SOCIALIST DEGREES
TOO HARSH PEACE

Oberlin. O. (ILNS). - No peace
will be secure which is not based on
reason and justice, Norman Thomas,
Socialist candidate for President, de-
clared here at the Oberlin Town
Meeting, under the direction OF Ober-
lin College, the student council and
civic organizations.
Thomas demanded peace terms
which would disarm but not im-pov-
erish Germany and Japan. He crit
icized President Roosevelt and Allied
| leaders as having failed to say lone
word that might shorten the war by
giving the German people little hope
of decent peace" at time when
intrigue among high German officials
and the break in German solidarity
at the top might be followed by "a
constructive revolution of the masses
of the German people, soldiers, work
ers and farmers, who have already
paid SO terrible price for Hitler's
dream of conquest and of power"
He said he hoped for an interna-
tional organization of nations but not
one meant to maintain the French,
Dutch and British empires in the Far
| East and to set up in Europe Sphere
of influence politics under which
proud and ancient nations will be
treated as the great powers have
treated the Balkan states"
His ultimate hope, Thomas said,
was for "an inclusive federation of
| free cooperative commemorative with
equality of right and obligation which
will make it possible for men in fell
lowships to harness their mighty ma
chinery no longer for the destruction
of one another but only for the de-
struction of poverty"

FACING
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

In stepping down as chairman of
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee, Senator Harry S. Truman,
Democratic Vice Presidential nominee,
blamed the opposition of the armed
services for disappointing" progress
in laying reconversion plans. He added
that the War and Navy Departments
have been bitterly opposed to taking
any action" on reconversion now.
These observations are not new but
they are deeply significant in connec-
tion with collateral events.
Less than a month ago, War Pro-
duction Board Chairman Donald M.
Nelson tangled with the War and
Navy chiefs on his program for start
ing reconversion where and when it
would not interfere with the war ef-
fort. After bitter struggle behind
the scenes, Nelson won out and War
Mobilization Director Byrnes author
lied the start of his reconversion pro-
gram by August Is.
Almost Immediately, barrage of
statements to the press was fired from
the War and Navy Departments,
warning Of production shortages and
claiming q serious lag in the output
of specific items of war equipment
needed by the fighting forces.
Raising A Furore
These statements took labor by sur

prise, for the public has been led to
believe that the needs of the armed
services were being substantially
filled. 1t was the first information to
the contrary that had been forthcom-
ing since the very beginning of the
war.
The furore raised by the armed
services, aided and abetted by the
press and radio, finally stampeded
Byrnes into action. He issued new
| decree Tightening manpower controls
so as to divert more labor to the
industries where production allegedly
had been tagging
After a day or two, reports began
creeping into newspaper stories that
the new manpower controls effectively
blockaded any possibility of the au-
thoriZed Nelson reconversion program
actually getting started. 1t was
pointed out that manpower would not
be made available for any such prof.
ects.
simultaneously, the newspapers car
ried report of the resignation of
two key experts from the War Pro-
duction Board. 1t was reported that
they took this action in protest
against the alleged suppression, at
the request of the War Department,
of data said to show that there is an
abundance on hand Of ordnance sup
plies, instead Of shortages.
This information, according to the
reports, was to have been included in
Nelson's official review of war pro-
duction during the first six months of
this year-but the Army yanked it
out.
Now we have no way of telling
whether these reports are true or
whether the War Departments claims

ASK VACATIONISTS
TO LEAVE CARRIERS
FOR ESSENTIAL JOBS

Washington, d. G. (ILNS). - The
Office of Defense Transportation is
asking that civilians try out the "stay
put" vacation plan this year and not
to clutter up trains and buses which
are badly needed for defense trans
portation.
Service men and essential business,
says o. d. T., and especially injured
men from overseas, will require all
available space in trains and buses,
and civilians should not add to the
congestion.
This advice applies especially to the
short weekend holidays, such as La
Dor Day, which is coming up, and by
which time more men will be return
ing from battle fronts.
The "stay put" vacation plan was
tested last year in some parts of the
country and was found to be real
factor in relieving transportation sys-
TENS. Home front workers found it
feasible to find satisfactory spot
near their homes and really enjoy
their vacations, where in former
years, with no restrictions, the vaca-
zionist usually sought distant resorts.
AS an official expresses it, "People
in Chicago want to go to New York.
and people in New York want to go to
Chicago. All we are asking is that
people in Chicago find spot near
Chicago, and that people in New York
stay in that .neighborhood.

Senate War Investigating Committee
might look into:
First, do actual shortages Of vital
war equipment exist?
Is production falling behind on these
or other items needed by our armed
forces in their offensive drives?
If SO, what are the causes Of the pro-
duction lag?
To what extent do frequently chang
ing designs and structural changes in
equipment hold up production sched-
ules?
What is the relation between arbi-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-08-18

trary wage freezing in certain low
paid industries, such as foundries, and
the alleged shortage of manpower in
these industries
Is there any truth to the recurring
reports that workers are leaving jobs
in war industries to seek employment
in peace-time industries which prom
ise better job security?
The final question offers a key to
the solution of a serious problem
which, if it does not exist, now, may
crop up in the future. We have no
evidence substantiating the reports
that war workers are looking for more
permanent jobs in fear of sudden cut
backs should the war end suddenly.
But if such fears are in the minds
OF war workers they are certainly JUS
titled. Thus far no provision has been
made by Congress to take care of dis
employed war workers. Immediate
enactment Of the Kilgore bill is nee
essary to keep up the morale of mil
lions of workers whose jobs depend
on the war.
Despite the increasing evidence of
shennanigans behind the scenes, labor
hesitates to enter into any controversy
on war production until the facts are
clearly established.
But we can say this-that regard
less of any and all other considera-
tions, if our armed forces need in
creased production of any particular
items, the workers of america will
do everything possible to fill the bill.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-08-18

Of certain shortages are true. Nor do
we wish to enter into controversy with
the leaders Of the armed forces over
a matter concerning which we have
no direct knowledge.
But we feel that the situation needs
investigating so that the public may
get the truth and the agency to do
this job should be the very committee
formerly headed by Senator Truman,
which he adjured to keep up its in
vestigating activities.
Some Questions
Here are some of the matters the
