PIon Coop Housing

Housing, we, believe, is of those commodities which will never
satisfactorily by provided for the consumer until the consumer srs
himself do to something about it.
Both business and government planners are counting on a heavy
building program after the war. A housing boom is not to be welcomed.
however, II it means a rush of private builders to lay out new gash.
and Il-planned subdivisions and erect on them shoddy dwellings which
are physically inadequate and esthetcaly deplorable. These districts
are the sluuns of the future. Are we going to build more of them?
The overcrowding, dangerous streets, lack of play space, and
]unble OF architectural effects which mark our present cities can be
avoided in our new communities. Cooperative building is one way 10
insure consideration of the consumers interest, and it has the add.
honal important advantage of making possible large economies in land
purchase and building costs, if undertaken on a fairly large scale.
The interest being shown by cooperators and labor union groups
in cooperative solutions to the housing problem is hopeful. But if such
a program is to become a reality on any large scale after the war, plans
should be begun right now. ~
From the many nuclei of interest which now exist could come
study groups to survey the needs, and then organizations ready to buy
lan and buId a S soon as conditions permit. A central advisory and
technical service might be built up from an interchange of information
among such groups.
Many things are possible in this yet scarcely touched field of CO.
operation. But the time to begin study and action is now-Co-Op

End Of Hungarian
FeudoIism?

No land stands in greater need of total internal reform than Hun
gary. And, although Adm. Horthys failure to surrender his capital and
government to the Russians may make the Soviet advance toward
Austria somewhat less rapid than had been hoped, it can simplify the
political outlook to the advantage of all concerned.
1t was hardly conceivable that the Russians would have propped
up their old enemy, Horthy, in a Darlan n Badoglo role, even had
he made good his switch of sides. But a successful switch was his only
hope for himself and for the Magyar landed aristocrats whose tool he
is. His failure to deliver the goods should destroy, once and for all,
any chance of British or other aristocrats to plead effectively for APP
peasement of those charming Hungarian feudal lords" Thus a possible
source of interallied friction is greatly reduced.
Horthy and his hackers always hated the Nazs, of course, not only
because they disliked bad manners, but because they would have pre-
ferred to Vi their system of domestic repression as nearly a possible
o their own, rather than a outright puppets But they tied to Hitler
as they would have to tie to any reactionary foreign regime that could
help them keep the Hungarian people in subsection.
For the sake of European peace, therefore, a for ordinary justice
inside Hungary, they must be swept aside. The immense feudal estates
must be divided and political democracy developed. We are glad that
Americans of Hungarian descent, including Chicagoans, ire working
hard for such a Hungarian new deal. 1t should have the full support of
our government. - The Chicago Sun.

Big Business Getting
Bigger

Big Business is getting bigger, and presents a seriousm menace tn
democracy in the years ahead, the CLIO research department warns in
the issue of Economic Outlook.
"CIO unions do not go in for trust busting of the old styen 4e
report says, pointing out that big concerns n here to stay. But, it adds
power must be tempered by democratic participation"
The questions that the mar on the street corner is asking, the Co
statement asserts, are these: Isn't there any limit to the privacy Of
private enterprise? Just how free do we want free enterprise to b9
II the rest OF IS are to have freedom, isn't there some limit to the
privacy for a huge concern? Haven't we a right to know the plans
of the company for the Main P1ant?"
Some of the facts the Go cites to back up its statements are these:
More than half of the government-owned plants ri operated by only
81 corporations. One hundred companies had received 86 per cent Of
the value of government contracts by December, 1910. BY the summer
OF 1913, they we're still getting 20 per cent of the jobs.
U. S. Steel owns over $4,000, 100000 worth of the national wealth

SLOVENE NEWSPAPERS
ARE PRINTED AND
DISTRIBUTED BEHIND
ENEMY LINES

Washington. - Slovene newspa-
permen of the Patriot forces re-
gularly print and distribute 81, 900
copies of newspapers behind Nazi
lines in occupied Slovene sectors of
Jugoslavia, BIC said recently in a
dispatch reported to OWL.
Quoting a report from its cor
respondent James Matthew, who
has just completed a seven-week
trip through Patriot-held areas in
Slovenia, the BIC broadcast said
that the four main Slovene news
papers produced bv the resistance
forces are circulated from 100 Sec
ret distribution points throughout
Slovenia.
1T is incredible that these serene
looking, beautifully printed news
papers should be produced at all"
the correspondent was quoted as
saying. AND yet each of the four
has a circulation of 10000 copies
in territory overrun by the Wehr-
macht.
The editorial offices of the Slo-
vene Herald, which is the official
paper, are high in the forests. The
printing is done at three main cen
ters. Three centers for printing
must be maintained because it is
impossible to carry large numbers
of newspapers over the Sava river
or the Graz-Trieste railroad. So a
courier slips over these highly-de-
Tended obstacles carrying only the
manuscript with him.
"The idea is" Matthew conclud-
ed, that no one who speaks the
Slovene language, even If he lives
within the old Austrian border,
shall lack the chance of keeping
contact with his own people and
their allies"

@. |. Joe Comes Home
: TO What?

Congress thought it got everything set for a first-class home
coming party. The veteran back from the wars is to have his old job
back. Why should he not be happy?
And there is Governor Dewey-who thinks there will be jobs
enough if we just reduce the taxes and let business alone.
And, moreover, Joe has had a fine line of ani-unon propaganda
fed to him all through these wa years. The union men nave laid down
on the job of making planes and tanks and guns, Joe was told.
But there are more than 5000, 600 union men in the Army and the
Navy. There may be some bull sessions at the front in which the unions
ire not without friends.
And, too, Philip Murray, President of the CLIO, says this job priority
iegislated by Congress is not a very reliable key to prosperity. A lot of
GLs never had a job before they put on their uniforms. A lot of others
will find that they can't recognize the old place when they get back
home. There won't be anything resembling the old job within shooting
OF shouting distance. And suppose five or six chaps had the same job
in succession before Uncle Sam tapped them O the shoulder. Who
will get the nod when the whistle blows?
SGT is pretty clear-there will not be jobs and security for GIL
Joe unless we have jobs and security for just about everyone. And we
can't have anything of that sort unless we have strong unions.
And if the boys coming home want to enjoy regular mess instead Of
getting into a mess-it might be a good idea for them to join up-The
New Leader.

In THE WIND
From THE NATION

DR.. Ralph Cooper Hutchinson,
president of Washington and JEFF
fcrson College, addressed a recent
meeting of the Washington Council
of Republican Women in these
words: "The principle which says
you have too many pigs and must
kill them, whether you want to or
not, is the same principle which
says that a nation has too many
Jews and kills them for the good
Of society. The subordination of
the individual to the state is ap.
piled here, only in a lesser degree.
Are we to defeat Hitler only to be
subjugated to the same princip-
les?"
1t is the official position Of the
British Colonial Office and the
Palestine government that there is
no room in Palestine for further
Jewish immigration. But the Jour
nal d'Egypte reports that the Egyp-
tan Ministry of Social Affairs is
considering a request by the Pal
estine government for 5000
Egyptian laborers to be used on
civilian public works.
The news is better from South
Africa. A number of typists en-
ployed in the government pension
office at Pretoria protested against
a rule requiring them to address
correspondence to Negro pension
ers in the same manner as to white
ones, using Dear Sir" or Dear
Madam and ending your Faith
fully" The protesting typists were
told that their services were nc
longer required.

CAPITALIZING ON
DECENCY

One of the columnists who writes
regularly for the rabidly-Roose-
welt Philadelphia Record is a per-
son whose name is Charles Fisher.
We don't know whether Mr.. Fisher
is q jew or not. Moreover, we don't
care. But we do think he's crying
wolf, wolf" in an effort to create
a reaction favorable to Sidney Hill
mans efforts to herd union work
ers into the Roosevelt camp.
Mr.. Fisher complains that Rep
ublican speakers are appealing to
anti-Semitism by referring to Hill
man as an "ex-pants p~resser," a
Russian emigrant' and the like.
The COP spellbinders, he asserts,
make their real meaning clear by
their winks."
Well, we don't doubt that there
are Republicans who would do just
that-just as there were Demo-
Gratis who deserted their own can
didate in 1928 because AL. Smith
was a Roman Catholic. But we
think it's mighty cheap-and per-
haps acknowledgements to at
tempt to make an issue out of such
infrequent campaign tactics.
We hope that Mr.. Hillman will
not be needed by the workers of
America. We hope it, however, be-
cause we want every wage Garner
to vote for Norman Thomas and
Darlington Hopes, and not be-
cause of Hillman's religion and an
cestry.

Marx, as their principal tneorist

ed leader of the American Socialist

Coming back to Mr.. Fisher, we

Wo Audible Uh-Huhs

Circumstances, that is the printed word, compel us to utter two
very audible uh-huhs IS the business mans bible, his WelLedned
business press, prints the item indicating that values in Wall Street
have increased by approximately fifteen billion dollars from January
!, 193 through August !, 1914. This was to have been a proft1ess war,
or sc the public had been informed. How come, then, increases in the
value of stocks listed on the New York Stock exchange by such a
tremendous amount?
January /, 1913, a full year after Pearl Harbor, stocks were worth
almost thrty-nine billion of dollars. August /, 1914, just a year and
q half later stocks had risen in value to more than ffty-three billions
of dollars.
There must be something wrong here. Wages haven't increased
that much in the aggregate base scales; the working man hasn't been
able etc save that much money in his cash pile or in his war bonds.
Could it be possible the rich, who owned the stocks in the first
place, have added that much to their wealth?
You said it brother-thats exactly what happened!-The Progress

Britain New Social
Security Plan

London. - Astounding a some
what skeptical world, who thought
that their discussion of the BeVer-
idge plan was mere home-front
propaganda and that their govern
ment would be willing to really go
ahead with an adequate social sec
urity system five years of about
war, the British announced a
cradle to-the-grave security plan,
which is only slightly less thoro-
going than was the Beveridge plan.
The plan, termed by the govt
its prosperity and happiness pro-
gram" and blessed by Beveridge
who thought it was even an i'm
provement Owe his own, is all
embracing, providing for every
man, woman and child, and will
be financed by contributions from
all who are able to pay. Benefits
begin at birth, with a maternity
allowance, and end at death with a
grant. They lover sickness, invalid
ism, unemployment, retirement,
widows pensions, orphans allow
ances industrial injuries family
allowances maternity and death
grants. Some of the benefits will
be:

enacted into law, its approval
seem certain, as it is proposed by
the government itself.

Sample Benefits

Maternity grants, SIG, plus re-

unemployment and sickness pay

$4.80 for a single person; family
allowances 81 plus payments in

each child after the first; widows
pensions, $7.20 a week for the first
IS weeks; orphans allowances,
$40 per week.
The plan will cost So billion 600
million for the first year, or about
$188 million less than the Bever-
idge plan. The average worker
will contribute about 80c per week,
his employer slightly less. Taxa
ton will make up the balance until
the plan becomes self-supporting,
which will be in 1875.
The public and the press were
enthusiastic. London Times calling
plan IAN epoch-making document"
the Daily Express "a wonderful
scheme"
Objections
Private profits insurance forms
and the Labor Party were not so
enthusiastic, however. (Only in
franc company that OK'd the
earlier Beveridge plan was the big
cooperative insurance setup). A
spokesman of the insurance COM
panies said they will fight it to
the end" because it "short-circuits
approved societies." and because
the death benefits, they feared,
would be a blow to industrial and
other insurance. The Labor Party,
on the other hand, criticized the
fact that the plan makes (1} Sin
sufficient provision for children"
(2) because it does not relate it's
benefits directly to the cost of liv-
ing, as the Beverage plan would
have done, and (3) because the
plans unemployment benefits will
last only 30 weeks instead of indie
finitely.
