At the same time, the executive COM

This year the American Federation
of Labor, through the Labor League
for Human Rights, is undertaking its
third campaign on behalf of COmmun-
ity War Chests, its second on behalf of
the National War Fund. In the CAM

generous contributors to war relief and
community causes, and they have, in
these two years, taken an increasingly
active and responsible part in the gov
erning committees of Community and
War Chests.
Now, with victory approaching in
Europe, both the opportunities for ex-
tending relief abroad, and the moral
obligations for such relief, are greater
than ever. In addition to supporting
general relief activities in the liberated
countries, organized labor is preparing
an independent relief program, to be
sponsored by the free and democratic
trade union movements of these cOun-

rescued from concentration camps or
from forced labor. 1t will establish

There is almost no reconversion
problem in the home repair business,
Ferguson said, pointing out
Most Of the required materials have
retained their character throughout
the war, paint, plaster, cement, roofing,
lumber and electric wiring have re-
manned the same. They We're simply
diverted To war uses and at a stroke
Of a pen can 90 back to the peacetime
uses for which they We're developed in
the first place.
"Our biggest problem after the war
is going to be employment-both inn
mediately and over the long pull, y
Ferguson declared Home repair inn
proveinent is particularly large
employer of labOr-both skilled and
unskilled"
He estimated that about half the
expenditure for bone repair and i'm
proyement goes TO labor on the job
while also creating jobs in factories
and in the field of transportation.
Discussing the rule which lending
institutions, aided by the FILA, may
expect to play in the postwar era.
Ferguson said that the FILA stands
ready to resume its full peacetime pace
in insuring improvement and repair
loans under Title / of the National
Housing Act as soon as wartime re-
strictiOns on materials and credit can
be lifted.
Regarding the potentiality of this
field, Ferguson pointed out that, ac-
cOrding TO the 1910 Census Report, of
the nearly 37,5O0,000 dwelling units
in the United States, 65OO,O00 needed
some type of major structural repairs
and an additional 10,S00,0O0 needed
plumbing improvement alone.

Washington, ID. C.-Lieutenant Gen-

of munitions and supplies for the army

has been most gratifying" he said.

That was years ago, he pointed
out, and in the meantime innumerable
repair jobs had to be deferred during

political assets totally impervious tc

First, there are the 5000 900 civil
ian Federal employees whose hope OF
staying on the pay roll is tied up
with the Roosevelt candidacy; Sec
ond, there is the CIO with its huge
campaign funds, its "all-out for
Roosevelt" declarations, its country
wide organization and its leaders
who are recognized as having the
major part in the management of
the fourth-term campaign; third,
there are the American Labor party
in New York, the Communists, who
themselves will have no presidential
candidate this time, and other of
the radical groups; fourth, there is
the great Negro vote in the pivotal
Northern and border States. the
bulk of which has been Mr.. Roose-
velt's twice.
Unquestionably, the most impor-
tant of the four is the Negro vote
This is the biggest single voting
group in the country. Should Mr.,
Roosevelt lose much of his previous
support from it, his chances would
be greatly diminished. Signs that
it is slipping disturb the White
House politicians more than any,
thing else.
Evidence of this is given in the
almost frantic efforts being made
by the left-wing press and admin
istration politicians to convince Ne
gro leaders that Gov. Dewey is a
wicked man who will "betray" them

One Of the interesting things
about this administration is the
extraordinary manner in which, for
IL years, it has managed to camou-
fage the most sordid and practical
kind OF politics with a false and
glittering veneer of idealism. For
the purpose OF re-electing the Presi-
dent, this twice has proven an ex-
ceedingly effective combination. AS
he reaches for a fourth term it is
still the main dependence.
For example. the present propa-
ganda is based on the assumption
that Mr.. Roosevelt is the only man
capable of assuring victory for the
United Nations; that no other is fit
to be trusted to make the peace or

spend four more years in the White
House. Essentially, these are the
same arguments used to promote the
third-term effort.
However well they may 60 with
the gullible, there was not then
and there Is not now-anything in
the record to sustain these argu-
ments and they have been pretty
we'll refuted by the facts. The
real refutation, however, comes
from their source-the White
House aides who devise and dis
tribute them. Obviously, II they
believed them they would rely
upon them. But they do not rely
upon them at all-less this time in
fact, than In the third-term draft"
Never Was = Draft"
1t wasn't q draft then and it
isn't draft now. The draft" and
the Overwhelming demand" were
clearly manipulated in 1910 and
they are being manipulated now
This is not to say there is no gen.
uine sentiment for Mr.. Roosevelt; it
is to say that the sentiment would
be insufficient and Intellectual unless
heavily stimulated and worked up.
It was Gov. Dewey who, two
years ago, said that no man was
ever drafted" for the presidency
without conniving in the draft. Un-
doubtedly, Mr.. Dewey is conniving
in his own draft" but no more
than Mr.. Roosevelt is conniving in
his.
One difference is that Mr.. Roose-
velt has vastly more power to bring
about draft than Mr.. Dewey
and to make it seem real. So long
as he is in the White House, the
great weight Of the Federal machine
is sufficient to insure any number of
denominations for the President. 1t
prevents any formidable candidate
from arising within the party. 1t
keeps down real convention COM
petition.
Thus, for the denomination this
year, as in 1910, reliance is not upon
altruistic arguments and public
sentiment, though that is the pre-
tense, but upon the powerful Fed
eral machine with which, through
patronage, are linked the big city
bosses such rs Hague Of New Jersey,
the CConnells of Albany, Laughlin
Of Tammany, Kelly Of Chicago and
others.
Same Talk Of Sacrifice"
Barring bad health, through these
instruments the fourth nomina-
ton will be obtained. But, both
before and after, the same altru-
istic arguments will be used, the
same talk about sacrifice" will be
maintained and the credulous,
though perhaps diminished in num-
bers this time, will be deluded.
Much can be done with these argu-
ments, because administration pub
hcity advantages are great. But by
no means can enough be done to
elect Mr.. Roosevelt q fourth time.
The reliance for that is not upon
argument, but upon certain concrete
