is expected to serve usefully in the
development Of improved interna-
tional relationships after the. war
There Is reason to believe that prac-
tical detectives stated in this charter
will be found In the language, at
least, of peace terms eventually
dictated by the allied nations.
Whether, however, this amounts
to more than language will remain
to be seen, and a country which
will have much to do with deter
mining that question is our own. 1t
is natural for us, when we give
thought to this subject, to find our
selves filled with misgivings about
other countries. Our minds might
be better employed with our own
part of the general problem. That's
matter we can do something
about.
The Philadelphia Charter de-
clares, among other things, for:
Extension of social security meas
ures to provide basic income for
all in need of such protection, and
comprehensive medical care"
Bill Awaits Action.
Today a bill that would enable
the United States to carry out this
pledge lies asleep In the Senate FL
nance Committee and the House
Ways and Means Committee. It
sleeps so heavily, In fact. as to
suggest 1t has been drugged or per-
haps hit over the head by chair
mans gavel. This measure-the
Wagner Murray DingelI bill---is not
the result of a sudden inspiration.
1t is the outgrowth of decades of
study and experience. Tt has the
support of nearly everybody who has
considered and dealt with the prob
lens of social security. Organized
labor, which once concerned itself
chiefly with protection against the
''pauper labor" of other lands,
warmly supports this measure and
wants action now. Labor argues
that the bill will not only provide
the country with a complete and
comprehensive social insurance sys-
tenn, but that it will help cushion
the shocks of postwar unemploy-
ment and distress.
The bill is neither novel or rad
ical. A contributory social in
surance system has been operating
in this country for nearly nine
years. The proposed measure would
extend the present systems benefits
to working people not already COW
cred, including farmers, other self
employed persons and domestic
workers. Some 20,000,00o persons
would be added. Particular protec-
ton would be given against the
risks of permanent and temporary.
disability and provision made for
hospital costs and medical care.
The bill would create q national
system for job placement and un-
employment insurance and also
make it easier for the poorer States
to meet their public assistance bur-
dens. The social insurances against
the major risks faced by American
families would be brought under one
Federal plan, paid for by contribu-
tions from workers and employers
on a $3.50 basis--a cut in the rate
for employers, by the way, who now
pay much more than the workers.
Reinsurance for All.
This bill offers more than an as
surance of the sincerity of our
pledge to the other nations. 1t

Recently it was reported that
a high government Official stated
that the strikes in this country
whipped up the tagging morale of
the Axis powers and would result
in a longer war and greater cas-
ualties. Labor leaders Immediately
set up howl and demanded that
the statement be proved. The best
answer to this is the following
question:: What would we in this
country think if the news should
come out of Germany that work
ers were striking and walking out
of war production plants, the
mines and the railroads? We
would think that affairs were get
ting pretty bad in Germany and
would be considerably heartened
and encouraged. It would result
in rebuilding our efforts for the
knockout. Is there any reason to
believe that the Nazis think dif
ferently?

The War Food Administration
has endorsed legislation to set up
a government stamp plan to SUBJ
sidize grocery bills of low income
families. They estimate that there
will be 100000 persons eligible
for this relief, and that's about
one-third of the people now en-
gagged in productive employment
If, during these times of full en-
ployment, one-third of our people
need government aid, what may
we expect when the war is over?
Of more concern, perhaps, is how
we are going to pay for it.

A FREE CHINA

It is a good idea, for united
front on the Pacific, to know more
about each other that we can be-
come understanding and cooper
ative. When we were stuck back
of a school desk we learned of
the geographical position of China,
the names of its largest rivers,
what it offered civilization through
inventions and so on. Maybe we
have forgotten that every fifth
person on earth is Chinese. China
is larger than our own country
or Europe and its population 3k
times greater than ours. Eighty
percent live in the rural districts
and are crowded into 1-3 the area
of the land. We have probably
felt that all was rice in China,
when, as a matter of fact, she used
and produces more wheat than do
we with soybeans, sweet potatoes
and cabbages more than rice. Rich
in minerals and ores, still its
greatest asset along this line is
its intelligent, industrious and
democratic manpower. We have
felt China was backward because
its culture did not keep up with
the rapid pace of the rest of the
world. Through the outside, Eng
lish has now found second place
in the language of the country.
Chinese women are taking their
place with men in business. News
papers, radios and movies are
making them more socially con-
scious. China is a rich country in
its system of waterways but in
order to develop them for mod
ern usage it will take millions of
dollars. Railroads could reach
into the heavily populated terri
tory and improve the opportuni-
ties of the people and of capital.
It is vast subject, this China,
with such possibilities for great
ness that the whole future history
of the world may have a bearing
upon the Chinese influence. It
is country to be developed,
helped, understood and above all
respected.

National leaders and chamber of
commerce heads are wrestling
with the problem of what should
be done after the war. The pur-
pose of the study is to insure en-
ployment for the returning sold
iers. We would suggest that these
organizations contact the house.
wives of America. We know from
what we have heard that the
average housewife has a list Of
things she desires done to the
house that will keep all available
labor busy for some time to come.

In business, in life, and in war,
being licked is often merely a
matter of admitting it. Some men
have been whipped in business for
years and have never admitted it
to themselves. They have gone
on and on doing the best they
know how. After all, being
whipped is, in most instances,
falling short of ones dreams, and
plans and ideals. What is brilliant
success to one man is mediocrity
to another or failure to another.
It all depends upon the dream, the
goal, the ideal, whether one fails
or succeeds.

NEEDS SLACK

Industry needs some slack for

fluctuations into TEN pOrary
peaks, and for the rhythm of
progress.
The overemphasis of full
capacity operation comes from
static minds who DO not believe
in the American dream of con-
tlnuing progress. Productivity
in this country rose by more
than 300 per cent in the half
century after 1880.
Present full capacity might
well be deemd undercapacity in
