PEACE AND FULL PRODUCTION BASIS
OF POSTWAR PROSPERITY

A PROSPEROUS postwar America resting on
"a international peace and full use Of the coun-
try's free enterprise to produce for world markets
was pictured by AFL President William Green
to the Economic Club of Detroit.
Declaring that "thc fate of the nation is still
at stake" he emphasized For labor and industry
alike the No. job at the moment is to win the
war in the shortest possible time. The nO-strke
pledge Of labor must be kept religiouSly. The
hour is here and the time has come when workers
must work. management must serve and the
armed forces of the nation must fight never
before. Our personal security and the future Sc
curity Of democracy hinge on the outcome. Ameri-
can industry he said has these opportunities in
the postwar period:
"The opportunity to produce for peace a
scale greater than it has shown it can do for
war, the opportunity to establish an economy of
plenty in America instead of scarcity, the oppor-
tunity to supply Jobs and provide increasingly
better living conditions and educational advan-
tages for the American people, the opportunity
TO save and inVcSt-in short, the opportunity to
Justify the advantages of our free enterprise
system"
Labor and management must participate in
the administration Of postwar planning, he de-
clared. He called for less government control, but
provision must be made for expanded social secul-
ty, vast housing projects and comprehensive
national employment service.

SEABEE LAUDS EQUIPMENT
MADE BY UNION WORKERS

Washington, ID. C.--High praise for
equipment turned out by union work
ers was given by Seabee III. J. HUI
strom, USNR. MachinistS Mate, OF
Chico, California, veteran of the Afri-
can invasion, wearer of the Purple
Heart, and former member of the In,
ternational Union of Operating En-,
gineers (AFL). He was Il bulldozel
and shovel operator in civilian life.
Hulstrom was gun pointer and gun
captain of one of the twin gun mounts
aboard an LIST in the convoy which
entered Bizerte. He said the equipment
taken along worked fine and gave us
very little trouble considering the
beating we gave it," He said the Ger
man and Italian stuff looked rugged
but everytime it was pushed very hard
it had to be oyerhauled.
This is Il new kind of war;" the
former union man said. "Nou can't
win it with just guns and ships and
planes. 1t takes bulldOzerS, trucks
cats, cranes, shovels, and all kinds of
heavy stuff that doesn't look like il
could fight This war takes the kind
of rugged stuff that union men and
women know how to make"

ARE YOU READY TO VOTE?

HOW MANY labor unionsts really go to the
polls and vote? On the face of it, it looks as if
trade unionists always vote, but recent reports
to this office indicate that some labor unionists
do not even register. This is sad commentary
upon the vitality of the movement and also upon
the vitality of democracy itself.
The most distinguishing characteristic OF
democracy is the right of citizens to vote for their
representatives and to create national policies by
their vote. If they stay away from the polls, they
are sappng away at the very foundations of the
republic Trade unionsts know also that the
present Congress is a Congress very hostile tc
labor. They should know also that every trend
indicates that the new Congress, recreated in the
1914 elections, will be even more anti-labor.
If they want to reverse this trend, they should
begin now to register to vote in November and tC
get the trade union vote to the polls for candidates
that will speak for labor and see that Justice is
done to the wage earners of this country.

WAR ON HOME FRONT NOT WON

MAJ. GEN u. S. GRANT, 3rd, Chief Of the
AVA Protection Branch, u. S. Office of Civilian De-
fense explaining over the radio the widely mis-
UNDERSTOOD order ending practice blackouts eX-
cept in coastal areas emphasized a fact that some
may not realize. He said:
''The war on the home front is not won-and
we are relaxing air raid drills for that very reason
We know that if it is to be won, as soon as pos
sible, we must apply every ounce of effort and
every moment to the war program, to production
of the munitions and supplies needed by the
armed forces in their offensive effort
"We must leave the relative security of oul
well-defended lines and 90 into hard-hitting
aggressive action. We must do this, not only or
the battlefront but on the home front as well.

DON'T LET THEM DOWN

THIS month the Red Cross comes to the Amerl-
can people for the funds needed to carry out
it's 1914 program. The variety and Importance OF
the tasks it performs can be best illustrated by
it's record of achievement for 1943 Here are a
few Of its outstanding services:
Last year the Red Cross produced 925,OOO,OOO
surgical dressings; collected 5,0OO,O0O plntS OF
blood for pasma to save the lives of the wounded
gave personal aid to 100000 servicemen and
their families packed Gn ten months) 100000
food parcels for our boys who are prisoners OF
war; made 2,500,000 kit bags for the armed
forces; enrolled 27 600 nurses for Army and Navy
services and trained $4,000 nurses for a variety
of other duties including service in army hos
pitfalls.
This is only a partial record of a tremendous
achievement for civilian organization depending
upon voluntary contributions and volunteer labor
And ii is an achievement to which organized labor
has contributed in no small measure.
Mr. Norman Davis, National Chairman OF the
Red Cross in a letter to Matthew Woll, president
of the Labor League for Human Rights, ALL,
stated after the Red Cross campaign OF last year
that without the active help of organized workers
the campaign could never have topped its goal
of $125O0O,O0O. But organized labor gives more
than money to the Red Cross. All over the cOun-
try its members and auXaries are giving genei-
OuSly Of their time and energy to Red Cross SerV-
ices and recruiting donors for the Red Cross blood
bank.
In It's current campaign the Red Cross is ask
inc the American people for 5000 OOOOO 600 to carry
on its humanitarian WOrk-SiXty per cent more
than in 1913 but no more than IS demanded TO
meet the constantly increasing human need ere
ated by a continuing and expanding gobal war.
Through the Labor League for Human Rights,
the AFL is mobiIizcd to help the Red Cross top
this goal as it helped top last years. Organized
labor knows what the Red Cross means to the
men in our armed forces, and to the families they
have left behind. 1t will never let them down.

DO AMERICANS WANT DEMOCRACY?

no AMERICANS want democracy? Presumably
- the answer is Eyes" Do Americans do the
things which beget democracy? Frequently not.
Take for example, the present serious sltua-
tion in respect to relations between civilians and
the armed forces Historically, there always de-
velops chasm between soldiers abroad and
civilians at home. Every war proves this. But
no rift in ranks is wholesome least of all rift
when nation is fighting total war. Is anything
being done to close this rift? No. Is anything
being done to widen it? Much.
Regretfully, the persons who are seeking to
widen this rift are heads of the armed forces.
The devastating remarks of the official Army
spokesman at the time of negotiations between
government and railroad workers fell upon civ
ian ears with dscouraging thud my Godv'
the civilians cried, ARE we going to be at the
throats of each other?'
There are II million men in the armed forces.
This simply means that directly and indirectly
Virtually every American family has some one
near and dear fighting for his country Does 1T
look reasonable that any human being wants to
act at home in such wise as to injure a loved one
at the front? Such charge, stated thus boldly
in human terms appears ridiculous But this
charge was made in effect by the unofficial Army
spokesman. This was made deliberately, if in
accurately, with damaging effect upon patriotic
performance Of labor unions And the sad truth
is that such blunt charge reflects the deliberate
anti-union policies of generals and admiraS.
If Americans truly want democracy, they
would undertake to change the minds of generals
and adm1als. They would demand that generals
and admirals reflect democratic principles in their
policies. They would demand that generals and
admirals would say the things and do the things
which insure not destroy, democracy.
Democracy cannot live if it is not nourished
consciously by people in power The Army is
destined to play great part in American Life IN IN
the next 10 years. Generals and admrals should
learn the lesson of democracy, and practice it's
principles, or both soldiers who fight and civilians
who work may find they fought another war in
vain
