The Parliament
of Man
BY RUTH TAYLOR

THE Parliament of Man is now
convened in continuing and con
slant session without rules of order,
limitations of debate, or privilege
of the house, and those who refuse
to take account of its proceedings
may wake up to find that it's pro-
ceedings have taken no account of
them"
These words were written some
time ago by Archibald MacLeish.
They are given new significance
by the events of recent weeks.
We are living at a moment in
history when the nature of our
civilization is unusually fluid, I'M
usually capable of being nodded
in a new direction. All too soon it
will crystalize. Therefore, it is i'm
portant that we take full advantage
of this opportunity to assure the
birth of the world for which we
have hoped and of which we have
III SdlllGu.
1t is time for far-reaching plans
and for hard and constructive work
20 put those plans into effect. It is
a time for men who are willing tc
lead and to take responsibility, who
Will put the interests of their fellow
men before their own personal am
billions. The Parliamentary of Man
does not select any one group-it is
ALL men, no matter what their
race or creed or nationality or oc-
cupation.
Neither as individuals or as q
nation will it be possible for us tc
stand aside and keep out of the
stream of traffic. In a world thai
is daily growing smaller, we can
not avoid being affected by wha'
happens to III neighbors.

WORLD OR NONE"

Many OF the scientists VINO had
a hand in fashioning the atom
bomb have issued a challenging
statement under the title "One
World or None" In substance,
they say to the statesmen" who
govern the world: UNLESS you get
rid of war, these atomic discov-
cries may be the end of civiliza-
ton"
Of course, everything humanity
possible should be done to stop
that store of thing, but we think
the title of the scientists pamphlet
is unnecessarily alarming.
The atom bomb is a fearsome
thing, but it won't destroy civiliza-
ton. 1t will inflict plenty of suf-
fering on peoples of all lands, but
somehow they will survive. There
is something in human beings
which enables them to do that

THE WAR is OVER -
STOP KILLING.

The people of the United States
shuddered when they learned
1890 Americans had been killed
in 80 days of desperate fighting at
OkinaWa.
The National Safety Council re-
ports that g. 500 Americans were
killed by traffic accidents here at
home in 1945.
Those 28,5OO Americans did not
die in defense of a great cause.
Their sacrifice did nothing to help
their country. They were slaugh-
tered by carelessness.
There is only n sure way to
stop this peacetime carnage on the
streets and highways: Enforce the
laws against speeding and reck-
less driving; enforce them by day
and night, year in and year out,
without politics and without mercy
on offenders.

Americu-Lund of Plenty

In 1914, a war year and one c" Unprecedented prosperity in Amer
lea, approximately 100000 families and persons living in cities re-
ceived less than 81 900 income for the year.
Another 100000 families and single persons, mostly families, had

We need not look to China, o n India, or South America for export

With more money in their pockets, poor families will buy more

BLACK GOLD

Speaking to the Federal Council
of Churches at Columbus, Ohio,
President Truman denounced
greed for gold" Maybe it's a bit
carping to criticize a speaker for
using a time-tried phrase, but
greed for gold' is out of date in
the United States. Try to get it,
But there's "black gold" as the
boys call oil.
Seems there's plenty of greed for
black gold in Washington - and
Truman would not have to walk
very far from the White House, if
at all, to find men eaten up with
that greed.
Truman inherited from the
Roosevelt Administration a greasier
outfit than the slickers who made
a sucker out of Harding.-United

that Great Britain delivered sup
plies worth SLIP, 600, 900 to Rus
STA between Oct. l, 1941, and
March 81, 1916.
Of the total, military supplies
amounted to $1,232,OOO 900, Attlee

Attlee said Britain sent Russia
5,210 tanks and TALL planes. OF
the tanks, 1888 originally came

Employees, r e t different
types of leadership. Mr.. Reuther
has just led a prolonged but sue
cessful strike; Mr.. McFetridge is
proud that in 43 years Chicago
J%anltors have never had a strike.
Yet when Mr.. Reuther insists that
unions must consider price and
profit questions, as we'll as wages.
he expresses in a broader way the
same sense of responsibility which
Mr.. McFetridge feels.
R. j. Thomas, former U.A.W
president, in ks the Reuther
ideas are ''hi-falutin'." John L.
Lewis has never objected to get
ting a wage increase by helping
the mine n gouge the con
sumner with higher prices. But Mr.
Reuther says that wage increases
thus paid are not in the public
interest. He thinks that the cost
of living, as we'll as wage levels,
must be Of concern to unions, and
he also knows that a good" con
tract is of little value if, because
of a general depression, the wage

REALLY BIG WAR CRIMINALS ESCAPE

The so-called war crimes trials in Germany and Japan threaten
to become immense fopS.
From Toxic comes the report that Kiyoshi Gogo, former president
Of Mitsubishi heavy industries, has been released because of lack of
evidence. Some weeks ago the same thing happened at Nurnberg. The
court was told that Krupp, the chief of the concern which did 81 much
to put Hitler in power and to make the weapons with which Hitler
assailed the world, was sick" and, therefore, could not stand trial The
judges obigingy complied, despite the protest of Justice Robert H.
Jackson, chief American prosecutor.
Also from Toxic comes the story that Prince Morimasa Nashimoto,
member of the imperial family, is also released because of lack of
evidence" In the European area, we find King Victor Emmanuel, who
eagerly colaborated with Mussolini for more than 20 years, living in
luxury n efforts are being made in London, and possibly by Wash
lngton, to boost his son or his grandson to the vacant throne.
These events emphasize the question: What must a ma do in order
to become a war criminal? Why make S o much noise over the execution
of a general, here or there, if the big fellows are to escape?-Labor.

When Farmers Strike

When workers strike for better wages and better working condi-
lions, the press is full of the news.
But when farmers strike for higher prices, nothing is said, and
today on of the most vicious strikes in the world is under way in these
United States-a strike fomented and maintained by the farmers of
the nation.
Recognizing the extreme scarcity of grains, the farmers, with their
bins loaded to capacity, are refusing to sell, waiting for higher prices
which they know scarcity brings.

dusty during dry spells, due to the
absence of treated surfaces, and he
should be reconciled to hordes of

come by screens and insecticides.
Conditions along the highway as
reported to the AAA last May are
summed up this way: ON the
whole, the Alcan Highway is very
good and not to be feared if your
car is in good shape"
Amplifying, the report continues:
The highway is for the most part
gravel, and aside from about 300
miles, it is hard-packed and fairly
smooth; slightly 'washboard' in
places, but not bad. Of the approx
mately 300 miles of fair road. most
of it is rough due to construction
and repair work, where some loose
gravel and crushed rock are encoun-
tered. Fifty miles per hour can be
in many places. There
are very few hills that cannot be
made in high gear. All curves and
hills are well marked. but warning
signs should be needed"

road specifically as follows:
