NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE
BY William Green

Labor has fought from the begin
ming for the enjoyment of the right to
organize into free, democratic unions
and to bargain collectively on equal
terms with employers. 1t cannot af-
ford to compromise upon these funda-
mental principles. Through its stead
fast devotion to this line of procedure,
organized labor has established it.
self as q vital force in the economic
and industrial life of the nation. 1t
has modified its economic strength
and through the exercise of its pow
er, strength and influence has served
to promote the economic and social
welfare of the working men and wo-
men of our country.
We cannot accept a regimented eco
nomic philosophy formulated and i'm
posed upon the workers by the gov
ernment. Instead, we insist and de-
mand that labor shall be accorded the
right to form its own unions, to con-
solidate and utilize its resources and
its economic strength in conformity
with democratic principles and proce-
dure.
Freedom and liberty are just as
essential to the welfare of the work
ers as the Four Freedoms are to all
the people of our own country and all
others throughout the world.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

these vital goods.
The industrial cooperatives need
mechanics to set up, teach the running
and repair Of American machines al
ready on their way.
If you want to know more about
these jobs get in touch with Richard
Pastor, at Indusco, 425 Fourth Avenue,
New York City.
International morality and justice
are fundamental to world peace,
George Meany, secretary-treasurer of
the American Federation of Labor
points out in the following excerpt
from speech which he delivered in
Harrisburg, Pa:
"We of the AFL firmly believe that
all peoples without exception, what
ever their color and whatever the part
of the earth in which their homes may
happen to be located, are entitled to
the opportunity to develop, to govern
themselves and to strive for better
economic conditions. Future peace de-
pends upon fair treatment during the
years ahead for all peoples who up
to now have been ruled and exploited
by other nations.
''The philosophy that might make
right never has, in the past, brought
us permanent peace. History tells that
power politics cannot bring peace. Our
own capacity to remember, even for
a short time back, tells US that peace
cannot be purchased by appeasment.
The time has come for a real effort
to achieve permanent world peace on
the basis-yes, the only possible basis,
of international morality and justice.
The entire world looks to the United
States for moral leadership in this eff
fort. Our representatives in Washing
ton must accept this challenge"

Truman's Call To Aid
Starving Commended

New York City (ILNS) .-Pledging
support of President Truman's an
nounced plans for campaign to in
crease food supplies to famine-strick-
en- countries of Europe and Asia, the
American Association for the United
Nations telegraphed the President of
it's belief that the United Nations Or
ganization 'scannot be built on a foun-
dation Of hunger and misery"
The telegram, signed by William
Emerson and Clark M. Eichelberger,
president and director, respectively,
of the association, said:
american Association for the
United Nations strongly supports
your action in calling meeting to solve
problem of feeding the starving in
Europe and Asia. Acute need for feed
ing hungry peoples in war-torn coun-
tries makes it imperative that imme-
diate action be taken to alleviate their
suffering. We believe the weight Of
American public opinion will support
whatever measures are necessary to
provide needed food. A prosperous and
democratic world and q successful
United Nations Organization cannot
be built on q foundation of hunger
and misery. Our association will do
everything possible to back the pro-
gram"

The Chinese workingman needs help
from American labor /. not to feed
him during famines, not to clothe him
in the winter and not to house him
after floods. He needs help to prevent
famines, to prevent floods and to en-
able him to take care of his own basic
needs.
The industrial cooperatives in China
have enabled thousands of Chinese
men and women to help themselves;
to produce the many things their coun-
try needs so desperately; to set up
hundreds of worker owned -and-run
cooperatives throughout the interior;
to enable the people to obtain a de-
cent standard of living.
In order to build this peoples move
ment the cooperatives must grow now.
1t will be too late if the slum factories
in the coastal cities drain the country
side of its human material to use in
making cheap gew-gaws to undermine
labor standards in the rest of the
world. The industrial cooperative men,
bers believe that higher standard of
living for the Chinese people means
a better standard for labor throughout
the world.

Homma So Gentle
He Summed Hunting,
His Wife Testifies

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, Feb. Lit. Gen. Masa-
haru Homna, who has accepted full
moral responsibility for the Bataan
march of death. was described today
by his wife as SO gentle that be
summed hunting as a sport.
Homma, charged with response
bility for the horrible deaths OF ST.
600 Americans and Filipinos in his
short tenure as commander Of the
Philippines, bent and convulsed
with tears as his pretty wife testi-
fed:
II am proud Of the fact that I am
the wife of Gen. Homma. I have
one daughter and my one wish Is
that some day she will marry man
like the general"
Pleaded for Peace.
A tear glistening In her own eye,
the tiny kimono clad Japanese
woman animatedly and earnestly
testified. that Homma thrice tried
to make peace"--after the fall OF
Marking, when he pleaded that un-
less peace was restored Immediately
lit will be disastrous; after Han
kow fell and again when the Kuni-
ako Koiso cabinet was formed after
the loss of Saipan-"but he did not
succeed"
Homma, admittedly In disfavor
with the war-making Hideki Tojo
party, was removed as Philippines
commander much sooner than he
expected and never was given any
other position" she added.
The generals heavy shoulders con-
vulsed and he bent low over the de-
fense counsel table, handkerchief
at his eyes, as his wife for 20 years
attempted to refute copious prosecu-
ton testimony describing the death
march and other horrors.

Mrs. Homma was the last of five

Earlier today, Homma tried to

Concluding two days on the stand
