BACK THE ATTACK ON INITIATION

ITllE MOST important Of all sources for wal
financing is you. In the First War Loan you
piled up one and One-half billion dollars in wal
bond purchases. In the Second War Loan your
record was three and one-qualter billion dollars.
What is expected Of you in the current Third War
Loan? At least twice as much as your best pre-
VOuS effort.
Your personal objective must be at least one
$500 war bond in addition to what you buy regll-
laIIy through the payroll savings plan or other
meanS.
ScVen-eighths Of all our current swollen ma
tional income goes into the pocket Of workers
learning less than $4,000 year, If you hoard this
money OF spend it bidding against your neghbors
for things you can get along without, you will
bring disaster to your home great as a block
buster bombing raid.
II YOU do the right thing, and that means
backing up your boy in the fighting forces-you
will be helping to defeat inllation-at the same
time helping yourself to better your future pros
pcctS.

BAD SHOOTING

n EXAMPLE of blunderbusS shooting in legis-
lation was the vote of Congress to reduce the
appropriation for the Office Of War information
by its action, Congress- Inadvertently made it i'm
possible for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, L. S
Department Of Labor, to continue publication OF
its monthly strike Statistics Congress- aimed at
Elmer Davis OWL head but its shot scattered
widely, hitting the publication of strike figures
among other OWL activities.
1t is serious matter, with the country intent
on reducing strikes, to end the giving of informal
|tion showing whether strikes are increasing OF
decreasing. OF course information will be avail
able on disputes going to the L. S. Cancellation
Service and National War Labor Board. But that
is only part Of the story told by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in the monthly reports.
The country is entitled to know the truth
about other things vitally affecting national wei
fare and Congress would do well to take action
permitting publication Of monthly statistics or
labor StoppageS.

CALIFORNIA LABOR TAKES
LEAD. IN "VD" FIGHT

Washington, ID. c. ULNS). - The
American Federationist for August, in
an article by Percy ShoStac, expresses
hope that other state labor groups, and
also international and local unions
will follow the example of the Cali
fornia Federation of Labor in recon-,
mending blood tests for all future AFL
members
Entitled Labor Helps Fight VD,'
thearticle says the California state
federation executive board has made
history in the struggle for control OF
people.
The State board further resolved to
acquaint each union with the free
blood test services available through
local health departments, and to Sc
cure the cooperation of public health
facilities and the California Social
Hygiene Association in conducting an
educational program among the entire
union membership.
San. Franchises Metal Trades COun-
ell and Building Trades Council are
moving already to put the plan in
effect.
ShoStac reports L. S. Public Health
figures showing 100000 persons, in
Guiding Il bout 100000 Industrial
workers, have syphilis, with gonorrhea
known to strike two or three times
more often, and urges unions every
where to take action to help in school
educational programs and law enforce
ment efforts, us well as among their
own members.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

On June 10, 1910, exactly one month
after the Nazis invaded Holland and
Belgium in manner which was as
| faithless as it was murderous, Italy,
no less treacherOus, dealt France that
! infamous stab in the back which the
Free World, staggered by such in
credible villainy disguised as martial
prowess, swore to avenge.
Today we see poetic justice being
done to Italy in her desperate efforts
| to eXtricate herself from the terrible
consequences of Fascist sin; for if
Italy has dropped Fascism in her hour
of distress, the destructive evils of
Fascism have not yet dropped Italy.
Treacherously the Japanese attacked
| the United States at Pearl Harbor
while negotiations were in progress at
Washington; treacherously the Ger
mans had attached Russia half a year
earlier, despite a non-aggression pact.
1t is, therefore, not only freedom and
liberty which the United Nations have
sworn to vindicate each of them has
to avenge vile act of treachery which
the perpetrator had hoped would be
sanctiiied by speedy victory. Thus, the
| United Nations sacred solidarity as
champions of free world is coupled
with the terrifying solidarity of
avengers of foul treachery.
|
The recent broadcast of Prime
Minister Gerbrandy to the people of
his country was an impressive call for
just this solidarity. He contrasted
luckless Italy and its impotent rulers
with occupied Holland and it's Queen,
whom he called the symbol and the
sheet anchor of the peoples rights and
liberties Italy on the one hand, des-
perately struggling to disentangle itself
from the heavy chains with which it
once allowed itself to be tied to the
chariot of Germany; on the other
hand; HolIand-invaded, ravaged, en-
Slaved, yet free in spirit; the modern
incarnation of Nittorio Alfieri's proud
words: "Servi siam, 81, ma servi Ornor
frementi.' eyes, slaves we are, but
slaves forever in revolt.")
The Dutch leader called upon the
people of Holland to continue to col
lect their strength in order to resist
the tyrant" but lest they forget, he
reminded them that their Liberation
will be won at a heavy price, to be
paid by their Allies"
what is being sent over the seas
to the European continent he said,
constitutes the flower of the British
and American nations Tens of
thousands will never return Re
member your faithful champions when
you intensity your magnificent resist
ance, endangering your lives and Civ
ing your utmost to the task
This is the true spirit of solidarity
which is essential to complete victory.
If we boast, let us boast of the prowess
of our Allies, and may the pride of
the warriors who in their vast multi
tudeS are crossing oceans, be pride in
the heroic resistance and countless
sacrifices of the oppressed nations,
raised by their martyrdom to the al
tarS of humanity.
The United Nations, none excepted.
owe everything to each other. This is
the great lesson to be learned from the
noble words which Prime Minister
Gerbrandy addressed to the people of
the Netherlands. 1t is the foundation
of uncomfortable solidarity.

WALSH CONFERS
 WITH OFFICIALS
No Statement Issued on Investigation of Asses SOrs' System

Walter w. Walsh, state tax com- missioner, conferred with members of the Tax Review Board here yes- terday and consulted with the Mayor and others in what proved to be a routine visit on his part. MT. Walsh, 1t B reported discussed the question ot appeals pertaining to assessments, with the board, and other like routine matters.
 It is reported that he stated that he hoped to be able to submit his report on the findings of his assistants who have checked the records and operations of the local assessors's office. The probe has been conducted on orders from Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin after the chief executive had been re- quested by Mayor Monagan that such an investigation be conducted. The Governor had critised the operations of the assessors office after vetoing a Republican sponsor ed bill af the last legislature, ask ing for reduction in the staff of five assessors to that on one asses scr and two deputies.
 There is no immediate reflection to be construced toward the local staff of the officers, because the probe is being conducted, as 1t is believed that the final report is more likely to reveal that its find- ings show, that the present system, under which the assessors must operate, is now outmoded and sub- sequent changes should be put into effect.

MOVE EQUIPMENT FROM MANVILLE'S
More Purchases Indicate Plans for Complete Dis.
 mantlement of Plant !

Individual purchases and subse- quent removal of the remaining equipment at the E. J. Manville Co.,, has been taking place the past few days 1t has been stated, which sub- stantiates the report made by the Democrat that complete dissolution of the concern is now in progress.
 As reported, the corporate name, goodwill and the header depart ment of the concern was sold to the National Machinery Co.,. of Tif- fin, Ohio, to be taken over by Jan- llary 1st.
 Rowley W. Phillips, company president and other officials signed c. I. O. labor management con- tract with representatives of the employees last Saturday in New York. At the time MT. Phillips and other company heads objected to the clause within the contract stating that any subsequent pur- chaser of the remainder of the con- cern must adhere to the general contract being signed. The union representatives refused to withdraw the clause but did compromise on g. condition whereby a thirty day req negotiation period would be de- clared for the purpose of consult ing with any new purchasers.
 The local concern has been un- der the control and operations of the present heads for about two years now during which time, &C., cording to MT. Phillips, few new contracts could be obtained and business in general fell off. It is understood that at the time of pur- chase by the present officials a backlog of government contracts were on the old concerns books which subsequently, were exhausted.

SPECIAL ELECTION
 EXPENSES LISTED
About One=half of Original Appropriation to Be
 Expended

An invoice has been received by the city from the Secretary of States office to cover the costs of the printing of the ballots for last weeks special election, determining a winner between the tied Republi- can aldermen, William Gerardi and George Kingston.
 The invoice states that the city must pay $729.75 for 55,773 official ballots and for 13,952 sample ballots. Additional costs to be met are in the amount of $28, co for the printing of 75 moderator's sheets, and $8.75 for 175 tabulating sheets at .05 each. A total overall cost of $766.50
 This Is far below the original es- innate of 3,600 given the city and 1t is expected that total expenditures, of the city for the election will in no way consume more than half of the original appropriation set up in the amount of $7,896.
