New York City ULNS)-The Ameri-

The Nazis never really succeeded in

which was largely Socialist, the trans

that in 1918, the first signs of the Ger

that in the pre-war period, United

AS a guranatee of future peace and
economic stabilization, Senator Wheeler
urged the setting up of a federation of
European states.
McMillen, who is president of the
National Farm Chemurgic Council,
told the conference that agriculture,
labor and management had a mutual
interest in the protection of American
industry and the lifting of the Ameri-
can standard of living.
Farmers" he said "are keenly
aware that the great desire to see in
dustries prosper and commercial en-
terprises active. They have observed
that well-paid workers who are busy
the year round are much better Gus
toners for food than ill-paid part-time
workers.
Agriculture, McNIillen declared, is
by no means an isolated enterprise,
and no one realizes better than do the
widespread employment at good wages.
He declared:
BUSY and well-paid cities are the
primary market for agricultures prim-
airy output, which is food. Farmers are
against policies which may diminish
the effective demand for food any
where in the nation. They want to see
labor fully employed and adequately
paid.
Consequently, agriculture generally

are necessary to insure full activity by

Nelson S Retooling
Permit Finds CITY

Report Some Shops Engaged

For Some Time

Detroit (FP). War Production
Chairman Donald Nelson's ruling per
mitting retooling in limited form for
civilian auto production finds Detroit
shops all set for reconversion, so far
as war production allows.
In fact quite a number of shops beat
the gun and have been privately en-
time. Workers in General Motors
plants in Detroit and Flint and in the
Packard toolroom in Detroit have told
of quiet retooling for the new cars
through the past winter.
Nelson's order lets manufacturers,
subject to war needs, to make one
working model of proposed peacetime
products and to buy the tools or ma
terials necessary for it.
President George w. Miller of the
Detroit-W Wayne County Tool & Die
Council Omitted Auto Workers., who
was i'm the forefront of the union de
mand for prompt war conversion by
industry, says:
The Nelson order will save man
hours in two important ways. In a
number of tool and die shops workers
are kept on the payrolls, even though
there Is little for them to do, because
the employers want ample manpOwer
when the word comes through for re-
conversion. Now they have the word
and this waste of skilled manhourS
will be reduced.
THE other saving is even more inn
pressiye. Auto manufacturers who can
do their reconversion tooling now with
government sanction and get their
lines in shape will reduce the mass un-
employment due to changeover from
many months to n matter of days"

mother weren't fit to eat, but just hard
enough to make some Nazi see stars.
