COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

T>OR all their destructiveness, mod
i ern wars only increase the death
rate of the warning nations by some
25 percent, points out Prof. William
Fielding Ogburn, noted sociologist, in
War, Babies, and the Future, an illu-
strated 32-page pamphlet just pub
lished by the Public Affairs Commit
tee, Inc.
Total loss of life of all warning ma
tions in 1912, Prof. Ogburn estimates,
was around 1,750,000. But in peace
time the countries at war would have
lost 100000 by death.
"There can be no question that the
present war is causing us to lose by
death a very select group" Ogburn
admits. But he points out that "this
killing of the best does not cause any
marked worsening of our racial stock.
1t is only change in the germ
plasm which affects racial stock"
Although Americas war losses are
not likely to affect population greatly,
America must gird itself for period
of declining population, the pamphlet
points out. Americas increasing birth
rate-from 1888 through 1912, our
best "boom" year for babies-is really
only an upward fiuctuation around the
downward trend of the birth rate that
began rs years ago, according to

PLEDGE WILL BE KEPT

Labor is determined to win this war
for we know the value of democratic
way of life. Our no-strike plan is the
best guarantee against interruptions
of production. The AFL has given its
word and will continue to honor its
pledge. By so doing we will continue
our work and sacrifice on a plane
above the persecution and injustice
of the Conally-Smith Act.-Labor' S
Monthly Survey, AFL.

SHORTAGE OF VITAL
Metals Forces Order to Release
$500 Miners From Army

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Fore-
cast by the American Federation of
Labor some months ago that war pro-
duction would decline if the drive to
build up an Army of 100000 men
was persisted in was borne out when
it was revealed that shortage of vital
metals is forcing the Army to release
4,500 soldiers who know something
about mining
The disclosure was made by Acting
Secretary of War Patterson, who said
the military program was being jeop-
ardized by shortages in copper, zinc
and molybdenum mines.
Patterson said efforts to recruit ad-
ditional miners from civilian sources
had failed to obtain the required num-
bers.
''The Army is the only source from
which the men with the necessary
skills can be obtained as quickly as
necessary" Patterson added
The step was taken at the direction
of the Office of War Mobilization, Pat
terson said, and the men will be re-
leased only for work sin mines of
highest productivity located in areas
of critical labor shortage"
The commanding general of the 9Th
Service Command, with headquarters
at Fort Douglas, Utah, has been
placed in charge of the program for
releasing soldiers, and the selection of
the men will start among troops sta
toned within the 9th Service Com
mand, and will be limited to units sta
toned west of the Mississippi River.
Where possible, those in the service
less than three months will be select
ed. Any men slated to go overseas
soon will not be eligible for release.
The shift from uniform to miner
cap will be voluntary; none of the men
have to do it unless they want to,
Patterson emphasized Once they are
back in the mines they will be civil
ians, not under Army jurisdiction, but
subject to recall if conditions change

FRIDAY, JULY 80, 1s43.
UNION PRODUCTION MIRACLE

Figures speak the loudest concern
ing the part union labor is playing in
the Navy's war effort and refute un-
founded charges against labor made
in Congress and elsewhere. Produc-
tion records were smashed in the first
half of 1943, when 5000 Naval craft
and 5000 Navy planes were produced,
the Navy Department has revealed.
Union men and women throughout
the nation took part in this miracle of
production answering the Navy's call
for more and more ships and planes
with which to smash the Axis.
Ship construction increased $50
percent over the same period in 1943,
the Navy said, and included all types
of vessels from the heaviest of bat
tleships to the smallest lighter. Nu-
merically, the largest group of YES
sells completed we're landing craft, ex-
elusive of rubber boats, which were
more than half of the total.
The plane total accepted by the
Navy in the first half of the year was
as great as all aircraft received last
year, and two and one-half times the
1941 Navy production.
The Navy did not give specific fig
ures on warship production but it is
known that the feet has been greatly
expanded this year The Navy did say,
however, that the number of new
combatant vessels completed during
the first half of 1943 was almost three
and half times the total for the
same period last year and that it set
a new all-time record for Navy con-
struction.
''For every three warships in the
fleet January l, 1943, the Navy COM
pleted one additional fighting ship
during the first half of the year." the
announcement said.

Organized Workers Sponsor
Bellingham Ship Launching

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-or-
ganized labor, which is building SHIPS
for the Navy faster and better tnan
any other nation in the world, op-
served red letter day recently at
Bellingham, Washington when the
USS Vent slid down the ways, the
Navy Departments Industrial lncen-
tive Division says. The ship was spon-
sored by the Central Labor Council
of Bellingham and labor representa-
tives officiated at the ceremony.
Master of ceremonies was Boyd
Specs. member of the Bellingham Mu-
sicians' Union. Lieut.. Silas j. kibet,
representing the commanding ofhcer
of the vessel, was introduced by Mrs.
Blanche Hodge, executive secretary OF
the Bellingham Central Labor Coun-
ell, who presented the Lieutenant
with recreational games to be used
by the personnel of the ship. Oscar
Wierauch, president of the Labor
Council, then presented flag for the
ship to Lieutenant Kibet.
The main speaker, Gerald W. Gan
non, paid tribute to labor and the
management of the Bellingham Ma
rine Railway and bodybuilding Yard,
terming Bellingham model commun-
ity for labor management unity. He
said labor and management at Bel
lingham were united in the fight
against the common ehemy.

Professor Ogburn.
We can look forward to an imme-
diate decrease in births in the United
States during the height of our ac-
tivity in the war, when more than 10
million men are away from home,
which will be offset only in part by
another squirt in population growth in
the postwar period
Professor Ogburn not only traces
the effects of war on births, deaths,
family life, and the sex ratio; he is
interested in how these population
trends in the future will affect wars.
even the present World War did
not come without population pres
sure" declares the author of the
pamphlet, pointing to the fact that
before the war the aggressor nations
Germany, Italy, Japan-had higher
rates of population growth than most
of the major countries with whom
they are now at war.
But he also points out that "popula-
tion pressure does not always make
for war as, for instances, in India;
and there are outlets for rapidly
growing countries other than the
route of war. This may be seen in
Russia today, country that needs
settlement in the East

Six Cities on Labor Honor Roll

more than 100 labor men on their To-

They are Detroit, Pittsburgh, Seattle,

pants on boards leads the parade.

TOO MANY WORKERS TAKEN

Government officials are finding out
the obvious truth that war production
in certain lines can't be maintained
and increased if too many men are put
into the armed forces.
In production of vital metals, work
ers are needed so badly that 4,50O
soldiers with mining knowledge will
be mustered out for jobs in the larger
mines. This announcement was made

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly. Sometimes Aippantly, some
times recklessly.
:. THE

1t is common to find folks who know
something about what's going on in
this flea bitten world growing about
lousy newspaper coverage of both the
military and political aspects of war
Coverage of the military aspect is,
in great part of the field except the
"eye witness" realm, none too good.
Coverage of the political aspect is
just about non-existent, as far as any
intelligent work is concerned.
But when you put down all of the
sins of omission and commission on
the part of the newspaper fraternity,
the stark and startling fact remains
that of all the sinners on both counts.
the movies take all prizes for BOBBY
hatch work.
And where do the movies fall hard
est? In the news reel.
We've had some corking good fic-
tionalized war pictures, but in the
real of news pictures, with the biggest
news event of all time cracking all
over the world, the movies give US at
best dab here and there.
Patrons have to sit through minutes
of blab and blab "trailers" which tell
how great is the coming attraction" !"
They'll show plenty of Miss Dill Pickle
Week Queen and of this and that trip
cry stuff
And then 1eeting shot or two of
the war, in which the very life of
every last patron is involved-and,
ladies and gentlemen, you may now
go home and relax-or go home and
get sore as hell at this downright
cheating.
If new politician gets a job in
Washington, the news reels show his
shop-worn mug as he reads, none too
well, bit of bluIb written by the
press agent to whom he fell heir when
he took his new job.
You see plenty of that kind of stuff.
But the war? This amazing war? Oh,
yes, shot here and there, almost as
an after thought.
Maybe Washington has reasons for
not wanting us to see the war? Is
that it?
But if the politicos only knew it,
better than any propaganda picture of
war is the real thing itself.
Men and women all over the country
could be brought to a realization
which they do not now possess that
this is THEIR own very personal war,
if the news reels would give down
with plenty of stuff right from the
front.
That the pictures are taken is of
course the fact. Miles of them.
That only a dribble ever gets to
that white expanse fatously called the
silver screen is obvious to every pa
tron of the movies.
Whether it's Will Hays or Elmer
Davis is beside the point. Or whether
it's the movie industry itself-that
also is beside the point.
The point is that a job so lame and
is being done that the
wonder is the welkin doesn't ring
from coast to coast in indignation.
1t can't be censorship entirely, be-
cause after SO long everything can be
told and pictured without benefit to
the enemy.
The big, dramatic sweep of the war
just hasn't caught the movies at all.
Nor has the job Ernie Pyle has done
so outstandingly for the newspapers
had it's counterpart, or even minor
counterfeit of it, in the movies.
1t is because of the awesome mag
nitude of the conflict? Maybe that has
to do with it. But that

FACTS ABOUT
PASSENGER CAR TIRES

The synthetic rubber tire is not yet improvement
but it will keep your rolling through the emergency
In many respects, the synthetic rubber tires are
unknown quantity.
How they would behave at the phenomenally high
speeds of prewar days is purely academic The patriotic
citizen knows that high speeds out his treads far
faster than the recommended speed of IS miles per hour
and drives accordingly.
Under-nAation driving rough roads, and other
abuses bad for all res-bu todays evidence is that
synthetic tires will stand less of these abuses than the
tires you have been used to,
But, since these tires will be rationed to you in
trust for the nation, it will be your duty to take
every possible care of them, and to prevent mis-
and abuse
AS we gain more experience with synthetic rubber
tires, and more things will become known about
them, and the public will be kept informed

This the situation today-the rubber supply crisis is
past but the long predicted and anticipated tire shortage
is with u.s.
Why this so, when thousands of tons of Government
synthetic rubber now being made?
Why is this so, when the rubber industry is turning
out such tremendous tonnage of rubber products and
more airplane and truck tires than ever before?
Because, as the Baruch Committee foresaw-the
fact that few tires could be made until we had
our synthetic rubber supply we'll on the way,
suited in millions of tires going out of service
without replaCement-and those remaining have
gone.
Because military needs way beyond any,
ones antCipations.
Because the rubber companies must use lot of
their manpower and machines to make bullet
sealing gas tanks and hundreds of other rubber
products for war; in addition to tires.
Because half of todays requirements are for
heavyduty, large size truck bus, combat, artil-
lery, and airplane tires, requiring many, many
times the labor and materials of peacetime needs.
And fnally...
Because the manpower shortage hangs the tire
industry it does all industry, and there just
too few hands for the job
