In the report, issued through the

DR.. Millspaugh added that, if the
Russian process of infiltration and
coercion is finally completed, its
position along the flank of Turkey
and Iraq will have been consolidated.
This, he said, g would enable the
Russians to fan out toward the

The result of long-term application of common
sense in Sweden to the problem which just nov
has Americas economy in the throes of bad case
of cramps, has been a condition of industrial
peace in which strike is rarity.
An American observer, Paul H. Norgren
writes '"The great majority of Swedish employers
no longer regard unions and collective contracts as
necessary evils but actually prefer them to verbal
agreements with individual workers." Employers
and employees equally oppose compusion: the
worker because of instructive fear of management
control Of the arbitral authority; the employer
because of it's certain effect of lowering worker
morale and therefore efficiency.
Both the basic agreement and legislation gov
erning labor relations in Sweden represent cod-
ficaton of existing practice rather than the intro
duction of new procedures Employers and work
ers fit their relations into code of experience.
Perhaps if management and labor in America
would thoughtfuly comb out the better aspects
of their historic relationships, they, too, might
compile a code under which, with patience and
forbearance they could ultimately emulate the
example of "strikeless' Sweden.

Wallgren is an outdoors man, though the

Il Mayor for Seattle

Filings for city offices remind the people OF
Seattle that the charter entities them to mayor
something they had almost forgotten during
tenure of the present functionary in the chair.
There is danger to ancient prerogative when the
mayor of great city permits complete vacuum
of NEGATIVELY to exist in an office the occupant OF
which, to be of civic value, should evidence posi-
tive characteristics. The people MIGHT conclude
they can get along just well without mayor
which, indeed, has been proved to be true OF

his monastic cell in the County-CIty Building.
Perhaps during the war such situation
tolerable. Authority had moved to higher
level. Now, however, Seattle needs leadership
This calls for mayor with at least few positive

cannot uncover and elect a candidate capable OF
leading this world city along the path toward

Admiral Halsey's W arning
S n O E IA A K E R

1t has been said that "War is diplomacy
ried onto the field of decision" Admiral William
F. Halsey must have had this trusm in mind
when, recently, he said:
"Neither the Army nor the Navy ever start
ed a war. But the Army and the Navy have
successfully finished all our wars. Now, in time
of peace, the State Department has a great if
not greater responsibility. They should be
made to bear that responsibility and be made to
bear it in the open.''
The recent sad example of Pat Hurley's repre-
sentation of the State Department as ambassador
to China is case in point. A few Hurleys, scat
tered around the world with credentials clothing
them with authority to commit America to a for
eign policy arrived at in their minds by COM
binaton of prejudice and private financial inter-
est, would almost certainly start other wars for
our magnificent Army and Navy to finish.
Probably we have others still in authority, who
work silently and secretly, actuated by the same
destructive internal forces that moved General
Hurley. It is against these our great fighting
admiral warns the State Department. 1t should
take heed for, as he says, the responsibility is
great.

Seriously, let's examine this matter of Radio as
educator. If it would assume full response
bility in field in which it COULD make an
important contribution, it should be prepared to
follow the rules of the game.
Before one may qualify educator in
schools, from primary grade to university, he
must himself be educated, and prove it by tests.
This is required by law and regulative authority.
Why should not Radio be required to conform
to the same requirements with respect to it's
newScasters and commentators? If information
is to be piped into the home, would it be too
much to require that it be truly accurate and edu-
cative rather than a reflection of inexcusable
ignorance?

bardment of laundering gnoramuses, is kid not
likely to rebel against school and say: eff that
bum can get by and hold good radio job, why
in heck should waste my time tryin' to learn
something"

'Strikeless' Sweden

Perhaps Sweden has found better way-and
they took their time about finding it, fact which
contrasts sharply with the hurried and half
hearted attempts we in m eric have made
to bring about something approaching harmoni-
Gus relationships between management and labor
In Sweden during the 1905, as a result of con-
stantly increasing pressure for compulsory regula
ton in labor disputes-the familiar prayer and
hope of certain groups in American Big Business
"a Joint management-labor committee sat for
two and half years before basic agreement
was finally reached.
AS pointed out by Arnold S0ven, legal counsel
for the Swedish Trades Union Federation, 'it was
clear to the central organizations on both sides
that stiff and obstructive system of compulsory
regulation was inevitable unless the contracting
parties themselves took measures to render pub
lie action to assure labor peace superfluous''
Since public pressure for some form of arbitral
compusion is increasing in the United States, it
might be we'll to study the development of volun-
tary collective bargaining in Sweden. Says Mr..
S0ven:
1.-The aim of both employers and workers
throughout the history of collective bargaining
in Sweden has been to maintain the c0ntractural
basis and avoid compulsory government arbitra-
tons undoubtedly constitutes strong guar
antee against misuse of the weapon of open
conflict
Labor and management went about the bust
ness Of seeking and arriving at 'basic agree
ment' without political interference, the para-
mentary attitude being that the settlement of
interest disputes was matter for determine
tiOn hetweep the partieS most directly concerned
The result has been that the government steps in
only when strikes or lockouts threaten despite
existence of contracts banning such coercve meas
ures. A Labor Court, set up by parliament, set
ties disputes of this nature, interprets contract
ura terms, and, it is said, in most cases renders
verdicts acceptable to both sides

Radio Stumblebums

Pluggers for radio claim their medium is
great educator. An entertainer-yes with i'm
portant reservations. But an educator? 1t could
be, if, first, it would educate its "educators.'
To err is human But to keep it up is-well,
it's monotonous. The pronunciation of the ordi-
nary m-run of newscasters is execrable. I'M
portant chroniclers and commentators on national
hookups are not much better. But since all
orthoepsts are not agreed on accents and stress
es, might pass up recommendations, n d even
solecisms, if facts were kept straight-historcal
