''Liberal' Star Journal
Likes Hoover

Writing on the need for an Amer
lean foreign policy the Minneapolis
Star Journal states:
ut has been commonly recognized
that this country does not have a
foreign policy. Many people have been
disposed to blame this on the Repub-
icans, or the 'isolationists,' or any,
body besides the administration that
has been in power for the last 10
years.
''The fact is that the last admin
istration before Mr.. Roosevelt's, that
of Herbert Hoover, was steadily
formulating sound foreign policy of
world cooperation, under the leader
ship of President Hoover and Secre-
tary of State Stimson, after the aim
less Harding-Coolidge years, and that
this start was dissipated by President
Roosevelt-partly because the world
grew steadily more turbulent from
1888 on, but also because Mr.. Roose-
velt preferred improvisation and
quarterbacking to the pursuit of we'll
conceived and boldly stated long
range goals"
How about the Hawley -Smoot tariff
law that thousand economists OBJ
jected to? That was a big part of
the foreign policy prior to the present
federal administration.

The Coal Must Be
Justice

It has been we'll said that in the
long run militarism will not solve
problems without creating other and
greater problems. Also that war is a
crime or crusade.
We are in this great world con-
flict, and we are in it to win, and
let us hope, to make conditions bet
ter for the people.
History tells us that the first World
war did not make the world safe for
democracy. Economic, political and
social conditions after that war
blocked such progress.
That is the reason so many doubt
the flowery words that are now
spoken and written about the great
era to come This is especially true
when in many instances, we consider
the sources of those words.
Those who opposed Americas entry
into both wars may be consistent in
opposing our entry into world fed
Grafton of nations after war, but those
who eagerly sought our participation
in wars in the name of peace after
war, to be consistent, must be fol
some kind of overall agreement OF
world federation to preserve peace.
There are many people who have
advocated world peace through exam
pie. friendliness, helpfulness and JUS
tice long before many of the present
day shouters started their campaign
to save the world through ''organiza-
ton. Agreements must be had, anc
organization may be essential, but il
it is another balance of power propo-
sition and exploitation of backward
nations, then what good will it do
We must be sincere and words viii
not be enough.
Nearly all people are against wal
and desire peace. If we are contin.
ually getting into world conflicts, anc
can not keep out, something must be
done about it. Those with lust fol
power and empires must be put ir
place. War alone has not accom-
plished that goal. Something differ.
ent must be evolved.
After a humane peace settlement
it seemed logical that there should
be a federation of nations. But the
goal must be justice.

ment renegotiating war contracts, the
sudden stoppage of war contracts,
and spoke of the danger of war plants,
in which the government has billions
of dollars invested, being used for
anything but private business.
Why should there not be renegotia-
ton on the part of the government if
the profits are entirely out of line?
If in doubt, look up statistics on
profits of corporations after taxes for
the last three to four years as COM
pared to profits after taxes in prior
years. We are not supposed to be in
the war to pile up fortunes.
Yes, an industry could lose money
on a contract if the government cam
celled the contract when only par
TALLY completed. However, is there
much danger of the government not
dealing fairly in such an instance?
The public sympathy would be all
with the manufacturer who could be
bankrupted in a deal of that kind,
and the government, representing the
people, would be very unlikely to suf-
fer injustice to the contractor.
That part of Mr.. McDonald's speech
was old-line conservative talk and
has nothing to do with our foreign
policy. But maybe that is the stuff
that the officers and members want.
And along with that there were also
subtle boosts for Willkie and his
kind.

Russians in their attempt to trap
the Germans have entered the
city Of MetitOpOl. There is every
prospect that the Germans will
have to loosen their grip on the
Crimea - and when they let
go altogether, a United Nations
victory moves that much closer.
But, and that is perennial ques-
ton, can Russia keep on, more or
less unaided by her allies?
Conference.
Josef Stain claims, justifiably
that Russia has done a great deal
and can do much, much more, given
help in the form of what he still
prefers to call Second Front.
This problem seems to be destined
Moscow between American Secretary
of State Cordell Hull, British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden, and Rus
sian Foreign Commissar Molotov.
Before it was learned that Mr.
Hull had left America for Russia
the official Moscow press said that
the Soviet government was not in
terested in talking about postwar
politics. It wants an answer to the
question: what about that Second
Front?
Civilians, aided and guided, of
course, by military experts, are to
fix up a reply to that insistent de-
mand. Details of the Forthcoming
conference may not be expected pub
lished for some time to come, but
they may be of some Importance.
Portuguese Concession.
Of Importance, especially to the
British Empire, was the statement a
few days ago that Portugal had

agreed to define her status of neu-
trality in terms which would allow
British use of ports on the Azores;
this was done in accordance with an
English-Portugese treaty of amity
dating back to 1873. 1t helps.
Japanese Defeats.
Of major Importance during the
last days are the defeats which
American General Douglas Mac
Arthur's forces consistently inflict on
the japanese in the southwest Pa
cific.
When Americans, with insig-
nificant losses of their own,
shoot down, as they did the other
day at Rabaul, New Britain, one
hundred and seventy-seven Jap
anese planes, there is something
wrong with the military might
of the Nipponese.
There are mighty good reasons for
hoping that there will be something
wrong with the Japanese military
machine - until the whole war is
over.

Beautiful Words

Paying glowing tribute to Wendell
Willkie after his speech in st. Louis,
the Cowles Minneapolis Sunday Tri-
bune writes of the "barefooted lawyer
from Wall Street in an editorial:
american enterprise must be
kept free for every energetic Ameri-
can including the laborer and the
farmer and the small wage Garner,
by making it completely competitive,
irrespective of whose toes are stepped
on 1t is human nature for those
who have competed successfully not
to want competition against them.
That is precisely the kind of COM
petition we must be sure is preserved.
Without it opportunity and progress
are frozen"
What about the daily newspaper
monopoly in Minneapolis? The ostrich
head is in the sand. Going on the
daily says:
wendell Willkie would rather he
right than be president. 1t is not pos
sible to imagine him being content
as his probable opponent in next
November's election has been, to be
an adroit architect of majorities-re-
treating from convictions when re-
treat is politically expedient-glossing
over unpleasant facts in the hope
that brilliant improvisation can cope
with the consequences"

political candidates and themselves

Goading The Workers

Obvious efforts of reactiOnary EN-
plOyers TO gOad their workers into strikes,
slowdowns, holidays and other types of
Union reprisals are growing
The only possible reason for the atti.
tude taken by some employers is their
hope to have labor do something that will
give the reactionary representatives who
people the legislative houses of state and
nation, some excuse to pass repressive laws
or to utterly destroy labor.
Indeed, under the lash of the employ
ers, the lot of the American worker today
has become most trying one, for while he
Is trying to do his patriotic best 10 help his
country win the war, the hypocritical en-
plOyers sit back applying the lash to the
workers defenseless backs hoping that
they will grow sufficiently riled to break
out in violent reaction.
We can win or lose the war right here
In America, and from present indications
IT appears that the employers would just as
soon lose the war by keeping labor down,
as they would to win il, and see labor
emerge better organized than ever.

Veterans Hospital
For Toledo

Dear Sir:
The need of a Veterans Hos
pital for Toledo in Northwestern
Ohio grows more acute with
every enlistment or induction of
a man into the Armed Forces
from this community.
Twelve years ago the officials
in Washington considered very
seriously the possibility of erect
ing a Veterans Hospital in or
near Toledo and acknowledged
the need, but due to the depres-
sion or lack of interest by the
citizens in getting behind the
issue and demanding action, the
issue was dropped.
Today that need of a hospital
is multiplied by four hundred
per cent and growing higher
each day for every man that
serves in the Armed Forces is
entitled to disqualification in a
Veterans Hospital. Today hun
dreds of Veterans of World War
| are denied care, for all Vet
erans Hospitals are filled to
overflowing, and as the wounded
from this war are returned to
this country, some to spend the
rest of their lives in Government
Hospitals, the need grows more
and more. 1t should not be neces-
sary for the loved ones to travel
hundreds of miles to visit their
husbands or brothers as the case
might be.
We, veterans of World War |,
are doing what we can, but we
need all the help we can get
from organizations and the
families of the boys now in the
service. Write to your congress
man and senators and demand a
Veterans Hospital for Toledo.

Now that the fate of the
Hobbs bill is in the hands of the senate the
great question is What will the senate do with
the bill?
Several courses of action open to the
ate. 1. To kill the bill 2. to modify the bill in
such way to eliminate its worst features, by
amendments. 3. To pass the bill in its present
form.
Any predictions about what the senate will fl
nally do with the Hobbs bill is pure speculation
yet it seems the face of the matter that there
is great danger that the bill may be passed by the
senate.
Strong labor pressure which was brought to
bear upon congressman having failed to deter
many of the representatives from voting for the
bill, it is doubtful if labor shall succeed any bet
ter with the senate. Yet, we are compelled as a
matter of self-defense, to bring every effort we
to bear on our senator's, and seek their sup
port in defeating this vicious piece of anti-labor
legislation.
WRITE YOUR SENATORS
Congressman Homer Ramey, representing the
9Th congressional district in a letter to the To-
ledo Union Journal last week, promised he woy&h
vote against the Hobbs BILL This promise
obtained because Mr.. Ramey was satisfied II ~
the majority of the people in the district wantedV
him to vote against the Hobbs bill.
Similar action is possible if Ohio labor unites
in protesting the bill in letters to Senators Rob-
ert A. Taft, and Robert Burton. Address letter
to both these senator's, tell them that yoL as a
member of organized labor protest the Hobbs bill,
ask them to vote against the bill because it is
anti-union, too drastic and unnecessary at the
present time.
You may rest assured that if a sufficiently large
number of the workers of Ohio write this type of
letter to Senators Taft and Burton that they too
will bow to the wishes of the majority of the
people in Ohio, and defeat this measure when it
comes before the Senate Please write your sena-
tors.
