did go up. There is no doubt that
spuds were bootlegged. The corner
groceryman dished them up from be-
hind the counter with a great deal of
"hush-hush" and at fantastic cost.
The lowly spud became rarity and a
treat.
Now, suddenly, we are informed
that tremendous surplus of potatoes
has developed. The War Food Admin
istration sends us an urgent appeal"
to eat potatoes now. We are told of a
bumper crop of early potatoes which
are perishable. "These early pota-
toes," says the release, won't keep
they must be consumed or wasted
it's now or never"
One would expect that such an over
whelming surplus of spuds would
drive down the price and make pota-
toes an attractive buy for housekeep-
ers who have to spread their pennies
thin these days. Perish the thought!
In the same dispatch from New York
which tells of 15-million bushel po-
tatoe crop on Long Island, there ap-
pears sentence to the effect that the
War Food Administration is buying
heavily "to keep up the price"
In the name of all that's reasonable
WHY? If there is an actual surplus
of potatoes now - which we don't
doubt-why should we have to pay an
inflated price of 5 cents a pound for
them in the retail stores.
It's things like this that disgust the
American people and make them Won
der whether the people who are run
ming our domestic economy on the
home front know what it's all about.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

a RE plans under way to raise the
"A worlds standard of living large
ly at the expense of the American
worker? If they are, the American
worker is likely to balk in way that
will surprise and grieve the planners.
An idea of what many workers
must be thinking on the subject and
will say as time goes on is given in a
talk by David B. Robertson, president
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, before the
National Assembly of Railroad Y. M.
C. AS, held recently in Cincinnati.
President Robertson di d some plain
talking, warning that labor looks with
suspicion upon any postwar plans
which envisage the raising of the
worlds living standards at the ex-
pense of the standard of living of
American labor. The title of his ad-
dress was "Enginemen Bill Smith
Looks at the Postwar World"
Asserting that "Bill Smith" is for
all-out effort to win the war, Robert
son said that he must be permitted to
participate in winning the peace-but
not solely at his expense.
II can assure you that he has not
been satisfied with what he has
learned about the possible perpetua-
ton beyond the wars duration OF
lend-lease, the draft and rationing,'
Robertson said. ct is explained to him
that this continuity may be necessary
so that the worlds standard of living
might be raised.
"If," Robertson added, ''in my in
formed opinion, the danger of indef-
mite termination of drastic wartime
restriction may become realized
through postwar planning, then, or
behalf of the Bill Smiths, will resist
to the uttermost"

LABOR VIEW PREVAILING?

The pressure to build up the mill
tary forces as fast as possible has
been relaxed somewhat, it is reported.
Evidently the Army and Navy heads,
who few months ago were hell bent
on getting into uniform every man
who could stand up have changed
their minds, at least temporarily.
1t is explained that partly response
BILE for the easing of the military
services demands for men is the fact
that casualties since April have fallen
below Army estimates. But there may
be other reasons. Perhaps the mill
tary chiefs are beginning to realize
that they were aiming too high, as
pointed out months ago by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
Early in March, President Green of
the AFL declared his organization's
intention to oppose "any unreasonable
plan to strip industry of skilled work.
ers to build up an excessively large
Army"
He urged that balance be kept
between the military services and the
working force at home and warned
that if too many men were rushed
into the Army production was bound
to suffer, which he added would be
fatal"

The Army's Quartermaster Depot

Discussing postwar planning for
equalizing world income in order to
raise the worlds standard of living,
the labor official pointed out that in
order to accomplish this it will be
necessary to syphon off American in
come.
at is fallacious," Robertson de-
clared, ITO make serious drafts
against the American standard of liv-
ing, outside of war, in the attempt to
equalize freedom from want, through
out world containing more than two
billion people.
"The objective is laudable and
should meet with the approval of
every free American. But the method
is consummately unintelligent. 1t
would definitely cripple and degrade
the Bill Smiths and their families. 1t
would seriously restrict them, in the
future, in sustaining any reasonable
standard of social or economic service
to themselves and to the world. In
order to reach such a desirable OBJ
jective as world freedom from want,
Bill Smiths ability, capacity and en-
terprise must be greatly enlarged
not impaired"
We are SO far from perfect our
selves that we should hesitate at try
ing to remold any other nation into
our own pattern-whether that pat
tern be of conditions as they are or
as we think they should be. Instead
let us extend helping hand, and en-
courage the other fellow to grasp it.
If we do unto them as we would want
them to do unto us, | think we won't
need to worry about our ability to
march ahead together into happier
and better days-Robert j. Watt, In

"The size of the Army of the United
States," Green said, Should not be
measured by the size of the army in
Germany, Russia, or Great Britain.
Our job is greatly different from any
of these. We are not only fighting but
producing. We are the arsenal of
democracy"
If the U. S. military leaders are be-
ginning to take view in harmony
with that of organized labor on the
question of the size of the military
forces, a victory for reason and in
telligence has been won.

1t is probably mistake to say that
this war is being fought SO that out
of it shall come better world.
When the guns stop firing the world
may not be so much better.
1t may take years of hard thinking,
hard work and hard living before we
have a world that is much better.
But this war is and must be for the
chance to make better world.
If, given the chance, we don't make
better world, then that's our fault.
If we should LOSE this war,
then all chance is gone, all free
dom is gone and all that we have
ever dreamed about is gone.
That's the really big issue in this
war, the really big stake we have in
it.
If we don't win we don't even have
the chance to make a better world.
We win, or else we lose everything,
including hope!
Some people act as if the outcome
of the war might not make SO much
difference.
Some people act as if losing the
war wouldn't be so terrible.
Some people act as if winning a
petty squabble at home might be more
important than winning the war.
If that isn't so, then why do we
have so many squabbles? Why is
there so much really small pickering
going on?
Why is there SO much mean
quarreling that hampers the war job ?
Remember, if there hadn't been
enough material on the spot, Sicily
couldn't have been occupied.
Whenever the materials of war stop
flowing fast enough, that moment our
armies will cease to move forward
and they may be beaten back!
That's the hard truth about making
war in this age.
Men, without full equipment, can't
even hold their ground.
They can't shinny up tree and cut
themselves some more arrows.
They can't just tie another rock to
the end of club.
They have to have the intricate
stuff that comes out of hundreds and
thousands Of factories, into which
raw materials must flow with con-
stant and steady measure.
To have the responsibility for stop
ping or slowing that flow for an in
slant is to have responsibility so
fearful and so awesome that it is re-
markable that any but conscious
traitor would want it or could stand it.
And equally fearful is the response
bility of those who permit faulty
equipment to go forth to the men
fighting the war at the front. That is,
in truth, like a dagger in the back.
Of course, humanity being what it
is, we shall have squabbles and
troubl les, ranging from needless
strikes, through fualty equipment, to
riots like those in Los Angeles and
Detroit.
We shall have stupid misconduct
and wilful treachery.
But most of our people must under
stand the titanic issue of this war, the
inexpressable totality Of everything
which depends upon victory for the
side of liberty and human rights. And
they do.

No cheap ballyhoo can either con-
vert those who impede or bring
deeper fervor to the hearts of those
who know we must stake everything
on victory.
The issue is too deep for that, too
all-embracing.
Our understanding of it must be
based upon our love of freedom and
our deep and reasoned conviction that
