proportion to the legal rates of the
minimum wages of unsllilled workers

tiona sum shall be added to the
present wage.
However, the sum of the present
wage and the legal increase shall not
exceed the maximum level already

vision shall be set up for each region
of the country by the Regional Com
missioners of the Republic.
The total of present wages and i'll
crease shall not increase wages to

children, GeneralS, LleutenantS, and
privateS from the Armed Forces of the
United Nations are all here. There is
no type of person, trade or profession
left out. Just as they have come from
the four corners of the earth, so the
news of what they have been creating
together has circled the globe and
brought new hope to millions.
Their aim is country and a world
that really works, not just on paper
or around conference tables, but
around their own breakfast tables and
i'm their own unions and plants = a
world whose wealth and work are
available to all and for the exploita-
tiOn of none.
World Labor
Labor Prime Minister John Curtin
of Australia authorized four delegates
to travel the II, 900 miles to the Train
ing Center. DR.. Chang Kia-ngau, for
seven years Minister of COmmunica-
tions in the Chinese Cabinet and the
builder of the Burma Road, attended
to study the application of the MIRA
program to the reconstruction of
China.
International, state, and local off
GERS of the AFL, CIO, United Mine
Workers, Railroad Brotherhoods, and
Canadian Labor found real unity, and
Labor and Management forged new
teamwork together. From the aircraft
plants of BOeng, Lockheed and North
American, famous for their Flying
Forts PISS, and Mustangs, and from
the mighty assembly lines of Detroit,
and shipyards in the East and West,
shop stewards and union officers.
Whole plants and industries are repre-
sented. The unusual sight of union,
management and foremen with their
wives and families, all from the same
plants, sitting down together at meals,
planning how they can work better
as team to give the country what it
needs now and in the postwar period,
was unique event in the history of
American industry.
Moral Re Armament is giving
America the theology adequate for the
postwar world" said one labor leader.
MIRA is drawing the clear moral line
across the world today. The battle is
not between labor and management,
race and race, class and class, as some
would like TO make it, but between the
unselfish honest and moral forces in
every nation, and those other forces
who live with hate, bitterness and
selfishness in their hearts. The Ameri-
can theology which you are forging
here through MIRA is what the world
desperately needs, simple enough to
show men and women how to live
honestly each day, and big enough to
answer the problems of nations.
AS labor and management leaders at
the Training Center watched special
presentation of the industrial team
work drama, "The Forgotten Factor"
the full implication, of Senator Tru-
mans words, spoken at a similar
in upon them: ''The time is ripe for an
appeal, not to self-interest, but to the
hunger for great living that lies deep
in every man. What Americans really
want is not promise of something for
nothing, but a chance to give every
thing for something great. We want
something we can fight for in war and
something not confined to com
bat areas or election campaigns :.
We need this spirit of Moral Re-Arma
ment in industry. We need it in the
nation. With it there is no limit to
what we can do for America and
America for the world"

Admiral Declares
Support On Home
Front Important
Naval Officer Speaks In
Connection With Anniver-
sury OF Nuvul Aviution

Washington, ID. c. ULNS) Speak
ing on a broadcast in connection with
the 31st anniversary of naval aviation,
Vice Admiral Aubrey w. Fitch, USN,
Deputy Chief of Naval Operations
(Air) declared that the support of
workers on the home front has been
skillful, untiring and inspiring to the
men on the fighting front who use the
equipment"
Admiral Fitch spoke glowingly of
the victories achieved by the Navy in
the air, during the past year: "As an
example of our success during the last
year our carrier-based pilots knocked
down more than 1900 Japanese planes
with loss of less than 400 of our
own In the recent battle of the Philip
pines Sea alone, the carriers of Task
Force SO destroyed 402 Japanese
planes on the first day and then pro-
ceeded to sink or damage a consider
able portion of the enemy fleet"
Speaking in praise of the quality
of the Navy's aviation products, Fitch
emphasized the Importance of main
tanning this high standard for future
operations.
The road ahead is long and hard"
he pointed out. 81 cannot predict an
early end to this war. The distances
which separate our most advanced
forces from the japanese homeland
are still great and it is to be expected
that resistance will increase as the
westward and northward movement
progresses
Warns OF Sacrifices Ahead
I'VE must be prepared for even
greater sacrifices before the road to
Tokyo is traversed and victory is won,
but our fighting personnel are pre-
pared to make those sacrifices and all
they ask is unremitting effort in the
production of the necessary war ma
terials and your determination to sup
port their efforts in every possible way
until they have completed the assigned
task"
