UNIT Gathers
Strong Support

Naturally Chan Gurney of South
Dakota, chairman of the senate
armed services committee, and
Chairman Walter C. Andrews of
New York of the house committee of
the same name, whose sub-commit-
tee under Representative Harry
Towe of New Jersey produced the
bill which is now pending before the
house, are enthusiastic supporters
of the measure. And it is expected
that friends of would-be presidential
candidate Dewey will fall in line
since universal military training is
one of the major issues which the
New York governor has endorsed.
If this assumption is correct Sena-
tor Ives and Republican House Ma
jority Leader Halleck could be in
cluded. Senator Saltonstan of Mas
sachusetts has expressed his ap-
prevail Candidate Stassen and his
friends, though not at this writing
committed, are emphatically friend

TURN FOR THE BETTER
Teacher Crisis Eases in U.S..

1.-The present school year marks
the beginning of turn for the bet
ter in education in the United
States"
That high note of optimism was
sounded in progress report issued
by the citizens federal committee
on education through the U. S. Office
of education which asserted that a
five-year downward trend in educa-
ton has been reversed.
Titled "Citizens Look at Educa-
tion," the report is the first PAM
phlet issued by the 27-member group
formed in April, 1946, to carry the
teacher crisis to the country.
There Is abundant evidence that
the ominous deterioration of our
educational system has been arrest

IMITATION
What's to Be Done?

Administration pressure to force
the adoption of President Truman's
proposed anti-inflation panacea in
volving wage and price controls
was increasing steadily.
Latest in a procession of cabinet
members testifying before congress
sional committees in favor of price
controls was Clinton P. Anderson,
secretary of agriculture.
He bluntly warned the house
banking and currency committee
that unless rising meat costs are
halted price controls on that COM
modify would be necessary by early
spring. Describing meat and grain
as foodstuffs in which early short
ages can be foreseen, Anderson
pointed out the likelihood that early
1948 would see fantastically high
prices Of meat.
There was profusion Of thinking
on the initiation problem which so
far had done little except to pro-
mote widespread disagreement and
uncertainty among the people.
The administration, congress as
a body and private citizens re-
mained at odds concerning what
should be done. Robert S. Nathan,
for m er government economist,
called for an immediate 20 to Is per
cent rollback in prices and pre-
dicted a "bust" next year if the
situation remains uncontrolled.
Secretary of the Treasury John
Snyder issued a direct challenge to
congress to come up with some
workable idea of it's own to combat
rising costs of living.
Earl Bunting, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
epitomized the attitude of private
business and industry in general by
calling for greater production per
man per day, reduced taxes and a
curb on exports.
What it amounted to was this:
You either were in favor of price
and wage controls or against them.
You pay your money and you take
your choice; but in any event, with
imitation a predominant condition OF
the economy, you pay your money.

LEAGUE:
For Politics

Ever since the Taft-Hartley act
outlawed the spending of labor un-
ion funds for political purposes, the
unions have been busy setting up
special agencies through which they
can apply political pressure in 1948.
Most recent such political league
has been organized by the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists.
QANI); it is called the machinists'
non-partisan political league, and
will laid working people exercise
their right to vote more effectively"
according to Harvey w. Brown,
lam president.
In 1948 it will concentrate on re-
placing the pro-employer Taft-Hart-
ley congress with one composed of
those who will consider the interests
Of all groups in our country rather
than the narrow interests Of a single
group"
Other leagues of similar political
bent are the CIO political action
committee, the AFL labor's educa-
tional and political league, the rail-
road unions railway labor's politi-
cal league and the communication
workers group.

WAGE DRIVE:
Third Round

Since there apparently is no way
Of eliminating imitation in the fore
seeable future, the CIO decided, the
best thing American labor can do is
to string along with it.
That was the philosophy behind
CIO President Philip Murray's an
nouncement that the labor organi-
zation would seek general wage in
creases for its six million workers
in basic industries.
It presaged a new series of labor
difficulties which probably will
reach a crucial peak next March
and April. More than that, it was
the development most feared by
economists frantically trying TO
combat inflation-official launching
Of the third general round of wage
demands since the war.
Murray, seeking to justify the de-
cision, claimed that since the war
workers had suffered net loss Of
18 per cent in the purchasing power
Of their weekly earnings despite
wage increases.
He added, in tone Of disillusion-

cally the Roberts national security
committee at length when it was
formed. There are many other
prominent Supporters.
Senator Taft Is definitely op-
posed to universal military
training, which he groups with
other controls" which are OBJ
jectiOnable to him.
Opposition may be considered
strong from the extreme right and
the extreme left. It is hardly likely
that Representative Vito Marcan-
tonic, who has the support of Com
munists in New York, would vote
for UNIT.
Outside Of congress, the church
organizations and a large army of
mothers are opposed. The only way
their view can be changed, UNIT
supporters say, is to convince them
that our boys will be safer trained
than unframed, that in every war
we have had to have a trained citi-
zen army in the end. Twice while
we waited to train it, thousands
died, and some went into service
without proper preparation.

WARFARE:
Plastic Tanks

Tanks, as we know them, may be
for the memory only in a few more
years if the prediction Of Maj. Gen.
James M. Gavin is sound.
In the event of another war tanks
made largely of plastic and light
enough to be flown from one front
to another will play decisive role,
the military expert said in a copy
righted article in the Armored
Cavalry Journal.
Gavin, who commanded the para
chute assault troops in the Nor
mandy invasion, said the heavy
tank Of World War II is so outdated
it belongs in the Smithsonian in
stitution."

that will enable us to fly everything

fields has been slowed. The public
has become aroused to the dangers
threatening our Schools" was the
committees conclusion.
At the same time, however, the
report warned that upward progress
must continue, and that to consider
the educational crisis as thing Of
the past would be premature.
Among the accomplishments list
ed for the past year were:
The largest teachers salary in

Z A number of states have lib

and sick-leave provisions and re-
duced the teaching load.
But the committee did not mini
mize the fact that there were prob
lens still to be solved. For one
thing, the rise in cost Of living has
more than eaten up the advance in
teachers salaries, and workers in
many fields still earn more, on the
average, than teachers.

ClOIl VI LuC POWOA
ful national security committe'
headed by former Justice of the Su
preme Court Owen J. Roberts. Thl
committee, form e d about tw'
months ago. is an offshot of an ear
lier citizens committee headed b!
Justice Roberts which unsuccess
fully urged passage of a universe
military training bill through the
last session of congress. Like the
earlier group, the purpose OF thi!
national security committee, com
posed of veterans groups like the
Legion and VFW as well as the ma
tional chamber of commerce. Ro
tary clubs and the League of Womer
Voters, is to coordinate efforts tt
get universal training enacted into
law.
The interesting thing about the re
newed drive for military training
as the men who have negotiated
American foreign policy interpret it
is that UNITS military function i!
secondary. Let me explain it thi:
way:
Granted that the Kremlin poi.
icy is a lOng-range plan of active
aggression whose most immedi-
ate goal is to get control over as
many nations or as much dis
puted territory as possible, and
absorption of control over Ger
many as its chief goal.
Granted that communism in
Europe at this writing is on the
defensive and will be even more
so If the European recovery
plan succeeds. Meanwhile, the
Russians will take every step
short of war.
Granted that Russia does not
wish to fight a war at present.
Russia knows we know that. But
Russia knows that we not only
do not want war, she also knows
WE COULD NOT FIGHT ONE,
not only because we have only a
handful Of troops on the con-
tinent "a force greatly Outnum-
bered by the Red army but be-
cause we are woefully unpre-
pared.
Therefore, the Russians know
they can 60 much further in
their "cOld war" than they 9TH
erwise could. They can play
their ObstructiOniSt game in the
foreign ministers conference
and in the United Nations, carry
on active propaganda against us
along the periphery of their sat
elites and even ACTIVELY
All armed forces within nom
satellite border states as they
are doing In Greece.
The Russians feel they can
take this course because they
believe that the American peO-
pie themselves will not back any
threat to their (SOviet) aggres-
sion, nor, they think, will Amer
lea support any step to strength
en- the military machine of the
United States.
That is the reason the hand of oul
pelicy makers would be great.
strengthened if universal militar.
training were established here be
cause it would show that America i!
really backing its diplomats.
Of course, the argument that
. strong military organization
prevents war because it reduces
the chance Of attack Is an old
one. But under the peculiar in.
ternatiOnal situation which ex-
lists today, 1t is probably more
aearly true than ever before in
history.
Whether or not a bill authorizing
universal military training is passe'
at the coming session depends Of
