WASHlNGIoN' March "a
W Men in their own daily lives
seem TO me TO have set a pretty
good example for the planners
Of the postwar world.
No man lives entirely TO him
self yet no man sacrifices his
integrity or his ideals 10 an
other. He gets along with his
nelghbors. no d ing opposite
views in a friendly and coop
erative spirit, but he does not
sacrifice his own views.
1t is within this scope that he
practices brotherly love in his
own daily life. He does not
practice it to the idealiStic eX-
tent Of trying TO love his next
door neighbor as much as his
immediate family.
1t is only natural for a man
10 care for those Who are around
him more than whose who are
distant. He always will.
THE SAME is true to an inter-
L national extent among ma
tons. Each nation first con-
SldcrS It's own or should.
After that, II gets along with its
n e & h boris in an agreeable.
friendly. negotiated spirit as
best 1t can.
Not all get along with all.
But each adaptS itself 10 the
realities Of existence which are
the common laws of each indi-
vldual man in his work, his life,
and his community.
VET proposals have been made
that we do collectively what
each of us knows 10 be foolish,
as far as he himself is con-
ccrned. No nation can expect 10
live alone just as no man can
live alone. lnter-dependency IS
also a natural law.
But TO carry il in a postwar
settlement beyond the practical
point. which each man has set
for himself in his own way of
living. is, to my mind. to carry
il into the realm of impractical
bility. It will not work.
But il We adopt the common
sense individual basis, il would
not be necessary for us TO Sacri-
fee our national ideals a bit, or
open our national purse of the
peoples money any wider than
is sensible 10 live agreeably with

Wives On Stand

A moving part of the testimony
was the appearance of two war
workers wives, CLIO Women's
Auxiliary members from Cumber-
land, Md. These witnesses, Mrs
Winona Snyder and Mrs. Rather
inc Weatherholt, told of the strug-
gle the working class housewife
has to keep her man or the war
job and her family healthy with
present high taxes, living costs
and other enemies of the budget.
Speaking for the CLOS third
largest union, the Electrical Radio
and Machine Workers, Frances
Sayler told of the UEs basic posi-
ton on taxes. She said the tax
problem must be approached in
the same way we should approach

tory drive in the great offensives

ing the farmer, is through food
subsidies. To this the special priv
ilege groups apply the usual form
ula of making labor and the little
fellow pay.
Man-power is the same story.
The war interests demand that
drastic steps be taken to insure
adequate manpower by ending dis
elimination, compelling continuous
operation of plants, providing
housing, child care, transporta-
ton, and by general overall plan
ming. Special privileges take the
same position against the worker.

human terms exactly what it is
like to live on a war workers
wages with inflated living costs to
fight with. They told Congress
what a sales tax and other new
burdens on the workers would
mean to their health and working
ability.
The Congressman were i'm
pressed, since it isn't often they
hear from the voters on such
things as taxes. One of them was
so impressed, in fact, that he lost
his head in his excitement at
seeing the peoples delegates, and
called Richard T. Frankenteen and
all labor leaders thugs and ban
dts"
This Congressman was Daniel
A. Reed r., N. W, and his face
turned a deep purple with rage
as he looked at the working men
and women on the stand telling
Congress of their needs and their
living conditions. The insult to
all labor was duly marked by
Frankensteen, who told Reed that
the war workers would hear about
it and would remember it.
First rank and file delegate on
the stand was Glenn Speelman of
the United Steelworkers, who told
in simple terms of the struggle he
and his family had to live on the
$500 year he earned before
taxes and other deductions were
taken out.
Speelman's appearance was re-
sisted at first by Rep. Doughton
ID, N. c., but after that no
argument was put up by the COM
mittee against the rest of the
witnesses from the plain people.
In fact the Congressman stayed
through the day to listen-partic-
ularly the Republican members,
who may have felt a sense of
guilt about Reeds outburst against
American labor.
Frankensteen was followed by
three JAW workers, one of whom
told the committee the facts of life
on a workers wages and a family
of nine children. Michael ]. Quill,
Transport Workers president and
candidate for the New York City
Council, brought two live lex
hibits" with him.

In sitting out the big issues that
are being battled over in Congress,
the struggle boils down to a
fight between special privilege on
one side, and the war interests
of the nation on the other. Spe-
cially privileged have those nice.
war profits, high incomes, and
the increasing profits that come
with the rising prices. They are
set, and intend to put up a real
battle to stay that way!
On the. three major fronts now
before Congress, we have the tax
living-cost-man-power situation
being fought desperately by the
representatives of special privilege,
a fight that is obviously against
steps that are necessary for war
efficiency. What is worse, they
have adopted a simple formula
that calls for making the little
fellow pay, whenever special priv
ilege is threatened.
Government statistics show that
eight peri cent of the American
population, men and women with
with incomes over five thousand
dollars, have a surplus of four
teen billions of dollars after meet
ing luxury living costs and pay
ing all taxes. All of the rest Of
the majority have none whatso-
ever, with millions lacking enough
for a decent and healthful living.
Obviously, the extra taxes must
come from those who have those
large incomes, while those who
have barely enough or less than
enough to live. on should be ex-
empt from taxes.
The Chamber of Commerce and
the spokesman of special privilege
are not waiting for this logic to
sink home in the minds of Con-
gressmen. They have taken the
offensive to make the little fell
low pay through the nose, in the
form of a ten per cent sales tax.
Unfortunately, even the United
States Treasury has yielded to the
pressure and has recommended
income taxes for married couples
with less than twelve hundred
dollars, a level that does not al
low for healthful and decent liv-
ing as is, without taxes.
The same line is followed on
subsidies. Wages have long been
frozen, living costs continue to
rsie. 1t is to the best interest of
winning the war that the workers
of the nation be permitted to buy
enough with their wages to main
tain health and efficiency, and
that there shall be no race be-
tween wages and prices, that is
initiation! Living costs must there
fore be rolled back to the stand
ards of frozen wages, and the
only wau to do fhis without ruin
