Back to Work

Inc people OF washington Will
welcome the decision of the bus
and streetcar operators to return to
their Jobs, for it iss the people, and
not the transit company, who have
been the real victims of this
"quickie" strike.
1t would be interesting to know
Just what considerations prompted
the strike. The operators have
gained nothing that could not have
been obtained through the orderly
procedures prescribed by their con-
tract. On the contrary, by a de-
plorable demonstration of irreSpon-
sibility, they have succeeded only in
forfeiting a measure of public SYM
pathy. 1t is true that the men and
women who operate the buses and
streetcars of Washington have been
under real strain. During the war
they have worked long hours. Their
vehicles have been constantly over
crowded, and the passengers, many
of them probably harassed by war
time problems of their own, on
occasions have been none too con-
siderate of the drivers. Hence, one
might reasonably conclude that this
strike had been building up in the
systems of the operators and that
the walkout was simply a matter of
letting off steam. In any event, it
is to be hoped that this is the case,
and that the drivers, now that they
have gone back to their jobs, will
recognize that the unauthorized
walkout was a default in their
obligations under the contract and
to the public, and that they will
remain at work while the wage issue
is being settled in the manner in
which they agreed that it should be
settled.
initiating against this is the
threat to renew the strike unless the
wage dispute is settled within four
teen days. Unless this was merely
face-saving device it is an un-
satisfactory arrangement, and one
which must have been accepted BY
the transit company with great re-
luctance, for it amounts to notice
that the contract may be preached
again at the election of the en-
ployes. This is in direct conflict
with the essential basis upon which
the principle of collective bargain
ing rests. The current contract pro-
hibits Interruptions of service and
provides for arbitration of disputes
The union entered into it volun-
tarily and presumably in good faith
But both the strike and the four
teen-day ultimatum are thoroughly
inconsistent with good faith and
with the concept that an agree
ment, once entered into, will be
kept.
The transit workers are by nc
means the only offenders in this
respect, for the tendency of unions
to ignore their contracts for reasons
of expediency is becoming rather
widespread. But it is a tendency
which must be a matter of concern
to intelligent union members who
realize that collective bargaining
cannot-and will not-endure if one
of the parties persists in what
amounts to an attempt to bargain
in bad faith.

Stains Spokesman

The speech delivered by Foreign
Commissar Molotov on the twenty
eighth anniversary celebration Of
the October revolution will be over
shadowed in the eyes of the world
by the failure of Premier Stain to
make any appearance on that his
toric occasion. Nevertheless, it was
an important speech and it deserves
careful consideration.
There has been no statement of
the reason for Stalin's failure to
participate in the observance of the
day which, in Russia, is comparable
to our own Fourth of July. In view
OF the fact, however. that the Rus
slams this year are also celebrating
the victory over the Fascist powers
it is certain that only the most
compelling reasons could have pre-
vented the generalissimo from max
ing an appearance. The natural
supposition is that the rumors OF
his serious illness are we'll founded,
yet this, until there has been some
authoritative announcement, must
remain matter of conjecture. The
only thing of which we may be
sure is that Mr.. Molotov, presumably
acting as Stalin's spokesman, has
made statement of Soviet policy
which challenges the attention of
the world.
1t is clear, from his statement,
that the Soviet government remains
dissatisfied with the arrangement
for Allied control of Japan, and,
judging from his remarks, there
seems to be little prospect that the
Russians will take part In the cur
rent discussions of the Far Eastern
Advisory Commission. This stands
in contrast to last weeks statement
by President Truman that he ex-
pected Russia to join the commission
at an early date.
Mr.. Molotov also discussed for the
first time the matter OF the atomic
bomb, and 1t is difficult not to read
into his remarks a protest against
the Anglo-American decision to
withhold the production secrets in
volved in the manufacture of the
bomb. On the whole, however, the
speech of the Foreign Commissar
was moderate in tone.
Disclaiming any desire for venge-
ance, he said that in the judgment
of the Soviet authorities "it is not
past wrongs that should actuate us,
but the interests of safeguarding
peace and security for the nations
in the postwar period" And to this
| he added: The Soviet Union has
been and will continue to be re-
liable bulWark in the defense OF
peace and the security OF the peoples,
and Is ready to prove this not in
words but in deeds"
This may mean much or little.
But it seems to carry an implicit
invitation which should be acted
upon. AS OF today the greatest
obstacle to security. or at least to a
sensesof security. lies in the failure
to develop any real safeguard against
the aggressive use Of atomic weapons.
We know that Russia, given tir~e,
can develop her own atomic weapons,
and Mr.. Molotov implies that that
will be done. In this situation, COM
mon sense would indicate the de-
STABILITY of sharing our "know-how'
secrets, conditioned upon an ar
rangement for international inspec-
ton which would guard against
secret preparation in any country for
surprise attack. Mr.. Molotov's words
may indicate that Russia now is
ready to entertain such proposal.
In any event, the possibility should
be explored, and explored now.

Does this plan, then, really insure
that no one component of the armed
forces should dominate the military
thought of departments? Or does it
IN fact insure that the military thought
OF that component to which the chief
OF staff of the armed forces happens to
belong shall have heavy edge on the
others?
This question of a balanced and CO.
ordinated budget for the national secur-
ity is the most persuasive argument for
unification, if that result could not be
better obtained by any other means,
But Gen. Collins presentation does not
seem convincing on the latter point
either
Let us look at this idea of a CO.
ordinated budget in the light of Navy
Secretary James v. Forrestals proposal
for a national security council, to con-
sist tunder the President) of the Secre-
taries of State, War and Navy-plus q
secretary of air If we have a separate
airforce. The joint chiefs of staff
tArmy. Navy, air and the chief of staff
to the President) would be a subordinate
agency of this council. Why could not
these completely independent chiefs of
stan work out co-ordinated budget
just as well without the guidance" Of a
military superior? The budgets of the
three departments having been brought
into line, each chief of staff could SUBJ
NIT his own budget recommendation
to his secretary, and the joint chiefs of
statf could submit their joint recon-
mendations-the interlocking part of the
procedure-to the National Security
Council
The three secretaries could then,
working within the framework of the
council and assisted by its secretariat,
coordinate their comments" on their
respective budgets, in the light Of the
recommendation Of the joint chiefs OF
staff.
Would this not provide more reliable
advice for the President than the com
ments" Of single secretary who could
hardly have overall competence, who
might fall under the domination Of .
single military adviser?
The President would get his advice on
basis of complete equality between the
components Of the armed services
It is certainly necessary to insure
that no one component Of the armed
services shall dominate" our military
planning. But the way TO do that Is TO
keep the components actually inde-
pendent, while providing machinery not
for ironclad unified military control. but
for coordination and adjustment.

To the EDITOR OF The Star:
am a member OF the local transit
union and attended the strike meeting
in the Gayety Theater. In the two years
that have been a member land / was
high-pressured to join originality /
have lost my right to freedom Of speech
insofar as the union and It's activities
are concerned.
The meeting made me sick at my
stomach and on several occasions I felt
like raising my voice in opposition to
the union demands and expressing my
feelings as to the poor wisdom of calling
strike. am considered to be healthy
person, but to have done so would have
been very unhealthy. I know that /
would have been picked up bodily,
maltreated and tossed out. Believe me,
I am not the only member Of this local
that shares this opinion. But none will
dare voice our opinions. This is sorry
situation.
You probably know that our president,
Mr.. Simms, got up and asked that a
strike not take place. that to do 50
would be preaching our contract. Sure,
he was booed, but that is just another
union trick to cast off responsibility for
the strike. am fed up with what has
been going on In this local. which IS
typical Of every other one In the Nation.
In closing wish to say: More power

there are not hundreds more IN his

Your charm Is as dated as a doll- sized hat if you can't take shortages, shoe stamps, A, cards. crowded con- veyances and queue-standing in your stride.
 Nor can you be a charmer, judged by today's standards, if you take" wartime inconvenience and bemoan your lot.
 If you have to do your own house. work because maids are scarce or forego your summe. vacation be- cause transportation facilities are serving a graver need, your lot IS no worse than thousands of other women in this country. No Amer ican, beset by such inconvenience. can possibly feel sorry for herself when she stops to think of the plight of millions of hungry, ill-clad and homeless women in Europe.
 To go to the head of the class in any charm test today, you have to be a little heroine who leaps into tougher tasks, takes longer hours with e cheerful grin. and iS phil. osOphical enough to say to her fam- fly: Let's make this vacation at home the best one we've ever had."
