WORLD PEACE AND ORDER

EVEN A VERY casual review of United States
- history shows that we have been continuously
involved in every ma jor war between the nations
of Europe World peace has ever been ndivisible,
so that warfare in any area menaced the peace
of all.
Now in the midst of the most terrible and
destructive war the world has ever encountered,
we are making decisions that will determine
whether we shall continue to use as our
method of deciding issues between nations or
whether we shall unite with other countries to
develop and administer world law and order Such
world law and order must rest on the basic prin-
ciple of the dignity of the Individual, who has
spiritual as we'll as physical life Human rights
are derived from the fact that the individual must
decide his life in accord with moral standards.
Democratic countries accept human rights as
sacred; by uniting on world basis they can as
sure human rights on a world basis.
Only world order that assures human rights
of individuals and the groups through which they
seek better life can give us a lasting basis for
peace. Such an order would progress steadily
toward freedom for all and away from rule over
other peoples lives.
Experience shows that the use of police power
is an essential condition to maintenance of order
in any geographic division. This is equally true
Of international order
There is practically no disagreement on OBJ
iectves. The next step is to get agreement on
how to implement these objectives. Mutual con-
fidence and good faith help toward decisions that
will mean freedom for all peoples. While we can
not escape the consequences OF the mistakes OF the
past, the outbreak of civil war when arbitrary
rule is broken, can raise the torch of freedom
which alone can lift nations to higher levels of
living.
What is now desperately needed to clarity in
ternational planning is a clear fortnight state
ment of national foreign policy by the Congress
of the United States. That basic statement need
be only a formal statement of the responsibility
our nation feels for doing it's part in maintaining
peace between nations, with justice to all, and
the recognition that to this end we must partic-
pate in the development of agencies necessary to
maintain justice. The task ahead is so stupendous
and fateful that might hesitate if we did not
know destruction of our civilization by war is the
only alternative.
We look to Congress for wise deliberation and
speedy action, thus typifyng the cooperation of
all parties and branches of the government for the
nations best interests. Such basic policy will then
be the guiding control of all our international con-
ferences and relations. Congress is our policy
making agency and has this responsibility for
leadership

KAISER EXPLAINS WORKING
OF MEDICAL AID PROGRAM

New York City ULNS). - Almost
2,O0O,OOO patients have received treat
ment under the 5O-cents- week pre-
paid medical plan instituted for work
ers in his shipyardS, Henry J. Kaiser
said i'm an address here
Kaiser vigorously championed his
system over any form of Socialized
medicine, which he criticized for the
stigma of charity it introduces. 1T is
the right of free people, he declared,
ito pay for the services rendered them,
Prepaid medicine gives them that
right"
The shipbuilder described the four
hospitals now in operation on the West
Coast and said the system had been
expanded to keep step with the great
increase in manpower rolls, which had
increased from 5000 workers two
years ago to 100000.
Success of our undertaking is based
greatly on the care taken of our
workers health" Kaiser added. 1T is
estimated that the average cost per
patient is $50 per day. If it were nos
for the low cost plan, an ill employee

PRICE OF THE POLL TAX
(FrOm The Chicago SUM

SENATOR Danaher of Connecticut has stripped
|" away the mantle of cOnstitutionaty in which
the poll takers love to wrap themselves. He stole
the show at the final Senate Committee hearing
on the anti-poll tax bill by calmly suggesting that
it might be good idea, since the Constitution has
been so rapturously invoked, to enforce the 18th
amendment.
The consttutionality of the anti-po tax bill
has been upheld by many high authorities. TO
make it an issue is a stalling maneuver and moth
ing more. While the poll takers stall, however,
the 18th Amendment can be re-read with profit.
1t provides that when any state abridges the right
to vote Gas eight Southern states do by means Of
the poll tax its congressional representation shall
be reduced accordingly Strict enforcement of this
amendment demands that Congress cut down the
number of representatives elected by each poll tax
state.
In the 1912 election, Tennessee sent 10 repre-
SentatiVcs to Congress and Arkansas by vote of
only per cent of their populations. In Texas 4
per cent Of the people elected II congressman.
Virginia elected nine by vote of 3 per cent.
Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi together elected
26 congressman, but only per cent of their popu-
lations voted. In South Carolina per cent of the
people elected representatives.
TO this minority rule which makes mock of
democracy the poll tax politicians desperately
cling. If they block the anti-poll tax bill at this
session, why should they not pay the constitu-
tional prce-a reduction of their influence in the
federal government?

TAXATION MINUS REPRESENTATION

SENATE Committee scheduled Dec. 7 for hear
- ing on bill to permit residents of Washing
ton d. c., to elect municipal officials, albeit under
supervision Of Congress. And if and when elected
(Which is not likely) they will perform their
duties under the same supervision.
In Washington citizens only pay taxes. Real
estate tax is | per cent on 100 per cent valuation
That means if your home is worth $4,000 you pay
$50 year tax. And you pay it.
OF course, all federal property is tax exempt
which amounts to about 80 per cent Of the area
of the District Of Columbia. And 40 per cent is
water In addition, all church property, and prop
erty of other nonproft organizations is exempt.
But the little people pay taXes-and do not
vote.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

An underground Dutch newspaper
received in England reported that ii.
J. Woudenberg, leader Of the Dutch
Nazi Labor Front, recently addressed
a meeting of bee keepers in the prov
ince of Overijssel. Why labor leader
should interest himself in the gather
ing of honey and wax was not stated ;
perhaps Woudenberg felt that the
Dutch bees, like the Dutch laborers,
had fallen down on their jobs and
needed stern measures to bring them to
task.
When the "leader" had ended his
speech, he asked whether there We're
any questions. A very old man rose
and intimated that he agreed with
Woudenberg: there should be better
organization and cooperation among
bee keepers.
But there is one thing Mijnheer
Woudenberg must not forget" the old
man added. "As good bee keepers we
all know that when the queen is not in
the hive, the bees refuse to work.
Therefore, the Queen must return first
of all"
This veiled reference to the absence
of Queen Wilhelmina, who fled HOl-
land at the time of the Nazi invasion,
was. received with unconcealed delight
by the bee keepers.
Populaire, the underground paper of
the French Socialist party, in develop
ing proposals for the internal recon
struction of France, makes the follow
ing observations on the German prob
lem:
with regard to the German prob
lem the Socialist party completely re-
jects the idea of vindictive peace
directed against the German people
But, on the other hand, they
realize that Nazism, for whose de-
velopment the Western powers bear a
duced generation of young monsters
who must be re-educated. Germany
must feel the consequences Of the vic
tory of the demOcracieS and must be
made to realize that aggression does
not pay.
THE German military machine must
be destroyed, support must be taken
away, the estates of the Junkers must
be socialized, but all this must be
effected without dividing up Germany,
whose unity cannot be denied. "A fed
eral regime in Germany must be set
up to prevent the domination of the
Prusian spirit and there must be a
control of their political institutions
and of their public education.
"The destruction of the German
military machine must be the first step
towards the general reduction of arma
ments The necessary restrictions on
German sovereignty are likely to cause
difficulties which can only be over
come if the other countries are also
ready to accept far-reaching limita
tiOnS of their own sovereignty.
The idea of dividing up Europe
amongst two or three big powers must
be rejected. All nations, even the most
powerful must give up large part of
their sovereignty. So far as Russia is
concerned, the Socialist party con
Siders that no international community
is possible without her collaboration
on a basis of equality, loyalty and
mutual confidence

spun around and faced the bed
again. Hey, your he barked at DR..
Hill. What are you doing ?"
Merely examining this cotton.
Do you object?"
Agatha had walked into the room
beside the college president and
was staring down in horror and fas-
cination at the bloody sheet. That
was Otto's blood-the blood OF the
man who once had loved her.
Get out of here, all of you! I
don't want this room messed up.
The door across the hall opened
and a sleepy young man in paja-
mas, with a puzzled expression on
his face, emerged. He saw the wom-
en-, his eyes popped open-and he
jumped back to shelter.
Modest young man." observed
Agatha in a voice she tried to make
sound nonchalant. As shs-spoke to
keep her companions eyes on her
fingers, she was stuflng another
piece Of absorbent cotton up the
sleeve OF her coat There was no
blood on this one.
DR.. Hill was talking to himself.
Il can't understand. Why would the
murderer try to soak up the blood
on that bed? Perhaps there is some
other reason :"
Estelle broke in. Poison! That's

DR.. Hill stroked his goatee. But
enough poison to drip on the bed
enough so that the murderer tried
to soak it up with absorbent cot
ton? Preposterous.
The poison would be on the

on the bed sheet"

examined the knife, but did not
touch it. I'll swear IL hasn't been
