EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
HOLDS MEETING

Philadelphia. - The Exec iv e
Council of the American Federation
of Labor will hold it's Spring meeting
here at the Adelphia Hotel beginning
May 1.
The Council decided to come to this
city because the international Labor
Organization is in session here and
several of the top AFL officials are
serving as advisers at the LILO con-
ference.
Furthermore it is expected that the
Executive Council may take advant-
age of the opportunity to act immedi-
ately in support of some of the major
recommendation of the LILO meeting
on the establishment of conditions
making for void security and lifting
of labor standards.
The Executive Council will devote
most of it's two-week session to the
consideration of policies designed to
| help America and the United Nations
win the war in the shortest possible
time.
1t is also expected that the Council
will seek to strengthen and implement
the non-partisan policy of the Fedora
tion in the coming national campaign.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

European children will be crippled for
life, and if food is not Forthcoming
soon, the future destiny of these oc-
cupied nations will be CHASTITY beyond
words"
Fish said that in the last war Her.
bert Hoover fed 100000 Belgians
without pound of food reaching the
German This led Rep Edith Nourse
Rogers of Massachusetts to remark:
"Why not ask former President
Hoover to feed the hungry children
again? He did a good job then"
The Fish resolution asks that the
Secretary of State work out plan
for distributing food in the war-rav-
aged countries with the help Of Great
Britain, Switzerland and Sweden. Bel
gian, Norway, Poland and other ma
tions have the money to pay for the
food and have specifically requested
such help, the resolution says.

Howard E. Kershner, chairman of the
Temporary Council on Food for Eu-
ropes Children, 70 Fifth Avenue
New York City, has appealed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to "star the mercy
ships before it is too late"
DR.. Kershner, who was until re-
Gently director of Quaker Relief ir
Europe, declared it was important te
get food to the children of occupied
Europe before the invasion because
the ensuing military operations woule
destroy all means of communication
and make it impossible to get food tx
the children for some time
The American Federation of Labor
Executive council, at its Januar!

and said that it was Strongly of tn,

ately."

COMPLETE CONTROL

Military authorities appear deter
mined to take over every function of
government of our nation but seem to
have struck a snag in the Military
Affairs Committee of the House,
which has turned down their demand
for labor draft.
Military officials-we call them
brass hats-seem to believe that mis-
takes can be covered up by extending
their jurisdiction, by demanding more
power over our people, They want
complete authority to do as they
please with everything and every
body And that is the Hitlerian, Prus-
sian system we want nothing to do
with.
The American people-the workers
and industrialists - have supplied
military authorities with all the men
they can use, with all the planes,
tanks, guns and ammunition they can
use, but we have not yet reached the
point where we can believe the Mill
tary with capital M is the goal of
success. This government was not
LnI -
and military brass hats seem to be
the same all over the world.
The people of America don't forget
what happened at Pearl Harbor. The
Japanese there stole a march not on
the American people but on our mill
tary experts. More than 5000 people
and millions of dollars in equipment
were destroyed there on December r,
1941, which enabled the enemy to con-
quer the Pacific area. And the cam
paign in Italy is no monument to the
ingenuity of our military experts.
We are now giving them all the
money they can use, all the men they
can train, and all the ammunition
they can burn. Let 'em show US some
results before they demand that the
entire nation be placed in their
charge.

his entire cabinet and also on telling
US what to think now and afterward.
Fortunately, however, we have in
this country outstanding citizens who
realize that the daily newspapers and
industrial tycoons have not always
been omnipotent in their advice and
have not always led us in the right
path. The memorable year 1929 is still
remembered, and what happened then
will always be monument to the
dumbness of the Cat that time) rulers
of our nation.
The New York conference of Off
cials of labor, industry and govern
ment few weeks ago was attended
by men and women who realize here
is a Job to be done when the war ends,
and they contributed to a program

this country but all over the world to
get enough to eat and keep roof
over their heads.
Countries across the Atlantic, no.
table Britain, also-even in the midst
of Nazi bombs-are looking in the
same direction, and it is to be hoped
that a worldwide plan for the better
ment of all peoples will emerge not
after Hitler is destroyed but will be
in working order Immediately when
needed. 1t took us a year to convert to
war production, but we just can't af-
ford year of idleness in getting back
on our feet. Our people will need
work then as much as our fighting
forces need war materials now.

MOT much publicity was given in
IN the daily press to the recent
unanimous passage by the House OF
Representatives of a resolution urg-
ing the State Department to use its
influence to relax the blockade to per-
nit sending of food to the hungry
women and children of German-occu-
pied nations.
Representative Hamilton Fish of
New York introduced the resolution,
which may explain why it got scant
mention For years, bitter campaign
has been conducted by many news
papers and radio writers and COM
mentators against Fish and they don't
want him to have credit for anything
that is likely to meet with popular
approval, such as his resolution on
feeding Europe. Incidentally, it may
be mentioned that despite all efforts
to defeat Fish, the people of his dis
trict have continued to reelect him
with great regularity, by substantial
majorities.
Approval of Representative Fish's
resolution completed Congress ap,

FARMERS FEEL THAT
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

Farmers worried about securing Sorely
needed new equipment for use in seed
ing, cultivating and harvesting of this
years crops will be interested in the
schedule Of farm machinery ALLEGATIONS
to twelve European countries prepared
by the United Nations Relief and Rehabi-
litation Administration.
This schedule, inserted in the Congress
sional Record for March 3, 1914, page
2219, by Congressman Calvin Johnson of
Illinois, lists over $4,000 items of ma
chinery to be distributed as part of the
2la billion dollar program of UNRRA,
about which Congressman John Phillips
has been telling us periodically, to which
the United States contributes more than
half.
Items to be distributed are rationed in
the United States. Included are 10000
tractors, some to be sent to areas of the
world where they have never been seen
before and where fuel will have to be
provided by the donor. Other items in
clude $4,000 plows, 10000 mowers, 80
600 separators, 3770 threSherS, 22,9OO
rakes, 10000 harrows, $500 reapers, l0,-
900 cultivators, etc. The machinery is
set aside for delivery August l or after.
Most of it will be "after" because it is
all for countries still under nazi control.
UNRRA officials point out that the
more help. machinery, ETC., given these
countries the less food the United States
will have to give them. Members of con-
gress have raised the objection that no
farm machinery should be frozen for
foreign ALLEGATION when it is so badly
needed on American farms.
In an editorial describing the serious
need for many more tractors on Okla
homa farms than have been allotted to
that state the Enid Morning News said:
"Oklahoma farmers as a whole re-
sponded last fall to the demands of the
government to plant added acres to
wheat As result, they put in total
of 5,130,000 acres as compared to $780,
900 acres for the 1943 crop. Is Washing
ton going to allow this added acreage
to 90 unharvested and to be wasted sim
ply because it can not or will not get
the farm machine output up to minimum
promises at time when steel and other
necessary metals are becoming surplus
commodities? The answer had better be
forthcoming soon unless the crop pro-
gram is to fail, miserably and tragically,
and through no fault of the farmers"

gresham Wright Patman of Texar-

Treasury Department sold surplus

10000 pieces of the same items at

Such things naturally make tax
payers sore, but amounts involved
here are relatively small change in
comparison to the figures in the
first major deal which crossed Ad-
ministrator Clayton's desk-sale by
the Maritime Commission for $780,
600 of 40 acres of government land
formerly part of an 800-acre tract
occupied by the San Jacinto ship
yards at Houston, Tex, for builc-
ing concrete barges. Because the
Maritime Commission and Defense
Plant Corporation had sunk some
S8,3O0,0OO in the concrete venture,
it can be argued that the govern
ment took an $8,10O,0O0 loss. Ac-
tually, the Maritime Commission
had previously written off most of
its $8,300,000 as war loss already
incurred just as though the barges
had been built and sunk, and it sold
the 40 acres, which with improve
ments were appraised at S185,000
for 100000.
