Arbitration Needed

country, especially the labor inter-
ests of the country, to oppose the
creation and utilization of such
sensible and useful system-persist
ing instead in the conduct of and
submission to waSteful and destruc-
tive strikes.
What rhyme Or reason is there to
the SHUTTING DOWN of the pro.
ductive enterprises of the country
for the supposed Improvement of the
wages and working conditions of
labor, when it is only in these enter
prises that employment is possible
and wages are obtainable and i'm
proved working conditions are at
tainable?
No industry can MAKE UP for
the time that is lost or the wages lost
or the goods and services unproduced
during strikes.
Why would it not be for the bene-
fit of all our people for our produc-
tive enterprises to continue to
OPERATE and to PRODUCE and
to EMPLOY during the periods of
controversy?
THE wisdom and justice of de-
Il mand for higher wages or better
working conditions could be fully
argued and amply supported before
competent and authoritative courts
of arbitration-in the same manner
and with the same confidence that
issues affecting property rights and
even human liberty and life are
regularly argued and supported in
existing courts.
The country has already spent
many months of the postwar era in
futile and fruitless industrial contro-
versy, conducted according to the
ancient law of conflict and exhaus.
ton.
Why do we not seek and find
industrial PEACE for the months
and years ahead of us-in order that
we may produce and enjoy the fruits
of peace?

Communists Fear Truth

THE Communist party in the
= United States is beginning to con-
duct openly and boldly It's campaign
of villifcation against the Catholic
Church, campaign which it has
hitherto conducted secretly and with
sublety.
The factor melting the American
Communists to direct action appears
to have been the Christmas message
of Pope Plus XII, which denounced
tyranny of the total state, " and was
interpreted by the Communist as an
indictment of Soviet Russia.
Since Russia IS a country under
tyranny of the total state" the
Pope unquestionably DID intend to
include Russia when he said:
"For lasting peace, all nations
must RENOUNCE artifciaily Gre
ated censorship of public opinion
Which directs the thought of and t0iii
of the Uoters, like sugar cane stalks
in the IUind."
WHILE the observations of the
Pope in this vein seem reason
able to all peace loving people, and
are AUTOMATIC to the democratic
American people, they are under
standably Objectionable to the Red
Fascist Russian government and
are consequently offensive to Amer
ican Communists, who take the cue
for all their thinking from Moscow.
However, we may be sure that
the Pope will not be diverted from
his uncompromising opposition to
communism by the villifcations of
Moscow.
And we have good evidence that
American Catholics will not be in
Inundated in their political and moral
beliefs by the villifeations of the
Moscow directed Communist party
in the United States.
Bishop Thomas J. Toolen of the
Catholic diocese of Mobile provided
Detroit evening times., 1946-01-18

this evidence in a recent address,
saying:
eve see the sphere of the mighty
bear reaching down into the central
European countries, in the Baltic
countries, into the Far East and eUen
into our otUn country, and We Don-
der Where it tUiL stop.
"We see our country, the most
powerfuI nation in the rUorld, send
ing our statesmen to MoscoU, to
Tehran, to Cairo, and lve listen uUith
SHAME to the appeasement policy
they folloW.
"We know what appeasement
policy meant at Munich and Berlin.
"We Donder Wiil ii mean the
same in Moscow =.
rs there no one TO say to this
goddess nation: This far you go,
and no farther2"
THE Communist party jim the
- United States has been FORCED
into the open in it's war on the Amer
lean Catholic Church, because the
courageous and clear thinking lead
ers of the Catholic Church are telling
the TRUTH about communism, and
because Communists do not want the
American people to KNOW the
truth.
The Pope's Christmas message
was reasonable and accurate and
TRUTHFUL in it's denunciation of
the dangers and evils of communism
The only weapons the Commu-
nists have against the truth are those
they use so well-the weapons of
hate and SANDER.
1t is not only the Catholic Church
and the Catholic leaders and Amer
leans of the Catholic faith against
whom the American Communist
party is waging it's war of villifca-
tion, but the whole structure of
American democracy and all the
American people who acknowledge
and revere God and who value their
free way of life.

THE country obviously and des-
perately needs a federal system
of arbitration in the field of labor
controversy.
1t needs a SUPREME COURT
of arbitration at the highest level of
appeal, review and decision.
1t needs a comprehensive system
of state and regional courts of arbi-
tration for the purposes of direct
hearing and argument
The present dire dilemma of the
country points up these essential and
vital needs.
Industrial enterprises employing
hundreds of thousands of workers
and producing goods and providing
services indispensable to the health
and well being of the country have
been shut down by strikes.
Many other industrial enterprises
equally important to the country
are threatened with shutdowns by
impending strikes.
Clearly this is wasteful and de-
structive.
1t is, moreover, dangerous and
potentially disastrous.
And it is wholly unnecessary and
utterly unwise.
A FEDERAL system of arbitra.
tion would provide PEACE
Full settlement of all controversies
between labor and management.
1t would assure the IMPARTIAL
study of all facts relating to these
controversies.
1t would utilize the services and
experience of trained and expert
examiners and jurists, known to the
American people and accepted and
respected by the people as men of
established reputation and demon.

BY what theory il ever was
