HOPES OF COMMON
PEOPLE HANG ON
SAN FRANCISCO MEET

SAN FRANCISCO FP) Hopes OF
the common people Of the world hang
in the balance as delegates of more than
30 United Nations meet to decide wheth-
er this generation, having waged the
worlds greatest war can do as well in
peace.
Every race, every tongue, every color,
every creed but fascisn is represented
as the nations debate the proposals of
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stain for an
international organization to nip aggres-
sion in the bud. to prevent wars and
to become a laboratory for the discovery
OF means to make a world where no one
will need or want to fight.
Proceedings of the opening sessions
are filled with the formalities and with
the presentation of the plans proposed
and already under worldwide discussion.
Little of the meat of the conference is
likely to come until objections, amend
ments, counter-prog gosals, have gone
through the mill of committee meetings
and come back for adoption or rejection.
Along with the committee meetings
and the formal debates here. discussions
are going on in every town and hamlet
in America and in the world.
Women's clubs. business clubs schools,
radio forums, newspapers, but above all
labor unions and their press are bring
ing the details of this proposed world
security organization to the common
people telling them how it is planned
not only to stop fighting but to prevent
it. Not only to prevent wars. but to
prevent their causes by working to Gre
ate a better living for the population of
the entire world.
Standing over the conference is the
figure Of The late President Franklin i.
Roosevelt. conceded the chief architect
Of the world peace plan But even
larger figures loom above the delegates.
the millions Of dead soldiers. civilian
workers children dead Of starvation, foes
of fascism tortured to death.
1t is not for the phony peace in our
time Of Munich that San Francisco
works 1t is for the peace for genera
tions that President Roosevelt sought.
Montana labor news., 1945-04-26

But, as everyone knows, the League Of
Nations didn't work It didn't prevent
Japan from invading China. 1t didn't
prevent Italy from taking over Ethiopia
It didn't prevent Hitler and Mussolini
from sending their military machines to
destroy democratic Spain.
It didn't prevent the Nazis from
marching into Austria, Czechoslovakia.
Poland Belgium, Denmark, France. It
didn't prevent the bombing of Britain
it didn't prevent the killing of five mil
lion Russians, it didn't prevent Pearl
Harbor It didn't prevent World War H.
What are the chances that the United
Nations organization proposed at DUN
barton Oaks and being chartered at san
Francisco may succeed where the League
failed? In World War I, the Allies
waited until it was all over before set
ting up the League Then. it was tied
into the complicated mechanisms Of the
peace treaties, the public had no chance
to discuss 1t in advance and there was
little chance Of agreement from the
peglnhlng'
This time the Big -Four Of the United
Nations did not wait until the end of
the war to start building the peace.
They have already met again and again
and reached am agreement. not tied in
with the peace treaties, in plenty Of time
for people to discuss it and make their
will known.
The old League lacked the power to
enforce peace. The new organization
viii have the power to prevent situations
that might cause war and the armed
strength to stop ain aggressor nation if
war breaks out.
The Security Council will be in con
tinuous session and not Just meet occa-
sionany as the League did. Tt viii call
its machinery into action when any stu
alton arises anywhere in the world that
might threaten the peace of a nation
The League provided for action against
an aggressor only when war had already
broken out when it was already too late
10 do much about it.
once aggression had started, the old
League had no effective weapons to stop
it. The Security Council of the new or
ganization is to have at its disposal air
force units of the United Nations for
immediate emergency action and can
call on land, naval and air forces of
member nations if all economic and dip
lomatic means fail.
The League had no means Of dealing
with the non-political problems that are
the main reasons why nations go to war.

resentng mines mills. smelters and re-
fineries. informed WPB at meeting
here, WPB officials reported
Chief among the recommendations
made by the committee for meeting
manpower needs and increasing produc-
tion were: OD Increase wages to the
levels prevailing in other industries in
the area with a greater increase to the
lowest paid group; % Work a seven
day week for the period of the emer-
gency; t3) Provide recreational facin-
ties in the mining camps C4) Make spe-
cial allowances for gas and tire for the
miners who are living in mining camps
100 miles or more from the nearest city;
90 Revitalize labor management COM
mittees.
AFL and CIO representatives urged
that government agencies recognize the
effects Of postwar insecurity on pro-
duction today They explained that
men going to work in the copper mines
face the possibility OF being isolated in
a mining camp with no other work to
turn to, if mining is cut down They
therefore urged that postwar prospects
and plans be presented to the workers in
the copper industry They suggested
that promise of severance pay or trans
portation might help bring new workers
to the copper mines.

TRUMAN REPORT
PRAISED
LABOR'S RECORD

WASHINGTON tFPl-A little over a
year ago. Harry s. Truman signed a
report of a Senate committee bearing
his name saying that the war produc-
ton record of American workers is an
astounding performance that exceeds
anything of it's kind ever achieved ia
the history Of the world The results
obtained are the best answer to the
critics of the home front"
The Truman committee report also
opposed national service legislation, call
ing instead for more efficient use of
available manpower, for an end to waste
in it's present use, for proper ALLEGATION
of materials and contracts.
Touching on the charges that there
were large number of strikes in min
ing, manufacturing and construction, 8"
the Truman report SAID that in l943 they
resulted in a loss of manpower Of less
than one-fourth of one per cent Of the
manpower actually used, whereas the
manpower contributed by labor in that
period exceeded that used in 1889 by
76qo."
Truman also hit hard at the profit
situation, pointing out that profits had
reached staggering sums since 1899, even
after taxes and after renegoHation Of
contracts.
OF the 100 u. S. corporations doing
the most war business, the Truman re-
port said, "only nine have been found
free of excessive profits in 1912. twelve
firms upped their profits ten times, l8
increased them three times, and -
Which had operated at deficits had prof
its ranging from one to 10 millions dol
lars"
The report said that renegotiation of
contracts had kept some of the more
flagrant cases down from fantastic in
creases, such as one case in which prof
its were up 172 times the pre-war level
of the company.

THE WHY'S OF A
MEDICAL HEALTH
INSURANCE PLAN

For the interest Of our readers the
following item on health and medi-
cal insurance is printed A short
article on this subject will be printed
each week until the subject has been
covered. This is the eighth Of such
articles.
Question Would a health insurance
program permit free choice Of doctor?
Answer The system should guar
antee at least as much freedom as there
is now for the patient to choose his doe
tor from among those available in the
community Absolute freedom of choce
does not exist now, however Some
doctors are too busy or too far away or
too specialized to be available to every
one who may ask for their serfices.
Question-Win the insurance program
destroy the personal relationships be-
tween physicians and patients?
Answer-No. On the contrary. the re-
moval of the economic barrier between
physician and patient will acually en-
courage and foster this relationship. If
families consult their doctor in the early
stages Of illness without fear of costs,
and are encouraged by the absence of a
fee to go to him regularly for preventive
services and advice they viii have a far
better chance to establish satisfactory
personal and professional relationships
with them than they do now.
Question-Will physicians receive ade-
quate income under an insurance sys-
tenn?
Answer-Yes. The remuneration Of
physicians under an insurance program
would be more nearly adequate than it
is under present circumstances. The in
surance system would probably prevent
the extremes in income which now char
acterize medical practice What is more
physicians incomes will be far more
regular and predictable than at present
Question-Will the insurance program
permit free choice of hospitals?
Answer: Yes The insurance program
will in no way interfere with the present
and customary procedures used by pa
uents or their doctors in the selection
Of hospital All qualified hospitals can
look forward to being free and able to
participate in the insurance program
The standards that are likely to be
adopted for the approval of participat-
ing hospitals, would be such as to assure
that the hospitals are equipped to give
basic services Of satifactory quality
Indeed, by removing economic barriers.
insurance would probably provide great
er freedom Of choice than the average
individual now can exercise.
