 AND WHEREAS. the fact that these troops are equipped with American weapons, clothing and food, that are being transported on American ships by American seamen make it appear in the eyes of the native populations that our government is carrying out the imperialst policies of the French and British governments. And then this one: AND WHERE AS, we, as American Merchant Seamen, as far back as 1886. attempted by strikes and protest to bring before the American public the then dangerous policy that our government was following in allowing cer tain selfish and greedy vested interests tc sell and ship guncotton, oil and scrap iron to Japan. Our protests and strikes against this policy were con- demned by this powerful and reactionary group which instgated investigation by the notoriousy biased Dies Committee. :. etc"
 They go ahead to say that they believe this vested interest" group As involved in the deal they find themselves part of now. and that they should be exposed to public opinion They're protesting the use of their ships for their current duty which brings them into the orbit of the general T Wanna Go Home" movement.
 There are two points here. The first is that that communication obviously never came from the Gl level. Its content. phrase0logy and employment of such terms as "mperialist" and vested interests" leave different set of fingerprints.
 But tine more important is that neither the the slightest authority to intervene in ali issue of this type. That's part of why the Army cracked down.
 At conservative estimate must have received 8 thousand Resolutions" and slightly less formal ized documents such the quoted curing fhe last few weeks That's not counting personal letters from fed-up individuals They've come in greater number These others are usually mineograDhed, sometimes printed, form letters. apparently mailed to some master list of Congressnen columnistg and commentators It seems fair guess that somebody here is providing the lists, and maybe the word- ing of the documents. Such lists aren't available in Saigon, French Indo-Chna, Frankfurt, Germany 0 in Chang Kai-sheks realm. and it's dollars to dog tracks that no man begged down in one of those places call all the names and addresses as out.
 That's probably the rest Of the rsason why the Army cracked down.

Birthday of a President

Today is the birthday of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt former President of the United States. The striking ep sodes in the life of of the most outstanding Presidents given to the country and world less than year ago at the time of his death There is need to review the past of this ilustrous man.
 He was the who made the most impression on the most people during his life It something of colnc- dence that Mr. Roosevelt who such radio personality should received tremendous euogy that lasted days via the radio.
 Though it is less than year since Roosevelts death events have been tremendous in since that early spring day of 945 that the late Presidents passing like something in the dim past
 As the month closes and the Infantie Paralysis appeal again comes to close thoughts center this unusual man. whose life active who crowded into his life much that constructive who had the good and bad will of his public but who most certainly made lasting name for himself

 nothing. But here is the pay-off AS Schwellenbach read through the memo, he found it was written by none other than John Steelman, the White House aid on labor relations.
 And the reason schwellenbach could not sum. marize the memo was that he had not taken the time to read it himself before coming to the White Housel
 Most Cabinet members carefully organize their ideas before coming to the White House in order to shoot fast during precious minutes they with any President But perhaps Schwellenbach was thinking of the leisurely days when he and Harry were Sem ators together.
 This illustrates some of the background reasons why Truman finds himself in exactly the same posi- ton FDR, with divided responsibility in his Labor Department Miss Perkins former Secretary of Labor, found her jobs eased out from under her. The same thing has happened to Schwenenbach = largely through his own fault.
 It was schwellenbach who first brought steelman in as White House labor adviser. Now he wishes he hadn't-if for no other reason than because Mrs Schwellenbach razzes him so much about it.
 For today the Secretary of Labor finos himself partly isolated from the White House by the man he himself placed alongside the President.
 Actually Schweenbach is a broad-gauged and basically fine person, whose work is marred by an unhappy faculty for making little but disturbing mistakes. His failure to read over a memo before bringing it to the White House is case in point His decision to sit personally through every session of the mine-strike negotiations is another It wore him out All negotators relieve each other in shifts but not Lew Schwellenbach. While John L. Lewis took alternate shifts off, Lew sat through every one
 
 It was Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago who finally tipped the scales with a long-distance phone mes sage to the White House which helped get CTO meat packers back to work. Here is the inside story of what happened
 Secretary of Labor schwelenbach had promised the meat packers that after the government had seized packing plants he would make retroactive whatever wage increase later was recommended by the Fact-Finding Board But suddenly the Justice Department and the Budget Bureau overrule0 him. They said no such promise could be made
 Naturally, this riled the meat workers

TAXPAYER ASSAILS CITY OFFICIALS FOR NEW
 EXAMINATIONS
WATERBURY, CONN.
 JAN. 29, f946

Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 After waiting for what seemed ages for the mayor to come out in the open and reveal his stand on this controversial issue, the taxpay- ing public has finally been treated to the finest piece of political dou- bletalk ever conceived by any poll itician. The speech was evidently designed to lull the indignant tax payer into state of passive resist ance.
 I dare say that if the mayor had stayed in Waterbury at the time the people received the notice of new assessments he probably would have kept pace with developments and he would not find himself pleading that he did not have sufficient time and figures to give the matter a complete study, the result being that we have been treated to a treatise more befuddled than ever. Time is marching on and if We wait any longer to await developments relative to what sort of relief. Mir. Aldo Jenks contemplateS we are sure to be subjected to another dis illusion, for by his declared stand ing on the matter he has shown that he does not propose anything worthy of the term relief.
 In an interview which I had with Mir. Horan a few days after I re- ceived my new assessment, he de- clared that if this revaluation had not been made it would have been necessary to raise the rate 21s or 3 mills. Well, by any sensible req soning I can't see how he figures paying $70 more than last year on the new assessment compares with SlO more which I would pay if the rate was raised 2la mills on the old valuation, which l maintain was fair, Mir. Horan notwithstanding. Perhaps it is another one of MT. Horans scientific calculations, since his revaluation program was Scien- tifically arrived at. He did not off, fer any scientific suggestion as to how MT. Taxpayer was to pay this increase. I suggest that MT. Mona gan, MT. Horan and MT. Jenks do little more studying of the econ- omic problems of the workingman homeowner, if they are at present unaware of them.
 The mayor cited one case where a home was listed at $50 dollars. Well that is the situation they should have tackled and brought these inequalities to where they be- longed, and coupled with raise of say, 2 or 2ls mills increase on the old list it would have been a source

SCHOOL FOR PARENTS

(Boston PoSD
 An Illinois county judge, con- vinced that juvenile delinquency for the most part could be traced d1- rectly to parents, has inaugurated a school in his court for the parents of all children brought before him. The purpose of the school is to impress upon parents their duty to the.r children and their responsibil- ity in the upbringing of their off, spring. Attendance is compulsory, since those who do not come vol- untarily face charges of contribut- ing to the delinquency of the chil- dren. It's an idea that should work out well.

Few people realize that the

rector, worked ten times as
hard for the government as he
did for himself; that out of
$~1,113,035 paid for his services
in 1914 he paid into the U. S.
Treasury approximately $1,000,-
900.
The take-home pay of this
man and other high income
earners-in and out of Holly
wood-represents only a small
fraction of what their employ
ers thought they were worth
on a box office or management

For from such incomes come

In the preWar period, 1885,

I eligible to receive a pension?
A. Yes. The law provides,
however, than an honorably
