"THE PATH OF THE JUST"

lust AS typhus becomes a scourge during war;
|" the passions and uncertainties of the times
seem now to have combined to create an epdemic
of group intolerance in the United States. Anti
Semtism is one of the most painful manfesta-
tiOnS of this intolerance. We would say that, by
and large, this is not organized movement; it is
a mechanical and catchWord anti-Semtism, the
fruit Of sly and covert propaganda, and carefully
directed into channels of easy expression The
campaigns of hoodlumism directed against the
Jewish people IN Boston and New York are the
work of children and youths finding rOWdy out
let for the excitement of and the ignorant
superficial easily-swayed prejudces Of immatur-
ity. But they are the advance guard of phalanx
we have seen at work before-in Nazi Germany
TO fight prejudice with pleas for tolerance isl
a noble and hgh-minded approach to the problem,
but as Spinoza said, "All noble things are as
difficult as they are rare" To cut the propaganda
flow at the source would undoubtedly be part off
the solution larger part should be to match the
propaganda Of evil and the lying whispering cam
paigns against our Jewish fellow w-citizens with the
propaganda Of truth and the outspoken espousal
of the truth by honestly democratic and clear
thinking Americans.
This the members of the American FederatonI
Of Labor are emnenty fitted to do With their
background Of aid to the downtrOdden of all creedsI
and races, as eXempifed by their generous re-
Sponse to the relief campaigns of the Labor
League for Human Rights; with the training and
the understanding of economic and political events
received through their activities in the tradeI
union movement, AFL members are mbued with
tolerance and armed with knowledge They know
that evil casts larger shadow of itself and they
have the will and the power to fight that evil inI
order to safeguard the future for us all.

PROHIBITION. .AGAIN?

During THE last war prohibition was voted
by our people as result of, chiefly, uncon-
troIled efforts of the liquor industry. 1t proved
far from happy experiment, and the Volstead law
was repealed in 1888.
Citizens who realized that people can not be
legislated morally perfect hoped that liquor inter
cSts would restrain their desire for profits and
keep their noses clean with the return of liquor.
They were Of course disappointed because the
only desire of the liquor industry, apparently is to
make q lot Of money fast.
They now faced with inquiries locally and
nationally which may result disastrously for them,
and for the nation if we again have prohibition.
congressional committee finds that the big
shots of the industry have connived at Just about
every trick they should have avoided. They have
created artificial shortage, changed brand
names, diluted products, hiked prices, diverted
supplies, in short, they have been unable to see
much beyond the end Of their noses.
SO, don't be surprised at anything that hap
pens to the liquor industry.

GRADUAL DISQUALIFICATION
TO PREVENT UNEMPLOYMENT

Washington, ID. c. ULNS).-Recom-
mending gradual rehabilitation when
the war ends Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
Selective Service Director, cautioned
against sending thousands of service
men home to areas where there is only
enough employment for hundreds.
In speech read to the National
Conference on Social Security at the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
by Col. John n. Andrews Of Selective

Hershey declared that I'VE must view
rehabilitation planning in the same
way Il healthy man views life inSur-

ters is not the biggest organization in the
E American labor movement, but many have done
us the honor of considering us typical and repre-

$ If we are typical of large section OF labor

There has been no general strike in our in
dustry. Our members, several thousand OF

stopped work when there was work available.
] Occasional hareups were quickly quenched. Ad-
yantageS sought and the advances made by our

within the bounds set by sound public policy in

they demand overtime when the battle RACES

What the point Of this preachment is sup
posed to be is moi fully clear unless we are to
gather from il that we should be happy to
ceive no more than $50 month for work that
is obviously less dangerous and less eXacting
than that of a soldier on a battle front.

!, COMMENT ONWORLD !
EVENTS

Some weeks ago military officials an
nounced that the United Nations, and
particularly the United States, could
expect heavy casualties in the promised
invasion of Europe.
1t was, presumably preparing fathers
and mothers of service men for tele-
grams announcing bad news from the
war fronts. 1t was also telling us that
Hitler still has an effective fighting
force with which to resist invasion of
his Fortress of Europe, with our troops
pushing him on Italy and Stain blast
ing him on the east.
Then came the declaration by q
high source" that organized labor
was messing up the situation. Threat
ened strikes would retard our progress
and bolster the morale of the German
people.
Could it be possible that the high
source" by this method wanted to lay
at the door of organized labor the
heavy casualties expected to result
from the landing of troops at Hitler's
door?
Knowing beforehand that thousands
of American boys will make the su-
preme sacrifice in this maneuver, was
it Il move to at the same time to dis
credit organized labor?
Labor and especially organized labor
has made magnificent record in this
war, and it is incOnceivable that any
one would use the blood of our youth
to blacken this record
needed vitality when the war began. 1t
also was controlled by tight corpo-
ration, the Aluminium Corporation of
America.
The necessities of war production
demanded that output be increased and
plants were established, financed large
ly by the government until at the
present time there seems to be more
production than can be used.
SO plants in the United States which
have been supplying aluminium to the
government have been closed and the
workers are on the unemployment list
Meanwhile, says Congressman Coffee,
the government continues to pay q
cents a pound for aluminium from the
Shipshaw plant in Canada instead of
10 cents from U. S. plants.
He can't understand why all the new
plants financed by the government
have closed down while none owned
and operated by ALCOA exclusively
are still in operation
Perhaps it's just oneof those things:
Above all else, profits.
For years, Nazi propaganda has told
of the "loyalty" of German seamen to
Hitler and has denied the sabotage
acts committed on German ships by
the underground seamen's organization
which is associated with the Interna-
tional Transport Workers Federation.
Now, however, the authorities seem
unable to conceal them longer for the
DeutSche Allegemeine Zeitlmg recently
referred to the series of mysterious
accidents and sabotage acts which oc-
Cured in German merchant ships
especially in the years before the out
break of war"
Our experiences in the solution of
war problems have taught us the in
valuable lesson that when industry,
labor, agriculture and the Government
work together toward a common goal
we can overcome insurm0untable OBJ
StacleS and accomplish miracles OF
production.-William Green.

achievement of the German flying

In an article discussing aspects
Of internal morale during months

the publication declares this pledge

retaliation, Das Schwarge Korps
adds, would have been catastro-
phic, for the Nazi regime would
have lost a good share of its
standing-above all among its own
