AFL WORKER CITED
FOR SAFETY AWARD

New York City.-Joe Hlatko was
chosen Safety Ace" of the week by
the National Safety Council from the
food processing industry. For eleven
years an employee Of General Mills.
Inc, central division, in South Chi
cago, Hlatko has made three i'm
portant contributions to safety in his
plant.
A member of the Flour, Feed and
Cereal Workers Union, AFL., Hlatko
says accidents are not going to keep
the boys in the services from getting
their breakfast food if he can help it.
He has arranged for guards around
high speed shafts of packing ma
chimes, for safety zones and guard
rails, and for devices to prevent the
men from cleaning their dusty clothes
with dangerously powerful air hoses.
Hlatko has helped his plant pile up a
record of 100000 man-hours without
a lost-time accident. He was awarded
a 500 war bond and cited for distin
guished service by the National
Safety Council on a nationwide radio
program.

Military facts are one thing;
critical opinions are something else.
We must not be brought to situa-
tion in which we can only paraphrase
the man who challenged, "well, you
can't arrest me for what | think" !"
The America to which we are loyal,
the America which we love and for
which we are united in history's most
colossal struggle, is an America in
which every person has had right to
call down his representatives in of
flee and to bawl the living hell out of
them if he felt like it.
When we can't bawl them out they
will do too much of what THEY want
to do; too little of what WE want
them to do. So grows tyranny.

DANGEROUS LABOR
LEGISLATION

An anti-labor law submitted to the
Georgia Legislature and frankly
called an anti-strike law, gives point
to the American Federation of La
boris warning that a flood of state
anti-labor acts threatens the labor
movement and national unity and Sc
curity.
The Georgia proposal is only one of
a number. Hardly a day passes with
out reports from state capitals telling
of similar proposals-many so drastic
as to be grotesquely absurd in this
day and age. Yet they continue to be
proposed and there is no sign of a
let-up.
Evidently organized labor has a job
ahead of 1.-THE job of showing the
nation the dangerous character of
much of the proposed legislation deal
ing with labor activities. The pro-
posals are creating serious situa-
tion, as they might easily lead to loss
of faith and confidence among the
great masses of the people-a loss
which inevitably will be reflected in

the Army has hedged about discharge
of older men with so many restric-
tions that it is making it difficult fol
them to get out.
Results of service of men of 38 and
beyond has shown that in many cases
they are not physically fitted for the
rigors of army life as enlisted men
Too large a proportion of them have
landed in hospitals, as the Army
should have known would be the case.
Many have been almost, if not quite,
a total liability to the Army.
Generally speaking, the older men,
especially those in their 40's would
have been of far more service to their
country if left at their jobs, paying
income and other taxes, buying war
bonds, helping in civilian defense,
aiding in other ways.
Some few men in their 40's, because
of previous military experience, or be-
cause of special skills or knowledge
needed in the military services, may
be of real value to the Army. But the
majority do not belong there, except
as officers.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

a PLAN to supply the food needs
"A of the peoples of the United
Nations as a starting point toward
the worldwide planning that will be
required in the postwar reconstruc-
tion period is proposed by Sir John
BOYD Orr, famous British authority
on nutrition, in an article featuring
the current issue of the International
Labor Review, monthly publication of
the International Labor Office at
Montreal.
"The only way to ensure postwar
united action" Sir John says, "is to
get agreement now on plan ex-
pressed in concrete terms about which
there can be no ambiguity-not even
any pretense of misunderstanding.
The plan must deal with something of
equal interest to all nations. 1t must
deal with something SO essential for
the welfare of all people that every
government, whatever its political
philosophy may be, will agree to CO.
operate on a worldwide basis.
1T must be so simple in its broad
outlines that it will be understood by
the common people. 1t must be prac-
teal plan which we have the physical
means to carry to completion. 1t must
be one which can be applied in its
initial stages in the free countries
during the war, and in the occupied
countries as soon as they are liber-
ated, so that there will be no need to
wait for a peace conference for de-
cision. The development of the plan
must arise from war plan and pro-
ceed automatically, unless some ma
tion or group of nations decides to
withdraw from cooperation"
A food plan based on human needs,
Sir John declares, meets all these con-
ditions.
The article points out that standard
food requirements for health are now
known, and it says that estimates can
be made for any country of the

WHAT NEXT?

A dispatch from Cleveland reports
that the construction of a new-type
plywood cargo planes has been facili-
tated by the perfection of plywood
speed nut, repeatedly the only self
locking nut that can be instantly
driven into anchored position. The
weight of the nuts, 31a pounds each
thousand, makes them extremely ap-
plicable for aircraft construction.

amount of commonly used foodstuffs
which would be needed to bring the
diet of the whole population up the
health standard. A food plan, Sir
John says, could therefore be worked
out in concrete terms of estimated
amounts of the common foods, land
we could plan for definite and limit
ed objective"
Sir John contends that since nutri-
tional requirements are the same for
the people of all races a food plan
based on human needs would be equal
ly applicable to all nations. Moreover,
he says, plan to provide food on the
basis of need is practicable since "the
food the people need can be produced
if governments show anything like
the same resolution and energy in
providing for the primary needs of
the people in peace as they have
shown in providing food and arma-
ments in war"
i
Citing as evidence the recent
Canada United States agricultural
production agreement, the article ar
CUES that under the stress of war the
United Nations have already gone a
long way towards policy of adjust
ing the production and distribution of
food to meet the nutritional needs of
the people" What now must be done,
it says, is to extend this policy.
To do this, Sir John urges the es-
tablishment of national organizations
and, in addition, an international or
ganization ito enable the nations to
cooperate with each other in regula-
ting food production and to develop
their industries and trade on a world
basis for their mutual advantage"
Unless we hand out funds for war
bonds, even our stout-hearted and
steel-nerved men on airships, war
ships and land battleships won't be
able to dish it out to the Axis ma
rauders.
