ILLiTERACY IN THE
UNITED STATES

The adoption by the government
of India of compulsory education
for all children between six and
fourteen marks a momentous step
ahead for that country.
1t might not be amiss in this
connection to recall the amount of
illiteracy that still persists in such
advanced countries as the United
States, for instance. According to
the report of a subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Educatio-.
and Labor, made in 1889 there are
in the United States approximately
3,600,000 totally illiterate persons,
and Is million adults who cannot
read a newspaper or write a simple
letter. In one State Is percent of
the population is illiterate.
Nearly a million children of ele-
mentary school age in this country
are not enrolled in school at all,
mainly because of the lack of faci-
lities in impoverished and isolated
rural areas. For these children,
freedom and opportunity have
proved to be freedom and oppor-
tunity to grow up in ignorance, the
report remarks.

ATLANTIC CHARTER
is NOW MORE
VALID THAN EVER

Last week President Roosevelt
made two statements regarding the
Atlantic Charter. In the first state
ment he shocked the world by let
ting it know that the Atlantic
Charter was never signed by any
one of the United Nations and that
it didn't even exist as a legal docu-
ment. In the second statement,
which we are led to believe was
prompted by the numerous in
quiries and protests he must have
received, he assured the American
people and the peoples of the rest
of the world that the principles
enunciated in the Atlantic Charter
are valid and just as valid as are
the ten commandments.
We enthusiastically accept and
approve the second statement Of
the President. Whether or not the
United Nations signed the now his
torically famous document drafted
on the Atlantic in August l941, the
principles therein ~enunciated are
still cherished by the great major
ity of the people in every land
who are longing for the end of war
and for a lasting peace with secur-
ity, and the aims of the United
Nations in this war cannot be other
than those embodied in said docu-
ment known as the Atlantic
Charter, and that any nation or
group of nations trying to disre-
gard those aims or violate them,
will have to answer before the
conscience of civilization. La
Parola.

In the light of these facts, it is
not surprising that our armed
forces have rejected almost a quor-
ter of a million young men be-
cause of educational deficiencies.
A Selective Service Bulletin point
ed out last Summer that educa-
tional deficiency had deprived our
armed forces of more physically
fit men than operations of the
enemy.
These data emphasize the i'm
portance to this nation cas- a whole
of insuring that every American
citizen has opportunity for a
reasonable minimum of educa-
tion," the statement said.
We Americans are inclined to
look upon India as a sort of ''back-
ward" nation; now, it seems, lndla
has turned the tables on us-at
least in the important matter OF
giving all children equal educa-
tional opportunities.

Why do our political leaders
murmur darkly when France and
Russia write a two-party pact?
Why do the statesmen of Britain
and America split on the diplomat
ic front about policies in Italy and
Greece even while the two nations
are united against a common foe
on the military front?
What does it mean when the
Wners of America, through the
agency of the National Association
of Manufacturers, are planning to
swing the nation into an accept
ance of their way of life after the
war ends?
Hitler and Hirohito have moth
ing to do with those problems,
which viii remain after both
rulers have passed from the scene.
Here are some of the questions
which the common people will
have to ask of their w native
rulers. And they'd better be ask
ing them now.
Capitalism will be faced with
the same compulsions after this
war as before. 1t will have to ex-
pand or die.
f But what if the rulers of the
victorious nations decide that cap
italism can no longer expand at
the expense Of each other? What
if they do divide the world into
economic portions = abandon free
competition but still maintain the
profit motive?
Then the workers within each
nation will have to be controlled
as never before. Then the pattern
of fascism which now is being
justified as a war expedient will
have to be frozen as the permar-
ent way of life. Then a new set Of
fuchrers by a super class can pos
sibly by the way of life. Then it
will be increasingly clear that
while alien enemies come and go,
the exp1oiter on the home must
still be reckoned with.

The Bankruptcy Of British
Policy in Greece

At the moment when Allied armies in the West n locked in de-
ceSive battle with the enemy, Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Eden have flown
to Athens. This dramatic and surprising move, whatever its consequen-
ces for the Greek people, clearly gives the lie to the opinion, still
"rufians" "gangsters," and Communists. The inadequacy of the
British position became patent when the right-Wing E. D E. S, long
recognized by Britain as the authentic Greek resistance movement and
abundantly supplied with gold sovereigns and tommy guns, utterly
collapsed in Epirus before the E. [. A. S. forces. Now the E. A. M and
its fighting branch, E. L. A. S, emerge as the only resistance move
ment in Greece and the actual masters of the country, for General
Attca. Faced with the total bankruptcy of British policy in Greece
and with the bitter opposition of a large proportion of the British public
Mr.. Churchill is obviously trying to salvage what he may. The Central
E. L. AS Committee was invited to send delegates to take part in a
meeting of political groups, over which Archbishop Damaskinos, who
has n status in the puppet government, rather than Premier Papan-
dreou, was asked to preside. The E. A. M. has won a great victory, and
it may be hoped the political lesson of Greece will affect Allied policy
in other liberated areas-The Nation.

THAT EXODUS" FROM WAR INDUSTRIES

American wage-earners re being done a grave injustice by scare
headlines about the exodus of workers from war plants to secure
picture in the public mind, and in the minds of soldiers. and sailors,
that shortages are now occurring because workers are falling over each
other. in their flight from war jobs. The facts do not bear out these
accusations.
why these shortages in heavy artillery and heavy ammunition,
in radar, ships, dry cell batteries, cotton duck, forge and foundry pro-
ducE?" asks Paul McNutt THE labor-haters shout their classical ans
people"
Confusion in the minds of Americans, civilians and soldiers, could
set the stage for a post war tragedy, could lead to strife between vet
Grams and workers. Public officials and newspapers should be e-.
tremely careful to avoid confusion, to stick to the facts.
Shortages in war materials are a serious matter. They must be
made up. But in looking for the causes, all the available facts must
be analysed coolly. The CO has asked the officials to supply it with
the names of plants where labor shortages are crucial On the basis of
this information, local unions arr being notified and every effort
made to recruit labor and utilize. it properly In the past, production
delays said by employers to be due to manpower shortages have often
been found on examination to have other causes-CIO.
Proletarec. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1906-19??, 1945-01-10

One of the many bad things
about any war is that in time of
war people look too much at the
enemy and too little at themselves.
Objective analysis is not popular
in war times. What is popular and
what is done by most people is to
agree that we are ALL right and
that the enemy is ALL wrong and
that a victory for our side will be
ALL to the good while a victory
for the enemy would be ALL to
the bad. And so, having pegged
their thinking to those premises,
further thought is unnecessary.
Most Americans are now con-
scious that they didn't get what
they expected out of World War l..
But already it is becoming appa-
rent that out of the present war
there are developing things quite
different than what the people
were encouraged to think about
when the war was being launched.
And when the war is finally
won it will become apparent to
most people-in time-that what
they need fear and watch is the
class within their own nations
which propose to continue the
game of exploiting human labor
for private profit.
While workers may and do make
common cause with their own
native exploiters during the fight
ing of a war, those eXploiters will
loom as the enemy when the war
ends.
A vanquished Hitler and a crush
ed Hirohito won't be important
then; whatever course the world
may take after this war will not
be the result of their decision any
more than the late Kaiser a be
blamed for the fact that after
World War / humanity mmediat-
ely was directed along the road
that lead to World War II.
1t was the victors who drew the
maps and dictated the policies. 1t
was OUR policymakers who got
us into the present mess. And
again it will be the victor nations
that will have to accept respons-
Utility for the kind of world that
lies ahead.
Because that responsibility can
not be evaded, it is deadly import
ant that the American people
should keep a sharp eye upon what
is happening here at home and
within the nations with whom our
nation is allied.
Why has the State Department
been filled with men whose in
terests are those of the owning
class?
