Our Common
Interests
BY RUTH TAYLOR

War has brought about the kinship
of common SUFFERING. But when the
war clouds have been swept aside and
peace once more reigns on earth, will
there be unity-the same unity as i'm
time of trouble?
Common suffering has welded to-
gether people of different nati0nalities
as though they were members of the
same family. Common aims have
bound together people of different
faiths. Common ambitions have co
ordinated the actions of people of
different backgrounds.
VIII we now let rival ambitions
separate US? Common ambition is
working together toward the same goal
IA prize which will be shared. Rival
ambition is striving for goal which
must be seized for the benefit of one
and the detriment of the other.
After all, what does common mean?
According to the dictionary it is usual,
average, regular, and pertaining to or
participated in by all There must be
in democracy. AS Victor Olander
said, The foundation of unity is the
equality of status of the citizens" In
short, if law is to be effective 1t must
be applied always, everywhere and to
all.
We have learned from bitter expert
ence that to be truly free, men must
have the assurance Of all alike of an
opportunity to work as free men in
the company Of free men. No man can
be confident in perpetuity Of his own
safety unless and until every man,
woman and child is equally safe.
If we are to fulfill our duty as
Americans in the trying days ahead,
we must, without setting aside any of
our individual rights, work together
in our community or communal life,
to carry out the ideals of democracy,
to see to it that there are opportunities
for each man to advance according to
his talents and abilities, to extend
friendly hand to those who need help,
to keep the laws which we ourselves
have made. yv.faith behind democ-
racy can foster the common virtues
which are necessary for self govern
ment and for the preservation of our
unity.
Centuries ago Euripdes stated it
thus:
Look to the things Of Go.
Know you are bound to help all who
are WrOnged,
Bound TO c0nstrain all who destroy
the law.
What else holds state to state save
this alone.
That each one, hohors the great laws
of right.
We have done this in war; We must
do it in peace.

Let Smull Plunts
ReConvert First,
Chuirrndn Urges
Opinion Expressed BY Nav
erick In Bi-MonthlY Re-
port To Congress

Washington, ID. G. S).--Maury
Maverick, chairman of the Smaller
War Plants Corporation declares small
plants should be permitted to recon
vert promptly to civilian production as
war orders are finished or cancelled,
without waiting for large plants to fill
their contracts.
In a bi-monthly report to Congress,
Maverick said that small plants could
not wait until the larger plants had
finished their war orders before civil
ian production is put under way, and
many would face bankruptcy
Maverick said that he had found
little businesses everywhere worried
about the future" Their perplexities,
he added, included differences in
freight rates, recent infiuxes of popu-
lation and new industries.
Emphasizing that he favored the re-
sumption of civilian production 'only
where it does not harm war effort" ;"
Maverick told Congress that small
businesses We're the hardest hit in the
war procurement program, were easier
to convert and that their use of critical
materials was relatively small.
He demanded that small business
"be given an equal oportunity with
large business to obtain surplus war
foods and industrial facilities
Mavericks position on reconversion
of small plants is substantially that
of the American Federation of Labor
which has frequently urged a square
deal for small business in the letting
of war contracts and in the change
over from war to peace production.

French Labor

almost nothing by the Nazis; French
industrial machinery has aged &c
years during the last four years of
German pressure; French luxury
trades have been at a standstill and
will need reviving.
Among other points made by Sail
liant during the interview were:
Salaries during the occupation went
up about Is per cent and the cost of
living more than 200 per cent. Salaries
should be increased Immediately by sc
per cent to meet the worst of this
inequality which is causing real hun
ger among many workers.
Owners and managers who were col
laborationists should be arrested and
tried He said that there are many in
this class.
Factories engaged I'm war work
requisitioned, a least for the present
emergency, by the French Provisional
Government and administrators in
stalled to control profits and direct
administration.
The Government should nationalize
Frances mines, electric power, the
chemical industry, the steel industry,
the insurance companies. The country s
banks should be strictly controlled by
the Bank of France which should be
nationalized
Indemnities should be paid to the
shareholders of these industries. In the
case of collaborationists, their holdings
should be appropriated by the nation.
Holding companies through which
trolled by small group of men should
be broken up.

Re-MunufuctureOf
Tdnks Tuking Place
T Thousands Of Damaged
Tdnks Being Repaired
Under Program


Washington. Re-manufacture OF
thousands of damaged tanks is the
major feature of large scale re
clamation program under which the
Ordnance Department of Army Serv-
ice Forces expects to return to active
duty high proportion of ordnance
equipment worn out or damaged in
battle or in training, the War Depart
ment reports.
Tank production, once cut back, is
now high on the priority list, both be
cause of losses i'm France and because
the open terrain of the new battle
fields permit greater use of armor.
The Ordnance Department is plan
ming the re-manufacture of approx
mately 1900 Ma General Sherman
medium tanks and $50 Mo light tanks
before January. Those $3.50 tanks,
completely rebuilt and in every way
equal to new tanks, will be in addition
to the tanks produced under the in
creased production schedules. All re-
cent notifications will be Incorporated.
Rebuilding operations are being car
ried out by International Harvester
Corp, Chrysler Motor Co, American
Locomotive Co, and American Car q
Foundry Co., as well as ordnance
depots at Chester, Pa; Rock Island,
H.; Lima, Ohio; Richmond, Calf; !;
Bencia Arsenal, Calf; Tooele, Utah /;
Admission, Ala, and Watevliet Arsenal,
n. Y.
Second major phase of the reclama-
tion program was establishment OF
five new Returned Materiel Centers at
Twin Cities Ordnance Depot, Mime
apolis, Mimi. Salt Lake City Ord
nance Depot, Utah; st. Louis Ord
nance Depot, Mo- Admission Ordnance
Depot, Ala; and the Cressona Ord
nance Depot at Pottsvile Pa.
The centers are designed to reclaim
and salvage material returned from
overseas, and to place as much Of this
material as possible back into Army
stocks Big monetary savings are eX-
pected, and wide variety of critical
items and vital parts for complex ma
chimes, unobtainable otherwise, will be
made available. Substitution of these
reclaimed items will relieve manufac-
turers Of some of the burden Of new
production and release manpoWer for
other war manufacture, according to
the War Department.
The major part of the material
which has passed through the centers
thus far has been salvaged from posts,
camps and stations within the United
States, but the flow OF material from
North Africa England and the Pacilic
Is expected to increase sharply In the
near future.
The centerS are processing approXi-
mately 10000 tons IL month. Twin
Cities alone has handled Is carloads
in the past few weeks, although oper-
ating with only 200 of the 600 workers
ii eventually will require.

Labor Pruised By
Gen. Eisenhower

Washington. ID. C.--One of the most
extraordinary tributes ever paid to
American labor was broadcast to
America by General Dwight ID. Eisen-
hover, supreme allied commander in
Europe.

its climax and the invasion of Nazi
time out for radio broadcast to the
workers of this country in which he
glowingy extolled the job they had
done to accelerate victory over Hitlers
armies.
From this battlefront" he said,
American fighting troops send their
grateful thanks TO the workers of
America for having made this the best
equipped fighting force i'm all history.
In this expression of our gratitude
The British units include in their cate.
CORY of weapons many which you have
produced. The French divisions are
equipped exclusively with the products
of your toll and skill.
Each of you justly shares in the
credit for the tremendous successes the
United Nations have gained ON this
important front
Eisenhower voiced confidence that
the workers will continue TO break
records in production and that at no
time will there have to be Il halt in
the pace of the Allied offensive because
of any shortages in ammunition.
THE possibility of such failure on
your part does not even enter into my

and belief in the American fighting

belief in you who, from your homes,

Return to the 40-hour week and
ending of overtime after the war will
mean a loss of ~ billion dollars in
workers buying power. And it is
anticipated that the trend toward
higher prices will carry over into the
postwar period. So we cannot count
on an increase in buying power due to
lower prices"
Then the federation emphasizes that
unless wage rates are raised now,
workers buying power will be Is to
