.OurCommon
Interests
BY Ruth Taylor

War has brought about the
kinship of common suffering.
But when the war clouds have
been swept aside and peace
once more reigns on earth, will
there be unity-the same unity
as in time of trouble?
Common suffering has welded
together people of different ma
tiona1ities as though they were
members of the same family.
Common aims have bound to-
gether people of different faiths.
Common ambitions have coordi-
mated the actions of people of
different backgrounds.
Will we now let rival ambi-
tions separate us? Common am
bition is working together to-
ward the same goal-a prize
which will be shared. Rival am
bition is striving for a goal
which must be seized for the
benefit of one and the detriment
of the other.
After all, what does common
mean? According to the die
tionary it is usual, average, reg
ular, and pertaining to or parti-
cipated in by all. There must be
no division either in war or in
peace in a democracy. AS Victor
Olander said, "The foundation
of unity is the equality of status
of the citizens" In short, if law
is to be effective it must be
applied always, everywhere anc
to all.
We have learned from bitter
experience that to be truly free
men must have the assurance oi
all alike of an opportunity tC
work as free men in the com
pany of free men. No man car
be confident in perpetuity o.
his own safety unless and unit
every man, woman and child Il
equally safe.
If we are to fulfill our duty
as Americans in the trying day!
ahead, we must without setting
aside any of our individual
rights, work together in oul
community or communal life, tt
carry out the ideals of democ
racy, to see to it that there are
opportunities for each man tC
advance according to his talents
and abilities, to extend
friendly hand to those who neeC
help, to keep the laws which VIZ
ourselves have made. Onl.
faith behind democracy cal
foster the com m on virtue
which are necessary for sci
government and for the pre-
servation of our unity.
Centuries ago Euripid d
stated it thus:
Look to the things of God.
Know you are bound to help al
who are wronged,
! Bound to constrain all who de
stroy the law.
What else holds state to stat
save this alone,
That each one honors the grea
! laws of right.
We have done this in war
We must do it in peace.

war Not Over
President Murray reminded
the delegates that the, war was
mot over and said "only God
knows how many lives may yet
be lost before Germany is final
.ly defeated. There is still a long
hard fight over there. There is
.still some blood to be spilled.
There are still some lives to be
.lost."
!. Declaring that if the no strike
commitment had not been made
there might have been diff
.ferent story to tell about this
war, the CIO head pleaded with
the delegates not to take any
action that may be misconstrued
by the rest of the country. 1t is
easy for us to adopt a resolution
that might have bad conse-
quences."
Turning to the little steel
formula, president Murray as
sured the convention cit is 60
ing to be devised" He dis
cussed the case of the United
Steel workers and predicted
confidentially that the formula
would be broken very soon.

on which plants would cont
war work, the Army would
tinue to use until the end of the
war those plants which can pro-
duce desirable quality items at
"the desired scheduled rates"
If small business can meet these
qualifications, it might have
fighting chance.
WPB's abandonment of all
controls over peacetime produc-
ton will mean that the goods
most urgently needed in every
American home - refrigerators
and washing machines, for in
stance - may not be made right
away. The manufacturer of
small motors may, instead, make
motors for juke boxes, and no
one can stop him.
In addition, labor representa-
tives who have fought hard to
keep controls over prices say
that this will be impossible if
there is no limitation on where
materials for new civilian goods
can be assigned.
Krug's statement for the WPB
reported that there will be
40% cut in war production with
the fall of Germany. In a press
conference later, Krug and
Stacy May of WPB's bureau of
planning and statistics, reported
that on We Day "Victory in
Europe" there would be a 20To
cut in aircraft, 209o in naval
vessels, and over 500 in the
Maritime Commission program.
The cost of war production will
drop to about 40 billion dollars
a year from the rate it now as
sumes of almost 70 billion dol
lars a year.

contract with the UAW.
Praises Service
Recapitulating the achieve
ments of the union during the
year 1943-44, Thomas said, "We
have made patriotic record of
war time service which cannot
be excelled. We have not only
been full-fledged union men,
bers, but we have also been full
pledged citizens of our nation
unselfish and continuous contri-
butors to our country's victory
against the forces of Nazism and
Fascism. While more than l.
100000 of us work in arms
plants, better than quarter of
million additional members
serve and fight in the armed
forces. To our sorrow, yet with
pride, we can count the num-
Der. of UAW-CIO dead, men
who made their utmost contri-
button to their nation"
Excepts From Report
II am not indulging in alarm
ist talk when / say that these
forces which own and control
our industries are not recon-
ciled to our permanent exist
ence. They have taken advant-
age of the war effort, where
they could, to undermine us. In
a larger sense they are fighting
all plain Americans, whose cause
has been espoused by the Roose-
welt administration"
%. On any basis, past rec
ord, political associations, fu-
ture program and personal abil-
ity, the President is so far ahead
of Governor Dewey as to make
the latter's candidacy a prepost-
erous one from the point OF
view of the workingman and
woman"
Referring to the no-strike
pledge, Thomas stated:
Il firmly believe that our
union, in the abiding interest OF
our membership, can take no
other step than to reaffirm our
voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of the
right to strike during war time,
We owe this not only to our
fellow Americans in the armed
forces, but also to our own
membership. No matter what
the provocations of manage
ment, we must continue to pro.
duce the weapons our men in
uniform must have if our coun-
try is to emerge victorious in
the struggle against totalitarian-
ism. If management refuses sin
cerely to support the war ef-
fort, labor must nevertheless do
its part.

that Dewey conferred with Ia
Dor leaders but that none of
them were members of the CIO.
Thomas turned the old ex-
preston about changing horses
in the middle of the stream say
ing I'VE shouldn't change a
horse for a pony in the middle
of the stream" and labeled
Dewey as the candidate of big
business and the mouthpiece of
Hoover "who kept telling us
prosperity was just around the
corner"
Works For FDR
81 am going to use every day
and every hour I can, regardless
what happens to me during this
convention working to elect
Roosevelt" said Thomas as he
urged the convention to get out
the vote for the reelection of
the president. He asked full sup
port for the Political Action
Committee and again warned
the convention not to change
horses in the middle of stream
for a pony.
Ending his discussion with
the condition of the Auto Work
ers, President Thomas told of
the growth of the union during
the past year and reported it
averaged 1,051,455 members,
Out of Ala elections under the
NLRB, 297 were won. Total
votes for the UAW were 5000
and for the AFL 1000.
Paying tribute to the officers
and board members of the In
ternational union, Thomas told
the convention that he would
like to see a third vice-pres-
idency created and mentioned
the named of Richard Leonard
The mention of Leonard's none
brought out boos and cheers
with the boos outweighing the
cheers.
Observe Silence
Nearing the end of his talk
Thomas called for one minute
of silence as a memorial to the
members of the union who had
lost their life in the service
Taps were sounded and the
audience stood in reverent 81
lence while the bugler played.

Need More
Respect For
Law Of God

CHICAGO. - Impelling motives
'for living in accordance with the
law of God and the law of man"
are seen as the best deterrents to
crime by John Edgar Hoover, Wash
ington, D. c., director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The declar-
alton was made today in a letter
Director Hoover sent to DR.. Roy
G. Ross, general secretary of the
International Council of Religious
Education, endorsing the nation
wide observance of the 14th annual
Religious Education Week, Septem-
Der "a to October |.
I'VE must engender in our youth
: a sense of moral responsibility
founded in religion" Mr.. Hoover
stated. 1T must be religion that is
not merely method of worship,
but religion that embodies creed
and a code as we'll. The young boy
and girl must believe in those truths
upon which our freedom rests, and
they must have respect for the laws
which must exist to preserve it.
Recent FBI crime figures indicate
that 'the new recruits are drawn
from out most vital possession
YOUTH" Mr. Hoover revealed in the
letter. During 1913, age Is FREEDOM
mated among all persons arrested,
according to fingerprint records re-
ceived by the FBI from all parts of
the nation. Arrests of l7-year -old
boys increased 27.7 per cent, and of
16-year old boys 81 per cent. In 1912
and 1913, arrests of girls under q
years of age have increased 1904
per cent.
Improved facilities for recreation,
intelligent administration of juve-
nile courts, increased guidance for
children whose families have been
weakened by the War-all Of these
things are necessary and good, but
they are not enough" Mr.. Hoover
declares. The answer lies in re-
ligious education because religion
reaches a part of man where soci-
ology is Intellectual; it reaches his
motives, his reasons for pursuing a
way of life In the last analysis, re-
ligion is the recognition Of mans
dependence upon superior Being
and his obligation to observe high
er law.
THE obligation to supply relig-
ious education to our youth rests
largely with the parents and the
churches. 1t is an obligation to pro-
vide way of life, motive power
that will dmpel the young men and
women Of America to choose the
good instead of the bad in every de-
partment of their lives. II is a SOL
emn obligation to preserve freedom
and justice for the world, by mould
ing the youth Of America in accord
ance with the Divine plan
In preventing crime and produc-
ing noble citizenry,' Director
Hoover declares the duty Of teach
ing religious education is not an
admonition or a counsel it is Gods
will, and if it is faithfully dis
charged America will survive and
prosper If it is ignored we can
never hope for the true freedom for
which our sons and brothers and
husbands are giving the final meas
ure Of love on the backgrounds of
the earth
