obtaining full purchasing power, both

wages through collective bargaining.
CD IL can create Il great consumer

ment spend for recovery" 1t must not
neglect the latter because of its his
torlcal interest in the former. As an
economist, ] am willing to state fatty
that unless the Federal Government
continues To spend for recovery as it
has spent for war, there cannot be full
employment and production in the de
gree desired by organized labor Fail

But from sources within the NAM
Federated Press has obtained evidence
that one of the big four of the United
Nations will be barred from this pre-

business.

Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin Amer
lea were invited to send delegates ana
advisers TO discuss cartels, world sup
plies, foreign trade and protection OF
postwar investments with their Amer
lean hosts. The Soviet Union Is not on
the list
Official spokesman for the groups
planning the conference, when con
taeted by FP refused TO answer any
questions about the nations invited.
For reasons of international courtesy,
they said. the names were a secret un-
til the acceptances were in. They ad-
mitted that invitations had been sent
out to the various nations. Reports
from the inner councils explained that
Russia would be included finally but
that those sending out the invitations

tracts and investment interests rather
than for the prevention of unemploy-
ment The reduction of government con
trolls over prices and production, and
n concerted attack upon the legislative
rights of organized labor.
What objectives should form the
basis of the counter-economic program
of laborI Business prattles vaguely of
high production and employment. We
should he specific and demand ma
tional individual income at present
price levels of ut least $l50,000, 900, 600,
and the continuous employment of
sixty million people. Only through the
actual realization of such levels of
employment and production can we
achieve the measure of economic free
dom and democracy that the American
people deserve The war has demon
strnted that these levels are possible,
II we use our economic resources aS
peace as we used them for the destruc-
tive purposes of war Much money has
been spent In devising economic leger-
tlemain to prove the contrary. Organ
ized labor should not have an inferior
ity complex IN the face of this pro-
foundly ly-worded economic claptrap.
They should use their own economists
To confOund those of organized bust
ness. The balance of the argument is
on the side of an economy of abun-
dance with high wages and fun em-
ployment
To attain these ends however, there
are certain essential conditions which
must be met because of our American
monopolistic and big-business economy.
We cannot expect that business will
reduce prices TO sell the great quan-

Organized labor faces Il grave post
war danger. An economic program Is
now being prepared by business or
ganizations which they will vigorously
attempt Ia force upon the country, even
before the lighting stops. This program
is gradually being evolved by the Com
mittee for Economic Development, the
NAM, the United States Chamber Of
Commerce, and other business groups
Every known propaganda device will
be used 10 put IL across. II organized
labor Is to have the kind of postwar
economic world IL wants, IL must act
forcefully and quickly and in coopera-
tion with liberal farm and middle class
elements which today have many in
terests in common with labor. To
achieve these joint interests we must
G) insure the election of liberal Con
gressmen and defeat those unSympa-

elect "A liberal President CD We must

more than collective bargaining and
legislative action viii be- needed. Labor
must constitute itself as the liberal
schoolm0ster of the Nation. Wide
spread education on economic matters
was never more needed in our entire
national history.

Here you find the youth who can
provide the right-thinking leadership
for the nation. Raising up hundreds
like them in homes, schools, and unions
would insure bright future for Labor
and for America"
The union man who spoke had just
seen teen-agers from all across Amer
lea and Canada present a striking and
complete answer to Juvenile delin-
quency They did it by means of a new
stage play, Drugstore Revolution"
which they themselves had written
from their own experience, and were
now acting as part of the training pro-
gram of the Moral Re-Armament
Training Center ut Mackinac Island,
Michigan.
Inspires National Leadership
A large audience with representative
leaders of education, labor, industry,
government and the armed forces
present, were stirred and shaken by
the stark reality of the youngsters
presentation of American home-life to-
day, and at the Same time were given
new heart and hope by the way in
which they saw a family before their
eyes. The play gives such a thorough
education to the parents that those
who saw it came away knowing how
to get along together, and how to un-
derstand and help their own children.
The youngsters followed one prin
ciple right through, which, if applied
in industry, in Washington, and
throughout the election campaign,
would certainly bring new spirit to
the whole nation. This is tiff you
want to see things different, the best
place to start is with yourself"-and
they put this across in the play by adj
mitting their own faults instead of
blaming their parents.
AS well as producing plays, the teen
ayers get out their own newspaper,
"The Minute Man." which aims to
show everybody how to live, work and
fight for the new America. In it, Mead
Twitchell, (sixteen) of New York, who
takes the part of the sOda-jerker in
Drugstore Revolution" describes what
the training at the MIRA Center has
meant to youth.

their doors for the l944-45 term.
According to DR.. j. G. Ryan,
Commissioner of Education, all

teachers having accepted positions
in Alaska.
All city schools, with the excep-
ton of one, offers full four-year
high school courses and IL of these
schools are accredited by the North
west Association Of Secondary and
Higher Schools. Seven rural schools
offer two or more years OF high
school work and four of these offer
full four-year courses. Palmer is
the only rural school which is ac-
credited by the Northwest Associa-
ton, according to Commissioner
Ryan.
Because of too few students, the
following rural schools were forced
to close this year: Akiak, Chicha-
loon, Gustavus, Hoycock, Napamute,
Nushagak, Nyac, Ruby and Wise
man. Ppuips of Kashemak Bay

Homer school, DR.. Ryan announced.
Two new rural schools have been
opened this year and these include
