WASHINGTON. - Allied trades
union leaders have struck squarsly
at one of the most fundamental
questions with regard to Germany
in their determination to oppose
enslavement of German labor to
rebuild devastated Russia after the
war.
Shall German labor be taken to
Russia to rebuild cities there, or
be left free in Germany to revive
the trades union movement?
Allied trades union leaders have
raised the issue Sir Walter Citrine,
dominant figure in tn British
Trades Union Congress, and Amer
lean trades union leaders, led by
William Green, Robert j. Watt,
and Matthew Vol, are working
closely together on this. They are
aided also by some French trades
unionists.
Recently Green broadcast to
Germany for owl saying that the
allied purpose was not to crush
and defeat the German people, but
to free them from their overlords.
This appeal drew thanks fir o m
Owl, but severe retaliation from
the Nazi propaganda radio.
1t is not merely psychological
warfare American Federation of
Labor spokesman regard it as a
vital policy. Their viewpoint is
that a strong labor movement in
Germany is the best protection
against Fascisr. They say that
the first move of the Nazis was
20 break up the German trades
unions. The Nazis have been NOR
ia, enemies of the trades union
lists who have fought the battle
for democracy and who must be
the hope of democracy in Ger
many after the war.
To permit such people to be
dragged off as slave labor into
Russia would violate what the al
lies are fighting for, say the labor
federation people. They e e it
would be a betrayal of democ-
racy's friends IN Germany, h e
kind of friends who in Norwa y
fought Quisling. Furthermore the
labor people do not believe that

Raymond Clapper Says:
Ho1u Shall German SLAVE
Labor Be Used In Peace

! slave labor would be an advantage
for Russia in the end. They are
willing that Nazis should be pun
ished without conscience, but not
trades unionists.
Russians have discussed the
idea. AS president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. William
Green, has called upon President
Roosevelt in his conferences with
leaders of the allied nations, to see
to it that all are agreed not to
Use slave labor out of Germany.
Green says the American FEEDER
alton of Labor will oppose with
ali of its power any attempt to
enslave the workers of Germany
or any other country.
His statement was issued before
any results were. published of the
conference which, according to the
British news agency, Reuters, has
Teen going on between Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stain.
And it is not such an academic
question for another reason. Some
veil informed persons here don't
give the Nazis more than three
months more. The Russian often
slve does not seem to be over by
any means, and the Raj is going
hack to Berlin.
At any time almost we may have
to begin dealing with a defeated
Germany. It will make all of the
difference in the world whether we
are going to follow the Russian
wish Ct conscripting German la
Dor as a form OF human repara-
tons, or protect the German work
ers, while they build up new trades
Unions and democratic institutions?
Are we going to be brutal or try
to rebuild free Germany?
While l see the force of what
the labor people say, on the other
hand, since Germany has given
us two world wars. it seems to
Inc that for period, at least, we
might let them pay for some of
it by rebuilding the damage. True.

Just how hard she is trlng is

Compromise Course Taken
By Senate on Parity Bills
Proposal to Include Labor Costs Blocked;
Prohibition of Benefit Deductions 0. K'd

B. hf Associated Press.
The Senate took a compromise
course in the battle over infla- =
ton controls today. 1t sent to
the White House one adminis-
tration opposed measure to boost
farmers income but returned to
committee another which would
increase parity price ceilings.
A coalition of administration
Democrats and Republicans split the
farm bloc wide open to halt consid-
Grafton of the House approved Pace
DILL which Price Administrator Prem
tiss M. Brown charged would boost
food prices 1912 per cent and add
81 333 100000 to the cost Of living.
This measure. requiring the in
cluSiOn of all farm labor costs in
calculating parity. was returned to
the Agriculture Committee for fur
ther study on an unexpected voice
vote and without vocal dissent. Chair
man Smith said the committee
would call farm leaders. and Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma
predicted the bill would be back on
the Senate floor in a week.
Without pause, the chamber took
up House e-revised measure, which
it had passed previously by an over
whelming vote in slightly different
form. and passed it. This bill which
goes now to President Roosevelt,
would prevent the deduction of ben-
eft payments made to farmers in
calculating parity price ceilings. a
change Mr.. Brown contended would
raise food prices 7 per cent and boost
