Labor's Private Socialism
By Rayn ond Moiey

Do you remember those days, long
ago. when strikes were called to get more
pay and shorter hours2 And when labor
leaders resisted employers welfare prof.
ects and said they wanted their welfare
In pay envelopes? The complex causes
of current strikes mark considerable
move from those simple years.
Among these contemporary causes are
the demands OF labor for an exaction
from the public through the employer,
of some sort of welfare fund. That is
one of the characteristics of the New
York City Newspaper and Mail De-
liverers' strike. A demand was made
for a contribution of 8 per cent OF the
payroll to a union welfare fund. This
issue is similar to the successful de-
mands made by James Caesar Petrillo.
with major difference. The fund
would be administered by labor
management committee with an I'M
partial chairman.
The announced purposes of these well
fare funds show quite clearly that the
unions are anticipating similar Govern
ment plans suggested by Senator Wag-
ner and others. Apparently, the unions
prefer their own health and welfare
systems, wholly or partially under their
control, before the Government has ex-
psnded its paternalism.
The great propaganda for various
Beveridge systems has thus affected
labo. thinking. But labor has decided
to get these benefits first for itself and
then, If Government provides some
more, it will have them too.
Labor policy thus favors a form of
paternalism, but privately controlled
paternalism. It is not wholly satisfied
to throw its weight into politics and to
force Government to levy taxes for its
purposes and needs. 1t Is for socialism
only as by-product Of its effort. Its
chief concern is to build up its power.
There is no question about the value
of the Petrillo idea as means toward
power. 1t strengthens the hold of lead
ers over the union membership and it
adds power to the union in political
campaigns and in bargaining with em-
ployers. 1t also strengthens unions
jurisdictional position against other
unions.
Members are held more securely by
such plans. A man who has built up q
right to an amount equal to half years
income, which would be possible In Is
years under per cent plan, would be
slow to depart from the union or 50 into

ments achieved so fine a medical
record as In this war.
Nevertheless, now that our forces
are being demobilized in Europe,
every effort must be made to dis
charge doctors as soon as their serv-
ices are no longer needed in the
Army or Navy. The civilian short
age has naturally affected the
standards of home-front medical
care, and the quicker 1t is met, the
better off the Nations health will
be. II it is at all possible to do so,
as the Senate subcommittee sug-
gests, the War Department should
expedite its release plan.

ROME (By Air Courier).--If one can
judge from American press clippings
reaching us over here, the assumption
is widespread that Tito runs Yugoslavia
with one ear glued to telephone con-
nected by direct wire with the Kremlin.
Although q recent visitor to the coun-
try, I am unfortunately in a position
neither to confirm nor deny the ac-
curacy of this engaging picture. A
definite answer to the most important
question of all Is not available to
foreigners there.
1T can be said, however, that SO far as
outsiders who are watching things in
Yugaslavia can see there Is no definite
evidence to support the theory that
Moscow is running things in Belgrade.
While a cordial relationship with close
political liaison between the two cap-
itals doubtless exists, these men think
1t is a mistake to class the Tito govern
ment as puppet organization.
Their on-the e-scene guess as to the
nature OF the relationship Is roughly as
follows:
*
Yugoslavia Is certainly one OF those
"neighboring" countries in which RUS
STA is interested In the existence of a
friendly" government. The govern
ment of good Comrade Tito is certainly
such a government. For the rest, any
control exercised by Russia is probably
remote It looks, in fact, as though
the Tito government is anxious to antici-
pate Russia's unexpressed desires-is
trying to conform to its own idea of
what the Russian line must be. and Is
sometimes uncomfortably insure as to
Just what 1t is.
Applying this hypothesis to specific
situation, the recent crisis over military
occupation OF the Trieste area, neutral
observers in Belgrade come up with
something like this:
Moscow probably knew In advance
of Yugoslavia's intention to occupy the
area, certainly did not express dis
approval of the idea, and may even have
vouchsafed an unof1icial nod. But when
the Yugoslavs found themselves faced
with strong Allied reaction to the

Says Children Need a Parent

Says Children Need Parent
To the Editor Of The Star:
I notice that The Star has allowed
a generous amount of space recently
to the discussion by its readers of
the early release of older family men
from the service, and I think The
Star Is to be congratulated on this,
as the group under discussion is
minority and, as such, its only chance
of succor is through informing the
public and Congress Of pertinent facts.
May I also venture to take issue
with Gen. Henry's belief that 1t would
be undemocratic to release these men
now2
I have seen mentioned that 1t is a
drain on the Treasury to pay the
allotment money, but have not seen
1t plainly stated that to have to raise
q family on this allotment is an undue
hardship. know, from my own case
and others like 1t, that mother and
two young children can barely live
on 500 month. 1t Is easy to say OF
some one else's children: Put them in
a day nursery and let the mother
go to work" If the father we're so
vitality needed by the Army that no
substitute could be found for him,
then am sure we would continue
to face it silently. But if that grave
emergency no longer exists, will some
one stop and think what it means
separating both father and a mother
from their children. Young children
get sick, they need love and care
and at least one parent in the home.
Is it democratic to allow this sort
of situation to continue indefinitely?

To the Editor Of The Star:
In recent issue of The Star, Err
nest D. MacDougall inquiries for some
place where, on weekday night, one
who prefers to sing rather than to
dance may go to participate person
ally In group singing.
Perhaps he might find something to
his liking by coming to the Bennett
Memorial Service Club at 6I3 c street
NV. At this club, there is free din
ner for service personnel at 6 o'clock,
and afterward there is plenty of sing
ing by all who will participate.
From to 7:30 there also is a Bible
quiz broadcast, conducted by Dale
Crowley; from 7:30 to 8:45 or there
abouts, an evangelistic service with
plenty of congregational singing. and
special numbers, and after that there
is opportunity for group singing
around the piano, as long as the sing
ers care to continue.
Mr.. MacDougall is invited.

BeIqiun Deadlock

The prolonged political crisis in
Belgium centering around the status
Of King Leopold has seemingly gone
into stalemate which may engen-
der consequences as serious as they
are unfortunate. After lengthy par
leys with political leaders of various
shades who have visited Leopold at
his residence near Salzburg. Austria,
the monarch has apparently aban-
doned his intention to return to
Belgium but, at the same time, per-
sists in his refusal to abdicate.
The middle course does avert the
immediate crisis which would have
been precipitated by an attempt of
the King to set foot on Belgian soil.
AS a result, Prime Minister van
Acker and his cabinet, who had sub
mitted their designations rather than
attempt to govern the country If
Leopold came back, will continue in
Office. Also, Leopold's younger broth
er, Prince Charles, will continue to
exercise his de facto regency which,
though irregular from the stand
point of strict legality. was prac-
tical necessity when Belgium was
freed from German domination with
the King a German state prisoner
and thus in involuntary exile.
Nevertheless. the whole royal
question" remains in a state of un-
certainty which will bedevil Belgian
political life until it is settled in
some definite fashion. The most
serious aspect of the problem is that
1t is not merely contest between a
stubborn king and his people. Leo
pold has many supporters in Bel
GUM, especially among the army
officers corps, the upper classes and
the Flemish element in the general
population.
1t is this last source of support
that contains the gravest possibili-
ties Belgium is composite country
made up of two distinct stocks diff
fering sharply from each other in
blood, speech, culture and outlook.
These are the Flemings and Wal
looms. The Flemings speak a variant
of Dutch. and are predominantly
conservative and clerical. The Wal
looms speak French, and tend to be
radical in both politics and religion.
The demarcation line is sharp and
has varied little in centuries. These
historically antagonistic elements
were welded into a nation only ia
years ago. the chief binding link be-
ing a common allegiance to the
crown which was then established
Anything which involves the dynasty
thus touches the very wellsprings of
national life.
Hitherto the dynasty itself has
not been brought in question, Leo
pold's opponents wishing him to abb
dicate in favor of his young son,
Baudouin, under the regency of
Prince Charles. But the general
trend in postwar Europe is running
so strongly against royalty that
there is no telling when an anti
monarchial movement might develop
on the extreme left If the present
controversy persists and gets more
acute.

Letters to The Star
Finds Gap Between Language
and Transforming Machine

To the Editor of The Star:
On page BIS of The Star OF June II
Howard w. Blakeslee, Associated Press
science editor, discussed an article by
DR.. vanneyar Bush of the Smithsonian
Institution, which appears in the july
issue OF the Atlantic Monthly.
Mr.. Blakeslee referred to number
of prophecies made by DR.. Bush, among
which was the following: Machines
will transform the sound Of dictation
into printed pages. The vocoder Of the
Bell Telephone Laboratories and the
stereotype furnish the necessary
principle for this"
The primary difficulty in devising
such q machine as DR.. Bush proposes
Is that there Is no actual mathemati-
cal relationship between spoken and
a printed word. The relationship is
q varying and uncertain one and can
be apprehended only by mental
process too complicated to explain. A
word is never pronounced twice ex-
actly the same any more than two
signatures ever are identical. The
human ear will accept as the same
word sequences OF sounds that may
vary widely in rapidity, pitch, timbre
and intensity, but machine could not
pass over such variations and at the
same time be sufficiently sensitive to
distinguish a particular word from
100000 other words, each with as many
possible variations In pronunciation.
DR.. Bush practically comedies the
impossihility of the machine he sug-
gests when he admits that "our pres
ent languages are not especially adapt
ed to this sort of mechanization." He
expresses surprise that inventors Of
universal languages have not seized
upon the idea of producing one which
better fitted (sic) the technique for
transmitting and recording speech"
But, as a matter of fact, our present
languages can be recorded perfectly
by the phonograph and perfectly trans
mitted by the telephone or the radio.
No language produced by the human
vocal organs would be adapted to the
type of machine which DR.. Bush pro-
poses. For the gap between the spoken
and the printed word can be bridged
only by the human brain. And even
II the machine were possible, is 1t
not fantastic to suppose that millions
of people would change their linguis-
tic habits merely TO facilitate its use?
