ing here May II and 18, the American

Labor's executive committee acted
upon numerous current and postwar
problems, including support of War
Bond campaigns, Office Of Price Ad-
ministration, American Red Cross,
workers in wartime and peacetime in
dustries, and other official business.
The committee urged education of
youth until they reach military age,
along lines of health, physical develop
ment and vocational training. For
men and women who desire to make a
career in the armed services the COM
mittee urged doubling the present pay
for all grades in military service to
make it more attractive.

agencies addressed the gathering. A
date for the next convention was con-
sidered and it was planned to hold one
as soon as practicable after VJ-Day.

British Women Sail
Inland Barges

New York City (ILNS).-Barges
operating on British inland water
routes will soon be under the COM
mand of British women, the Interna-
tional Transport Workers Federation
reports.
The plan for training women vol
unteers for the operation of barges
sailing on the Leeds and Liverpool
Canal has already been introduced
and women are now undergoing a 2
months training course. The instruc-
tion course will include the operation
OF a barge, handling of cargo, and the
operation of diesel engine and navi-
cation. While learning the "ropes"
of seafaring, the women will live on
the barges.
After their training is completed,
each team Of 2 women will be given
control of barge employed in the
transport of essential war cargoes.
A minimum wage Of 8 pounds week
is guaranteed, but it is expected that
they will earn more money.

And presently the Germans will be
yelping for babies and resorting to
national policies to promote baby pro-
duction. Japan will do the same, of
course.
And, it may be fairly expected, most
of these babies will be raised in a good
deal of ignorance and in a good deal
of poverty. In short, they will be
the kind of babies who will be good
material for moulding to the propa-
gandists' desires-another crop of inn
beetle mentalities capable of obe-
dience but not capable of dreaming
for, daring for and fighting for de-
mocracy and the rights and privileges
that are supposed to go with democ-
racy.
You might find it very well worth
while to spend buck and read what
these two men have to say about the
Importance of populations to makers
of war.
1t is contended by these writer's that
to maintain democracy there must be
citizenship intellectual capacity cap
able of keeping power in the hands of
the people-capable of preventing
few from grabbing supremacy and rum
ming away with it, leaving the masses
in more or less subjugation
We have had some nearly dangerous
examples in the United States, with
out going abroad. Huey Long, in Loui-
siana, gave us one example. He did a
great job Of talking about sharing
the wealth, all the while grabbing it
in, instead. You probably get the
point.
Now, over the long haul, there are
peoples that can be duped or doped
for time, but who will recover and
gain back their liberties. There are

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatehet We tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes aippantly, some
times recklessly.

Some of the comments on how to
make world peace secure thing are
sheer comedy. Some are tragic in
their ignorance of basic things.
There are lot of things that have
to go into whatever kind of structure
is to make peace secure matter.
Guy Irving Burch and Elmer Pen
dell have written book which has a
foreword and sign-off by Walter B.
Pitkin that provokes lot Of think
ing. 1t is called Population Roads
to Peace of War" In paper binding
it costs dollar; in cloth two dollars
The Population Reference Bureau
1907 M. Street, N. w., Washington,
D. c., publishes the little book.
The book digs into the question OF
population cause and effect, with some
conclusions that are just bit shock
ing.
If you think back through your study
of history you will know that repeat
edly population enlargements and
shiftings have caused wars. These au-
thors think that if we don't pay some
realistic and intelligent attention tt
population questions we probably are
looking another war in the teeth.
One current fact Of much import.

tention, is Gen. De Gaulle's call fol

If they are stuck at that point they
are stuck for keeps and at all points.
It is no reflection on the good peo-
pie Of Rumania, for example, to say
that if the average Of the Rumanian
thinking ability-and their average
ability to feed and house themselves
well had been like that Of, for ex-
ample, New York, or Iowa, or Cali
fornia, the crooked royalty of Ru-
mania would have been dumped out
long before Carol ever got to be
king.
These authors point out the inn

portance of food and housing on the
doings Of populations and the rulers
OF populations. The ability of ma
tions to feed populations is limited,
definitely, in spite of everything in
genuity and invention can do.
These writer's declare that WE
shall feed host Of future European
sub-normals, growing up to create
fresh war problems.
Meybe they are as wrong as wrong
can be. There are lots of other factors
to be counted up in the problems of
keeping the peace. But they make you
think, anyway.-CMW.

others that get duped, or doped, and
just stay that way, because they lack
the mental and physical abilityto even
want to struggle against domination.
You first must want to struggle be-
fore you can really get going.
The creation and maintenance Of
democracy, of freedom, Of the So
called rights of man, call for think
ing in big terms. Peoples can't think
in big terms unless they have the
brain capacity and the intellectual
ability to think that way.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS ONE?

They are having a lot of fun in Washington coming jokes
on the irrepressible and, from our particular point of view,
magnificent Missourism of Harry Truman.
For example, they are saying that Mr.. Trumans appoint
ments cover a wide range. He appoints 'em from the east and
he appoints 'em from the west. The ones from the east come
from st. Louis and the ones from the west come from Kansas
City.
To which we can only add that the nation is only now
making the belated discovery that Missouri is brilliantly en-
dowed with statesmen as well as mues:-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
