Some may say that is natural, but
whether it is or is not natural, it is
certainly mighty small politics in the

any other decade.
The American people as a whole

but if they are not fooled it will not

they insist, is inhuman and can never
be agreed to by self-respecting Ger

These self-respecting Germans are
familiar to the world. They advocate
force and the only thing they respect
is force. It's now coming right at
them, and they're squirming, cdying
for sympathy.

Nothing can make us forget their

Relief supplies OF every description,
from cigarettes to surgical instru-
ments, are covered in the AFL's 1914
war relief program for the workers
of the United Nations, according to
Abraham Bluestein, executive director
of the Labor League for Human
Right, official relief arm of the AFL.
Labor's own war relief program,
jointly sponsored by AFL and CIO
through the war relief societies of
the National War Fund, includes such
projects as feeding famine victims
in India, establishing vocational
schools, child welfare centers and
workers rest houses in China, supply
ing medical equipment for the work
ers of Palestine, both Jewish and
Arab, and maintaining merchant sea-
mems homes in Britain for sailors of
all the United Nations. Bulk ship
ments of warm clothing for the wo-
men of Russia were an item in this
past winters program, and additional
shipments are planned during the
rest Of 1914.
These projects, through which aid
goes to the workers of the United
Nations, have been in existence for
more than 2 years. A typical project,

Our greatest issue lies in how to
manage the end Of the war and the
months after the war. What kind of
domestic reconstruction are we to
have-and what kind of peace?
After World War l, the American
nation carried the torch for idealism
and it was given the works by des-
peradoes abroad and at home.
There is darned little reason to ex-
pect anything else this time.
From abroad there is too much in
dication of a wish to rest the peace
on power politics; at home there is
a lot of evidence Of support for that
idea.
If we haven't had enough of power
politics, then we are looking right
down the gun barrels of the next war
But, with the greatest issues of all
time facing US, we have politicians
ignorant enough, selfish enough and
corrupt enough to dare to drag red
herrings across the trail, so that the
election may be decided on any but
the real issues.
We have some labor men who are
just as narrow and selfish and stupid
as are to be found anywhere outside
the ranks of labor.
1t isn't hard to point out labor Of
ficials who, whatever their lip SER
vice may be, are doing their real
work on the basis of whether or not
they got what they wanted out of

CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
, the truth about many things. Sometimes
profoundly. Sometimes Aippantly. some
times rscklessly.

There doesn't seem to be much point
to raising the issue of the city politi-
cal bosses, as some are inclined to do,
pointing out that such persons as
Hague, Kelley, ct al are in the Demo-
cratic camp.
You can line the bosses all up and
you'll find that maybe the pot bet
ter not start calling the kettle black.
The Republicans have their full
share of shady characters backing the
party. And they have more than their
share of great corporations and what
some disrespectful persons have called
the filthy rich.
The worst thing about accepting
the support of political bosses is that
such alliances tend to perpetuate the
boss in power.
AS for Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
way to judge him is on the basis of
HIS performance. He has had city
boss support in every campaign.
What Mr.. Dewey will do, if any
thing, to repay the retinue of Repub-
lican bosses is an unknown quantity.
Maybe nothing.
The boss issue is scarcely worth
wasting ink on, as far as the national
campaign is concerned. You might as
we'll say that neither candidate should
accept the support of horse track
owners, which one or both of them
certainly will do, perhaps willy nilly.
BY and large, such minor issues are
used to smear the main issues.
Persons who don't do their own
thinking now and then get carried
away by such smears and as a re-
suit vote the wrong way.
Politics, in many ways, is about
the lowest form of life. SO many poll
ticians seem to believe that they are
by no means bound to tell the truth
in a campaign, if lie will serve bet
ter, or if a half truth will be more
deadly, as it often is.

a welfare center in one of the small.
er industrial cities Of China, served
more than 10000 workers in it's first
3 months Of existence, and the rest
of labor's relief program has proved
to be an equally important contri-
button to the health and morale OF
our allies, Bluestein said.
In broadcast to the workers OF
Latin America, President William
Green of the American Federation OF
Labor emphasized some truths that
need saying again and again. "Ou1
first interest" he said, "is to estab-
lish and maintain international peace
There can be no security for workers
in any land as long as wars are per-
mitted to occur. The postwar program
of the AFL recognizes the fact that
war is the great destroyer and the
most serious enemy to the aspirations
of mankind.
international peace can only be
attained by international cooperation
among the nations Of goodwill. In the
United States and in other lands, this
truth is now accepted.
"The causes of war are not only
political but economic in character.
Poverty and hunger are the whips
that drive people to war despite the
best resolutions in the world And
labor realizes now more clearly than
ever before that poverty anywhere
constitutes danger to prosperity
everywhere"
