Those Ubiquitous
Commies

Announcement by Earl Browder, leader of American Communism,
that the title of party" is to be dropped by his organization has occa-
stoned some unjusifed surprise. AS a matter of fact, the Browderhes
art merely giving official recognition to and announcement of a fact
that has existed for a number of years
The Communists of America have not been functoning through their
own party nearly so much as they have through all other parties and
groups. They have made boring from within art and a science. No
organization which could be used a a sounding board for their ideas
be it church, fraternal society, uplft league, liberia, or radical-has
been immune from them. The Socialist party was split wide open by
them several years ago and some labor unions have been captured,
others disrupted, by them.
If the Communists now describe themselves IS an educational So
cety," and if one is willing to interpret education in it's broadcast
possible sense, the aptness of their description will be admitted by all
who have see them at work.
A couple of years ago Browder announced a new faith; namely that
of a sort Of glorifed paternaism within the capitalist system. Since then
the American Communists have been about the most ardent Roosevelt
fans in the nation.
Of course such people don't need a political party. And u guess
is that they are scrapping the name of party now because they believe
that, after the war, if not before, social conflict will give them N oppor-
1t may be that the Communists are taking the right course for a
group that believes that the capitalist system will fall as a result of a
crisis in captaisn's affairs and is willing to have that happen. How
ever, Socialists are not reconciled to the cataclysmic theory of change.
They want to go from capitalism to Socialism in a peaceful and orderly
manner. They appeal to the intelligent selfinterest of the people and,
therefore, need a party with a philosophy and a program.
1t may be that the future will prove the Socialists to be wrong and
the Communists right. If so, heaven help the children who are being
born this day-Reading Labor Advocate.

WE'LL BE THERE

The world labor conference in London next June opens the door TO
active collaboration between the labor movements Of all the United
Nations for winning the a and rebuilding a free, prosperous and
peaceful postwar world.
1t should be labor's counterpart to the Cairo and Teheran confer
ences between the leaders of the United Nations.
Such a gettogether on the part of world labor has long been advo-
Gated by the CIO, and Pres Murray has enthusiastically accepted the
invitation issued by the British Trades Union Congress, stressing "the
imperative need for closest collaboration of the workers of all the
United Nations
While the governments, the armies and the people of the United
Nations have been drawn closer and closer together in the common fight,
it is to be regretted that a parallel unity between their official labor
movements has been SO long in developing. due to petty considerations
of jurisdictional prestige and petty political prejudices the part of
some labor leaders.
1t is to be hoped that those AFL leaders who have been blocking
world labor unity will reconsider their position OF be overruled, that
all American labor may be represented in the aIlincIusive London con-
ference.
Go and AFL members are working and fighting together in the
war industries and on our farf1ung battlefronts. Countless American
workers owe their lives to fighting allies from the workshops and unions
of Britain, the Soviet Union and the other United Nations.
t S hard to imagine how any American union leader can refuse to
shake hands and sit down with the union representatives of u allies,
to map common plans for furthering the coramon cause for which the
workers of all the United Nations re working, fighting and giving
their lives-The CLIO News.

If more space than one column
can afford has been given to re-
viewing the past, that fact should
be regarded as an assist to those of
our fellow citizens who are warm
ing against over-optimism.
The popular idea is that after the
war ends there shall be four-no
less, perhaps more - freedoms
everywhere in the world. And that
the victor nations will settle the
worlds affairs on a basis of such
manifest fairness and equity that
peace will reign thereafter. But
don't bank too heavily on that hap
pening.
If nations who are beset by a
ruthless and powerful common foe
can't agree in the height of crisis,
it may be - to suggest conserva-
lively - that they will be equally
as unable to think and work to-
gether after the common danger is
removed and when the spoils of
victory are to be divided. And here
it might be timely to quote the
liberal, pro-Roosevelt Philadelphia
Record on the same subject as fol-
lows:
Governments united either in
fact, in spirit or even in common
detectives do not rap each others
knuckles in public"
Well, where's unity? The world
is not united in fact-neither on the
international front nor on the home
front. For capitalism and the profit
system breeds disunity and conflict.
Nations work together because
they must. Economic groups work
together for the same reason. To-
day Britain and America must
work with Russia and capital and
labor here at home must work with
each other.
NH e.
But the facts and the policies will
change when the menace Of Hitler
and TOTO is removed. Then the real
battle will begin. On the European
front and on the home front the alb
sence of unity in fact" will work
new shifts in national and class
alliances.
After the war ends the basis will
be laid for the next era of human
relations. Will it be a base upon
which peace abroad and peace at
home can be built? Can peace be
maintained SO long as a single great
nation stands committed to the
principle of human exploitation for
the profit of a favored class or a
favored group?

hollow laughter, and the boos reflected the fury of a group that sees

century ~monopolies have spread so
widely that 1873 are under federal
Indictment. This record is no argu-
ment for the efficiency of regula-
ton.
Experience with railroads has been
the same. The first big business
m~onopolies in u. S. history were
established by the railroads. A feder-
al act to regulate railroads was pas
sed in 1887. Yet so complete is the
control exercised by the railroads
oven the interstate commerce that
the anti-trust division of the Dept.
Of Justice entered suit against 30 of
the leading roads in 1912. Thurman
Arnold, who prepared the govern
ment's case, charged that:
1. The railroad monopolies have
all but suppressed the carrying of air
freight and hindered the develop
ment of air express.
2. They have restricted the truck
ing of freight.
3. They have blocked the de-
velopment of inland water transport
alton.
4. They have prevented the
building of needed pipe lines.
Privately owned and managed
railroads did not deny this. Their
answer to the government charges
was to have the cases against all 30
railroads dismissed.
Free enterprise lowered in mono
poles. Monopolies not only dominate
industry, but control government.

in private hands and regulate them

I hey Have Their Answer

If the intention of the sensational Pravda report was to test popular
feeling in the Allied countries toward a separate peace, the Russians
have their answer. The genuinely outraged tone Of the English and
American press and the tenor of comment, official and unofficial, should
suggest to the men in the Kremln that their suspicious are fantastic.
They have been notified, in effect, that Winston Churchill. hero though
he is, would be swept out of power rim a day if he were to attempt on the
eve OF victory what Chamberlain did not dare to do OF the brink of
defeat. This notfication-to Germany as we'll as to Russia-is a net
gain n matter what motive inspired the Pravda story. AS for the motive
itself, we would welcome an end to speculation. and we prefer to do n O
guessing of our own. We can take with a bag of salt the official Russian
protestation that the government had no prior knowledge of the Pravda
report and nevertheless accept this explanation a S a tait admission that
the Soviet government would like now to minimize the whole affair. 1t
was a foolish and dSruptive move, but if the Russians really want to
bury the incident, their allies should do nothing to postpone the inter
lnent-The Nation. @

Monopolies, Berge argues, control
production and fix prices. They are
"the seeds from which cartels grow
Their very existence denies freedom
of enterprise. With abundant raw
materials and widely developed mass
production the U. S. can supply the
domestic market and can win and
hold worlds markets on the basis OF
free competition.
Free competition is impossible,
however, unless the present mono
poly hold of big business is ended.
There is no opportunity for a new
company to manufacture an
electric lamp, a glass bottle, an alu-
minum pot, a pair of s%pectacles, vita
min products, radio sets, or numer-
ols other things which form a part
of u daily lives" Berge says. "The
manufacture of these things cannot
be begun without first receiving per-
mission from private groups. Those
groups are not responsible to any
form of control stemming from the
public interest. They are not com
PEELED by the pressure of COMPETE
ton to produce more and better pro-
ducts at a cheaper price. On the con-
trary, more profit to them lies in the
policy of higher prices and limited
production"
How can the stranglehold of the
monopolies be broken? Berge ans
wers: By enforcing the antitrust
laws.
There are 1873 antitrust cases
now pending. Twenty-eight of these
have been postponed for the dura-
ton at the request of the Army and
Navy because their prosecution
might hamper the war effort. There
viii be no undue haste in pushing
the other ITO cases. Nevertheless
Berge insists that monopoly can be
ended and free competition restored
by enforcing the antitrust laws.
Berge paints a rosy picture. States
tried to regulate budding monopolies
in the 1880s. The federal antitrust
act was passed in 1890, more than
half a century ago. During chat half

Russia has again become a big
question = on the international
front and, of course, here in Amer
lea.
For a long while - for Is years
after the Russians had their social
revolution = Russia was a nobody
with Americans. We didn't recog-
nize the Soviet Union until 1888,
although the Car and his family
and the aristocracy that surround
ed and bolstered the old order had
long since disintegrated in quick
lime.
But then our State Department
discovered that Russia was, indeed,
a nation-and said so. We sent our
diplomats to them and we received
theirs. We gave the Soviets the be-
nefit of credit. But it was all very
official. Soviet Russia vas correct
in the embassies and the big bank
ing offices. But in the newspapers
and on the radio Russia was the
capitalist worlds horrible example,
to say the least. And to say a little
more, Russia was something to re-
vamp or crush, possibly through
the agency of a German fuehrer.
AS late as a few months before the
war broke in Europe, when the par
tiOning of CZechoslovakia was
toned by own democratic ally,
Britain, Russia was not invited to
Munich where Hitler was given a
license to violate his first boundary.
1t wasn't until after Germany at
tackled the Soviet Union--indeed,
not until after the Russian armies
began making impressive WINS on
the battlefield - that most of the
people who help form American
opinion really appeared to like the
Soviet Union. And then they went
the limit, and there were those who
even saw in Russia a higher form of
democracy than the world had yet
seen.
And now opinion is veering
again and editorial writer's are
speaking darkly and with disap-
prevail about Joe Stain and his So
Wet Union. For "Uncle Joe" has
given signs that he is not prepared
to accept the leadership and the
viewpoints and the policies that the
capitalist nations want to hand him.
On the contrary, he has told Mr..
Wendell Willkie - and through
Willkie he was telling the whole
capitalist World-that what Russia
might do about Poland was none of
anybody's darned business. And a
little later Joe permitted "Pravda,"
his own official newspaper, to state
that some big Englishmen and some
big Germans had been engaged in a
pow-wow about the possibilities of
a separate peace-a peace which
threatened to leave Russia as much
on the outside of things as she was
during the 16 long years between
1917 and 1888 and as she was when
the apostles of freedom met at
Munich.
And these latest events, with the
consequent shift of public opin-
ion' here at home, happened, it
should be remembered, only a few
weeks after a statement signed by
Churchill, Stain and Roosevelt
that: I'VE have reached complete
agreement common understand
ing
