Letters to The Star
Finds Mr.. Murray .Wetter' Than
February Rain

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star for February you com.
ment editorially: IF there Is anything
wetter than rain in February, wonder
what 1t can be-"
The answer is Philip Murray, USW
president, when he declares: This union
never violated contract in its life"
According to an article on page Az
OF The Star for February Z. Mr.. Murray
is quoted as explaining the steel strike
by saying that the contract provided
that either party could reopen the con-
tract on written notice, and that such
a stipulation would be without point
II the union was dispossesSed Of its power
Of enforcement, the strike weapon.
Let lis consider Mr.. Murray's position
from two angles. First, the reopen the
contract clause upon which he rests
his case. As recall that clause as pub
lished some weeks ago, the provision was
that In the event Of changed national
wage policy either party to the contract
could reopen the question Of wages upon
written notice.
Now the existing contracts, entered
into In the spring Of 1915, were the re-
suit OF collective bargaining. They were
signed because the unions and the steel
companies arrived at terms which mu-
tually were acceptable. In view Of the
mo strike-no lockout" provision of the
contract 1t seems clear enough that the
existing contracts are in force In all re-
spects until and unless modified by
further collective bargaining-that is
on some formula mutually acceptable
TO the contracting parties.
Mr.. Murray obviously thinks there
need be no meeting Of minds-just q
demand by labor. backed by the force
Of the strike weapon, which he had
pledged not to use during the life of the
contract
That brings us to the second angle.
Having said that the contract may be
reopened by either party, and that the
same power may be used to enforce de-
mands as II no contract existed, what
is to prevent steel company holding
such contract with union from using
identical tactics in q period Of defiation,
u the company believed q wage reduce
ton was necessary?
How long would 1t take Mr.. Murray
and his union to fly to the courts for an
injunction to prevent such . company
from closing its plants In q lockout to
enforce its demands for lower wages7
A lockout by steel company under the
conditions described is exactly compa-
rable with the present USw position.
But who believes that the union would
not cry long and loud. Breach Of
contract? JUSTA CONSUMER.

Dutch PIun for Indonesiu

~ 40 plOUdulc tlldG AIlcIlCdu anu
other opposition on the Security
Council of UNO to the Soviet de-
mand for an investigatory commits
sion in Indonesia was partly mott
waited by the proposal simultaneous
ly made by the Netherlands Govern
ment for the establishment OF a
commonwealth of Indonesia with
the promise that, "in our time" the
more than 100000 Indonesians
would be vouchsafed the right OF
self-determination choice be-
tween partnership in an overall
Netherlands commonwealth en-
bracing both the homeland and its
colonial areas in both hemispheres
or complete independence.
Judged by every criterion, this ap-
pears to be a statesmanlike pro-
poSal, in line alike with our policy
toward the Philippines and British
policy toward India. The parallel
between the Indonesian and Indian
situations seems to be especially
close. Both areas have been admin
tstratively consolidated, not through
internal evolution but by the en-
pire-building activity of a foreign
power. Both contain profound dif-
ferences in race, religion, language
and culture which render the imme-
diate attainment of true national
unity by common consent OF the in
habitants dubious If not impossible.
Consider the human makeup Of
"Indonesia." The word is, itself, in
tellectually confusing. A more ac-
curate term is the historic designa-
tion of Netherlands Indies" More
than three centuries of Dutch CO.
lonial expansion and development
has spread Dutch rule over vast
belt OF islands stretching east and
west along the Equator for more
than 5000 miles. That island chain
contains such diverse elements as
the densely settled and industrious
Javanese, with their Moslem religion
and culture, the Christianized and
traditionally pro-Dutch people of
Amboina, the wild Dyak tribes of
Borneo and the negroid savages of
New Guinea. Sundered from each
other by wide stretches of sea, these
diverse peoples have nothing in
common but the nexus of alien
Dutch colonial rule. The present in
dependence movement centers in
Java with offshoots in neighboring
Sumatra. The returning Dutch au-
thorities have either been welcomed
or peaceably accepted in the "outer
Possessions" from Borneo through
Celebes and the Moluccas to New
Guinea, Flores and the Dutch por-
ton of Timor:
Why, then, should an insurgent
regime in Java be recognized as the
spokesmen for the whole Neither
lands Indies? Indeed. what likeli-
hood is there that the agents of
such a regime would be accepted by
these other peoples as willingly as
restoration Of the Dutch author
tiles? The logic Of the situation
would therefore appear to favor a
program of evolution such as the
Netherlands government proposes in
It's commonwealth plan.

Geneva AS UNO CAPITAL

To the Editor Of The Star:
respectfully would like to ask why
the building Of the League OF Nations
ut Geneva cannot be occupied imme-
diately rs . temporary or permanent
home Of the United Nations Organiza-
tion7
1t was planned and maintained to ac-
complish exactly the same results that
We prayerfully hope from the UNO.
The same nations as those now in
terested-with the addition Of the
United States-contributed to its build
Ing and support. 1t Is ample in scope
to carry out the proposed activities.
1t is beautifully situated in 4 country
friendly to the whole world. Trans
portation now is no Obstacles the
delegates win probably always travel by
air.
The big nations which will have to
make the largest contributions needed
to buy the most expensive lands to be
found and to build great plant are
insolvent. They all are borrowing to pay
their debts and to take care of their
present needs. Why add to their des-
perate financial plight by taking on the
great expense Of a new set Of buildings?
The materials and labor which would
be required-both at the highest prices
certainly should be utilized in building
homes for our returning soldiers and
sailors.
Let us practice the economy we preach,
let us build on the foundation we al
ready have-and assure the devastated
nations Of the world that peace, not
pomp, Is the objective OF the United
Nations Organization. L. FRENCH.
