In the Mogaung Valley 40 miles
to the west, Chinese troops drove to

Kamaing, despite heavy rains and

were reported to have withdrawn
from a road block position after five
days of heavy fighting.
On the East Indian front, British
Imperial troops gained their initial

Counter Attack
The Germans counter attacked
strongly with tanks and flame
throwers all along the front from
Campoleone to Valmontone in a
desperate effort to throw the Fifth
army back from the approaches to
their Alban Hill defense line, but
all attacks we're repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy.

doing all In his power to resist our
advance against the Valmontone-
Velletri line south of highway six

communique.
Despite this, British and Amer

Robert v. Vermillion, United Press
War Correspondent with the Fifth
army, disclosed that the new drive
from the beachhead was launched
Friday avross the flatlands below
the Alban Hills.
The Americans gained more than
a mile in the first hour alone and
met comparatively little resistance
until they reached the approaches
to Campoleone.
U. S. Advance
The American advance carried
across the Anzio- Albano road north
Of bitterly-contested Aprilia and
soon afterward British beachhead
forces captured the factory area of
that town.

Agency DNB acknowledged the loss
of Apria and said itsr uins were

The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-12-18

In calling to the attention of the Senate
the position of the Congress of Industrial Or
PLANTATIONS on foreign policy, Pres. Philip MUIR
raw has urged the most careful consideration
of every appointee and policy concerned with
international affairs.
His advice applies not only to our repre-
sentatives In Washington but also to the peo-
ple who elected them. For it is certainly the
peoples business to see that peoples peace
results from this peoples war. The future lives
livelihood and freedom Of all Of US depend to-
day more than ever before on what is usually
called foreign policy
Every CLIO member in particular should
study the CLOS unanimously adopted policy
and be alert to see that its patriotic and pro-
pressive principles are adhered to by his re-
representatives..
The first point In CLOS foreign policy Is
United Nations unity for the complete de-
struction of Axis tyranny and for postwar
reconstruction; and full support for Presi-
dent ROOsevelt's determined leadership in
this direction.
CLOS next point is that there must be no
negotiated or soft peace" This reflects la
boris determination that there must be no
truce with fascism; that the German people
must make restitution for their crimes; and
that there must be no concessions to their
ruling classes, on account of their business and
social contacts, that will permit them to renew
their drive for world conquest in the future.
To insure a lasting peace, the CLIO calls
for complete support for the world organiza-
ton outlined at Dumbarton Oaks. 1t asks for
its immediate formation and opposes any res
srvations, or denial Of authority to our rep
resentatives on this body, that might block
the use of armed force to check aggression.
To make labor's voice effective In win
ming o peoples peace, the CIO demands
labor representation at all international
conferences and ut the final peace table.
cos next major demand 10 for the

Our Stake In Foreign Affairs

elimination of fasciSm wherever it may be
found" This means barring Franco Spain and
the fascist government of Argentina from the
United Nations, and aiding the peoples OF
such countries to win freedom and democracy.
For the present war really began when
Hitler and Mussoln launched their armed at
tack on Spanish democracy to place Franco In
power. And experience has shown that when
fascism takes root in any country it threatens
the peace and freedom of all other countries.
The final point in CLOS major foreign
policy resolution is self-government and self
determination for the peoples of India Ire
land, Africa and Ashland aid for their rapid
industrialization and social and economic ad-
vancement, without any determinations based
on race, creed or color.
In this, the CLIO recognizes that i'm
perialistic policies which hold nations and
races In subsection, and retard their
economic and social progress, are not only
unjust but also lead to world depression
and future wars.
The CLIO also recognizes that expanding
world trade Is necessary for postwar prosperity
and jobs for all.
This calls for stabilized currencieS and in
ternational provision Of credit, as planned at
Breton Woods, so devastated and undeveloped
countries may get capital and goods for re-
Mobilization and industrialization - and the
barring of such cartels as nourished Nazi i'm
perialism, restricted production and placed
profits above the interests of the common
people.
To achieve all the above detectives,
American labor needs the support and CO.
operation Of labor In other countries.
Fundamental, therefore, to the whole pro-
gram is CLOS stand for international labor
unity; for closer relations with Latin-American
labor and the new labor movements of Italy
and other countries; and for a new world
labor body that shall include all the unions Of
free countries on basis Of equality.

~ tests of the way people think
is known as the Association test"
IT consists Of mentioning a word
and requiring a person, at once
and without thinking. to say the
first thing this word suggests to
him.
As a parlor game, It sometimes
produces startling, amusing or en-
barrassing results. You may be
surprised, for instance, to find
what or whom a word like "love"
or kiss" may first suggest to some
Of your best friends, IL they're
really caught off guard and an
swer honestly. Or the only answer
may be u rosy blush.
This test can also reveal how
peoples thinking changes. Be-
fore the war, word like "dip-
lomat" would have brought re-
actions like silk hat" Intrigue"
tact" ambassador" social
functions secrecy" Career"
etc.
But today you would probably
also get reactions revealing .
deeper realization of what diplO-
macy and foreign policy really
mean to us-such as "war and
peace" "fascism," democracy"
"world organization" etc.
II you read the society pages
Of the papers. you may get the
impression that diplomatic life Is
a constant round Of parties at
which vapid but Immediately
groomed gents and gorgeously
gowned danes balance tea-cups
and engage in formal chit-chat
about the weather to avoid saying
anything significant.
AS to diplomatic statements, they
are usually SO carefully worded
that to the uninitiated they sound
like obvious and meaningless
bromides. One wonders how the
newspapers can read into them
such sensational and often vary
ing interpretations.
But It must be remembered that
the ruling classes of most coun-
tries have long tried to keep di-
plomacy and foreign policy as their
private property. They have fenced
them around with the trappings
of wealth and high society" and
with all sorts Of protocol and
mumbo-jumbo.
They have tried to give the i'm
preston that such matters OF state
are too highbrow, too complicated,
too technical-or even too trivial
or meaningless-to concern the
man in the street.
Ordinary folks have too often
fallen for this guff-until sud-
denly they are landed In world
depression, an international crisis
or q war.
Then they realize that all this
