The Great Game of Politics
Lond's Decision Seen as Checking Maritime Unions
Demond Leading Up to Control Of Shipping

Administration proposals which lit
orally would cripple our armed serv-
ices in the midst of the greatest war
In history.
1t is also interesting to note that
the Bridges communication was
concurred in by Phillip Murray, head
of the C1O. Mr.. Murray is on init
mate terms with the President and
q frequent White House visitor. It
Is q rare day on which In some form
or other Mr.. Murray's press agents
do not parade his patriotism or he
does not laud the magnificent way
In which organized labor is support
ing the war effort. This, however,
has not prevented him from using
the war to extend the power of his
union in every possible way.
1t did not prevent him from sup
porting last year the strike position
OF his enemy, John L. Lewis. It did
not prevent him from scuttling the
Presidents National Labor Media
tion Board, of which he was a men,
Der. And it does not now prevent
him from indorsing the radical and
ruinous scheme advanced by the
Communistic Bridges and his friends,
who are quite the most danger
Gus rs well as the smartest labor
leaders we have.
Objective for Industry.
The truth is that this "tri-party
body" idea which Bridges and
his partners tried to force on the
VISA is the C1o objective for indus
try generally. But this is the first
time the demands have been made
IN writing-and put on the record.
The labor, management, Govern
ment" combination has a fair sound,
but 1t Is wholly false. In reality it
means labor control, as practical
political considerations inevitably
force Government cooperation with
labor as against management. Ger
tainly, that has been the record in
this administration and that as
suredly would have followed In our
vast and vital shipping activities
had the Bridges proposals gone
through.
Few things more disastrous to the
national interests at this time can be
conceived and 1t is greatly to the
credit Of the VISA that 1t made no
effort to conciliate or compromise.
In its reply, transmitted to the Tru-
man committee, the VISA literally
shot the proposal full Of holes. 1t
said mo" in q clear, strong voice.
There are Government agencies
which would not have done 50 and
the clarity and force Of the VISA
decision were fine. However, It's full
benefit will be lost If the people as
whole fail to understand what
these C1O radicals are really up to.
Considering this position, the efron-
terry Of Mr.. Bridges in making these
proposals Is exceeded only by their
shocking character.

and broken out of the flow Of
time. They try to turn children's
minds into graveyards for these
facts" But the vital grass grows
rapidly over the graveyards, un-
rooted in the dead matter; no
new life terminates from it.
The facts revealed by the
New York Times are also dead
facts, in themselves. Nothing will
come from the knowledge of
them unless the correct questions
are asked regarding what they
reveal.
In order to improve our educa-
ton in history we have to ask
what history is and why it is that
our youth is without historical
consciousness. Obviously it is not
because they don't take" his
tory. They do. But what do they
take?
Life Is Misrepresented.
History is a systematic record
of past life. Our errors do not
arise from a misconception of
this definition, but from a mis-
conception Of what life is.
Life-as Prof. Leo Ballet Of
Brooklyn College has put it's a
process Of processes" The whole
great process is an indivisible
unity. A systematic record Of
past life, embraces all that we
know of the activities of human
life in time.
Without this encyclopedia con-
cept Of indlvisible unity, we break
the great unity into categories.
Each category-the history Of
nation or culture, for instance
Is broken out of the frame and
"substantialized" into an entity
for itself. This atomization Of
past life into national histories is
then further atomized into differ
ent parts; politics, economics.
geography, literature, morals. art.
This is necessary to the process
of learning, provided that the in
divisible unity is the continual
frame of reference, and that all
along the line the atoms are re-
integrated. One breaks UP the
whole only for the purpose Of
analysis, only to re-synthesize it
into a comprehended, systematic
wholeness.
Process Is Education.
Now it is precisely this inte-
grating process which is "educa-
ton" But since our educa tors
are specialists, for whom the part
takes on an isolated life OF Its
own, this synthesis rarely takes
place. Therefore, the agglomera-
ton Of facts has no meaning to
the student. He forgets the facts.
because they tell him nothing
comprehensive.

of the country's

which ought to

zen. N o t h / ing
more revealing
h as happened
here for a long
time.
What the CIO
urged was, first,
Evening star., 1943-04-14

arising from the growing power
of the japanese in the Pacific.
The Chinese chieftain and the
representative of the Australian
government, who have been talk
ing softly about their own war
zones because they did not want
to interfere with strategic plans
decided at Casablanca, have now
raised their voices publicly.
Gen. Chang tells us that his
country is breathing heavily and
succor must come as soon as pos
sible, and DR.. Evatt asserts that
there is 4 renewed danger OF
the japanese making an impor-
tant drive on Australia in the
next few weeks.
Raids Were for Reconnaissance.
The Sunday and Monday air
operations involving about $50
Japanese planes are considered
mere reconnaissance work in
preparation for more extensive
operations involving the enemy's
navy and ground force.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur has
had an inkling OF what he may
expect in his and Admiral Will
liam F. Halsey's areas in the
near future. Several weeks ago
Gen. Macarthur sent his chief
Of staff, Maj. Gen. Richard
Sutherland, and the chief Of
his aviation, 1t. Gen. George C.
Kenney, to plead for more planes
to replace losses and re-establish
air superiority. Whether the
pleas OF the two officers have
been fully complied with is
military secret.
The japanese are determined
to make the best of a situation
which involves our greatest at
tention across the Atlantic.
They believe that while the
United States Navy in the Pacific
Is stronger than ever, since only
small units are needed for con-
voy duty in the Atlantic and the
newly commissioned heavier
ships are available for use
against Japan, the position in
regard to air and ground forces
Is favorable to them.
American production Of air.
planes Is more than satisfactory.
But out OF the production we

that all control over the many
phases Of ship operations, including
the movement of cargo, be central
lied in the VISA; second, that the
administration and formation OF
policy concerning all these activities
be vested in "tri-party bodies" one
covering the entire VISA operation,
one in each Of its many departments
and one in each of the many ports,
foreign and domestic, touched by
American shipping-each tri-party
body to consist Of representatives of
labor, Of management and OF Gov-
ernment.
To appreciate their revolutionary
character and what they would mean
to the war effort 1t Is necessary, first,
to understand the immediate effect
Of these proposals and second, to
understand from whom they come.
Cancels Army, Navy Control.
The first effect would be to take
away from the Army and Navy all
control over the many vessels they
now own. It would take out Of their
hands the operation Of vast terminal
facilities and warehouses in United
States ports and foreign harbors. It
would destroy the great and success
full system Of distributing cargo, Of
loading cargo and protecting cargo.
It would wipe out of existence the
Army and Navy organizations built
up In the many years Of operation of
their fleets and which conduct ex-
tensive operations In all parts OF the
world.
In brief, what the CIO proposed
was to wrest from the Army and
Navy traditional control OF their
great fleets and substitute system
composed Of multitude OF "tri-
party bodies" dominated by labor
and the Government. One has only
to consider the cumbersome nature
Of such q setup and the enormous
confusion which would follow to un-
derstand what would happen.
In the end, 1t would give the
CIO maritime unions control over
all shipping. 1t would enable
them to bottle up the country. It
certainly would place the future Of
the war in the hands of the labor
union leaders, raising them to a
position Of extraordinary power.
Sponsored by Bridges.
So much for the effect of the pro-
posals-now As to their source. They
were sponsored before the Truman
Senate Committee and the VISA by
group of CIO Maritime Union
leaders, chief Of wt.om was Harry
Bridges. head OF the C1O Longshore-
mems Union.

Coast labor leader who was held
to be member of the Commu-
