From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW.CTO

1t seems to me that Third World War Is
inevitable The question of when and how
Is still beyond my imagination Yet, / can
not believe that the peace of the world can
be drafted and set down in a logical workable
way by people who cannot cooperate in the
writing of the terms but must achieve the
terms of the peace settlement by threats of
force and even acts of force.
1t Is the normal reaction of men, since the
beginning of their history, to find that we exist
by virtue of the Survival of the Fittest This
has few exceptions in minor categories within
our universe. AS nations 60 however I'D to
the present time it Is very applicable.
With two schools of thought predominant
ing the peace tables, neither of which is ap-
parently willing to accept that both can live
on this universe for hundreds of generations
without war, the result can only be an even
tual scrap to determine who shall be the fit
est. World domination will some day come to
the people who are most ingenious and will
be held and maintained by the people who
develop a system whereby through education
tremendous job of training in psychology
and human relations is perfected. Since this
job would require such long period of time
to attain, in all probability the schools of in.
fluence in our world will try to decide It by a
Third World War.
do not believe, that we as citizens of the
United States should isolate ourselves from
Tie PIODlcHlS OL TIE WOIlu no more Inan we
can live in a community without recognizing
the needs and desires of our neighbors. Since
the only true peace known to human beings
can be accomplished only through a combina-
tion of fear and love, then too, the most last.
ing peace in my opinion can only be drafted
in similar category and should not be OBJ
tanned through fear alone.
Here, at home, we find that the last highly
recognized liberal in our Government has
seen fit to leave the administration rather
than to give up the principles which have
made us the most truly powerful and Demo-
cratic nation in the world. l refer to none
other than Mr.. Henry Wallace, our former
Vice President Of the United States 1t is nv
hope that he will be given an opportunity by
the people of our Country to someday become
president so that may know whether or
not the theory which he holds in life will be
good for our nation as a whole.
1t is my opinion that the criticisms of
Mr.. Wallace, because of his hopes and aims
are indeed an injustice to him. Such criticism
should be held in reserve only for failure on
his part once he has been given the oppor-
tunity to put into practice his ideals.

There are very few days left for voters
who are ineligible for the November election
to qualify themselves. / want to urge every
member of the UAW-CIO and all CIO mem
bers in this city to take advantage of the op-
portunity which the next few days affords to
qualify for voting in November.
1t doesn't seem possible that anyone who
works for their living needs to have all the
reasons pointed out to them why they should
vote this year. There isn't factory worker in
this city who hasn't been hit by the infla-
tionary situation that has hit them In the
purse and robbed them of their hard-ear
gains.
This Is the only chance we will have for
two long years to get rid of some of the po-
litical garbage which has been clutterinE up
Washington for the past several years. It IL
the opportunity given us under our form Of
government to eliminate the dead wood and
nisfits who have failed us time and again,
but who have done good job for the en-
ployers and big business in general.
LOOK AT 1T
Look at the Congress which has been In
Washington the past two years and see what
they have failed to do for the people of the
nation.
full employment bill which would have
guaranteed the right to vote was so changed
that 1t barely gives the unemployed the right
10 look Ior JoDS
Minimum wages of SIS cents an hour, al
ready outlawed by the rising cost of living
still rests upon the calendar of a Congress
which had to rush to repair its political fences
leaving this and other important legislation
waiting for the men who make the laws.
Housing which is one of the principal prob
lens of the nation and so important that
scarcely day passes without reading stories
of the needs of the people, was less important
to the statesmen who are suppose to represent
us than adjournment.
Low cost medical and hospital care which
has been the need of the country for many
years also lies awaiting favorable Congress.
Almost everything that would have been
of any benefit to the nation is waiting while
our congressman run around their home dis
trict trying to scare up enough votes to return
them to Washington where they will waste an
oher two years except as they serve the big
interests.
High prices and wages which are out of
line, the food situation, the stalling on the
part OF industry to produce because of the tax
law which guarantees their profits are all
good reasons why every worker who Is in
terested in his own welfare should register
now.
You can't expect your union and leaders
to do for you when you refuse to help them
by electing the right people to office. For
your own sake and that of your fellow work.
erS and the good of the nation, register now
and vote in November.

|LaborReport

The arrangements and dis
ruptions which we are cur
rently experiencing in our
domestic economy are COM
pounded of three-parts policy
confusion and one-part some
thing which might be charac-
terized as the inevitable back
wash of war. The failure of
the government to deal in a
wholesale fashion with the in
evitable emerging problems of
a transition economy has al
ready been discussed here and
elsewhere.
1t must also be recognized
that there are certain uncon-
trollable elements in the situ-
alton. No amount of wisdom
could have eliminated them.
To be sure, their effects were
aggravated by the inability of
the government to construct
an intelligent program and
then stick to 1t.
In any catalogue of the in
evitable backwash of war,
looming largest is the easily
understandable letdown in the
sense of social urgency. This
great moral force Is far more
important in disciplining
people to do things in the
community interest than any
legislation can be.
TRANSITION
Some part at least, of the
transition chaos which we are
now undergoing is due to the
unthinking desire to be rid of
both legal and moral inhibi-
tions on economic actions. It
is doubtful that any govern
mental policy - however far
seeing-could have eliminated
all of the strikes. The war
experience had strained the
patience OF many workers
with rules and red tape to the
breaking point. Postwar jit-
ters expressed itself in similar
ways in other fields of gov
'ernment regulation.
Another disturbing factor,
as far as labor Is concerned, is
the fact of the split in the la
Dor movement, Here again no
government policy could have
done much to minimize the
consequences of AFL-CIO ri
valry and conflict.
The death of President Roo
sevelt could not have come at
a worse time Roosevelt was
more or less of a known guam
tity. AS person and a SYM
boil he stood for something
constant and both his enemies
and his friends had adjusted
their calculations to this con-
Stant. Roosevelt's death on the
eve of international and do
upneaval injected
large element of uncertainty
into a situation which was al
ready desperately scrambled
What we've been saying
here adds up to two possibly
useful notions. First: that no
amount of omniscience could
have averted completely the
current unpleasantness. Sec
ond: that the impact of the
backwash cf war was made
worse because government
didn't do anything about the
things 10 could have done
something about.

What's
New?
By
EdWdrd Duck
Representative
2.B
UAWCIO

IlOL CllOuEhI "AANCS
Myers In his pamphlet, La
Dor And Co-ops."
THE cost of living robs
your pay-envelope of the
gains you have made through
collective bargaining, wheth-
er prices go up Immediately
following the wage increase
or not" he adds.
This Is the point we have
been trying to make for a
long time. Landlords and
merchants are out for all they
can get, and any small amount
of prosperity" among their
customers calls for a mark-up
of prices and fees. Usually the
mark-up exceeds the custom
'ers' wage increase many
times over.
What are we to do? Sur
render in despair, and ask
for no more wage increases,
Prices would 60 up anyway,
because the consumer Is at
the mercy Of those who con-
troll the necessities of life, and
they are concerned with prof
its and profits only.
Just as individual collec-
tive bargaining leaves the
worker weak and defenseless
against his employer, so does
individual buying of life's
necessities place the worker
at the mercy of the organized
merchants and monopolists.
When we bargained indi-
vidually we worked for 40 or
so cents an hour. We organ
lied, and changed our wages
and working conditions,
didn't we?
WON AND LOST
We won on one front and
lost on the other. Where we
were organized we made a
smashing victory. On the con-
suming front we were not an
army, but a crowd of con-
fused individuals, and we
took--and are still taking
brutal beating,
Why can't we organize our
buying power? We can and
we must. Collective buying,
known as consumer coopera-
tion, Is the answer to our
problem. Today, two and one
half million Americans have
proven to themselves and to
those who took the trouble to
look into the matter, that
they can lower the prices-on
food, clothing, gasoline, In
surance, household equip
ment and other needs.
We have been fighting, as
Myers so aptly puts 1t, with
one hand tied behind our
backs" We have something
which business wants, besides
our labor. Business wants our
dollar, and when we have one
to spend, 1t welcomes us like
a long lost brother"
Unlike the corporations
setup, one who owns stock In
the cooperative receives equal
voting strength with those
who might own much more
than he. Under the four prin-
ciples of consumer coopera-
tion upon which the Rochdale
Cooperatives are built, the
person is important, not the
dollar.
PRINCIPLES
The four basic principles of
the RochdAle plan are:
/. Brotherhood. Member
ship Is open to all, regardless
of class, color, creed, or resi-
dence. The larger the mem
bership, the greater the bene-
fits to each.
2. Economic Democracy.
One vote for each member,
regardless of the number of
shares of stock owned.
3. Limited Interest. Spe-
culation Is eliminated because
coop stock always remains at
par, with a 4 or 8 percent
interest limit on capital in
vested.
4. Patronage Dividends.
Based on the amount of each
ones purchases, he or she re-
ceives a patronage dividend
every six months or every
year.
Through the cooperative
movement unemployment has
been virtually abolished in
Sweden and Finland. In Den
