DELEGATE SPEAKS
 | OUT IN DEFENSE OF ! ALASkA ROAD COM.
Resents ReeentReporf Made Congress bYHouse
 Committee on Roads

Protesting that the recent inter- m report of the House Roads Com mittee on roads in Alaska has done "irreparable harm" to the Alaska Road Commission, Delegate E. L. Bartlett has submitted his prelim- nary views on the report to the Chairman of the committee to be sollowed by an address of greater ength on the subject.
 In part, the Roads Committee re- ,ort stated, Tt would be incorrect
 o say that the committee was im- ,ressed favorably with the manner n which the Alaska Road Commis- sion handles its assignment for maintenance and new construction. A careful survey of work being done by the Alaska Road Commis- sion in maintaining, repairing and
 ngaging in new construction work on the Richardson Highway in AL aska between Valdez and Gulkana, especially in the vicinity of Key stone Canyon, left the committee with the impression that the gov srnment is not receiving adequate 5alue for funds appropriated by the Congress for work to be done under the supervision of the Alaska Road Commission in Alaska. your committee will incorporate in this report a recommendation that the Territory of Alaska be included in he provisions of the present Fed sral-Aid Highway Act so that the Territory may benefit from the provisions of that legislation and she government may receive more value from it's highway investments n Alaska under the proven man. agement of the Public Roads Ad- ninistration."
 Allegations False
 Stating that he believes the al- legations against the Alaska Road Commission are entirely without merit" Delegate Bartlett informed Chairman Robinson he intends at an early date to answer them in detail. Delegate Bartlett said fur ther, Likewise, I consider it neces- sary to note here that although I am a member of the Committee on Roads I was not given an oppor- tunity to read the report prior to it's publication nor was I consulted about the alleged errors of the Alaska Road Commission.
 ARC Valuable Agency
 We in Alaska--and I think that statement would include an over whelming majority of all the people in the Territory-consider and consider, the Alaska Road Commis- sion as an especially valuable agency of government, both while it was under the War Department and now when it is bureau of the Department of the Interior. The Alaska Road Commission has, with very limited funds, filled magnifi- gently its function of building pio- neer roads at low costs While 1t may be true that this era is past and new methods should be em- ployed to expand Alaska's road system, nevertheless I desire to state categorically that had not the Alaska Road Commission been in existence our transportation plight would be sad, indeed, today.
 Before long I expect to address you at greater length on this sub- ject because I consider a complete exploration of the matter abso- lutely essential in view of the re- flection cast upon the ability and integrity of those men in charge of the Alaska Road Commission who are. firmly believe, public servants of the highest standard"

AMERICAN LABOR AND GERMANY

ITHANKS TO THE American Federation OF
Labor the trade unions of Germany are now
receiving American official help. A recent report
Iby President William Green told of the measures
taken by our civil and military officials to put the
German labor movement, and with it democracy,
back on it's feet
According to these sources, German trade
union property, confScated outright by the NaZl
Iregime or diverted into the channels OF the Nazl-
|created German Labor Front is being returned to
the rightfu owners; American equipment, sup
plies<an other surplus goods are made available
to the unions; weekly union paper is published;
radio time and other means to assure the proper
functiOnlng OF the German labor organizations
have been granted.
This is most welcome information, and Amer
lean trade unionists will gladly give credit where
it belongs namely to the State Department and
the occupation authorities. Unfortunately, the let
ter from Gen. Lucius d. Clay, Deputy Military
Governor of the American zone, to President
Green referred to German union leaders in a man.
ner likely to disparage their efforts to rebuild the
shattered ranks of German labor. Commenting on
the appreciation of these leaders for the help
given them, Gen. Clay added, perhaps unnten-
tionay, that "they have more liberty of thought
and action than they know what to do with
The revival of German labor is closely bound
up with the question-often aired in these col
umns-of the future of the German people and
indeed of the entire political and economic orlen-
tation of Europe. The Importance of that issue
has been underscored by former U. S. Ambassador
William c. Bullitt in his thoughtful book >"Ihe
Great Globe ITSELF in these words:
Zone of the vital questions which demands i'm
mediate constructive action by the great democ-
racies is the unsolved problem of drawing the Ger
man people along the road to democracy. We
cannot reeducate the German people by applying
Nazi standards in our treatment of them, or
merely by criticism and punishment of their for
mer idols. We must alot to them not only justice,
but also mercy and hope There can be no recon-
ciliation between the Germans and the democratic|
peoples of Europe, if we fail to bring forward con-
crete proposals for the reincorporation of the Ger
man people in the body of Western civilization.
The German people cannot be kept permanently
in an economic and political ghetto, however much
they may have merited such treatment. They
do not want Communism, but they want to live,
and if the western democracies can offer them
only chaos and starvation they will prefer the ex
istence in slavery offered them by the Soviet
Union"
The United States has taken an important
step to free German labor from the bondage off
the past but it is only step. American labor
knows that more, much more is required for al
real and lasting solution of the German problem.
Without that solution there can be no peace, mol
and no prosperity

ANOTHER SURRENDER

THE FAILURE Of the Senate to act on the anti
polltax bill is another disgraceful surrender tC
reactionary minority rule.
Everybody knows that this bill, repeatedly
passed by the House, would be enacted If 1T ac
tually came to Senate vote.
But small polltax minority has been able tc
defeat the will of the majority by filibusters ano
other maneuvers to prevent a vote.
1t has only succeeded however, through the
colluson and appeasement policies of proclaimed
opponents of the polltax, who could easily squelc
filibuster and pass the bill if they all voted foi
a cloture motion to limit debate.
There is some encouragement, however, in the
fact that for the first time majority of the Sen
ate voted for coture on this issue, though the
vote of 80 to 33 still fell short of the necessary
two-thirds majority.
So long as 10 million Americans are effectively
denied the right to vote by the polltax, this issue
will and must be kept alive.
The potax is one of the chief reasons why
Congress so repeatedly fails to reflect the progress
sive wishes of most Americans.
A Gallup survey shows that only 50 per cent
of adult American citizens voted in the last elec-
tions compared with 80 per cent of the citizens
in the recent French and Italian elections, 76 pei
cent in Britain and "A per cent in Canada
The polltax is one of the reasons for this SAD
commentary on American democracy. But it is
not the only reason.

GOOD ADVICE FOLLOWED

SHOWING THAT the American Federation OF
~ Labor has been in the lead with constructive
policies, the federation's monthly survey says
president William Green's message urging
workers to exercise self-discipline during the OPA
emergency and to increase production met with
immediate response throughout the country
American workers followed his lead; there were
few strikes in July and production rose to new
postwar peak. Thousands of business men
throughout the nations vast network of stores
factories and other industries held the price line
This teamwork carried the country through the
emergency without disastrous price increases.
"The federation is pleased to report also that
in number of industries where most or all work
ers are AFL members, such as cement, brick,
anthracite coal, paper and pulp and newspaper
printing, preliminary figures show that produc-
ton per manhour has already risen well above
last years level"
The report in the foregoing is encouraging
news, proving that American workers know good
advice when they see it and will follow it.

BEWARE OF THE IN-AND-OUTERS

THERE is certain type of people processing
exceptional ability who regard the trade union
movement as means to an end, for themselves
personally y-sometimes shutting back and forth
between an active position in the laSor movement
and one in private industry, sometimes represent
ing the employers.
They are the type of people who think they
possess more brains and capabilities than the run
of-mine Of the trade unonists.
Being of an opportunist disposition, they can
get awfully enthusiastic over a situation involv-
ing labor and management, depending what
side of the fence they are on for the moment. For
a group of workers to rest their case in the hands
of individuals of this type is a mistake. There is
always the question of what they will do in a
given situation requiring integrity, honesty and
loyalty to purpose.
1t is better for a group of workers to retain
complete control over their own affairs and not to
depend on the so-caed brilliant mind that shut
ties back and forth from one side of the table to
the other.

EVENTUALLY-WHY NOT NOW?

LIVERY ONE of the comparatively few, but
IL vitally important strikes in progress In Los
Angeles in which American Federation OF Labor
Unions and their members are involved is the re-
suit of management's refusal to recognize then
employees expressed desire that ALL Unions
shall represent them in collective bargaining. MOI
one Of these major strikes is the result OF a dlS-
pute over wages or working conditions or hours
This does not mean the employees now receive
Union wages or work Union hours under Union
conditions, because they do not. But it does mean
the employers have not objected to ALL wages,
hours and conditions, but do refuse to grant en-
ployees the right to organize and bargain collec-
lively through Unions of their own choosing. The
employers do not say they cannot pay Union
wages In most instances they simply say they
will not agree to a Union shop agreement, without
giving any reason for their stand They admit
their employees have the right to organize and
bargain collectively through the legitimate AFL
Unions.
And so, the AFL strikes in progress prove be-
yond doubt that they are the direct result OF IN
lection of the Los Angeles Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association in the affairs of the employ
ers The M. and M. is making last ditch fight to
preserve for as long possible what 1T can OF It's
rapidly disappearing prestige. 1t is using lntlml-
dation and coercion upon the few employers who
find themselves involved in strikes. Some OF these
employers have admitted this is the truth, and
have stated further they would sign Union agree
ments with the American Federation of Labor
Unions but for pressure exerted by the M. and nj.
So long as these employers take dictation from
the NJ and NJ, Just that long will they subject
themselves to direct economic action by the ALL
Unions 1t would be good business and avert en-
barrassment for them if they would do as most
other employers have done during recent years
cut loose from the M. and NJ, operate their own
business as free American institutions under AFL
agreements Eventually they will do this so why
not now?
