The CIo Political Action Com

is the only thing that could defeat
President Roosevelt for reelection

gress, is concentrating its efforts on
getting out q large vote November

Robert Carey. CIo secretary

Patriotic Motive
Len H. De Caux, CIo public re-

local branch of the American Public
Relations Association at the Wash

primary aim Of the PAC is to edu-
cate the American people on their
rights as voters, and to try to get
them to register and vote.
THAT is 4 patriotic motive with
which all will agree-Democrats
more than Republicans" Mr.. d.
Caux said.
Both speakers pointed to the din
Guilty facing millions Of workers In
exercising their voting rights be-
cause of the tremendous shifting o1
labor to centers of war production

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-15
The Front i'm Detroit

THE war in Europe appears to be
Il approaching its climax and, as the
intensity of the fighting increases,
the consumption of munitions in
creases inevitably also.
ALI the vast array of war mate
riel must be thrown into the conflict
without limit and used With-no
thought but the immediate and i'm
placable needs of battle.
Unhappily at this time, when the
CONSUMPTION of war materiel is
increasing enormously, the PRO
DUCTION of war materiel is de-
creasing.
That calls for immediate action in
Detroit.
Detroit is perhaps the principal
arsenal from which our fighting
forces draw their weapons and mu-
nitions.
Yet workers are reported leaving
some Detroit war plants faster than
they can be replaced and work stop
pages, due to labor disputes, fire.
quOHIAy AAUOlA UPI PAOuuCVloH'
The result, of course, is inevita-
BILE: LESS PRODUCTION.
v
T ESS PRODUCTION, when the
IL military forces require this in
slant and tomorrow and the next day,
more and more of everything that
Detroit manufactures for war.
That is not empty rhetoric 1t is
grim fact.
For instance, the army right now
needs 137 heavy artillery shells for
every 100 it needed few weeks
ago.
1t needs 131 heavy duty trucks
for every 100 it needed two months
ago.
1t needs more jeeps and small
arms ammunition and anti aircraft
guns, and planes and tanks and
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-15

everything else because every imagi.
nable type of equipment is being ex-
pended at vastly accelerated rate
and must be replaced at least at the
same rate if the march to victory is
to continue unimpeded.
It simply is inconceivable that
men and women workers in Detroit
war factories would quit the produc-
tion line for strikes or any other
reason if they actually realized the
seriousness of the situation.
WHY then do they permit slow
w downs in production?
Because, apparently, they feel the
war is almost over.
Well, it is not.
There is no such thing as an
almost war.
The war must be fought with
steadily rising fury and destructive
ness up to the very moment the last
shot is fired.
1t can be fought that way only if
the armed forces are abundantly pro
vided with everything they need in
fighting gear.
Accordingly, Detroit war facto-
ries play an indispensable part in the
battle for Germany, in the Philippine
invasion, in the assault upon Japan.
And those who man our war
plants have an obligation to stay on
the production job, exactly equal to
the obligation of our fighting men to
stay on the firing line and shoot.
The war must be won in Germany
and in the far Pacific, but it's winning
can be delayed in Detroit.
1t will be delayed and men will
die who need not have died, unless
Detroit war workers keep their jobs
and settle their labor disputes with
out wartime strikes.

I DO not agree that compilers

disclose no more editorial skill

No, so far from viewing these

Mr.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,
WYNTOON McCLOUD, CALIFORNIA
DEAR MR. HEARST:
ON BEHALF Of the American Red Cross blood
~ donor center in Brooklyn we wish to express
our appreciation in recognition of the very spen-
did and generous cooperation the executives and
employees of the New York Journal American are
giving us in our drive for blood donors
We are particularly grateful for the untiring
work of Mr. Dick Kingsbury, who is acting as
blood donor chairman in this present drive
We have also received outstanding co-opera-
ton from Mr. T. E. J. Crowley, business manager,
Mr.. John Newton, Brooklyn editor, and Mr.. Paul
Schoenstein, city editor.
The knowledge that the blood which you and
the employees of the Journal American have en-
abed us to collect will be the means of saving the
lives of many unknown servicemen on some battle
front of this war, will provide you with deeper
source of satisfaction than any recognition we
may give you We want you to know, however,
that without such help the Red Cross would be
unable to continue in this life saving program.
MRS. WILLIAM w. LASKER JR.
Director, Blood Donor Service.

Aviation Week

MICHIGAN Aviation Week, now
A'A entering It's final phases, has
been a great success. 1t has brought
to Detroit outstanding leaders of the
industry, as Glenn L. Martin and
Ralph Damon, and has won a ready
response from Detroiters who have
flocked by thousands to the various
meetings honoring the occasion.
At the same time, it has served to
focus the spotlight on Detroit's first
need to become great airline center,
an adequate airport Without taking

ton upon the customer through
juries made up OF double domed
mugs of some literary repute
on their own account who may
or may not have read the books
they endorse.
On the contrary, consider
the publishers quite honorable
and certainly most essential If
only because they provide the
stocks that keep hundreds of
dealers in old books going. an
industry that is now almost as
large as the original business
since the public has discovered
that in these times of fuel scar
city some old books are value
less for reading purposes but
excellent as fuel.

tion of the inadequacy of the present
airport.
THE Aero Club of Michigan again
Il has sponsored Michigan Aviation
Week. 1t deserves much credit for
this leadership. Perhaps this leader
ship will serve as an example to
others to solve the problem of a
bigger and better airport which will
make Detroit what Ralph Damon
predicted for 1.-THE greatest indus

America Is SIeepWaIking!

IS A LII socialism involves slavery"
"A Herbert Spencer in "The
Coming Slavery"
All indications today point to the
victory of the Allies in Europe, but
the defeat of individualistic democ-
racy.
Socialism is on the march in every
country in Europe, including Eng
land.
The difference between socialism,
communism and nazism is negligible,
for remember that the official name
of political Russia is Union of Soviet
SOCIALIST Republics and the name
of Hitler's party (the Nazis) is the
National SOCIALIST Party.
There is not in Europe single
movement discernible for the per-
petuation Of democracy as we under
stand it in the u. S. A.

socialism in Europe inevitable, even
where unwanted.
"The facts as they are seen here
are: Russia is completely sOcialized
country; Britain, although still
theoretically capitalist, has accumu-
lated so many debts, lost SO much
trade and hypothecated so many
overseas investments during the war
that nothing but controlled collective
action over long term of years can
put her on her feet; and private
ownership in Europe has been SO
confused and compromised by the
Nazis and their cOllabOratOrs that
European governments are being
forced to take over large segments
of it,"
