German ORGANIZATION

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The
very movement that is most
staunchly anti-Nazi is receiving
very little encouragement from
American Military Government
authorities in Germany, charges
the AFL publication Labor s
Monthly Survey in its current
issue.
"Before Hitler" the AFL
statement points out, "the labor
movement was one of Germany S
strongest democratic forces. Hit
ler did all in his power to de-
stroy it. Today German union
lists can take leadership in re-
building democracy"
Despite the renewal of activ-
ity by German unionists, the
Survey goes on, "very often the
American Military Government
has refused to authorize union
organization or to heed the sug-
geStions of these union anti
Nazi committees This policy
has stifled the rebirth of dem
ocracy and prevented the elimi-
nation of Nazis."
Here is what the AFL pro-
poses be U. S. policy in encou-
raging growth of unions: Bona
fide union anti-Nazi committees
should be fully endorsed by the
occupation authorities so they
can function effectively. Union
funds, which were seized by the
Nazi labor front, should be re-
turned to the unions. Social in
surance funds should be restored
and the social security laws eff
fective before the Nazi regime
should again be put into opera
ton. A clear and fortnight di-
rective along these lines is ur-
gently needed"
