WHAT OF OUR
FUTURE?
BY RUTH TAYLOR
What of the future?

What of the future?
We say the future-but what we
should say is what of our future?'
for it is up to us. The future will be
precisely what we make it-no more
and no less.
Our faith in our future must be
measured by our own willingness to
seek-for all the peoples of all the
earth, irrespective of class, creed or
color justice, not vengeance; fair
play, not special privilege; friendli-
ness, not mistrust; awareness of our
brothers needs, not a pressing of our
own advantage.
We have seen what the policy of self
seeking, discrimination, distrust, preju-
dice and petty hatreds have done to
devastate Il world. Our casualty lists
and the grim accounts of the fighting
on the far side of both oceans, show us
the price we have paid for not realiZ-
ing that the future of the world was
our future as well.
All over the world the best of our
youth are fighting and dying horribly
for America. We must in their names
live gloriously for America and for
| American ideals. We must in their
names-culled from all natiOnalities,
all cOlOrs, all creeds-see to it that
here in America there is fair play for
all; equal opportunities for work and
| education; protection, not cOddling OF
| the weak; respect, not cenSure, for the
strong; a sincere desire to let each
man be himself, standing strong and
| free from persecution, RECOMMENDATION
and restriction.
| Our courage and faith must be far
seeing enough to bring brotherhood not
only for our time but for our children
and our children's time.
AS a representative of another of our
allies, Mackenzie King said while
the old order is destroying itself ii new
relationship Of men and of nations is
already beginning its slow but sure
| evolution. 1t is based not On fear, on
| greed, and on hate, but on mutual trust
and the nObleSt qualities of the human
heart and mind. 1t seeks neither to
divide nor to destroy. It's aim is bro
therhood, its method cooperation"
1t is our future and if we have faith
in ourselves, we will have faith in the
future. 1t can be what we will it to be

AFL-CIO MEMBERS OF

2s Per Cent Discrepancy Between Rise In Living Costs
And Wage Adjustments Allowed Under
The Little Steel Formula

Washington, D. C. QNS).-Facts and figures to support
organized assertion that have Jagged far behind
costs of living have been by the labor members of
the Presidential Committee on the Cost of Living.
The members have found that living costs have in

doubt on the accuracy of the labor
figures William II. Davis, chairman OF
the War Labor Board, to whom the
report was submitted. commented that
il was mot in any sense Il report of
the committee" but said that it would
be carefully studied before the com
mittee makes its report to the PreSi-
dent.
Thorough Study Made
George Meany, Socretary-treasuler OF
the American Federation of Labor and
r. J. Thomas, president of the United
Automobile Workers, CIO, made the
labor report, which was heavily docu-
mented, representing thorough studies
by the AFL and Go.
Declaring that the index of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics was worth
less as Il gauge in adjusting wages to
the cost of living, the labor report de-
clared that there was "a discrepancy
of 2S.l per cent between the rise in
living costs and the wage adjustments.
"a per cent Increases allowed under
the Little Steel formula"
Food costs the report added, had
jumped ~ per cent instead of the oiii-
cially acknowledged 4O,2 per cent ;
clothing, 122. instead of 33.7; rent, II,
instead of II, and houSefurniShingS
81, instead of 27.S
Bureau Statistics Questioned
AIeany and Thomas asserted that the
statistics of the Labor Department 5
bureau were inaccurate because their
range of background was too narrow
and that the Office of Economic sta
biliZation contributed to distortion OF
the price picture by cOnlining price
by the bureau. 60
Broadened study of the baSice itens
studied by the bureau--lood, clothing
rent and housctuImiShingS - were the
base of the labor report : conclusions
The report pointed out that the sta.
tisticS bureau figures took no account
of quality deterioration except nS this
entered into broad averages, of tho
disappearance of many cheaper lines
of goods, of th" fact that far more
persons eat meals away from hom,
than formerly or of other little things
that added up 10 big differences.
Union Report Cited
Giving an example of the little
things, the labor members quoted tron
Il report of the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees International Alliance, that
whereas I or $ pieces of meat formerly
Went into II stew, the number now was

Poverty Stricken Regions Of France Will Welcome Advancing Allied Armies

The richness of Normandy helped make life extremely comfortable for the Germans entrenched in their forts in that section of the Atlantic Wall. Some were com- parable to super hotels, air-con- ditioned, with electric lighting and all the domestic amenities associated with a Hollywood inc teFior In one of them a large room was found with parcels in process of being dispatched by German enlisted men to their families back home. containing three pounds of sweet butter, fat Cam enbert, cheese, cosmetics and trinkets.
 American troops will soon find, however that outside this rich agricultural belt the French have not been living on the fat of the land, especially the poorer people who could never have paid black market prices, Wages for unskilled labor were as low as 10 dollars a week and while people employed in skilled trades and armament factories were paid three times more. even they could not buy butter at six dollars pound, cheese at eight and meat at 10 dol- lars a pound, Instead, the poor had to depend on an often deficient Fati0ning system, Bread, the national staple food, was made mainly of bran, Small food shops in towns like BayeuX had signs indicating that Tationed foods like cheese, butter and sugar were ull- obtainable, Yet folks in these parts told how the Germans used butter to grease their boots.
 MEDAL OF MERIT
 As the Allies advance the scene will change vastly. Instead of lush pasture land and orchards of cherry, plum and apple trees grooming under the weight of fruit, smiling villages and neat towns, they will find mean streets and novels, especially in the tns dustFial zones, Here the children have pathetleally spindly legs and arms, young women are pre- matuFely aged, and during the past four years everyone has just barely maFaged to keep body and soul together, As the Yanks move farther on, their welcome will assuTedly be warmer than that of the Normandy peasants who probably resented the deE stFuctioD brought by war, They will be received with open arms by people who not only were despolled of everything, but uns derWent untold bumiliatiops and eFueltles at the hands Of the IDE Yader,

London. July T. - The realty of Frances hunger. poverty and dis ease is beginning to live up to the advance notices. now that the Allied Armies are leaving behind them the rich Normandy countryside and en- tertng their first big towns. The pic. ture will grow increasingly more grim as the armies progress and will provide the answer to the doubts in the fighting mems minds that per- haps after all Frances sufferings had been mere propaganda.
 When the Allies landed in Nor- mandy, many we're surprised to find 1t q Hand of milk and honey" Shops in the first small towns to be liberated were selI- ing luxuries such as the British had not seen over a period of four years. Meat, butter, eggs, fruit, sizeable stocks of cider and apple jack, even vintage wines and champagne were all obtain- able - at a price, This after four years of occupation.
 What the men did not realize was that Normandy is easily the richest province of France. It was the richest source of meat, dairy and poultry produce in Eu- r0pe-richeF even than Denmark, It Is no wonder. therefore, that despite the fact that the army of occupation took about 90 per cent of the produce (German requisltion orders and records kept by town clerks prove thlsl the remaining 10 per cent was sufficient to feed the Inhabitants reasonably well. leaving surplus from which to send parcels to relatives and friends in the towns,
