What's the Hurry?

Both the fund and the bank
haze the porUer TO COMPLETELY
NULLIFY THE EFFECT OF OUR
TARIFF LAWS"
Congress also has the Presidents
own word for it that the Breton
Woods agreement is merely the
prelude to an enormous volume of
far-reaching internationalistic legis
lation which the Congress will be
expected to enact and regarding
which the Congress is totally and
woefully uninformed.
"TheSe rUiH include" Mr. Roose-
velt said "the establishment of the
food and agriculture organization
of the United Nations, broadening
and strengthening of the trade
agreements act Of 1884, international
agreements for the reduction of
trade barriers, the control of cartelS
and the orderly marketing of tUorld
surpluses of certain commodities, A
REVISION OF THE EXPORT-IM-
PORT BANK, and an international
oil agreement, as WeH as proposals
in the field of civil aUiation, ship
ping and radio tUire communica-
tionS."
MORE than suggestion is appar-
w ent in the Presidents message
that the United States is TO CON
TINUE TO PLAY THE ROLE OF
AN INTERNATIONAL SANTA
CLAUS IN THE POSTWAR
WORLD.
In point of fact, that is one of the
things which Mr.. Roosevelt has most
definitely in mind.
at wiH also be necessary, OF
course" he blandly said, TO RE-
PEAL THE JOHNSON ACT"
The Johnson act is a law that
forbids the lending of American saw
ings TO debtor nations which in the
past have defaulted on their Ameri-
can obligations and swindled Ameri-
can creditors.
Plainly in matters as grave as
these and of such unpredictable con-
sequences, Congress should NOT
act hastily
1t is the duty of Congress TO act
THOUGHTFULLY, WISELY and
PATRIOTICALLY.

THE second reason for tho
Il timidity of our policy lies in
an exaggerated estimate of Rus

TO THE EDITOR.

4 A
IN REFERENCE to the Times
DSR series, l have two Sug-
gestionS for the possible allevia-
ton of the transportation short
age.
The first suggestion might be
transmitted TO the DSR Tor pro-
batlonary trial.
FirSt-The flow Of passenger
traffic through StreetcarS should
be reversed. BY utilizing the
center door as the entrance and
the front~dooT as the exit, pas
Sengers travelling a long distance
would remain IN THE REAR
of the strectcar, while those an
tiCipating a short ride or de-
parture from the car would pay
their fares to the conductor and
pass toward the front of the car.
Front-end exit would also ale
viate the usual congestion al the
exit. Furthermore, congestion
at crowded or hazardous plat
forms provided for loading
would be decreased by this re-
verSal of traffic, insofar as pas
Sengcrs waiting for the cars
would assemble in tho center Of
the platform and allow the end
closer to the street intersection
and CroSSwalk for the move
ments of alighting passengers. y
SeCOnd-The motorists share
thc-ridc program should be en-
largcd. BY sponsoring a pro-
gram, newspapers could bring
about greater cooperation on
the part of motorists heretofore
travelling alone 10 and from their
daily work. Certain locations
should be established where mo-
toriStS could pick up one or
moro persons travelling IN the
same direction aS they are pro-
Cceding Printed destination
cards placed in the windshield
of automobiles would indicate
the destination OF the cooper
atIng driver. Persons waiting 10
travel IN the direction Of hlS dos
tlnauon would hail him al the
designated locations.

FAIR
ENOUGH
BY Westbrook [
PegIer


SENATOR VANDENBERG Of
~ Michigan has tried 10 pre-
vent by law Jimmy Petrillo's
exclusion from the radio Of the
national music camp at Inter-
lochcn, Mich, which is a nom
profit summer school of music.
The head of the camp is DR..
Joseph r.. Maddy. professor Of
music at the University OF
Michigan.
He is a member of the Amer
ican Federation of Musicians, a
labor union, OF which Petrillo is
president.
Among the camp faculty are
p other union musicians who
usually earn their living as pro-
fcSSionals but cannot continue
TO do so unless they remain
members in good standing.
Senator Nandenberg pro-
posed law would forbid Petrillo
10 interfere with any nonCom-
mcrcial, educational and cul-
tural program.
Pctrillo beat him 10 il by
placing the camp on his unfair
list This means that Maddy
and other union teachers must
quit the camp or abandon their
right 10 earn a living as per-
forming musicians.
DOCTOR MADDY says the
~ camp is blackhSted because
he criticized Pctrillo and insists
that IN 50 doing he was within
his constitutional rights.
- l. being Haipe..--
OF course. that was his right
under the Constitution OF the
United States
But he should know that
when the Constitution Of the
country conflicts with the con-
Stitutlon OF any union. the
latter document prevails.

In my humble opinion, held
for some 10 years, there is
nothing that the city of Detroit,

be more ashamed of than its
transportation system.

Federal Spending
Incon7prehenSible

Washington, July 11-UP-In the
first week OF the current fiscal year
the figures on Treasury spending
and the deficit already have gone
into almost incomprehensibly large
figures.
The official report on the first
seven days Of July is that the
government spent S1,79S,916,522.9S.
Tax revenue In the same week was
s446,753,797.5s. The deficit accum.
ulated in seven days exceeded
1880, ,O00, 900.
These statistics add up to the
hottest domestic problem President
Truman will confront in the re-
naming years OF his term in the
White House. As war emergencies
diminish there will be an increase
OF pressure on the Administration
for economy. AS economies are af.
fected there will be dispute over
apportionment OF the savings
among taxpayers and the proper.
ton of Treasury income which
shall be devoted to reducing the ma.
tional debt These pressures and
disputes will have political signific.
ance and with elections coming on
they will have considerable impact
on Washington.

Lansing. July 11--AP - Miehi.
gan's postwar labor force may ap-
provimate the 1910 level, although
the number OF unemployed may be
increased by approximately $4,000,
Dean Russell A. Stevenson Of the
University OF Michigan School of
Administration said Tuesday.
Stevenson, reporting on the post
war employment outlook TO the
state planning commission, said
that studied estimates" indicate
the state would have a postwar la
Dor force OF approximately 2,331.-
900, or 40.4 per cent of the states
population, and an increase over
the 1910 figure Of 2,125,s77. There
we're 300,924 persons on work re-
lief or hunting jobs in 1910.
During the war years, there have
been 100000 new workers in Michi-
gan-20O,0O0 Immigrants and 500,-
900 new women workers, but 100.-
900 of the out-of-state workers,

Goodyear Factory
in Jackson Ready
for Peace Period

The Goodyear Rubber factory at
Jackson. formerly makers Of anti
tank guns for the Army. is recon
verted TO production OF tires for
cars and trucks. Although much OF
the present production is for the
government, the company holds
contracts for peacetime tires, which
can be made without changing a
machine.
The plant is now paying an aver
age wage for men Of S1.16 per hour,
which is the peacetime scale OF
1899.
At one time. $50 soldiers were
furloughed indefinitely to work IN
the plant because OF the acute man.
power shortage. They are being
recalled rs rapidly as possible and
are being replaced with civilian
workers. Ninety remain Of the org
Ilnal detachment.
Jackson needs 700 men at once.
The major drawback in that city
ID the lack OF housing. The plants
want the steady family man, but
are at present unable to provide
adequate homes. However, the
lGoodyear Company, with others in
1Ihe area, are working together in
an effort to solve this difficulty.
