A Slogan, and Reality
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati EnquireD
 There's danger-and real danger we think-that may upset our postwar economic picture by too much insistence upon such catch slogans as "6o000 900 jobs"
 There may be some people in this country per- haps economic royalists, who astoundingly myopic selfish in their outlook that they relish the thought of anyone who wants job not having one We're glad to say we don't know any such creature
 If there's anything that all creeds of political and economic belief agree upon it's the de- sirabity of many jobs as our economic structure will bear. The only question, therefore, is What to do about providing more jobs if that still isn't enough?
 In stating the case, think we have revealed the faulty premise with which many postwar planners particularly of the Henry Wallace school-are ap- preaching the subject of tomorrows jobs. Namely how to provide more jobs than "our economic struc- ture will bear" 4@
 The obvious answer to the question is: Have the government provide them It sounds well enough, but if there isn't money in economic structure to put man to work where's the government going to get it? M&
 Unfortunately, in the last decade o. so, we have grown to think of government something apart from our national private Actually, when you stop to think about it, the credit of the United States wouldn't be worth tnker's dam if it didn't represent the power to tax 130O0OOO0 people, each with his own private means, his job, his house or his share of railroad stock. And the nations credit wouldn't be worth tinker's dam if we were individually and collectively paupers.
 Up to now, have sidestepped this blunt economic reality by the expedient of borrowing But those days are done, if not forever, at least for however long 1t will take to retire the war debt Only a madman would propose that the government keep on living beyond it's income after the war; with the debt already ranging toward third of a trillion dollars.
 So what? Well, it's really fairly simple. After private business and industry provide all the jobs they can and the less restrictive the government regua tion the more they can provide, of course) the government actually can't increase the net number of available jobs If it makes" job it must collect taxes to pay for 1.-the taxation comes out of cor porate or individual funds and job for someone is eliminated. Any grandiose program of governmentaly made work only trades private employment for the bascally nsound Federal work project

YELLOW CAR KAISER

Have you also got reservations from Chicago to Washington" was the next request. MT. Kaiser doesn't know before he gets to Chicago whether he will go to New York or straight to Washington. So we'll need three rooms on the Capitol Limited" said the secretary.
 Miller then wangled three bed- rooms from the Baltimore and Ohio on the Capitol Limited to Wash ington, and reminded Miss Knuth to be sure to have Kaiser cancel whichever he did not use as soon as he got to Chicago. But, Miss Knuth remonstrated, Kaiser didn't like to cancel Pullman reservations himself in wartime, so it was ar ranged that he was to telephone all the way back from Chicago to San Francisco and that Miller was then to phone Chicago to cancel them.
 Kaisers secretary then added the final straw.
 By the way" she said, have you got MT. Kaiser's streamliner reservations in the yellow cars? MT. Kaiser won't ride in anything except the yellow cars" Again Miller groaned. He pointed out that he had already put the Southern Pacific to great trouble and he couldn't bother them fur ther. But Kaisers secretary wae adamant. Her chief must ride in the yellow cars. What Kaiser had in mind was that gray Pullmans from the Overland Limited some times hooked on the Yellow Streamliner and he didn't want to ride in these gray cars.
 So the Southern Pacific finally sent a runner across the Bay to it's yards in Oakland on Saturday be- fore the train left to make sure that the train was made up so that MT. Kaiser's three connecting bed rooms were in a yellow car. Thus the Car of West Coast Shipbuild- ing finally moved majestically off to New York andlor Washington.

 There isn't anything I wouldn't do for Wallace" countered Hanne- gan, but I don't know what his strategy is. And I'm liable to get his wires crossed if I start work ing without any direction, from him.
 However, Hannegan, then in New York, was finally persuaded to tele- phone Wallace, also in New York, with the result that they had lunch, and Hannegan has been working hard for Wallace ever since.
 At dinner last week they ex- changed ideas on various things How to keep the Democratic Party liberal; how to make 60,000, ,00O jobs; how to streamline government agencies. Ex-Republican Wallace will consult staunch Democrat Hannegan on appointments to the Commerce Department though he won't be bound by Hannegan's advice.

LEND-LEASE LIES

By the rumors of Allied misuse of lend-lease are pretty much of old story most thinking citi- zens Lend-lease has been checked by congressional and military authorities Whatever abuses there have been have been indeed nfnitesima in relation to the magnitude of the program and certainly are un- important when considered in the light of what the lend-lease program has accomplished
 Most of these rumors and reports originated by someone hostile to the Allied cause. That they continue to circulate for any length of time does credit to the intelligence of those who pass them along. Of course, of the rumors fantastic that only fool would take stock in them. Others artfully conceived have the ring of plausibty and may gain some credence.
 The Toronto Star takes note of of these rumors and refutes them with the facts in each For instance, you may have heard that the British charge the United States high rental costs for arfeds in the British Isles. The fact is that the British have built 133 airfelds for at cost to themselves of $440,000,000, and have turned them to the United States end-lease without repayment
 Perhaps someone told you that U. S. lend lease exports to Great Britain had enabled that country to maintain an export trade at relatively high level during the The fact is that British export trade has declined far drastcally than accord ing to the U. s. Foreign Economic Administration Canada were able to buy all the butter they wanted only to find it bearing lend-lease label This tale obviously little more mplausble than most, is en- trely without basis Canada gets no butter on end- lease from the United States and pays for what butter

TRAIN GEAR KAISER

Busting, busy as a bee ship builder Henry Kaiser maintains two office employees in San Fran cisco to get railroad accommoda- tions for him and his staff. One of them recently got a call from Kaiser's secretary, Miss Edna Knuth.
 MT. Kaiser wants three single bedrooms on the next streamliner east. He also wants them adjoining and in the middle of the car. Will you get them please"
 The next streamliner is on Sun day. replied Fred Miller. one of the transportation men, and this is Friday. I don't see how I can possibly get them
 Just call the Southern Pacific and say that MT Kaiser wants them" Miss Knuth replied. Say that he must have them"
 Kaiser is one of the biggest shippers on the West Coast and the Southern Pacific is not un- aware of that. So, after consider able commotion, it finally side tracked some other people who had reservations and got ship mogul Kaiser his three connecting bedrooms on the streamliner to Chicago. Miller called back Miss Knuth to report. He also reported that he had three bedrooms out of Chicago on the Commodore Vanderbilt for New York.
 "Oh," replied Miss Knuth, MT Kaiser won't ride on the Commo-

 Miller groaned, but he got the New York Central on the phone. The Commodore Vanderbilt is one of the New York Central's crack trains, leaving Chicago at 2:30. But the Twentieth Century leaves at 3:30, and arrives at the same time. However, the New York Central somehow or other managed to find three connecting bedrooms on the Twentieth Century and Miller fin ally reported this victory to Kaiser's office.

with the last session of Congress. No legislation
is carried over from one session OF Congress to
the next.
That means new legislation must be intro
duced again in both the House and the Senate
After introduction of bills, they will have to run
through the usual procedure which includes re-
ferral to the appropriate committees, scheduling
of public hearings. reporting out for considera-

spectively, and being voted upon.
That as you know, is common procedure for
the bills which are successfully enacted into law.
Unlike many, however, FEPC legislation will be
fought each step of the way. The first step, the
easiest one. will be taken during January, when
bills to create a strong FEPC will again be in
troduced in both Houses of the National Legs-

A WHITE. NATIONAL PROBLEM

Mr. Edwards began. Extensively enough:
The problem of white and Negro relations in
the South Is nothing new II cannot be blamed
on Mrs. Roosevelt or the FEPC or even on Sid
ney Hillman as much loose talk would indicate
that some persons think they think 1t has

He went to show how Negro slavery

the SouthIby the invention of the cotton Gin and
the vast moftS TO cotton planters that ensued.
The qucst1n finally split the Union.
Those States Rights extremists who made the
Civil War Inevitable" continued Mr.. Edwards,
were the original advocates of the contention
that now hear often that Southcrners
alone, becajISc of their actual knowledge and
experience. ARE qualified to handle the Negro
problem They had their chance for 24l years
and failed They were bound to fail The facts
were against them and the facts are against their
recent imitators. The truth is that the problem
is not local problem Of tho South, and the prob
lem is not Negro problem; it is white and
Negro problem and national problem.

Not unfair eh? Not much No wonder the
court was unanimous in its decison These aux
iary unions have been the favorite device Of
AL internationals in dealing with Negroes.
Most Of the craft unions, and especially the
metal trades department, use them. Under
closed shop contracts the union bargains for all
the members, but the Negro members are not
given the same rights, privileges and protection
given white members although they pay the
same dues.
The California supreme court has said merely
that where a union has obtained monopoly
on employment through closed shop agree
rent, ii may not discriminate against workers
because OF color. Either that or il must give up
the closed shop.
The effect of this decision will be felt widely

curity.7-/

A JUDICIAL MURDER

Mr. Edwards continued:
AT this very time We the people OF Dallas,
arc in the process Of sharing in the judicial muir
der of young Negro named Akin. | do not
want any of his blood on my hands and so far as
! can ! propose TO protest against what we are
doing. That man was tried, convicted. and
probably will be elcctrocutcd because he is
Negro. II he were not black he would be a free
man today. strictly in accordance with the laws
of Texas. But being a Negro, he is about to
be killed because white SoutherncrS do not
give Negro justice know IL and you know ii.
The judges know IT, and the prosecutors, and
the jurors and the newspapers and they al
keep their mouths discrcctly shut conserving to
the death
1t seems TO me that when white people, with
