the greatest volume we received

countries which were most SER

more products in order to reestab-

sense we have been continuing
what we started during the war.
"The war was the negative part
of the process. We are now engag-
ed in the positive process of re-
building war-torn world. The
damage of years of war is not
repaired in a matter of 18 months

Eventually we hope to estab-

United States and the rest of the

MAKES SENSE

ONE OF THE MORE practical approaches to trade union
ism is being taken by the United Hat Cap and Millinery
Workers International Union The Haters long known for
their progressive policies, have up with brand

pends people wearing hats and the Haters

just exactly why people do do not hats and
Cevery conceived the questonnare takes only few
ments to complete but all the information involved is
properly compiled the union expects to be able to get to-
gether with hat and manufacturers and arrive at
logical conclusions to what to do to encourage and
more men to hats and caps.

want to make their members keep workngbut what
they doing is good business oogood business for the

Comment On World Events

World trade and its relation to
employment and to the continued
progress and prosperity of the
United States was recently the sub
ject of an excellent summary by
Thomas C. Blaisdell, Jr., assistant
to the Secretary of Commerce and
director of the Office of Interna-
tional Trade.
Mr.. Blaisdell spoke on the Labor
News Review with Albert N. Den
mis-, over WTOP of the Columbia
Broadcasting System, his talk be-
ing the first official public address
of "World Trade Week" He re-
marked it would appear that 1916
had been world trade year for the
United States and said:
"Never in peace time have we
exported the volume of goods which
left our shores during 1916, and
never before have we imported as
large a quantity of goods. This is
true whether we measure the vol
ume of goods in dollars or in
terms of physical quantity. In 1916
we exported over Is billion dol
lars worth of goods and services
and we imported goods worth over
Z billion dollars. The magnitude of
this trade is striking evidence not
only of the Importance Of these
goods to other countries but also
of the Importance of the goods
which we bought from them"
"We are interested in the goods
which we get through international
trade and we are also concerned
with the employment of American
workmen and in American busi-
ness" Mr.. Blaisdell continued.
"This volume of trade means that
one out of every Is workmen in
the United States is employed di-
rectly in our international trade.
While every man, woman, and
child, as a consumer, is interested
directly in the things which we got
from abroad, the pay envelope
which one workman in Is receives
is at the present time dependent
upon the continuation of interna-
tional trade in large volume.
"Why do we send more goods
from the United States than we
bring into it? The answer at the
present time is relatively simple
The greatest volume of goods that
we sent abroad went to Europe and

prickly Russian situation, SO
disturbing to the Western demo-
cracies, exceedingly sound. He
insists when Russia is doing
what Is right, as she did in Spain
and in Munich she deserves ap-
plause. When she does what we
consider wrong she deserves con-
demnation. Above all he de-
plores the categorical attitude
which so many assume when
confronted by this problem and
he concludes with this thought
full appreciation of a perilous
situation. ''It would be hard to
say which class of well-mean-
ing Americans is more danger
Gus to the future peace Of the
world, the Red-baiters or the
doughty champions Of the Soviet
Union" This is a sentiment to
which those who are conversant

study of the reactions Of six
human beings who survived the
explosion. First published as q
kind Of journalistic tour de force
by the New Yorker magazine,
which devoted an entire issue to
it, it now can be had in book form
an important addition to our
atomic literature, though 1t has
been praised rather extravagantly
and ought to be read with a
measure Of reserve. Finally, some
note should be made Of the fact
that Pat Frank, q former wash
ington newspaperman, wrote "Mr.
ADAM" a seriocomic novel about
nuclear fission and sex-not deep,
but definitely interesting.

Capitalism Versus
The Democracies

In his thought-provoking book
entitled "By Vote of the People"
Willis j. Ballinger, who served
for years as highly valued ad-
wiser to the Federal Trade Com
mission, describes the long and
as yet indecisive struggles that
have been waged for so many
centuries between capitalism and
the democracies.
He is explicit in his analysis OF
American capitalism, a vital
problem which should no longer
be treated by generalities more
or less glittering, and ne
thinks, always deceptive and
misleading. His is thesis that
will provoke discussion and may
become an issue at the polls
when the next spending pro-
gram is launched.

. sity of California supplies most

Journalistic
Experiences
At this point, while on the sub
ject Of biography and autobiog-
raphy, special note must be made
of all those living journalists who
have made books during the past
year out Of their own experiences
and the views they have shaped
on the basis of those experiences.
These books are In a class by
themselves. Most Of them have
rather poetic titles, and they are
all solemn--some with hope, some
with pessirnism-about the future
of the world. They really do not
answer anything, but II one has
the time to spare for them, one
could do q lot worse than read
the following: This House
Against This House." by vincent
Sheehan: "The Education of a
Correspondent" by Herbert L.
Matthews; "Reconquest: It's Re-
suits and Responsibilities" by
Hallett Abend; 'The Great Chal-
lenge," by Louis Fischer; mot So
Wild Dream" by Eric Sevareid;
while Time Remains" by Le-
land Stowe, and "Our Share Of
Night" by Drew Middleton.
Then there Is that ether group
of journalists whose books this
year have been confined to prob
lens somewhat smaller than the
overall problem of the world.
Free from photographed mu-
sings, these involve a large ele-
ment of controversy, so that the
reader, If he agrees, is likely to
agree militantly, whereas if he
disagrees. he may do so fiercely
enough to want to horsewhip the
author. A notable example is
Ralph Ingersolls lively "Top Sc
cret," Willingly or unwittingiy a
boon to Anglophobes. Another is
Thunder Out of China" by The
odore H. White and Annalee
Jacoby, an impressive critique of
Chang Kai-shek, the Kuomin-
tang and American policy. Other
controversial titles include
Wrath in Burma" by Fred Eld-
ridge and ITO Whom Palestine?,"
by Frank Gervasi.
