Compelling reasons why the United
States should make the proposed 3A
billion loan to Great Britain are cited
by the American Federation of Labor
in it's monthly economy survey. The
federation does not touch on need OF
the loan to build strong Britain to
stand beside the United States in any
future war, but emphasizes its value
in enabling the British to restore pro-
duction and trade, thus contributing
to the restoration of peaceful econo-
mic relations between nations.
"In normal years." the AFL says,
Britain has to import 60 percent Of
the food her people eat. So small an
island, even by intensive farming,
raises only 40 percent of the food
crops needed by her 48,000,0O0 peo-
pie. She also has to import raw ma
terials for industry.
an wartime, the British people
economize enormously by raising food
in victory gardens, so they cut their
food imports to 80 percent instead Of
so percent. But Britain had to import
enormous supplies of war materials
from other countries, especially the
United States. She needed U. S. dol
lars desperately to pay for these muni-
tions. So she made an agreement with
several other countries whereby all
pooled their dollars and rationed them
to be used only for essentials. These
used pounds sterling for
trade among themselves"

'Lend-lease," the federation con-
tinues, "helped Britain enormously
and made it possible for her to carry
ON. But even with Lend lease aid, the
countries spent large
of cash to buy American
goods during the war-$1 billion in
1914. Britain's overseas liabilities in
creased from So billion to $13.5 bill
ions during the war expenses; she
sacrificed her means of making liv-
ng and endangered her economic fu-
ure to win the war.

day that no sterling-area country can
get any dollars to buy goods in the
U. S. except by special permission of
the monetary authorities in London,
and such permission is granted only
for essentials.
"For instance, no person in Britain
or other sterling-area countries would
be allowed to buy refrigerators, auto
mobiles, ETC., in the U. S. because dol
lars are so desperately needed to buy
food and minimum essentials. So
workers are deprived of jobs in Ameri-
can factories simply because of Brit
ian's shortage of dollars"
"The loan to Britain will supply this
dollar shortage. 1t will open the gates
to trade to all the countries which
use pound sterling for international
purchases and make it possible for
them to get dollars and buy in the
e. S. and in dollar-area countries.
Britain needs this loan immediate
ly to buy food for her people. Until her
destroyed factories can be rebuilt and
production restored she cannot export
enough to pay for it. She needs the
loan also to buy raw materials for
rebuilding, and leather, cotton, wool,
steel from which to make the goods,
she will export. We have cut off Lend
lease. 1t is to be hoped Congress will
approve the loan quickly, for every
day of delay denies food to the British
people"

Phone Union
PdY Rdise
Stops Strike

Washington-(FP).-Just Is scan
minutes before the zero hour for the
nationwide telephone strike Mar. 7
the powerful American Telephone s
Telegraph Co., granted a 17.6c ar
hour wage increase that was accepted
by the Natl. Federation of Telephone
Workers (unaffiliated) as an indus
try pattern.
Everything was prepared for the
walkout in AZ states by 10000 mem
bers of the Federation of Long Lines
Telephone Workers ana l6 other af-
filiated local unions Of the NFTW in
volving another 100000 employees.
Coming at 5:45 a. m. in the face of
a 6 a. m. strike, the settlement news
failed to reach some communities in
time to stop picketing, but local meet
ings across the country quickly rati-
fled the agreement made by national
NFTW officials.
The pattern calls for q minimum
raise of SIS week and maximum Of
SO for plant craftsmen and outside
WOIh-
ers. Traffic operating employees (phone
girls) get raises of from $5 to 81
weekly, as do clerical workers, mes
sage operators and office helpers.
Raises of $5 a week were given care
takers, guards and service employees,
while the maximum of $8 went to ac-
counting assistants, staff and techni-
cal employees.
NFTW Pres. Joseph A. Beirne and
Vice Pres. Cleo f. Craig of AT&T
made the agreement, which averages
17.6c an hour. The company's best Of
fer had been an increase of l5c, while
the NFTW had been demanding 1850
an hour.
The phone settlement also ended the
strike of the Western Electric EN-
ployes Assn. (NFTW) at Kearny, u.
j., which had involved 1900 work
ers since Jan. 3. The same terms were
applied.
Negotiations that ended the strike
held officials of the union and man
agement in conferences for a total Of
60 hours during the final week.

The War Is Over
Stop Killing

The people of the United States
shuddered when they learned IL ,260
Americans had been killed in the s2
days Of desperate fighting at Okin-
ava.
The National Safety Council reports
that 28,500 Americans were killed by
traffic accidents here at home in
1916.
Those 2S,5O0 Americans did not die
in defense Of great cause. Their
sacrifice did nothing to help their
country. They were slaughtered by
carelessness.
There Is only one sure way TO stop
this peacetime carnage on the streets
and highways: Enforce the laws
against speeding and reckless driv-
ing; enforce them by day and night,
year in and year out, without politics
and without mercy on offenders.

Committee Calls
For Minimum
Wage Increase

ashington--(FP).-Sen. James M.
Tunnel Cd, DELI and Sen. Claude
Pepper Cd, Fla.) released report
Mar 5 of the Senate labor committee
majority strongly recommending pas
sage of S. l349 which amends the
wage-hour act of 1888 to raise mini
mum wage standards from 40c to 65c
The meausre provides for the standard
to go to Zoe in two years and to 75c

handling industries, workers in pack
ing, canning and storing of agricul-
tural goods, dairy and milk product
workers, cotton ginning and compress
operators, workers who process cane
and sugar beet products, and poultry
and livestock slaughterers and dress
ers.
Another provision strengthens the
hand of the wages and hours admin
istrator in regulating the hiring Of
child labor to fill mems jobs.
Pointing to the economic bill of
rights outlined by Franklin ID. Roose-
welt, Sens. Pepper and Tunnel said
that this bill follows Pres. Truman's
January recommendation to reach
Roosevets goal by raising minimum
wages and extending their protection
to more workers.
We urge immediate action
by the Congress to the end that sub
standards Of wages in interstate COM
merce shal lbe once and for all abol-
ished from the national scene," the
Senator's said.

Shipyard Owners On
SitdOwn Against Findings

Washington (FP).-The shipbuild-
ing industry is on strike against the
accepted method of judging disputes
with its workers and has refused to
accede to a recommendation for an 18c
wage increase for $4,000 employees.
Although the Natl Wage Stabiliza-
tion Board approved the l8c per hour
boost by approving the findings of
the Natl. Shipbuilding Commission, in
dustry members Of WSB dissented.
Vice-Chairman Sylvester Garrett Of
WSB said the ruling now has the eff
feet OF being a proposal to consider
price increases for shipbuilders "if
and when" they put the wage increase
into effect.
Management representatives insist
ed that unanimous vote of labor
government, and industry shipbuild-
ing delegates was needed to make
ruling legal.
WSB lodged the direct issue of the
legality Of the commissions findings,
saying it took no position, but approx
ed the wage increase.

Crippled
Housing Bill
Posses House

Washington-FP).- The Patman
housing bill, almost unrecognizable
after a week of crippling by Repub!i-
can and poltax Democratic amend
ments, was passed overwhelmingly by
the House Mar. 7. The count was 357
to "a.
Earlier a motion to recommit the
bill to committee, move which would
have killed action this session, was de-
fcated 304 to 76.
AS passed by the House, the bill
limits the powers of Housing Expedit-
er Wilson Wyatt to June 80, 1947.
Wyatt had sought program requir-
ing two years.
Subsidies to manufacturers of build
ing materials, the recognized bottle
neck in housing, were Knocked out by
the southern Democrat Republican
coalition.
Although the heart was taken out of
the bill by the House amendments, it
still orders price ceilings on new
homes, channels scarce materials and
establishes priorities for them, and
gives veterans preference. 1t also au-
thorizes federal mortgage insurance
Of up to 81 billion and orders "rea-
sonable profit" on building materials.
The bill now goes to the Senate. Or
ganized labor is expected to exert
pressure on the upper chamber to re-
store the essential features Of the
housing measure.
Rep. Wright Patman ID. Tex.),
author of the bill, said he hoped the
Senate would reinsert provisions for
building materials subsidies and for
ceiling prices on existing housing.

 Tn the view of these observers the small military forces constitute the only symbol of law and order in this misery wracked land Neutral Spokesmen believe there is some truth in the contention that the military are capable of exercising a restraint which would not be pos sible otherwise, This applies par- ticularly to Calcutta and Bombay where police forces are inadequate to handle major outbreaks.
 One factor on which neutrals count heavily to prevent further wholesale outbreaks is the fact that the rank and file Indians in the danger areas are weary of the jeop- ardy to life and limb. The average Indian and his family have gone through horrible times. Many could not move outside their houses with out the danger of attack and many were even unsafe within their homes.
 One notable result of the riots has been movement of Moslems out of Hindu neighborhoods and vice versa. Now each is segregated in Hindu or Moslem precincts and this aids in preventing minor incidents. Between the Hindu and Moslem

 Calcutta, Dec. 20 -- Cup) -- Mo. hammed All Jinnah, tndia's MoSlem leader, arrived today from London and Cairo, marking the opening of a new and critical phase Of the intra-fndia conflict which has kept this sprawlins subcontinent In a state of filters and recurrent blood shed for more than four months,
 Jinnah is faced with a decision on his arrival from conferences with the British in London and with Moslem leaders in Cairo. He must decide whether to continue his boy colt of the Constituent Assembly charged with drafting e constitution for India or join the discussions with e tacit commitment of collab- orating with the Hindus on an in- dependent India,
 What Jinnah's decision will be could not be forecast in advance. However, Moslem quarters regarded his visit to London and Cairo as profitable. They believed he had sympathetic audience for the Mos. lem point of view in both cities.
 Bitter Relations at Peak
 There were few if any signs that the bitter Hindu-Moslem quarrel might be resolved. Most observers believed relations between the two groups had seldom, if ever, been worse.
 The basic issue lay between a central government representing all political and religious interests and the opposite extreme of complete split between Hindustan and Paki- stan, the all-Moslem state.
 Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Hindu leader, made plain that his All- India Congress intends to proceed without hesitation toward the framing of constitution which will bind all groups into a United India and achieve complete independence from the British Raj
 With Jinnah back the Moslem League can expect it's principal spokesman to proclaim with equal vigor the Moslem stand for Paxi- stan or nothing
