Of hedge selling against more

Trade buying and short covering

ATOMIC ENERGY PUBLIC UTILITY

In his statement announcing the first atomic bomb dropped on
Japan, President Truman included one sentence which should meet
immediate public approval:
i shall recommend that the Congress of the United States con-
slider promptly the establishment of a appropriate commission to con-
70 the production and Sc of atomic power within the United States"
Years of research lie ahead before the mysteries of atomic energy
-no mastered only for purpose of destroying an enemy-can be con-
toHed o the arts of peace. But the scientific ingenuity which pro-
ouced a bomb al also produce instrumentaHtes for the constructive
Use OF humankind. 1t is clearly essential to the general welfare that
American production of atomic power, after the war, be completely
controlled for the people.
The processes for releasing atomic energy will not be disclosed,
MT. Truman says, pending study of methods to protect us and the rest
u He world from danger. But we could probably not keep them to
ourselves indefinitely if we wished to do SO. German scientiest have
knocked at n door of the unseen world which has now been opened
IN America, and re may be sure that Russian science-msurpassed in
many telds-ls not far behind. The physicists, chemists and mathe-
matcans o many natonalihes contributed to the research.
So far IS this country is concerned, there can be no question of
private ownership and exploitation of the peaceime production of
atom power. The potentialties re 20 enormous that the public in
terest n their development and control is overriding. An appropriate
commission" established by Congress to supervise and stimulate fur
uer care n lay down policies for exploiting the new type of
power would 1t as what it is-a natural public utility, a part
OF the public domain-The Chicago Sun.

THE AMERICAN SWELLED HEAD

America is going to come out of this war with a sweled head,
at least in some respects. We have had occasion to produce war mate
rial unhampered by air raids, to draw upon unlimited natural resour-
ces. What shortages there have been, we have overcome with a flourish
thru u superior research. We have broken world records left and
right, our fighting men have been superior, our standards of living are
superior, our shores have been impenetrable, or spirit has been IN
supremacy contested only by Russia.
So w are told, and we tend to take it seriously. We have for a
long time had a World-record complex anyway. Any record from Pump
kinville to New York has unquestionably been a worlds record with
out further research. Tho we are awakening to the responsibilities of
world citizenship, it does not cover up our feeling of superiority.
We cannot effect the intent of the World Charter if we let our
sweled head get the best of us. We must allow the ingenuity and
human qualities of other peoples to rank on a par with ours if we are
to succeed in keeping peace. We must remember that an American of
fuenced by surrounding. The cloth is the same, tho the climate may
be different We must consider whether the homesick CT who writes
that there is nothing like the good OF USA wouldn't speak more highly
of those other countries if he wasn't in mud and terror up to his waist
and If the ordinary facilities of living weren't all blown to smihereens
and if he knew the people we'll enough to tell that it was their human
qualities that count and not their tattered clothing-and if he wasn't
so very lonely.
The high-handed conduct of our military government in Germany
compared to the sensible tactics of the practical Russians illustrates our.
American way of life is sorely punctuated by indifference and lethargy
in democratic participation. It's the overconfident athlete who stops.

Britain Turns Left (?)

The overwhelming victory of British Labories in the recent cleo
ons IN britain have stirred tremendous newspaper comment in Amer
lea, and rightly so, for England is our friend.
Two views are predominant in the newspaper comment-one that
the British government is turning lefhst - secondly that the British
voters have repudiated their wal Churchill.
With both of these views, w disagree.
Churchill has been retired to a status of a member of parliament
but the overwhelming victory of Laborites in Britain is not a repu-
dlatlon OF Churchill so much Is a reaching toward another goal-that
of al orderly return to peace under the direction of the men who will
be most commemorative laboring class.
Churchill has been a great leader, but with his greatness he has
never for a moment forgotten that he is of the arstocracy and not
of common clay. The people of England wanted a common clay leader,
one more down to earth, of their own class and their own thinking.
That the British labor party is leftst or even communistic is pure
unadulterated bosh. The head of the British labor cabinet is a laborite.
a graduate of Engands greatest school of learning-Oxford Univer-
sy. The director of the Labor party in England is a Professor of the
University of London-but these men have the common touch-the
appeal. in a way-to the British, as u president has of the
common people here in America. u.s.
Clement Attee, new prime minister, will shy from the commjn
will listen to the commoner with a more sympathetic ear and will
therefore achieve more content among the common people than could

' Attee is n o Marxist socaist-rather he is one who is inclined
to the Golden Rule of what ye would have others do unto you, do vet
INTO then" Certainly the people of any nation could ask no more of
any leader, whether he be liberal, conservative, or labor. - @
Capitalism may not fare so well under Athee, but the people in
the street will not suffer thereby, and from among Attlees first pro
nouncements w take great heart, for the new prime minister has
warned the monarchies of Europe that their crowned heads must topp1e

Our own State Department., with its vacilation, might we'll hear

rights and liberties which we have-The Progressive Miner.

Labor is in Politics =
IT Will Stay There

Some of our radio commentators and columnists say that they love
labor, but they think the unions should get out of politics and stay out
Little they know that the unions would like to do just that, but dare
not do so.
Organized labor is in politics because it was forced in, not because
against certain public officials.
1t was only a few years ago, when the unions were weak, that
politicians spoke kindly of them. But the unions became strong. In
some states, under good leadership, the unions and the employers
quickly learned that they had a great community of interest and
found how to work together for the common good. In other states, par
tculary in the South, the big employers preferred to fight
AS labor developed, a S it grew strong, its economic power in
creased. 1t was then that the enemies of labor, unable to defeat the
organized working people in the economic field, took to politics, elected
throwing a barrage of VICIOUS laws at the workers. They forced the
unions to fight back in the political arena, in selfdefense.
European labor unions, before the war, were primarily political
N revolutionary. American labor, on the contrary, was non-poitical
and certainly had no revolutionary ideas.
Today w e are in politics, probably to stay, because that is where
we have to do u fighting. So the columnists and the radio babbhrs

REJOICE AT DEFEAT
OF WINSTON CHURCHILL

The elimination of Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of Great
Britain, IS an international leader was accepted by the working people
of the world with satisfaction and considerable citation.
Mr.. Churchill succeeded Mr.. Chamberlain, neither of whom typi-
fled the aspirations, desires r the tribulatons of the common people
Of England o anywhere else. Both of these gentlemen typnied the
1aiSsez faire philosophy of the 18th century. 1t remains one of Rudyard
Kiplngs only a bone and a hank of hair" and they couldn't and
they wouldn't understand. BY the actions of MIR. Churchill it seems
at least that the liberal, social, economic and political trend that is so
obvious to everybody else "a unseen and unknown by him.
WINSTON Churchill was an, aristocrat and a tyrant by nature and
training. 1t a almost be said that the rise of Mr.. Churchill to the
pinnacle of emnence was occasoned by the policies pursued by the
vote of the English people and accession to power of the Labor Party
astounded the world almost as much as the Russian Revolution of
l917 and its effects will be felt and noticed in every country in the
world. Even America with its blatant expressions of democracy is
feeling the impact o a changing world. The defeat of Churchill must
be considered a victory for humanity. 1t is regrettable that his con-
sttueney reelected him to the House of Commons-The Montana

when we came across Germany it
was apparent that all the farm

despite the war and the fact that
all available German manpoWer
was in the army. Even though the
factory workers were paid a mark

forced to work just for their keep,
had a little better living, at least
by having a bit more to eat.
in the cities one noticed that
TIE nicer-looking Russian and Po-

and from them I generally learned
where the "1ogars" were located.
If it vas very far, l would pick up
a couple of bicycles, which could
be had for the asking, and have a
Russian to show me the way - to
see for myself how the m%istreated,
poor, unfortunate people were ex-
listing.
Almost always, after taking a
town, we would find plenty to
drink in the cellars of the homes
that were not completely demo-
lished. My father-in-law used to
tell of a wine they drank some
where on the Italian coast which
was SO strong that while padding
their bicycles back home on a hot
day, their perspiration came out
red, and stained their shirts. Well.
some of the wine we had was
equally as potent, and the wine the
Russians offered me to drink no
doubt burned the insides red. How
they could drink it and still live
was beyond me. Coming across the
country we drank the worse and
the best of the French and German
W~ine-cellars, for we must have
raided hundreds of them, but the
strongest of all was the stuff the
Russians drink. However, hun
dreds of c.. rs died or were blind
ed by the raw vile stuff the boot
leggers sold them at sky-high
prices. Some of the German wine
cellars were three stories under
ground. In one town our kitchen
was set up in a building right
above a Well-stocked, aged wine
cellar -. and that helped us ire

Jagged nerves, and we could laugh
a little at this damnable hell we
were going through. In southern

PLEA FOR
TAX-BURDENED POOR

There has been a good deal of
talk about the effect of the %tax
adjustment" bill passed by Con-
grses a few days ago. Some com
mentators seek to dispose of it as
"just a bookkeeping transaction"
The Wall Street Journal says
the bill is worth five billion dol
lars to business" In this instance,
we think the 'Journal' may be &C
copied as an authority. Other OBJ
servers believe business will bene-
fit to the extent of seven billions.
Whatever the exact figure may
be, it is SO large that LABOR feels
it is justified in again calling at
tention to the plight of the worker
who is unfortunate enough to be
IN the loWer-Wage brackets.
The minority report of the Ways
and Means Committee insists that
we have in this country, at this
hour, Fl, 00O,0 90 persons whose in
comes are less than $1,000 a year.
and yet they pay $500, OOO, 900 in
taxes every year to local, state and
Federal governments. That's
"blood money"
Furthermore, there are "a, OOO,-
600 persons with incomes between
$1,000 and $4,000, and each year
they pay ''in excess" of 81, OOO.-
100000 in taxes to local, state and
Federal governments. Needless to
say, among these are millions of
men and women with families to
support. Will anyone seriously
