United States Labor
Making Secret Weapon.

Washington, D. C.-The answer to
the threats of the Nazis that "secret
weapons" will be used to enslave free
nations has been revealed by Rear
Admiral w. H. P Blandy, USN, Chief
of the Navy Departments Bureau of
Ordnance, who said that American
workers have been producing secret
weapons" of their own for months and
that these weapons are now being
used against the enemy
Admiral Blandy said one of these
amazing new secret weapons being
produced by American workers is so
sensational that a foreign scientist
labeled it impossible" These new
weapons, he said, are helping in a
large degree to shorten this war"
These new weapons were termed
fully comparable to the German
radio controlled bomb and acoustic
homing torpedo" and are unknown
either to the enemy or to the public.
Our new weapons can be and are
kept secret except that the enemy re-
ceives full knowledge of their effects"
Admiral Blandy said.
Credit was given workers for pro-
ducing countless anti-aircraft weap-
ons that have provided surface YES
sells with an adequate defense against
attacking planes and fire control
equipment that has been partly re-
sponsible for naval successes.

MAKE "A THE VICTORY YEAR!

NAME A IHE NlCIOR1 1EAR
Lets win the war in AL" is labor's
slogan, it's goal and its highest re-
solve for the coming year, says Will
liam Green, in his New Year mes
sage to the nation.
No immediate goal could be more
important. 1t is deserving of the very
best efforts of every American. La
Dor can be depended upon to do its
maximum. AS President Green says:
"American workers, who have won
the battle of production in record
time, are determined to do their ut
most in the months ahead to bring
the war to a speedy and victorious
conclusion. To help our fighting forces
in the supreme tasks that lie ahead,
American workers are ready to work
and sacrifice as never before"
But victory Will not end labor'S re-
sponsibilities to the cause of freedom,
says the AFL head He adds that la
Dor will not consider the war won un-
til America has capped its military
victories with equal triumphs for it's
postwar detectives" which he lists as
follows:
Establishment of lasting peace un-
der world democracy.
Provision of jobs for all in peace
time America.
To aid in the speedy victory which
will bring the postwar objectives,
every worker must stay everlastingly
on the job, buy war bonds to the limit
of his ability, abide by rationing and
other war regulations, support the
victory drive in every possible way.

COMFORT FOR THE NAZIs

The AZ Senators whose votes killed
the Lucas-Green soldier vote bill gave
joy to the Nazi propagandists who
gleefully seized on the news that
Washington had acted to disfranchise
soldiers, using it widely around the
world to discredit the democratic ma
tions and lower the morals of Amer
ica's allies.
But Senator Eastland of Mississippi
and others were too busy fighting the
administration - the Washington
bureaucracy worry unduly about
fighting the Nazis or about what hap
pened to the morale of those who are
fighting. Eastland, one of the authors
of the fake soldier vote bill passed by
the Senate in place of the Lucas
Green measure, said:
Soldiers voting is not an issue
here, the sole issue !. is whether we
are to turn the election machinery of
the country over to an aggregation of
power-crazy bureaucrats."
There are many who see the cleo
tion of 1914 as the most important
since that of Abraham Lincoln. Ger
tainly what happens in the election
may well be big factor in shaping
the world to which our soldiers re-
turn. To deny voice in that cleo
tion to those who are dying to pro-
tect our right to hold such elections
is indeed macabre joke and black
disgrace.

\HE present CONFUSION In Con-
i gress on variety of issues affect
ing the war is reflection of confu-
sion in America as whole. This has
been only too painfully shown in re-
cent debates and congressional votes.
The need for national unity has never
been so great as now. Yet we have
certainly not got it by long shot.
This is the hour when the labor
movement can give America a clear
call and lead her back to the funda-
mental principles which will build
unity. The nation will follow such
lead.
Solid qualities like fair-dealing,
sacrifices, hard work and care for the
whole country are needed right now
when we are preparing for the great
est military offensive of all time. We
can create public opinion in which
the wrong proposals wither. The only
encouragement the enemy will get
these days is to see signs of inner
division in America.
War is war, whether it is between
nations, between classes, or between
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith at home. 1t is the
clash of nations, groups or individ-
uals who want their own way and
mean to get it. 1t is this selfishness
that makes one group fight to keep
what it has and what others need, and
another group fight to get what
others have and it wants. Unless we
conquer the greed and selfishness in
human nature they will quickly sabo-
tage any new plan or system how
ever ideal and just in it's design, and
war in some form will stay with US.
The other fellow whose selfish ma
terialism and ambition creates social
injustice, must change. But to have
the right to demand his change, we
must be free from selfish materialism
and ambition ourselves or it may be
another case of the pot calling the
kettle black.
This is labor's national opportunity
and responsibility. Labor can give
America the lead SO urgently needed
by building a new spirit, fear-free,
greed-free, the spirit of Moral Re-
Armament which is SO vital now in
insuring a steady stream of the ma
terials of war In giving this new
spirit to the nation, labor will help
the people to find their national
strength and true greatness and pro-
duce the statesmen that America
needs now and will look to for recon-
structing the postwar world.
A Dutchman who escaped to Eng
land recently related the following
story which is circulating through
out Holland A man, fed with condi-
tions, tried to commit suicide.
First he tried to hang himself, but
'orsatz" rope broke under his weight.
Next he threw himself into a canal,
but his "ersatz" suit, made of wood,
kept him afoat In disgust, he bought
some poison from drug store, but
that was 'ersatz," too, and had no
effect.
Finally he gave up the idea of sui
eide and started to live on his ration
coupons. AS result, he died within
a month.
Though bloody fighting in all
probability is to come before the war
ends, people in all nations are turn
ing with increasing interest to con-
sideration of peace and it's problems,
especially the question of employ

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

ment. To none is this question OF
more Importance and concern than to
men and women in the military serv-
ices and they more and more ask,
"When / get out will l have a job 2"
This very natural question is the
title of new Public Affairs Commit
tee pamphlet, by Maxwell S. Stewart,
which emphasizes that an adequate
rehabilitation programs calls for ac-
tion by private industry, labor, agri-
culture, state and local governments,
as we'll as the federal government.
In other words, jobs after the war
are the concern of everybody But
organizations and private and gov
ernment agencies must take the lead
in plans and action for dealing with
the job problems. And organized la
Dor cannot afford to lag in this.
Mr. Maxwell, in brief and simple
form, presents the facts that must be
considered in solving postwar employ
ment problems and discusses what
must be done. His discussion is con-
cerned primarily with employment for
discharged servicemen and women
but it also applies to workers on the
home front. Early in his pamphlet he
points out that the speed with which
servicemen and women can be de-
modified will depend in part on the
skill with which industry is shifted
from war to peace production.
Private industry must assume the
primary task of providing jobs, Ste
wart thinks. And in its reconversion
problems, industry must work coop
eratively with government and the
public at large to insure smooth
adjustment. To this end, private in
dustry should plan now program for
taking back the men it has released,
as well as considering possibilities
for postwar expansion.
The most satisfactory results will
be obtained if business cooperates
with the U. S. Employment Service
and other government agencies in
working out efficient methods of
training and hiring
These are the authors conclusions
in regard to industry's part in pro-
viding postwar employment.
If large postwar construction
program is to be undertaken, Stewart
believes labor union will have to CO.
operate with the building industry in
removing what he calls restrictions
which hinder large-scale building" /"
The unions will be expected to CO.
operate in peace as they have assist
ed in war production, he says, adding
that they also have a contribution to
make in the creation of smooth-work-
ing hiring and training programs.
The state and local governments
are urged to take immediate steps to
plan public undertakings to be started
after the war-in the field of land
conservation, the improving of coun-
try roads, and similar projects using
a great deal of labor in proportion to
the amount of equipment and sup
plies needed. Attention might well
be given particularly to the improve
ment of public health, education, and
recreation.
