ToIedono Pledge
Backs U.S.. Drive
To Crush japan

Mexico City, Feb. IL (ALN)-Ihe
full cooperation of labor organiza-
t;ons in 16 Latin American coun-
tries "for the complete destruction
Of fanatic Japanese barbarism ana
its system," was pledged to Presi-
dent Roosevelt today by Vicente
ombardo Toledano, president OF
the Confederation of Latin Ameri-
can Workers (CTAL).
Referring to the report on
atrocities committed "by Japanese
fascists against U. S. war prison
ers." Toledano telegraphed the
President:
ave pledge support for total de-
struction of fascism in Europe,
Asia and on the American CONT
nent. international democracy is
inconceivable with the existence
of n single fascist state anywhere.
We reiterate our appreciation OF
YOUR great services in the cause
of mankind's freedom"

CIO Backs
Jewish Home
In Palestine

Washington, Feb. 12-CIO sup
port for Congressional resolutions
aiding the development of the Jew
ish National Home in Palestine
was voiced this week in a state
ment by CLIO Pres. Philip Murray
presented to the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Murray, in urging passage of
House Joint Resolution Alb and
419, said:
1--WE believe that the progress
of the Jewish National Home
should be permitted to continue
unimpeded and unimpaired, par
ticularly in view of the tragic
plight of hundreds of thousands of
Jews in Europe, and the necessity
of providing for them a place of
resettlement and rehabilitation
after the war.
"The half-million who have set
tied in Palestine since the issuance
of the Balfour Declaration have
demonstrated their capacity for
building in days to come a free
and democratic Jewish Common
wealth based upon the principles
of equality and justice.
1--WE believe that one of the
most important results which can
come of the present struggle being
waged by the democratic forces of
the world will be an expanded OPP
portunity for the Jewish people
to construct a healthy and normal
national life for itself in Pales-
tine"

and expectation, Nazi and Falange
agents have succeeded in cornering
almost half of the production of
this vital war material by paying
higher prices.
The fascist contraband ring
Is headed by Walter Held, we'll
known Nazi agent in Colombia
who is also head of the so-called
casa Helda." The ring includes
two other Nazi agents, Fux and
Kraus, according to the revela-
tons.
The platinum Is brought to the
ports of Buenaventura. Cali and
Medellin by two Falangists
named Velero and Cajale for
shipment to Argentina.
The two Falangists travel with
great frequency from Buena-
ventura to Buenos Aires, Velero
having returned to this country
from Argentina only recently.
At this writing no government
action has been taken against
them.
It was further disclosed that the
contraband activities are being car
ried on with the help of the Ar
centine and Peruvian Ambassadors

Resurrect
Italian Labor
Federation

London, Feb. IL (ALN) - The
italian General Confederation Of
Labor (CGL), which had 2,50O,oOC
members before its dissolution in
1927 by Mussolini, was reconsti'
tuted this week at the Bari Con
gress of Italian Committees Of
National Liberation. Headquarters
of the CGL will be set up in Bari
until the liberation of Rome" II
was announced.
The Congress, attended by 500
representatives Of the six anti
fascist parties and the trade
unions, called for the immediate
abdication OF the King and set
up a permanent executive COM
mittee.
The delegates, coming from oc'
cupied as well as liberated Italy
unanimously resolved:
"A government, in which all
parties represented at the Congress
should participate, must be formed
with full powers to deal with the
exceptional circumstances. Such a
government in Italy should have
the task of intensifying the war
effort to the utmost, Of solving
the most urgent problems in Ital-
ian life with the support of the
masses, and of arranging and
guaranteeing the convocation Of q
constituent assembly as soon as
hostilities cease"

British Union
Membership
Tops 8 Million

London, Feb. IL (ALN The
membership of the Amalgamated
Engineering Union, largest labor
organization in Britain's war in
dustries, reached an all-time peak
of s15,2s7 in December, and its
financial resources high OF
f5,5oO,Ooo tS22,OOO,ooo), the AEU
announced this week.
"This rapid expansion Of our
union reflects the growth Of the
whole British trade union move
ment," the AEU Journal COM
ments. Last years increase in
membership In all unions over
the Dec, 1912, total of 7,7S1.OO0
carries aggregate membership
well beyond the peak point, at
tanned Mt the end Of 1920, OF
S,S4S, OO0." Largest gain last year
took place In the metal and gen.
eral labor unions.
"What is particularly significant
about these official figures" the
AEW Journal continues. sis that
nearly three-fifths of the aggregate
membership is concentrated In 16
unions. (225 unions are affiliated
to the Trades Union Congress.)
The AEU is seeking to reduce the
number of unions in the engineer
ing industry.

to Colombia. Before Pearl Harbor
the Japanese Minister to Colombia
received 20 kilos of platinum for
approximately 100000. the report
states. The diplomat received the
metal personally in his quarters at
the Alferez Real Hotel in Cali.
Most of Colombia's platinum is
found in the beds Of rivers in the
Choco district, on the Pacific coast.
These deposits are worked by the
Choco Pacifico, a u. S. company, or
by natives using the most primi-
tive extracting methods.

Tool Grab
By Industry
Hit by JAW

Detroit, Feb. Industry Is
putting on a postwar bargain hunt
ing campaign aimed at acquiring
government-built machine tools for
10 to IS percent of what the gov.
eminent paid for them, Walter p
Reuther, vice-president Of the CLIO
United Automobile Workers
charged here this week.
Supporting his charge with an
analysis of recent testimony given
by K. T. Keller, Chrysler president,
before the Truman Senate Com
mittee. Reuther said that Keller
Is carrying the ball for the cor
porate postwar bargain-hunters."
The Chrysler official told the
committee, Reuther said, that his
company owns 20,665 machine
tools, Of which 1900 have been
converted to war work, in addi-
ton to 1927 machine tools
which were built and are owned
by the government.
Keller was reported as saying
that II Chrysler cannot obtain
these government machine tools
for Its peacetime operations,
"we'd be In O hell Of a shape"
The unions analysis Is part Of a
brief filed by the JAWS General
Motors Department with the War
Labor Board in support of the
JAWS current demands for estab-
lishment by corporations of post
war labor security funds, out Of
excess profits.
Wartime financial gains are not
only reflected in high profits and
inflated executives salaries" stated
the brief, "but billions of dollars
have been added to the capital
assets Of these corporations at the
cost Of the taxpayers.
I'm addition to the billions of
dollars being invested in new
equipment and plant expansion
on the part of these great corpo-
rations, the government itself is
constructing tremendous new
plants and equipping such plants
with billions OF dollars In capital
equipment, all of which will be
acquired by the corporations for
little more than a song in the post
war period"
