Truman S Fine Stand on Labor Matters
Revealed By His Public Record
While U. S. Senator He Voted For Most Of The Key
Measures and Responded To AFL For Help

Washington, D. Glow does Pres
ident Harry S. Truman stand on Ia
Dor? Let the record speak.
His record as United States Sena-
tor shows deep and sympathetic in
terest in the problems Of labor. He
voted for most of the key measures
advanced by the Roosevelt Admins
tration for the advancement of labor
and responded to many calls from the
American Federation of Labor for help
when labor's rights were endangered.
One highly significant indication of
his attitude toward labor was the fact
that in the last session of Congress he
lent his name as sponsor of the Kill
gore Truman bill to protect human
needs in the reconversion program.
This measure was defeated, but it may
be confidently expected that as Presi-
dent of the United States he will rec
ommend to Congress that such legis-
lation be enacted now to protect the
workers Of the nation from the raw
ages Of unemployment during recon-
version.

mans record as Senator was per-

New President Upholds War And Peace Airs, Promises
To Continue Fight For Common Man

81 want, in turn, to assure my fell
low Americans and all of those who
love peace and liberty throughout the
world that l will support and defend
those ideals with all my strength and
all my heart"
Leaders of the American Federation
of Labor, who backed Truman for the
Vice Presidential nomination in the
last Democratic Convention, were un-
animous in praise Of his momentous
declarations. President Green said:
"We must support President Tru-
man to the fullest extent of our pow
er. We must help him in the great
tasks ahead. This the workers Of
America will do!'
Mr.. Green further predicted:
"He can and will unite America, not
only for the consummation of mill
tary victory, but for the Inaugural
tion of postwar program of endur-
ing peace and domestic prosperity"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-04-27

Washington, D. C.-President Har-
ry S. Truman, in his first address to
Congress, pledged himself to carry out
the war and peace policies of Frank
lin d. Roosevelt.
LET me assure the forward look
ing people of America" he said, 'that
there will be no relaxation in our eff
forts to improve the lot of the COM
mon people,"
Confident that fate had placed the
leadership Of the nation in the hands
of an able and sincere Chief Execu-
tive, organized labor unhesitatingly
offered him it's fullest support in the
great tasks of winning the war and
the peace.
Facing these tasks with a charac-
teristic sense of responsibility and
humility, President Truman made it
clear that he welcomed and appre-
ciated the united support Of labor and
all other groups in the nations life.
Needless to say, the men and women
of labor who mourn the death of their
great champion, Franklin D. Roose-
velt, as personal loss, were encour-
aged by his successors attitude.
Appearing before the assembled
members of both branches of Con-
gress, President Truman sternly warn
ed the enemies of the nation:
"Our demand has been-and it re-
mains unconditional surrender"
He served notice on the entire world
that the direction of the war effort
will remain in the hands of the mill.

changed and unhampered."
At the same time, he appealed to all
Americans to support our efforts to
build strong and lasting United Ma.
tions organization" to establish ano
safeguard world peace.
Of special interest to labor were
the new Presidents expressions with
regard to the social policies Of the
New Deal He said:
saTragic fate has thrust upon u.
grave responsibilities. We must car
ry on.
"Our departed leader never looked
backward. He looked forward ant
moved forward. That is what HI
would want us to do. That is what
America will do"
Again he said:
with great humility, / call upol
all Americans to help me keep oul
nation united in defense Of those ideals
which have been so eloquently pro
claimed by Franklin Roosevelt.

feet. He did vote against labor on in
frequent occasions, but these omis-
sions were more than overbalanced by
his generally cooperative position. 1t
was therefore no surprise that leaders
of the American Federation of Labor
strongly supported him for the nomi-
nation as Vice President during the
Democratic National Convention in
Chicago last summer.
Perhaps Truman's strongest claim
to labor's loyalty results from the
marvellous record he made as chair
man of the Senate War Investigating
Committee. In it's third annual re-
port, made public year ago, this COM
mittee warmly praised labor's contri-
buttons to the war effort and silenced
labor's critics with facts. Referring to
labor's productive achievements, the
report said:
"The job that has been done not
only assures that victory will be won,
but it assures that it will be won more
quickly and with fewer casualties.
Our armed forces have more and bet
ter equipment than our foes.
"Unquestionably there have been
excesses which are subject to the Sc
verest condemnation. However, we
must not allow those excesses to OBJ
scure the fact that, on the whole, the
performance by labor has been very
good.
Strikes receive a very great
amount Of attention in the press be-
cause Of their dramatic character and
news value and because the public
properly respects these violations of
labor's pledge not to obstruct the war
effort by striking. However, strikes in

nation controls its own patch of sky Why

Resistance on Luzon

1t is as certain as anything can be
that the japanese will yet offer the
most violent and fanatical resistance
to our American forces on Luzon.
But it is surprising that they have
failed up to now to make any serious
effort to check the expansion of our
beachhead, which currently stretches
at least As miles along Lingayen Gulf
and which has been pushed inland
across the Agno River to a point
within some 80 miles of Manila.
After their failure to oppose our
initial landings, it had been thought
that the Agno. a strong natural
barrier. would be their first line of
defense. but it now appears that the
Japanese may not make a deter
mined stand until our Sixth Army
troops approach the important high
way junction of Tarlac. about 81
miles north of the Philippines capi-
tai. Here, however, without any
river to help them, they will have to
oppose us in open country where our
superior tank and mobile forces will
have plenty of room for maneuver.

favorable position for what may

and Democratic, favor it. too. The sit
uation Immediately after the close of
hostilities in the last World War was
virtually the same. A group of "irrec-
oncilables" in the Senate, small at first
but growing as the weeks passed, finally
ditched the Wilson league. At the bot
tom of this fight-which gained ground
not only in the Senate but also in the
country-were the peace terms en-
bodied in the Versailles Treaty.

If there is to be success now, steps
must be taken without delay both to
bring about the establishment of the
proposed permanent United Nations Sc
curity Council, with an attendant court
of justice, and to set up temporary in
ternational political council, in which
this country shall have part, to deal
with the knotty questions arising over
the European territory that has been
freed of Nazi domination.
1t is time that the Allies OF this coun-
try in Europe, Britain and Russia,
recognize the fact that If the United
States is to help guarantee peace on
that continent, it must have voice in
the final peace settlements. If this is
to be a primary obligation of America
and it apparently is-there must be
something more back of the peace than
mere power politics as played by the
British and the Russians.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan has
urged on the Allies an immediate treaty
In which this country would guarantee
the use of all its forces to demilitarize
and keep demilitarized Germany and
Japan. He coupled with this proposal
a recommendation that the United Ma
tions Security Council-still to be
erected-should have the authority to
review present adjustments in liberated
Europe.
Senator Connaly of Texas. chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee, has
followed with a recommendation that
United Nations Political Council be
established now to deal with the prob
lens of the liberated territory And
finally, Senator Wheeler himself has
proposed the creation of such council

to break through the defenses surround
ing the Reich or whether 1t will merely
chase the Nazis out OF the territories
they have occupied since 1899. In any
event, the Germans certainly will oppose
the Russians as fiercely as they have
opposed the Allies in the west Under
these conditions, there can be no margin
for error on either side.
Stain has personally conducted the
military operations of his forces since
the outbreak of the German-Russian
war During lull in December, 1943,
he took time out to meet President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill
at Teheran This meeting had to be
held. The American and Russian lead
ers had never met before and there were
many vital military and political prob
lens which had to be settled by con-
ference and not by exchanges of diplo-
matte notes.
Among other things, there was the
important matter of second front.
Mr.. Churchill differed with Premier
Stain as to the area which should be
invaded by the American and British
forces. The personal contact of the
three men at Teheran settled this ques-
ton and numerous others.
There can be no doubt about the
necessity OF another meeting of the big
three. But the timing appears to be
unsatisfactory The Russian armies
have started moving from the Carpa-
thians to the Baltic Sea under the per-
sonal direction of Premier Stain. This
gigantic offensive. involving more than
2,500,000 men, makes the political prob

sequence for the time being.

American scene OF her time. Nothing
In the world around her left her
cold. She cared intensely about even
quite small and ephemeral things.
Her capacity to discover and to in
terpret detail was noteworthy from
first to last. Conservative yet deeply
charitable, convinced yet glad to
listen to dissenting opinion, optim-
istic yet not an uncompromising
romantic, she will have her place
among artists of her epoch because
she likewise was sincere, earnest, not
afraid of toll, frank and courageous.
That is another way of saying that
she deserved the success she gained
in the tasks to which she applied her
talents. No truer epitaph could be
proposed for her.
