their fullest support said, Il
know of no better way for the
workers to show their sentiments
for their country's welfare than
by digging down in their pockets
and purchasing an extra bond or
two during this drive. Many of
the workers will not even miss
the money, and they can always
get it back without loss when
ever they feel that they must
have 1t. These bonds look like a
good investment to me, and there
can be no better investment than
our own country"

Regional Director Richard
Gosser has appointed Inter

plant.
The organizational dri " e,
which has been underway at the
Bunting Co. for the past several
months, has been in charge of
Tom Russell, of Local IA, UAW-
CIO.
A petition has been filed with
the NLRB for an election. AS
soon as the hearing has been
held and Local IA shows that it
has sufficient members to war
rant a vote, an election will be
held to determine the proper
bargaining agent.
Commenting on the Bunting
drive, Director Gosser said, 1--WE
know that we are doing things
for the workers even before they
pick us as bargaining agent. The
company, without warning and
without any arguments being
presented to it, voluntarily came
up with two weeks vacation
grant to its employees. If we can
get the company to do this with
out even representing the work
ers, we certainly should be able
to win some other gains for them
once the election is over and
they decide they want the
United Auto Workers.
Worker Comments
Workers in the plant are not
deceived by the company's sud-
den outburst of voluntary gen.
erosity. One worker in the plant
stated, ut looks like the COM
pany will do anything short of
giving us union to keep the
UAW out of our plant. Per-
sonally, l think this vacation gift
is going to do the union a lot of
good and show the people in the
plant what union could do for
u.s."
Present indications are that
the UAW will carry the election
with better than so per cent
majority with more members
signing up daily swelling the list
of those who want to see

observation-disclosures Dewey
is going about his campaign In Q
novel way.
His tactics seem to be TO keep
quiet and organize before he let's
go. He has gone about II with great
er pains than any candidate in my
time. Apparently, he has spent ev-
cry minute since his nomination at
the task.
Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign has
oeen indirect and, on the surface,
wholly involved with war and peace
developments. His role is com.
mander-in-chief. When the Demo-
cratic convention was following
directions. he was inspecting an avi-
alton plant on the West coast.
1t Is impossible to contend
war events. which he Is leading,
have no campaign effect, be-
cause they may be \ control
ling factor In whether he wins
or loses.
For instance, next logical
jump from our recently achieved
island strongholds In the Pacific
is the Philippines. In fact, this
is the only place to 60 except
Japan itself.
If General Macarthur should hap
pen to lead an invasion force back
into Manila within the next three
months, the reaction here would be
favorable TO Mr.. Roosevelts
chances.
Victory in Europe, unless It hap
pened to be entirely Russian break
through, also might have a profound
campaign effect.
On the international political side,
the Breton Woods conference has
developed the controversial financial
bank measure, which Mr.. Roosevelt
apparently is going to keep out Of
the campaign by refraining from
presenting it to congress until the
January session after election.
Mr.. Hull Is arranging a pre-
liminary peace conference here of
the big powers, and my guess
always has been that this will pre-
pare the way for the President to 60
to Europe for big peace confer
ence before November.
Awaiting Developments.
These developments alone may
constitute his campaign. except that
designated spokesman like Senator
Wagner and others may make
speeches carrying the purely polit.
ical campaign promises, outlining
what the President Is doing. saying
what he proposes to do il elected.
Dewey's preparations, on the other
hand. so far have been a methodical
organization Of his party as it has
never been organized before while
out Of the White House. BY every
move, he has offered the contrast
to one-man government.
The moment the convention
was over, he started on the
ground in Chicago with roundups
of national committeeman and
women in groups Of five or six.
He not only conferred with. but
he listened to every state chair
man as well.
To them he said this campaign
was a joint venture. Indeed. he gave
Bricker more consideration then and
later than a vice presidential can.

sets. Connecticut separately SO Tar.
Those who attended these meet
.ngs said they were Like lodge meet
ings. Dewey did not make a speech,
but simply devoted the meeting to
understanding and organization. His
friends always have given him
credit for exceptional skill In or
ganization.
On his trip west, he called in the
Pennsylvania state delegation at
Pittsburgh, the Illinois delegation at
Springfield. and is getting the 26 Re-
publican governors into his organi.
zational ring with his planned two
day meeting at ST. Louis. After that,
the Missouri delegation was brought
In.
This year with the war likely to
break before election. with the peace
unsettled. it is probable people may
take the election more as a matter
Of course. Extremely light votes
have appeared already in the pri.
maries. In Idaho. at the height OF
the European invasion. candidates
got no crowds and the voters could
not be induced TO come from farms
and war factories and register. In
North Dakota. the vote was light de-
spite the warm senatorial contest. In
Maryland, Democratic Senator Tyd.
ings found unusually little applause
given TO a Roosevelt speaker at q
Roosevelt pep rally.
Obviously. Dewey's game 10 to
concentrate through his organization
upon those 26 states which will give
him the election hands down, II he
can get them.
During all this time, the usual
campaign comments that daily
emanate from candidate have been
avoided. When he went west, he had
not even appointed publicity mana
ger, the job being temporarily left
to Harold Keller. deputy commits
sioner Of commerce on leave from
his state job. who also handled
Dewey publicity at the convention.

one OF the advantages or being
a President is that no one can
quote the President without his
consent. The same rule ought TO
apply to candidates. For instance,
see that Governor Edge OF New
Jersey has issued a statement ex-
pounding the foreign policy Of
Governor Dewey. IL Governor
Dewey wishes IN make a state
ment on his foreign policy, why
not deliver a speech, write an ar
ticle, give an interview TO the
press? Why have Governor Edge

means?
have not the slightest doubt
that Governor Edge speaks by the
book, but do protest every use
OF indirection by either candidate.

one says or does in his name un.
less he repudiates the method OF
providing information by indirec-
ton. He is amply capable OF
speaking for himself. Tom Dewey
needs no interpreters. He can do
his own.
Governor Edge says:
l.
determined that effective means
shall be brought into bearing (sic)
to assure that any future threat
to the peace of the world will be
properly stamped out by interna-
tional action"
Now, neither Governor Edge nor
Governor Dewey nor, for that mat
ter, President Roosevelt, can 1T
this moment know whether the
American people will support any
such program. For instance, they,
cannot say whether, once Ger
many and Japan are defeated, the
American parents OF soldiers Will
consent to the maintenance OF an
American army in Europe, ASIA
and Africa TO maintain the peace
there. They cannot now say that
any Congress will agree to keep
ing a single American outside the
territorial boundaries OF the United
States to maintain those In power
who may emerge powerful out 81
this war. No one can predict any
such thing, and those who attempt
TO be the Nostradamuses OF 1914,
are playing with words.
Again, Governor Edge says:
ION the economic side, Cover
nor Dewey feels that we must
work with other nations to pro-
mote monetary stability. a wider
international exchange of goods
and services, and other CONNER
cial and economic progress in
order that the underlying causes
OF war may be guarded against"
That sounds good, but 1t isn't
history. The last two wars, the
one In which the parents OF the
present soldiers were engaged and
the current one. were, in a large
measure, due to commercial COM
petition among industrial nations.
The soundest solution for the mer-
lean problem of unemployment IS
the development OF a huge ex-
port business. But it has to be
decided whether we are to ex-
port goods and services, or capital
and know-how or all OF them. II
we are to export goods and SER
vices, we are up against price COM
petition that requires analysis and
and understanding. or instance,

same market? How does a 40
