1t is coercion in several
aspects.
For example, a new man
coming to work is told that he
must join the union. lie has
no choice of a bargaining agent
here. He is coerced by the
boss in collision with the
union.
For another example, a union
man in a maintenance OF MEN,
berShip shop obligates himself
10 keep up his membership for
a certain period. That is an
affair between him and the
union in which the boss prop
erly should have no voice.
But the War Labor Board,
in the Ward case. as in many
others where the employers
have weakly submitted, insists
that the employer must fire any
man who drops his membership.
Wards says no, because that
would be an illegal interference
with the workers right TO
choose or discard a bargaining
agent.

4 T THE height of the Ameri-
"A can battle with Won Rund-
Stedt'S armies in the ArdenneS
there are renewed expectations
of a mighty Russian offensive
that will extend all the way
from Latvia and East Prussia
across Poland
In the resistance to the Rus
slams in Hungary there are not
merely German divisions, but
whatever remains of the once
proud hungarian army.
The Magyars are the strong
est fighting allies of Germany
and we must expect their resist
ance 10 continue after Budapest
falls.
OBVIOUSLY. after their first
" assaults on the German po-
sitions on the Vistula River,
north and south of Warsaw,
the Russians had doubts of
their strength, and transferred
their activity to the Balkans.
But unless they can cross the
NiStula and outflank East Prus-
STA from the south, ] regard the
position of that province in
German hands as impregnable.
To the German mind East
Prussia is associated with their
greatest and most romantic MS
torlcal traditions.
The reports that the Allies
have agreed that their "uncon-
ditional surrender" will mean
the total loss of East Prussia
must infuriate them 10 the
most desperate battle.
And apart from what East
Prussia has meant in German
history, its military position is
very strong.
ON the east, facing Russia, IL
is defended by a mass of lakes
called the MaZurian, and be-
tween the two most important
of these is the great fortress of
LoctZen.
From these lakes northward
for another 80 miles, through
GumbInnen or through lnstur-
burg to TilSet, on the Memcl
River, the Germans are I'M
doubtodly prepared and WI
fight with stubborn skill.
North OF East Prussia lie
parts Of the republics OF Lith-
uanla and Latvia, which have
not been captured by the Rus
sian armies.
Further progress in this
northeastern salient of Ger
many looks dubious tor the Red
armies.

C0mphshed elsewhere.

TNHE questions are not really
Il dehatable but discussion of
the dispute between Montgom-
cry Ward and the War Labor
Board should help people 10
understand what the Roosevelt
government has been doing 10
them for its own political pur-
poses under cover of the war
emergency and with a pretense
of serving the national interest.
The board ordered Ward 10
grant maintenance-of-member-
ship and the dues checkoff TO a
union claiming TO represent the
, workers.
The real issue here is whether
the company has a right, much
less a legal duty, TO co-erce It's
employees in their choice Of
collective bargaining agent.
The Wagner Act forbids such
coercion and provides penalties
for violation.
There have been some gro
tesque interpretations OF the
meaning and substance OF CO.
ercion.
TIiE employer cannot even
Il discuss unionism with indi-
viduals or harangue a group in
his own factory. He can argue
unionism only with accredited
bargaining agents who may be
total strangers from some other
city and, incidentally. for all
that the law provides to the
contrary. may be thieves and
thugs or avowed Communists.
Oddly, however. although the
boss is forbidden to discuss
unionism with the help, in prac-
tice he is encouraged TO do so
IL he speaks in favor of II.
Technically. this, too. Is coer-
cion, but all the Roosevelt
agencies dealing with labor re-
lations violate or waive laws in
the interests Of their political
iiellNtllIltIl III NilI uliloll HWY
ment So this sort of violation
is encouraged.
In New York a Russian
Communist producing secret
gear for the government and
pouring his large profits into
Communist revolutionary ac-
tivities, openly consorts with
the help and the representa-
tives of the union which is con-
trolled by the Communists.
They all say he is an en-
lightened, progressive employer
and model whereas. in fact,
he and the union agents are
members of the same con-
spiracy and working toward
the same end, communism.
OF COURSE the closed shop,

elon, too, but nevertheless is

WORLD IN REVIEW
= By Mai. Gen. David Prescott Barrows

The first will be that Stain
has gained that large part of
Poland which he intends TO
annex TO Russia and counts
upon Allied victory to put him
in possession of the Baltic
states; that he feels that the
Russian armies have suffered
enough, and that America and
Great Britain must bear the
remaining losses of the war;
and, finally, and this accords
with long Russian tradition, he
does not propose to win terri
tory for other nations than his
own.
To attribute such an attitude
TO Stain at this time is TO
charge hin with a kind of
sullen cyniciSm, with realism
as that terms used and ad-
mired today.
But there is another reason,
that would not be discreditable
TO Stain or to the Russian
armies.
It is that Russia is exhausted;
that the long effort to drive the
German armies out Of the
Ukraine effected such "attri-
ton" 10 their own forces that
they are no longer capable of a
general, sustained military
effort.
This is what the German
generals intended in their long,
slow retirement.
They may have succeeded.

correspondent reveals, GREAT BRITAIN and
RUSSIA agreed upon the lately announced tate
of Poland.
ut is quite clear now" Mr. Daniel reported,
that in Tehran, MR. CHURCHILL and NIX:
STAIN divided EUROPE into spheres OF
BRITISH and RUSSIAN influence -.
"But nobody told THE POLES that Britain
was on Russia's side in the frontier dispute and
that THE UNITED STATES WOULD HOLD IT'S

CHURCHILL AND PREMIER STAIN HAD
REACHED AN UNDERSTANDING AT
TEHRAN
"Mr. Roosevelt's part in the deal at Tehran is
NOT QUITE CLEAR.
ut appears that he was NOT PRESENT at
the time when Premier Stain and Mr.. Churchill
reached THEIR UNDERSTANDING on the d.
vision of the Balkans and the partition of Poland.
"But Mr.. Churchill has said that at NO TIME
has Mr.. Roosevelt indicated that he would
NOT go along
- In other words, at the secret eonclave at
Tehran there was NO AMERICAN "FOREIGN
POLICY except insofar as CHURCHILL and
STAIN IMPOSED POLICY UPON US.
The Soviet-British deal as to Poland meant,
of course, that Russia would keep the Polish terri
tory which was first occupied by the Red army
in 1889 under Stains agreement with Hitler and
would dominate the rest Of the dismembered
country.
A THIRD dispatch published by the Times on
"A Dec II was from Herbert L. Matthews at
Rome, and discussed the ordeal of the late
BALTIC republics which Russia has completely
annexed as conquering power
This dispatch quoted Representative Polish
and Baltic colonies" in Rome as viewing the
Brtish-Russian deals as death knell" for their
countries and depicted Lithuanians and Estonians
at a luncheon toasting Americans with the bitter
words
''We drink to you from the grave"
Implicit in all Of these Times dispatches, and
very explicit in one of them, is the conclusion that
the Atlantic Charter-which supposedly was the
basis of Mr.. ROosevelt's foreign policy" during
the election campaign-had even then been totally
lost in the concealed melee of power politics"
1t is truly ironic that the New York Times,
having committed itself less than two months ago
to Mr.. Roosevet's fourth-term candidature be-
cause of his foreign policy" should now when
the election is over be compelled by sheer circum-
stances to make these belated and disilusioning
disclosures.

The HDapal Christmas Message

THE annual Christmas message ofPope Plus XII,
II II after taking full account of the desolation of
the civilized world in the midst of war; offered hope
and encouragement to the people of the world who
aspire to peace and freedom.
Out of the anguish of nations and people, he
said, there is arising AN AURA OF HOPE.
The people of the world, he believes, are learn
ing from the war to be more aggressive in oppos-
ing the concentration of dictotoridI polUer that
cannot be censured or touched. and call for Sys-
tenn of government in Keeping Nth the dig
nifty and liberty of the citizens.
More than that, he continues, the people of
the world have become convinced by the war
"that, had there been the possibility of censuring
and correcting the actions of public authority, the
Oorld tOould have been dragged into the Uortex
OF a disastrous rOor"
What is happening in the civilized world to-
day. he suggests, is a TENDENCY TOWARD DE.
MOCRACY, which is capturing the peoples and
thinning large measure of consent and support
from those Uho hope to play more efficient part
in the destinies of individuals and of society"
But there are many kinds of democracy, as
the Pope warns.
There is the GOOD kind which places the
citizen "eUer more in the position to hold his
personal opinion, to express it and to make ii pre-
UaI in fashion conductive to common good"
There is also the kind in which the masses of
the people become "on easy piaything in the hands
of any tOho exploits their instincts and impress
sions ready to follotO in turn, today this flag,
tomorrow another"
One is productive of society which reflects
the true honor of personal activity, of respect for
tradition and dignity"
The other reduces society to "Uictims deIuded
by the specious MIRAGE of democracy"
One is the true democracy which the anguished
world is seeking, which has had its highest de-
velopment in America
The other is a PERVERSION of democracy
which has been the bitter experience of other
nations where, as the Pope says, power has fallen
I'm the ambitious hands of one or of several Dho
haze been artfciolly brought together for selfish
aims.
The kind of democracy which all the world is
seeking and which America has so long and profit
ably possessed, Pope Plus earnestly counsels,
cannot haze any other origin than in personal
God, creator"
"H the future is to belong to democracy"
he reminds all the people of the world, "an
essential part in its achievement rOiH haze to be-
long to the religion OF Christ"
"The dignity of man." admonishes this signif-
cant Christmas message, "is the dignity OF the
moral community tOiiled by God.
"The dignity Of political authority is the
dignity deriving from, its sharing in the authority
{ Cod 7.Il
There has never been FAILURE of de.
locracy in all human experience.
There have only been failures of people to
perform the duties of democracy, which in their
essence are the acts of good morals and high ideals

she might have said candy. That's
the problem this year. Sugar is the
shortest it has been since the war.
But sweet nibbling is yours and
not a grain of rationed sugar re-

molasses; it's in the corn syrup; in
honey's gold; in the naples nee

sugar. And now isn't a minute too
early to make this sugarless fruit
roll to store in the refrigerator,
waxed-paper wrapped, waiting
for Thanksgiving.
HONEY FRUIT ROLL doesn't re-
ouire any cooking. Pour boiling
water over one-fourth cup each of
dried prunes, apricots, figs. Let
stand five minutes; then remove
water, drain and dry and run
through a food chopper with one
half cup dates and one-fourth cup
of raisins, using the fine knife.
Mix we'll with one-third cup of
honey, shape as loaf, wrap in
waxed paper; store in the refrigera-
tor until ready to use. Then butter
the hands, shape into balls and
roll we'll in chopped nuts; variety
of nuts your choice.
STUFF THE FRUIT and we mean
prunes, figs, raisins, not merely the
date. Stuff the fruit with candied
peels, candied ginger, maraschino

meats. Peanut butter mixed with
finely chopped orange peel is a

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (LPA)
Political action by the com

ployment, Vice-president Wal
lace declared last week in an
address to the American Statis-
tical Association.
Wallace emphasized that "in
actuality the common man
would have no guarantee of his
right to job unless he were
politically organized"
Recalling his statements dur
ing the election campaign, Wal
lace said that he had tele-
graphed FDR on Oct. % saying
that Your goal of 60,000,000
Jobs is perhaps high but l glory
in your daring and, as you say,
America can do the impossible. !"
"Jobs for ALL" declared Wal
lace, should and will be the
economic battle cry Of all the
world for the next 20 years.
''In the economy of the flu
ture," he continued, the only
true national deficit will be
labor unemployed The es-
sential idea is that the Federal
government is ultimately re-
sponsible for full employment
and can discharge its respon-
sibility only by planning in ad
vance,"

CIO Bid to 4FL
Rejected

WASHINGTON, December 26
(LPA)-Prospects of unity IN
the house of American labor
were given another setback last
week when AFL President Will
liam Green bluntly rejected a
CIO proposal ito forge a broad
program of action which can be
accepted by all members of the
American labor movement"
Acting on instructions of the
CIO convention in Chicago,
President Philip Murray declar-
ed in public letter to Green
that President Roosevelts pro-
gram for "a future of economic
security based on an economic
bill of rights and envisioning
100000 jobs, can and will be
achieved if the forces of labor
are modified"
Both branches of labor, he
continued, had a basis for com
mon action" in such problems
as social security legislation, re-
conversion, and anti-labor laws.
Green termed the Murray
proposal the same sort of
phoney, functional unity which
the CIO has often prated about
in the past. Our experiences
during this war have taught us
that it is impossible to maintain
united labor policies and pro-
grams at the top while division,
dualism and bitter discord con-
tinue in the field"
"The only way to achieve
unity is to unite organically,"
Green said. Green's rejection
was not in the form of an an
swering letter, but a public
statement.
