How does your garden grow" is
not merely a nursery rhyme ques-
ton for Mary Quite Contrary, but
an important query for every Vic
tory gardener. since it is not spring
planting enthusiasm, but steady
care throughout the growing sea-
son that will help provide vege-
tables, and contribute to ultimate
victory on the food front. In fact,
the care given garden during the
summer and fall is SO important
that a special leaf1et dealing with
this subject has been prepared by
the welfare division of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company, in
cooperation with the National Vic
tory Garden Institute. The COM
pany will take special pains to put
it in the hands of gardeners every
where.

Security. The publication follows decision made
of the association and other interested experts,
to conduct an energetic campaign against expert
ence rating, which is opposed by organized labor.
Arguing that experience rating has not sue
ceeded in stabilizing employment, the pamphlet
that it effects no considerable saw

"But the most serious aspect of experience

the fund.- reduced through the operation of ex-
perience rating, will prove utterly inadequate to

WHY ARE THE daily newspapers, almost with

very few who control great wealth?
from the business office and not from the editorial
rooms. The men who contact the representatives
Of wealth, and who bring in the advertising, are
the men who write the ticket, who dictate what
shall be said, and what shall not be said, in news
and editorial columns. These advertising and
business specialists also draw down very much
larger salaries than do the men in the news and
editorial rooms They are the little brothers Of
the rich
Since The selfish control Of big business is
against higher wages, better hours and working
conditions, the newspapers are happy to adopt
the same policy. Oh, they conjure up other eX-
cuscS, they make a great case against all the
workers of America when an excuse is provided
by a small minority.
Newspapers are corporations. AS such, they
have stockholders. Many of these stockholders
have never done an honest days work in their
lives. But, stockholders cry for dividends; they
reward the men who bring in the heavy adVer-
tSing, and who neVer-nO, ncVer-otlend an ad-

That's why the daily press reacts so quickly

LABOR'S NEW WORLD

T ABOR TODAY can rise to its pinnacle Of true
IL greatness by showing men and women how to
build the new world they are fighting for.
Everybody is talking Of the new world after
the war, but few are showing the ordinary man
and his family their fighting part in it. We have
been getting the idea that almost overnight the
end of war will be the beginning OF new world OF
unselishness and brotherhood where all OF us VIII
be secure. But so far the postwar planners nave
not faced the fact that selfish human nature as
it is now will break up their finest plans Tor q
better postwar world.
Labor knows that we can produce paper plans
but in actual practice it will take people to make
them work Too many world conferences, labor
management committees, and even union meet
inqs have been broken up by suspicion and greed,
for labor to believe the new world Will come WITH.

we are to have confidence in, and fundamentally
work for plan for different world, we know 1T

the country has to be different

into effect of postwar bueprints will demand even
greater sacrifice from every single person IN the
nation than total war is now demanding. lotsi
war has compelled the nation to lace the TACT tlat
Democracys greatest strength and only hope lies
in a national philosophy Of teamwork. Sheer nee
essity has been forcing sefShneSs and preJudice

are seeing that selfishness, whether 1T be IN boss
or worker has no place in a conQuerng democ-
racy.
But peace will not mean that we cease to fight
the war against seIishness. We shall have to fight
this battle in every country we occupy rs well as
in our own. The dictatorship of FaSclSm must not

WALLACE ON ABUNDANCE

NOT THE LEAST important by any means Of
the points slammed home by Vice President
Wallace in his Detroit speech was this:
"If we are to mobilize peace production in the
service of all the people we must completely turn
away from scarcity economies"
Mr.. Wallace earlier in his speech called atten-
ton to the fact that year ago he had "cted the
four duties of the Peoples Revolution" as he saw
them, including 'the duty to produce to the limit.
There is every reason in the world why scare
ity economics should give way to the economies
of abundance and there is ample reason to be
grateful to a political figure who takes stand
for plenty.
When this war is over it will take all Of the
brains the world can produce to afford plenty for
q world SO largely in Wreckage, but world at
least strives for plenty and prospect of sue
cess will be much more quickly healed and brought
to sanity than world looking down an empty
rain barrel Of echoes which mock but do not feed
or clothe.
1t will take genuine courage to find way to
put buying power into the hands of those who will
be in need.
But whatever the hurdles on the way, progress
toward a goal of plenty will be achieved only under
leadership that sees the goal and is determined
to reach it.
Mr.. Wallace, marked as a dead political duck
by almost all Of those who know all about what is
going to happen-and to Whom-seemS to have a
clear head about where we want to be
going after the war.
