But such opposition groups exist
and are increasingly active as
proved by the counter-propaganda

melted out by Nazl courts during
the last few weeks.
And the people IN Germany are

The Germans are war-weary
and are hungrily swallowing all
ruHleFs that hold out promise
OF peace and the end Of the Nazi
regime. This was admitted in a
recent Speech by the German
radios political expert, Hans
FritSche, who warned his CO.
patriots against the poisonous
propaganda dropped from Allied
airplaneS or broadcast by Allied
radio stations.
Some days ago, the Allies dis
closed 4 confidential circular let
ter, allegedly signed by Erich
Koch, gaulelter of East Prussia,
calling on Nazi officials to be on
their guard against army attempts
10 overthrow the tuehrer and
make peace with the Allies.
Despite the severe NaZl laws,
which forbid listening TO foreign
radio stations, this report spread
like prairie fire in Germany, and
forced t'TltSChe to deny IL.

Many Homeless

As winter is approaching, other
factors are contributing 10 the
increasing gloom on the German
home front. A few weeks ago
all clothing coupons were sus-
pended, and the despair of the
bombed out, homeless. clothing
less civilians is spreading 10 other
districts, where Germans still
lived comfortably - well-housed,
well-clothed and well-fed.
Allied prisoners of war return
ing from Germany bring back
tales of despair prevalent among
German women. Unlike the last
war, they are now forced TO work
long, hard hours in war factories
far away from their homes-inci-
dentally, another supreme letdoWn
Of Nazi theology, which always
claimed that the home was the
right place for women.
Many cases Of mental and phys
ical breakdoWns among German
women are being reported to Lon
don. AT least one family in three
have suffered casualties, and the
winter prospects are very bleak
with no extra clothes and no
heating, and so many refugees
down the few amenities
left TO them.

So much has been said regard
ing the Little Steel" formula
during the past six months that a
brief explanation of what it is
might be of interest. Shortly af-
ter its creation by the President
the War Labor board devised a
formula by which all requests for
wage increases coming before the
board might be settled. The for
mula became known as the Little
Steel" formula because it was first
used determining the amount Of
a wage increase to be granted to
the steel workers in 1912. The
Little Steel" formula provided
that no worker should receive an
hourly rate of pay greater than Is
percent above that which his par
ticular job called for in January,
1941. January 1871 was selected
because it appeared that living
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1943-12-09

costs and wages were in line at
that time. At the time the Little
Steel" formula was set up in the
fall of 1912, government figures
showed that the cost of living had
advanced II percent above Janu-
airy 1941. To maintain the same
proportion of income and cost of
living in the autumn of 1912 that
existed in January 1941, an in
crease Of II percent in wages
would have been necessary. The
board agreed upon Is percent
increase feeling that the other
two percent could be cared for by
government price control. The
Little Steel' formula appeared
to offer a simple means of set
Ting wage increase demands. Liv-
ing costs, however, in spite of all
efforts to hold them down, con-
tinued to advance. At the present
time they are % percent higher
than in January 1941, or 8 per-
cent above what they were when
the "Little Steel" formula was
set up. AS a result the steel work
ers are back for another increase.
If an increase of over Is percent
above the January 1871 wage is
granted any group it will mean
the scrapping of the Little Steer'
formula. This would mean that
it could no longer be used in COM
putting wage increases. This is
what the coal miners and the rail-
road workers are demanding be
done. In addition to this they
claim that the governments rec
ords on the cost of living are not
accurate and that living costs are
more than % percent above those
of January 1941.

Coal dealers the country over
are rationing their coal. Most

time enough then to think of fill

OUR EYES ARE NOT BLINDED

A mid-western state has a
school named after a beloved
former president and it has been
denounced as a hot bed Of Com
munistic teachings, defaming the
great man whose name it bears.
A report of the plan by which
the Communists expect to take
over the entire wealth and indus
try of this United States and to
name a permanent and sure die
tatorship, was allegedly revealed
by an instructor in the school.
This is not the first, nor will it
be the last time, that the word
Communism has been hurled at
teachers, administrators of gov
eminent, at the pulpit, lecture
platform. There is much to be
said for both sides. much thought
to be given all types of argu-
ment. Through it all we are not
ignorant of conditions, nor blind
nor dumb. We will not allow
ourselves to be enmeshed in any
system not agreeable and salts
factory to the majority. Nor shall
we become upset unduly by po-
1itical harangues that are more
personal TRADES than opinions of
level-headed, intelligent, conscien-
tous citizens. This nation will re-
main a democracy, for the major
ity will it so! There are those
who are fighting overseas right
this minute who will see to it that
those at home will keep the faith.
However, in our criticism and
public discussion we must not fail
our sons and ourselves by so dis
trusting and refusing to recognize
our allies, that we lead this ma
ton into paths of self-righteous
indignation and lose the conf
dence of the members of "our
team. Perhaps England's colon
ial policy does not appeal to us,
but we do not refuse to lend her
aid, accept her assistance, well
come her cooperation. We must
concentrate on the common en-
envy and gain a sure victory
through the mutual understand
ing with our allies. Then if we
find we have a powerful enemy
within our land who needs atten-
ton, we will then have our sons
safely back home to help us clean
house. Right?
