world state, or CO What other action would you
favor?
Governor: Fulton, do not favor any world
state AS for the necessary cooperative organlza-
ton of the sovereign states of the world, that
organization must Admit every nation that viii
comply with the conditions of admission but no
nation should be compelled by military force to
ioin or to take part in it. The fact is that such
an organization will be founded for the purpose
of preserving peace and not for the purpose of
exercising power.
FULTON LEWIS: All right. Question No. 3
Do you believe in absolute freedom of interna-
tiOnal trade?
GOVERNOR: do not The standards of living
VI in the various countries Of the world differ
greatly From a wage of few cents a day to
wage of mary dollars day. There must be an
equalization, so that the nations of the world may
have competitive conditions Of trade. Not advan-
tageous conditions Of trade based on suppressed
labor and impoverished living condition. Also,
don't forget that the totalitarian economy can
lower the price Of goods, by taking it out of the
lives of their people and lowering their wages and
standards Of living. To open up our markets to
such trade would be to promote lower standards
of living for our own people here at home, instead
of lifting our standards Of living which has always
been our purpose.
FULTON LEWIS: Very well-subquestion
(A) Will that mean that the goods and services
of people with low-iving standards are to enter
the United States without any restrictions de-
signed to protect the American standard of living?
You answered that really in your last reply.
Governor: I'll answer it again. Certainly not.
Our one job above all others is to maintain ctr
standard Of living.
FULTON LEWIS: Subquestion OBJ: If you
believe in restrictions, will you please state what
they to be.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-04-30

X 0F. BRICKER: Perfectly all right Fulton.
VI want you to ask whatever you see fit.
FULTON LEWIS: All right, sir. Suppose
read these questions, then one at time, and you
answer each one in your own way. First OF all,
however there's foundation question, which |
think is necessary and that is, do you favor
some postwar organization of nations designed to
maintain the peace that will come out of this war
we are now fighting?
Governor: Yes, do We as a sovereign nation
have got to act in cooperation with other nations,
in all practical measures. to preserve the peace OF
the world and to build better international rela-
tionships.
FULTON LEWIS: Very we'll Now let's take
the first of these other questions. Ii says Do you
believe that the United States should become
member of world supra national state! Ii so,
ca. would il involve any limitations upon the
sovereignty of the United States?
Governor: There should be no central world
" authority, dominating our destiny, and ap-
parently none of the other nations wants such
thing, either. Pm very certain that England and
Russia and China wouldn't agree TO II.
FULTON LEWIS: OBJ, Would il mean that
the army navy and air force of the United States,
and its technical equipment for war are to be
placed under the control of the world state or
organizations!
Governor No We never ought te submit
cOUlTO Oh our army anu navy W dily OllCI ldIlOu
OR combination Of nations or to any world state.
The United States must keep her military force
adequate TO our own security in the air, on land,
and on the sea, and subject to our own control
FULTON LEWIS: Let me inject an extra
question here, if YOU will, governor. Is your last
reply based perhaps, on the thought that it's the
oretically conceivable =. however improbable it
may seem at the moment :. that some day we
might need our independent military force to pro-
tect our interests against nations that today
very friendly today?
GOVERNOR: No. Fulton; cannot conceive Of
VI such a situation. Certainly, our interests with
our Allies ought 70 continue on a friendly basis
and if we don't preserve them on that basis we'll
miss our great opportunity. In my judgment,
there's no possibility of conflict with England
ever. AS for Russia, her interests lie in internal
development, in the promotion Of her trade and
the building Of her industrial structure. She has
plenty Of territory-untold natural resources and
her paths Of development certainly do not cross
ours. China is tradtionally our friend and the
Chinese are additionally nonaggressive. <
FULTON LEWIS: All right, Governor
Bricker. Now for question No. 2 1t says: If
you favor a world state what would YOU do about
nations that refuse to come in? CA Force them
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-04-30

1tOVERNOR: Well the restrictions should be
~ designed to equalize the cost of goods we pro-
duced with cost of competing goods with other
nations. In ether words, they should be designed
TO make up for the difference in standards of v-
ingThat has been done by tariffs and by other
methods here at home But it only works effec-
lively as long as the cuIrenceS of the world remain
the same in relation to each other. Therefore, my
thought is that we ought to establish a stable
standard OF values here at home at the earliest
possible moment and take aggressive measures to
persuade other nations To do likewise
FULTON LEWIS Question A. Do YOU be-
lieve that a world monetary system should be
established?
Governor There is no possibility of world
currency being established. Certainly not at this
time. That's talking in empty theoretical dreams
We must be practical. We must build upon what
we have instead of cooking up schemes to change
the whole existing structure and machinery of all
the countries of the world Aside from the fact
that it would mean teaching the entire peoples of
the world to use new monetary system, 1t would
far as we're concerned violate the constitu-
tiOnal provision giving the Congress of the United
States sole power to fix the value of money and
to coin currency. In other words it's so mprac-
tical as to amount to impossbility. What we need,
Fulton is program of evolution and progress,
rather than revolution and destruction
FULTON LEWIS: That's good line by the
way. Question ). Do YOU believe in the free
unrestricted movement of peoples? If So how do
YOU propose to prevent the people of Asia and
other war-torn countries from over-running the
United States?
GOVERNORS | do not favor unrestricted inn
" migration of peoples into this country. If the
bars were down, there would be Millions even hun
dreds Of millions, of people pouring in on from
all over the world. That influx would destroy our

Hartford Firm First
To Effect Reduction
Agrees to Transfer Of rs Employees to Plants Of High
Priority Ratings; To Protect interests Of Workers

First direct response to the vol
1ntary manpower program organized
under sponsorship of the Connec-
ticut war Council was reported to-
day by State Manpower Director
william j. Fitzgerald. A manufac-
turing company in the Hartford
area wrote to Mr.. Fitzgerald offer
ing to release Is employees for trans
fer to other plants with high labor
priority ratings.
Interviewers from the United
States Employment Service, Mr.
Fitzgerald said, will be sent to the
plant, will talk individually with the
workers and will refer them to other
jobs. When their company needs
them again and wants them to come
back a second transfer win be ar
ranged, Mr.. Fitzgerald said.
The manpower director used this
example to illustrate what is meant
by orderly procedure" in the trans
fer of workers, promised in the
program of the War Councils Vic
tory Manpower Campaign Commit
tee. Workers are not to be arbitrar-
| lily dropped to meet ceiling levels
or to reduce below ceilings, Mr.,
Fitzgerald said. They are to stay
on the jobs they have until en-
ployment elsewhere is arranged for
them by the United States EN-.
ployment Service.
The manpower campaign, an
nounced by Governor Raymond e
Baldwin after conferences with all
interested groups, has for its i'm
mediate purpose the building up OF
employment rolls in plants that are
making essential war supplies for
the Army and Navy in the five criti-
cal labor areas of the state, Hart
ford, New Britain, Bristol, Water
bury and Meriden.
Factories making less essential
supplies, which already have man
power ceilings set by the Manpower
Priorities Committee of the War
Manpower Commission, are asked to
observe those ceilings strictly and
to reduce below them if they can
The company that made the first
voluntary offer of Is employees was
in this group, and the Is workers
! being moved to other jobs represent
