From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President.
Local IL. UAW.CIO

We have discussed public works as sup
plement to private industry to provide full
employment in the postwar period. 1t was
pointed out that public works, if properly ad-
ministered can prevent widespread suffering,
but public works should only be used to the
extent necessary to assure full employment.
Methods to make private industry provide
employment also must be used Some of these
are: the present system of unemployment in
surance must be broadened. First it must be
federalized instead of administered by the in
dividual states. Second, the weekly compen-
sation must be increased to $40 for a period
of 80 weeks.
Old age and survivors insurance must be
increased to provide more adequate benefits.
There must be legislation which will pro-
vide for adequate medical and hospital
for all workers and their dependents.
There must be a disability insurance plan
to provide for weekly income for workers who
are temporarily or permanently injured
RESOURCES
1t is an undisputed fact that we have the
manpower, the machinery and the natural re-
sources to provide a good standard of living
for all our people.
Experience has proven that unless pro-
duction of goods is planned to provide for full
employment and social security for all our
people, the mere fact that we have the means
does not guarantee that we shall have statA
of affairs under which there shall be work ~
living wages for all.
The very first step in bringing to realiza-
ton the postwar program of the UAW-CIO is
for the workers to register so they can vote.
A successful postwar program can only
be attained through the enactment of social
legislation, and this legislation will not be en-
acted unless the workers express their feel
ings through the ballot

Whof Dewey Scys

Several days ago, Governor Thomas
Dewey, the Republican hopeful, warned
the country that unless il elected him TO
the highest office i'm the land there
would be another Roosevelt depression"
What does Dewey mean, another
Roosevelt depression? There was only
one depression in this country, and that
came under Hoover. Not only did the de-
preston come under Hoover, but il was
nourished by his indifference, his stupid-
ty and lack of ability to recognize what it
was all about.
Does the charge that Dewey is tool
of Hoover, who has regained control of
the Republican party, carry weight? Your
right, it does, for Dewey himself in his
ridiculous charge, substantiates that
charge and gives it significance.
Roosevelt not only inherited the Hoo
YER depression, but he eaSed it to such an
extent that the country was willing to
trust him for three terms against Hoo
vers single term. More than this, il will
probably trust his performance for IL
years against Deweys promises of IL
days.
Governor Dewey was sold short when
somebody wrote his Roosevelt depression
speech for him, an incident which proves
that an untried governor still does not
have the qualifications to refute the
hckum which his Hoover-inspired speech
writer insisted upon him delivering.
1t appears that Governor Dewey is go
ing to learn something about politics dur
ing this campaign-the hard way.

Lest Rights

Europe echoes to the march of military
feet, the clanking of tanks, the roar of
bombers. the blast of block busters, the
crash of buildings and the thud of human
bodies falling dead, wounded, blinded and
NAMED to an earth blackened by fire and
desolated by war.
And the author of all this indescrib-
able carnage, this madness of killing and
being killed, came to power legitimstely,
by the vote of the German people.
In America, we prepare for political
campaign, which, while it may seem far
removed from Europe, China and the
Southern Pacific, is as important to us as
the winning of the war, for upon the de-
cision of the American people rests our
future for many years to come.
While millions of Europeans await the
coming of the Allies and the promise of
Democracy, we in this country accept our
rights and political good fortune in
matter of fact way, unmindful of our
blessings.
This is no idle charge, but self
evident fact, based not upon hear-say or
snap judgment, but upon the figures of
the Lucas County Board of Elections
$4,000 voters, most of them workers, have
lost their right to vote.
They tell us that the workers should
stay out of politics and then ask us to
vote for their candidates. Labor they say,
has no business to mingle in politics, as
some stupid reactonary southern poll
tician rises in Congress to make us the
victims Of Smith. Connally Act.
Labor should not contribute to poll
tical campaigns, but rich men, their wives,
sons, daughters, grandsons, grandmoth-
ers, and fourth cousins can contribute
large amounts to the party which prom
ises to keep labor in its place.
Similar things were said in Germany
when Hitler was on his way up, the only
difference being that Hitler double
crossed those who thought they were pur-
chasing a willing tool.
But the $4,000 voters who have been
disqualified in Lucas County, what are
they going to be able to say, If, following
this election they find an administration
In Washington, which, while il may not
employ storm troopers, will harass and
possibly even destroy labor unions.
1t doesn't cost anything to vote except
little effort, the first step of which is to
register and qualify to vote. Having done
that, the voter intelligently studies the
candidate, makes choice and votes; but
the first step, the important step, is to
register.
Will you register now and insure your
political future, will you do this so that
II can't happen here?

By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B, UAW-ClO

In the 81 months this country has been in
the war, it has, by reason of its wartime pro-
duction, military efforts, lend-lease and other
factors, piled up the largest public debt in its
history.
To partially liquidate the debt, or prevent
it from reaching an nconceivable amount (its
already astronomicaD the people of the coun-
try are paying taxes such as they have never
paid before.
According to the leading economists, we
must liquidate our public debt, and we must
do it, not by declaring it repudiated not by
juggling our monetary system, but by the
people paying off the debt accumulated in
their name and, we hope in their interest
How do we pay our national debt If not
out of income the same as we pay our private
debts. This means that in order to pay the
debt which this country has amassed before
and during the war, the citizens of the coun-
try will be compelled to dig down in their
pocketbooks and come up with the money
NECESSARY EMPLOYMENT
Where will the people get the money with
which to pay their taxes and reduce the public
debt? From their wages, salaries and other
sources Of income. Thus, if there is widespread
unemployment following the war, the debt
will not be paid off as rapidly as it should be.
and the people will be paying interest charges
which may actually add to the principal of
the debt.
In the light of this fact, it looks to me like
the only answer to the problems of peace,
including the right of the workers to live ix
decency and with reasonable measure of 81
curty, is to provide full employment in the
postwar period
any considerable unemployment comes
after the war, it will no doubt lead to serious
difficulties, for the unemployed are of no
economic value to the country, but are in
reality, positive drain upon our economy
Enlightened self interest should compel
even some of the more reactionary to see the
necessity of providing work for the people
who are able and willing to work 1t should
cause them to recognize the necessity of CO.
operation between the workers, the employers
and govrnment, as well as international CO.
operation between nations.
Upon the solutions of problems relating to
employment debt and international relations
does our postwar era depend. Peace and pros
perity, war, and suffering and death are
going to be determined to a considerable ex-
tent upon the economic arrangements which
come after the shooting is over and the victors
sit down to discuss what they are going to do
about this world.
AS we approach the end of the war we
recognize more clearly than ever that labor
must have voice at the peace table and that
its whole future, well as the future of the
world, is going to depend upon how labor
fares in the postwar period.
