War Service of MIRA
'To build that new world, they
continue, twill take the same faith,
courage and sacrifice that we are
fighting with on the battle front and
breaking all records with on the pro-
duction front -.
Leaders of American and world
labor are fighting in this battle for
the moral re-armament of the ma
tions. As editors of labor papers, we
are happy to introduce this timely
article reviewing the war service of
MIRA and how it is contributing to
the kind of postwar world that
every worker wants to see."
Between it's attractive red and
black covers, this handy pocket-size
booklet carries pictures, stories and
news from many countries of MRA's
work in strengthening the democra-
cies and inspiring resistance in Nazi
occupied countries.
World Labor Unity
THE MARCH OF AN IDEA is
especially timely for labor now. 1t
shows world labor unity being built
on the sure foundation of moral
standards and caring for one another,
in place of the false and shallow
unity paraded by these forces who
appear to fight for the rights of
workers but whose real aim is to use
labor to get control for their own
ends. THE MARCH OF AN IDEA
shows how MIRA is creating the new
spirit we need to make loyal union
members, to build up the strength of
unions and to unite all of labor for
the difficult postwar years ahead.
Pictures of President William
Green and Philip Murray of the AFL
and CIO; the Honorable Walter Nash,
now Finance Minister in New Zea-
lands labor government and Chair
man of the 1914 LILO Conference; and
Lockheed shop stewards with a P3S
pilot, appear in the pages of THE
MARCH OF AN IDEA. John r.
Steelman's evaluation of MRA's es-
sential part in abor-management
teamwork is given in full.
President Carl j. Hambro of the
Norwegian Parliament is pictured
with Frank Buchanan, founder of
MIRA whose work, he says, "went be-
yond any expectations" Hambro at
tributes much of Norway's heroic and
successful resistance to the unity
brought to his country by MIRA.
The back cover of THE MARCH
OF AN IDEA is unique in itself. 1t
consists of red and black montage
of official programs of the conven-
tions of the American Federation of
Labor, Canadian Congress of Labor,
United Steel Workers of America, the
Trades and Labor Congress of Can
ada and other AFL, CIO, and UNIV
Unions and laoor- management COM
mittees that have presented the MIRA
program to their officers and thous-
ands of union members and their
families.
After seeing the MIRA industrial
drama, The Forgotten Factor" in
Washington, ID. c., Walter Nash said:
"If we are determined to walk along
the road the men and women showed
us tonight, the sacrifice of the war
will be worthwhile, and we will build
something better than ever built be-
fore.
