THE PREVENTION OF WAR

OUR NATION watched with greatest concern
- the recent sessions of the Council of Foreign
ministers in London and welcomed the report OF
our Secretary of State. Even though the confer
ence ended without agreement important and
urgent issues, we were relieved to know that
there had been no compromise of principles.
Unless international relations and institutions
are founded on justice and respect for the rights
of all nations we shall be unable to prevent wars
and to carry out the provisions of the Atlantic
Charter for which the United Nations pledged
themselves in the recent war Where appeasement
leads we know from our tragic experience OF the
Thirties, when democratic governments did not
insist upon principles in dealing with Hitler per-
mittng Nazi control to be imposed on nelghbor-
ing countries.
The first meeting of the Council was OBJ
viously exploratory and testing out OF motives.
From the next meeting we may expect agree
ments. 1t is obvious that the democratic forces
of the world need to mobilize their Influence to
reinforce our representatives who make decisions
on our behalf. TO enable us to function, our rep
resentatives should insist that the Council OF For
eign Ministers issue daily communlques and make
public Immediately all proposals and agreements.
Citizens OF many nations have made sacrl-
fices and given their lives for world peace and
Justice An obligation rests on to see to it that
our great purpose is not frustrated by secret
agreements or by compromising principles.
We can prevent war through the sincere CO.
operation Of all nations. We shall lose the peace
if we permit nations TO develop spheres OF nflu-
ence through control over other nations. The
United States has great economic and financial
resources which can be used to support democratic
principles. We must first help liberated peoples to
return to self-supporting basis and give them
opportunities for democratic way of life, SO that
the whole world may move forward to new levels
of prosperity. We need to do away with the bar
riers that separate natons-whether barriers to
trade or to free access to information. There must
be opportunity for free reporting of the news in
every country.
The spirit of the United Nations we hope to
create will be born of cooperation and nurtured
by understanding and goodwill.
1t cannot be nurtured by suspicion, intrigue
and doube-deang, the instruments of power pol
itcN employed to gain power over the lives of
others.
Our purpose is to make all free, with full re-
sponsbility for living in peace with all other ma
tions Of goodwill.

AFL HELPS VETERANS

LNARLY in 1915, The American Federation of La
- Dor launched countrywide program of assis-
lance to returning veterans The Labor League
for Human Rights joined in this emportant en-
deavor.
This program began with the formation of
veterans committees within AFL central bodies.
Primary duties were to help veterans find salts
factory employment and adjust themselves to civ
ilian life.
Today many of these committees maintain
offices within labor headquarters; others serve
i'll advisory capacities in centers sponsored by
Community Chests or municipal governments.
These AFL Labor League Committees have now
grown to maturity. Multiple contracts with re-
turnees has given them background for substan-
tia assistance. They are serving with great bene-
fit to the veteran and with outstanding credit to
themselves
The Labor League for Human Rights has
completed survey of observations by these COM
mittees embracing 81 cities in % states. The sur
vey shows that the major need of millions now
receiving discharges is essentially the same as
the thin stream of returnees several months ago.
Happily the survey specifically reveals that
the committees have been successful in placing
thousands of veterans not previously members of
unions on jobs they desired. This favorable situa-
tion has resulted because of the liberal policies of
most AFL unions in extending full membership
rights to veterans without cost To the uniform
ed this might appear trivial gesture, but in most
cases the gratuitious membership is generous
presentation of union services.
Half of the 12000,000 members of the armed
forces have been demobilized. This leaves huge
numbers yet to return. To help them select a suit
able trade or occupation will be challenge each
cannot fail to meet, and will require
the cooperation of all interested agencies
