MANPOWER:
Buck Controls

Though the President made a
strong appeal for passage Of the
compromise manpower control bill,
under which plants would be limited
in the number Of persons they could
employ and workers and farmers
alike would be frozen to present
jobs, the measure encountered rough
going in the senate.
Despite the fact that the legisla-
ton fell short Of military leaders
demands for labor draft, the Presi-
dent said, its terms assured contin-
ued high production for the knockout
blow against Germany, and provid-
ed for keeping workers on the job
after the Nazis' fall.
Senator'S pointed up the great war
time production record Of the U. S.
in opposing legislation Tightening
control over both employers and en-
ployees, and O'Mahoney (Wyo.) hit
arguments that passage Of the bill
would convince G.I.s that the home
front was behind them. Rather, he
said, defeat Of the measure would
assure them Of retention at home of
the freedoms for which they are
fighting.

DECENTRALIZATION:
Small Scale

Though some combat troops in
the European theater of war will be
demobilized after Germany's fall, all
service, air force and naval person
mel will be retained to continue the
fight against the Japanese, officials
indicated.
Demobilization Of some combat
troops will result from inability to
make full use Of them in the Pacific
for geographic reasons, it was said,
but the exact extent of release will
depend upon conditions in Europe.
All members of the service branches
will be needed for the construction
of staging areas and bases in the
Pacific, and the air force intends to
bring it's full weight to bear against
the Japanese.
Because all approaches to the Pa
cific theater Of war are over water,
and because ships will have to bear
the bulk Of supplies, all naval per-
sonnel will be required to bring
about the Japanese's fall as quickly
as possible, Fleet Admiral King de-

do not understand all this. I do
not accept the propaganda which
tries to say that communist govern
ment is democracy. But there is
one thing which sold me on playing
ball with Russia. That is the pa
tient, earnest and convincing argu-
ment of former Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, who certainly has no
more love for communism than he
has for fascism, who was never ac-
cused Of wandering with his head
in the clouds or of trying to reform
the world, or square the circle, and
although he has faith a-plenty he
wouldn't try to move mountain
without bulldozer.
His argument boils down to this:
Russia and America need each 9TH
er. Russia knows this. There are
fewer obstacles to a practical un-
derstanding between the countries
than there are reasons why we
should work together for mutual
benefit.

TARIFF:
Fight Reneived

Calling for authority to slash tar
ifs so per cent under January, 1945,
levels in an extension of the recipro-
cal trade agreements act for three
years, President Roosevelt touched
off a renewal of the historic tariff
fight in congress.
While the President said that
further tariff cuts would offer
other countries the opportunity
to obtain funds for purchases
here, the Republicans argued
that a flow Of cheap goods into
this country would threaten
American producers. And while
the President declared that in
creased imports would add to
employment In the processing
and distributing businesses here,
the Republicans predicted the
program would defeat the an
nounced goal Of $4,000, 600 post
war jobs.
Passage Of the Presidents propos-
ais would allow as much as a rs per
cent tariff reduction under the
Smoot- -Hawley rates of 1880 on some
items, 1t was pointed out. Under
the original reciprocal trade act Of
1894, reductions Of SO per cent were
permitted, and since these cuts al.
ready have been made on some
items, another so per cent decrease
would amount to 75 per cent in all.

RATIONINC:
Smaller Supplies

Already warned Of IL per cent
reduction in meat for the next three
months, civilians took the first big
hitch in their belts for the current
quarter with the announcement of an
increase in the point values Of pork,
sausages and canned meat products.
While news of the Tightening Of
these and other controls over fats
and oils occupied the home front, 1t
was announced that all babies
leather shoes would be rationed
after April.
In raising the point values on
pork, sausages and canned meat
products, OPA said that there would
be 5 per cent less meat available
during April, but the decrease in
supplies would hit civilians harder
in May and June. Coincident with
the new controls over the aforemen-
toned meats, 1t was announced that
point values also would be boosted
on lard, along with shortening, mar
garine, and salad and cooking oils.
Hit Shortages
Discussing the meat shortage,
the national livestock committee
of the American Farm bureau
charged that low price ceilings re-
tarded increased production of beef,
and said assurances of minimum re-
turns would lead to greater pork out
put.
The committees report came even
as congress conducted hearings on
the tight meat situation, with rep
resentatives Of all branches Of the
industry calling for an upward re-
vision in ceiling prices.
In establishing ceilings on grade
AA and A beef, the committee said,
OPA assumed that the last 200 or 300
pounds steer gained in the feed
lot was mostly fat later wasted in
the kitchen. On the other hand, the
committee declared, fat Of a steer
is distributed through its meat.
Speaking Of pork, the committee
stated that farmers cut hog produc-
ton at the governments request, and
would raise it again if guarantees
were forwarded against market
breaks.

Of disputes and continuance of pro-

a special arbitration board ap-
peared likely.
In reaching the agreement, the
parties tended to relieve manage

left-wing movement after the war,
and labor's apprehension that COM

LAND REFORM a...s
Significant changes are taking
place in land tenure Of eastern Eu-
rope, according to the Alexander
Hamilton institute. In Poland, Ro-
mania and Hungary, the big estates
are being broken UP and the land
divided among the peasantry. This
development is likely to lead to low
er production and declines in ex-
ports.
Reduction in outputs is partly due
to the fact that cultivation on small

Though it is generally agreed that
the support Of the American people
Of any International organization of
which Russia Is a part depends on
the conduct of the Kremlin between
now and the end of the San Fran

berg goes farther than that. He says
that the support of the necessary

ate for any organization which rec
ognizes international organization
depends upon inserting into the
document which defines it, what he
calls an escape clause" That es-
cape clause would permit the re-

existing, certain sore spots which he
feels may become cancers. The es-
cape clause would permit the Unit
ed Nations to escape from any re-
striction which prevented what they
feel is the righting Of wrongs.

This is true, the commission points
out, despite the fact that there has

says, "that for each class of per-

ance in their spectacular dash to-
wards Berlin. The British End army,
pounding across the north German
plain, had steadily drawn closer and
closer to the 1st army. Ruhr valley
war production centers had been eff
fectively sealed off.
Typical Of the magnitude OF the
American forces was the one-day
bag of $4,000 Nazi prisoners taken
by General Patton's 3rd army in its
sensational drive eastward.
City after city had fallen into Al
lied hands under Eisenhower steam
roller. Among the rich prizes were
Frankfurt on the Main (546,-
O00), ranking ninth in the German
Reich, Mannheim (283, ,000) which
fell to Lieutenant General Patch's
9Th army, and Essen which led all
Europe in the production Of NUM-
tions.
Clearly the final doom of Nazi pow
er was sounding. Prime Minister
Churchill of Great Britain declared
he believed the ''hour Of success"
was at hand. Still some military
authorities pointed out that a final
Nazi stand might be made in noun
famous southern Germany but
dressed by defenses in northern Italy
and the industrial resources Of
Czechoslovakia.
Spring rains and fog had kept the
italian front quiet, but observers
had expected Gen. Mark Clark's

AFL Top Leaders Back United Welfare Drive

Top leadership of the AFL, Pres ident William Green, Second Vice President Matthew Woll, who is also President of the Labor League for Human Rights, and George Meany, Secretary Treasurer, have given unreserved endorsement to the joint drive of the National War Fund and the local COMMUNITY CHESTS!
 The most terrifying period of destruction in the history of the world has ended. The relief and reconstruction tasks ahead stagger the imagination. In Europe and Asia millions of displaced and starving people are discouraged and restless-a threat to the new peace. In America, the sudden change-over from war to peace is overlooking our home front social agencies.
 The A. F. of LIS League for Ha- man Rights, foreseeing this crisis at the wars end, has completed preparations for a mighty effort in behalf of the National War Fund and local Community Chests ;n more than 900 communities. These agencies, in the opinion of the A. F. of L., are best fitted to distribute the generous giving of it's mem- bers throughout the world
 The immensity of the American Federation of Labor'S plans to as- sist War Fund campaigns is seen in the endorsement of 107 interna- tional unions, hundreds of city cen tral bodies and 35,000 local unions embracing more than 100000 members.
 It has been pointed out that if we let the war-devastated areas go hungry and cold this winter, we may lose some of the foundations of order On which the hope for world peace must rest. With this though, the A. F. of L. unquali- fedly Subscribes to the slogan, Be Generous in Victory!'
