that would not fit and shipping

Startling Contrast

When we look at the two candi-
dates and the two political parties
seeking our support in this cleo
ton. we find a startling contrast
in the thinking and in the pro-
grams that they propose for cur
future.
On the one hand, we have the
record of successful planning and
carrying out Of defense measures
and of the final Offensives that
are leading us TO victory over
the Axis.
This planning and these pro-
grams have been carried out under
the direct guidance of our Presi-
dent and Commander-in-Chief,
Franklin d. Roosevelt. His leader
ship has made the miracle of pro-
duction" possible. Industry, labor,
agriculture government and the
people as a whole have worked to-
gether under his leadership to
bring us to the very eve Of victory
in war.
On the other hand when we
look at the opponents Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt we find q record
that grows hourly more negative.
Not only do the Republicans lack
the ability to plan or the fore
sight to look ahead but they are
unable or unwilling to cooperate
with those who do possess fore
sight and the ability to think
problem through.
The clearest evidence Is found In
The CIO news., 1944-10-09

the recent refusal Of the Republic
can members of Congress, particu-
larly In the House Of Representa-
tives, 10 take any steps toward
planned, rational reconversion OF
industry from war TO peacetime
production. The record OF the Re-
publicans has been found wanting;
not only were they unwilling TO
cooperate with the plans Of the
Roosevelt Administration for re-
conversion but they were unable
10 come forward with anything re-
sembling a plan or a program OF
their own.
The reconversion issue goes right
10 the heart OF Jobs and security
for all. The administration propos-
ais would have taken a long step
toward this goal, by securing war
workers and veterans against UNI
employment and by aiding indus
try with a planned, rational ap-
proach TO the difficult change-over
period.
The Republican proposals con-
tanned no protection for war
workers or veterans. They had
nothing for industry, nothing for
the farmers, nothing for mer-
chants.

Meanwhile, the French Naticna!
Committee has been operating In
London under the leadership OF
General Charles de Gaulle since
the capitulation Of France. The
committee In France kept the re-
sistance functioniDg in France,
while the committee in London
actually directed the guerrilla and
sobtage activities, the spokesman
said.
He explained that because Of the
necessity for great secrecy In
France, where the Gestapo was ever
watchful, the work had to be d.
rected from London, where 1t was
possible to obtain o better overall
picture.
The activities Of the whole
movement had to be conducted In
the greatest secrecy. Nobody

as a large bauxite works and the

British
Bomb


LONDON, April 3 CUP) -
British naval planes pounced on
the great German battleship Tir-
pitt lying crippled in Norwegian
ford and hit her with several
bombs in a successful" attack,
the admiralty announced today.
A communique revealed the
new damaging blow TO the Tirpitz,
Germany's only super-dreadnaught
and mainstay of dwindling Nazi
naval power, a little more than
FIVE months after British midget
submarines knocked it out of
action last September.
The attack on the Tirpitz,
mystery ship of the German
battle fleet, whose weight is
known molly TO the Germans but
which is estimated up 10 $4,000
tons, was believed to have been
carrie d out by carrier-based
planes. although the communique
did not specify.
Observers said that with the
damage of several" bomb hits
added to that wrought by the
midget submarines. the onetime
terror Of the northern sea lanes
undoubtedly would be out of
action for a long time.
