Jobs-Not DoIes

Here's something that everyone
who has anything to do with post
war planning should realize before
he goes any further: Americans
want jobs, not doles.
When he knows this, the planner
will then realize that the thing to
Go is not dream up vast government
projects of relief schemes, but to
encourage industry to maintain the
kind of production which will mean
more jobs.
The government should make pro-
visions for settling its bills with the
manufacturers of war materiel, SO
that they will have funds with which
to reconvert and meet pay rolls.
Then the owners of big factories
must have the authority to remove
government-oWned machinery from
their premises in order to install
new machinery to make the things
the people want and need.
That there will be a tremendous
demand for goods and services after
the war is undeniable, that industry
is capable of fulfilling the demands
is, after its war production record,
assured.
Americans want jobs, not doles.
Planners should plan and act ac-
cordingly.

For q Worldwide
Free Press

A strong movement is under way
to have written into the Forthcoming
peace treaty a provision insurlng
freedom Of the press in all nations.
Resolutions are now before the u.
S. congress working toward that
end,
This is work that was started at
the time of World War | by Kent
Cooper of the Associated Press. He
failed in his laudable endeavor at
that time but has been quietly
working on it ever since.
II actually made reality, world
wide freedom Of the press would be
a powerful influence toward world
peace. Outside of the United States
there has been little freedom Of the
press. The press in most lands has
been under complete control Of the
government. 1t has been largely
used to spread propaganda that was
often untrue and Of such nature
as to foster enmity between nations
The large foreign news associations
have been organized for profit anc
bent most Of their endeavors to thai
end. If true information in respect
to political and financial matters
can have a worldwide circulation
it will help tremendously in reduc-
ing causes of war
But there will be serious prob
lens in this connection even after
press freedom has been secured. i
will be a difficult task to create
and maintain free press in such
countries as France, as an example
There the large publications have
long been open to out and out pur-
chase by the highest bidders. 1t has
long been Of common knowledge
that they sold the influence of then
columns to those who wished tc
buy. A press with high ideals Of
service such as we nave here is I'M
known in France There the press
is largely venal. To eradicate this
venal press and place in its stead
one Of high ideals will be very
worthwhile but difficult task.
One reason the press of France
has been SO venal is because Of lack
Of revenue. There advertising does
not play SO large part as it doe

eagerly anticipate this event. From
experience they know that here
their pennies and nickles still have
a generous purchasing value. Many
are the treasures they bring home

their new possession was once some

in the United States. The press is
therefore hard put to raise the
necessary income. The result has
been that many publications have
turned to whatever source there was
for revenue. Which is something for
those in America to think over who
are constantly decrying the Ameri-
can practice of spending large sums
in advertising. 1t helps most en-
pnatically in giving us a press free

Editorial
The Trend Is
Easy to Discern

The statement is frequently made
that we do not want our fighting
men to come home only to find they
have lost the liberties here they
thought they were fighting to main
tain. If in their absence fascist or
communistic form of government is
forced on the nation, those fighting
men will come home to live under
what they have detested in foreign
lands. There is danger that that
very thing may happen here. Any
number of men and women in prom
inent positions in the present adj
ministration have expressed belief
in doctrines that will lead inevitably
to dictatorship and augmentation il
they are permitted to Put into eff
feet their beliefs. As an example
here is a statement by Adolphe
Berle, present assistant secretary oil
state. Said Mr.. Berle:
THE government will have to
enter into direct financing of ac-
tivities now supposed to be private
and a continuance of that direct
financing must be inevitably that
the government will ultimately
control and own these activities .
Over a period of years the govern
ment will gradually come to own
most Of the productive plants Of
the United States That's pure
communism.
Said Henry A. Wallace, vice pres
ident of the United States.
we are not going to use the
whole Russian political and eco
nomic system here in the United
States" II is pertinent to ask just
how much of it are we going to
use.
An interesting book has just come
from the press and a copy has
reached our desk. 1t is For Amer
leans Only by Samuel B. Pettin-
gill and Paul C. Bartholomew. We
quote from it below:
Fascism and communism hole
that men are not personalities, but
cells in a greater organism called
the State. Therefore, men and Wom-
en- have no rights; they have priv
ileges only. The State grants these
privileges follow trade, to
marry, to own property-and the
State may take them away. Men live
for the State, not the State for men.
Communism, fascism, or nazism as
sert the power to decide all bust
ness or economic questions. It may
decide what trade man may pur-
sue. what new business, if any, may
be opened up.qit may uproOt whole
populations and transplant them,
fix wages, hours Of work, prices,
rents, dividends.
Everything for the State, moth
ing against the State, nothing out
side the State Fascism is essen
TALLY military law imposed on CT
villains in time Of peace as we'll as ir
war.
Such is the Old World system. II
is a reversion to Caesarism.
Our fathers crossed the Atlantic
to shake themselves free from this
concept of government. They held
that men have certain 'inalienable
