tie of war production against the enemy
within two years upholds the truth of
that principle.
1t is now proposed to substitute com
pulsory labor for our traditional system
of free labor through the enactment Of a
National Service Law.
The executive council has given calm
and careful consideration to this proposal.
We are convinced that it is based on a
mistaken premise-the premise that a
National Service Act, which would intro
duce compulsory labor in America for the
first time in history, would prevent
strikes.
The experience of other countries
notably Great Britain-proves that a
National Service Law does not prevent
strikes. There have been more strikes
proportionately in Great Britain in the
past two years than in the United States.
The laws of nature are superior to the
laws of man. It is a law of nature that
human beings will rebel against injustice.
No man-made law will prevent strikes so
long as the unjust conditions which pro-
yoke strikes are allowed to remain in
force. The way to end strikes is to give
workers fair play.
The record shows that the great ma
iority of American workers has remained
steadfastly on the job since Pearl Harbor.
Are we to punish them and ieopardize the
splendid production achievements they
have made just because a small minority
has proved less dependable?
Only two months ago the leading rep
resentatives of American industry, agri-
culture and labor joined in a unanimous
declaration that the nations manpower
problems can bes be solved by voluntary
cooperation and that a National Service
Act would only obstruct the war produc-
ton program. Can we afford to reject
this practical counsel and venture into
dangerous fields of experimentation at
this critical moment in the war effort?
The executive council firmly believes
that the war production program is pro
crossing far better than anyone could have
dared to hope two years ago ana should
not be upset by radical innovations at
this late date.
We commend the officers and members
Of the American Federation of Labor for
promptly and vigorously expressing op-
position to the proposal for a National
Service Act.-American Federationist.

ON NATIONAL SERVICE

The American Federation of Labor has
consistently supported every sound
measure designed to win the wal in the
shortest possible time. Unlike other
groups, whose opposition to Nazism and
Fascism is Of recent and belated origin,
the American Federation of Labor from
the very beginning vigorously and uncom-
prOmisingly denounced totalitarian die
tatorship and recognized its basic hostil-
ity to democracy. Labor's war against
Nazi and japanese aggression was de-
clared long before Pearl Harbor and it
has been carried on unremittingly ever
since.
Because speedy victory is its No. 1 OBJ
%iective, the American Federation Of Labor
has voluntarily submitted to various war
time controls and considerable govern
ment RECOMMENDATION Of vital matters nor
mally left to- the sphere of economic de
termination and collective bargaining
such as terms Of employment, working
conditions and wages.
The one thing the American Federation
Of Labor has not surrendered and never
will surrender is the basic freedom of
American workers. Fundamentally, this
is a war between freedom and slavery, a
war of free workers against slave work
ers. We believe that in freedom there is
strength. The amazing speed with which
free American workers have Won the bat

TENTATIVE PROPOSALS

The tentative recommendations
include setting up of an interna-
tionsl patent policy, together
with an exchange of scientific
information between nations.
This proposal is an extension
Of the Kilgore bill providing for
government aid in reese c h,
which has aroused bitter contro-
versy in industrial and scientific
circles.
Since international economic
collaboration was recommended
by the Dumbarton Oaks confer
ence. the Kilgore report will
bring this issue before the Sem
ate. even before the world organi-
zation proposed by the conference
is brought Ito treaty form.
Importance of the cartel issue
was recognized by the Foreign
Policy Association, which issued
a report suggesting that full pub
licity for cartel agreements would

evils of this system of dividing

dustrial organizations.
