LABOR'S STAKE ABROAD
By sfor the

agreements w hich interfere with
foreign trade. 1t must not ignore the
control Of important raw materials by
American or foreign capital which
prevents access to these materials by
small or impoverished nations.
Nor must we allow businessmen
who oppose the extension of public
enterprise for full employment at
home after the war to offer imperial
ism, foreign loans, and artifcially
stimulated exports as a substitute.
Getting full employment that way
means a third world war.
We must investigate the trade,
capital, and employment potentialities
of all nations and make an interna--
tional economic plan in the interest
Of small nations as we'll as large, and
for the welfare of workers and farm
ers as we'll as businessmen.
In this series it would be impossible
to present complete labor plan for
world peace An attempt will be
made, however, to cover some of the
essentials of such a plan. The proper
trade policies will be discussed first.

Business Groups Beck Lobor's Sfond
On Higher Jobless Poy Standards

In one particular the report, pre-
pared by Associate Professor Richard
A. Lester of Duke University, differ
ed with labor's views. 1t recommended
that the States make these changes,
whereas the AFL has long advocated
the establishment of a uniform sys-
tenn for the entire country to be set
up by the Federal Government.
The c. E. d. report said:
Unemployment compensation, as
the chief means for providing for
workers during the transition, should
have its coverage extended and its
benefits increased. Coverage should
be extended to include Federal agency
employees, workers in Federal ship
yards, arsenals, etc, merchant sea
men and workers in firms with fewer
than eight employees"
Prof. Lester also recommended that
"those States which have not already
done so increase their schedules to
permit maximum benefits of $40 a
week for 26 weeks"

it enough to condemn the feeble posi-
ton taken by our State Department.
We need forceful leadership to de-
velop and carry out effective peace
plans. The United States is now the
strongest nation in the world, but
that strength imposes upon US the
greatest responsibility for the main
tenance Of world peace. We must not
repeat the mistake of the last war
and lapse again into isolationlsm
when our leadership is most needed;
and thus condemn still third gen

Peace planning is based mainly on
economic planning. 1t should begin at
home. 1t is automatic that nations are
not warlike if they are prosperous,
with ample employment in domestic
peacetime industries and high real
wages. Such countries can assume a
generous attitude toward other ma
tions, buy substantially of their goods,
export capital to them, and generally
assist in increasing their economic and
social well-being. If, after 1918, every
nation had earnestly set about to in
crease the economic welfare of its
workers, farmers, and business men
by domestic economic planning, they
would have created the basis of last
ing world peace. The League of Ma
tions could then have provided the
international economic planning which
would have insured peace.
Moralistic finger-shaking at power
politics is good as far as it goes, but
it does not go very far. American la
Dor must have an economic plan for
the postwar world. 1t must insist
that the government present such a
plan to the rest of the world and fight
for it vigorously The plan must pro-
vide for an international monetary
fund to steady trade balances, an in
ternational investment bank to lend
capital for relief and economic recon-
struction, progressive reduction OF
tariffs and other trade barriers so
that these nations may repay their
loans by exporting goods and serv-
ices, and an International economic
board which will work out plans for
sharing raw materials and food sup
plies of the well-endowed with the
less well-endowed nations.
The State Department must not
become the tool of business interests,
assisting in the export of various
kinds of durable goods and under
writing foreign loans which cannot be
repaid because the tariff will not ad-
NIT the goods by which they can be
repaid. 1t must not ignore the cartel

$4,000 Workers

New York City (ILNS) A drive to
recruit $4,000 workers for Navy yards
and private shipyards, sponsored by
the Navy and the War Manpower
Commission, was launched with the
commissioning of a "shipyard work
ers' caravan" at the New York Navy
Yard, Brooklyn.
The caravan, consisting Of 5 trail
ers and an Army "duck," carrying
employment interviewers, entertainers
and anti-aircraft gun displays, will
be stationed at important traffic
centers during the next several weeks.
Emphasizing the need for thou
sands of skilled and unskilled workers
to repair fighting and merchant ships,
recruiting speeches were delivered at
the commissioning ceremonies by
Under-secretary of the Navy Ralph
A. Bard, Mrs. Anna Rosenberg, re-
gional War Manpower Commission
director, and Mayor La Guardia.

PEACE PLANS

The United Nations are building
the foundations of third world war.
AS they put the finishing military
touches upon the Axis, they are at
the same time carving out spheres OF
influence in Europe and engaging in
competitive power politics, the age
old cause of wars. Unless interna-
tional peace plans are promptly
formulated to substitute for these
selfish tendencies we cannot look for
ward to a lasting peace.
Labor has the greatest stake in
peace. Labor's voice has already been
heard in protest. But protests against
the attempts of Great Britain and the
U. S. S. r. to control the liberated
countries in order to further imperial
istic interests are not enough. Nor is

therhOod leaders declared: "This con-
certed movement will aid the war ef-
fort by correcting present day in
equities which hamper the recruit
ment and best possible use of railroad
manpower. At the same time, it will
help lay the basis for stabilizing post
war working conditions in the occupa-
tions represented by our organiza-
tions."
Twenty-one of the 81 points are
rules proposed by the Engineers and
Trainmen. In addition, the Engineers
are balloting on 2 rules affecting only
their membership, and the Trainmen
are considering IA separate rules.
The two brothefhoods, with COM
bined membership of approximately
100000 are seeking, among other
things, time and one-half for over

anteed daily minimum allowance for
all regular, extra and unassigned EN-.
ployees, annual sick leave with pay,

at the away-from-hom terminals
after II hours.
In addition, the Engineers are seek
ing more compensation for engineers
and motormen operating motor or
electric cars in multiple unit passen-
ger service, while the Trainmen are
proposing 8 rules designed to improve
the working conditions of yardmas-
ters. At the same time, the B. r. I.
is endeavoring to fix the basic pay in
passenger service as 100 miles or
less, 5 hours or less, instead of the
present rule of $50 miles or less.

pointing out that "this is the mini
mum program for meeting the ac-
cumulated need" He described the
AFL housing plan as "the least ex-
pensive, the most productive and the
most powerful generator of postwar
employment"
Shishkin testified that the AFL
program "can be brought into high
gear within 5 years after the cessa-
tion of hostilities when it would yield
nearly 2la million jobs at the con-
struction site alone. The full opera
tion of the program would bring en-
ployment to 6R million workers di-
rectly engaged in the production and
handling of building materials as well
as the building itself"
Other Big Markets Seen
He pointed out that "the construC-
tion of the minimum of 1h million
units year would also create a vast
market in household equipment, ap-
pliances and home furnishings suf-
ficient to yield each year at least 10
million full-time jobs directly depend
ent on the provision of such new
housing"
"Included in the AFL 1O-point pro-
gram submitted by Bates are the fol-
lowing major proposals:
A set of far-reaching measures
designed to stimulate, expand and
safeguard home ownership, including
amendments of laws governing FHA
mortgage insurance, to (a) reduce in
terest rates; (b) extend amortization
to 32 years; (c) make possible pre-
payments on homes; (d) safeguard
the homebuyer's investment in cases
of default due to unemployment or
other causes by allowing in such cases
a temporary moratorium on pay
ments so that the lapsed payments
could be met by lengthening the life
of the mortgage; (e) protect against
deficiency judgments; (f) assure
soundness of construction through
compliance with firm minimum stand
ards, making noncompliance subject
to redress or penalties; CD require
that not less than prevailing wages
be PAID on all nome construction SUD-
ject to FILA insurance.
Slum Clearance Asked
Resumption and expansion of slum
clearance and rehousing program of
the Us S. Housing Authority to pro-
vide decent homes to families of low
income whom private enterprise can
not reach. This program should
achieve an annual rate of 100000
dwelling units year to be built un-
der local programs of properly consti-
tuted local housing authorities. To
perfect the slum clearance and low
rent housing program provision
should be made for greater reliance
by the local housing authorities on
private financing instead of federal
borrowing.
Provision for mutual home owner
ship by wage earners under proper
safeguards where employment stabil-
ity is assured. Assistance and guild
ance in this development should be
provided by the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority. Mutual home owner
ship of permanent war housing prof
ects occupied by war workers should
be made Immediately possible.
