BILLS PUSHED TO GIVE

Washington. ID. c. (ILNS).-Bills to

Of India and F'ilipinos are being
pushed in Congress following the re
peal last December of the Chinese ex-
clusiOn act. The bills are backed by
the American Civil Liberties Union
and other agencies. They face consid-
cradle opposition chiefly on the ground
that no such persuasive argument of
wartime morale as i'm the case Of
China justifies including India and the
Philippines.
Advocates Of the legislation say
that both the Philippines and India
are members of the United Nations
and that the passage of the bills would
have "A profound effect ION general

Communists FoiIed In Plot TO Block
Anfonini Effort For IfoIion Labor

Labor Organizations To the surprise
of the AF'L, Citrine opposed a reso-
luton by Robert j. Watt, American
workers. delegate, favoring revival of
free trade unions in Germany after
the defeat of the Nazis.
Since then Citrine has been either
overruled by his own organization or
has experienced a change of heart
Evidence of this comes from a recent
declaration by the International Fed
GRAFTON of Trade Unions, headed by
Citrine, which said
"The reconstruction of the trade
union organizations and the restora-
ton of trade union rights in all coun-
tries is one of the first steps toward
human liberties and democratic in
stitutions This is one of the earlier
and safest measures to be taken in all

Jobs And
Breton Woods

Much has been said about the re-
suits of the United Nations Monetary
Conference at Breton Woods-the S.S
billion dollar world stabilization fund
and the 81 billion dollar world recon-
struction bank. But what does it mean
to the average American.
TO him it may well mean the differ
or keeping his job as Il skilled worker
in Il factory. No nation is really inter-
ested in borrowing money. What it
wants are goods, particularly ma
chimes, rOad-building equipment, cleo
trio power installations, etc. If we can
sell such goods, there will jobs. If not,
there will be closed factories.
The bank (Alembers actually pay in
but 20H of their quotas so that the
u. s. will pay only 635 million dollars
of its pledge of 3,175 million dollars
and only 1870 of that in gold y will
use 500 of its 81 billion dollar capital
to guarantee loans which will be made
through the regular investment chan
nels The remaining 209o are available
for direct loans. Thus other nations
will have purchasing power to keep
American workers employed. High L.
5. employment means more jobs at
home and more imports because we
shall have better homes, drink more
coffee, eat more bananas and use more
tin. That will give foreigners funds to
retire their loans.
The stabiliZation fund will take care
of temporary shortage of foreign eX-
change. Say, France needs dollars to
pay for American goods Money to
keep American workers employed y.
She can borrow them temporarily from
the fund in exchange for francs. Thus
O she can keep up imports; GU
American workers continue on their
jobs; CD countries won't be tempted
to tinker with their currencies and
bring about the same sort of economic
warfare that caused so much trouble
in the 193Os.
Thus fund and bank spell jobs and
increased economic security for Ameri
can workers. But they also aid in
building Il more stable and hence
peaceful world. Besides they mean
working and consulting teams of 10
nations to anticipate economic troubles
and guard against them.

it is impossible to use men to- the best
advantage, as there are not enough
jobs in the military services in certain
callngs to 90 around but it is hard TO
avoid the conclusion that the "brass
hats have fallen down hard on the
matter of the best utilization of man
power.
Committee Cites Examples
Astonishing examples of the failure
of the Army and Navy to use the
experience of highly trained men were
uncovered by the Truman committee.
An engineer who helped develop deli
cate electronic equipment was trained
as Il radio operator; a chemical en-
gineer engaged in research in synthetic
rubber was made Il company clerk; a
foreman of inspection in large air
craft plant was trained as Il ski
trooper. These and hundreds of other
cases like them of misfitting by the
services were revealed.
The committee launched the survey
several months ago. Chief Counsel
Hugh Fulton wrote 100 of the most
important war plants, asking each firm
to furnish the names, experience and
Importance to their company of the 10
most valuable men lost to the armed
services. Then, letters were dispatched
to the thousand men, inquiring what
each was doing and whether they
thought their present contribution was
of more importance to the war effort
than their old job in war industry.
War Production Slowed
From the hundreds of letters re-
say that the skills of vast ma aiority
of the men are not being used by the
Army and Navy.
In numerous cases, the drafting of
the highly skilled workers undoubtedly
slowed war production and affected
the efficiency of the plant involved.
A few examples of the committees
findings follow:
An aeronautical engineer with 8
years tooling and production expert
ence wrote he was in the Army "onion

cleaning latrines. Utilization zero
