Strikes Aren't Propaganda

Frank P Fenton a. F. of L. director of
organization and one of six labor leaders tour
ing the French front, is quoted as saying that
the soldiers over there are starting to under
stand that ''this strike talk is purely propa-
ganda.''
Mr.. Fenton displayed a short-sighted atti-
tude. He must know that Americans, including
the millions in the armed forces and in or
ganized labor, realize that labors wartime
accomplishments immeasurably outweigh its
faults. But he must also know that these same
Americans are aware that there have been
many strikes-strikes that cost needed tools
of war and perhaps lives, many of them for
trivial reasons.
These strikes are facts, not propaganda. And
to call them propa ganda or try to shift the
blame onto management and the American
press does not fool anybody.
When labor leaders feel labor SO strong and
mighty that it will not tolerate a word of
criticism, N1ey are counting the same come
uppance which once caught up with business
leaders who entertained the same attitude.

Don't Rush 1t

Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great
Britain and President Roosevelt are to fore
gather for another conference this time to
draft a program of control and presumably
occupation of Germany when the fighting is
over.
There are arrangements which must be
made in advance for maintaining order in
the Reich after Hitler's defeat But it is to be
hoped that the fact that Germany should be
defeated within its own borders will not be
overlooked in any planning now under way
or to come up.
1t has been the boast of the Prussians that
their Army has never been beaten outright
And the boast is justified. 1t is because the
German Army has escaped in the past that
its leaders have been able to plot new wars
Unless it is completely wiped out now, and on
it's own soil, so that the misled German pop
ulace cannot again be deceived as so often in
the past, the world will have to face it again
as soon new generation has sprung up
to bear arms
Mr.. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt will do veil
TO consider what is to be done within Ger
many after the war, but the war itself should
not be concluded before General Eisenhower
has entered Berlin from the West and the
Russian Premier, Joseph Stain, from the east
and the last remnant of the Germany Army
has been destroyed.
