U. S. SHIPS WOULD HELP

A serious crisis threatens Italy un-
less action is taken in time. Failure
of the Allies to agree on peace treaty
for Italy has left her economy in a
state of chaos. Cold and starvation
face hundreds of thousands in Italy and
her industries are at a standstill. This
situation provides just the opportunity
Fascist and Communist elements want
to gain political strength.
Italians in South America are eager
to send great quantities of food sup
plies, and 100000 tons of wheat has
been contributed by the Argentine gov
ernment, but no shipping is available
to carry these supplies to Italy. By
chartering to the Italian government
some of our surplus Liberty ships,
many lives could be saved. Transport
of coal would also make it possible
for industry to start and give jobs to
Italian workers. 1t is to be hoped that
our country will make these ships
available, at the earliest possible
moment.

Northwest Paper Unions

Tacoma, Wash. (ILNS).-American
Federation of Labor unions in the
papermaking industry of the North

manufacturers increasing wages, John
Sherman, vice president of the Inter-

here.
The pact covers 80 mills of the
Pacific Coast Association Of Pulp and
Paper Manufacturers employing about
$4,000 workers.
Sherman said that contracts calling

through choice. There was no compul-
sion, no element of coercion from any
source.
At this period it is encouraging that
labor has a greater appreciation for
the work of welfare organizations.
Likewise, it is encouraging that Com
munity Chests are rapidly ridding
themselves of the stigma of poor re-
lief" and gearing themselves to pro-
grams which will benefit people in all
walks of life.
Labor knows that civic responsible
ties never end, and therefore looks with
great hope to further development Of
community services. 1t pledges its
continued active support and partici-
patton to the programs of the health
welfare and recreational agencies Of
America.

ORGANIZED LABOR AND
WELFARE AGENCIES

Wars, as rule, are not constructive
to the welfare of humanity. The sacri-
flee of nations resources and energy
to the cause of battle is costly TRACE
dy even though military victory is
achieved. Sometimes, however, devel-
opments occur which bring about wide
spread benefits.
Out of World War II comes a dis
tinct benefit in the form of increas-
ingly cordial relationships between
organized labor, Community Chests,
Councils of Social Agencies and other
welfare organizations. This brings
great promise of community better
ment.
The growth of this relationship took
root early in the war when voluntary
agreements stressing national COOP
GRAFTON were entered into between la
Dor and Community Chests. A feature
of the agreements provided that labor
receive full public recognition for it's
Z efforts in this field.
Today, as a direct result of this
wartime undertaking, tens of thou
sands of volunteers from the ranks of
labor serve as representatives on well
fare boards and committees, solicit
funds during Chest campaigns, and
support endeavors in behalf of COM
munity service. These cooperative ac-
tions for the common good bring to-
gether worker and employer, Protest
ant, Catholic and Jew.

ment of better relationship came about

President Truman's recent directive
for the admission Of refugees to the
United States up to the limit Of the
immigration laws has focused atten-
tion again on the whole refugee prob
lem, with particular reference to refu-
gees in this country. A new pamphlet
throws light on the problem of how
those already here have fitted into
the American scene.
An overwhelming majority of refu-
gees, despite greater adjustment diff
ficulties than are faced by ordinary
immigrants in normal times, have be-
come well-integrated into American
community life and are now self-sup-
porting, report Maurice R. Davie of
Yale University and Samuel Koenig
of Brooklyn College in the pamphlet,
The Refugees Are Now Americans.
The pamphlet, published by the Pub
lie Affairs Committee, New York, is
based on comprehensive nation wide
study conducted by the Committee for
the Study of Recent immigration from
Europe.
"Fully half of the refugees have
been granted citizenship. Most of the
rest being in various stages of get
ting it,"-the authors state. This is felt
to be a remarkable record considering
the brief period of time they have
been here.

 Freight, Passenger
 Volume in Four
 Years Unparalleled

Boston, Jan. IA (UP) Foul year unparalleled freight and pas senger volume have placed United States railroads in their best fl- nancial position in many years, the United States Business Service re- ported today.
 UBS said that heavy volume plus intensive use of equipment lifted the pretax net of Glass I roads to a peak of $2,200, 900 900 in l043 as compared with an annual l936-Se average of about $75 100000 and Q prewar high of $900 ,O00, 900 in 1928.
 From l940 through 1924, the rail- roads, including those reorganized, reduced long-term debt from $l1,- 300 000.O 900 to $9,8O0y 900 900 and, at the same time, accumplated size able reserves, it was said. As a result of debt retirement and large- scale refundings, UBC said, interest charges were reduced during this period by about $67, 900 900 or more than 14 per cent, bringing such charges to the lowest level since the early twenties.
 The service said that Glass I roads returned to peacetime opera tions with working capital of more than $2,O00, ,0O0O 900 at the end of September l945, as compared with less than $250, 900, 900 at the end of 1889.
 The service added that traffic volume promised to remain very high by prewar standards for sev- eral years.
