glad to hear from you I'm sure.
There is only one of the boys

much from the shop. Every
one says they haven't time to
write.
Sometimes / wonder if they
have time to eat, and cash
their checks. That's one thing
l don't have to do is cash
check. We just stand in line
for about y hour and get paid
in cash, My pay up until last
month was $16,55 per month
after deductions. Of course my
wife gets her check every
month which helps out a lot.
We haven't had to cash but
two bonds as yet, SO decided
we couldn't buy any more for
awhile.

The Robots

Last week, several soldiers fresh from
the German front visited III a Toledo
plant and urged the workers, members of
the CIo to produce larger volumn of
shells.
There is nothing wrong with the gov
ernment sending Army men into any war
plant to stimulate the workers 10 greater
efforts, but, in reporting the visit in the
press, the inference is made that the
workers are lying down ON the job,
In the newspaper reports of the visit
last week, the words Of one of the high
moguls of management were extensively
quoted. Pictures of the soldiers visiting
with workers at their machines were
shown and great do do made about how
production was going to mount by leaps
and bounds was printed. But not one word
was written about the what the workers
or their leaders said.
Reading the daily press, we could very
easily get the impression that the war
workers were just bunch of lazy loutS
who had to be whipped into enthusiasm
every now and then by government, by
soldiers who had served in combat and by
a patriotic management. This is bunk,
pure and simple, for it is an admitted fact,
that labor, all during this war; has pro-
duced with a will and has achieved an
outstanding record never before equalled
in the industrial history of this country.
It's about time for the daily press to
cease its constant campaign to cast dis
credit upon the workers and give them
the credit which is due them The con-
spiracy of silence levcled at Unions and
their leadership must end--and now. :.

Political
Action
by
Clayton
Rusch
Chairman

I
Soon it will be Christmas.
Christmas brings to mind
many thoughts which are
always associated with this
glad season.
Aside from the reuniting
with friends and relatives of
whom we may not see much
between holiday seasons.
Aside from the presents given
and received, is the thought of
whose birthday Christmas is
the anniversary and the teach
ingS associated with his name.
1t is unnecessary to raise
any fine points in this doc
trine about which there may
be some disagreement of in
depreciation.
There cannot be any contra
VerSy about the essentials of
the teaching, and it is the es-
sentials l wish to discuss, for
they are very closely related
to the Goal and Program of
the Political Action Commit
tee For Social Legislation.
l really mean essentials as
I shall deal only with a few
fundamental precepts.
PEACE
First of these is the ideal
of Peace On Earth and Good
will Toward Men. Next the
maxim do unto others as
you would have them do unto
you" Thirdly, the principle of
a Brotherhood of Man.
These ideals have been held
before Mankind for two mil
lenimuns. Even considered
from the secular standpoint of
social ethics, they will rate
tops as the proper code of
conduct for civilized human
ity, and rightly so.
Yet, these precepts were
often been attacked as i'm
practical, as desirable but
unattainable way of life for
erring human beings.
Those who present such ar
guments hold that war and
poverty are just naturally in
the order of things and cannot
be eradicated.
The Social Security Pro-
gram of the CIO and the Le-
gislative Program of the PAC
give the lie to such conten-
tions.
Peace On Earth and Good
will Toward Men is both pos.
sible and practical
RIGHTS
To obtain such an ideal it
is only necessary to SUBJ
ordinate property rights to
human rights; to have a gov
ernment dedicated to the
proposition" t h at industry
must be operated in the best
interests of the whole people;
that a job at living wages must
be guaranteed to all; that
adequate social security must
be provided for all and the
civil liberties of all must be
protected.
We have today the material
requisites to achieve this. We
have men, machinery and
natural resources. The only
thing still needed is an active
interest on the part of the
common people in their gov
ernment. To promote this in
terest and bring about the
establishment and perpetual
ton of Congress and Admi-
nistration dedicated to the
principles outlined above is
the task of the PAC.
On behalf of the PAC |
wish to extend to the readers
of this column a MERRY
CHRISTMAS.

Whof United Motions ?

Events in Europe, particularly those
about which Winston Churchill has spo-
ken during the last week, do not lead
themselves to any feelings of confidence
that lasting peace will come out of this
war.
1t must be apparent, even to the casual
and poorly informed observer, that all is
not unanimty in the camp of the So
called United Nations.
AS the war nears its successful military
conclusion, it becomes increas ng y
apparent that the ideolOgy which marked
its beginning and the major portion of its
prosecution, has been displaced by Gym
ical striving after position, spheres or in
fIuence and other devices used in the
game of international power politics.
To sit back and watch the seeds OF
World War III being planted before World
War ii has been ended, gives the people
of this country an insight into what may
occur in the future, unless perchance our
government awakenS to its own power
and uses its position to prevent other
and greater holcusts from occurring with
in few years.
With all due respect to England's Win
ston Churchill and the dOgged teneacity
with which he has pursued his course and
brought the British from defeat to what
now appears to be certain military VIC
tory, we cannot and must not permit one
man, or even one nation to dominate the
thinking of the United Nations in an ef-
fort to divide and rule.
Too long has the world been ruled by
small clique of commercial minded and
mercenary men. Too long has the world
suffered and bed because of the ambitious
desires of handful of selfish and greedy
individuals to rule the markets of the
world and enforce their wills upon the
lives of millions!
The time has come for the United Ma
tions to confer and come forth with
statement of policy. Now is the time that
the peoples who have sacrificed for vic.
tory not be given the same treatment
which marked the close of the last war.
To indulge in deceit and hollow slogans at
this time will be but to sow the seeds for
a crop of future unrest and harvest the
war of the nOt-S0-d distant future.
To carry this war to its successful con-
clusion, the United Nations must bring
about just and lasting peace, not peace
based upon relocating whole nations, or
dividing Poland, neutralizing Greece, or
setting up spheres of influence. These are
the expedients of an unimaginative and
worn out system, including the usual UNI
satisfactory division of spoils, the perpetu-
alton of which has brought us into the
present conflict.
No better time could be found than the
present for the United Nations to really
unite settle upon a program based upon
justice and state their war and postwar
AIMS and program. To do less is to invite
suspicion and dissatisfaction and guaran-
tee us bigger and better wars in the fu-
lure.

On The
Beam

What we are witnessing in
that small, distant, war-torn
nation has much meaning for
labor and the common folks
of all nations. Here is proof
in the form Of the dead
bodies of Greek anti-Fascist
fighters dead bodies rid
died with British bullets
here is proof that the pluto
Gratis are using the war to
save their power and priv
ileges.
Those guns and bombs the
British are using in Greece
against the Greek people
were made by English work
ers. But is this the purpose
which English workers
thought the weapons they
made would be used for?
Oh, no!
Remember the Four Free
doms! Remember the Allan
tic Charter!
Remember the outcome OF
Te heran, remember the
brave new world promised to
us by Messrs. r oosev t,
Churchill and Stain.
THE PAY OFF
British wor' ,ers, like Amer
ican workers, have sweated
in the shops to produce the
implements Of war. They
were told repeatedly that
these weapons were needed to
bat back the Fascist beast,
needed to win the brave new
world
Do not strike, the workers
have been told; for strikes
will delay our march to the
brave new world of the Four
Freedoms.
Do not demand wage in
creases, the workers have
been cautioned; for wage in
creases lead TO initiation, and
initiation will slow up our
march to a world of freedom
and plenty.
BY and large, the workers
have listened and needed
They have worked and sweat
ed in support of the war
against Fascism.
But now comes the first
sample Of the pay-off and
Toryism is collecting all the
bets.
SIMPLE ISSUES
The issues in the Greek sit
uation are simple and easily
understood.
During the Nszi occupation
of that unhappy country, the
bravest of the anti-fascist
Greeks formed an under
round organization with
which to fight the Germans.
w hen the break through
came. and the Nazis were
chased out of Greece, this un-
foreground group led the
fight.
In the course of the fight
ing, the anti-Fascist under
ground not only fought the
German Nazis; it also battled
those Greek traitors who join
ed the Hitler camp.
Now the anti-Fascist UNI
derground is asked to surren-
der its guns. But it is not
assured that the pro-Nazi
Greeks will also be diSarmed
and made TO obey the will of
the majority.
So Mr.. Churchill is out to
smash the Greek anti Fascist
underground movement.
CHURCHILL'S MOTIVES
Mr.. Churchill wants a
Greek government which can
be controlled by the pluto
cratic elements he represents,
in the interest of British inn
perialiSm, He wants a pro-
Churchill government in It.
ally, in Belgium and in other
liberated countries,
Without such puppet gov
ernments located in strategic
spots around the world, he
cannot keep his pledge not to
"liquidate" the British en-
pire.
Mr.. Churchill'S prattle
about the menace of Com
munism in Greece has no
bearing on the basic issues
involved. 1t is for the Greeks
not the British--to decide
whether or not there shall be
Communism in Greece.
We are not fighting this
war TO turn the liberated
countries over to control by
Mr.. Churchill and plutocratic
imperialism"
