COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

enormous factors in Hitler's defeat.
But Communist totalitarianism cannot
drive out the devils of Fascist total
itarianism because it has too many
of it's own.
"Hitler copies many Of Stalin's tech
niques; he made temporary alliance
with him, and victorious Russia per-
petuates on vast scale the same fore
ed labor which we so bitterly con-
demned in Germany. The struggle for
true freedom is yet to be won."
Thomas warns strongly that Ameri-
ca must avoid war with Russia but de-
clares that the task will be easier if
we face facts than if we Suppress or
| distort them. To avoid third world
| war, Thomas proposes that we set
America in order by ending unemploy-
ment at home and imperialism abroad;
that we feed Europe and help develop
democratic political reconstruction
of Europe; that we give Asia non-
imperialist peace; that we abandon
appeasement; and that the U. S. A.
and U. S. R. R. jointly renounce the
use of atomic energy for war, as well
as war itself.

Truman's 5-POint Program

Washington, D. ca summary OF
the specific recommendations made
to Congress by President Truman for
a national health program follow:
Recommendation 1. Construction OF
hospital and related facilities. Federal
aid should be provided for construc-
tion of hospitals, health centers and
other facilities where they are need
ed. These are essential if doctors are
to be able to furnish modern SER
vices.
Recommendation g. Expansion of
public health, maternal and child
health services. The existing coopera-
tive health program between the fed
eral and state governments should be
expanded with the help of increased
federal funds. All parts of the country
and all groups in the population should
be able to benefit from them. Expan-
sion is especially important to prevent
disease and to provide services for
mothers and children. Approximately
40 million persons in the United States
live in communities which still lack
full-time public health services.
Recommendation 3. Medical educa-
tion and research. We cannot remain
satisfied with what we already know
about health or disease The oppor-
tunities for further health progress
are very large. Research pays large
dividends. Professional education
should keep pace with progress. Fed
eral grants in aid should assist and
encourage research, so that we shall
learn more about how to prevent and
cure disease. Federal aid should also
support more adequate professional
education. Special emphasis should be
paid to research on the cause, preven-
tion and cure of cancer and mental
illnesses.
Recommendation a. Prepayment OF
medical costs. Everyone should have
ready access to all necessary medical
hospital and related jservicesI The
costs of essential medical services
should not stand in the way of the
patient who needs care.
A compulsory national health insur.
ance system is proposed toward at.
tanning this goal. 1t would be a sys.
TEN for prepayment of the cost
through premiums which people coule
afford, and which are paid while they
are well and working.
This is not socialized medicine.
Prepayment would relieve families
Of worry about medical costs ant
would encourage them to receive care
as soon as it is needed. Thus, it woule
also work toward preventing serious
disease.
Patients would remain free to choose
their doctors. Doctors would remair
free to accept or reject patients. Hospi
tails would continue to manage theil
own services. Voluntary organization.

"Russia-Promises and Perform
ances," new 48-page pamphlet by
Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, con-
tains an appraisal of present-day Rus
sia and it's revolution that is well
worth reading.
The pamphlet weighs the perform
ance of the Russian Revolution against
the promises of its leaders. AS Ber-
tram D. Wolfe, noted authority on
Russia, declares: norman Thomas
judges Russia not by it's present level
of attainment but by the direction in
which it is neutrality-suspicious. to-
wards greater freedom and equality

be useful to all Americans who want
to understand the Russia with which
we must deal in the shaping of the
postwar world"
Thomas pays his respect to writers
on Russia who ignore the question OF
it's use Of forced labor, saying enc
estimate of Russian achievement car
be trusted which omits discussion OF
forced labor just as no criticism OF
Russian achievement is fair which fails
to applaud Stalin's handling of the
racial problem

it, the failure to achieve freedom is
even more striking and tragic thar
the failure to achieve plenty"

consistent foe of Fascism. Russia's

AFL HELPS VETERANS

Early in 1945, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor launched country
wide program of assistance to return
ing veterans. The Labor League for
Human Rights joined in this important
endeavor.
This program began with the for
nation of veterans committees within
AFL central bodies. Primary duties
were to help veterans find satisfactory
employment and adjust themselves to
civilian life.
Today, many of these committees
maintain offices within labor head
quarters; others serve in advisory ca
pacities in centers sponsored by Com
munity Chests or municipal govern
ments. These AFL Labor League Com
mittees have now grown to maturity.
vi mulGlplG COuGdCtS Will iStuiHSSo Ids
given them background for substan-
tial assistance. They are serving with
great benefit to the veteran and with
outstanding credit to themselves.
The Labor League for Human
Rights has completed a survey of OBJ
servations by these committees en-
bracing 81 cities in % states. The sur
vey shows that the major need of mil
lions now receiving discharges is es-
sentially the same as the thin stream
of returnees several months ago:
Suitable jobs at satisfactory wages.
Happily, the survey specifically re-
veals that the committees have been
successful in placing thousands of vet
erans not previously members of
unions on jobs they desired. This fav-
orable situation has resulted because
of the liberal policies of most AFL
unions in extending full membership
rights to veterans without cost. To
the uninformed this might appear a
trivial gesture, but in most cases the
gratitious membership is a generous
presentation of union services.
The veterans who were union mem
bers before mobilization have had few
job worries upon returning home. Dur
ing their absence, AFL organizations
safeguarded seniority rights and paid
their dues, including in some cases,
accumulative mortuary benefits and
old-age pension rights.
Half of the 100000 members of
the armed forces have been demobil-
lied. This leaves huge numbers yet
to return. To help them select suit
able trade or occupation will be a
challenge each community cannot fail
to meet, and will require the coopera-
tion of all interested agencies.
The Labor League Veterans Com
mittees will shoulder a fair share of
responsibility in the task ahead-as
they have in the past-by pointing out
job opportunities within crafts affil-
lated with Central Labor Bodies, and
cooperation with veterans centers in
itiated by Community Chests and
municipalities.

November Is, 1945
To the Officers of National and
international Unions, State
Federations Of Labor, City Cen
tral Bodies and Federal Labor
Unions
Dear Sirs and Brothers:
A highly Objectionable anti-labor
bill was introduced into the Congress
of the United States by Congressman
Smith of Virginia. This proposed leg
islation is classified by our General
Counsel, Judge Padway, as "a most
wicked bill" He expressed this opin-
ion after he had made careful analy-
sis of the bill. This measure is known
as H. R. 1887 and is entitled ''To Re-
peal the War Labor Disputes Act and
to Provide Penalties for Stoppages of
Work and Breach of Contract" Our
General Counsel advises if this
measure is passed it would subject
labor unions to many unfounded and
unjust law suits.
Section of said Act pertains to
strikes or stoppages of work in vio-
lation of a so-called no strike provi-
sion. Should this section be violated
by a union penalty would be imposed,
that the union would lose its status
as bargaining agency for period
of one year and the union could be
sued and its treasury levied upon for
any damages court may find that
the employer or any other person has
suffered by virtue of the alleged
breach.
1t is reported that another effect of
Section is to virtually nullify the
provisions of the Norris-La Guardia
Act and brings back the doctrine of
conspiracy under which injunctions
were issued by anti-labor judges re-
straining unions from performing
their lawful functions.
Section 313 of the Act broadens the
present Corrupt Practices Act so as
to prohibit unions from engaging in
political activities or making political
contributions to convention committees
or candidates or in furtherance of the
candidacy of Federal officers.
These are some of the highly objec-
tionable features of the Act. The
membership of all unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La.
Dor must respond to this call which
am making for help and assistance
You must help us fight this vicious
anti-labor legislation. /, therefore, cal
upon you in most definite and direct
| way to communicate with your repre-.
sentatives in the House of Represent
atives and the United States Senate
calling upon them to oppose and de.
feat this legislation. Request and in
struct the individual members of your
unions to communicate with theil
members in Congress expressing def
mite opposition to this vicious anti
labor legislation and cali upon theil
members in Congress to oppose ane
vote against it. If the seven millior
members of the American Federation
Of Labor will write individual letters
to their representatives in Congress:
we can defeat this bill. Each and every
individual should do this in order thai
the members of Congress will know
that their constituents back home arr

ing them to vote against the enact
