Another Industrial Conference?

It is almost year since representatives of manage and labor gathered Washington at the Secretary o Labors invitation, to work out formula for industrial and speedy reconverson We don't remember much about that conference that at point John Lewis said to Philip Murray Nuts to you and Murray replied "Nuts to you too, sir.'
 We believe however that the recollection is ate ynthesis of what took place. Rival union bc cred So did labor and management representatives The sorry industrial history of the ensuing months reveals how little accomplished.
 Now Walter Reuther, president of the CI.O United Automobile Workers has asked the automobile industry to join with the JAW in petoning President Truman to call another labor-management-p public conference.
 Reuther worried, well he might be, over the present uncertainty of industrial output He points to lay offs the Briggs and Chryser plants due to steel short age He cites the lack of freight And of course he could mention great many other bottenecks The prob em he has decided only be solved at the national n dustrial level"
 There are couple of interesting points the JAW leaders proposal This time it is labor representative and not government official who is suggesting confer And this time Reuther is not aiming angry poemlcs at industry executives The tone of his statement sug gess his conviction that the situation is too serious for wild claims wilder demands and mutually bitter accusations such as have distinguished JAW ndsury dealings in the past
 We'll perhaps another conference would do some good We believe that the facts are already at hand and that the greatest need for the responsible parties to face them squarey and act upon them But still might be well for labor and management and the public to get together again in the light of the bitter industrial lessons that 940 has taught.
 open minds and good to the conference table and attempt really sensible production program We don't know.
 But we do feel certain that Reuther being unwise in excluding government from his projected meeting At last years conference the role largely that of host and adviser Yet another glance at the frs nne months of 1946 reveals that government played leading part in a sorry economic drama
 Neither Mr. Truman nor Secretary schwellenbach can commit Congress to of action. But they along with Messrs Steeman Porter Small and others directly in voved could and should give such conference out ne of policy and intention toward price and material control.
 Labor management and the public might bring the best will in the world to the problem of ending the wave of strikes getting production going and hating the imitation ary spiral But they could not hope for much success with at least general idea of what and how much the gov ernment plans to do, and when.

REMINGTON BECOMES SANE
(Hartford Times


 Declining to continue to be the source for bootleg" fireworks for the Fourth of July for other com- mnnities in this area, including Hartford, which have banned the sale and discharge of fireworks, town meeting in Newington voted to join the list of communities which insist on safe and sane" cele- bration of Independence Day. That was timely and commendable de- cision.
 As long as some communities con- tinue to sell fireworks, it will be very difficult for other cities and towns in the same area, to enforce anti-fireworks ordinances. The temptation has been strong for the exceptions to cash in on these boot leg sales. Nor was it an impress sive spectacle that the American Legion Posts in some instances sponsored the sale. The proceeds were, of course, used to good pur- pose. That could not condone, how ever, for the injuries caused to some children who discharged the explosives.
 The time has passed for it to be necessary to argue the wisdom of an anti-fireworkS Fourth of July Responsibility handled public py- rotechnic displays are not barred but rather encouraged if the need is felt for such outburst of color full celebration. But by no sensi- ble reasoning can sale of soaring, binding, maiming explosives to children or others be justified.
 If a very few more towns in this area will follow Newington's ex- ample, the "safe and sane" Fourth can become an unqualified reality. The time for such action is now before orders have been placed for supplies of fireworks involving the outlay of money, an easy excuse for one more whirl at the fireworks bootleg business.

 Some time ago our friend the plumber decided to build new shop. He needed a supply of water. So he took a peach bough of proper shape and vintage and went walk ing about the site of his building. At a certain point the peach bough turned in his handS-at least he said so. Then he drove a well and sure enough he found supply of water.
 Our scientifically erudite friends scoff at such proceedings. They say that the peach bough turned because of muscular reaction of the man holding it. The fact that he found water there was an acci- dent. Probably he would have found it as quickly at another point where the peach bough remained passive.
 However, the plumber volunteered to come to our place and do bit of divining and he pointed ot several places where he said water would be plentiful. None of those places produced water. At depth of twelve feet there was base of solid rock which defied all further driv- ing operations. Our plumber friend said there was water under the rock. Well, we certainly cannot prove there is not and so the situa- tion is that he remains steadfastly faithful to the powers of a peach bough, even though it failed to furnish us any water.
 Striding about the eonomic land- scape these days we seem to see any number of earnest men and women carrying peach boughs and record ing their actions with. varying de- greeS of satisfaction or diSSatiSfac- tion.
 One of these rods is called full employment" Some time ago we were informed that when this rod assumed the proper position, all the blessed waters would gush forth. We'll, there is full employment here and, as MT. Chamberlin pointed out the other day, there is full employment in Great Britain. The consensus is that affairs here and in Britain can be described as far short of ideal Another rod is ma tional income" and still another is purchasing power" and a while back we met number of gentle men who were voluble about some thing called wage relationship.
 It is undoubtedly true that in 8 smoothly meshing economic ma-

Didya ever hear him on the radio? can understand everything he says He makes it all plain and simple"
 That is quite tribute to Jimmy Roosevelt His father had that quality. GSome people thought he made things too simple some times and maybe Jim- my does, too) The taxicab driver-and undoubtedly much that he said came straight from something he's heard Jimmy say in his daily broadcasts-gives the clue to the success that the son of FDR. is having here in his first venture in politics, State Democratic Chairman.
 Over the radio he has good deal of what his father had. Also in public debate, one Republ can who had taken him on confessed to me. Beyond that he inherited of the political fnesse of his father, of his political organizing ability companied by that charm that smoothed the way so often-as may be deduced from the way he is beginning to pull the badly disorganzed Democratic Party here back into some sort of shape. It is thankesS sort of task, for the party is split among right middle and left The left wing is really roofing footing and plenty powerful
 Jimmy works hard. He's made lot of speeches. He took a caravan through the northern part Of the state, and he's been busy in the southern part Comment is that he is the first state chairman of either party here in long time who really worked at the job.
 What is Jimmy up to?
 You can bet that no Roosevelt does anything just to keep himself busy. He's out for political career of his own. You bank that And he enjoys it. He'll probably build slowly-his present job runs two years But sooner or later you'll see his name ticket.
 If he puts over Will Rogers. Jr, for the U. 8. Senate in this election he'll be well on his way.
 His appeal throws quick. clear light on some things that so many of us forget including the pol tcians Despite all the noisy surface clamor today, there is a basic philosophy of continual progress which can give the average person good life, by whatever you call it. and that has been ob- Scured today by so many side issues-the battle meat, labor; Communism, the stumbling of the Tru- administration, the haste for immediate gains by everybody for himself.
 JanINy Roosevelt seems to have found a way to say it out here So another Roosevelt may be on his way.

chine, there would be full employ ment, adequate national income, a steady flow of purchasing power and proper wage relationship. However, when one uses one or all of these things as the1 1diviners of location of the waters of pros perity, he must still take into ac- count that solid rock may overlay those waters. To get through that rock may require good deal of blasting and digging.
 To get back to our well, We can really do without it. A stream near the house furnishes a good supply of water. It is, of course, neces- sary to pump it uphill.

Argentina Following
1888 Reich Pattern,
Braden Warns in Talk

Argentinas military dictatorship
is following the German pattern Of
1888 to 1885," Assistant Secretary of
State Spruille Braden warned last
night.
The United States, he added, does
not intend to stand idly by while
the Nazi-Fascist theology against
which we fought war endeavors to
entrench itself in this hemisphere. +"
He declared this Government has
no intention of intervening in Ar
gentina by itself, but does intend to
consult other American republics
and ito follow this by such joint
action as may be agreed upon"
Policy of Security.
Mr.. Braden, top State Department
official for Latin-American affairs,
and Ellis o. Briggs, director of the
Departments Office of American
Republic Affairs. discussed the ad-
miristration's Inter-American policy
in a National Broadcasting Co.
University of the Air" program.
Our policy is one of Joint action
with the other republics-group ac-
ton for our mutual security" Mr.
Braden said.
He asserted that Axis forces used
Argentina as a base of operations in
this hemisphere all during the war
and that nothing has been done yet
against the most powerful and
therefore, most dangerous Axis ele-
ments" in that country.
Urges Careful Action.
The military regime dominated by
Col. Juan Peron has followed rec
ognized Nazi tactics" to maintain
power over a preponderantly demo-
cratic Argentine people" Mr.. Braden
declared.
Mr.. Braden said the United States
must be extremely careful" in US
ing its great military and economic
power, in order to avoid any suspi-
cion of single-handed intervenment
in neighboring countries.
But we also have to recognize, :"
he declared. that not to use our
power in the interest of peace and
freedom may be misusing that power
just as much as if we brought our
influence to bear on the wrong side
of an issue. We must lean over back
wards to avoid intervention by &C
ton or in action alike"

BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star STAFF Writer.

SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. 5.-Mrs
Eleanor Roosevelt, in her first press
conference en- route to the United
Nations General Assembly meeting
in London, urged today that the
first session do something. even or
a temporary basis, about the prob.
lem of refugees and displaced per.
sons which may come before the
assembly.
Il do not think you can be indif
ferent to the misery that exists in 8
tremendous area" she declared
and just think of people dyine
without doing something about it
IF it is possible to do anything al
this first meeting it should be done
and the sooner the better, because
according to reports, people are
dying at the rate of so a day in
Germany. Supposedly we are feed
ing them. I think that something
should be done, even on a temporary
basis, to start a movement for such
people. I don't mean by that that
we could take up any permanent
solution such as the Palestine ques-
ton, but something could be done
to start moving people in different
directions.
Wants Functioning Organization.
Turning to the work of the as
sembly meeting ahead, Mrs. Roose-
velt said, Il have one main interest
that we set up an organization
that can function. / think that is
the main objective of everybody on
our delegation. Naturally, having
the kind of background that I have,
my interest is in the things that
contribute to war. The principal job
Is to eliminate the causes that bring
nations to war"
Mrs. Roosevelt expressed her anx-
iety over the attitude of Americans
generally in this postwar period
especially those who have not ac-
tually suffered on a war front. She
said the returning soldiers and
women who were overseas must take
the lead in bringing home to the
people what war actually means and
how necessary it is to avoid another
Il do feel that the American peo-
pie have far different attitude al
this time than they did after the
close of the First World War" she
added. The atomic bomb, too, she
said, had helped to bring them to a
realization that something drastic
must be done to maintain peace.
L don't think we have to 60 to
war with Russia" Mrs. Roosevelt
replied when asked if she took stock
in the pessimistic talk of future
trouble between the two nations
i don't think we have to go to war
with anybody. But it depends a
good deal on our willingness to think
about people as people. Why should
the Russian people want war any
more than we do? Shouldn't they
be as much or a little more afraid
OF us than We are of them, and why
shouldn't we try to build a little
confidence? There is no surer way
OF going to war than being afraid OF
