Iwhat our soldiers shall return to and the sort OF
lives all of citizens shall live for at least the
next two decades.
Having in mind the suffering and the losses
that would follow mass unemployment, the Ameri-
lean Federation of Labor asked for an answer to
these basic questions early last Spring Now a
huge change-over lies ahead of us. 1t will mean
dislocation for at least half of our work force
while half of production facilities are made
ready for civilian production The time needed for
|reconversion might be few weeks, few months
|Or two years.
Wage-earners must have current incomes to
keep up normal living State unemployment COM
pensation laws are not designed to take care OF
such an emergency. They do not cover all the
people that are laid off; nor would they provide
benefits until workers could get jobs again. They
certainly would provide only most meagerly for
subsistence needs.
Meanwhile when industries got under way and
were ready to sell new supplies of refrigerators,
automobiles, radios, ct cetera would the market
be such that they would Immediately cut plans
for production and lay off workers? That is why

this fact into effect by raising the wage rates
before we go into reconversion.

UNIONISM IS FOUNDATION

OF THE things needed to build up democratic
postwar world, strong labor unions are con-
dition number one, according to Professor Eduard
c. Lindelman of the New York School of Social
Work, Columbia University, speaking at the re-
cent convention of the American Labor Confer
ence on international Affairs in New York.
To be strong, labor union needs an active and
alert membership leaders who can stand in the
public forum and defend the rights of labor with
out apology, and truly democratic relationship
between leaders and membership, Professor Lin
deman said. with such unions" he asserted, 1--WE
may face the future with the assurance that the
will of the people will be heard in the councils of
nations"
Professor Lindeman urged that labor formu-
late plans for a postwar world Immediately, and
suggested that the workers postwar aims should
be definite and concrete If the workers fail to
meet these conditions, if they cannot make up
their minds about the kind of world they want to
be established after the war; the "opportunistic
politicians and tired diplomats" will do it for
them, but bit differently from the common
mans dreams, Professor Lindeman said.
IF The peoples war is not followed by a
peoples peace, he warned, ''vengence will be let
loose upon the land"

LIBERTIES UNION HITS DELAY
ON PERMANENT FEPC BILL

New York City (ILNS).-Backing
the movement for the permanent estab-
ishment of the Fair Employment
Practice Committee, the American
Civil Liberties Union has addressed
kilograms to members of the House
and Senate urging them to complete
hearings on the FEPC bill which had
been postponed until after election.
The kilograms said in part, This
important legislation is of such vital
concern to all minority groups il
should not be held up for political eN-
pediency. The nobility of our war aims
should be equalled by the democratic
concepts of our domestic postwar
legislation. Certainly the abolition of
racial discrimination envisaged by the
Fair Employment Practice COMMITTEES
bill is one of the ideals to which this
country is committed. Failure to enact
the bill may lead only to racial ten
sions and break faith with our minor
itieS"

WHAT'S THE RUSH

A DVOCATES of permanent compulsory military
"A service for the United States are vociferously
pressing for quick passage of legislation establish
ing such a system. They allege that the people
the press etc, are for compulsory service after
the war and argue that now is the time to act
They fear, and say in so many words, that
when peace comes, support for permanent con-
scripton will wane. In other words, they fear the
proposal will be rejected when -mindedness
takes the place of warmindedness and its hys-
terias and alterations.
There are two big things that should be kept
to the fore in the consideration of permanent com
pulsory military service. In the first place, its
supporters produce no proof that the American
people are for it, All we have is the say-so of the
conscription boosters. The people have had no
chance to vote on permanent conscrption and it
has had so little support in Congress that it has
never been seriously considered there.
In the second place, such departure from all
American traditions and principles calls for thor
ough debate and study. Obviously it will not get
thorough debate and study now. The minds of
the people are on more important matters.
Before permanent conScription is adopted the
American people will want to know a number of
things, including the purpose Of its advocates Do
they plan to play God and help to regulate the
affairs Of the entire world, indefinitely? This is
one of the vital questions that demands an au-
thoritative answer before any system Of forced
military service is established.

WHAT is THE /. l.. o.?

THE International Labor Organization, created
at the end of the first World War, is an asso-
citation of nations, financed by Governments. The
United States became a member of the |. H. y. IN
1884 following a Joint resolution of the Congress.
The purpose of the |. l.. 0. is to promote I'M
proved labor standards and social security in all
countries, and to eliminate sub-standard condl-
tions which constitute an obstacle to the progress
of the nations with the highest standards.
Structure of the Organization: The lnterna-
tional Labor Office the permanent secretariat, is
world center of information and research on
social and economic problems. The Governing
Body, the executive council composed OF 10 gov
ernment. employer and 8 labor delegates, super
vises the work of the Office lhe international
Labor Conference, the world parliament for labor
and social conditions, is made up of delegations
from the member nations. Each country sends
four representatives to the annual meeting; two
government, one employer and one labor.
The international standards set by the Or
ganzation are in the form of special international
treaties, called Conventions. A: two-thirds ma
iority of the Conference is required for adoption
These decisions of the Conference are not auto
matically binding but must be submitted to the
legislatures of the member nations for ratlfca-
ton When ratified, a Convention must be applied
and an annual report of its application made to
the |. l.. O. The Conference also adopts RECON-
mendations on social and economic policies.
Since 1919 the Conference has passed 67 Con
ventons. These have received total OF 881 rati-
ficatons in more than 80 countries. Six have
been ratified by the United States. The Conven-
tion deals with employment, hours Of work, paid
vacations, the protection of women and children,
prevention and compensation OF industrial accl-
dents, colonial labor problems, conditions of sea-
men and social security.
