Today's' hand is an example

him his slam contract. When
the dummy went down it was
clear that the only danger was IN
the heart situation, where bad
break might cause the loss OF
two tricks. Chatkin won the first
trick with dummy's ace of dia-
monds, then led a low heart 0
the ace. He returned a low
trump, winning in dummy with
the nine. Another heart was led,
and East was on the spot. He
finally decided to discard, and

Shortest chapter in the Dunn
barton Oaks proposals for a
United Nations charter is No.
III on Membership, which says
simply:
Membership Of the organiza-
ton should be open TO all peace
loving states"
What constitutes peace
loving state" isn't defined, and
by their own assertion, Ger
many and Japan are peace-lov-
ing states, so there's an argu-
ment TO be settled.
Membership in the United Ma
tons organization is not obliga-
tory, but that doesn't make
much difference. For it is gen
orally assumed that the neutral
nations like Sweden and Swift
erland will be eligible, though
they are not now members OF
the United Nations and further
more, it is specified that nom
members will be expected TO
conduct themselves so that they
shall not endanger the peace
and security of the members.

CONSERVATIVES MOVE IN

n year ago, provincial cleo

from office and the ConServa-
tlvcS moved in. II was not sim

The Conservatives won 81 seats,
but in second place came the
CCF with "a, Liberals trailing
with Is. The trend was explained
by party spokesman as due to
political consciousness whipped
up in industrial centers by high
pressure labor organizers. Such
a thing could never happen,
they suggested, in place like
Saskatchewan, where the pro-
perty-owning farmer is SUI
prCme.
But, in June, the farmers in

1t had met its obligations to the
organization.
BYLAWS CAN SET UP
THE MACHINERY
No waiting periods of proba-
ton are defined in the Dunbar
ton Oaks proposals, but they
could be specified in the final
charter drawn up when all the
United Nations meet for this
purpose next year, or they could
be written into the bylaws and
rules of procedure which the or
ganization could enact after it
was created.
Non-memberS would have
some of the rights and privileges
of members, under the Dunbar
ton Oaks draft. For instance, a
later section provides that non
members as we'll as members
may have the right to appeal TO
the organization in settling
Ia cir problems, or may call TO
the attention OF the organization
any matter endangering peace
even an act of aggression by a
member against a non-member.
Chapter w of the Dumbarton
Oaks proposals is another short
section, merely listing the prin-
cipal organs of the organization:
first General Assembly, sec
ond Security Council, third an
International Court of Justice,
fourth Secretariat, and finally,
such other subsidiary agencies
as may be found necessary"
UNLIKE OUR OWN
GOVERNMENTAL PLAN
Americans are used to the
three principal Executive, Leg
islative and Judicial branches
of their government with checks
and balances, the executive be-
ing the President, the legislative
being divided into a Senate and
House Of Representatives, the
judicial conferred in a Supreme
Court and the lower federal
courts. The proposed United Ma
tons organization isn't like that
at all o..
In the first place, there is no
real executive power, for the
United Nations organization
does not attempt 10 create a sup
erstate. The Security Council
will have certain executive pow
ers in enforcing peace, and the
Secretary General will have
certain broad administrative
powers in running the organiza-
ton. But neither will be a full
Pledged executive, performing
the functions of a world ruler.
Similarly, the Security Coun-
Gil of II members and the Gen
eral Assembly with one vote
for every member Of the United
Nations organization should not
be confused with the Senate and
House Of the u S. Congress.

ton of the separation Of powers
of these two bodies would be 10

NOT BENT-JUST SHATTERED

Chairman William H. Davis Of the War Labor
Boord soys that the steel wage decision did not even
bend" the Little Steel Formula Mr.. Davis ought to
know It's his formula or, as it looks to an outsId-
err it was his formula before it went up in cloud
Of small fragments.
The Little Steel Formula provided thot general
wooe increases should not exceed IS per cent above
the JAM e4l scale. Thot IS per cent was to cover
the estimated cost-oving increase up to the treez-
ina of wooes 1t was assumed that the cost Of living
was peeeed at that point.
Chairman Irving S. OIds Of U. S. Steel soys for
the record that the average hourly wage Of his COM
paws employees is up 43 per cent since Jan. l94l,
and the average weekly wage is up IS per cent
That increase not only exceeds the IS per cent
provided in the Little Steel formula 1t also exceeds
the cost Of living RISE which was set by the Pres'-
dents foctfindne commission at 70 to 81 per cent
II would not seem that U. S. Steel workers have
been victims Of any inequity under the Little Steel
formula. Yet it was on the specific basis Of alleged
inequity that the WLB granted increases to more
than 400 900 workers which, far as can be de-
termined exceeds on overall average Of per cent.
The raises in question we're based upon what
were described as "secondory' considerations - 4
cents an hour extra to second shift workers, cents
an hour to third shift workers. paid vacations for all
They had nothing to do with the c. |. O's prime
demand for general II cent raise. This the WLB
ducked, and President Roosevelt will take time out
from the war to decide it.
There is legitimate question whether the Little
Steel formula is equitable and should be retained II
it be the will Of the people that union members should
preserve their living standards intact in the midst OF
total war; the Little Steel formula must be scroPped
IS per cent roise will take care Of 30 per cent
increase in the general cost Of living.
But if we desire to retain the formula os REQ
sonobIe compromise between the legitimate osPiro-
tions Of workers families and the danger Of serious
initiation, then might os we'll stop kidding our
selves or permitting the estmobIe Chairman Davis
to kid U.s.
The Little Steel formula isn't just bent. It's shat
tered.
