a disastrous depression bust unless

ton exercise craftsmanship Of a

Director John K. Steelman report
ed Oct. 3 To President Truman and
the Congress.
Steelman opened his detailed,
76-page report with the warning
that "the national economy is in
position of great promise, and Of
great danger.
"Our position is one Of promise
because we have an opportunity to
move forward to higher levels of
real income that any nation has
ever achieved. We have chance
to maintain higher levels of en-
ployment for extended periods, and

Admits British
Menace Peuce
In Palestine

Washington (FP)-The British
empires terror policy in Palestine
constitutes threat to world peace,
State Department officials admit
ted Sept. "a to spokesmen for the
American Jewish Labor Council.
The sensational criticism of
British policy came from Gordon
P. Merriam, near eastern affairs
division chief, and an assistant,
William Porter, when the Jewish
unionists asked State Department
help for 100000 Jewish displaced
persons in Europe.
The delegation, led by Gen,
Counsel Harry Sacher of the
Transport Workers Union spoke
for unions with an estimated COM
bined membership of 100000.
They urged the State Department
tot
condemn the British reign
of terror in Palestine and the pro-
posed partition plan for that coun-
try.
2.-Raise the Palestine question
in the United Nations and recon-
mend that Palestine be taken from
under British mandate and placed
under UN trusteeship.
3.-Dissolve as quickly as pos
sible Jewish DIP camps in Europe
and facilitate Jewish immigration
to various countries.
The State Department officials
told the unionists that President
Truman was constantly urging the
British government to admit Jews
to Palestine, and that British veto
power might block United Nations
action. The labor spokesman re-
piled that if Britain refused to
give up it's mandate over the Holy
Land, which was confessed fail
ure after 20 years, the U. S. could
put the heat on the British "by its
loan power and other ways"

Says Soop Opera
Fans Are MoronS

Washington (FP)-The reason
American radio stations broadcast
so much cheap soap opera is be-
cause the corporations buying the
time are convinced that their best
customers are morons with low
sales resistance.
That is the most courageous
statement yet issued by a critic of
U. S. broadcasting and comes from
Jerome H. Spingarn, former at
tonney for the Federal Communi-
cations Commission.
Springarn says soap operas are
the cheapest network show to
produce" and finds the stations
do not control either programs or
broadcasting policy.
"The actual presentation of pro-
grams is largely delegated to the
networks, who in trun, delegate it
to advertisers who work through
advertising agencies. Since adver-
tising agencies have no pledge to
the public to fulfill, the presenta-
tion Of a well-balanced broadcast
schedule becomes a mere byprod-
uct of a selling operation.
"If an advertiser thinks his best
customers are morons with low
sales resistance, he will prefer
program that will attract five
to one that will attract ten
critical listeners"

determination and readjust-
ment of tax policies.
3.-Vigorous action to break up
monopolistic practices blocking a
lowering of prices.
Despite his recognition that
workers real wages have declined
while business profits rose, and
that forstalling depression re-
quires even more consumer spend
ing power, Steelman listed wage
sterilization as part of an anti
initiation program and calls for
"self-restraint on the part of the
consuming public"

Official Seal Of
Approval Placed
On Label Show

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) -
"The 1916 AFL Union Label anC
Industrial Exhibition is going ovel
with an atom-age bang" |. M
Ornburn, director of union labor's
"show," said recently in st. Louis
where the exhibition will be hello
Oct. 20 to Nov. 3. Through the CO.
operation of AFL national and in
ternational unions, union manufac-
turers, merchandisers, and man.
agement of union services, the
success of the exhibition is as
sured.
"An all-American a exhibition,
like the one held in Cincinnati, in
1898, and the one to be held in
st. Louis, are the best examples of
what union employees, women's
auxiliary members, and represen-
tatives of management can do
when they all unite in the union
label cause to prove to American
consumers that union label goods
and union services are the best in
quality and workmanship.
"The proclamations declaring
the period of the exhibition a
Union Label Week by the mayors
of both st. Louis, Mo-, and East St.
Louis, H., as well as the general
approval of the show by the
President of the United States and
by governors of neighboring
states, have placed the official seal
of approval on the 1916 Union
Label Exhibition"

Preparing for war on five con.
tinents doesn't keep the War De-
partment busy enough. Undersec-
retary of War Royal has enough
idle time to run around advising
union conventions how to start
their own internal wars.
Perhaps the secretary of labor
should address West Point class
on how to unionize the army.
Newspapers are sputtering with
indignant satisfaction that at last
a business man is at the head of
the Commerce Department.
Hopeful Horace hopes they'll
trun their attention next to getting
a union man at the head of the
Labor Department.
The Amalgamated Spittoon Pol
ishers Union, which is holding its
convention next week, is mad as
