WHO'RE WE FIGHTING. ANYWAY

A ST. PAUL daily published pictures of soldiers
charging with fixed bayonets on soldiers posing
as trade unionists bearing picket signs. The War
Department excuses this action by saying pub
cation of the pictures was unauthorized; it was
a secret maneuver not intended to be made public
What labor and the American people are inter-
ested in is, what, then, was the purpose Of the
affair? Are American soldiers being trained to
ATTACK American citizens? And why?"
Of course, our soldiers must have training to
fit them for combat duty against the enemy. But
the enemy is not Workmen picketng nonunon
establishments. Or is he? Do our military ex-
perts believe their greatest concern is to subdue
the army of American workmen? DO they now, as
they did in the last war, believe the American
workman must be pushed back in his proper
place"
If publication of these pictures was "unau-
thorized" perhaps the action they recorded also
was unauthorized. Perhaps that action was ILL
advised. Perhaps a lot of things. Perhaps, even,
our military experts do not yet know the purpose
for which we are arming millions of men. Per-
haps they have forgotten Pearl Harbor
Well, the American people have not forgotten
Pearl Harbor They have not forgotten the part
the Jap rats played in that incident nor the part
our military experts did not play on Dec. 7, 1941

A SAFE AND SOUND INVESTMENT FOR
LOCAL UNION FUNDS

IF ADOLPH HITLER or the Japs could ever get
foothold in this country they would do as
they have done in other conquered countries They
would take everything in sight, including you and
your family
The way to assure yourself that these two
Savages are kept where they belong is to see that
our government has plenty of cash to supply our
fighting men with munitions and weapons to
slaughter the enemy quickly as possible. There
lis no other or easy way to do it.
The Treasury Department has started a
second war bond campaign and S13,OOO0OO,Oo0
must be raised by bond selling. Every one OF
these billions must come from the people, and the
vast majority of our people are working people.
Rickenbacker's hate campaign and other anti
labor campaigns have begun to die of their own
weight They are collapsing because when
thoughtful people began to listen to them and to
think and read about their subjects they found
them false, and they also found that American
working people-both union and nonunion-
been doing a wonderful job of producing planes,
tanks, munitions and money.
And in this second bond drive working people
of America will do their part. Already many local
unions and members of unions have stepped up
their bond buying. More will fall into line and
when it's all over even our most rabid union hater
will admit that labor always does it's part.
What better investment can any group have
than in supporting our fighting forces? We call
upon Local Unions to carefully review their bond
buying program. Why have you purchased the
var DOHuS ClldC you now nOlQ IN your treasury !.
Did you do it as patriotic gesture or as an in
vestment?
There is no better or safer investment for the
funds of Local Unions than in War Bonds. Every
Local Union should take steps Immediately to put
their surplus funds into War Bonds. Why? These
funds will draw a guaranteed rate of interest.
They are the safest and soundest investment on
the market today. No other security has the
United States Government back of it. Your funds
will be as sound as the Government which is our
country - the United States of America.
Local Unions should buy War Bonds with
every cent of their funds which they do not need
for current operating expenses plus small re-
serve for contingencies. This means that the great
majority of Local Unions can invest most of their
funds in War Bonds. If every one of our Locals
Immediately buys War Bonds to the maximum of
their ability, many needed dollars will pour into
the Treasury of the United States which can be
used to buy guns, tanks, ammunition, Ships and
other essential equipment, for our soldiers sailors
and marines who are so gallantly fighting to pre-
serve the democratic way of life.
Such an investment will help assure the con-
tinuance of the freedom by which we survive as
organized worl1ingmen.
Put your funds into War Bonds today and
hasten Victory.

CAUTION ON PEACE PLANS

(From the Hartford, Conn.,, Courant)
The more responsible bodies that are
looking ahead of the peace are CON
tent to state their objectives in very
general terms. They realize how ut
terly impossible it is to foresee what
the situation will be when the war is
over. They are generally agreed that
after the Nazi military machine has
been completely destroyed, the next
step is to make sure that it is kept
in that state and that the forces of
fear, hate and revenge are held in
subiugation while order is being re-
stored throughout Europe.
Overemphasis at this time on peace,
accompanied with alluring blueprint
for the postwar world, may easily
create the impression that the end of
the war is just around the corner, and
cause Il relaxation of the efforts nee
essary to insure the triumph of our
arms
Plenty of blood, sweat, and tears,
unless all present signs fail, still lie
ahead.
