CONGRESS HAY ON
MONETARY FUND,
MAY ACT TO KILT

Of a
lack Of full knowledge of the plan and
possibly because of the opposition OF
some leading banking Figures, the U. S.
Congress may cut the heart out Of the
Breton Woods agreement-the interna-
tional monetary fund for currency ssabi-
lization.
Many Washington observers believe
Congress will approve both the monetary
agreement and the international bank
for reconstruction and development. But
the bug comes in the currency stabili-
cation fund would freeze out these in
ternational bankers by taking away their
traditional role as professional creditors.
Instead Of International bankers. govern
ments would pool their resources to fur
nish a new monetary standard. This
would help restore confidence of the
various nations and allow them to go
ahead with expansion plans of a broad
nature.
Banker opposition is based on banker
conservatism and a desire to be cut in
on the interest payments and to have a
hand IN saying how the creditor nations
shall operate and what they must do to
get the loans.
The U. S. stake in the sterilization
fund would be only IS billion. It would
be used to stabilize -currencies in mem
Der countries with the aim Of stopping
initiation. 1t would not bar private loans
as some Of the banking fraternity seems
to fear.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE
KILLS ALL
ANTI-LABOR MOVES

TOPEKA, Kans. r. FP) A~nti-labor
forces took a sound beating in the ses-
sion of the Kansas legislature which just
ended here.
The Christian American Associations
right-to-work amendment %outlawing the
closed shop and a bill to prevent unions
from charging more than 81 initiation
fees and 81 monthly dues were both
killed in committee. So was the resolu-
ton of Publisher Frank e. G%annett's
Committee for Constitutional Govern
ment to put a 25 per cent limit on in
come taxes.
The clearcut defeat Of these laws is
especially significant here in view of the
intensive activities of the Christian
Front in Kansas this year. CAA organ
izer George r. Roscoe was sent from
Texas to organize the campaign for the
u%nion-busting laws, which were backed
by the Associated Industries of Kansas.
A number of Christian Front education
al and political organizations sprang up
to help conduct a mass propaganda
drive.
As organized labor celebrated its sue
cessful fight against these forces, Roscoe
bought a ticket to go back to Texas. IF
the Kansas legislature does not want to
cooperate, there is no further need Of
my services here, % he said.

'~INTEGRATED' POST
WAR ALUMINIUM
INDUSTRY URGED

WASHINGTON-FP)-Inten on re-
tanning its 52-year monopolstic grip on
the aluminium industry, the Aluminium
Company Of America March 20 urged
Congress to delay disposition Of govern
~ment-owned plants and asked that an
~'integrated aluminium industry" be pre-
served after the war.
Alcoa was represented at Senate bank
ing and currency committee hearings
by one of its vice presidents, I. W. Will
son, in what amounted to its first public
appearance since the U. S. Circuit court
.of Appeals in New York held it to be a
monopoly in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
While Wilson maintained Alcoa gave
its utmost help to little aluminium manu-
.facturers and users, the recent court
ruling said. I'VE can find no instance of
its helping prospective ingot manufac-
turers." The Senate committee also
pointed to the court decision which ex-
posed Alcoa's method of dealing with
competitors by doubling and %redoublng
its capacity before others entered the
field"
In urging preservation of an "inte-
grated industry, Wilson said it should
be allowed to furnish small business en-
terprises with their raw material He
said disposition of government-owned
should be delayed as no living
person" can estimate how long it will
take to develop postwar aluminium mar
kets.

MEAT SUPPLY l5%
OFF in 1915
CIVILIANS

WAsHINGTON-dP)-Eve if the
U. S. Army bought no meat at all and
its entire ALLEGATION were distributed to
civilians. it would mean an increase Of
only a half pound a week to each per
sons share, Under Secretary of War
Ralph P. Patterson said April 3.
Patterson's statement was part OF a
review of army food requirements and
came as the Senate agriculture subcom-
mittee was launching a wide inyestiga-
ton into the situation.
Appearing before the Senate commit
tee was Lieut.. Col Ralph Olmstead Of
the War Food Administration who said
fatty that the meat supply in 1945 will
be So billion pounds or 1870 short of
requirements.
Although the world food situation has
improved, world production of meats,
fats, oils and eggs, as well as sugar. will
be smaller than in 1914.
Coupled with this, Olmstead said. All
allied military requirements as well as
liberated area requirements are higher
than in 1914. For example, U. S. mill
tary requirements exceed 1914 by about
1917. Military requirements for civilian
feeding are increasing monthly. Re
quirements for August are double those
Of March"
Olmstead said increases in troop
strength, increases i'm the number Of
prisoners of war, proposed expansion of
activity in the Pacific after We day,
increased navy requirements and the
need of feeding civilians on Pacific
islands are requiring more and more
food supplies and the military require
ments of our allies are higher for COM
reasons.
With this dark picture, the VIA said.
supplies of many other foods. particu-
.arly supplies available to U. S. civilians.
are Of record or near record size. world
wheat supplies are adequate to meet all
demands. Entirely adequate supplies of
cereal products may be anticipated and
prospective supplies of fresh and frozen
'ish are large.
Domestic supplies of fresh vegetables
nave been entirely adequate and pros
poets are this situation will continue.
The outlook for fresh fruit for U, S.
civilians this spring is for total supplies
larger than last year. u. S.
civilians supplies Of eggs in 1945 are
likely to be equal to or above consump-
ion in 1914 n nearly 300 above pre-
var. Similarly, U. S. civilian supplies
# fluid milk will be of record size and
bout $50 above prewar levels"
The food hearing will continue about
% days.

SOCIAL, ECONOMIC
BACKGROUND OF
AMERICAN MEDICINE

Like a warships searchlight on a dark
sea, Bernhard j. Stern's American Med
ical Practice in the Perspectives of a
Century Commonwealth Fund, New
York, $3.50 sheds a powerful beam on
why many doctors are r%eactionary in
their social outlook and bitterly oppose
adequate medical care through the Wag-
ner-Murray-Dingen bill.
Instead of giving the usual romantic
history Of medicine he uses the histor-
zeal and economic approach. His first
chapter is a condensed masterpiece OF
the growth Of mass production in Amer
lean industry, concentration into cities
spreading of slums and epidemics, in
dividual incomes, expansion Of govern
ment functions, etc.
IN the face of the vast increase in
national income and of consumers
goods" he writes, "a situation has devel-
oped in which a large segment Of the
people Of the u. S. have incomes that do
not permit them to share fully in these
social gains
Doctors generally resisted scientific
progress, particularly the development of
specialists, Stern records. They also
opposed settlement of additional doctors
in their communities, protecting their
economic interests" as he says. They
still fight having fulltime salaried doc
tors who do not depend on individual
patient fees. Yet experts calculate that
on the individual fee basis the medical
needs of a considerable proportion of
American families are not fully met"
He notes how racial discrimination i'm
pairs medical practice because Of dis
elimination against Negro physicians ."
In Mississippi there are no modern hos
pitfalls where a Negro physician may
practice, even When Negroes are admit
ted" So Negro men die 57G5 faster than
white men and Negro women 74% faster
than white women.
THE problems Of medical practice that
are agitating the public today" Stern
concludes, are therefore primarily con-
cerned with the provision Of a high quail
ity of curative and preventive medical
service to all the people"
1t is probably the one book of a medi-
cal character that union Libraries should
have. American Medical Practice costs
only s1.50 and if you buy through the
Union Bookstore, 5O21 Woodward, De
troit 2, you Will get some discount.

JUSTICE BLACK
WARNS OF
NATIVE FASCISM

WASHINGTON-FP)-An associate
justice of the U. S. Supreme Court
warned America last week that it will
not be enough to wipe out fasoism
abroad because the nation must also
stamp out the conditions that create
fascism at home.
The warning was sounded by Hugo L.
Black before an audience Of leading po-
litical and liberal figures gathered under
the sponsorship Of the Southern Con
ference of Human Welfare to present
him with its Thomas jefferson award.
Black, in accepting the award for be-
ing the southerner whose work in public
affairs is most in the jefferson tradi-
ton" said 'the peace to which we now
look will further test our democratic
faith. 1t will not be enough to stamp
out fascism in the lands OF our enemies.
The conditions which create fascism
there must not pass @unnoticed here.
Their first and most dangerous symp-
tom is always the same everywhere-an
abandonment Of equal justice to all, The
placing Of some groups in a preferred
class Of citizenship at the expense Of
other groups. True democracy must
continue the var on all such beliefs"
Acting as POSTMASTER was Sen. Alben
w. Barley D-Ky) and other speakers
included War Mobilization Director Fred
Vinson, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, sen
Claude Pepper, D.-Fla.), Charles H.
Houston, director of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Colored
People; Pres. Frank p. Graham of the
University Of North Carolina: sec. Of
Henry A. Wallace; Sec. Of
Harold Tckes, Sec. of Labor
Perkins and a large list Of
including associate justices of the
Supreme Court.
Outstanding as a leading liberal on the
court, Black wa lauded by Vinson who
said that If courage and adherence to
principle have been the woof Of Mr..
Blacks career, a fierce and un-
ieviating devotion to the common man
been its very warp. On the bench
has been prominently the guardian
protector Of the basic freedoms of
he common man"
Pres. Roosevelt, in a personal messagel
'ead by Barley, said Black deserved the
lonors accorded him, adding Ibis own
'areer has served to translate from his
DRY into public service the meaning of
Ie%fferson's devotion to the rights of
nan"
The president concluded with this sig
lificant phrase: America owes much
o its South and certainly not the small
st part of its debt is the heritage of the
rec mind and the liberal, democratic
aith which we associate with the great
jefferson. We never needed that faith
1ore than now"

AMERICA ALUMINIUM
MONOPOLY HIT
BY REP. DELACEY

WASHINGTON-(FP)-A charge that
the RFG recently gave an order for $50
million pounds of aluminium to the Alu-
minum Co. Of Canada, a subsidiary of
the Aluminium Co. of America at the
expense of Alcoa's potential competitors
in the U. S. was made on the floor Of
the House April S by Rep. Hugh DeLacy
D,-Wash).
DeLacy said the deal will cost U. S.
taxpayers $40 million more than the
same tonnage could be had from Alcoa's
rivals inside the nations borders and at.
is risking at least $50 million of tax
payers money invested in the Pacific
northwest alone.
And this vast wastage comes atop an
outright loss of another s65 million-or
possibly $1OO million-already invested
in uneconomic aluminium plants whose
location in high cost power areas can
only be understood as having been die
tated by those who wanted to protect
Alcoa from real postwar composition, "
DeLacy said.
The congressman said the contract
extension with Alcoa's Canadian branch
was engineered in the shipshaw contract
by Jesse Jones, Texas banker then head
of the RFC and the Metals Reserve
Corp. He denied that the contract can
be excused on the basis Of war urgency
and said the RFC and Defense Plant
Corporation under Jones had given more
than $685. million to the Canadian
aluminium trust interest free, and fur
ther charged we arranged to give the
principle, too, through prices enough
more than we paid any American pro
Queer SO that all Of the original S68t
would eventually come out Of our
pockets"
DeLacy cited figures showing that al
three War-constructed aluminium plants
in New York and New Jersey power
costs were such that the plants were
eventually closed because production
costs were Ice or more a pound while
aluminum's selling price was only l5o a
pound.
On the other hand, he said, the Rey-
nolds Metals Co. set up a rival plant to
.lcoa in the northwest with a cheap
aydro-electric power rate and produces
,he wal vital metal at from 10 to lie
4 pound. In Los Angeles and Riverbank.
Cal, two DFC erected plants are making
aluminium at virtual cost despite a high
II power rate.
But now, he went on, the California
plants are closed and three eastern
plants that cost SOS million have been
linked, while Alcoa's Canadian branch
5ets the business. Adding up, DeLacy
for cancellation of the Canadian
contract and transfer of the business to +
he rival company in the northwest. q
