ESSENTIAL PORTIONS
OF LETTER

The essential portions OF Chlane
Kai-shek's letter to Pre- sid n
Roosevelt follow:
For a long time the Indian peo-
pie have been expecting the United
States 70 come out and take stand
on the side of justice and equality
/ therefore venture to lay before
you my personal views on this
question.
From the point of view of the
Indian people, their consistent pur-
pose is to secure national freedom
With this object in view, the In
dian National Congress, in seeking
national independence, is domin-
ated by sentiment rather than by
reason. Consequently, l believe
attempts at repression in the form
of either public censure or force,
whether military or police, with a
view toward compelling the Indian
people to capitulate, will have the
opposite result.
THE Indian people as whole
only desire freedom for their
country, and their only expectation
is thai the United Nations will
sympathize with them in their as
piration.
For the sake of our common
victory, the United Nations must
seek to stabilize the Indian situa-
ton and to secure the Indian peo-
pies participation in the joint war
effort.
1.-The United Nations depend
upon India to contribute to the
war effort, whereas the Indian
people have little to depend upon
from the outside world. From
their own point of view, their
movement for independence is not
something new that has come into

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS
INDEPENDENT UNIONS, SO called
BY LEFT

INDEPENDENT UNIONS, so called
i have united into American Educa-
tional Society, or some such name,
demand recognition as spokesman of
independent" unions not affiliated
with the AFL or the CIO or anything
Of course, when they name them
selves independent" they are not
sincere because they Immediately de-
mand privileges which should not be
expected by Independents. They want
everything that has been earned by
organizations which are willing, to a
certain extent, to be dependent.
Local unions affiliated with the AFL
and with the CIO are willing to sub
ordinate their own desires to the
wishes of a majority of the members
affiliated with those organizations.
They hold conventions of representa-
tives of all affiliated locals and learn
what their members want And then
they all get behind the programs for
mulated by the conventions.
But these independents" want
none of this. Their central head, os-
tensibly elected by the locals, demands
nothing for the Independents as indie
pendents, but they want everything
which has been earned by the older,
more substantial and realistic central
bodies through years of effort. They
expect everything to fall right into
their laps.
And they want all this, as we say,
not because they want it or are en-
titled to it, but merely because they
say they represent the 'independ-
ents."
So, it all comes back to the ques-
ton, What is an independent ?"
Eric Johnston, president of the
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-04-07

Manufacturers A 0 C t N, in a
speech at Harvard somewhat gleeful-
ly announced that industrial tycoons
have whitewashed themselves and
are again respectable in the eyes of
the American public.
He added that organized labor, APP
parently because such detractors as
Pegler and other fascist propaganda
lists have succeeded in having daily
papers print almost daily lies about
organized labor, in his mind alienat-
ing the sympathy of the public, is now
in the doghouse Ito use his own
words), and must clean it's augean
stables SO to speak.
Eric, we fear, is permitting himself
to be persuaded by his own oratory.
He has been making speeches all over
the country, and, like our friend Rick
enbacker, has got in over his head.
Organized labor is now and always
has been 100 per cent the American
public. When you come right down to
it, there is no other American public.
We all, practically, are workers, in
one way or another, both organized
and unorganized, and the AFL and
CIO, to which Eric refers, has merely
been trying to improve conditions for
all
Eric forgets, also-or perhaps ig-
nores known figures on the huge
profits amassed by industry in the
production of war materials. Earnings
as high as 1000 per cent are not un-
usual, with executives salaries ad-
vanced 500 times.
When he stops making speeches
long enough to read a few of the re-
ports of the Truman committee, Eric
will, we are sure, then really know the
meaning of "doghouse."

PLANE OUTPUT HITS
ALL-TIME HIGH in
FEBRUARY, NELSON

Washington, D. Output of air.
craft, acknowledged to be the spear
head weapon of the forthcoming in
vasion of Europe, rose four per cent
during February, WPB Chairman
Donald Nelson announced.
Airframe weight of aircraft pro-
duced during the 29-day month
reached the all-time high of 81 400 900
pounds, not counting spare parts,
Nelson said
He emphasized that aircraft pro-
duction was especially marked by in
creasing numbers of heavy bombers.
Altogether, aircraft accounted for
80 per cent of all munitions produc-
tion in dollar volume in February.
In warning note against the draft
ing of young workers with essential
skills from war factories, Nelson de-
clared that manpower continued to be
limiting factor" in the production
of critical items such as bearings,
castings and fractional horsepower
motors
Programs which ne predicted would
most likely be adversely affected by
manpower shortages included radar,
aircraft, high octane gasoline and
synthetic rubber. These are the indus
tries, he said, which had to rely on
"many young engineers, technicians
and skilled workers with very special
training"

A CAMPAIGN FOR SILENCE

One of the earlies owl posters, re-
leased just after Pearl Harbor,
showed one gossip telling another,
you'll die when l tell you where
they're sending joel" The posters
caption ran, "And so will Joel"
1t was a gruesome and arresting
piece of propaganda, and it should
have been convincing. Evidently, how
ever, it was not, for now-two years
after Pearl Harbor-military authori-
ties are starting a new campaign to
teach Americans that free speech is
not synonymous with careless talk.
Nobody wants to give information
to the enemy Nobody wants to en-
danger the security of single soldier,
or the success of a single military
plan. Actually, the sort of campaign
that is needed is not one in which we
are warned of the consequence of
careless conversation, but one of edu-
cation, in which we are taught to
recognize the seemingly inconsequen-
tial details which might join with
other apparently unimportant facts to
make one dangerous, revealing whole.
In New York City, the Civilian De-
fense Volunteer Office has asked or
ganized labor's cooperation in their
drive to safeguard military informa-
ton, and the Labor League for HUI
man Rights, relief arm of the AFL,
has pledged full assistance to this
campaign. Other AFL affiliates, we
feel, should follow suit A pledge of
silence on war secrets should be put
on the agenda of every union meet
ing; reminder of the Importance of
that pledge can be put into every
union publication. And let us remem-
Der at all times that from General
Eisenhower down to G. l. Joe, all of
those in the services are depending on
us to think before we talk.

AFL OFFICE WORKERS
WIN BIG ELECTION

Stamford, Conn.-The AFL Office
Workers Union won a significant vic
tory in an election at the Yale &
Towne Manufacturing Company here.
John j. Murphy, AFL regional chief
of organization in New England, re-
ported that the AFL union received
262 votes out of total of 354, clear
majority, thus emitting the union to
certifcation as the exclusive bargain
ing agency for all the office workers.

COWBOYS NEEDED

Somewhere in the South Pacific,
(Delayed)-Sentries on duty at a
Marine Corps camp here complain
that much of their time is spent
shooing away visiting horses, cows
and bulls.
The natives don't believe in fencing
in their livestock and some of the
animals make nightly tours of the
camp. It's nothing unusual for Ma
rine to be reused from sleep by a
horse or COW trying to poke his head
through the mosquito netting.

UNLIMITED GUEST

Somewhere in the South Pacific,
(Delayed)-Marine fighter pilots here
have strange stories to tell of radio
conversations with Jap zero pilots
during air battles over Rabaul
Their favorite is the tale concerning
a Marine Corps torpedo bomber pilot
who was being attacked by enemy
fighters. He called for help over his
radio.
"Fighters, come down and help.
They're swarming all over me-"
Immediately there came, in clear,
unmistakable English, this answer:
"Well, what do you expect? We didn't
ask you to come up here!"
