LISTS REQUIREMENTS

The practical requirements for
such sense of fairness, listed
as five. aside from any question
of an international organization
10 use force. But these require
ments all boil down 10 three,
namely. ID Freedom from trade
restrictions: (2) Automatic stabi-
lization of exchange. and t3)
Population controls. So insofar as
the economist is concerned, the
question remains. how can these
three practical requirements be
met?
The first requirement is simply
the economic principle of COM
parative advantage" If nation
can produce a hundred products,
all more cheaply than foreign
countries. il should still specialize
in the few in which il has the
greatest relative advantage, and
trade those for the foreign prod
ucts in which il has the least
advantage. Thus perh APPS we
should produce and export more
machinery and automobiles, and
import more pig iron.

Key 10 Peace
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Lconomics. y '. University
The other day ! pointed out the
limitations of such an interna-
tional conference as that at Dunn
barton oaks. II deals largely with
m a chinery and organization,
which, while important, do not get
down to fundamentals. Underlying
all problems of war or peace, is
the problem of equilibrium as IT
manfestS itself in peoples minds.
II there be a sense of fairness.
based on an understanding OF
conditions, there is a real basis
for peace. otherwise not.
But such a sense OF fairness can
come only out of equal oppor-
tunity through freedom of trade.
On such a basis, any man can say:
at il not so rich. but IL il my
home land. and by specializing
according TO Its characteristics
I can make the most Of II. trad
ing my surplus for the products
of other lands"

WORKS AUTOMATICALLY

This principle will work out
automatically if we will provide
freedom from such trade restric-
tons as protective tariffs. -suhsi-
dies, and cartel controls over pro-
duction and sales. Then. the peo-
Pile of each nation could produce
what they are best fitted for and
could get what they want for con-
sumption at the lowest cost.
OF course, any change in tariff
protection might cause trouble in
the protected industry and require
assistance to the labor and capital
involved. But this cost would be
temporary and slight in COMPARE
son with the great advantages to
be gained.

SINGLE STANDARD

The second requirement is the
adoption of single standard for
settling international balances,
presumably the gold standard.
This, | think, can be attained in
only one way. If Great Britain
will make the pound sterling the
equivalent Of ay IS grains of
pure gold, while we make the dol
lar worth 1877 grains Of pure gold.
two results will be attained. The
pound and the dollar will each
have definite and fairly stable
exchange ratio. The pound would
always be worth four times a
dollar and the exchange rate
would never vary more than a
couple of cents either way. Then
other nations can adjust them
selves similarly.
The third requirement is that
no nation turn itself into a spawn
ing or breeding mass of animals.
Instead, all people should be given
the idea that no family ought TO
be larger than its parents can
provide for decently. To this end.
ideals of living standards can he
raised, religious sanctions of unre-
stricted breeding can be modified.
and political animosities that urge
nations 10 train up cannon fodder
for the next war can be assuaged.

Charter Amendment
Would Raise Taxes

Tuesday, when you go to the
polls, you will be handed a special
ballot for a charter amendment to
add another two-mill levy to your
already overburdened taxes. On the
face of it. this added tax levy is
supposedly to provide funds for
pay raises promised Omaha police
and firemen, and to take care of
needs of the fire and police pension
fund. However, unless you defeat
this charter amendment proposal
you may be letting yourself in for
DOUBLE TAXING.

Somewhere In The Pacific A
Navy flyer plummets his dive
bomber in near vertical descent,
briefly racing his own bomb to-
ward targets such as this Jap
cruiser our flyers bombed, burn
ed and sank off the Marshall Is
lands.
Navy bombs are equipped with
delicate automatic fuses which
have little propellers that start
whirling when the bomb is drop
ped. After falling about 500 feet
it uhscrews the mechanism and a
plunger falls into firing position
ready to explode the bomb when
it hits the target.
Foretelling bad news for the
Japs, bomb fuses of this type
have secretly been in mass pro-
duction by Nash-Kelvinator Cor
poration since March, 1912, it was
recently disclosed in a Navy ap-
proved statement announcing
completion of the big contract
ION schedule.
The Omaha guide., 1944-04-08

Acting under strict military
censorship, Nash-Kelvinator be-
came one of the worlds largest
manufacturers of bomb fuses,
producing three types for Navy
bombs ranging from 100 pound
ers up to Atoll-Buster size. -e
Manufacture of these bomb
fuses has been proceeding along
with the company's mass produc-
ton of 1000 HIP aircraft engines,
hydromatic propellers, propeller
governors, and large scale manu-
facture of essential parts for
jeeps, seeps, tanks and trucks
and parts for submarines and
ships. @nxss
The bomb fuses, none Of which
have been seen by the public,
have established an outstanding
record in the Pacific. Larger size
Navy bombs carry two Of these

tail. None Of these bombs has
ever been known to fall on the

Beware Coughs
 from common colds

Chronic bronchitis may develop if your cough, chest cold, or acute bron- chiti5 is not treated and you cannot afford to take a chance with anymedi- cine less potent than Creomulsion which goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ soothe and heal raw, tender, infamed bronchial mucous membranes.
 Creomulsion blends beechwood creosote byspecial process with other time tested medicines for coughs. It contains no narcotics.
 No matter how many medicines you have tried, tell your druggist to sell you 9 bottle of Creomulsion with the understanding you must like the way it quickly allays the cough, per- 1nitting rest and sleep, or you are to have your money back. (Adv)

OF LITTLE
FORMULAS SOON

WASHINGTON QP)-A prediction
was made here NOV. ? by CLIO Counsel
Lee Pressman that Pres, Roosevelt will
uncap the lid on wages soon-before
victory is won in Europe.
Pressman, who presented the case OF
the United Steelworkers CC1O) to the
Natl. War Labor Board also said he ex-
pected the administration to settle the
other issues in the case, vacations, the
guaranteed annual wage and so forth,
sometime during November.
Meanwhile the WLB, with its AFL
members absent from the steel hearings,
continued to meet and Chairman william
H. Davis reported steady progress.
The AFL reported that its members,
Sec. Treas. George Meany and 2nd Vice
Pres. Matthew VOL were suspicious Of
a move by the WLB to appease certain
CLIO unions by offering hidden wage
increases in the form Of differentials for
night work, vacations with pay, etc.
which will not involve any open break
in the Little Steel Formula.

YOU MUST FILE
NEW TAX REPORT

WASHINGTON, D. C-Workers are
advised by Joseph D. Nunan, IT, Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, to file
new Withholding exemption certificates
with their employers no later than De-
cember /, ais required under the Indi-
vidual Income Tax Act Of 1914.
The new law changed the method Of
counting exemptions, and therefore
made it necessary to get new certificates
from all employees who work for wages
from which income tax is withheld. The
new certificates must be filed to assure
employees the proper exemptions from
withholding on all wages paid on and
after January 1, l945. All old exemption
certificates now in use will expire auto
m~atically December 81.
The law does not permit an employe
to receive any withholding exemption
after January 1 unless he has given his
employer a new certificate, Nunan point
ed out.
A leaflet designed to help employees
understand and fill out the new exemp-
ton certificates will be distributed by
employers along with the new certificate
forms, Nunan announced.
The new exemption certificates and
Withholding tables were provided under
the new law to adjust the employees
withholding more closely to his income
tax liability, Nunan said adding that
on the average, Withholding will be
about the same as at present, but may
be either more or less in individual cases.

SOUTH AMERICAN
LABOR EAGER TO
KNOW u. S. UNIONS

WASHINGTON tFP)-TWo OF the Lat
IN American labor representatives,
guests of the U. S. Dept. Of Labor fin
ished the first lap Of their tour around
u. S. war plants, textile mills, shipyards,
and airplane factories, reporting to the
women's division Nov. 1 that they've
learned much about working conditions
here and are eager to know more-much
more-about the American trade union
movement.
Part of a group Of 8 government labor
officials from S Latin American repub-
lies Sra. Jandyra Rodrigues is inspection
chief for women and child workers in the
sac Paulo, Brazil, department of labor.
sra. Carmen Vasquez Gomez de Molina,
is labor inspector for the women's divis-
ion Of the Mexican department OF labor.
Although they've been IN the U. S.
only a short time on their unique good
neighbor trip to better understand Amer
lean labor gains and problems, the SEN
oras are already impressed with the
beautiful interest of women" in indust-
rial, legislative and political affairs.
with great approval they noted that
certain labor officials in North Carolina
are elected instead Of appointed to their
posts, contrary to procedure in Brazil
and Mexico as well as most states in the
u. S.
They also pointed out that factories
employing more than so women in Mex
leo and 30 women in Brazil are required
by law to maintain nurseries for the
very young children Of working mothers,
considering it a gain for U. S. women to
work toward.
Visiting textile mills in South Carolina
to study methods for preventing indus
trial accidents and problems Of women
workers, they are looking forward to
seeing the u. S.. industrial wal machine
at work in Chicago, New York and Phila-
delphia.
In these cities they hope to meet with
trade nionists to get a better picture
Of problems facing workers from the I'M
ion point of view.

FEEDER ROAD PLAN
MERITS SUPPORT
OF HIGHWAY USERS

Montana residents who depend pri-
marily upon secondary Or feeder roads
for their access to markets are support
ing a contention of the state highway
department that secondary road federal
standards be lowered to permit more
mileage to be built.
The department claims only by the
adoption of federal regulations permit
ting such a course can the appropria-
lions for secondary mileage likely to
become available by enactment Of high
way legislation now under consideration
by the congress be made to serve to the
greatest possible advantage from the
standpoint of our rural population.
"Montanab secondary and faTm-to-
market system is limited by the federal
government to $500 miles. Deducting
500 miles constructed since 1884, there
remains a mileage Of $500 to be devel-
oped. On the basis Of pending federal
legislation and prevailing road design
Standards, this development would take
18 years. Then there still would remain
SIS, 500 miles Of rural highway not eligible
for federal funds.
"Advocation of the adoption Of lower
standards by the federal government by
the persons using those rural roads
would permit an adequate secondary
system within a reasonable time and
would form a really constructive basis
for an overall postwar highway pro-
gram"

UNDER SECRETARY
PATTERSON
PRAISES LABOR

New York-American workers share
with the Army and Navy the credit for
the great achievements of this war, ac-
cording to Under Secretary Of War
Robert P. Patterson. He pointed to the
carrying out of the Leyte invasion in
the Pacific " at the very time that our
supply requirements in Europe are reach
ing their peak" as proof Of the strides
made since Pearl Harbor.
In comprehensive review Of the War
picture before the Association Of the Bar
of New York City, the Under Secretary
spiked hopes however, that the war is
"on its last legs" and warned that win
ming it is still the nations number one
job" He stated:
"The belief that the war is a thing of
the past comes from grossly exaggerat-
ed stories as to cutbacks in the war pro-
duction program and from the vast
amount Of postwar planning that is be-
ing carried on. OF course, we should plan
for industrial r-econversion and demobil-
ization. We in the Wa Department
have carried on that planning for
months. Of course, we should plan for
world security, at Dumbarton oaks and
elsewhere, so that the peace we are fight
ing for will be preserved. We should be
derelict if we did not carry on that
planning now.
THE trouble is not with the postwar
planning. It is with the implication
that springs so readily from the plan
ming. the idea that the planning a only
mean that the wal is in the bag and that
here at home we had better relax a little
and concern ourselves with the pros
poets of brighter days ahead. But the
postwar plans are utterly worthless un-
less we first win the war. And the war
is a present reality with the 6,OOO,O0O
young Americans who are fighting it out
overseas. The casualties reported last
week, Army and Navy, in addition to
those previously reported, were $4,000
killed, wounded and missing.
"The Infantry soldier is still up in
front, taking the rain and the cold in a
foxhole keeping down his hunger with
cold c rations. There is no glamour, in
his life. He is provided with weapons
that give him great firepower weapons
that he loves; but we should not over
look the fact that the German firepower
is great too, and it is directly aimed at
him"

Serious Lack of Child
Care Services Revealed

AS long as the size Of the family
pocketbook determines whether a child
and his mother are going to get the best
available medical care at birth, we are
undermining the possibility of main
tanning a healthy and strong generation
DR.. Leonard W. Mayo told the annual
meeting of the board of directors of the
Child Welfare League.
The League reported serious and un-
necessary suffering and increased deaths
from diarrhea among this years record
crop of babies overtaxing of existing
child care facilities, a newly discovered
need for these services, and a gain in
nationwide efforts to provide day care
for children of working mothers. The
overall lack of services for the protee-
ton Of children is "~disgracefu to a
country with so many resources" the
eague declared.

PRELIMINARY MEET
FOR WORLD LABOR
FARLEY is CALLED

WASHINGTON (FP)-A preliminary
conference to set the agenda for the Jan.
8 world labor congress in London will be
attended Dec. 4 by representatives of the
CLIO.
Announcing the CLOS acceptance of
the invitation sent by Sir Walter Citrine,
general secretary of the British Trades
Union Congress, CLIO Pres. Philip Mur-
ray said Nov. 2 that Pres. Sidney Hill
man Of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers, Pres. r. j.. Thomas of the United
Auto Workers and Pres. Emil Rieve of
the Textile workers had been asked to
represent the CLIO to help work out the
agenda.
The AFL, standing on its earlier de-
cision not to participate in the world
labor parley, sent Citrine a cablegram
informing him the AFL would not send
any representative to the Dec. A prelim-
inaries and the invitation to the Janu-
airy labor congress would be taken up
by the executive board at the AFL con-
vention in New Orleans.
Originally scheduled for June 8, the
world labor cOnclave was postponed due
to travel restrictions pending the in
vasion of Europe. The 9 CLIO internat-
ional vice presidents, Sec. Treas. James
B. Carey and Gen. Counsel Lee Pressman,
previously delegated, will attend the con-
gress with Murray when it convenes in
January.
Back in September Murray sent Cit
rine a letter, urging quick action in call
ing the United Nations labor meet and
stressing the Importance of forging IN
ity among the nations for peace.
He earlier had sent the CLIO proposed
agenda for the conclave to be attended
by union organizations of 81 countries
representing As million organized work
ers, with suggestions for speeding the al
lied war effort toward victory, facilitat-
ing postwar r|econversion and establish
ing an international trade union move
ment.
In first declining Citrine's invitation
to attend the labor congress, the AFL
refused on grounds that it should have
been called by the Init Federation Of
Trade Unions instead Of the BTUC. AT
L attendance will be possible only if the
executive board should reverse its de-
cision at the convention.
