Of Labor, was chairman OF the panel
entitled "How can we hold food prices
down.
Other questions under discussion in
panel groups were:
"How well is our food distribution
system working?"
Chow is the war worker feeding
himself and his family?"
"How can we make the best use Of
our food in wartime and after the
war;"
"How can we step up home pro-
duction and conservation of food?"
"Can the consumer help to get
maximum production?
"What can we do to help supply
the food needs of our allies and the
liberated peoples. ?"
Answers to these questions worked
out in a truly democratic fashion by
the members of this conference are
contained in the Report of the Ma
tional Consumers Food Conference
published by Food For Freedom, 1907
H Street, N. W. Washington, D. c.
At the close of the conference Vice
President Wallace spoke to a mass
meeting of more than seven thousand
war workers. He said: "Let US not
be afraid of postwar abundance, of
so-calIed 'surpluses.' To supply all
our people with an adequate diet in
normal times would require forty
million more acres in cultivation. The
United Nations Food Conference
found that the world needs twice as
much food as it has. Those who now
fear abundance are defeatist who as
sumo that our postwar national in
come will drop; they assume depres-
sion, hunger and final defeat in the
effort to free ourselves and the world
from want"

President Moreschi recently broad
cast comprehensive summary Of
facts about the Laborers' Union which
has been favorably received through
out the nation.
Among many facts developed were:
The organization was founded in
1903 and has grown to 500 locals
with about third of a million mem
bers; greatest possible autonomy con-
sistent with constitutional require
ments is granted local unions; COM
plete financial statements have been
rendered every quarter since 1908;
over $4,000 members are serving in
the armed forces; facts about the
union, financial and others, are al
ways available to the public; the
union has sound record of reliability
and progressive cooperation with
other groups, with employers and in
all patriotic endeavors.
Moreschi appeared as an invited
guest of Albert n. Dennis on the
535th weekly broadcast of his Labor
News Review" said to be the worlds
oldest labor radio program, which
also has the highest rating in its
field.

NUTRITION AND LABOR
FOOD FOR FREEDOM

Food For Freedom was formed by
group Of citizens from various
walks of life who believed that a
democratic organization composed of
farmer, labor and consumer repre-
sentatives was needed to work toward
a sound national food policy. The
keynote of progressive thinking on
the food problem and the goals to-
ward which we strive were stated at
the United Nations Food and Agri-
culture Conference as follows: Free
dom from want means a secure, an
adequate and suitable supply of
food for every man."
World food needs are much greater
than world food supply. Everyone
does not have enough food to eat yet.
But with the vast improvement in our
scientific methods of production, it
is not impossible to look forward to
the day when there may be enough
for all. One big obstacle is the prob
lem of distribution. How can we move
the food from the places where it is
in abundance, where there are sur
pluses, to the places where people are
in great need? How can we prevent
the breakdown of distribution that
has resulted in the destruction of food
and the curtailment of crops to hold
up prices?
A real solution to these problems
cannot be found just at home. Since
the modern development of speed and
volume of transportation the world
has become one unit, or zone World"
as Wendell Willkie called it. We are
citizens of the world as well as
Americans, and economic security for
others brings economic security to US.
We must work toward a solution of
these problems on an international
basis if we are to make permanent
progress.
Food For Freedom called a Ma
tional Consumer Food Conference in
Cleveland, Ohio, to lay the facts be-
fore the consumers of America and
to create a better understanding of
Vic part Iiic3 Pidy III swapping oui I'D
tional and international food policy.
Representatives of eighty-seven ma
tional organizations including the
American Federation of Labor took
part. The conference was divided up
into working groups trying tc find
answers to the many important ques-
tions Mr.. Boris Shishkin, able econo-
mist from the American Federation

dissatisfied with these practices.
"Now as to the Little Steel formula
itself. Our people feel that the gov
ernment has not kept faith with them.
At the beginning of this war, as
Secretary Meany has so well and ably
stated, our representatives were call
ed in conference. The President in a
very solemn tone, and his representa-
tives, made known to our spokesmen
the critical situation due to the
threatening war. He asked their COM
plete cooperation and they gave it to
him without moments hesitation
and they did rightfully in my judg-
ment. understand Q was not there)
they were given assurance that in
consideration for surrendering the
right to strike that our movement
would in no manner, shape or form be
impeded in our, logical objectives.
"What has happened? The Little
Steel formula has enabled the en-
ployers through ungrading of their
inferior product to be sold at ceiling
prices and at tremendously increased
values highly profitable to themselves.
And the working people plead only
for square deal to meet the increase
in the cost of living.
In answer they say that the take
home pay is more than sufficient to
meet the increase in the cost of liv
ing. The take-home pay is what it is
because our people were told that if
they would strive diligently, if they
would work overtime long hours, work
to the point Of fatigue and exhaustion
in order to meet the demands of the
war, they could expect this premium
pay of time and a half Or double time.
They accepted that. They wholeheart-
edly and patriotically carried on in
that direction and now it seems to
me the government is unfair in TAX
ing advantage of these workers, be-
cause they are taking home more
pay, only because they are taking it
out of their hides and using up energy
and working to the point of fatigue
and exhaustion, as | previously
stated. 1t is not in accordance with
the understanding that they had, if
they would subject themselves to that
suffering and privation, that this
would be used against them when
they asked for a square deal, chance
to come abreast of the cost of living.

one it we can prevent 1t.
Green's address was made in reply
to a speech by Arthur Horner, fra
ternal delegate from the British
Trades Union Congress and mem
ber of the British Communist party
for 21 years.
Warns OF Trade Fight
Horner deplored the possibility of a
fight between Britain and America
and Canada and other nations for "a
static volume of world trade" after
the war as "ruinous" and said that
such a conflict and it's consequences
could be forestalled by proper plan
ming in the utilization of our re-
sources
To plan properly, he continued,
there must be genuine democratic
control in which the trade unions play
a leading part together with the gov
ernments, so that restrictions of out
puts, and the fixation of prices by
great interlocking trusts and corpora
tions can be prevented.
Horner said that the British unions
were not only interested in unity
among states with different social
systems but also favored "a united
trade movement in every country on
a worldwide scale" This, he felt,
was a guarantee of peace, for 1t
would prevent employers setting one
union against another and the work
ers of one country against another.
Green Hits Slavery Policy
"This is why the British Trades
Union Congress has taken the deci-
sion to convene world trade union
conference at the earliest possible
moment" he declared. at is not
enough to leave the world problems
for governments alone to solve. 1t IS
our business"
In reply, Green said that the war
was being fought "to end totali-
tarianism and human slavery"
"We are fighting war to make
men free," he said. "For that reason
we of the AFL are unwilling to sup
port policy that in effect would con-
tinue human slavery when the war is
won."
Turning to Horner's reference to
the labor conference, Green said that
such meeting should properly have
been called by the international Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, in which the
AFL is represented. The federation
has refused to attend the meeting,
set for JAMS, in London.
Horner said after the close of the
convention session that sit is not our
intention than any German labor shall
be utilized in England. We are con-
cerned about the devastated areas Of
Poland, Russia and Czechoslovakia.
"Our idea is not to enslave German
labor, but to arrange for the use OF
German manpower to work under
international | a bor understandings
guaranteeing wages, hours and work
ing conditions. 1t is not our intention
to have a million slaves nor is that
the Russian view, either"
