FORD HITS LAWS
TO BAN STRIKES

Detroit. Henry Ford, I'd, youthful
president of the Ford Motor Company
called for industrial craftsmanship
by both management and labor to
eliminate industrial strife without
"impairing or diminishing the rights
which both management and labor
must continue to enjoy"
In liberal vein, Ford said solution
of the problem Of human relations in
industry would lower costs to con-
sumers and help make the nation
prosperous. He insisted the solution
can be found through closer under
standing between management and
labor.
eve cannot expect legislation to
solve our problems" he said. Laws
which seek to force large groups of
Americans to do what they believe is
unfair and against their best inter-
ests are not likely to succeed. In
fact, such legislation can lead to ex-
aggeration Of the very problem it is
designated to solve. And when free
men give up the task Of trying to get
along with each other, and pass the
buck to government, they surrender
a substantial measure Of their free

ON PUBLIC OPINION
BY Ruth Taylor

If you are of my generation, prob
ably you are as impressed as am
with how well versed people are today
in what is going on IN the world.
Maybe the radio has brought this
about-but like to think it is some
thing more than that. l like to think
it is all part of sincere desire to find
out what is what, and why.
Ignorance never settled question.
This has been proven again and again
throughout history. Public opinion is
usually in advance of the law. And
public opinion is based upon what
people think and know about ques-
tion. AS Josh Billings said: "It is bet
ter to know nothing than to know what
amt So" But it is much more import
ant to be we'll informed.
For-mark it well, there is nothing
well informed public opinnon cannot
do. Occasional error Of opinion does
no harm so long as reason is left free
to combat it.
1t is reason, and reasoning, that is
needed at the present moment when
our knowledge of all subjects-history,
trade, labor and industry-mu all
be global in character. We cannot af-
ford to pigeonhole single fact. We
cannot afford to isolate our minds. We
cannot afford to assume knowledge.
We must know the, background as
well as the foreground-for in the
last analysis the peace of the world,
the peace of the future will not be in
the keeping of the rulers Of the states,
but in the keeping of the people who
support those rulers. Centuries ago a
Chinese philosopher said: "The people
are the hosts and the ruler is the
guest; the hosts always live in the
house, while the guests may be invited
to stay or asked to leave"
In the last analysis no dictator can
stay in power without the public be-
hind him. People may not always have
the government that they deserve, but
they will always have the government
they applaud.
Of a governing people, Of a
free people, one says that they know
what they believe. Their beliefs are
their purposes. Let men be good and
the government cannot be bad.
Get all the facts. Listen and study
and then make up your mind-for you
are public opinion.

minorities-and especially when
they want something that is 60
ing to cost money for the major
ity-such as equal wages for
equal work.
There was man prejudice against
women when women wanted to vote
However that prejudice worked
against women in the abstract and al
ways exempted the lady whose favors
were at the time important.
The hates among us just now are
threat to the peace of the nation
and we had better be doing something
about them.
Whether we will is another question,
as always.
Unions have been leaders in show
ing, by example, how to get along
with prejudice land yet prejudice is
not entirely lacking. There is some
against Jews and altogether too much
against Negroes.
One of the first things to do, con-
fronted by prejudice, is to ask, WHY
IS 1T THAT WAY?
Few are entirely honest about their
answers. Some really don't know the
answers. 6

when sheriff told some Negro strik-
ers that if 'sYou are not back at work
tomorrow you'll be in jail" He hadn't
stopped to think that you cannot per-
manently deny the rights of q minor
ity without endangering the rights Of
all. That sheriff would not have so
threatened white workers. Whites
have too much power.

Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things. sometimes
/ profoundly. sometimes HippantIy, some !
times rseklessly. -.

Here's that limb again-and I'm GO
ing out. Don't saw it off behind me
until you've read through to the end.
Please.
One of the great problems of today,
here in our own country, is race and
religious prejudice.
We talk platitudes about it, we
pussyfoot about it, we duck it and
pretend it isn't there, just as the DIT
victim hopes he can pretend the little
elephants aren't running across the
footboard of the bed. But of course
they are, for he sees them every time
he looks.
Well, what we need is some frank
and open talk about it, so that there
caTsbe honest and proper action.
We have our round table discussions
and our forums, in which everybody
figaratively kisses everybody else and
all is sweetness and light.
But if you take apart some of our
cities you will find prejudice galore.
Mostly it is Protestant prejudice.
There is prejudice against Jews, there
is a prejudice against Catholics and
there is plenty of it against Negroes.
Also there is prejudice against 'poor
whites" in the South.
There is prejudice against
