formed all that was claimed for it.
In an ad Beard published a notice
that he had obtained letters patent
from the U. S. for the improvement
on mould boards to plows. ! 1t was
explained that the improvements
consisted in the elevation of the
mould board up to the beam of the
plough and continued back, grad
ually rising towards the heel of the
plough until it somewhat more
flushed with the top of the beam"
1t was stated that the object he
sought for and for which by practi-
cal test by himself and others, he
had gained completely, was a
plough that will clean itself as it
moved along in the furrow, of all
distractions, such as weeds, tall
grass, briars, stubbles, ETC., prevent
ing choking, which is so very vex-
atious to the ploughman, and either
requires an additional hand or fire.

Questions and Answers
on the War Fund Drive

Question-How does the present
drive differ from the past drives?
Answer-O The present drive is
a joint drive Of the National War
FUND and the Community Chest,
and In the case Of organized firms
having the checkoff, Of the Red
Cross too. (2) Organized labor Is
participating much more actively
than ever before, on a representa-
tive basis.
Question-What labor organiza-
tons are participating in the drive?
Answer-All Of them. The United
Mine Workers Of America are rep
resented on the labor committee
for the drive by William ]. Morgan
and all the other labor organiza-
tions in the county are represented
directly or throughly the Labor
Unity Conference Committee. Harry
A. Porch Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men is chairman of this committee,
and c. E. Stutzman of Teamster
Local 453, AFL, is the vice-chair-
man.
QUESTIONABLE all organized
workers included in the labor Sec
ton of the drive? Answer-No, in
some firms where the unions have
members the collection is being
made by the company's representa-
tives. Conversely. the unions are
accepting responsibility for making
collections in some unorganized es-
Establishments. This arrangement is
solely for reasons OF convenience.
Question-Will funds collected
outside Cumberland be used for the
Cumberland Community Chest ?
Answer-No.
Question-Does labor's endorse
ment of the drive mean that il
endorses every agency covered by
the drive? Answer-Labor has sat
isfied itself that no rackets will
will benefit from the drive. AS to
the local organizations. labor takes
the position that while many fall
short of doing the job they should
and could do in the community, this
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1943-11-22

fact should not be allowed to in
terfere with the present drive. The
splendid work being done by the
USo and other organizations that
make part Of the National War
Fund is well known to all.
Question-Suppose my organiza-
ton does not wish to contribute to
one or another of the organizations
included in the present drive, what
then? Answer-Contributions may
be earmarked for any organization
and will then be used exclusively
for 1t.
Question-Is labor represented on
the Board Of Directors OF the Com
munity Chest? Answer-Two lead
ing unionists, C. e. Bramble of
Transfers Local 453, and r. G..
Beard of Rubber Workers Local 26,
are on the board, having been
chosen last year for two-year
term. For this years election, John
G. Thomas of Textile Workers Lo-
cal 1874 has been nominated. He
is endorsed for the position by his
local and by organized labor.
Question-What part OF the $685.
600 goal is labor undertaking to
raise? Answer-S10,0O0. Labor also
seeks to raise at this time 5000
for next springs Red Cross drive.
Question-Is this all to be paid in
at once? Answer-The plan is to
spread It as evenly as possible
through the coming 12-month Pc
riod.
Questionable this mean that
labor will not participate in next
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1943-11-22

springs Red Cross drive? Answer
Workers in organized plants which
have agreed to check off for the
present drive will have their Red
Cross contribution checked off
along with the contributions to the
National War Fund and Communi-
ty Chest. They will not be APP
preached again next spring for the
Red Cross. However many of them
undoubtedly work to put across the
Red Cross drive next spring in the
balance of the community, which is
not being approached by the Red
Cross at the present time. Work
ers In plants where the manage
ment has not agreed to check off
war fund contributions, such as the
Celanese, will be approached next
spring by the Red Cross as usual.
Their contributions this fall will
go to the National War Fund and
Community Chest exclusively.
Question-Will labor reach It's
goal of $4,000? Answered. all or
ganized workers agree to contrib
ute one hours pay a month, the ma
tional goal of the CLIO and AFL,
the goal will be reached easily.

British and Americans in the
Far East.
The amiable and sincere efforts
Of the United States Govern
ment to bring about settlement
Of the Indian problem have not
succeeded. We were told that
it was a matter concerning the
British exclusively and we had to
let it 60 at that.
British explanations as to why
the situation could not be rene
died at the present had to be
accepted at face value; they ap-
peared to be logical and, further
more, there was nothing we could
do after having been told, po-
litely and firmly, to keep out of
the empires business.
The mission of Ambassador
William Phillips to India was a
complete failure. The most
suave of the American diplo-
mats was treated with all the
consideration due a person of his
rank. He was dined and wined
and saw some of the Indian
leadersthough not Mohandas
Gandhi-but returned to WASH
ington empty handed.
Famine Alters Situation.
The administration decided to
let matters rest until after the
war, when the British are ex-
pected to reach an agreement
with the various factions in
India.
But the famine now sweeping
Bengal has placed an entirely
different light on the problem,
which is beginning to involve all
members of the United Nations.
The British, who are the trus-
tees of India. have allowed
through no fault Of their own-a
condition which has brought
about q famine in one of the
most important provinces of the
empire. That province, unfortu-
nately, happens to border on
Burma, where the japanese are
in control.
The Toxic government gave a
paper" independence to Burma
several weeks ago. We know that
the gesture does not mean the
independence OF those people any
more than the newly granted
independence Of the Philip
pines means freedom for the
Filipinos.

One thing seems sure. The
President, no doubt moved by the
realistic Byrnes Hopkins inf1u-
ence, is determined to ditch Mr..
Wallace in 1914 Mr.. Roose-
velt would have a hard job flying
over soree of the Southern States
in the 1914 election with Mr.. Wal
lace as his co-pilot. Mr.. Wallace
knows this, and hence his bitter
attacks upon Southern Demo-
Gratis" Insert the name of Mr..
Justice Byrnes, late of the Su-
preme Court, in the Wallace
speeches in place of Southern
Democrats" and you see Mr..
Wallace's meaning clearly.
Consider the recent Wallace at
tack upon the railroads. This is
not real attack upon railroad DIS.
1t is an attack upon the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and,
since the President has appointed
or reappointed every member of
the ICC. it is an attack upon
the administration as we'll.
Practically nothing that Mr.. Wal
lace charges could have happened
except with the agreement of the
ICC.
The additional Wallace crack
at the Western agreement" of
"35 railroads operating west of
the Mississippi gives the speech
a real Bryanesque-Populist flavor.

Citizens Group Seek,
Probe Of NCHA's
Request for Funds

A resolution calling for an investi-
cation Of the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority's request for a $780,
600, 900 appropriation for slum clear
ance and housing, to be directed by
the Housing and Rent Control Com
mittee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations was passed last night
by the Fort Davis Citizens Associa-
ton.
The group also discussed the Nc
Carran District franchise bill. and
the suggestion was offered that vot-
ing privileges be provided for per-
sons who live here and pay District
income and property taxes but who
retain national voting privileges in
a State.
The association also passed a res
olution asking the School Board to
draw up plans for the building of a
new high school next to the Randle
School, in the Randle Highlands
area. This. it was pointed out,
would relieve the congestion in the
Anacostia High School.
OPPOSITION was expressed by mem
bers to the right turn on the red
traffic signal at Branch and Penn
sylvanla avenues, which, it was said,
was endangering pedestrians.
The association passed on the
membership of Walter M. Dyer.
Miss Catherine Edmondson, a rep
resentative fro mthe Community

tinued cooperation and closed with
the reminder that in giving to the
War Fund you are giving to 145

A New Peerless Leader

Wall Street, "the headquarters
of its most powerful members"
Mr.. w. A. Hartman, recently ap-
pointed Ambassador to Russia,
was, according to the New York
Times, active in creating this
movement. And Mr.. Harriman's
most potent administration
friend is Harry Hopkins. So Mr..
Wallace is striking at Mr.. Hop
kins, when he talks about Wall
Street. This sounds strange, con-
sidering the early socialistic as
sociations of Mr.. Hopkins; but
times have changed.
What we really have, then, is
a left-Wing New Deal, whose
spokesman is Mr.. Wallace. at
tacking what many in the inner
circle of Washington regard as
the "appeasement" of business by
the President. The objective of
this rebellion is either to drive
the New Deal toward a position
very far to the left in 1914 or to
break away and create a radical
party whether the President runs
or not. For 10 years the leftists
have found it profitable to cajole
the President by threatening re-
volt. Generally. they have sue
ceeded because his political sense
tells him that he could not win
an election as a conservative
candidate.
In centering his attack upon
the railroads, Mr.. Wallace has
hit the President in his most con-
servative spot The Presidents
father was interested in rail-
roads; he was once a director OF
the D. & H. The President him.
self has been more sympathetic
toward the railroads than toward
any other industry.
Hence, Mr.. Wallace appears as
the savior of the left, reviving
all the old war cries of populism
to stir the farmers, wooing the
C1O and, in indirection, pointing
the finger of blame at those In
the administration who are luke
warm toward the great crusade.
This is a political maneuver few
expected from Mr.. Wallace. But
a Vice President has time on his
hands. And the radicals can
always find work for idle hands.

I'd Rather Be Rioht-

or three years? Shall we be forced
to spend $4,000 100000 a year on
Army and Navy, or can we get away
with $4,000 ,ooo, 900, or perhaps only
So, 3,567 ,957 900?
These are the questions which are
involved in the matter of our foreign
policy and not misty considerations
as to whether we ought, or ought
not, on ideal grounds, to help estab-
lish a world umpire, or whether we
ought. or ought not, to feed all
mankind.
We're in Business Now.
We have to think specifically, in
terms OF concrete cases. The right
kind of American relationship with
a strong China might save us
81, 600, ,0oo,00 year in maintaining
our security in the Pacific. The
right kind of alliances with Britain
and Russia might give us a one
year conscription period after the
war, or no conscription at all, in
stead Of two years of it for every
young American. We have to 20
into foreign policy as into a busi-
ness: it Is business, and we are
in it.
The isolationist view that the
rest of the world is in a conspiracy
to steal our food evades the whole
problem. Curiously enough, the
world police force idea also evades
the problem; it merely proposes an
economical way Of suppressing mis-
understandings at wholesale. instead
of solving them, one by one, coun-
try by country.
1t is going to take 20 years of
hard work, plus a blessed sense of
our ordinariness. to give us a foreign
policy. No gadget, loftily offered

ton that we are special, will keep

to answer its questions by proposing
device for spanking it the next
time it makes a disturbance is a
Itop-lofty and remote approach. II
is the sort Of thought that could
come only to comfortable man
seated by a good fire, with a fine
glass beside him.
The same p-loftiness shows up
on the isolationist side, harried by
it's fears lest the United States un-
dertake to set up a "world-Wide
WPA" A contemptuous attitude
toward the world Is revealed here
again; the rest of the planet is
considered to be almost without re-
sources and wholly without pride
Whereas world police force ad-
herents think Of it as world of
outlaws, isolationists think Of 1t
as a world of beggars.
Both approaches are exquisitely
self-centered; neither questions for
a moment that the United States
is the world center of order, morality
and peace; and also food, goods
weapons. We do have tendency
to view ourselves as kind of con-
tinental temple of justice, with a
huge mail order house wing added
But, come, we are not so big. Even
at this moment, when our food
exports were never higher, only 1C
per cent of the food floating on the
seaways Of the world is American
The remaining 80 per cent comes
from those very countries which
we fear, are inhabited by beggars
who cannot do for themselves and
who will be grateful for a fish cake
One Year or Two?
We have to realize that we are
just another country, not a spe-
cially immune or privileged OF
exempt country. The price we are
paying. right now, for having
dreamed about ourselves for 2(
years as special country, dwelling
in a special place, equipped with
special immunities, is the lives oi
the men we are losing. the tearing
apart of 10000 900 families, and the
$3.50 900 900. 900 we are spending on
the war.
We shall begin to have a foreign
policy only when we realize, down
in our bellies, that we are Just one
Of the countries of the world-a big
one, fine one, but not a spectacu-
larly different one. Then we can
begin to trade, and trade hard, for
place and rights among the other
countries. and a chance to live.
Then the questions which our
foreign policy can resolve will be-
come sharp and definite: Shall we
need military conscription after the
war? Shall it be one year of con-
scription for our youth, or two years,
