The Lost War
by RUTH TAYLOR

Even in the midst of battle, men
minds are troubled by the thought-"lS
this the last war? VIII the next gen
GRAFTON have IL all 10 do over again
What can we do to put an end To the
successive wars between the tyranny
of autocrats and the selfl1le of democ
racy?
We established the American way OF
life by the War of Independence, We
reafiirmed these principles by success
siye wars. But-if this is 10 he the
last war, we have not only 10 reflirm
il again, but To put il into practice IN
our own lives.
say mo dictator uslirps power. Power
always passes by default" War al
ways comes when democracy grows
weak First Greece, then Rome. And
now twice in the past generation we
have had to fight for our lives
We say we believe In the principles
set forth In the Declaration of indie
pendence and in the Constitution of the
United States. But do we always re-
member that America Is the proving
ground of what these principles may
be made TO mean of the practical
ideal of brotherhood We have most of
the national, racial and religious
groups represented among our citizens
How we work ont the every day living
together of these groups is the test
of how the world can work out co
operation. Of whether or not this will
be the last war
Unless We can work together, within
the confines of our own country, giving
10 all an equal opportunity to utilize
their God given talents. we are not
true Americans. Unless we can afford
10 give all the chance 10 develop as
individuals, inspired and not handi-
capped by their backgrounds, national,
racial or religious we are unfaithful
10 our past heritage aud we are pre-
pairing the ground for another war.
The first place In which to demon
strate our beliefs in the ideals of
democracy Is in our own lives. We
must guard our own thoughts. We
must sci "A seal upon our own lips. We
must learn 10 seek the good not the
evil In our neighbor. We must try -
understand him. Above all, we must
judge him as a fellow American upon
his own merits, not as a member Of
any group.
America is not any one class or
religion or group. America is all of Ms
incorporated. If we would realize
that We are all shareholders in democ

Labor Day Inspires Program Of Teamwork
MDUsTRYs AT TRAINING CENTER

Mackinac Islanf, Mich Industry's
Responsibility to the Postwar World
was the theme of roundtable meetings
of industrialists and union leaders
gathered here at the Moral Re-Arma-
ment Training Center over Labor Day
weekend, representing the aircraft
plants of Boeing, Locllheed North
American, and shipbuilding, steel, tex
tiles and other vital war industries
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
How to build the teamwork that will
stand the test after the incentive of
war has passed was the burning ques-
ton in the minds of everyone. The only
bulwark against oncoming revolution
in nation that is divided and CON
fused is Il force that ends bitterness,
unites people and makes teamwork

a sewage disposal plant and intercept
ing sewers $3000,000 for harbor and
dock facilities; $4,000,000 for improve
ment of county roads; and $5,0OO,00O
for improvement of school buildings
and educational equipment.
These bond issues and the special
tax levy provide approximately one
third the amount recommended by the
postwar planning report. Plans al
ready are under way to submit addi-
tional financing proposals to the people
in November
At the suggestion of the Portland
Area Postwar Development Commit
tee, the governmental agencies select
ed preferred projects from the survey
of city needs before the election was
held. Then the postwar development
committee, consisting of more than 80
prominent citizens, organized pro-
motional campaign to get a favorable
vote on the bond issues requested.
Private subscriptions amounting to
$4,000 to finance the campaign came
from labor, management and business
organizations. Paid advertisements
were published in local papers, labor
organizations sent special information
to all their members and school chill
dren distributed car ads and window
cards.
The Portland Area Postwar De
vel0pment Committee stressed the fact
that the publicity campaign was edu-
cational rather than political and that
the purpose was to provide job oppor-
tunities rather than public works for
the sake of construction alone.

this for Industry, and clarity the
issues in this struggle for both Man
agement and Labor:
Industry must give a fighting
faith to the returning soldier-not only
give job but show that the battle
goes on. For aimless men are the fod
der for revolution.
Industry must build new men by
putting human values and moral stand
ards before material things. For frus
trated and defeated men are ready fol
revolution.
3-Industry must forge the Ameri
can ideolOgy of teamwork to avoid
chaos. For chaos breeds revolution.
Industry must answer the class
struggle by drawing the true battle
line of right and wrong, patriotism and
selfishness. For class warfare leads to
revolution.
5-American industry must speak to
the world. Its achievements have won
the admiration of the world. 1t musr
export the theology of teamwork and
moral standards on which other ma
tons also can be rebuilt to make a
sound world.9 For revolution in any

California Doubles
Union Membership

San Francisco (FP).-Union mem
bership in California has more than
doubled during the war, State Labor
Commissioner John +. Dalton declared
in "A report based on questionnaires
submitted annually to local unions in
the state.
A total of S95,S34 members was re-
ported by the 1921 locals which an
swered the QUESTIONABLE for 1043. If
all the locals lad responded Dalton
said, the total number of members re-
ported would have exceeded one
million.
Rejecting the high level of employ
ment in war industries, the largest
group of union members, constituting
more than 0ne-third of the reported
membership in 1043, was accounted for
by locals covering the transportation
equipment manufacturing group which
includes shipbuilding and aircraft. The
1913 membership of reporting unions
i'm this group was more than seven
times the 1910 membership.
Second largest group of reported
union members WAS employed in the
building Ind construction trades. Num-
Der of women unionists in reporting
locals increased by 1900 between 1910
and 1943 Women constituted 17@o of
the total membership of all reporting
locals in the state in 1913, compared
with 1Ol6 in l042.
In releasing the report Dalton
praised ''the skill, cooperation and
vision" of California unionists in work
ing for maximum production. During
1913 union workers contributed to vic.
tory in many other ways" he added.
They purchased Il tremendous mum
ber of war bonds, made large gifts to
war chests and donated to the Red
Cross both dollars and blood. The or
ganized labor movement in California
may We'll be proud of its war record

 It is good invasion weather; the British Channel is smooth. Weath- CT is perhaps the most vital single factor in invasion planning for aer- ial assaults, naval strategy and amphibious operations. For aerial assaults visibility must remain high; airborne troops depend upon wind velocity. Soft ground may hamper tank movements. The AL lies are in a better position than the Germans to anticipate and fore cast weather conditions. In peace time weather data was gathered from Iceland, Alaska, points in Scandinavia and from ships at sea Some of these are still available, but ships at sea rarely break radio silence to transmit weather infor- nation.

Germany will be attacked from the east by Russia, from the south and from the skies, as we'll.
 The familiar British phrase, Combined Operations" found its way into President Roosevelt's 18th Lend-Lease report to Congress. He used it in the broad sense and de- fined it as "the fighting men of many nations who have banded to- gether." They cover the whole war, from the Russian to the present battles in Burma and on the Yel- low River. Lend-Lease serves them all.

LATEST MARCH OF TIME UNDERGROUND REPORT"
 SHOWS BERLIN TODAY

This months issue of The March of Time brings to the screen dra- matic and exclusive story, "Under- ground Report" which shows how the people of Germany and their conquered victims are living while they await the final outcome of the invasion. It comes Wednesday, 31 May to Theatres 1 and 2.
 Compiled from Nazi films just captured in Europe, as we'll as film footage smuggled out by the Un- derground, this latest MOT gives a vivid and revealing picture of the new ,Nazi plan of suicidal resistance inside Hitler's inner European for tress. Seen too are the activities of the Underground as they drill, awaiting their chance to take part in the march on Germany. Other scenes show how the Nazis' propa- ganda has poisoned Europe's youth.
 Highlights of the film are can- did closeups of the German leaders .Goebbels, as he surveys the ruins of Berlin, Goering conferring with his general staff, Hitler plot ting last-ditch stand to stale mate that will leave Germany with most of her loot intact.
 There are scenes showing the magniture of Nazi preparations for the invasion-big guns moving up, immense Notifications being con- structed along the coast, torpedo tubes built to fire from the shore, long-range cannon.
 Shown, too, are the efforts of the Nazis to impress the conquered with the virile beauty and vigor of the master race-the entertain ments, the sports, the lure of high pay in Germany for workers who
