Demand Repeal Of Smith
Connolly Act Reorgdnizd-
ton Of Dept. Of Labor

Chicago (FP)--LabOr'S voice sound
ed before the Democratic National
Conventions platform committee July
1S with the biggest crowd of the ses.
sion packed into the Stevens Hotel
ballroom to hear AFL President Will
liam Green and CIO President Philip
Murray on their ideas of program
for America.
Green read his proposals for inter
national cooperation, reconstruction
full employment, exemption of low
income taxes and revision of the Wag-
ner act which were identical with the
ones he presented the Republican
group here two weeks ago.
The AFL president stressed his de-
mand for repeal of the Smith-Connally
act and reorganization of the Depart
ment of Labor, with the various fed
eral labor agencies brought under its
control.
Murray followed Chairman Sidney
HilIman Of CIO Political Action Com
mittee, who read the national program
Of the committee as adopted at its
recent conference in Washington.
Murray told the committee that
military victory must bring with it
the assurance of lasting peace, that
lasting peace must rest upon the utter
destruction of fascism everywhere OH
this earth, upon the full realization by
all men everywhere of the four free
dOms"
The CIO chief urged the party to
stand firmly "by the principles of
foreign. policy enunciated by the Presi-
dent and expressed In the Good Neigh
Dor policy, the Atlantic Charter, the
Moscow, Cairo and Teheran agree
ments" and called them ''the founda-
tons of durable peace
Murray called for a policy of sta
biliZatiOn permitting wage increases
which will realistically reflect the rise
in living costs, while strengthening and
vigorously enforcing price and rent
controls and rationing" He said full
employment and full production can be
reached through the effective and
planned cooperation of the major
groups In our national life-industry,
labor and agriculture, working to-
gether with and assisted by govern
ment."
He urged that the new economic bill
of rights, enunciated by President
Roosevelt January II, be adopted as
"the basic objective of our national
policy" He suggested that the senate
and house adopt a resolution to that
end and set up national planning
board of industry, labor, agriculture

The American Federation of Labor
and its members knew then, as all
Americans know now, that this man
Hitler was blight upon civilization,
and curse upon the human race. We
despised him and everything he stood
for. We made extraordinary efforts to
rescue and save the victims of his
oppression and persecution and to find
refuge for them. No other non-sec-
tartan organization has served so
faithfully and so tireleSsly I'm the battle
to establish Palestine as the Jewish
national homeland No other labor or
ganiZatiOn has worked SO consistently
and whole-heartedly through under
ground channels and through agencies
find a haven for those whom we were
able to rescue from Hitler's wrath.
When victory in this war is won,
justice demands complete retribution
against those responsible for Hitler's
crimes against humanity and full
reparation to the surviving victims of
his wrath. We cannot restore the lives
Of those who have been wantonly kill
ed, but we can try to heal the broken
hearts of the living and return to them
their stolen liberties and their mate
rial possessions.
Above all, the American Federation
Of Labor intends to press with all its
power ut the peace conferences for the
permanent establishment of Palestine
as the Jewish national homeland. We
want 1t established as II free, demo
cratic, self-governing land, with no
strings attached by Great Britain or
any other power.
Great Britain has forfeited its right
to stewardship over the affairs of
Palestine by repudating its own
promises to the Jewish people and by
attempting to enforce the infamous
White Paper Palestine must he as free
and Independent as any other nation
after the war, and to that end, we
advocate that all restriction against
immigration Of Jewish refugees to that
country be lifted at once
In broad sense, even such measures
are not enough. No nation, no people
on earth can ever again feel secure if
our peacemakers permit return to
the Kind of international anarchy

Washington, June II = French
General Charles de Gaulle's accept
ance of President Roosevelt's invita-
ton to come to Washington would
give the United States q first hand
gander at the most controversial
cuss of the entire war.
People who have any ideas at all
on the character come only two
ways they are either violently
for him or just as violently against
him. The people who are for him
the sentimentalist lovers Of anything
French and the critics of anything
done by the U. s. Department Of
State have made the most noise.
Thus the good in General de Gaulle
has received the most publicity,
which Is probably as 1t should be.
The line is that de Gaulle is the
embodiment of all French virtues,
the leader Of the Fighting French,
the one man who has emerged
from the fall of France. AS such 1t
is asked by his partisans and emo
tional sympathizers why the United
States has not given him full recog-
milton.
PSYCHOLOGICALLY SICK
The other side Of the de Gaulle
character Is best portrayed by his
own actions, which reveal him as
one of the worlds most diff1cult
people.
He is explained as personifica-
ton of psychologically sick France.
Defeated, overrun by the Germans
for four years, governed by Nazi
collaborationistS at home, under
nourished, fighting underground, it
is small wonder that the average
Frenchman today possesses ter
rible inferiority complex and be-
HAYES accordingly. If General de
Gaulle typifies that spirit he can
perhaps be pardoned, but that still
does not make him easier to deal
with. His presumption is colossal,
and apparently growing.
He began his career as head Of
Fighting French military resistance
modestly enough. The British had
their troubles with him before the
United States was forced into the
war, but the British were apparently

FARM SAFETY WEEK
PROGRAM Is READY
State Senator Frank Peet
to Be Formally Named
Chairman

State Senator Frank H. Peet Of
Kent, former Master Of the Con-
necticut State Grange and for years
q member Of the Connecticut High
way Safety Commission, will be
named chairman Of the Connecticut
Farm Safety Week Program which
the Safety Commission will Spon-
sor next month in conjunction with
the National Safety Council, as
part of a national project.
Senator Peet was asked to serve
as Connecticut chairman by Hon
orable Arthur r. Ellis, chairman Of
the State Safety Commission, who
was requested by the National
Safety Council to nominate the pro-
ject head in Connecticut. Because
Of the senator's long experience as
an agriculturalist, and as a member
Of the Safety Commission, Justice
ELS stated he was confident Con-
necticut's contribution to nation
wide rural safety promotion would
be substantial. THE entire facilities
Of our statewide safety organiZa-
ton are behind Senator Peet in
RuOAAC WCAA AAOVCAACAAVs
stated the Safety Commission head.
Farm Safety Week In Conecti-
cut, as well as in every state in the
Union, will comprise an intensive
drive against trafflc, home and work
accidents similar to those that IN
jure q million and half rural res
idents annually In this country. The
statewide program will be con-
Quoted in cooperation with the Uni
ted States Department Of Agricul-
ture, the War Food Administration,
the National Safety Council, all
Connecticut farm organizations and
the Connecticut Safety Commits
sion.
Secretary Of Agriculture Claude
r. Wickard recently urged that all
farm groups join Fundamentally In
supporting the Farm Safety Week.
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones, commenting on Farm Safety
Week, has stated In part that "one
way to increase farm man-power
and production Is to prevent the loss
Of time through accidents"

What Can You Do With
De Gaulle?
His Friends Worship Hm-HS Enemies Hate Him-And
He Can't Get Along With Either Friend Or Enemy
A Revealing Study Of Frances Enigmatc Leader

Of the French Committee Of Ma
tional Liberation abolishing itself
and changing It's name TO Pro-
vision Government Of the French
Republic.
CAN'T CONTROL HIM
Politics and power have been HIS
complete ruination.
De Gaulle's ditching Of General
Giraud was not protested by either
the British or American govern
ments, but It Is considered typical
Of his inability to get along with
anyone he cannot dominate, The
British have had little success In
trying to control him, but they 60
on being nice to him, apparently
with the hope that after the wars
over de Gaulle will be inclined to
be friendly. a
Instances Of de Gaulle's inability
to cooperate are numerous. Since
the liberation Of North Africa, his
administration has been able to
build up certain stockpiles Of To-
cally-produced cereals and oils. In
stead Of throwing these stockpiles
into the common military hopper
with British and American supplies,
however, the French supplies are
being held back, presumably as re-.
lief to be administered politically
by his own oflcials.
Bulk Of both military and civilian
relief supplies for France has, Of
course, come from the United States
including some supplies for North
Africa. Even the arms struggled into
the French underground have been
American made. But there has been
no thanks from de Gaulle since lend
lease was first opened to his forces
In July 1912.
Whatever the French Committee
has bought and paid for out Of It's
own revenues and such French Re-
public funds as 1t could lay hands
on, has gone for civilian supplies.
All military supplies for the French
Army have been charged up against
British and American governments
as a cost Of the war, and have been
furnished free to the French.
OBSTREPEROUS
On the question Of providing cur
rency for the invasion forces, de
Gaulle baked at the use Of francs
backed by Great Britain and the
United States. What he wanted
was to have the currency issued In
the name Of his provisional govern
ment and distributed only by his
men.
The climax Of his obstreperous-
ness came Just before the invasion
when, standing safely on the shores
Of England, he blasted three times
at General Eisenhower. First
against the terms Of Eisenhower's
proclamation to the French people.
Second against Eisenhower's ar
rangements for civil and military
government in liberated French
areas. Third by refusing to allow
more than 20 officers Of his army
to act as liaison between the Allied
armies and the French people and
by instYucting those hand-picked Of
ficers to work against the Allied
military government.
What can you do with man like
that? A good bet would be that six
months after all Of France Is nber-
ated, the French people themselves
will have torn him to shreds.
