with totalitarianism now going on
all over the world.
Why. were these proposals for
orderly transition from war to
peace production brushed aside ?
Why was continuance of price and
rationing controls and materials
priorities and ALLEGATIONS defeated
Why were proposals for both en-
ergency and long range housing
programs, for maintaining take

turned down again and again?
Why were the NAM, the Chanb-
er of Commerce and reactionary
collaborators in both and Republi-
can and Democratic Parties able to
stampede the nation "back to nor
malcy?" Why are we now in i'm
minent danger of repeating, step
by step, every mistake in the boom
and-bust of the twenties and thir-
ties, but this time telescoped into
few feverish years?
If we face the answers and act
upon them, even at this late date,
we may avert a new depression
and another war.
Basically, we are in the grip of
reaction because, all through the
war, the NAM and the Chamber of
Commerce and their allies planned
it that way. They did their own

finest machinery Of government yet
invented by the mind Of man and
the most delicate and difficult to
operate. 1t requires participation
informed participation-by the in
dividual men and women who con-
sent to its use in the government
of their affairs. 1t is not well serv-
ed when, as in 1916, 100000
fewer citizens vote than in the
elections Of 1914. In unions, it is
not well served when, in local
union Of 10000 members, decisions
are made by $50 members who
think enough Of it to attend union
meetings. In big government and
in big unions, only the individual
citizens and members can protect
the elected officials from what the
Federal Council Of Churches in its
Labor Sunday message calls "the
corruption of power"
The worlds hope Of stable pros
perity and peace largely depends
on this: Can and will American
labor enlist the support Of maj
ority of the American people for
program of full employment, full
production, fair distribution and
full consumption, shared as the
needs require with other peoples
who still hope they will not have
to exchange liberty for the pro-
mise of security?
1t is not enough to repeal the
Taft Hartley Act: labor can and
should rally its own forces and the
American people to arm liberty
throughout the world with the
munitions of food, machinery and
know-how. With these weapons we
can win; when do we begin to use
them in earnest, on an all-out
basis?
The decision is in your own mind
and heart this Labor Day and
every day.

private postwar planning early and
often and at public expense. While
they did so, thru dollar-a-year men
and others inserted at strategic
places in government, the attention
Of the public and of the rank and
file Of labor was concentrated on
winning the war. Neither the gen
eral public nor members of organ
ized labor fully recognized the
fact that, when the guns stopped
firing, there would still be a peace
to win.
On VJ-Day British Prime Min
ister Attlee went on the radio inn
mediately to ask that the British
people hold together for the great
task of peace. But, in Washington,
after announcers had stated that
President Truman was expected to
speak they came back to say that
there would be no statement and
that the President and Mrs. Tru-
man were out on the White House
lawn, smiling and waving to the
happy crowds outside the fence.
That pattern, that difference, have
persisted until few months ago.
Only now, in the Truman Doctrine
and the Marshall Plan, are our
political leaders beginning to ask
the American people and American
labor to face up to what Prime
Minister Attlee described on Aug.
Ia, 1945.

e.. l. GUARANTEED
Loans Total S., ,135, 500, 900

Washington, D. C.-The Veter-
ans Administration said that ex-
servicemen have borrowed more
than $5,135, 100000 under the loan
guaranty provisions of the G. |.
bill of rights.
The V. A. has guaranteed the re-
payment of $2,393, 100000, or
slightly less than half of the face
value of the loans approved to
date.
The majority of veterans who
have taken out loans have used the
money to buy homes. Some 831 eco
loans, or about 81 percent, have
gone for that purpose.
Only one veteran out of IA has
exercised his loan rights so far, the
V. A. said. But it reminded veter
ans that they need be in no hurry,
since the loan benefits will remain
available through July "a, 1857.

Typo leaders declared they are
prepared for any eventuality.
Among other highlights, the
convention:
Called for organic upity of or
ganized labor and also for unified
action Of all labor on the political
front. Immediate steps to unite
the AFL, CIO and Railroad Bro
therhoods into one mighty organ
ization" were urged.
Favored joint action by all labor
to secure repeal Of the Taft-Hart-
ley law and to unseat members of
Congress who voted for the mea-
sure.
Invited the Amalgamated Lith-
ographers union, with its 1890
members, to join the ITU. The
Amalgamated, formerly AFL, went
CIO following jurisdictional dis
putes with other printing trades
unions.
Voted down an anti administra-
tion proposal that candidates for
ITU office be required to swear
that they were not Communists, on
the grounds that such change in
the TITUS bylaws would empower
the union officers to pass on quail
fcation of the candidates to unseat
them and would lead to Dictator
ship in the union.

give satisfaction. Let's give them
more business than they can
handle"
And there's another story of the
new worker in a Michigan war
plant who was asked what he got
for his union dues. "Gee, | Dunno"
he said. Asked to figure it out, he
finally came up with this alarming
answer: "Well, l guess the union
keeps the toilets Clean"
In this case, the union worked
hard and effectively to spread
among all the members an under
standing of the unions functions
and purposes. 1t had an active
educational department to get to
all members, new and old, facts
and reasons that would make them
more than dues-payers who accept
the check-off only because it seems
to be part of the job.
Throughout the war and post
war period, elected leaders of the
AFL and CIO have supported and
in many instances taken the lead
in proposing policies and programs
that, had they been adopted, would
have saved the nation from the
short supplies and initiation that
are now upon US. They would have
made us strong enough, in terms
of production, to throw decisive
amounts Of food, farm and indus

Factory Hiring Rate Up,
LayOfs Decline In June

Washington, d. C.-Layoff's de-
creased and seasonal expansion
and more adequate supplies of ma
terials provided increased job op-
portunities in manufacturing plants
during June, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported.
While the hiring rate, which rose
from 48 to SO for every 1000 en-
ployes on the payroll during the
month, was the lowest for any June
since 1910, layoffs declined. Lay
offs fell to II per 1000. In May Ia
persons in every 1,000 were laid
off.

D. {. Asks Authority
10 Require Tests in
Drunk Driving Cases

The District Commissioners again
have asked Congress for legislation
to authorize medical tests of per-
sons arrested for driving while
drunk.
Proposing a new bill, similar to
one which previously failed of en-
actment, the city heads recon-
mended that such tests be made
mandatory.
Present Handicap Cited.
The bill was proposed as an
amendment to the District Traffic
Act Of 1925. It's purpose, the Com
missioners explained in letter to
the Speaker of the House, would
be Ito make available scientifically
reliable evidence for use in deter
mining judic:ally whether a person
charged with driving while. under
the influence of Intoxicating liquor,
or with negligent homicide or
with manslaughter committed in
the operation of any vehicle, was
under the influence Of intoxicating
liquor"
"A prime obstacle to the just ad-
ministration of our laws on this
subject" they said, from the
standpoint of both the accused and
the prosecution, is generally recog-
nized unreliability of lay testimony
upon the issue of whether or not
defendant was actually under the
influence of Intoxicating liquor"
Mandatory Provision Defended.
Medical examiners would be ap-
pointed by the District Commits
sioners to make laboratory examina-
tions. If prisoner insisted, he
could select his personal physician
for making such a test also.
Defending their contention that
such tests be made mandatory. the
Commissioners pointed to a court
decision of murder here. The
United States Court Of Appeals here
was quoted by the Commissioners
as declaring in that case:
"Out of court as we'll as in court,
his body may be examined with or
without his consent"
