 3. Any sound foreign policy re- quires a healthy and prosperous domestic economy.
 4. The United States must con- tinue to give full support to the United Nations. The conference endorses the American plan for international control of atomic en- ergy.
 5. Because the interests of the United States are the interests of free men everywhere, America must furnish political and econ- omic support to democratic and freedom-living peoples the world over.
 6. Within the general framework of present American foreign policy steps must be taken to raise stand ards of living and support civil and political freedom everywhere.
 These policies are in the great democratic tradition of Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. We re- feet any association with Com munism or sympathizers with Com munism in the United States as completely as we reject any as- sOciatiOn with Fascists or their sympathizers. Both are hostile to the principles of freedom and de- mocracy on which this republic has grown great.

Participants in the meeting agreed on the urgent need for re- construction of the U. s. liberal movement free of totalitarian in- f1uence.
 The conferees agreed that no formal manifesto resolving all the problems of the nation and the world could be drafted at a one day meeting. But they found complete harmony on the basic principles underlying the organl- zation. This consensus included:
 l. The New Deal program must be expanded to insure decent lev els of health, nutrition, shelter and education.

Soldiers, Sailors
And Marines club
Postwar PROGRAM

The peace time program of the
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Club
is well under way.
+. In war time, with many agencies
In Washington for entertainment of
the enlisted men, the clubs recrea-
lion program was discontinued and
the attention of the members Of
the Woman's Army and Navy
League, who own and operate the
Club, was directed solely to giving
-the best possible care and the
cheapest and best lodging and food
TO the thousands of enlisted men
who came there.
. During the war, too, veterans were
mot welcome, and the stay was
iimited to month.
= Now, however, the need Is seen
TO provide place which veterans
can really call home. The very
special group which the club is
Set up to help is the veterans study
ing at local schools and colleges
under the CT Bill of Rights. Two
Sleeping rooms have been provided
for them and study hall especially
equipped with desks, typewriters and
f1uorescent lights. The length OF
their stay is unlimited, and they
are made to feel that the club is
a real home as well as fine place
for weekend leave or brief rest
for war-worn troops.
: Now, too, dance time has come
again to the S. S. and M. Club. First
on the program are those formerly
held by a group of 25 or more girls
at the United Nations Service Club.
When that club discontinued its
entertainment the logical place to
10 was the S. S. and M. Club, and
the young ladies, accompanied by
Mrs. B. v. Angle, head chaperone,
and her assistants have their parties
every other Friday. Music is fur
nished by the club radio, with spe-
cial records and amplif1er, and the
elub canteen stands treat to soft
drinks and cake or cider and dough-
nuts.
Other entertainment and recrea-
ton features are promised when
warmer weather comes along and
the club goes on serenely, as it has
done since 1899, adapting its services
to needs Of the times.
So also, as in wartime, the need
is great for volunteers in canteen
and Office. Service wives coming
to Washington will find here worth
while, patriotic work for their coun-
: try and the men who serve this
country.

Labor Day

Unlike some of the special Days set apart in honor
of one group or another Labor Day demands no gifts
Nobody is bothered about what to give the plumber or

recognition their worth their contribution to the
Job and through it, the welfare of the country They
above all else to be liked to be allowed to feel

The feeling of being liked and wanted is tonic to

suited about plans about ways and and the how

Perhaps is may be unfair, but it seems
justified to suspect the organizations and
their stooges in congress of attempting to slip
over this robbery of the public without pub
licity. If they did not intend to do this, why
the silence on subject of such tremendous
Importance to the public until protests began
to pile in on them?
Presently, hearings by subcommittee of
the public lands committee are in progress
throughout the "public lands" states. Head
ing this committee is Representative Barrett
a past officer Of the National Woolgrowers
Association, undoubtedly heartily in favor of
the land grab by the livestock organization
members.
Our own wonderful d Ewart is member
of the subcommittee and judging by his past
record and his being stockman of some con-
sequence, he can be expected to side in with
the plans for the grab and having the hear
ings show some favorable opinion for the
project However, at the first hearing held
in Glasgow this week, he could not have re-
ceived much encouragement, as protests
against the grab came not only from sports
mems organizations, the Farmers Union and
such organizations but from a goodly num-
Der of stockmen.
Judging by the makeup of the committee,
Congressman Lemke of. North Dakota is
probably the only one not in favor of the
stockmen's proposed swoop. Congressman
Barrett from Wyoming is a big sheepman in
his state. And D'Ewart- he is D'Ewart
