WASHINGTON-(FP)-A
considering joint action to deft
from the AFL July II in a lie
ALL Pres. William Green
and calling for a joint meetin
unity within the ranks of labor
and to establish labor solidarity
and organizational unity
GREEN wrote in response to
communication from Murray dated
July which also went to the
Railroad Labor Executive Assn.
and the Bro. of Railroad Train
men and Bro. of Locomotive Engi-
neers, both unaffiliated.
MurraY's communication de-
clared 1T is imperative that
cur organizations relegate to
the background whatever minor
differences we may entertain.
We must have common and
unified program of policy and
action on our part te protect
the living standards of the
American people and to assure
effective political expression on
the part of our membership.
the drive of reaction and succeed
in the election of progressive rep
resentatives who will act and
speak in the interest of the Ameri-
can people,"
Acting with the sanction of the
AFL executive council, Green
wrote in reply that the council
had considered Murray'S letter and
its call for a meeting as outlined,
but decided this would be i'm
possible without first ending di-
vision within the ranks of labor
through the establishment of or
ganizational unity. This is a pri-
mary requirement to the success
of any plan or program such as
you outlined in the third para
graph of your letter.
HOW CAN WE convince the
public that we can work together
while we are divided? How can
we formulate and execute a pro-
gram while we are disunited?
How can we convince the public
of our sincerity while we remain
divided, raiding each other and
seeking to destroy each other?"
Green asked.
The AFL leader said sit is di-
vision within the ranks of labor
which is hurting labor" and that
if that was not appreciated before
the Taft-Hartley bill became law
'it ought to be understood now.
II we remain divided we will suf-
fer more. If we become solidly
united, we can defeat our common
enemies"
With that. Green declared the
AFL council had both willing
ness and sincere desire to meet
with Clio representatives for
the purpose of bringing about
an agreement providing for or
ganizational unity but until such
a meeting is held and organixa-
tional unity established. no
good purpose would be served
by merely meeting in order to
achieve the purpose you OUT
lined"

i'm b. c.; in October, 1916, 1924
Japanese were employed across Ca
NADIA, of whom 6,578 were male and
3,046 were female.
The report attributes the in
crease to the fact that while the
majority of young women remain
ed in home until marriage before
the war, since 1913 many left home
to take jobs in the east or stayed
home and took outside employ
ment
A total of 1864 persons were
"repatriated to Japan in five sail

a cost to the Canadian government
of $1,005,0 900, notes the report.

SEATTLE RATES
18TH IN US A.
AS GOOD CITY

A comparison of the thirteen ci-
ties included in the How Good Is
Your City," report of the Seattle
Municipal League, measuring the
amount and quality of services for
citizens, shows that Seattle ranks
twelfth in terms of its per capita
contribution TO Red Feather well
fare and health services, accord
ing to a statement released jointly
Sunday by Donald H. Yates, pre-
sident of the Municipal League,
and Nat S. Rogers, president of the
Community Chest of Seattle and
King County.
The twelve other cities of COM
parable size to Seattle which were
included in the Municipal study
contributed an average of 1924 per
person to support the REQ Feather
services of their communities. Yates
and Rogers pointed out Seattle
citizens contributed an average CT
1921 per person, or % per cent be-
low the average Of the other cities.
The Municipal League study
measured Seattle's relative stand
ing in the nation in terms of GER
tain yardsticks of service being per-
| formed for its citizens" Yates and
/ Rogers declared. The yardsticks
applied were such things as fire
protection, public schools. public
health, transit, water supply, city
lights and public parks. Voluntary
welfare and health services made
possible by contributions to the
Community Chest are still another
reliable index of city's soundness.
Many of us have fallen into the
habit of thinking in terms of Civ
ing to the Community Chest with
the idea that we are supporting
charity" Yates and Rogers contin-
ued. Actually, when we contri-
butte to the Chest to support ITS
Red Feather health and welfare
agencies we are buying community
protective sevices, just as we buy
police and fire protection when we
pay taxes.
Through the wide range of ser
vices performed by the Red Fea-
Their agencies, we get protection
from which everybody benefits.
We have a tangible capital invest
ment in the facilities and buildings
of these agencies, but the intan-
gible dividends we receive from our
community investment in higher
health standards, reduced crime
and delinquency, minimized racial
tensions. strengthened family units
and happier children are incalcul
able.
Seattle and King County last
year exceeded its Chest goal
Yates and Rogers added, land all
of us can take justifiable pride II
that excellent performance. But
we still lag behind most of our
sister cities of like population in
terms of what each one of us gives
TO support the services from which
everybody benefits

CONTROL OF ATOMIC ENERGY

CONTROL OF ATOMIC ENERGY
THERE Is
.,.still controversial question 60
ing on whether the United Sta Jes
should have used atomic bomb in
modern warfare. From this van
tage point seems to us the atomic
bombing of Hiroshima and Maya
saki was not necessary for the sue
cessful conclusion of the war. How
ever, it must be borne in mind that
the decision to use the ST., which
was the code name for the atomic
bomb, was made while the country
was still engaged in the war.
1t was on June /, 1915 that the
Interim Committee with the former
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
as its chairman, unanimously
adopted the following recommend
ations, together with the Scienti-
fic Panel consisting of four OF the
top nuclear physicists in the coun-
try. The recommendation were:
/. The bomb should be used a
gainSt Japan as soon as possible
2. 1t should be used on a dual
target-that is. a military install
alton or wal plant surrounded by
or adjacent to houses and Other
buildings most susceptible to da-
mage.
3. It should be used without prior
warning (of the nature OF tht
weapon.
At the time of the fateful de-
cision, the military strategy of oul
armed forces called for: invasion
of southern island of Kyushu or
November l, 1915, to be followed b,
an invasion of the main island o.
Honshu in the spring of 1916. I
was also estimated that the majo
fighting on Honshu would not emf
until the latter part of 1915, at tn
earliest. Such operations might p
expected to cost over a million
casualties to the American force
alone.

NEW YORK, June 6-Blaming
Russian obstruction for delay in
world recovery, Herbert Hoover, for
mer President of the United States

vised consideration of separate
peace with Germany also unless
Russia changed her course.
MIR. Hoover's advocacy of sep

such other United Nations as

Calling the industrial paralysis
of Germany and JapanJ"two great

disaster, the former President said
in a letter to Rep. John Taber, R.,
NY chairman of the appropri-
atoms committee:

AS MIR. STIMSON

has revealed in his article in
Harper's magazine early this year,
the primary reason for the decision
to use the atomic bomb in modern
warfare was to extract a genuine
surrender from the Emperor and
his military advisers by displaying
convincing proof of our power 10
destroy the empire.
On the morning of August 6, 1945
at O815, the first weapon of its
type ever to be used against tar
get exploded over Hiroshima. This
was followed by the second attack
on Nagasaki three days later. A
day after the Nagasaki bombing,
or on August 10, the Emperor's oil
fer of surrender was received by the
Allied powers.
According to the studies of the
Strategic Bombing Survey, atom
icbomb was not the primary reason
in the final Japanese decision to
accept our term of surrender.
The decision to seek ways and
means to terminate the war, IN
fluenced in part by knowledge of
the low state of popular morale,
had been taken as early as May
1945 by the Supreme War Guidance
Council.
Thus, Japan was already a de-
feated nation when the atomic
bombs exploded over her mainland.

has ably stated the effect of the
atomic bomb when he said: sit was
not one atomic bomb or two, which
brought surrender; it was the ex-
perience of what an atomic bomb
will actually do to community,
plus the dread of many more, that
was effective"
Those of US who have seen the
results of what one atomic bomb
can do to city with a population
of $4,000 as in the case of Hiro-
shima, can well appreciate the ef-
forts of the worlds leading scien-
lists and statesmen toward the con-
troll of this atomic energy. There
is no way out. now that atomic
energy is here to stay, than to find
an effective international control
of power SO that peoples of the
world may live.
