It seems probable that the United
Nations are headed into slowly chang
ing world Of trade under which wheat
farmers could be told to switch to beef,
sugar growers to cut back acreage and
cane-cutters to hunt jobs in shirt fac
tories; drug manufacturers to cut their
prices and flnd their profits in ex-
panded trade-and so on for q thou
sand and one changes.
Shortly, the United Nations will hold
q trade conference to decide these issues.
They've been discussed now for . year
by experts from the United States and
the United Kingdom. And, in WASH
ington, every Friday, an interdepart-
mental committee meets to thresh out
the fighting subjects Of cartels, trade
agreements, production and consump-
ton.
The talks are highly secret, but plans
begin to seep out; in principles" writ
ten into United Nations agreements; In
banking and industrial periodicals.; In
annual reports from both American and
British industrial organizations in
agreements already signed by the Amer
ican Government.
The objective ties trade policies d.
rectly into keeping the peace through
q rising living standard for the world.
Party to Three Agreements.
The United States is already party to
three agreements which give q preview
of the system-to-come.
These agreements are for control Of
wheat, coffee and oil. There are sug-
gestions for similar handling Of other
commodities and even manufactured
goods.
The wheat agreement was written by
the United States, Argentina, Australia
and Canada in April, 1942, to prevent .
hop IN wheat prices like the one after
the last war, when farmers went bank
rupt and wheat rotted. The United

DROP IN SCHOOL ROLLS NOW SERIOlJs

There was drop of 1350,OOo in
elementary enrolment, only 800,0 900 of
which were due to a decrease in pop-
ulation. Oncials say that the drop
on this level will be more than balanced
this fall, however, with an influx of
100000 youngsters starting to school
for the first time.
In 1910, colleges and universities had
an enrolment of 100000. This num-
ber has decreased to $4,000 men and
500 900 women.
Alarmed especially over the large
numbers turning away from high school

reau, with the Endorsement of the War
Manpower Commission, have been con-
Quoting an intensive. national go-to-
school drive.
For, they point out, simultaneous with
the drop in enrolment was an up
surge in the number of children of
high school age at work. Even when
school was already in session, in Oc-
tober OF last year, approximately 2,75o,-
GOO boys and girls, more than q fourth
OF the 14-through-17 age group, were
working full or part time.
The purpose of the go-to-school drive
Is to enroll and keep the Nations boys
and girls of this age in school, either
fulltime or in a well-planned school,
and-work program until they complete
their courses.
More than 40 national organizations
of educators, women, employers, work
ers, church people and other civic lead
ers are putting their support behind
the campaign.

believe labor unions have q right

extent necessary to protect the funda-

their enmity toward labor and help

to know what the record meant to them.

know Of no better propaganda
against the real American labor move
ment than the appearance Of political
dictatorship by a man or group Of men,
who were elected or appointed as labor
union representatives, and not elected
to be political party bosses. If labor
unions are to become political chowder
and marching clubs, union officials
will inevitably fill the smoke-choked
rooms to make deals and to play the
part Of party bosses.
II working people have real desire
to join in a political organization, they
should join either the Democratic or
Republican party or set up new one
and go ahead and run that party to
accomplish their political ideals. Such
a party would assume the responsibility
and limitations of a political party and
would be separate and distinct from
the labor movement.

American education faces its greatest
crisis Of the war as school gets under
way this fall
Fewer qualified teachers and fewer
children will be filling the classrooms.
Some educators fear that unless We
can get more and better-trained teach
ers into the Nations schools we may
have another lost generation" such as
followed World War I.
Better pay Is offered as one remedy
for the teacher problem
Reasoning with boys and girls that
they will get better and longer-lasting
jobs in the end If they go to school
now Is urged as q measure to hike
up declining enrolhnents.
Here's what DR.. Benjamin Frazier,
United States Once Of Education, told
me about the wars impact on the
teacher situation:
Through June, 1914, war emergency
certificates given teachers totaled more
than 76,30o, more than double the
number given last year. In normal
times these teachers would not be re-
garded as fully qualified.
In November last year 10000 teach
ing positions were still unified. Closed
classrooms In October Of last year num-
bered 7,700. Teacher turnover last year
doubled that of normal years, and
teachers' colleges lost IS per cent OF
their students in the past two years.
thus reducing heavily the number OF
qualified teachers How much worse
these problems will prove this year is
not known.
As for declining enrollments:
There has been = drop Of more than
3,50o,O00 in all schools, public and
private, from elementary on up through
college and university, since the be-
ginning Of the war. OF this number
not over $4,000 were due to falling
population.

SEEK PEACE BY CONTROLLED TRADE

Kingdom also signed, as q great con-
suner Of wheat. The agreement will 60
into effect soon after the war ends and
continue until . world agreement can
be reached. 1t provides that:
l. The four wheat-growing countries
will sell abroad only these agreed per-
centages Of the world trade in wheat
Argentina, IS; Australia, 10; Canada, 20,
and the United States 16. Under 1t If
American growers sell their share in the
first 10 months Of the year, the Gov
ernment can refuse to let them ship any
more until the next January /. On the
happy side, Of course, expensive Amer
lean wheat can't take big beating from
cheap wheat countries, because they
can't dump more than q certain amount.
Would Hit Overproduction.
II our farmers consistently raise too
much wheat, economists who were at the
Breton Woods Monetary Conference
said, the logical thing would be for them
to shift to beef, milk, eggs, supplies in
which the world is short, and there the
price is likely to stay more consistently
good.
At any rate, such agreements are like
" to cut the sort Of unintelligent over
production which has to be bolstered by
various forms Of Government subsidy.
2. The growing nations agree to keep
. certain maximum and minimum wheat

world shortage, but not enough to de.

nual conferences.

ment" Of 1910 Is of . different type, in
which we're on the other side Of the

The major problems confronting
American workers are problems which
affect our Nation. The problems Of the
workers are parallel TO- or even iden-
tical with, the best interests of our Ma
ton. Labor Is like . pumping station
which supplies the force to circulate
goods and services throughout the COM
munity. Capital supplies the equipment
and management directs the operations,
but labor provides the skill and power
to maintain the circulation. All Of us
have to work together because none Of
US can get along under our economic
system without the others.
balieve the average American wage
earnE wants to keep the basic institu-
to maintain our basic economic system
But he wants to improve that system
as rapidly as possible 50 that it will
better fulfill the purposes for which it
was created. believe We voice the real
desires Of the working people OF our
Nation when we seek to improve, not
to overthrow. our Nations economic
system and political institutions.
Too many people act as If American
labor is dumb OK They seem to think
workers will pull when they are told
to pull, stop when they are told to
stop, and eat when they are given
something to chew. Such people are
dangerously stupid. But they are no
more dangerous than the people who
would make labor unions a political
front and the agents OF their own
destruction.
ASitators Are Scored.
Those who seek to make labor unions
into the organizers OF the class struggle
are as dangerous as the native-born
Fascists. They provide our old enemies
with material to discredit the American
labor movement. Every political scheme
planned by those who pretend to speak
for labor Is black mark against us
In the eyes of decent people Our old
enemies welcome every blunder and
bluster by the agitators who wear q
labor union mask. I believe such agi-
tators are opposed, in the long run to
the best interests OF the American
people.
The organization of labor unions as 4
political front Is q crude attempt to
bundle up the labor vote for delivery
to the candidate who provides the best
quid pro quo. The attempt to organize
the members into a political organiza-
ton to support the candidates or party
designated by the self-appointed leaders
provides new, but not entirely novel
effort to make labor unions into DO
itical units. 1t is the most ambitious,
but not the first attempt to capture
the organized labor movement and to
subordinate its economic functions to
political efforts. It is the most am
bilious attempt ever made to get the
votes of organized workers and their
families on wholesale basis.
Although many of the leaders of the
present effort have had considerable

by cultivating the abilities of its people,
Is now rolling up a colossal deficit In
education. Hundreds of millions Of
man-hours Of learning are being lost
forever"
Reasons given by Government agencies
for children leaving high school are
temptations Of money, prestige, pa
triotism and q feeling of helping their
families and being in the war"
These additional factors are recoe-
nized by both the agencies and people
concerned with the welfare Of youth
everywhere:
1. Many youngsters are earning big
money-for them.
2. When high-paying jobs in war
plants begin to fall OH, the youngsters
who left school will find it harder to
get back in step with their classmates.
g. Many boys and girls are in Jobs
that do not contribute directly to the
war-or to the development Of the
young worker.
L. Many are working in violation Of
child labor laws.
War Manpower Commissioner Paul
v. McNutt says:
"The first responsibility and obligation
Of youth under 1s, even in wartime,
Is to take full advantage Of their edu-
cational opportunities in order to pre-
pare themselves for war and postwar
services and for the duties of citizen
ship.
In most cases, youth under 18 can
best contribute to the war program by
continuing in school and, when their
services are required, by accepting vaca-
ton and part-time employment"
The Once Of Education warns that
If . student misses his last year in
high school he misses precisely those
courses which the Army, Navy and ci-
villain industry ak students to complete
before reporting for service.
