T,HE PRESENT objective of the American
= people is very clear-to achieve an
immediate total mobilization of the re-
sources of the United Nations on the basis
of firm unity for an early decisive de-
struction of the fascist enemy forces. The
question arises what means shall be
adopted to make certain that the full
energy of all our people will be directed
toward this end.
We must recognize that there are
few in our midst who. either through lack
of understanding or sinister motive sow
the seeds of disruption and disunity. These
persons often under the guise OF further
ing the war effort, create friction and dis
unity and Illustrate the desires of the
people.
II is the task of organized labor. so
keenly aware of the issues involved in this
life and death struggle. TO present a pro-
gram Of action to the American people
which will accomplish what they so
earnestly desire-immediate and decisive
victory.

!. United Motions Unity

just a year ago the United Nations was
forged as an instrument TO assure victory
against the fascist forces Just as national
unity is so essential for a total mobiliza-
ton within our nation. so il is equally
important that there be united action
among those nations dedicated 10 an alb
solute and utter defeat OF fascism. The
United Nations represents this under
taking.
The full strength of the United Nations
can be modified for offensive striking
power only on the basis of unified military
and economic action. This is the policy
of our nation. Under the lend-lease pro-
gram we have furnished essential military
assistance 10 the United Nations in our
common struggle against Hitler and the
Axis forces. We have also undertaken TO
provide food and other assistance to the
peoples of the re-occupied countries.
A small group Of appeasers and de-
featists seek to defeat the essential
keystone to our national policy. Fear

they snipe away at the lend-lease
program and the efforts of this ma
ton to supply necessary food and
other necessities of life to the peoples
OF the United Nations.
The CIO pledges its complete support
10 our Commander-in-Chief in his efforts
TO forge an indesiructibe United Nations
as the instrument for achieving Victory
and through their concerted action TO
assure the kind of peace that the peoples
of the world desire. We pledge our sup
port 10 all measures for the furnishing of
military and other supplies 10 the various
members of the United Nations so that
the fullest worldwide mobilization of eco
nomic and human resources can be
achieved in our offensive attack against
the fascist aggressorS.

vi. Dies Committee

In the past the activity OF the Dies
Committee has been viewed with appre-
henSion by organized labor as AN unprin-
ciped attack upon civil rights and as an
unprincipled utilization of Legislative in
vestigatory power for the achievement of
collateral political ends. During the past
year il has become increasingly evident
that the committees actions were far more
than that.
Prosecution Of enemy agents, the
barring OF the mails to seditiOus pub
LEGATIONS. and other actions of go, ern-
ment agencies during the year have
sharply indicated the extent which the
organizations whose line Dies has fol-
lowed the organizations which have
supported Dies, and the organizations
and individuals with whom Dies has
openly consOrted, have been direct
representatives of interests Of enemy
powers.
1t is inconceivable that there are in
Congress today any who would support
the continued expenditure Of federal funds
for the activities of a committee which
has so obviously abused its powers and
actually engaged in activities detrimental
10 our war program -.
The clio, therefore, believes that IL
has an obligation to our Victory Pro-
gram to seek to impress Congress with
the absolute need of rejecting any re-
quest for the continuance of the Dies
Committee.

Nv. 1o43 Tax Program

The CIO tax program seeks TO assure
all people that they will have sufficient
money 10 permit them TO buy the necessi-
ties OF life and maintain themselves and
their families on basis that will guaran-
lee maximum health and efficiency for
production. Under an overall system of
rationing wage earnerS should have suffi-
cent income TO guarantee that they will
be able TO buy the goods available under
their ration coupons and meet their obli-
cations. Toward this end we recommend:
A. Absolute opposition to any sales tax
which would he a blow against the war
program in that il merely takes away
money from those who can least afford
to pay.
H. Complete elimination of all war
profiteers. This can be done by increas-
ing all corporate taxes. increasing taxes
on middle and high income groups, and
imposing an effective war profits tax.
c. All unjust and special privileges
should he eliminated. This includes re-
curing married couples TO submit joint
returns. taxing present taX-exempt state
and local securities and increasing gift
and estate taxes.

FIVE POINTS
The following program must be put
into effect at once:
A. An immediate overall rationing of
all foods and other necessities This pro-
gram can and must be put into effect at
once.
ID. An effective enforcement Of
price ceilings. In many cases present
prices can be reduced by the OPA by
compelling prOfiteers to absorb i'm
creased costs and decrease the prices
ON certain foods and other necessities
with adequate protection for the In
terests OF the small businessmen.
c. A widespread introduction of repre-
sentatves of labor organizations in all
local and state bodies who have control
of price fixing and rationing in order 10
give the people a direct participation in
this program and 10 assure effective polio
ing and compliance.
DA sufficient appropriation for the
Office of Price Administration 10 permit
il 10 really tackle the questions of price
control and overall rationng.
f. The replacing of the complicated
present price ceiling which relates TO
March, 1912 with simple system of fixed
cash levels for all basic foods. This will
eliminate existing confusion and make
price evasion more difficult. This simple
system should be combined with stand
ardiza,ion of foods and other necessities.
