Doing Business with Russia
lNeW York Times

(New York Times
 In international affairs it is not necessarily true that the customer is always right. Nevertheless It IS easier to keep friendly terms with nations to which we sell goods and from which buy goods than with nations with which we have relationships For this welcome the Commerce Departments announcement that two of it's representatives, in a six-week visit to Moscow, have laid the foundation for development of closer economic contacts" between Russia and. the United States in the future"
 If Messrs Lewis Lorwn and E. C. Ropes have achieved this much they have undone some of the harm their chief Secretary Wallace did in his Madison Square Garden speech, and they have done this by working out the sound part of his policy. For no wise man will disagree with MT. Wallaces advocacy of better relations with Russia with his recomnlenda- tion made in letter of July g to President Truman for a trade mission to Moscow, Indeed, Secertary Wallace urging collaboration with Russia in the industrial economic development of in which we have joint interests partially the Secretary Wallace who cnends that we have business in the political affairs of eastern Europe Political peace must precede economic collaboration
 We see no reason why free-enterprise America should buy goods it needs from Communist Russia nor why it should not sell goods to Communist Russia The individual Russian and the individual American can gain by such exchanges If we sell on credit we would know that would be repaid, just as Detroit manufacturer does when he sells credit in Wyoming or Pennsylvania. With this exception, are willing to risk strengthening communism by selling our products to the Sovies if they in turn, not afraid of strengthening free enterprise by supplying some of what We lack here We ought to try to meet the Russians halfway at every point where they are willing to come half way We can do this and still be firm when they will not come than one-tenth of the way

ALAsKA'S SCHOOL TEACHERS

In spite of the way in which Alaskans are often criticized for supposedly failing to meet their obga- tions of good government once in while you can lind
 bright spot One of those is in the field of education
 The Territorial Legislature and the people of Alaska have rarely tried to skimp in proVdng luhoS for good educational system land where costs are very high and administration difficult Teachers salaries were raised and a retirement system estab- shed with pay scales set for each division to make up for differences in the cost of living. As a result, Aaskas schools have remained open and competent teachers have been secured.
 So this is one field in which Alaska has surpassed the States.
 In NorWalk, Connecticut, recently teachers went on strike for higher wages, closing schools for nme days before receiving 10 per cent wage increase. Elsewhere teachers were leaving their jobs quietly to take positions in other occupations paying more money In Nebraska 38 schools closed because Of lack of teachers The National Education Association esti- mates 100000 children are not in school because ot lack of teachers and almost as bad-many more chill cren are studying under persons lacking the qualiflca tions to teach
 Writing in the Saturday Review of Literature sev- eral years ago William Waller professor at Columbia University summarized the situation
 We may as well face it: The social status of the teacher is huniating and that fact has much to do with teacher unrest In the minds of the people the teacher is a slightly ridiculous character who is not quite man nor a normal woman. Even on the national scene on the highest level of life, pol tcians can still make capital cut of the fact that some bureaucrats are suspected of having once been college professors although professors have higher standing than other teachers.
 Local communities have been infinitely ingenious in devsing ways to make the lite of the teacher

LEWIS HELPS NAZI OIL

The United Mine Workers boss, incidentally, played role in help ing his friend Davis get hold of Mexican oil for the Nazi Navy. Describing this, the Rogge report says:
 On March l8 1888, Mexico ex- propriated the oil properties of certain American, British and Dutch companies, A month later. on April l8 between and pm, John L. Lewis telephoned Alejan- dro Garlic at Mexico City "a lead CT of the Mexicon Labor Move ment.
 Lewis told Garlic that Davis had left New York on the 3 pm. plane enroute to Mexico City, as- sured Carille that Davis was 'ab- Solutely all right and told Garlic to tell President Cardenas that Germany and Italy were the only countries with which it would be safe Tor Mexico to deal. Lewis in- structed Garlic to see President Cardenas that night and tell him these things without fail"
 Various other visits between Lew Is and the Mexicans are described

Power from the Atom
New York Sum


 An electrical plant could obtain it's current from atomic power almost cheaply from coal, Dr. Charles A. Thomas of the five authors of the Acheson- -Lilentha report atomic energy control, told members of the American Chemical Society. He based this upon estimate that an atomic power plant producing 75O00 kilowatts be built in the Eastern United States for abouot S25,000000 Assum ing operation at full capacity and interest charges at per cent several groups of engineers have concluded that the power could be produced at the cost of ap proximately 08 cents kilowatt hour coal-powered plant of the same capacity, built at cost of S10- 100000 and getting it's fuel at $7 ton, would turn out it's power at a cost of about 0 65 cents.
 Equality in cost of the power, Dr. Thomas told the chemists, would be reached if coal went up to $l0 a ton. This, of course, assumes that the costs of an atomic power plant cannot be reduced; he thinks It most reasonable to expect that through standardza- ton of design and construction the cost of nucear be decreased This is something that should be borne in mind by producers of coal and fuel oi especially by their workers whose wages a major item in fuel costs This is a competitive world and power will be bought where it be obtained most cheaply. The apparent gap in costs between power produced by the present fuels and nuclear power is small that miners and oil workers must give Sderation to what would happen if it should close

(Continuea rom Page One) agents. He was the one who was seeing me about oil business in Mexico. He told me that Lewis was not tied up with either of the two major parties but was a free lance as far as political decisions were concerned and was one of the few people who understood Germany's position. He presented himself as a very good friend of John L. Lewis. He told me that Lewis was very influential; that he was backed by the trade unions; and that he was very important for a positive attitude towards Germany. Davis told me that by the use of his influence on Lewis, he could influence the elections in such a manner so that the re-elec- tion of Roosevelt which, i'll his opinion. would mean war, would be prevented
 The Rogge report then continues:
 We asked Goering whether in connection with using Lewis to try to defeat Roosevelt in l940, any sum Of money from S3,000,000 to S5,000,000 was mentioned. we had heard that a representative of the Italian Government by the name of Luigi Podesta had taken from S3,0O0,O00 to s5,000O0O in United States currency to the German Consulate General in New York;
 "'I am certain, Goering replied, that I did not talk to Davis about influencing the American Presi- dential election on a basis as ri- diculius as that of S3,O0O,000 to S5,- 100000. If a serious representative had approached me and told me that he could influence the Presi- dental election so that they elect ed a President who was favorably inclined toward Germany, for such a purpose I would have spent $l00,000,00O to S150,000000'

election of President Roosevelt, ' says the Rogge report.
 During the course of the con- versations, Davis stated that he was willing to put millions Of his own money into the scheme to have Lewis help him defeat President Roosevelt, but added that he would need additional financial support from the Nazis. He further stated that in the event he was success ful in having President Roosevelt defeated, he wanted to become Sec retary of State.
 At the third session Goering stated that he had taken their dis cussions up with Hitler and gave Davis an advance copy of the speech which Hitler made on Oc- tober 6, 1889 In that speech as Hertslet himself commented, Hit Ter made no real concessions what ever toward peace.' Qt was to negotiate an appeasement peace that John L. Lewis purported to be interested in the Davis missiom :.
 During the course Of these con- ferences, Davis, according to Herts- let, telephoned from Berlin to Lew is in the United States and report ed to him"
 Ncte-Joachim Hertslet, referred to above, was a director of the German Economic Ministry, who collaborated closely with Davis in buying oil and later came to the United States to confer with both Davis and Lewis.

 Let's hope Alaska continues to offer it's teachers better than they can get elsewhere and what they deserve and that in Alaska continue to treat them as human beings, which is what Professor Waller was saving in the above quotation.

Roosevelt if he did not appease Hitler. Regarding the Berle-Lewis conference, the Rogge report says:
 Lewis mentioned generally the resolutions passed at the CIO con- vention in support of the Presi- dent and pointed out that these re- solutions could just as easily have been passed in opposition to the President. Lewis went on to say that the time had come for a gen. eral peace"
 This was emphatically rejected by Berle.
 Davis and Lewis continued with their plans to sell soil to Germany and at this point Patrick J. Hurley former Secretary of War, entered the secret negotiations.
 Davis and Lewis continued with their scheming," says the Rogge report. Tn January 1940, the Mex ican Minister of Finance, Suarez, came to the United States. He spent two days in New York con- ferring secretly with Harry Sinclair and his attorney, Patrick Hurley At these conferences, not only had Lewis been present, but also Davis Davis had been present at these conferences at the specific request of Lewis.
 "A subsequent conference be- tween Suarez, Harry Sinclair, and Patrick Hurley took place in Wash ington, D. c. At this conference, Lewis was again present. At the subsequent conference, Lewis false ly asserted that by protesting to President Roosevelt he had kept our government from sending stiff note to Mexico in 1888 with reference to appropriation"
 Later the big mine boss actually sat down with HedtSlet of the Ger man Economic Ministry and prom ised to swing the coal miners away from Roosevelt. Describing these conversations, the Rogge report says:
 Towards the end of March l940, according to Hertslet's recollection, he. Davis, and Lewis had an eve ming conference at Davis home in Searsdale, N. Y. They discussed the conference which Davis had had with Goering. Davis told Lewis that he had said to Goering that Lewis could count on the support of 10,000000 workers and could use this support against Roosevelt. Lewis agreed. They discussed the coming elections, and Lewis said that he would come out against the reelection of Roosevelt.
 Thereafter, Hertslet took up the subject matter of this evening meeting with the German Embassy in Washington"
 Thus, John L. Lewis pledged the votes of his miners against Roose- welt six months before the miners themselves knew anything about it. So it was a complete surprise to them when he carried out his pledge and came out for Willkie in OctobN
 What his miners did not know, however. was that the $55,000 for Lewis coast-to-coaSt broadcast was paid by w. R. Davis, the man who had plotted this very thing in Ber- lin with Hermann Goering one year before.

in the Rogge report Mexican labor leader Toledano visited Lewis in Washington later that year, follow ing which Lewis paid a return visit to Mexico City.
 With the help and support of Lewis, the Rogge report continues, Davis did secure control of ex- propriated Mexican oil' Thus the oil seized from American and Bri- tish companies was sold to the German Navy through Davis and his friend John L. Lewis.

9-Year Fight Ends
In Victory For
UphOlsterers' Union

Cincinnati, o. (ILNS).-A 9-year
struggle for genuine industrial democ-
racy at the Cincinnati Coffin Co. end
ed with victory for the workers when
they junked company union, disown-
ed the fake outfits leaders and voted
for the Upholsterers' international
Union of N. A. by more than to 1.
The official NLRB tally was: Local
156, 210; company union, 81; no union,
5.
The successful campaign by the
workers to free themselves from the
hampering grip of the company union
was assisted by Organizer Robert
Roulston and Regional Representative
Ernest Bernhardt, Business Agent of
Local 156, UIU.
Prior to the election, the Cincin-
natl workers had voted the company
union out of existence and with the
exception of the fake outfits lead
ers, joined the UIU. Proving their
subservient nature, the company union
leaders disregarded the mandate OF
their constituents and threatened to
tie up the NLRB with lawsuits and in
functions unless the union" was put
on the ballot.
Confident of their majority and
armed with the strength all genuinely
organized workers enjoy, the workers
agreed to give the company union a
place on the ballot and then trounced
it into oblivion. Negotiations are be-
ing opened for a standard UIU con-
tract and increased wages.

Steve Sumner Dies
At 95; Ill Long Time

Chicago (ILNS) )-Steve Sumner,
eolorful Chicago labor leader known
to trade unionists all over the nation,
died March at the age of 95. He
retired in 1889.
Sumner, one of the founders and
for more than 35 years an official of
the AFL Milk Wagon Drivers Union,
won national prominence during the
late 1920's and early 1930's by his
fight against the old Capone and other
gangs which he accused of trying to
gain control of the union.
His union office was converted into
veritable fortress, with guns, bull
let proof glass and guards. He SINH
larly fortified his South Side home
and he drove around in an armored
automobile once owned by Samuel
Insul, the late utilities magnate.
In 1881 Robert G. Fitchie, the union
president, was kidnapped and Sumner
said he paid $4,000 ransom to Murray
Humphreys, one-time Capone lieuten-
ant, and George (Red) Barker, gang
ster since slain, for his release. The
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 1912,
held that the 1881 taxable income of
Humphreys included an undeclared
$4,000 he allegedly received as a
kidnap ransom payment.
Sumner, a native of Cleveland, came
to Chicago in 1879.
Funeral services were held here on
March 7. Burial was Napoleon, O.
