We Are Doing The Same

Our difficulty in seeing ourselves a IS others see us must account
for the fact that few commentators on the draft of the Inter-American
Military Cooperation Act, which the President has recently submitted
to Congress, have realized how much support this move gives to Russian
foreign policy. We have looked very much askance at Soviet military
missions in Eastern Europe and have freely criticized the plans Moscow
is believed to cherish for organizing the countries in its sphere of IN
fuence into a strong military bloc. Yet here w re go blithely planning the
organization of just such a bloc in the Western Hemisphere. In his
message to Congress Mr.. Truman explained that ne wanted legislative
authority for the army and navy to continue and extend their co1abOra
ton with the armed forces of the American republics, and with Canada
also. 1t was "highly desirable" he said, ito standarize military organiza
ton, training methods, and equipment so a to assist other American
countries in assuming their responsibilities under the United Nations
Charter and the Act of Chapultepec. Leadership by this country, he
suggested, rested upon it's predominance in technical, economic, and
military resources. Therefore it was desirable to permit the transfer OF
military equipment to our partner countries by sale o other method
No doubt Mr.. Truman genuinely believes that this program is lin every
way consistent with the wording and spirit Of the United Nations
Charter" mad that most Americans will think SC too. Some cynical
foreigners, however, arr certainly going to regard it as just another
example of power poliics-The Nation.

have you?
Appearing before a Senate committee the other day, Mark PckreIl
secretary of the Corn Belt Livestock Feeders Association, demanded
that OPA be put to death Immediately, at least insofar as meat prices
are concerned. Quite bluntly he told the senator's that his association
and the farmers who are holding the cattle, have decided not to sell
please. They ar not asking for a definite price increase; the sky is the
iimit-or else!
If you want meat, Pickrel told the senators, "an you have do to is
give these fellows assurance that price ceilings ri going to come off
Otherwise NJ meat!
There you have a situation, which the public and the press gen
let's se what it would be called if it happened under other circm
stances and if other people were responsible.
There are the coal miners, for instance. They have asked for wage
increases and improvements in working conditions, which the owners
OF the mines refused to grant. So, the miners withheld their work. And
what is the cause of the coal shortage? What's the term? Why, it's d
strike. of course.
Unlike the meat growers of the farm belt the miners are not asking
for a unlimited wage boost. They are not telling the government thai
the price of coal must go sky-high. They n not urging the abolition
of all controls. They are seeking certain definite Improvement.
Meanwhile, though the coal strike temporarily cut down on ehc
trio lightning in the midwest states, the cattle farmers strike creates
a different shortage. Both are strikes!
There ism the slightest difference between them, except that the
miners are more reasonable and modest in their demands. They arent
defying the government; the meat boys are doing precisely thai
In Congress, however. reactionary Republicans and southern Dem
Ocrats have nothing to say in criticism of the cattle farmers strike
That's all right. But, they think the coal strike is horrible! So, they are
trying to revive the Case Bill in the Senate in the hope that it will
keep the miners in their pits, without wage increases. Strangely enough
the very same alleged statesmen who want to do this, are ready to III
render to the cattle men, abolish price control of meat, and let the mi

boys get away with their demands, naturally the miners, and many
other workers, will require more money, the packers will have to pay
more for coal, and everything the farmer buys will soar in price-The

was not even a name.

The SteelWorkers had no easy
task. Earlier union drives had been
ruthlessly crushed by the mightiest
corporation in the land.
The fear in the workers hearts
was the first enemy the CIO had
to overcome.
