A NEW COLONIAL PATTERN

OUT OF WARTIME needs has come very gratl-
~ fying progress in the Caribbean area in handl-
ing colonial problems and needs. Britain the
United States, France and the Netherlands hold
Caribbean territories and in addition, there are
three Independent republics. The Caribbean lands
are for the most part, islands that are the geo
graphic OutpoStS Of the United States. Should
they fall into enemy hands they could become
bases for invasion by sea and air.
In the early days of the war, when the gov
ernment pressed all manner OF ocean-eolng ships
into war service, the whole economic lie OF these
islands was disrupted.
They could neither import what they needed
nor export what they produced
Unemployment and suffering were widespread.
The United States appointed Caribbean COM
mission to relieve our territories. We needed Their
sugar crops and variety Of materials essential to
the war effort. Our war emergency services were
directed to include this in their planning and
provisions.
I'm 1912 the Anglo American Caribbean Com
mission was created with six members and a CO.
chairman from each country It's functions were
broader than the effort. "MemberS OF the
Commission will concern themselves primarily
with matters pertaining to labor, agriculture,
housing, health, education, social welfare, finance,
economics and related subjects IN the territories
under the British and United States flags within
this territory, and on these matters will advise
their respective governments"
Early this year a West Indian Conference was
created This Conference was composed of two
delegates from each United States territory and
each British colony colonial group
The Conference is to have its secretariat
and to be advisory to the Commission, thus giving
the native peoples the beginning of representation.
This is an interesting development in colonial
administration with Joint initiative by the IeSpon-
sible governments to promote the economic and
social welfare of a region with provisions for par
ticpation by local representatives.
Already wages have increased-a first attack
upon the appalling and widespread poverty-and
national resources are being developed as indus
tries expand
As poverty is mitigated, workers will have
better food, better homes, better sanitation and,
consequently, better health.

INSIST ON SAFETY!

INDUSTRIAL accidents are really something to
think about. More lives have been lost here
than on battcfelds since Pearl Harbor and have
deprived the country of more ships than enemy
submarines, discloses an OWL report on accidents
in plants.
Injuries account for times as many lost man
hours as STRIKES $4,000 workers absent every day
because Of accidents. Deaths and INJURIES occur
lat the rate of 27O, 100000 lost mandays year,
equivalent to 100000 men absent for a year
These accidents cost employers S35 year for
every worker employed
The government is attempting to interest en-
ployers and workers in safety programs. Both are
guilty Of neglect of their own interests. 1t has
been found more difficult to persuade the worker
to protect himself than to induce employers to pro-
vide safety devices.
Verne A. Zimmcr, chairman of the National
Committee for the Conservation of ManpOwer in
War Industries, warns: Just as every soldier
realizes that millions must die but believes he will
not, so the majority of workers believe the acci-
dent will happen only to the other fellow
Workers should insist that proper safety
measures be adopted for their own protection, and
they themselves should become less careless and
more safety conscious.

PUBLICAN PROSPECTS

TT Is perfectly plain in Washington that the
Republican leaders in the Senate and House OF
Representatives are lining up against Wendell
Willkic. 1t would be difficult to analyze this shift
of power and influence that has led to the genera
belief among the political leaders that Mr.. Willkie
is not the strongest candidate that the party car
nominate. Meanwhile, Governor Dewey climbs up
wards despite his inactivity in National politics
and his refusal to announce himself as candidate

. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Labor Quislings and slave drivers
are meeting justified fate in occupied
countries of Europe, the international
News reaching the federation's New
York Office by cable from London gives
the names of three victims of under
ground labor, the first being Quisling
Labor Minister Kalivas of Greece,
who was shot by the Greek under
ground in Athens Jan. 81.
Kalivas has some experience in the
Quisling business, since he betrayed
Greek labor once before in 1896. He
was nominated by the trade unions as
director of the Athens labor exchange
and kept that function even after
unions in 1886. Then he entered the
MetaXas Labor Ministry, headed by
the trade union renegade Dimitratos.
Kalivas became Labor Minister in 1913.
The director of the Leyden labor eX-
change was shot by the Dutch under
ground Jan. 3. A week later the Ger
man director of the labor exchange in
Marseilles met the same fate through
the hands of the French underground.
Traitors of the labor movement al
ways were few. Up to the invasion Of
Europe they only met scorn and hate.
Now they have to pay for their crimes
with death.
The Danish underground paper DE
Erie Danske" (Free Danes) has pub
lished an afterthe-war plan which the
so-callcd Danish Council of Liberia
ton is sponsoring. This, although not
in any sense official, does show the i'm
portance which Danes attribute to a
discussion of how to clean house after
the occupying army shall have left.
This particular plan calls first for
a temporary Government to be appoint
ed by the King as soon as the troops
have left. No later than half a year
after this new popular elections must
be /held. All remaining NaZis to be
jailed Immediately, and all laws or
DEGREES forced on the country by the
Germans directly or Indirectly to be
declared void. All whose patriotism has
caused them to be put in Jail to be
released at once.
Special laws are to be passed, ac-
cording to this plan, regarding NaZi
and anti-democratic activities during
the occupation, and special courts are
to be appointed to deal with such cases.
Compensation is to be arranged for
those who have suffered economically
as Il result of their patriotic attitude,
and arrangements made for the con-
tiScatiOn of war profits.
Parliamentary commissions are to
be set up to deal with the cases in
which public officials or representatives
have betrayed national interests.
This plan is undoubtedly only the
first of many, but it shows the his
toric Danish attitude that with Law
must the Land be Built or, as in this
case, rebuilt.
The American soldiers down under
have learned that the laughing jack
ass is no jackass at all--but a bird, Il
Eingtsher inhabiting the Australian
continent. The American so I'd er 5
everywhere are beginning to learn that
many of those who call themselves
friends of the fighting men are no
friends at all, but only foes who would
deny them even the right to vote and
pit them against the workers who have
been providing them with the weapons
of victory.-Labor for Victory Press

Then he claims they kicked him in
the face. took his money and ran.
He told police that he had come
