What May We
Hufe?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There are some people today who
are saying that what is lacking in this
war is "A good hate-that until we be
gin TO hate, we won't begin TO fight.
They want our propaganda keyed to
a. horror theme, 50 that our people
will be mad with rage They forget
that mass hatred is just a step from
mob hatred-and that no one can pre-
dict on whom the mob will turn next.
But if we cannot hate a people
what may we hate?
We may hate war. We may hate
war 50 much that we will fight with
everw ounce Of our ability to wipe it
from the earth fOreyer-not in ser
vile pacifistic withdrawal from the
fight, but in "A supreme battle against
those criminals who bring deSolation
and destruction upon the peaceful
peoples Of the world. We may hate
war 50 much that we will gladly put
aside our way of life for a while 80
that we may speedily put an end to
war
We may hate Intolerance. We may
hate intolerance 50 intensely that we
will try to stamp it out wherever It

Ability Of Women
Workers Must Match Job

New York City QLNS).-Charlotte
Carr, Assistant to the Deputy Chair
man of the War Manpower Commits
sion, in an address here stated that
the ''transition from manpower to
WOmanpower on the war production
front is not female problem but an
employment problem-a process of ad-
justing millions of new workers to new
jobs
Speaking before the Academy of
Political Science at Columbia Univer-
sity, Miss Carr said that in making
this transition, women workers, indus
try, and the Government face essen
tally the same difficulties that would
arise if millions of green men workers
were to be absorbed hurriedly into ex-
panding industries.
''TO get the most out of this green
hand" Miss Carr said ''he-in this
case she - must first be directed to
work which matches her abilities, and
second must be employed under condi-
tionS which make for top efficiency.
In the old days we would have called
this placement and personal manage
ment problem. Today we call it
womanpower mobilization"

Department says.

war job of caring for your children at
home, maybe you can give some of

Every community in the country
needs some kind of help in getting a
wartime protection or service for chill

talents for that may be just what's
needed.
If you are Il mother who must earn
money away from home, get the best
possible substitute YOU can find for the

YOU can't find or can't afford someone
to come into your home, use every
help your community provides for chill
dren. If you don't know what they are,
your local defense council will be glad
to give you suggestions.
Last but not least, especially watch
over your older boys and girls, who
are having to grow up so fast. They
may need to be guarded against over
taxing their strength. They may want
your aid in finding ways of helping
that will make them feel important in
your grownup world. Above all, they
deserve the kind of advice that under
standing friends give to each other.
You see how biz job you fathers
and mothers have in your hands right

priority rating. There are no uniforms
to wear to distinguish this public sery-
ice No medals will come to YOU if you
do well. But the bearing and grace
of your child as he lives his days
bravely and with fine spirit will be

First Labor Class
AtHurvurd Endinq
Union Officials Studying To
Be Better Labor Leaders
Graduate This Month

Cambridge, Mass.-Harvard Univer-
Sity graduates it's first class of labor
leaders this month, new milestone
in its long history, with both the labor
men and their professors expressing
the hope that the experiment will find
favor with unions and universities
throughout the country.
Fourteen representatives from the
American Federation of Labor and the
Congress of Industrial Organizations
came to Harvard last Fall on scholar
ships designed to return them to their
unions as better labor leaders,"
They came from Iowa, Ohio, New
York, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Penn
sylvania and Washington, D. c.; they
represented unions of garment, hosiery
hat, cap, millinery, radio, machine,
electrical, woolen and worsted workers,
painters. GLACIERS and railway clerks
They ate, lived and studied on equal
terms at the worlds richest university
with ''the boss son." and from him
as one union fellow put it-got "an in
sight into how papa's mind works."
When Harvard invited the unions
to join the experiment, it stipulated
that the unions should select the men
to be trained and asked that selections
be based upon general intelligence,
capacity for leadership and devotion to
the labor movement" rather than past
schooling. The result was a group of
men whose educational backgrounds
ranged from leaving school at the age
of II to Masters degree in law.
The average age was 2712, the Oldest
was 80. All but one were married.
Harvard paid half the tuition fee, with
the other half coming from the indi~
vidual unions. In varying amounts the
unions also subsidized the living costs
of their representatives.
All of the labor fellows said, how
ever, that they had made personal
financial sacrifices. In some cases the
wives went to work to support their
husbands through school
The professors noted that the labor
mems scholastic records compared
favorably with those of the bosses
sons.
The labor fellows took three prin-
cipal COURSES Economic Analysis, -
Trade Union Problems and Policies
and Human Problems of Administra-
ton" They participated also in a
seminar on "The Economics of Collec-
tive Bargaining" took six weeks of a
course on management Controls, V
carried Il hefty burden of outside read
ing and prepared a research thesis on
Il topic of interest to the individual
and his union.
Weekly dinners and roundtable dis
cussionS were held with top peg lead
ers from the industrial, business, edu-
cational and labor world.
Professor Sumner Slichter of the
Harvard Business School, Il Wisconsin
liberal who has taken an interest III
labor problems and was a moving
force in setting up the Harvard labor
fellowship plan, said there are al
least 100000 trade union adminiStra
tive officers in the United States and
the better trained these executives are
the better it will be for both labor and
management. IF our experiment
proves to be success" he added, ''it
will mark the beginning of an im
porrant new development in American
university education.'
