BEATING The ROBOT
(San Diego Union)

One of the achievements Of the Allied
forces in France, secondary to the main
objective but of vital Importance to mil
lions of Englishmen, is the apparent end
ing of the robot bomb menace. The Brit
ish censorship discloses that since June
II over 5000 of these bombs Were launch
ed against England, but that only 2300
We're effective. This number proved suf-
ficient to Kill 5817 Britons, injure more
than 1900 and inflict property damage
running into millions of pounds. In4f-
fective as military weapon, the robot
has been q real terror to England, and
its elimination is hailed with Joy by the
civilized world.

LABOR CONSCRIPTION?
THE ARMED forces wish to take mil

TIHE ARMED forces wish to take million more
men from essential industries and propose tt
ldraft workers to fill the job vacancies that will be
Icreated This is not the first time that conscrptior
Iof labor has been proposed by the military.
There is no group of citizens in this country
THAT would deny the armed forces what they neeC
to win this war. On the other hand, there are few
groups that think the armed forces should be
permitted to impose needless sacrifice or to en-
danger the institutions for which we fight.
Our pride in our achievements in this war is
because what we have accomplished has been
through the voluntary work of free people who
sacrificed as a matter of principle. Wage-earners
in the United States have voluntarily initiated the
greatest worker migration in any country to be
where they are needed. They have cooperated in
voluntary controls that have been eXacting. They
have worked longer hours to meet higher costs of
living, accepted the difficulties of price and ration
ing control, invested their savings in war bonds.
They have seen their sons and their comrades 90
to the front and they know they must give an
accounting on their return.
The military are pressing an analogy of obi
cation between service in the armed forces and
the making of munitions. They neglect to point
out that citizens conScrpted for military duty
are under public control, with uniform conditions
of work, and in the public service, whereas men
and women conscrpted for war production would
work under varying conditons-for private en-
ployers in business conducted for private profit
and without public responsibility.
In the last analysis even the Army depends
upon cooperation to make orders effective 1t
would be folly to endanger abors cooperation by

VACATIONS to renew their energies ana en-
thusiasm" are needed by American workers,
and it is now time to make arrangements Tor
them, WPB Chairman Donald NJ Nelson said in a
statement "In a prolonged war, such as this,
there is great danger of chronic fatigue, and con-
sequent loss of production from increased illness
and injuries, and decreased quantity and quality
of goods produced" Nelson says.
But vacations must be arranged without cur
failing production, Nelson points out I'm order,
therefore, that worker productivity shall not de-
cline or production be curtaed because OF Vaca-
tions, it is important that labor and management
make plans in advance Plants must not be shut
down for this purpose Granting vacations may
require staggering vacation schedules, training
other employees to handle the work temporarily,
working additional overtime, or other similar ar
rangements so as not to interrupt production ne
says. 80
WPB wants to emphasize the Importance, Mel
son adds, ''of not permitting any worker to waive
his vacation in order to receive his vacation pay
as additional income Such practice would defeat
the whole purpose of vacations
In the same connection comes plea from OD'I'
to "spend your vacation at home" Civilians are
urged to forego completely the short-haul trips
which usually reach peak in the summer time, as
well as the longer away-from-home journeys.
Inconvenience which travelling civilians eX-
perience now-such as riding standing in the
aises long waits in crowded stations delayed
arrivals and lack of dining facilities air con-
ditoned coaches and even redcaps to help with
baggage-will be intensified when vacation timel
gets around, OD'r warns, and points out trans
portaton is needed for war purposes.

OUR MANPOWER,

THE COUNTRY is wondering how many times
= the chiefs of our fighting machine and oul
var industry going to have to tell their story
IF the Ineffective use Of manpower to make ar
Impression on Congress.
They have said again and again that the re-
cent turnover among war workers is seriously
interfering with the manufacture of weapons, anc
recently WPB Chief Nelson pronounced the man
power shortage in the casting foundry industries
desperately acute.
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal told the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee that the turnover
of workers in Navy yards has increased to 60 per
cent. Admiral Thomas l.. Catch, who commanded
the batteship South Dakota through a series of
spectacular battles in the South Pacific expressed
grave concern over rising resentment of men in
the ranks against workers at home who leave
their war Jobs for trivial reasons
In short, these men have laid before Congress
the question as to whether we are going to fight
this war as a Nation united in strength. The issue
is sharply drawn also in the Selective Service Sys
tenn report on the disposition of men subject to
registration for military service
Records show that of 22216,809 men regis
tered, 9,908,277 have been furnished to the armed
forces In other words, more than one-half the
regiStrantS are free from any command to serve
their country in this hour of need Some of these,
of course have been deferred because they are
more useful in war industry than they would be in
the armed forces.
The inescapable fact is that civilians are not
carrying their full share of the burden in this war
In consideration for the great sacrifice that is be-
ing made by our men at the Front for the National
welfare, no able bodied man should leave his job
on the Home Front except to take other work
where he can be more useful to his country
If he does so, the Government should certainly
be in a position to say to him that his deferment|
from military service will longer be effective.

THE POSTWAR FORUM

EXPERIENCE after the First World War taught
"A American labor that not only must we win
the war on the production and fighting fronts but
ION the peace front also To get ready for third
responsibility the 1912 convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor authorized the appoint
ment of Postwar Planning Committee. This
committee began its work in January of the fol-
lowing year 1t has made various reports on spe-
cial problems but it's first general report was
made public at notable national forum held IN
New York last month.
A group representative of labor in the whole
country. approximately 500 in number, met in this
forum in which experts in special fields presented
information on various fundamental problems in
both the international and domestic fields. AS the
report Of our committee pointed out the two great
foes of human welfare are war and unemploy-
ment With respect to both of these problems
individuals are helpless. Collective action is re-
quired both at the national and the international
levels. There must be agencies and agreements to
deal with situations and problems that cause war
and unemployment. In the main, the agencies
necessary can be had by extending arrangements
and agreements already in existence and giving
them permanent and broader responsibilities. The
important thing is to do our thinking and plan
ming before time for action comes, and to make
sure that the membership of our unions under
stands and approves our proposals.
AS in the last war the final decision on inter
national treaties and proposals lies with those who
vote in our elections. We must have international
policy and elect persons to put it into effect. We
must have international agencies and arrange
ments whose effectiveness will depend upon the
of private organizations as well as
national cooperation 1t follows therefore that the
work of our postwar committee is continuing
one.

PEPPER SAYS DEMOCRATS
MUST BE LIBERAL TO WIN

Washington (FP).-The Democratic
party must enthusiastically support
President Franklin ID. Roosevelt and
the liberal principles for which he
stands in order to win the November
election, Senator Claude Pepper o.
Fla.) said May Is.
Pepper spoke at press conference
at the capitol upon his return from his
victory in the Florida primary.
Speaking of the Democratic party,
Pepper said IF we go out apologizing
and retracing, we are going to lose. IL
we ever start making the Democratic
party the conservative party we are
done. If the people want liberalism,
the Democratic party is the party to
vote for. If they want conservative
government they will go to the Repub-
licans."
Pepper said he was convinced Presi-
dent Roosevelt would be forced to run
for reelection.

WPB ADVISES PLANNING NOW
FOR INDUSTRIAL VACATIONS

Washington (FP) P).-Chairman Don
aid NJ. Nelson of the WPB May 19 de-
clared it is now time to make arrange
ments il industrial workers are to re-
ceiye vacations this year without cur
failing production.
Nelson said it is important that la
Dor and management plan in advance
in order that worker productivity shall
not decline or production be cut be-
cause of vacations. AS a final word,
Nelson said ''The WPB wants to EN-
phasize the Importance of not per-
mitting any worker to waive his vaca-
tion In order to receive his vacation
pay as additional income Such a prac-
tice would defeat the whole purpose
of acations-increasing production by
restoring the workers energy and
zeal"

LABOR CAN TAKE LEAD

I ABOR in Maryland has shown the way to ;

tended.
The two sessions in the conference were de-
voted to a discussion Of the technique employed
by disruptve elements to SOW confusion among
the groups which make up America. 1t was EN-
phasized that anti-Senitsm and racial prejudice
are powerful weapons in the hands of the reac-
tionary elements who trying to destroy the
American trade union movement.
Speakers included Matthew Woll, AFL vice
president; James b. Carey, ClO secretary-treas-
urer and Adolph Held, national chairman of the
Jewish Labor Committee
Following the addresses, which were broad
cast, resolution was unanimously adopted called
upon labor to intensity the struggle against all
forms of group intolerance and discrimination
against mnorities. If labor generally will respond
actively to this call, it can take the lead in curb
ing one of the most hateful and disturbing tenden-
ces in present-day American life

! COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

The people of Holland are looking
forward to and planning for, better
economic and social system after the
war.
Declaring that recent war news
justifies the assumption that the day
of Hollands liberation is near, q
Dutch underground pamphlet received
in London appealed to adherents of al
former parties to submerge political
| factionalism in order to reach agree
ment on questions of social reform for
application after the Nazis are driven
out.
| The publication asked Hollanders to
begin centering their interest on the
political and economic future of Hol-
land, asserting that this future must
be based on agreement on social and
economic problems rather than on any
similarity of outlook on life, which be-
| fore the war was the uniting factor
between the various parties.
A prime problem to be determined
| by the people of the Netherlands, the
pamphlet stated, was whether or how
| far the principle of economic democ-
racy should be introduced into Neither
lands life in the future.
The pamphlet, which was distributed
throughout occupied Holland and pass
ed from hand to hand, was written by
5 unidentified but expert political con-
tributors representing 5 of the prin-
cipal parties ranging from the con-
servative Calvinist to the Communist
party, but excluding the liberal parties
Of the center. All stressed that Hol-
lands future could be solved only by
the application of democratic princi-
pies.
The underground document excused
the exclusion of liberal and liberal
democratic views on the ground that
these parties are not likely to intro
duce new elements in the future politi
cal life since they are likely to asso-
ciate themselves with either progress
sive or conservative future political
trends"
Only the democratic principle, the
document said, guarantees that every
voice counts in decisions which are
everyone's responsibility. Only this
principle guarantees the possibility of
revision of wrong decisions which
might lead to catastrophe conse-
quences."
"The experiences of these last years
have made us value the democratic
principle so highly that we realize
every consideration regarding the fu-
ture development of Holland must be
based on it," the pamphlet says.
In their plan for a new political life
for Holland, the underground writer's
rejected the former pet platform points
of the old political parties and the
solutions of new political spirits who
have risen during the German occupa
ton and who disregard the historical
traditions in favor of building political
castles in the air"
Although all writer's agreed that the |
democratic system must be supported,
their views differed considerably in
other respects, thus excluding the pos
sibility of the emergency of one all
embracing political party.
Nevertheless all tended to agree that |
the basis of cooperation between
parties should be agreement on social |
reform.
