This Changing World
Marshall's Prestige Blocked Criticism
Of State Department Hush.Hush Policy

Department had forbidden them to
speak frankly.
This impression was further con-
firmed when 1t. Gen. Albert G.
Wedemeyer, one Of the Govern
ment's best-informed oficials on
China, asked to be excused from
questioning about his report OF his
recent fact-finding mission to the
Far East. That report has bsen
classified top secret by Secretary OF
State Marshall.
Gen. Wedemeyer was sent on his
special mission to China last year
with the purpose Of investigating
conditions in areas controlled by the
National government. He returned
with voluminous report containing
his findings. From the very char
acter of his mission it should be OBJ
vious that it could contain nothing
that should be kept from the Amer
ican public.
Pledge of Aid Given.
No one can question the applica-
tion of secrecy rules to high diplo-
matte negotiations or to plans for
national defense. Premature dis
closures are necessarily harmful and
not in the public interest. But there
is little reason to withhold from the
public o report Of conditions in 4
country which we pledged ourselves
to assist during and after the war.
A highly critical statement about
Chinese conditions was released to
the press by Gen. Wedemeyer at
Marking last September, before he
returned to the United States. This
statement now does not appear to
have contained all Gen. Wede-
meyers findings.
At the Wednesday hearing Gen.
Wedemeyer stated under oath, in
answer to questions from Senator
Bridges, that his firm conviction
was that we should extend economic
and military help to the country
which, under Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, consistently refused to
accept highly favorable Japanese
peace terms In 1914. If Gen.
Chang had been less loyal to our
cause over 100000 trained Japa-
nese troops would have been re-
leased for use against our still-m-
adequate forces in the Pacific.
Gen. Wedemeyer also confirmed
the feeling which prevails in many
Washington quarters when he re-
piled, again to a question by Sena-
tor Bridges, that he did not think
we have kept our promises to China.
This was in direct contradiction to
Mr.. Butterworth's previous state
ment.
So long as our foreign policy and
official reports are kept concealed
there Is little likelihood that this
country ever will know just whore
1t is heading.

Building Trades Voice Opposition To A Sales Tax
New Haven Council Tells Governor Tax Would
 Be A Pay Cut

The New Haven Building Trades Council on Monday sent the follow ing telegram to Governor James L. McConaughy:
 "New Haven Building Trades Council, AFL, has unanimously gone on record opposing the sales tax. We are unable to understand why you recommend this measure, which hits those with the lowest incomes, be- fore we have a state income tax, which means that everyone would pay in proportion to his income.
 ''Working people are now having great trouble because of high prices and reduced income. You now pro- pose to further reduce their in. come by sales tax. Those in the high income brackets will hardly be affected by a sales tax.
 Do you consider this the American way, the democratic way? We urge you to give this matter further con- sideration."

CLIFFORD KEALEY: You have been hearing a lot about industry no longer being equal with labor at the bargaining table. That is part of the propaganda in this build-up behind the anti-labor drive. Suppose we look into that.
 Let's recall the railroad strike of last May. President Truman, you may recall, said nothing to the Carriers-all his hard talk was to the Brotherhoods. Still, it takes two sides to make strike, you know. If the proposals are met even half- way, there is no strike. So, if rail- road employees went on strike for the first time in g years, it meant that the railroads said, ''Nothing doing." But President Truman plac- ed the whole weight of his attack upon the Brotherhoods. The same thing happened in the recent coal strike. These events show that in- dustry, NOT labor, has the govern ment behind it. They prove that without one additional piece of legislation, labor is not on equal footing with industry.

Our Whole Economy Threatened
 Unless All Groups Are Free To Act

The enemies of labor aim to block all such progressive legisla- ton by weakening and destroying the abor movement. The intensity of their fight to destroy us is a tribute to labor, for it is the measure of our efforts in behalf of all progressive action.
 For example, here in New Haven, organized labor continues to meet its civic obligations even at time when our enemies threaten our very exist ence Mainly through the efforts of union members, the Greater New Ha- ven Citizens Housing Association was set up to keep rent controls at June, 1046 levels; to get on with federal and state projects for building low rent homes and to tear down slums.
 FIGHT SALES TAX
 Labor spokesmen were in Hartford on February 18th at the hearings on the educational bills to speak for ex- banded educational facilities and to in sist on decent standard of living for our teachers. And we'll be in Hartford again on March 4th to fight the sales tax and on March 11th to support an F.E.P.C. law with teeth in 1t.
 We oppose with all our strength the inAiction of a sales tax on the people of Connecticut. It is about time we had an income tax start ing on incomes over $5,OOO. This democratic tax would provide the funds needed to assist the veteran, and needed to provide low-rent housing and to pay reasonable un- employment and wOrkmen compen- satiOn benefits. Labor also urges that the present monthly maximum of $40 on old age insurance be raised to $6O.
 The president of the American Fed eration of Labor, William Green, in testimony before the Senate Labor Committee, said that passage of these proposed anti-labor bills would set la tor back 100 years. Senator Aiken, Vermont Republican, was moved by this testimony to call legislation which would prohibit union security, a pretty stiff restriction. Senator Aiken added that it would put labor pretty much at the mercy of employers. That is half the story behind this scandalous anti labor drive. Were he to complete the story, he would tell you that it would also place, not only organized labor, but the nation as we'll entirely at the mercy of monopolies.
 Industry is hell-bent after the open shop which we know means the destruction of organized labor.
 Our final speaker is Clifford w.. Kealey, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers on the New Haven Road. MT. Kea- ley

WTUL Convention To Open May 19


 WASHINGTON (FP) = Pres. Rose Schneiderman and Sec.- Treas. Elizabeth Christman have issued the call for the 18th convention of the Natl. Women's Trade Union League here May 1922.
 Members, affiliated leagues, nation al committees and affiliated national trade unions are asked to attend the convention because never before has there been greater need for team work in building a dynamic labor program"
 The call said American women must decide how to increase union mem bership, participate in their own union activities effectively, build sound la Dor and social legislation on every level and inform the public about la bor issues.

And what do you read in the pa pers? Can you imagine a large-scale attack on the monopolies from the press or the radio such as labor gets day and night? Now that's a very foolish question isn't it? So, here we have industry backed up by the gov ernment and the press, and that's the kind of strength labor just hasn't any

INDUSTRY DOING WELL

Last year after taxes, industry made 12 billion dollars in profits, two and a half billion more than in 1945 and four times the 1936-1o3o average. Tc my way of thinking these figures mean industry is at least four times as strong financially as in 1889 and nobody suggests that labor has done nearly as we'll We favor the profit system We believe in it. But we also think labor has its rights.
 And still the anti-labor forces aren't satisfied. With no general wage increase granted this year. prices are still going up.
 It's very one sided picture, in. deed.
 The passage of anti-labor laws are certain to lead to a terrible de. pression. Why? Because labor just won't have the strength to fight fOr legislation that can prevent l9 million working people from being unemployed. And if labor cant prevent that, who can?
 Yes, 19 million as these facts show Between 1886 and '3o when 9 million were out of work, salaries and wages came to 63.5%o of the national income During the war they averaged 67% and now they're down to 62%o. But business income is up 10% and divi- dends and interest up 249o. That means we just can't buy the things we produce. That means factories must close. It means, l am afraid, unem- ployment and depression.
 FARMER AND GROCER
 The farmer and grocer know that workers buy less milk each week, less butter, and less clothing, too. Yet Dr. Steelman, the Presidents labor ad- wiser, says and I quote,
 "The increased flow of consumer durable gods, especially at present high price levels, will require con- sumers to increase their total expen- ditures far above even their current high levels if the goods are to be sold.'
 Well, if we can't buy milk, eggs and clothing, how can we buy durable goods?
 However, this does not have to happen. We must not let it happen. And it will not happen, my friends, if we all roll up our sleeves and lei our senator, our governor, our con. gressmen and legislators know that we're not being fooled by all this anti-labOr talk. We've got to lei them know that their job is to get on with the fight to end this run away imitation to keep rent-con trOls; to pass F.E.P.C. legislation to give the veterans all they earned in security, education, jobs and low cost housing; to effect more equit able distribution of the tax burden
 In behalf of the United Labor Com mitree of Greater New Haven, I thanl you.

NAACP Approves New Bill For Its Legislative Program

New York (LPA)-The Natl As sociation for the Advancement of Col ored People, which now has more than 535,OO0 members, adopted leg islative program which included, be- sides civil rights and anti-discrimina- ton measures, such social legislation as a bill to assist 1ow-cost housing, restoration of lapsed quotas to allow European displaced persons to enter the U. S., inclusion of domestic work CTS and farm laborers under social se- curity, national health insurance bill, and extension of rent control for at least year.

How many times, Mrs. Housewife, have you thrown up your hands over this in- flation and told your husband, ''We must do something!"
 Last year, you remember, three big CIO unions, trying to prevent just that from happening, very patiently asked General Motors and U. s. Steel to sit down and discuss a general wage increase. These corporations had their huge war profits and were further in sured against losses by the carry-back provisions of the tax laws. Then, Uncle Sam, after a careful study, said that the corporations could afford an IS cents hourly wage increase without higher prices. Although this was not as much as the unions asked for their membership, they accepted the gov ernment figure, and had those firms been equally considerate of the public welfare, there would have been no strikes.
 CAN'T CRIPPLE LABOR
 Some members of management think they can cripple the labor movement by forcing us out. They hope that through advertisements and radio broadcasts, they can turn the veterans and public opinion against us. But the veterans are with us and public opinion supports us as it always does, when people have the facts and not just the propaganda of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers.
 Now, Vincent J. McGovern, in be- half of more than 10000 members of the American Federation of Labor who are your neighbors and your GUS toners, will address you. The presi- dent of the New Haven Central Labor Council. MT. McGovern-
 VINCENT J. McCOVERN: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here tonight tO prove to you that unless all Americans join hands to defeat the passage of any anti-labor legisla- ton now before the Congress and the General Assembly, our hopes for low-rent housing, for state and national F.E.P.C. acts, and for the prevention of the expected depres- sion, all these will go down the drain.

 Slap On The Wrist When a monopoly is brought to book, he declared, it hires battery of lawyers. Then Uncle Sam goes through the form of prosecuting civil suits. That eliminates in fines that amount to a mere slap on the wrist
 After that the monopolists Ego on exactly as though nothing had hap pened-they go on because we are in the grip of forces we are unable to control.'
 And for this the public is paying a bitter price, the Senator added. "in unwarranted price increases which fall most heavily on small businessmen and wage earners who are least able to bear them" He added:
 Long Train Of Evils
 Characterization of wealth leads inevitably to the elimination of small business, the fixing of prices, the restriction of produc- ton and the creation of unem- ployment.
 Tt blocks the possibility of improv- ing the standard of living and with holds the benefits of increased pro- duction from workers and consumers, thus aggravating inequalities in the distribution of income"

England dairy farm, for example, should have at least
Is COWS per man. poultry farm, 1,5OO layers;
garden farm acres; potato farm, 40 acres
and an apple farm, 20 acres
Doing more business with the capital invest
ment is way to lower costs and higher profits
With the larger business the operator spend more
of his time at productive work For example, workers
dairy farm with to 10 cows per man will be just
as busy as on farm with Is to 18 cows per man. The
gross sales and net income the larger operation will
be much higher because more of the time is used in
producing milk Reducing costs per unit puts the
farm operator in a stronger competitive position
If more crop land cannot be bought perhaps it can
be rented. Another plan is to check means by which
crop production present acreage be increased.
Ways to do this nclude the of lime and fertilizer;
winter crops; higher yielding varieties; double
cropping; drainage and terracing
Another step toward efficiency is to install modern
equipment which enables person to produce more
per hour Overhead costs per unit of product can be
lowered when each machine is used proftablv for as
many hours as possible.

Out necessary means Tor COMPARES QUALITIES OF
the meat animals in a market; or fOr comparing
the animals in one market with those offered for
sale in another market. However, grading is not
an exact science because it depends to quite an
extent on the judgment of the person doing the
buying selling. Grades are standards which
take into consideration the sex weight, quality,
conformation and finish of animals
Now, let's have look at price. Price is not a
factor in determining grade. Just because some
animals are in higher grade does not mean that
they atlUdys will sell for higher price than ami
mails in a lower grade. For example, it happens
at times that medium grade of cattle sells for as
much or more than good grade. Such a cond-
tion may come about when there is a heavy de-
mand for, but only a light supply Of, medium
cattle; while on the same day big supply and a
light demand of good grade cattle will not bring
so high price.
The same situation may exist in the case of
lambs. In communities where racial customs
affect eating habits, there are times when car
casses of lightweight, thin lean lambs sell for as
much as the fat, we'll finished, choice type Again
the law of supply and demand is in action
Always remember that price and grade are
two different things. Try to think of each sep
arately, and we believe you will have much
clearer and truer picture of grading and market
ing of livestock.

In Charge of Beef Lamb Veal
