Disagrees With Mr.. Green.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
According to AFL President William
Green, the best way to attain unity
in the American labor delegation to the
international Labor Office is to elimi-
nate opposition by not allowing the
CIO any representation. He argues
that the possible splitting of the Ameri-
can labor vote on a vital issue would
cause disunity and discord He further
states that the traditional way is the
better way, when he says that the
AFL has been the sole American labor
representative for many years and for
that reason should continue as the
sole representative.
Maybe we can apply Mr.. Green's
ideas to promote unity in the coming
election and permit only the Demo-
Gratis Cor the Republicans to vote

struggles between Sweden and Russia
for this land. In 1909 Sweden ceded the
entire territory to Russia, who retained
1t until the last war.
The Swedish barons were the civilizers
of the country and remained the upper
class, in both property and culture,
although they had long since ceased to
think of themselves as Swedish citizens.
Yet they spoke and speak Swedish as
well as Finnish, have their own Swedish
newspapers and schools, and have
family relationships with neighboring
Sweden.
After the first Russo Finnish war, in
1910, when Finland had to cede Finno-
Karelia to the Soviet Union, 400 1000
Firms left the lost territory and came
as refugees into remaining Finland
Four hundred thousand peasants, as
these people were, presented a terrible
problem to a country whose remaining
population is only $500, 900. These
people had to have land, and the only
land available was the great Swedish
baronial estates Therefore, the loss Of
Karelia would have necessitated dras-
tic land reform. But when, year
later, the new Russo Finnish war began,
the problem was temporarily solved by
the reoccupation of Karelia by the
Firms, and the return Of the refugees.
\
So now, II the Swedish King urges
Finland to make peace, he knows the
consequences-the Swedish upper class
of Finland will have to pay for it..
Nevertheless, he urges it, for there are
higher interests at stake than those Of
the Swedish nobility. The Swedish
monarch has really risen above the
interests of class in this.
Great Britain also has been much
more energetic in the Finnish question
than has the United States. For Brit

Profit in SIum Clearance

Lie pICCerneSS, most of it wholly
unnecessary, between public and pri-
Vate builders over low cost housing
tends to obscure the significance of
the discovery by representatives of
private enterprise" that a legiti-
mate profit incentive lies in the
reclamation of city slums. If this
discovery is a genuine one, uninf1u-
enced merely by the fears of private
builders over Government encroach-
ments, it is highly important.
In his testimony before the Burton
subcommittee last week, Edward R.
Carr, a director of the Home Build
ers' Association of Metropolitan
Washington, explained that I'm the
past we have built houses in the
higher brackets and have felt that
perhaps slum clearance would have
to be done by such public agencies
as the NCHA. We have accepted all
too complacently the statement:
Private enterprise cannot do the
job"
Why does private enterprise be-
heve it can do job now that it
never felt it could do in the past?
MIR. Carr'S testimony in this respect
Is interesting. Slum clearance for
low cost housing is coming to be
regarded as sound business" While
the profit is small on each unit, the
long-term investment is safe. There
will be an active market after the
war in higher priced dwellings and
successful builders will soon run
into high income tax brackets" with
q resulting incentive to invest some
OF their capital in low rental hous-
ing. Long term mortgages at low
interest rates were not available in
the past to many builders, but have
been promised now. BY dividing ef-
forts between low cost housing and
more expensive housing, the latter
market will not be glutted and en-
ployment will be spread over a long
period. 'We will do this job because
for the first time we realize fully
the Importance Of getting at the
thing and getting it done, the tre-
mendous amount of business to be
generated by rebuilding and re-
planning large areas in the old city
Of Washington" "
Mr.. Carr does not claim to have
all the answers. He and his COL
leagues frankly admit that if they
assume responsibility which they
cannot discharge, they will have dis
credited themselves with the people
and public housing, which they fear,
will be stronger than ever. The Gov
ernment's part of the program
would lie in the exercise of the power
of eminent domain for assembly of
the land to be reclaimed, which the
private builders cannot do; to de-
termine the use and to set the stand
ards for the housing to be provided.
The proof is in the pudding, not
yet baked. But it does look prom

Mud Aids Russians

ferent places so that they could always
be thrown into battle as quickly as pos
Sible at those localities where the
enemy may storm open the German
front and go slogging into the hinter-
land. Under these difficult conditions,
and in the absence of hard and good
roads, the German operational reserves
found themselves spread-eagled all over
the place in tremendous sea of mud.
Often they had to be moved about
parallel to the fighting line for a con-
siderable distance before they could
be brought into action.
THAT is why the arguments that the
muddy terrain in which this battle is
raging is just as big handicap to the

moment the Soviet forces have the ad-
vantage. The mud is their ally"
Thus the German radio in its anxiety
to find excuses for defeat.
But what is it that this broadcast
really tells us? Obviously, it was hastily
patched up by the Ministry of Propa-
ganda with advice from the general
staff. 1t seeks to put the blame for
deleaI on tne mud. IL says that the
Russians know where they are going
and can prepare beforehand, while the
Germans must await the Russian move,
and only when the move has been made
can they seek to counter it. Therefore,
the broadcast begins by admitting that
the Germans have lost the initiative
completely in South Russia and are
being compelled to conform to the Rus
sian plans.
That is not all. The broadcast like
wise admits what has been observed
by this commentator and others, that
the Germans are running short of re-
serves. They no longer have sufficient

He advocated, however, accrued

great hope now of doing it,
Concerning the Political Action
Committee, Carey pointed out that
the Go is not married to any poll
teal party. Our main objective"
he stated. is to get the people reg
istered and ready to vote; to have
them informed on the issues; and
to have before them when they are
ready to cast the ballot the records
of the people seeking office"
We want, by 1916, 80 million
workers. We want them informed,
and eligible to vote. 1t will be our
opportunity to completely eliminate

Touching on the international
field, Carey declared that the Go
has some slight reservations on the
Dumbarton Oaks Conference on
future world security organization.
He said it is necessary that the
people have opportunity to ex-
press their views; and looking at
the Dumbarton proposals, there is
no sign of such an opportunity for
the peoples Of India, Africa and
Ethiopia TO express their views.
Asked for an expression on the
possible unity of the AFL and CIO,
Carey said he thinks unity in the
labor movement will come. But we
are not going to compromise our
position to do it," he emphasized.
A government should be mea-
sured by what it does for the least
of its citizens" he said. A labor
movement should be measured in
the same way"

World War I Pension
Bill Signed BY President

WASHINGTON, ID. c. (NNPA)
A bill providing pensions for
widows and children of veterans of
World War |, regardless of the
service-connection Of the cause of
death of the veteran, was signed
by the President this week.
The measure extends coverage to
the families of virtually all World
War l veterans, providing pensions
regardless of the cause of death.
Previously pensions were allowed
widows and children only % if
the veteran died of disability con-
nected with his war service, and
(2) if he died of some other cause,
but had been disabled in the war.
Widows without children will get
$35 a month. A widow with one
child will receive $45, and S. addi-
tional for each additional child. A
child of a deceased veteran, whose
mother also is dead, will get SIS.
Two orphans will receive $27, three
will get $50, and for each addition
al orphan "a is provided.
No childless widow can draw a
pension unless her annual income
is under $1,000, nor can a widow
with children qualify unless her in
come is less than $500.
The veteran must have served at
least 80 days for his family to be
eligible. Women who marry vet
Grams after the effective date of
the law must have lived with him
for ten years before his death to
be eligible. This provision is to dis
courage women from marrying vet
Grams with the sole idea of obtain
ing the pensions.
