CIO Reports

The following letter was sent
to us by the Cleveland Indus
trial Union Council:
The Cleveland I n dustrial
Union Council several weeks
attempted to buy some advertis-
ing space in the Cleveland daily
newspapers to inform the peo-
pie of Cleveland about the dan
gerous economic situation fac
ing the country. Copy for the
ad was prepared using Heller
Committee budget figures and
BIS figures on average weekly
wages, as a comparison with
1916 corporation profit figures.
The ad was rejected by the
Cleveland Press on the ground
Of "lack of newsprint and
space" After negotiations with
. he Cleveland Plain Dealer for
space, the editorial department
imposed censorship over paid
advertising, rejecting the ad be-
cause they could not accept a
comparison between minimum
budget figures for a family Of
four, published by the Heller
Committee of the University of
California, and average weekly
wage in all manufacturing for
the same period published by
BIS.
Feeling that it was urgent for
the people of Cleveland to know
the facts, despite the censorship
of Cleveland newspapers, the
Cleveland CIO has had printed
$4,000 leaflets using the ad copy
and relating the story of how
the free press of Cleveland op-
crates.
Every source of distribution is
being used by Cleveland CIO to
get these leaflets into the hands
of Cleveland citizens. Several
thousand are being sent through
the mails, ministers, educators,
social workers. Arrangements are
being completed for plant gate
distribution. They will also be
distributed to thousands of
shoppers on Cleveland's busiest
thoroughfare.
The Cleveland I n d u tr a |
Union Council is determined to
present to the people of Cleve-
land the facts behind the threat
to their health and welfare.

Mr.. Fluegge further notes that
Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor has filed an
indictment at Nuremberg against
twelve German generals charged with
wanton murder, plumber and terroriz-
ing the populace. At the same time, he
says, a British War Crime Court in

committed against the Italian civilian

One way of interpreting the Russian
attitude toward German military lead

EARLY IN

In 1909, Henry Hudson, English
explorer employed at that time
by a Dutch trading company,
crossed the Atlantic from Holland
and sailed up the river that now
bears his name, following it to the
point where the city of Albany
now stands. He claimed the region
for the Dutch.
He also found that the Indians
had many furs which they were
willing to exchange for a few
beads Or a Ratchet. These furs,
which he took back with him,
seemed as good as gold to the
Dutch, and soon they sent out
traders to deal with the Indians.
Some people say that there were
a few houses on Manhattan Island
as early as 1914. The same year,
or early in 1915. Fort Nassau was
founded near the site of Albany,
and settlements in New Jersey
also were made. These early
Dutch settlements were largely
trading posts. The Dutch claimed
all of the country between the Del
aware, or South River, and the
Hudson, or North River. They
called this land New Netherland.
In 1926, Peter Minuit, who had
been appointed Governor of New
Netherland by the Dutch West In
dia Company, bought Manhattan
Island from the Indians for about
"a dollars worth of beads and
trinkets. The little town that had
begun to grow at the foot Of the

Despite innumerable handicaps, In

great contribution to Wilmington's in
dustrial expansion. This is the ~organiza-
ton of business leaders which SUBJ

war industries began to lay off work.
ers, to exploit the city's industrial pos
= sibllities and help secure factory sites
for firms interested in locating in this
area.
- Notwithstanding building materials
priorities and other serious complica-
lions resulting from bureaucratic domi-
nation, Industrial Properties, during it's
short life, has brought four major in
dustries to Wilmington-French Neck
wear Company, Port City Hosiery Mills,
Chadbourn Hosiery Mills and Carver
Manufacturing Company. When in full
operation these plants will employ at
least a thousand workers.
With additional manufacturers plan
ming to establish plants here as soon
as favorable sites are available, pre-
ferably on the riverfront, the advantage
of a lease to the State Ports Authority
of the northern end of the shipyard
tract is apparent to everybody, with
the single exception of the Maritime
Commission, which has placed the yard
or a standby basis.
This northern area could we'll be
turned over to the Authority without
lesseening the yards availability or eff
ficienscy in case of emergency. With
it in possession the Authority could
proceed with its program for terminals
and warehouses and at the same time
provide sites for heavy industries.
With the improvements on the Ports
Authority's agenda under way so that
additional commerce may move through
the port, Wilmington will have a covet-
ed opportunity to take its place not only
among leading South Atlantic ports but
among the states leading manufacture
ing centers as well.
In it's further activities Industrial
Properties can be of material help in
getting a favorable decision on the
lease from the Maritime Commission.

Too Complacent

Some months ago the House I'm
American Activities Committee, having
investigated communism for years, de-
cided to look around for any Fascist
danger in this country. 1t appointed a
subcommittee made up of Reps. John
Mcdowell Of Pennsylvania, Richard
Vail of Illinois, and John Wood of
Georgia.
During those months, according to
MIR. Vail, the subcommittee investiga-
ton of fascism consisted of one meet
ing. The meeting lasted 10 minutes. AS
Ia result of this exhaustive study the
group has now assured the country
that there is nc Fascist danger in any
American "hate" organization or "hate"
attitude. Some of the reasons are in
teresting,
Said Mr.. Mcdowell, There are
groups here that hate Catholics and
hate Jews and hate one thing and on
other. But as far as l can find, there
is no evidence that they're dangerous.
The only danger is if they join togeth-
er, and you need money for that"
Mr.. Vail said, of Columbians, that
all these movements are relatively
insignificant. They are of no conse-
quence at all and are fluttering move
ments that develop in a country of this
size."

The PATRONS became very power
full and lived in great state.
Meanwhile, Peter Minuit had
left the service of the Dutch and
gone to Sweden. In 1888, he led a
few Swedish colonists who settled
on the Delaware River and called
the colony New Sweden But the
Dutch would not agree that the
Swedes had any right to this land,
and several Years later, Peter
Stuyvesant, one-legged governor
of New Netherland, was able to
make them yield to his power.
This was the beginning of the col
ony of Delaware.
Governor Stuyvesant was very
hot-tempered and overbearing,
and he did not believe in giving
the people any voice in the gov
eminent. Many in New Amster-
dam did not like his ways. Hence,
when the English (who had always
claimed all of North America be-
cause of the early dis coveries Of
John Cabot sent a fleet to New
Amsterdam and ordered the town
to surrender, the people would not
fight.
Thus, in 1864, New Netherland
became an English colony. Both
the colony and the town were re-
named New York in honor of the
