Strength Slapped BY Hunger

The japanese turned back the
clock in the Philippines on ev
erything that had meant decent
human progress. Physically, they
pushed my people back and
down Their every effort was to
weaken the Filipinos as a race.
Our youngsters had delighted in
the American sports learned in
American schools. Now they are
devitalized. their strength Slapped
by hunger, and the little children
are enfeebled so that a new gen
Grafton must be built again.
Spiritually, the japanese tried
to break them. They could not.
The Christian religion held the
Filipino to his church, as his
political faith cid him to Ameri-
ca. They could not resist hunger
but poverty of the soul they
could and did resist.
Resistance has made the Phil
ippines a new nation.
Weak, impoverished. physical
ly drained, they are now possess
I'd Of a new genius. Before, theirs
was adanted svmDOSium OF
standards, of one religion super
imposed upon another, an Ameri-
can culture built over the old
European culture brought from
Spain. During these lost years
under the Japanese they have
learned to stand alone; in chains,
in poverty, in beggary, but they
stood united, and with loyalty to
but one nation-America!

to punish those who aided the
japanese, but it is interesting to
note that in this investigation the
word collaboration is not used,
but the term those whose 10y
atty to America and the Com
monwealth has come under sus-
picion."
All this has served to form the
pattern OF Leyte, a pattern for
the future. President Osmena and
General Macarthur work togeth-
er there, while the American GI
and the Filipino who fought I'M
der his flag walk through the
muddy streets of Tacloban to-
gether, sharing experiences and
talking over the fight, past, pres
ent and future. The Filipino has
opened his home to the American
on Leyte, and poor as that home
is, it is his castle and all he has
left. In turn, the American CT
has turned his pack inside out,
he has donated his valued towels
to the girls to wear as sarongs,
and shared with the kids and
grownups alike his treasure of
candy and chewing gum, and
even his cigarettes-and greater
love than that hath no man, in
the Pacific
To see them, getting around
together, talking things over to
gether, presenting one another
with their small treasures, is an
example for all the world, Leyte
is testimony that friendship, un-
derstanding and loyalty are not
to be limited to boundary ana
racial differences, but belong in
the illimitable regions of cour-
tesy and understanding OF the
aims and ideals of people other
than our own.
Is it wrong to point out how
different this pattern on Leyte,
from that in Greece and Italy?
| am not here to assail the policy
of any other country, but we are
all aware of the danger in these
freed" countries where rebellion
and dissatisfaction cannot be al
layed by pamphlets and the cour-
tesies between the freed and
their resources cannot be main
tanned. How different from Leyte
where America, reentering the
Philippines, let's its people decide
teh sort of government they
want from now on, and where all
difficulties are being ironed out
smoothly and with satisfaction,
and with courtesy shown to all.
Does il not all come to this. the
common activities? Is 1t not this
that will keep our sons from an
other war?

SfeeIworkers
Propose Postwar
Employment Fund

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 10 (FP)
For the benefit of steelWork-
ers returning from the armed
forces, the United Steelworkers
(CIO) proposed to set up a fund
of $28 million, the money 10
come half from wage increases
the union is now seeking and
half from the steel companies
Under the plan each steel
worker would contribute S2O
out of increases approved by the
National War Labor Board, and
each steel company would match
the amount.
Payment would be made
from the joint fund to each
steel worker, on the oasis of the
length of his service at the time
of his honorable discharge, or
to his dependents if he dies. The
fund would be administered by
representatives of the union and
of the steel corporations. More
than 100000 steel workers are
now in the armed services.
The unions demand for tic

Aid Producers

Whose bidding is your Con-
gresham doing? Observers
are reporting that the vast
majority of requests which
congressman are making to
the Office of Price Administra-
ton are for price increases.
This is strange behavior for
persons elected to serve the
public interest. Nothing seems
TO be forgotten - price boosts
are asked for textiles, foods of
all kinds, restaurants meals,
tires, automobiles, lumber, etc.
1t is not necessarily true that
these Congressman are flaunt-
ing the pleas Of consumers and
opponents of initiation, much as
any public servant should be
expected to act voluntarily on
behalf of the consuming public.
The truth seems to be that those
who need protection from fur
ther initiation are not writing
to Congress to a volume suf-
ficient to impress their repre-
sentatives.
Growers Association write,
milk producers write, enemies
of rent control write. If any of
these groups serve more
money, they should have it by
means of an intelligently ap-
piled subsidy, and not by blow
ing the roof of prices.
Why not let your" Congress
man hear from you? You might
be surprised how much good it
will do. Demand rent control,
food price roll-backs, and an
all-out offensive against in
flation.

New LibrarY
Books at Local IL

Many new books are being
added to the Local II library,
according to Floyd Brimacombe,
library director. Best of the new
numbers are "The Stolen Squad
ron," by Leonard; "A Tree
Grows in Brooklyn" by Smith
Under Cover" by Carlson, and
"The Trespasser," by Hobson.
Particularly recommended is
Under Cover" the book writ
ten by a newspaper man which
Publisher Gannett sought to
stop from sale in the book stores
of the country under threat of
reprisals. The book outlines
listing of native American fas-
cists and presents some factual
writing which is of particular
interest to the workers.
"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn"
is more interesting than the title
sounds. Betty Smith takes off
the gloves and writes frankly
about life In such way that
you don't want to put the book
down until you are finished
with IL.

Co-ops Show
Growth

Wholesale houses owned by
consumer cooperatives distribu-
ted S122,253,143 worth of goods
in 1943, a gain of 16.8% over
1912. In the past five years, vol
ume has multiplied 2l2 times.
The economies of cooperative
enterprise were dramatically
shown by Midland Coop Whole
sale of Minneapolis and Mil
Waukee, which while increasing
its volume of sales 279o, was
able to boost earnings 1857
over 1912.
Part of the earnings increase
enjoyed by several wholesalers
was due to recent purchases of
such productive facilities as oil
refineries and wells, farm ma
chinery factories, etc, number
ing nearly 100 by the close of
the year. These enterprises sup
ply the co-ops with goods, and
rebate their profits" as savings
back through the organizations
to the consumers, whose pur-
chases form the basis for the
whole system.
idland-affiliated consumers
are better off by 1857 sol at the
wholesale level alone, for hav-
ing patronized their own co-ops.
When goods are ordered from
private manufacturers, pooling
of orders permits the buyers to
demand certain levels of quail
ity. These are then indicated on
the coop labels which are ap-
piled Thus the consumer is pro-
tected against deception and
shoddy goods.
Several locals of the UAW-
ClO have undertaken to launch
consumer co-ops. There is a
proper form of coop organiza-
ton for securing almost any
goods or service. Information
and guidance in organizing CO.
ops may be secured through the
UAW-CIO Consumer Division,
