KEEP THE RECORDS CLOSED

KEEP THE RECORDS CLOSED
In Washington, and perhaps other
cities, the police complain because the
U. S. Employment Service will not dis
close the records of registrants who
are alleged to have criminal activities
spread upon the minutes, as it were.
Some newspapers criticize the serv-
ice for being obdurate and resisting
all sorts of pressure and insisting that
the law makes these records confden-
tial even to another government
agency.
Congress was wise in providing for
USES, social security and income tax
records to be absolutely confidential
1t is protection to which all citizens
are entitled. 1t is the only honest way
in which their business can be success
fully conducted.
If we let the bars down for any
reason, even in war time, it will be an
easy matter to let them down later

ageous, troops were too numerous
to be counted. Much of this equip
ment was knocked out and even yet
litters the Normandy shoreline. Al
ready the War Production Board has
sent out new orders for expansion of
tank production.
Radio equipment, produced in vast
quantities by American workers and
including many items still closely
guarded as military secrets, per-
formed effectively in the crucial bat
ties. Much more of this equipment,
which is high on the priority list, will
be required before final victory is won.
Millions of tons Of food, clothing
and medical supplies were delivered on
time to the beachheads. Naturally,
more supplies must be rushed in as
soon as they can be produced and
transported.
We have listed only few of the
many items which go to war with our
troops, items which are highly ex-
pendable and which must be replaced
promptly and in full measure if we
hope to defeat Hitler.
Prime Minister Church in Britain
predicts that this goal may be reached
before the end of the summer. We
hope and pray that this prophecy will
be as accurate as most of his past
forecasts. But as long as the fighting
continues-in Asia as well as in Eu-
rope-our armed forces will need the
precious equipment which labor is
producing in record breaking amounts
on the home front. And as long as
American soldiers and sailors neeo
supplies, it is up to labor to keep pro
ducing them steadily and surely.
i No matter how long it takes, the
workers of America intend to fulfil
this duty like the true soldiers Of pro
duction they have proved themselve!

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

DECENTLY our daily papers in
IN formed us that an ammunition ex-
plosion in Pearl Harbor killed 1877
service men and injured $50 others,
including 19 civilians May 21. The
same dispatch announced an explosion
on Oahu with 3 dead and Z missing.
The same week the House military
committee announced result of an in
vesigation which disclosed that army
officials had contracted for installation
of a communications system with a
German-born contractor, and that at
the time of the Pearl Harbor Jap pic
mic it was still unfinished.
Of course, it was still unfinished. If
it had been completed it probably
would have worked in reverse.
Hirohito must have LATED up his big
sleeves when he heard about that one.
Probably thinks if he waits long
enough those Americans will kill
themselves off.
When army officers and new COM
mentators condemn workmen in mu-
milton factories for striking for a day
or two they should keep in mind the
fact that organized labor was not re-
sponsible for the thousands who have
lost their lives in Hawaii

needed, we might we'll attempt to de-
scribe what hit the Germans on the
coast of France.
First was the greatest fleet of mill
tary aircraft ever assembled for an
offensive. Day and night, thousands Of
American and British bombers ham
mered the coastal defenses of the
Nazis, blasting gun emplacement and
Notifications and terrorizing Hitler's
picked troops who were assigned to
guard the beaches. And when the time
came to launch the attack, 1000
American and British planes were
thrown into the assault. In one day,
these planes flew $4,000 sorties, using
up thousands Of tons of bombs, count
less rounds of ammunition and vast
quantities of 100-octane gasoline.
This, mind you, was just a single days
operations. From now on Allied air
activity will be constantly stepped up.
Imagine how rapidly these air fleets
are going to eat up supplies!
The invasion itself was spearheaded
by another enormous feet of naval
vessels and supply ships. Landing

ers many laborious weeks to build,
were sunk or stranded in matter of
moments. Obviously, the Allied strate-
gy calls for more landings in the fu-
ture, bo.h in Europe and in the Pa
cific. Thus the production program
will have to be maintained at full
blast.
Far above the troop-laden ships
flew transport of the air, carrying
paratroopers who descended perilously
behind the Nazi lines to seize vital
bridges and roads and disorganize re-
sistance. These transports numbered
more than three times the total Of

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Now that the first flush of excite
ment over the invasion of Nazi-occu-
pied Europe has died down, it becomes
increasingly clear that the war has not
been won yet. Not by long shot.
Progress in the fighting along the
beachheads of Normandy has been
painfully slow, especially when o n e
regards the vast distances still to be
traversed before we can attack Hitler
in his own lair.
We voice these words of caution not
in respondent spirit but in an at
tempt to kill any wild rumors that
may be circulated among war workers
to the effect that the production pro-
gram is about to be cut away down.
Nothing could be further from the
truth.
The gigantic flood Of fighting equip
ment and supplies that has poured
from assembly lines in this country
to our bases in England during the
past two years is now in action against
Hitler's troops. According to des-
patches from the fighting fronts, the
impact of invasion already has de-
pleted these supplies. Much of ou1

of the invasion. All of it, the War De.

A postwar employment program,
described officially as reversing the
policy England has been following
fever since the industrial revolution
has been presented to Parliament. 1t
is well worth the study of Americans.
The program, designed to prevent
a postwar slump by maintaining jobs
rather than alleviating large-scale
unemployment, was unfolded in gov
ernment white paper. 1t was the latest
in a series of reconstruction plans La
Dor Minister Ernest Bevin said were
evolving "the framework on which
Britain can build up century of
progress"
Labor Minister Bevin and Lord
Woolton, reconstruction minister, said
the theory that unemployment could
be cured by lowering living standards
was being discarded. Organized labor
of course, has never supported this
theory.
They said the plan proposed:
1. A system of varying contribu
tions to a new social insurance plar
designed to influence volume of &
community's purchasing power ant
iron out variations in boomtime de
mand for goods;
2. Planned spending on public
works to be started to ward off unem
ployment rather than during unem
ployment peaks, and,
3. Concerted action between tn,
treasury and banks to influence vol
ume of capital expenditure by varia
tions in the interest rate.

WAGE KICKBACK IN OUR
CAPITOL

The rulers of the greatest democ-
racy in the world employ in their Capt.
tol children as page boys, and in order
to evade the child labor laws of the
District of Columbia they provide a
so-called school for them, so that their
education will not be neglected.
Federal laws stipulate what they
shall be paid for their work, and Sen
ators and Representatives are as
signed a certain number of them as
their patronage. The boys and their
parents use certain forms of influence
to accomplish appointments to these
soft jobs.
A week or so ago the mother of
one of these boys made affidavit that
her son, employed in the Office of Rep
resentative Richard M. Kleberg of
Texas, by law paid salary of 1929 a
month, was required to "kickback'
$39. In addition it was asserted that
these employees, for the privilege OF

ployers, are required TO perform extra

that this campaign year will give them
an opportunity to spread their poison

stances, they try to use the existing
political parties for their purposes; in
other cases they form pseudo-p political
organizations of their own in order to
attract the gullible.
Hatelers conceal their real aims In

die against the wisdom" of unions

legislation; and try to make the word

the public mind. Hatelers do this be-
cause they know that organized labor
has always been, and will continue to
be, a bulwark against the inroads of
fascism. They want to destroy the
power of labor but, of course, they are
too shrewd to admit it; on the con-
trary, they profess an ostensible love
for the working man."
Senator Robert R. Reynolds, who
recently declared his intention not to

however, who are only too anxious to
take up the job where he will leave

United States Senate. 1t is significant
that William Dudley Pelley, the lead
