SEVENTH WAR LOAN

The Seventh War Loan starts in two weeks-May Hand will close June 30 The overall quota throughout the nation will be IA billions the biggest yet more than half in Series bonds.
 As we square off for the drive there is one point to be emphasized: Let no one buy bonds with the secret intention of sneaking around the corner and redeeming them as quickly the quota is attained It is rather startling fact that during the first two months of this year more than third of the war bonds sold were redeemed. The rate of redemption has been rising steadily as men overseas pour out their blood along the road to victory
 Although the costly conflict in Europe draws to an end the Battle of Japan has only begun We have not yet been able to go al-out in the East The war to crush Japan will be bigger tougher and longer than most Americans think. The Allied Military Command has estimated that it will take yearsnot months.
 As the war draws closer to Japan's homeland. the fighting gets tougher The real Battle of Japan will be fought from inside of the inner Japanese Empire by the Jap Two Jima was just outpost
 The more men and equipment we can pour into the Pacific the shorter will be the period until final victory and the fewer men killed.
 The end of the in Europe will mean only that the United States will be able to turn its full war might against the Japs America will have no pause or celebration until Japan surrenders uncon- dtionaly.
 The Seventh War Loan is more important than the first six and it will not be the last before victory.

PREVIOUS TRIP UNSUCCESSFUL

Also. you have to remember that Molotov himself has been isolated
 Up until five years ago he had never been outside Russia. Three years ago, 1942, his first trip to the United States proved very unsuccessful one in that ne was not only denied a second front, but also was told that the Polish problem must wait until after the war to be settled Now, three years later, he is still trying to settle it. Molotovs ideas on international cooperation also are tinged by the fact that Russia was expelled from the League Of Nations during her trouble with Finland. And he must remember the period ill 1940 when American resentment against Rus

nudging Stalin's elbow. So when Molotov pulls off his abrupt moves in San Francisco, he doubtless has in mind the people he has to ap- pease back in the Kremlin, and they doubtless have in mind some of the conniving certain U. s. of ficials have done regarding a soft peace for Germany.
 Those are some of the diff culties in the complicated problem of ironing out a working peace machinery, not only among the little countries, but between the two most powerful nations in the world. And despite all the ups and downs, it is no less than a modern miracle that 46 nations are able to battle things out, slowly, frankly in a genuine effort to build up a permanent peace.

 URGED BY DELEGATE

Delegate E. L. Bartlett, upon re- quest of several Alaska communities, has urged the Chairman of the House Rivers and Harbors Com mittee to include certain river and harbor projects in the next rivers and harbors omnibus bill.
 These projects call for small boat harbors at Douglas and Homer, a breakwater at Rake, improvement of the harbor and construction of a breakwater at Tenakee, improvement and expansion of harbor facilities for small boats at Ketchikan, the construction of a channel across Prince of Wales Island, and the construction of a channel to Oliver Inlet and Seymour Canal, near .JIlnpall

DELEGATES STARTLED

A note of biting sarcasm rang through Molotov's voice which startled the delegates. It sounded as if the powerful Soviet Union, representing the greatest land- mass in the world, was trying to put the tiniest republic ill Latin America in it's place. Again, Russia lest more friends. And later when the vote was taken on seating Lublin Poland, she lost that also.
 These are some of the things about the Russians that take a lot of understanding. On the other hand, when Molotov, after winning his point on rotating the chair manship, finally sat in Stettinlus' place, he did an excellent job. He got off a little gag about being glad the conference would now have an opportunity to hear Rus sia, and proceeded to handle the session in the most expert manner.
 Unquestionably, it was a good thing to have a Russian preside at the conference. Also it was a relief to many people that the chairman didn't smirk and smile at photographers a la Hollywood, as the American chairman does in- cessantly.
 Another thing you have to re- member about the Russians is that We kept them isolated for years, so naturally they now behave like isolationists. You can't block off all trade, cultural and diplomatic relations between two nations for 20 years without making them sus- picious and putting a chip on their shoulder. We are now reaping the results of that holier-than thou policy.

different. Padilla arose i'll secret session to propose Secretary Stet- tinius as permanent chairman ol the conference Molotov promptly objected. He pointed out that four countries had invited the other nations to attend this conference and that representatives of all four host countries should rotate as chairman.
 Foreign Minister Padilla then delivered a recitation of previous precedents where the nation which served as host also acted as chair man. When he had finished, Molo- toy, who had already pointed out that four nations were hosts, got up and remarked:
 T am glad to be instructed m diplomatic procedure by the dele gate from Mexico, but apparently he prepared his little speech be- fore he heard my view
 Padilla, who had not read his speech, was taken aback. He mumbled something about always being prepared when he attended a conference and sat down. After a long. hot debate, Molotov won his point. But the manner in which he jumped on the Mexican lost him friends. A lot of Latins, jealous of Padlllas brilliant oratory, pre- viously had been opposed to him. But Molotov veered them in the opposite direction.
 Next day, in secret session, For eign Minister Jan Masaryk of Czechosloyakia, nation cooper ating with Russia, pointed to the vacant chair of Poland and moved that the Lublin Government be admitted. Foreign Minister Su- basich of Yugoslavia, also close to Russia, seconded the motion. Where upon, Anthony Eden, white-faced and prim, emphatically opposed There followed more hot debate
 Finally, to break the deadlock, Foreign Minister Spaak of Belgium proposed a compromise resolution expressing sympathy with Poland and hoping that she could be ad- mitted soon. Genial, rotund Ambas sador Caceres of Honduras, great friend of the U S. A, rose to second Belgium.
 Whereupon Molotov cracked back: Notwithstanding the support Of the Republic of Honduras, the

ANTILABOR MEASURES
NOT FARING WELL

Washington, D. C. - Labor is due
to emerge from the state legislature;
this year with much better batting
average against antiunion laws than
in either 1943 or 1914. In those two
years half dozen states enacted
drastic laws designed to smash unions.
SO far in 1945, however, out of 16
states which have finished their ses-
sions, only one South Dakota
has put through straitjacketing law
to outlaw "union shop" agreements.
In most of the other Is, antilabor
bills were killed outright or buried
with adjournment, while in several
foes of unions ran up the white flag
at the outset and didn't even intro
duce any restrictive legislation.

News From Ohio State Box HID col
Greetings! Organized Labor's ma
jor legislative battle got under way
Wednesday, April IL, when the SEN
ate Commerce and Labor Committee
held the initial hearing on two bills
pertaining to Unemployment Com
pensation.
One Of these bills, S. r. %, intro
duced by Senators Kirkendall 3D.,
Dayton) and Whitacre d., Minerva), !,
is Labor's proposal. The other meas
ure, S. b. l63, introduced by Senator
Reiners (R., Cincinnati), represents
the employers views on this import
ant subject. 1t is only natural that
representatives Of Labor in support
ing S. b. ga proved to be the op-
ponents Of s. B. 163, and employer in
terests formed the opposition to S. B.
ga when their support was given to
S. 3. 163.
The Hearing
After extensive research and pre-
paration, your Legislative Agent ap-
peared before the committee and set
forth the reasons why Organized La
Dor considered S. B. 81 as absolutely
essential. The defects of the present
setup were clearly pictured. 1t was
pointed out that the Unemployment
Compensation must adequately pro-
vide for workers who lose their jobs
during the postwar transition per-
iod. 1t was shown that the present
benefits were not adequate, in face
of the increased cost Of living, to pro-
worker and his family. Attention of
the committee was called to the dis
qualifying features of the present
law which denied benefits to "a out of
every 1C0 workers. The aims and
purposes embodied in the proposals
in S. B. ga were carefully and fully
explained.
Proponents of S. B. 163 also were
given an opportunity to testify. AL
though S. B. 163 does contain a few
slight improvements in the present
Unemployment Compensation provi-
sions, it does not go far enough. 1t
will not furnish adequate protection
for the working people, and it does
not remove the disqualifying features
found in the present law.
Subcommittee Appointed
AS the hearing drew to a close,
Senator Gray, chairman of the COM
mittee, appointed a subcommittee of
three (Senators Light, Reiners and
with instructions to hold
additional public hearings on the two
bills and to bring back to the COM
mittee one bill which they believed
should be enacted.

Tough And Hurd

Washington, d. c. GLNS). - Un-
relenting support and effort on the
home front is necessary to permit our
ad 1ance to continue down the "long,
tough and laborious road" to final
victory in the Pacific, Admiral Ernest
j. King, Commander in Chief Of the
Fleet, has told the nation.
In report for the year ended Feb.
28, 1915, Admiral King highlighted
combat operations, praised the coun-
try's productive capacity for provid-
ing the greatest Navy in history, ard
warned against any relaxation Of the
fighting effort or Of the industrial
effort that makes the fighting effort
possible"
: Instead of being "ahead Of sched-
ule" in the Pacific, he pointed out
that actually the Navy has no sched-
ule except to go as far and as fast
the means in hand would permit.
However, he reported that the war
today is ahead of expectations of last
year, a development which, he said,
SIOulu SLiHluidIc TdIflt-T LIdH sap our
determination to carry on with every
means we can muster"
"While we rejoice in the reoccupa-
ton of Guam and the Philippines,
from which our forces were driven 3
years ago, We must constantly realize
that we are only now gaining a posi-
tion from which we can assault the
heart of the japanese strength" Ad-
miral King reported. "That is our
goal
"But the very speed Of our advance
has created new production problems.
Our accelerated operations are plac-
ing heavy strain upon reserves of
certain vital items, while production
of certain necessities is falling behind
mounting requirements. 1t is only by
unrelenting support and effort on the
home front that our advance can con-
tinue."

Labor Supporting
Fiqhf For Fucfs

Washington, ID. c. ULNS). While
AFL, CIO and railroad unions are
strongly backing the program of gov
ernment agencies for compiling ade-
quate information on workers and
wages as guide to postwar readjust-
ment, "again Congress seems to be
operating on the theory that 'igno-
rance is bliss" Chester Wright's La
Dor Letter comments.
Last summer Congress approved
wage studies in agriculture and urban
industry and extended the employ
ment reporting system of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, but the House
turned thumbs down on census of
manufacturers during l945, which la
Dor and the Administration wanted as
a measure of what full production
really means. This year the House
has turned down the joint labor gov
ernment program for % a sample
census of the population early in 1916
and (2) expansion of the current la
Dor force survey to give quarterly
and monthly data for states and
larger cities.
The program, the Labor Letter
says, "would provide a true picture
of the movement in and out of war
industries monthly, by industries,
by skills, revealing employment and
unemployment. Cost = $5,000,O00.
House thinks this is not the time to
get facts. So labor is appealing to
the Senate"
