LET'S DEVELOP OUR
HOME MARKET

Maury Maverick, once a fighting
Progressive Congressman from
Texas and more recently chairman
of the Smaller War Plants Corpo-
ration, was sent across the Pacific
by President Truman to study OPP
portunities for American trade.
His report is not encouraging
China is drafting laws giving its
own people a virtual monopoly OF
commercial opportunity. Australia
and New Zealand are bound to
Great Britain by trade agreements
and the so-called sterling bloc"
Maverick thinks it will be ex-
tremely difficult for American
business to penetrate these barriers
American business men should
not be discouraged. Right here al
home they have the finest markets
in the. world. All that is necessary
is to give the farmers and the work
ers adequate buying power.
Every American would like tc
get foreign trade, but, thank God
we are not dependent on it-that
is, if our leaders use just a little
common sense.-Labor.

IN OUR OPINION.

Getting out this paper is no
picnic. If we print jokes, people say
we r silly, if we don't, they say
we are too serious. If we clip
things from other papers, we are
too lazy to write ourselves. If we
don't we are stuck on u own
stuff, if we stick close to the lob
all day, we ought to be out hunt
ing up news. If we do get out and
try to hustle, we ought to be on
the job in the office, if we don't
print contributions, we don't ap-
preciate true genius, if we do print
them, the paper is filled with Junk.
if we make a change in the other
fellows Write-up, we are too criti-
cal. If we don't, we are asleep.
Now, like as not, some guy will
say we swiped this from some other
paper. We did = from Treasure
State Labor Journal, who swiped
it from The Chirolite who swiped
it from Pacific Insurance who
swiped it from TYG who swiped
it from well, you get the idea.

Very properly, Itays request for entry into the United Nations has
been cordially" received by the UN.O. steering committee. We hope
that the Assembly shortly votes to admit her.
Her membership would be a boon for Italys political and moral
health-an intensely needed boon, for in the struggle to advance as
a democracy she faces staggering initial difficulties.
The hunger of her people, the dislocations of war, the Illustrations
Of Allied occupation, the continuing effects of outright Allied inter
Ventlon under Mr.. Churchills leadership to weight the scales for royal
.sm and reaction, Italys shame in the memory of Fascism and an in
2lorius War-au these ar heavy burdens. Italian reaction, fighting hard
TO regain mastery, is strengthened by the predictions of all too many
allied occupation officers. 1t won a partial victory in the recent shake

a government and economy that will serve human dignity has produced
promising parties and leaders. "Ez g.
In the struggle to progress nothing can help the Italian people
more than selfrespect. The combat service of Italian anti Fascists
against Germany late in the wa helped toward restoring it. Now Italys

ton that the founding fathers of the United Nations intend the UNO.
to become a universal organization. 1t would encourage the people of
Germany and Japan and potential democratic leaders in their countries.

Profits of Business and Industry
In 1916 Largest in All History

Certainly business, big and little,
has no reason to complain that
1945 did not do we'll by it. Profits
during the year we're greater than
in 1914, when they were so large
that the only word to describe them
is fantastic"
Official predictions are they'll be
even greater in 1916, thus estab-
fishing "the greatest profits in his
tory"
The extent to which the con
sumner has been a victim of profit
eering is dramatically revealed ir
a statement filed by the Office OF
Price Administration with the Sc
nate Small Business Committee.
The purpose of the Statement!
was to prove that business has moi
been hurt by OPA policies-a fac
concerning which the consumer
who pays the bill has never been
in doubt.
To show the extent to which
business prospered during the
1914 with the average profits OF
years, O.P.A. compares profits II
1896 to 1889, reasonably gooc
peacetime years.
Here are some of the increases.
Hardware retailers, 464 per cent
small furniture stores, 1875 per cent.
variety chain stores, 500 per cent.
mems apparel stores, 1913 per cent.
department and speciality stores
1924 per cent; chain grocery stores
152 per cent; music stores, 21O pei
cent; automobile dealers, 200 per
cent.
So much for retailers. These in
creases in profits show how well
the wholesalers also Jared:
Hardware wholesalers, 179 pc,
cent; dry goods, $50 per cent: gro
Gerry, Is per cent.
Of course, the distribution anc
OF business, on the whole, took {
back seat to the manufacturing
end, as these profit increases EN-.
phasize:
All manufacturing, $50 per cent
textile and leather, 100 per cent
transportation equipment, $50 pei
cent; metals and products, 500 pc,
cent; building materials, go pei

General Strike

There is nothing more certain
than the instinct of the capitalist
class when it feels that it is being
endangered, for it has been noted
that the class consciousness that
exists among the country's rulers
is much more sensitive than that
which activates American workers.
The most dramatic case in point
vas the complete tie-up of Siam
ford, Conn, on January 8, as mem
oers of all the unions in the area
struck for three hours in support
Of the Yale and Towne workers,
who are members of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, an
AL, affiliate. Supporting strikers
included members of the ALL, c.
10, and independent unions.
Equally significant was the fact
that a majority of merchants and
small business men in the town in
dictated their support of the strikers
by closing their stores for the pc
riod of the strike.
Althoug only 10000 workers
were involved in the stoppage, it is
notable that the strike took prece-
Ience over all major labor disputes
n New York papers. The New
York Times used the general strike
at Stamford as a whip to urge the
scrapping of much recent labor le-
gislation, and demanded that Tru-
man take steps to "equalize" cap
italist rights with those of labor.
Editorially, the Herald Tribune,
taking note Of the fact that labor
unions in New York have discussed
the possibility of a general strike in
support of Western Electric work
erS, said: Are you (Michael J.
Quill, president of the Transport
Workers. prepared to turn a labor
dispute with a single corporation
into a revolt against the commun-
ity? For that is what a so-called
general strike amounts to. In real
ity it ceases to be a strike at all
and becomes an open war on the
public and the political and social
system it supports"
Aside from the fact that a gen
eral strike is directed not against
the public" nor against the com
munity" (the Stamford "commun-
ity" and public" were apparently
about in support of the workers.,
but against the ruling group in
the community, the Herald-Trib-
une's fears have a certain validity.
There is nc question that a gen.
eral strike, having as it's purpose
the institution of a socialist society.
would be in bold opposition to the
existing political and economic sys-
tenn. And it is just such opposition
toward the economic system which
can make a general strike signifi-
cant as a positive weapon and not
only a defensive method. - The
Call.

JAPAN TO REMAIN ABOUT THE
SAME AS HERETOFORE

Emperor Hrohito's denial of his own divinity is not a retreat under
irresistible pressure but rather a strategic withdrawal to a position from
Whlc IN most powerful instrument of Japans ruling class a be more
easily defended. The hardest blow leveed at Emperor-worship was the
American directive ordering the end of government support for state
INA since IN Emperor is of divine descent, Japan is entitled to rule the
world Apart o this the Emperor has suffered little in the disillusion-
nent with the old order. The miltarEts, big business and the bureau
crazy nave been pLloried in the press and denounced by the people.
mus a only the Communists have dared to attack Hirohito as a wa
crlmnal and demand the establishment of a republic. Although the
great mass of the people have not yet turned against the Emperor, they
ave made clear their OPPOSITION to the other members of the oIigarchv
and may = if they have the support of the American authorities -
unscat many o fltsc chief representatives. Far-sghted conservatives have
recognized that unless the throne is disassociated from the oigarchv
and brought much closer to the people it may eventually bear the brunt
OF the democratic attack which is now in preparation. A constitutional
monarch in tweeds makes a much smaller target than a divine-right
monarch in unform-The Nation.

More Than One Kind of Democracy
We have some silly idea that
there is only one kind of demo-
cracy. Sometimes l wonder if many
Americans even know the mean
ing of democracy. Look at their at
titudes toward Jews, Negroes, for
eigners. We want democracy to
mean officials, papers, everyone in
office a lawyer or professional poll
tician, a college graduate, at least.
Where r the Yugoslavs to find
such trained people? For rs years
Mussolini took away their schools
These people who are trying to
govern themselves are making mis-
takes, sure, but at least they are
honest. We r trying to set our
selves up as little dictators of eff
ficiency and the Yugoslavs on the
other side of the Morgan line see it.
They feel the hatred of the cap
tins who are SO imbued with hatred
of a people who gave everything to
win this war that they are actually
no different to the Yugoslavs than
the Nazi.
Let's not blame the government
of Tito for things the Yugoslavs in
this region do. 1 am sure Tito would
like to have these people get along
with the occupation forces for
otherwise it creates many embar-
