Soldiers
and
Strikes
An Editorial

A widespread conspiracy has
been Matched to stir up distrust
between servicemen and labor.
Servicemen are being told that
labor is more interested in get
ting advantages for itself than
in supplying materials to the
armed forces. Labor is being
told that servicemen are able to
think of nothing but the strikes
at home.
It is not necessary to document
the above statements. Just pick up
a few random copies Of almost any
commercial newspaper and make
up your mind whether we are
correct.
The question lot Of people are
asking Is, How well Is this con-
spiracy succeeding: Are soldiers
and sailors actually against labor,
or turning against labor? Is labor
watching out for the interests or
servicemen or Is 1t not:
AS to the first point, IL the men
in the armed services were get
ting all their news and comments
on world affairs from the COM
mercial press and radio, they would
no doubt be influenced against
labor.
But are the Army and Navy fall
ing I'm with the conspiracy and stir
ring up prejudice against labor?
Undoubtedly some minor officers
are. However. it is pleasure to
report that the authorities-the
men higher up-are making q
strenuous effort to be fair In their
attitude on labor news.

Thomas E. Dewey in his st. Louis
speech Monday repeated his fall
siflcations on what he calls the
Roosevelt depression and the de-
mobilization program OF the Army"

emily has no more ideas" Mr.. Han
negan said. ''They sound like tired
old men. Undoubtedly they are dis
couraged. They should be. They
are beaten, and they sound now as

Mr.. Hannegan said Gov. Dewey
distorted Monday night quotation
from report of the Conference on
Postwar Readjustment of Civilian

ment closely paralleled one issued
yesterday at the White House which
was termed "a factual analysis" of
Gov. Dewey's st. Louis speech.

on to Tom Dewey" Mr.. Hannegan
said. HE has revealed himself as
an ambitious and petty office seek
er. Dewey has nothing to offer the
American people except his desire
to move to Washington.
