Men Of Good Will" Can Do This Thinq!
proposal to Promote Peaceful Relations Between Labo
And Capital Is Not Fantastic; Would Benefit All Classe

Probably when Thomas Jefferson presented the final draft of the
declaration OF independence some member of the Continental Congress
exclaimed: Just a Tote of platitudes!" And yet those 'plattudes" shook
the world and ancient system crumb1ed and kings lost their crowns.
The Code of Principles formulated by Presidents Green of the
a r Of l.. and Murray of the c. l. Q. and President Eric Johnston of the
|. ,. chamber OF Commerce is not perfect. In its present form it will
not hur or help anyone very much, but if its principles, its platitudes
II you please, are pressed by strong, earnest men they may very we'll
prove as potent as those immortal words penned by jefferson 1863
years ago:
w hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal tht they ar endowed by the Creator with certain unalienabe
rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
y ~
The ultimate effect of the Green-Murray Johnston pact will depend
on the good faith of those who sponsor it. There is nothing fantastic
about tn idea. Rulers of the rnightiest nations are urging us to set up
an organization to assure world peace for a n indefinite time.
II w can devise a plan to preserve peace among nations, why can't
we work out a plan which will promote peace and sympathetic under
standing between employers and the unions of their employees?
If M is feasible, why is the other ar illusion? We have faith that
inner of good will" can do this thing.
But there is nothing in the pact to safeguard the consumer, saws
Ira Mosher, president of the National Association of Manufacturers
shows a disposition to hold out. Well, men who arc wise enough
to formulate a peaceful solution of the differences between labor and
capital will surely be wise enough not to "gyp" the nsum :.
This isn't a plan to stick up" someone. It's a plan to bring in
custrial peace to America, and, therefore, a larger share of prosperity
and happiness to all its misunderstanding consumers-Iabor.

Bankers Fear World Peace

On April rs the world will take another step in the direction of
permanent peace. On that day, the delegates from most of the nations
approved weeks ago at Yata by the late President Roosevelt, Winston
Churchill and Josef Stain.
Their purpose is to perfect a world organization which IAN protect
every nation from the danger of unprovoked attach.
Such an organization cannot be perfected instantly. 1t will take
time and experience and patience. The hatreds of centuries will not
be wiped out in a few hours, The scars of past wars will remain to
haunt the hopes of peace. But we believe that the San Francisco con-
ference will be a success if w ire not led to think that it will instantly
settle every problem of the human race.
In other words, all we should expect out of San Francisco is pro-
gress. If we get more than that We shall be unexpectedly fortunate
AS long is the meetings do not break up in a riot, we have reason to
be thankful. Man has not had peace in the thousands of years since he
first crawled out of his cave and swung a primitive axe n his neigh
Dor. We cannot expect that peace will suddenly come in a few minutes
of conversation at San Francisco.
But we can expect that a start will be made The mere fact that
such a meeting is being held is a splendid accomplishment,
We should remember that powerful influences are at work to
destroy international collaboration at San Francisco Organizations
like the American Bankers Association ar more interested in a peace
with profit than a peace with justice.
They are attacking the monetary policies worked out at Breton
Woods. They are afraid that it would cost them some money. And, APP
parently the bankers want to maintain interest rates even though they
increase mortality rates. The bankers have strong support from ma
ional monopoies, international cartes and others who profit financial
ly from isolaionism.
by propaganda to make is suspicious of the motives OF the other nations
at the conference. We will be told that Russia or England or Egypt or
somebody is taking advantage of US We will be told we arr losing
our shirt.
We must disregard such stuff, even though the press and radio
will be full of it for weeks. And when the meeting is yer we should
appraise its results by n simple standard: Are the nation of the
world closer to accord than they we're when the meeting started? Is
permanent peace still possible?
If the answer to those questions is affirmative. taen the San Fran
cisco conference was a success and we should support its conclusions,
no matter what the money changers tell us-The International Team

ANOTHER FAMOUS
VICTORY FOR BYRD

Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia
has won another of those "victo-
ries" for which he is famous. He
has succeeded in persuading the
Army Engineers to abandon their
plan to harness" the Potomac
River.
BY constructing a series of dams,
the engineers could have created
a I. V. A. at the back door of
Washington and supplied millions
of people with cheap electricity.
OF course, the Power Trust didn't
like that. The rich newspaper pub
fishers of Washington didn't like
it. Therefore, Senator Byrd didn't
like it.
Now he proudly announces that
ne has assurance from the Chief
of the Army Engineers that the
scheme has been abandoned. So,
for an indefinite period, the people
must continue to pay tribute to the
Power Trust.
Some day, we hope, the voters
of Virginia will send to Washing
ton a Senator who is more interest
ed in the welfare of the people
than he is in profits of public utili-
ties.-Labor.
