Telling fhe Boys

Efforts of some of the daily papers,
many radio commentators and periodicals
to poison the minds of our fighting men
against the unions cannot be entirely
fruitless.
Realizing this, organized labor must
make an increasingly greater effort TO
neutralize the poison instilled into some
of the minds of the servicemen who must
depend upon the daily press and radio for
their news.
In addition to demanding that the gov
ernment tell the truth about the part
played by labor in the war effort, its sup
port of bond drives, its donations to the
Red Cross War Chests and blood banks,
and the sending of labor and progressive
publications to the fighting men, we must
depend upon the individual efforts of
union members to inform their friends
and former fellow workers about what
labor is doing.
Each of us should constitute ourselves
a committee of one to write To those who
formerly worked in the shops with us,
task which will not only bring us returns
in the gratitude of our members in the
armed services; but which will carry
much weight in overcoming the evil done
by labor haters who can make their mes
sage of i'll will against the unions sound
plausible.
III labor can successfully combat the
efforts OF those who are so busy tearing
down the unions, il will be they and not
the unions who will have TO answer to the
boys when they return 10 their homes.

Teor Jerker

DIR. Allen Stockdale, former Toledo
minister, came back to town last week to
talk to the workers of the Toledo Steel
Products Co. and impress upon them the
necessity for staying on the job. He came
here upon the invitation of Frederick c.
Crawford, former president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
When DIR. StockdaIe was stationed in
Toledo he was known as an outstanding
tear jerker. So aborbed would he become
in his subject that he himself often cried
as he eloquently painted word pictures
of sins and sinners. Some said the good
doctor had originally started out in life
to become an actor. Regardless, he is not
without histrOnic ability.
Two great facts were presented to the
workers of the Toledo Steel Products Co.
by DR.. Stockdale. One was that we are at
war, the other that production has reached
miraculous heights.
DIR. Stockdale is what is generally
known as an "inspirational" speaker,
whatever that is. He can soar to great
rhetorical heights and snow under group
of we'll educated people in a mess of ver-
biage which. would leave the average
worker confused but sincerely apprecia-
tive of the doctors great ability as an
orator of vaporous mouthings.
All in all, the net result of DIR. Stock
dale's trip to Toledo and his talk to the
workers netted exactly nothing, for the
good doctor is suspect in the minds of
the workers of Toledo. The workers of
Toledo will not forget, nor will DIR. Stock
dale ever live down, the words which he
uttered in 1919 when there was a strike
at the Willys-Overland plant. World War
/ had ended)
These are the words of the man who
now tries to tell the workers that there is
a war going on taken from the files of
the Toledo Blade of June 10, 1919:
"A man cannot be allowed to spread
doctrines that are as detrimental to our
institutions as smallpox and typhoid
germs to health.
Sometimes the philosophy of ma
chine guns is necessary to settle disturb
anceS."
This from a minister who now prosti-
of Manufacturers as he prostituted him
self in 1919 for the manufacturers of To-
ledo.

SPECIAL GROUPS
These groups include the so-caled "farm

working farmers, but the owners of the huge
farm factories on which farm labor is poorly
paid while the owners demand top prices
for their crops from the consumers.
Also included are the food professors and

labelling, who are opposed to subsidies and
who demand increased prices altho the record
plainly shows they have made larger profit

initiation was recently exposed by Walter
Ruether UAW-CIO vice president in his tes-

rancy Committee.
NEEDS DEFENSE
While it is true that the price control pro-
gram should certainly be both more complete
and more effective, it is step in sthe right
direction and must therefore, be defended by
the workers. For it is the workers who will
suffer the most if the enemies of price con-
troll manage to destroy it.

Dear Editor:
l think by now that most
readers of the public press are
well acquainted with the
meaning of the word "expend-
able. We have read much
about the Marines on Baatan
who were classified as ex-
pendable in order that they
might cover the withdrawal
of General MacArthur'S staff.
Writing as a member of La
bor's Joint Committee for Po-
litical Action, / have my own
personal list of eXpendables,
and hope to write these letters
on them from time to time in
the future.
First on my particular list
is Representative John Rankin
of Mississippi. Rankin, if you
will remember, is the labor
batter who, speaking on the
Lucas Green bill, said he
would stand till doomsday"
against the principles of the
Lucas Green bill.
This is understandable when
one realizes that Rankin was
elected by receiving exactly
1913 votes under the poll tax
system. Rankin's district has
sent some 10000 voters into
the armed forces, more than
enough to vote him out of of
flee thrice over, so Rankin's
1000 is going to tell 10000
soldiers that they can't vote.
They are going to tell them
they were only drafted and
sent overseas for the boat ride.
So far as the writer is con-
cerned, Representative John
Rankin is "eXpendable'.

Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1944-02-25
Okay, here goes.
THE FAMILY IDIOT

l think labor journalists
everywhere ought to take up
this invitation to discuss the
policies of the Communists.
We have too long acted as if
the Party were the idiot of
labor's family. That is, labor
editors and writers have pur-
posely void d discussing
Communist p o / ic i e in the
pages of the labor press.
What has been the motive
of this inclination to keep the
CP hidden way in labor's
attic?
The answer, l think, is two
fold: First, honest laborites,
while opposed to CP policies,
have been a fr a d to voice
their opposition openly. This
fear has been based upon two
reasons. The silent opponents
of CP policies have been re-
luctant to admit to the public
that the Communists are a
force in the labor movement;
and they have known that, if
they dared to attack the CP
openly, their heads would be
b a t t d with a storm of
charges of 'red-baiting." :"
Secondly, influential Com
munists entrenched in the
unions have willfully, and
quite successfully, suppressed
discussion of CP policies in
the area of their influence.
CP TOUCHINESS
There is something funny
and very puzzling about the
loneliness of the CP on the
su b e C of criticism of its
policies by non-Communists.
The Party seems to operate
on a theory of whole-hog or
none. Communists insist that
you are for them or against
them. They deny the exist
ence of any middle ground
of sincerity within which
non-Communist can be hon
estly critical Of Party policies.
To criticize the Communist
Party is always to lay one
self open to violent charges
of being a "red-baiter." F." To
actively organize opposition
to Communists policies is to
invite accusations of being a
"Trotskyite," a Socialist" or
a "disruptionist."
Even to attempt to analyze
the reasons under the Com
munist Party's unshakable be-
lief that it is always one hun
dred per cent right is to risk
denunciation as "r d.
batter"
HOW DISCUSS 1T?
How, then, is a non-Com-
munist to go about accepting
the invitation of the Daily
Worker to discuss the recent
shift in CP policy?
If one disagreeS with the
Party, or honestly criticizes,
it, he is doomed to the role
of a h e k Ter or a red
batter" So long as this stand
ard of judgement prevails
within the ranks of the CP,
the invitation to discussion is
a phoney.
There has been no genuine
freedom of thought or dis
cussions within Communist
circles. Communist thinking
is totalitarian, and it permits
discussion only to the point
of debating how to apply CP
policies. To question the pol
icies themselves is verboten.
To prove this, ask the first
Communist you meet if it is
possible for an anti-Com-
to posses a sincere de-
sire to achieve the good life?
They'll tell you every time
that anti-Communists in the
labor movement are crooks
and traitors bent on selling
out the workers to capitalists
in the old days-Fascists and
defeatiStS now.

of unemployed people begging for the right to

ernment projects
PLANNING
In order to prepare for the full employment
which we want after the war, we must begin
now to make plans for that period realize
that nobody can be certain of what the condi-
tions of the country will be by the time the
has ended; but we do know that people
will still have to keep living and that they
will have to work to earn their living
We know that industry can produce when
it is compelled to. We have observed the mar
velous war production, the cooperative efforts
of the workers in making the things which we
need to carry the war on and to bring it to
what now believe will be successful fin
Sh. AS we observe these things we wonder
why cannot produce for our own benefit
and use as we now produce to kill our enemies
and wreak destruction and ruin upon their
cities.
A NEW IDEA
Men are not going to forget the new idea
which is being instilled into their minds as
they observe American industry working in
high gear turning out the goods of destruction
When this war is over, the people of this coun-
try are not going to be satisfied with anything
short of full employment and greater mesD
ure of security. Workers now putting in MANI
hours of overtime, sometimes almost to the
point of wrecking their health, not going
to be content with part-time or occasional en-
ployment. We will not be able to hold our
people in line by putting them to work digging
holes in the ground one day and filling them
up the next.
Make no mistake about it, labor is going to
be articulate in the postwar world. 1t is going
to demand full employment and the oppor-
tunty to earn the rewards it now knows are
possible in our economy. We must have an
economy of plenty and it must be made avail
able to those who produce it.
