RACES AND CLASSES

There isn't much need to fuss
about upper and lower classes OF
old American families that live on
our farms, in the villages. or in the
cities. or who are small and big
business men rich men. poor
men. lawyers. doctors. etc. They
are all credit to a great country
they helped make. But the gap is
widening between the whites and
the negroes. The records show that
the whites are the mOuthpieces for
the propaganda and that most of
it is for selfish political purposes.
The negroes have been fighting
hack. and the situation is growing
worse.

AUSTRALIANS PLANS

With postwar planners expressing their views
in the United States it might be well at the same
time to take look at what another of the United
Nations, Australia, says about the postwar world.
The following excerpts were taken from speech de-
liyered by Joseph B. Chifley who is Australians
Treasurer:
Among the bad things in the pre-war world
were uncertainty of employment and economic in
security In the postwar world it is the broad aim
OF our reconstruction policy to give security of
ployment and to raise living standards
There two approaches to this question. The
first is direct. 1t will seek by positive means to
ensure jobs for all willing to work, and will guide
production into channels which will give to people
those things necessary for higher living standards
THE second is indirect. 1t is the use of unem-
ployment benefits sickness benefits pensions and
other allowances to protect individuals to whom we
fail to give economic security by direct
THE main function of reconstruction will be
postive-to create conditions in which these pallia-
tives will become less and less necessary.
Our first duty must be to the and women
of the fighting forces But if to provide
jobs in a better postwar world for servicemen and
muntion workers, there number of problems
which we must tackle.
There is rehabilitation of primary produc-
ton-rehabitation based on the potential markets
available at home and abroad Our main aim must
also be to give farmers greater stability of income
and to improve efficiency in farming methods so
that many of primary industries will depend less
