Speaking at the Kiwanis club
Tuesday noon, Charles Knapp,
secretary of the Pasco-Kennewick
Central Labor Council, made a
strong plea for a better under
standing between labor and man
agement.
Labor has just come through
like the rest Of us, the trying per-
iod of the war years. While there
were some abuses, on the whole
they did a magnificent job. For
it was the toll of millions of la
borers, skilled and unskilled, that

rubber business in Akron, Ohio, in 1870,
the beginning was not suspicious. He
turned out modest amount of rubber rolls
for clothes wringers, some beverage tub

States the aggregate consumption of rub
Der then amounted to only 1000 tons
year. It was not until 1896 that the first
pneumatic tires for the first automobile
sold in America were produced by The
B. F. Goodrich Company which, just be-
fore World War II, was manufacturing
more than 10000 different rubber articles
in 1000 distinct lines, mammoth enter
prise selling its products in great amounts

ternationally famous, is among the inn

BIG FIVE SEEN
AFTER WAR TALKS

WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-CUP)
The conference of all United Ma
tons to prepare a charter Tor a
world security organization will
be held in San Francisco, begin
ming April Is.
This was revealed today in the
announcement of the Big Three
conference in the Crimea. The an
nouncement said agreement had
been reached among the Big Three
on the question of voting pro-
cedure, which was unsettled at the
Dumbarton Oaks meeting here last
year.
President Roosevelt, Prime Min
lister Churchill and Premier Stain
announced that China and France
would be invited to join the Big
Three in issuing invitations to the
meeting.
This was regarded as an indica-
ton that for the purposes of post
war international security the Big
Three would become the Big Five.
1--WE are resolved upon the earl
lest possible establishment with
our Allies OF a general organization
to maintain peace and security, "
the joint Big Three statement said.
I'VE believe that this is essential,
both to prevent aggression and to
remove the political, economic and
social causes of war through the
close and continuing collaboration
OF all peace-loving peoples"

The White House said it did not

should be formed on the basis OF
that agreement.
We also recommend that as soon
as the new government has been
formed it should declare that:
ID The anti-F ascist Assembly OF
National Liberation (AvnoO
should be extended to include
members of the last Yugoslav
Parliament (Skupschina) who have
not compromised themselves by
collaboration with the enemy, thus
forming body to be known as a
temporary parliament; and,
CD Legislative acts passed by
the anti-Fascist Assembly of Ma
tional Liberation will be subject
to subsequent ratification by con-
stituent assembly.
There was also general review
of other Balkan questions.
MEETINGS OF FOREIGN SEC
RETARIES
Throughout the conference, be-
sides the daily meetings of the
heads of governments and the for
eign secretaries, separate meetings
of the three foreign secretaries,
and their advisors have also been
held daily.
These meetings have proved OF
the utmost value and the confer.
ence agreed that permanent ma
chinery should be set up for reg.
ular consultation between the three
foreign secretaries. They WILL
therefore, meet as often as may be
necessary, probably about every
three Or four months. These meet
ings will be held in rotation in the
three capitals, the first meeting
being held in London, after the Uni
ted Nations conference on World
Organization.
UNITY FOR PEACE AS FOR WAR
Our meeting here in the Crimea
has reaffirmed our common deter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.- tR =
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill made night
flight from the war battered island
of Malta in the Mediterranean to
their historic conference with Mar
shall Stain.
The White House, in disclosing
late today some of the details of
the Big Three meeting not covered
in the official communicate, also
revealed that Edward ]. Flynn,
New York Democratic leader, was
guest of Mr.. Roosevelt at the
meeting but took no part in the
prived of them by the aggressor
nations.
The three governments, which
will be four if France consents to
join them, agreed through Roose-
welt, Churchill and Stain, that they

sentatives of all democratic ele-
ments" and "a facilitate the hold
ing of elections.
The bluntest statements of the
entire C o m m unique concerned
Germany. There had been much
speculation that the Big Three
might promise the German people
some future conditions which would
in effect constitute an appeal to
them to end the war But there was
no such promise: Only a warning
that the longer the surrender is
delayed, the worse will be the Ger
mans plight.
1T is not our purpose to de-
stroy the people of Germany, but
only when Nazism and militarism
have been eXtirpated will there
be hope for a decent life for Ger
mans, and place for them in the
comfy of nations"
After outlining half a dozen spe-
cific measures to break up Naz,sm
and German militarism, the Big
Three reserved the general and
unspecific right to take in har-
mony such other measures in Ger
many as may be necessary to the
future peace and safety of the
world"
There was no specific definition
of the compensation to be demand
ed of Germany but it appeared that
many demands previously made by
the Allies and particularly Russia
probably will contribute to the de.
cisions of the proposed Preparations
commission.
These include the right to use
millions of German Nazis to help
rebuild Russia and the right to
draw heavily on the resources Of
German industry for help in re-
building the areas which Hitler's
hordes overran. There is no doubt
also that Germany will lose some
territory. certainly enough of her
eastern areas such as East Prus-
STA and most all Of Silesia to COM
pensate Poland for the loss of ter
ritory to Russia.
On this latter point, Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stain expressed
agreement in principle but said
they feel that the opinion of the
new Polish provisional government
of national unity should be sought
in due course on the extent of these
accessions and that the final de-
limitation of the western frontier
of Poland should thereafter await
the peace conference
This, incidentally, was the only
hint in the lengthy document that
the Big Three had discussed and
evidently tentatively agreed upon
the need for a general peace con-
ference to liquidate the boundary
and other problems of this war.

1t appeared that on many issues
each of the leaders had scored a
point. The Polish settlement gives
Stain the boundary he had in
sisted on all along-the Curzon-
and appears to give a position OF
primary importance to the Soviet
supported provisional government
of Poland, in conflict with the ex-
lied government at London recog-
nized by Britain and the United
States. Moreover Roosevelt and
Churchill said that when the pres
ent provisional government is re-
organized into a national unity
regime they will establish diplo-
matte relations with it.
But it was stated that this ma
tional unity regime shall be
pledged to the holding of free and
unfettered elections as soon as pos
sible on the basis of universal SUI
frage and secret ballot and that
"all democratic and anti-Nazl
parties shall have the right to
take part and to put forward candl-
dates"
This insistence on the right OF
people to vote regardless OF polltl'
cal utilization so long as it is not
pro-Nazi, was threaded through the
oor,ro,,nio,1e and evidently repre-
sented point for Roosevelt VINO
went to the conference primarily
to seek agreement on practical ap-
plication of such Atlantic Charter
