Benefits Doubted

from the Lincoln County News Dana riscott, Me
Whatever good thought may have been
behind the 20-25 offered the ex-seryice-
man under the CT bill it is proving one
of the worst benefits" ever provided by
our National Government
If that sounds too drastic-look
around you. How many veterans in
your neighborhood are sitting back TAX
ing the $40 week and not getting
started on job? How many more are
taking the $40 week and then earning
money on the side? What demoralizing
effect such an arrangement is having
on these veterans.
This isn't something the veteran
thought up-it was urged upon him by
paternalistic government "On the
job-training," education for those who
want and can aSsimilate it, both good
measures, but payment of $40 a week
for So weeks not to work-that's diff
ferent
No one deserves better break than
the veteran. The News has provided
opportunities to four veterans to date,
and it's a small business, but when it
comes to paying through taxes part of
the $40 week to some one who doesn't
want to work at a regular job for q
year or who is cheating by working
while collecting the $40 on the side-welI
that's another matter.
A few of the old-fashioned virtues of
self-respecting people could we'll be
brought back into play. Grafters are
grafters wherever you find them.

O1 all the provisions contained in the
Case bill, some Of which were much
needed, only one-the so-called Hobbs
antiracketeering bill-has been enacted
into law. So. with the aid of President
Truman, leaders Of organized labor have
been able to stave off any other changes
in the lopsided Federal labor laws.
Nothing has been done to make labor
unions more responsible, particularly
for living up to contracts that have
been entered into voluntarily through
collective bargaining Nothing has been
done to establish unfair labor practices
on the part of labor-although unfair
practices are particularly guarded
against on the part of management, and
written into law These are only few
OF the amendments to the existing laws
which seem particularly needed.
~
For years now Democratic admin
lstration has been able to ward off new
labor legislation, confident that in so
doing 1t would be able to perpetuate
itself in office. Only the Smith Con-
nally so-called antistrike law was put
through-a wartime measure whose
main effect seems to have been to give
Government seizure of struck plants
validity OF law. 1t was put through dur
ing the Roosevelt administration over la
Dor opposition. The country and the
Congress were at the time aroused over
stoppages in war industries. The Case
bill grew out of the indignation caused
by flood of strikes that were prevent.
ing reconversion to peacetime industry
and tying the country into bow knots.
Democratic President is now, how
ever. committed to an overhauling of
the labor laws. seemingly. The proposal
for study Of the labor laws and under
lying conditions that produce industrial
strife has been taken seriously by Con-
gress, even though it was used as an
excuse for the veto of the Case bill.
The opponents of any change in the
laws have, in reality. been given a
breathing spell. But sooner or later, It
now appears, something will be done.
1t may be that in the new Congress
political control Of the House and. per-
haps. of the Senate. will pass into Re-
publican hands. What this would mean
to the cause of improved labor legisla-
ton remains to be seen. The Democratic
leadership already is seeking to paint
the Republican party as antilabor-
which does not stand up under analysis
Republican leadership of necessity, If for
no other reason, would be as little likely
to interfere with the real rights Of Or
ganized labor as the Democrats.
What Is needed however, is some
curb on irreSponsibilitv of labor

Advice to Congress
By George Fielding Eliot

say, you should have foreseen all this.
They will say, that is what we sent you
to Congress for, because We thought you
were wise enough and clear headed
enough to have reasonable amount
of foresight. You have let us down.
and what is worse, you have let down
the poor tortured folk to whom you
have denied their last hope.
I am not saying, of course, that the
British will revenge themselves on the
Jews in Europe and Palestine if they are
denied the loan. I am saying that with
out the loan the British government will
not have the resources to carry out any
large-scale movement of Jews to Pales-
tine. In fact, the British government
will be compelled to pursue policy of
the Sternest retrenchment, in which
there can be no room for expenditures
OF money and effort on the scale neces-
sary to effect such movement
I know there has been lot of loose
talk about the United Nations taking
over the Palestine mandate. That is
just nonsense, Congressman unless the
British government consents to it. The
charter is explicit on this point: THE
terms Of trusteeship for each territory
to be placed under the trusteeship
system, including any alteration or
amendment, shall be agreed upon by the
states directly concerned, including the
mandatory power in the case of ter
ritories held under mandate"
Remember. Congressman, this rescue
OF the Jews of Europe-especially the
100000 most urgent cases-is something
that won't wait. 1t must be done very
quickly if it is to be done in time. The
only way to do it quickly is by Anglo
American agreement. If it has to wait
for the United Nations to act, death
will have acted first. Winter is coming
the winter which most of these poor
people will not survive if they must
stay in Europe. Some will die of starva-
ton, other will be killed-they are kill
ing them already in Poland, Congress
man-others will just lie down and die
because there is nothing left to live for
and they can't wait any longer. Effective
action now by the British and American
governments acting jointly is the one
hope to which they can cling.

Fumine Relief Record

Every American citizen who ate a
little less, every member of the food
producing, handling and serving in
duStries who practiced conservation,
all, in short, who joined in the
Nation wide campaign to avert star
vation abroad, will derive great sat-
iSfaction from President Truman's
announcement that America has
more than made good on it's famine
relief pledges. UNFOLDING its tradi-
tions as a humanitarian Nation, the
United States not only has shipped
to famine threatened areas the
minimum of 4O0,0OO,00O bushels of
food grains promised when the
"belt-tightening" drive was started,
but expects this month to reach the
417,000, ,000-bushel total set as a
hoped-for goal.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
reduced the statistics to simplitied
proportions when he reported to the
President that of all food distributed
from American supplies during the
fiscal year which ended June 80, one
out of every six pounds went over
seas. Foreign countries received
more than 40 per cent of our wheat,
more than IS per cent of the
rice, more than 20 per cent of the
cheese, more than 10 per cent of fats
and oils and about 6 per cent of the
meat.
Both the President and the Sec
retary of Agriculture caution the
American people that the time has
not yet come to abandon the food
conservation program, however The
deliveries already made have fore
stalled the threat of immediate star
vation, but the future picture is
shadowed with uncertainty. If har-
vests abroad should fail to come up
to expectations this fall the continu-
Ing food needs of war-ravaged coun-
tries will again become critical. An
other uncertain factor right now is
price control as it may affect food
supplies in this country. The Fed
eral Government temporarily has
suspended purchases of wheat,
meats and other foods destined for
overseas, to avoid price competition
with domestic users The plan is
eventually to export up to 25O,OOO,-
600 bushels of wheat, in addition to
other commodities. next year. All in
all, the need for further food saving
to allay hunger in countries still
suffering from food shortages re-
mains urgent. Weighed against that
need, continued belt Tightening is
little enough to ask of sympathetic
Americans.

The Political Mill
BY Gould Lincoln

Labor legislation. subject of violent
conflict recently within the Congress and
between the Congress and President Tru-
man, is apparently at a standstill for
the rest of the present congressional
session. This may we'll throw the whole
subject into the arms Of the new Con-
gress which comes into being next
January. Indeed, this was the admin
istration's purpose when President Tru-
man vetoed the Case bill and recon-
mended the appointment Of a joint
congressional committee to make a
thorough study not only of proposed
revision of the existing laws but also
OF the underlying conditions and factors
which make for strife between labor
and management.
The wave Of strikes and work stop
pages which threatened the whole eco
nomic structure of the country has
subsided-at least temporarily. Railroad.
coal and maritime strikes were eventual
ly ended or averted, with substantial
gains by labor. Since the congressional
onslaught on the OPA, there have been
rumors and threats of additional and
far reaching strikes for higher wages
still. Should any such drive arise again
oAA Aol &c SCdlC, SOll6IcSS U1lSllJ DC
called back into session to deal with
the matter. But that seems unlikely
certainly the administration would do
its utmost to prevent devastating work
stoppages, and would turn to Congress
only as last resort There is an cleo
tion coming on.
1t Is most desirable that the concur
rent resolution to carry out the Presi-
dents recommendation for a thorough
study Of labor-management problems in
this country be enacted without further
delay. The resolution has already passed
the House and been reported to the
Senate with amendment 1t gives the
special committee six months in which
to make its study and recommend such
legislation as it deems necessary.
Two important changes made in the
resolution by the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor call for the ap-
pointment of 10 members OF the House
and Senate Labor Committees to the
special committee, whose total member
ship is fixed at IA, and provide that
any legislation recommended must be
referred to the standing committees of
both houses. These changes will be
opposed by those members of both
houses who contend that the standing
committees on labor have been too
friendly with organized labor and un-
willing to recommend any changes in
existing law

The Consultations

The action of the Civil Aeronau-
tics Administrator in grounding all
of the big Lockheed Constellat tions
as result of the Reading, Pa, crash
which cost the lives of five members
of crew of six is admittedly drastic.
The emergency grounding order,
effective for thirty days, comes at a
time when the demand for air
transportation far exceeds the ca
pacities of the airlines. Thus, with
the Consultations out of service,
there will be considerable inconven-
ience to persons desiring to travel
by air. The order also nullifies, for
the time being at least, a 100000
investment by three air carriers
TWA, Pan American World Air
ways and American Airlines-in the
big liners. and will cause serious
embarrassment if not hardship to
the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation,
which developed the Constellation
at great expense and effort.
In view of all these considerations
it is safe to assume that the CAA
decision to ground the planes was
not taken lightly. 1t is difficult,
however, to see what else the Fed
eral agency could have done. The
fatal Reading crash marked the
second time in less than a month
that Constellation had come down
in flames, the first being the Wilt
mantle, Conn, mishap in which, for
tunately, forty-two persons escaped
without injury. Last year a Con-
stellation being flown under con-
tract for the Army crashed and
burned in Kansas, and there have
been repeated reports of bugs" in
the plane such as carburetor- Undue
ton system fires and trouble with
the pressurized cabin equipment.
Difficulties of this sort are COM
mon in most new plane types, and
the probabilities are that they can
be ironed out. But, meanwhile, the
planes should not be used to trans
port passengers. A Lockheed spokes-
man has been quoted as saying that
he was amazed" at the grounding
order, and could not understand
why the CAA had made such
move. The obvious answer Is that
the CAA is discharging one of its
prime responsibilities-to protect
the public from preventable flying
hazards.

Counsel OF caution for confused Con-
gressmen:
On this British loan, friend, the pay
off is not now, but next November.
On July II, the headline in the New
York Herald Tribune read: British
loan imperiled by Zionist ISSUE" Behind
that headline lies the fact that many
Congressman, some who have con-
siderable number of Jewish constituents
and some who do not, are deeply and
very properly disturbed over the plight
of the distressed Jews in Europe, and
the long delays in opening the way for
emigration of some of these desperate
people to the one land which seems to
them to be their last hope of refuge
Palestine.
1t is to these congressman that I
would speak this word of caution
The worst thing any Congressman
could do, from the point OF view of
helping these poor people to get to
Palestine and have a chance to start
their lives anew under decent auspices,
is to vote against the British loan.
Discard the emotion, the irritation
with Mr.. Bevin's tactless remarks, the
far more soundly based annoyance at
the long delays for which both the
British government and our own have
some measures of responsibility, and
look the hard grim facts squarely in
the face.
X
II there is to be a refuge for 100000
Jews-and more-in Palestine, this will
come about only by cooperative action
by the British and American govern
ments. Such cooperative action is the
one hope of constructive achievement
in this matter. If you make such CO.
operative action impossible by turning
down the British loan, you shut the
gates of hope in the faces of the very
people you are trying to help.
If you do that next November your
constituents will not remember the fiery
letters and the emotional kilograms
they have sent you, Congressman. They
will not remember the silly advertise
ments Kill That Loan" to which they
subscribed. They will see the unfortu-
nate Jews of Europe dying in black de-
spair, and they will not take the blame
themselves, they will blame you their
representative, in Congress. They will

This Changing World
By Constantine Brosvn

The violent attack in the government
owned newspapers in Russia against the
scholarly New York Times correspond
ent, Brooks Atkinson, for series of
factual articles published in his news
paper after his return to the United
States is considered in Official quarters
in Washington as "built-up case"
The Soviet government has been for
some time under gentle-very gentle
pressure from Washington and London
to permit greater degree Of freedom
OF expression and circulation for the
reporters of the American and British
newspapers.
The chief complaint of Moscow and
its followers in this country and in
Britain is that the press is responsible
to a great degree for the deterioration
of relations between the wartime asso-
ciates. The answer is that the vast ma
jority of the newspapers and their cor
respondents and editorial writer's are
anxious to see a closer coordination and
friendship between all nations of the
globe. Very few of them favor, how
ever, a policy of subordination of the
western democracies to the U. S. S. r.
In order to give clear picture of
what Russia actually is and how
the government and its people think
and work, it is essential that there
should be as much freedom of move
ment for American correspondents as
there is for the representatives of the
Soviet press who occasionally are per-
mitted to visit this country. When
three distinguished Russian newspaper
men, headed by Ilya Ehrenburg, came
to the United States last May, they had
the freedom of the country and were
allowed to go wherever they liked and
see whomeyer they chose. They at
tended public meetings, organized by
Communists and their associates, where
number Of brick bats were thrown at
the present American political and So
cial system.
The American reporters have not

Austria and Repurutions

1t is not yet clear just how far
Russia proposes to go in reaching
out for all former German property
in Eastern Austria. but there is no
mistaking where the United States
stands in the matter. Stated BRIEFLY
our policy is to claim nothing for
ourselves and to oppose any Soviet
move to take over assets forcibly ac-
quired by the Nazis after Hitler an
nexed the country in 1888.
Last week end, after the issue first
came into prominence, General
Clark, commander of the American
zone, counseled the Austrian gov
ernment against giving up anything
which the Russians could not rightly
claim. At the same time he wrote
to the Soviet commander to warn
against indiscriminate seizure. This
position has now been re-empha-
sized with the direct support of
President Truman. As set forth in a
new note from General Clark to
Chancellor Figl, it consists OF two
points-first, that we are willing to
place all German assets in our zone
under an Austrian trusteeship pend
ing inter-Allied negotiations looking
toward a remuneration of our share
in those assets; and second that the
United States will not recognize the
validity of any property transfer
that does not conform with the de-
clared policies of the United Ma
tions. ->
The Potsdam agreement gives
Russia the right to claim large
percentage of Germany's external
assets as reparations, but the Ameri-
can view is that this right is limited
by two declarations issued by the
United Nations in 1943. The first of
these warned the Axis powers that
the Allies would consider illegal any
forced property transfers IN occu-
pied lands, and the other guaran-
teed Austrian economic independ-
ence. On this basis. since such ac-
QUESTIONS were invalid to begin with,
the United States holds that the
Soviet Union is not entitled to any
thing acquired in Austria by the
Nazis through direct or indirect
duress.
Although the Russians have yet to
define their position, reports indi-
cate that they interpret the Pots
dam agreement as something apart
from prior United Nations declara-
tions and that they are not inclined
to make allowances for the duress
factor. Assuming this to be true,
