
These are days when organized
labor needs a strong press to de-
fend it from the ones who would
destroy labor if they could.
Papers like yours will help hold
off labor's would-be destroyers
until labor can once more re-
gain the position which it gave
up when the war started.
One thing 1 think should be
done with your paper and that
is to circulate it widely. sug-
gest circulation drive, because
a paper carrying news which is
of interest to all the people de-
serves better distribution in
city the size of Toledo than the
10000 which you claim.
Fraternally yours,
A. L. Swartz.

this necessary step, the only alternative we have
is to ask that the Little Steel formula be junked
and the workers wages be advanced to meet the
increased costs of food.
We recognize that the inflationary process has
been allowed to get good start and that it must
not only be checked, but repused. We who work
for living also recognize that it is the workers
who will suffer the most should the nfl . mary
trend continue unchecked; for those who now have
money will still be able to manage.
WAGES AND INITIATION
Seeking higher wages is not the answer to the
failure of the Office of Price Administration to
hold the price ceilings down, in fact, higher wages
is an open invitation to increase the inflationary
trend, for the employer who is forced to pay the
higher wages adds it to his price and passes it on
to the consumer. Hence the spiral continues up
ward and is difficult to control once it has good
start
For this reason, it is my belief that we are
not attacking our problem at the proper place
when we seek increased wages; but are hitting it
properly when we seek to hold prices down, or,
as the International UAW is trying to accomplish,
actually cut prices to the September 1912 level.
Many of us confuse total wages with real
wages that is, the amount of commodities and
services which our dollars will purchase for
us less commodities than when prices were low 4
and wages were less Real wages means the act ~
amount of commodities our money will buy. Pet%
sonally, believe we are thinking properly when,
instead of fighting for more money, we fight to
stabilize prices and wages and then seek to remedy
inequalities which exist once stabilization has been
accomplished.
YOU CAN HELP
Since this is your fight, you can help the
international officers in their efforts by writing
letters to James Byrnes, Director of Economic
Sterilization, President Roosevelt and the Office
of Price, Administration. Tell them it is your
desire that the prices be rolled back to the Sept.
10, 1912 level, because the price structure has
surpassed the bounds of the Little Steel Is per-
cent formula, and the Presidents freezing order
prevents economic justice frorp being done the
workers.
Initiation can and must be stopped and it is
up to the workers we'll as their leadership to
demand it.

CONGRESS Is Angry

News from Washington informs us
that Congress is angry because of an ad-
ministration proposal to subsidize retail
food cuts.
Perhaps congress was angry when IL
passed the Hobbs anti-racketeerlng bill.
Maybe congress was angry when it re-
pealed the Presidents executive order I'M
iting net incomes to $4,000 annually.
No doubt congress was angry when 1t
sought to prevent subsidzing the small
farmers because of its devotion to the farm
block and its efforts to hold up the price
structure of food by fostering limited pro-
ductiOn.
But congress was not angry when the
President issued his hold the line" eXecu-
tive order freezing wages and Inequalities.
Nor was congress angry when Man.
power Commissioner Paul McNutt froze
men to their jobs.
Neither was congress angry when the
Office of Price Administration permitted
prices to continue TO increase after wages
had been frozen.
But let the administration seek to give
the workers economic justice by rolling
back prices, or substituting price rOllbacks
which would cause a hardship in few isO-
lated cases, and congress is angry with
the administration.
Obviously, it makes a great deal of
difference to congress who benefits by the
actions of the administration, ample proof
that this is not the peoples congress but
the congress of the big interests and one
of the greatest obstacles TO the morale of
the people.
Truly, the one who said that the war
could be won or lost in Washington by
congress knew more than we realized
when we first heard it, for congress seems
bent upon destroying every action which
would give the workers decent chance,
but goes out of its way to favor those who
definitely need no fayoritsm shown them.
All too clearly we can now see that the
real fight of the workers is along the lines
indicated by the international JAW eX-
ecutive board. The fight of the workers
is to force the roll back of the prices to
that of September, 1912, or request the
President to remove the unfair order which
freezes only wages while permitting COM
modify prices to roam unchecked up the
ladder which leads to vicious and dan
gerOus initiation for which the workers
will pay most dearly.

Union 1t is therefore necessary that the rank and
file workers elect their best people to this impor-
tant office, and equally important for the steward
once chosen to acquaint himself with the nature
of his duties in order to do the best possible work
for his fellow workers.
STEWARDS DUTIES
Stewards duties are many and varied and be-
cause of the large number OF problems which they
meet with in the course of their days work, it is
to their own and their fellow workers interest that
they keep themselves informed about the various
things which they are constantly being called upon
to deal with.
Perhaps one of the best ways for stewards to
educate themselves into becoming efficient and
satisfactory servants of their men, and they should
regard themselves in this light, is to faithfully
attend their organization meetings, well
their shop steward and Local IL stewards meet
ngs.
In the free discussion of the problems .of their
fellow workers, they will be able to keep them
selves informed of the problems which their fell
low stewards meet with, and the various solutions
to these problems They will get to know and un-
derstand their shop contract and its various in
terpretations, as well as the constitution of the
Union both Local and International
REQUIRES STUDY
In order to do the best possible job for their
men and carry the duties of their work in
completely democratic manner, stewards must
study and try and make themselves highly effec-
tive instruments in dealing with the various protf
lens of their various departments pr
Only in democratic Union like ours will yous
find the shop steward system so well developed,
and we are proud that it is most effective
means of maintaining truly democratic organi-
zation.

Peace Forum

TOledO's Peace Forum, one of the first
established in the country, met last Satur-
day in the DOermann Theatre at Toledo
University.
Discussions were keynOted by Under
Secretary Of State Wees who made the
revolutionary statement that il wasn't too
soon to talk about peace.
Each panel, and there were seven of
them, went into a separate room to hold
separate meetings. Labor went into the
basement in Room |.
Without entering into the merits of the
Peace Forum, il must be obvious that the
first meeting was not satisfactory from
the standpoint of labor AS an illustration,
the labor panel went into the basement
where the CIO talked and the AFL listened
and then the process was reversed with
each agreeing with the other.
While this was going on, panel on
employment versus unemployment in the
post war period was being held in another
part of the building, not the basement,
where Earle Smith, president of the To-
ledO Porcelain Enamel Co.; Hubert ID. Ben
nett, president of the Toledo Scale Co.;
Charles DeBrul, personnel manager of Gen
aSh Motors Corp, and Edward BOdette,
manager of the United States Employment
Service, discussed the question. Labor was
not represented.
Perhaps as more discussions are held,
and 1t IS hoped more win be scheduled, the
problems of the post war world will be con-
sidered as a complete picture, rather than
an isolated series of special groups each
one seeking to gain all it can while giving
lip service to peace.
We do not find any particular fault with
this first meeting of the Toledo Peace
Forum; but we do believe that in future
meetings labor should be given position
which its Importance merits, and above all,
that it not be placed in some remote sec
ton of building which requires the serv-
ices of guide to locate.
