Seems Worse

We read and hear a great deal, nowadays, about the increase in
Juvenile delinquency. Every city reports a alarming increase since
the war began, and authorities all agree that conditions due to the war
are to blame.
There is on angle, however, that seems to have been overlooked,
namely, the shift in population from rural to urban centers. Take Gin
cinnai, for example. Cincinnati war industries have attracted many
thousands of people to the city in the last two years, and almost all of
boring States. Many of these people, of course, had children and brought
them with them, which means that the child population of the city has
increased considerably
Let us suppose that the pre-war child population was 100000 and
that there were. 500 cases of juvenile delinquency per year. Let us
suppose also that the influx of war workers and their families added
$4,000 children to the pre-war total, that there III now 49, 900 children
in the city, and that the juvenile delinquency rate has increased in pro-
portion. The authorities would thus be reporting a Is per cent increase
IN juvenile delinquency where no such increase had actually taken place,
it being merely in proportion to the population growth.
Practically every large city has increased its population in this way.
and this, we believe, accounts in some measure for reports of increased
delinquency. Add all the cities totals together and the national total
really presents a n alarming picture. Remember, too, that few, if any,
rural communities keep statistics on this sort of thing which means
that pre-war juvenile delinquency tabulatons did not include the dad"
boys and girls in the country towns, and that when these sameb bad boys
and girls moved to the city they Immediately swened the national total
In other words, they were not counted in before, but they ae being
counted in now.
We don't believe the children of today r. any worse than those
of five and ten years ago. Il tt is just that there m more of them right
around us in the cities, and, aggravated as we re by wartime conditions
we think they are worse-The Brewery Workers.

A DRIVE AGAINST CO-OPS

private competitors because they
r exempt from taxes.
That statement is not true. The
fact is "coops'' pay all taxes that
private business must pay except a
tax on profits" and ''coops" do not
make profits. They are simply buy
ing and selling organizations and
all savings" go to their members.
And this is where the shoe pinch
es and explains why some business
men r warning on the ''coops."
Genuine c~ooperatives, big and
little, save their members the huge
profits which otherwise would go
into the pockets of business men.
Of course, business men do not like
anything that interferes with pro-
fits. Hence the Robertson amend
ment and now the plan to ham,
string the cooperatives by taxing
them.

"Potriotic Devotion"
In War Tirne

Recent statements by representative bodies of two great church
organizations pay a tribute to Labor Unionism. The General Conference
of the Methodist Church and the Catholic Committee of the South are
in agreement on the statement that
Labor is the bulwark of democracy.
And o it is and must be. For, unless the workers Of a nation are
organized, then they must have n o ways for formulating policies and
taking action. Then policies must be made and action taken by some
person II group other than Labor. And then the majority will be ruled,
either by guile or by force, from the top. And that will not be denoc-
Iacy.
Having added our endorsement to a general principle, we now turn
TO a statement made by the Methodists in which both labor and manage
ment ar lauded for patriotic devotion to val production"
Wen agree that such a tribute is deserved. But we want to raise
the question of profits Was it, we ask, merely or mainly patriotism
and devotion that resulted in the great flood of wealth from industry
to the battfefelds of the world? Or was it profts-which advocates of
actvty-that evoked the best efforts of both management and labor?
Well, assuming that the Methodists are right
Why cannot the same high principle apply in peace?
wefare-can move e to greater effort than come from the incentive
to pile up a surplus of dollars. We believe it all the more because it is
around such principles that the leaders and misleaders of ordinary
people rally the masses when there is IN especially dangerous job to be
done, A soldier faces mutilation and death in the task assigned to hin
But it would be an insult to the soldier and death to his morale to say,
risk your life for the right to loot the vanqushed" Instead, the soldier
goes willingly to his death because he is told that he is fighting for the
common right of all mankind-for home, for freedom. for equality, for
simple justice.
Men fight and die for those ideals. They would also work and live
for them if they became the way of life.
Socialism would call forth the greatest efforts of men because the
ideals of Socialism appeal to the real things of life. War isn't the only
situation in which the common good and basic nobility of human beings
can find expression. Peace will zee humanity giving patriotic devo-

Nozis Lecture Oppressed
SIovenes on their
Duty to Reich

WASHINGTON.-The Nazi-con-
trolled paper Donau Zeitung pub
lished in Belgrade recently carried
a special report from Ljubljana en-
titled ''Slovenes and the Reich" in
which it admitted the rising dis
satisfaction of the Slovene popula-
ton in Jugoslav territories <'incor-
porated' into Germany.
The article in the paper said, ac-
cording to reports reaching the
OWL: There is much talk in Ljub-
Llama about a revival and re-estab-
lishment of Slovenian life, about
postwar schemes and that every
thing has been falsely done during
the last few years"
To this the article in the Nazi
paper answered: Wrong education
of the youth can not be changed
overnight. Sound national feeling
(of the Slovens) has degenerated
into an exaggerated chauvinism.
Volkstum frontiers, which those
concerned, the Wends in South Ca
rinthia and Lower Syria, did not
want, have been scientifically prov
ed to have existed always"
Then in an outburst of self-vindi-
cation, the article, as reported to
the Owl, added: Instead Of refer
ring tn q centuries old memberShip
in the Reich, they (the Slovenes)
refer to it as to the arch enemy.
Instead of RENDERING the origin OF
cultural forces in the Slovenian
area, they have become servants OF
Western mentality. Instead of lean
ing ON their northern neighbor,
they plot with London and Mos
cow"

Cooperative leaders are alarmed
over what they regard as a concert
ed drive to destroy their organiza-
tions. They anticipate the same
kind of smear" campaign that has
been waged for the last few years
against organized labor.
Foes of the c~ooperatives are ex-
pected to pick out a dishonest CO.
operative-there are a few of this
kind managed by individuals for
their profit--and hold it up as a
horrible example" of the whole
great movement. Evidence that this
is the tactic to be employed is seen
in articles by newspaper columnists
who are or have been on the pay
roll of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
The preliminary step in the
wrecking program has already been
taken. Congress was induced by

MORE SMEAR LABOR

Organized labor faces another
vicious attack in the person of Oh.
E. Coughlin, the Royal Oak priest
who defames the honored religious
gowns he wears.
Coughlin already has announced
via radio that it makes no differ
ence what military force wins the
war" also declared that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the
CIO are responsible for starting
this war;
Coughlin's reasoning, if it may
be termed reasoning in a distorted
mind, is that AFL and CLIO support
ed repeal of the neutrality act. This
repeal pushed us into war, there
fore, (and quoting from Coughlin
direct) II say the AFL and Go are
responsible for our entering the
war"
In another address recently,
Coughlin said II still have respect
for Hitler"
Coughlin also attacked the vari-
Gus war bond drives of the nation
and urged that call people holding
war bonds over ST. 900 should burn
up all over this figure"
you've seen the best living stan
dard in the world in America"
Coughlin goes on to say, now pre-
pare for the worst. Your children
will live on a much lower standard.
At the conclusion of this war, when
war bonds start maturing the only
way they car be met is by at least
a so per cent withholding tax. And
this is all for a lost cause. I repeat
that we r fighting a lost cause"
Even Hitler and Hirohito couldn't
preach Anti-Americanism any bet
ter than Coughlin.-The Progress

BUT TORIES STILL RED.BAIT

Our Mr.. Lands points out in his article the ironic coincidence that
Martin Dies announced his retirement from Congress just at the mo-
raent the Communist party carried out. its announced plan to commit
technical hara-kiri Unfortunately, the new Communist Political Asso-
citation, successor to the party, is likely still to give tories something to
pretend to be frightened about.
Communists are discredited as American menace" because they
stripped themselves naked of intellectual honesty in their gyrations on
American foreign policy. Even recently, while denouncing the Anglo
American policy on Badogio, they were caught short by Stains "recog-
milton" of Badoglio. They promptly flipflopped, and now they denounce
any liberal who dares question the Allied filtration with Italian fasGsm.
Unbelievable as it may seem, the current party line O the home front
is to be tender toward employers and rough on any bedevned union that
gets itself jammed in a strike.
Fortnight native radicalisrn has a place in a democracy. American
Communism today is neither native % radical. 1t is a pale reflection
of what its leaders guess, at a given moment, is Rusias policy. That is
not useful either to Russia or the United States-but it is useful to those
who want to smear liberals and progressivest as dangerous Reds" =

DIES AND COMMUNISTS
SYNCHRONIZE
DEPARTURE
By K. M. lands II in The
Chicago Sun

Did you ever notice how things
come in pairs?
No sooner had Representative
Dies announced his forthcoming re-
tirement than his old side-kick, the
Communist party, decided to dis
solve.
This was appropriate. 1t is hard
to imagine the Communist party
without Martin Dies, or Martin Dies
without the Communist party.
For six years they have been
the Dead End Kids of our politics,
linked together in their tumbles
like a pair of Siamese twins who
couldn't get along with each other
or without each other.
With each session of Congress
they became mor indispensable
to each other. The bond between
them thickened every time the Dies
committee got a new appropriation,
and as they grew in circus noto-
riety, it would be difficult to say
which drew the most nourishment
from which.
They fed on publicity and passed
it back and forth until they reached
frightening dimensions. AS a result,
the Communist party, which had a
normal capacity of some thousand
actual members, became a terrible
monster swallowing up millions of
fellow travellers - including the
little girl, Shirley Temple.
One Retires, the Other Expires
And look what it did for Martin
Dies, who without the Communist
party would have remained an OBJ
scure poll-tax congressman from
Texas. He suddenly became a great
giant in the land as he wrestled
with the dragon to save us all from
destruction. s
Now what has happened? In the
midst of a great war, while our
armies r abroad, Mr.. Dies an
nounces he is going to retire and go
back to Texas. And forthwith the
Communist party grows pale and
dies.
Maybe it is just a coincidence.
Mr.. Dies says he is suffering from
a throat ailment. This seems
