Short 100, ,OOO, 900 Homes

The housing problem has become an international issue. It has reached the United Nations and has top place on the agenda of the forthcoming meeting of the So- cial Commission of the Economic and Social Council.
 In a report released this week, the social division estimated a world shortage of more than 1O0,- 100000 homes and declared that there is no social problem more ur- gent than that of obtaining healthy and comfortable houses for the homeless.
 As a matter of fact, this is the core of the social problem, it was stressed.
 Preparation of practical housing programs looking toward world wide cheap building policies" was recommended.
 The most striking thing about this worldwide housing debate is that the United States, with all its wealth and resurces, has not been

with enacting the Presidents pro- gram as whole, or will it ignore the constructive portions of 1t and adopt legislation far more restric- tive than the President suggested? Second, how far does the President intend to carry the fight for his program as a whole?
 The reaction of Republican ma jorities in Congress to the Presi- dents message indicated that they will not halt the crack-down drive against labor. Even before the President appeared before Con- gress, the Republican Legislative Conference voted for immediate passage of the obnoxious Case Bill with new and even more stringent sections, including provision ban- ming organizational strikes.
 At the same time, the Presidents plea for wider social security, health insurance and a higher minimum wage apparently fell on deaf ears.
 Senator Wiley, of Wisconsin, voiced the views of the antilabor group when he characterized the Presidents recommendations as mot punitive, but puny."
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-01-25

Joining in the condemnation of jurisdictional strikes, MT. Green said the question of whether prohi- bitory legislation is the answer to the problem will require further study. He said the other legisla- tive recommendations also will have to be carefully Scrutinized.
 2. Extension of the facilities within the Labor Department for assisting collective bargaining. MT. Green said the AFL has always favored this, but Congress has per- sisted in treating the Labor De- partment as a "stepchild" of the government.
 3. Enactment of broader social se- curity benefits, a national housing program, a national health insur- ance system and flair" minimum wage. The AFL has consistently urged such legislation, MT. Green said, but Congress has ignored the workers needs.
 4. Appointment of joint com mission composed of 12 members of Congress and eight representatives of the public, labor and manage ment, to study how nationwide strikes in vital industries can be avoided, how collective bargaining processes can be improved and to probe the underlying causes of la bor-management strife. MT. Green pointed out that the AFL Executive Council had endorsed such study a year ago but Congress failed to authorize it.
 Before making any new commit ments, MT. Green emphasized or ganized labor will have to give due weight to two big questions. First, will Congress content itself

Governors Sound Warnings Against Anti-LabOr Laws

This is the time when legisla- lures are meeting in the great ma- jority of states. In many, the gov- ernors have already submitted their recomm endations and 1t is interest ing to note that, so far at least, the majority have recorded themselves against anti-labor legislation. For example, Governor Earl Warren of California, who was elected on both the Republican and Democratic tickets and who has been suggested as G. O. F. standard bearer for president in 1948, urged that in the field of industrial dis putes the legislature confine itself to strengthening the states media ton services.
 Our major effort should be to promote free collective bargaining and the avoidance of war of legis- lation between management and la- bor," he said Such policy, he added, paid dividends" during the war and should do the same in peacetime.
 Backs Health Insurance Warren also served notice he would renew his fight for state health insurance system. Rising hospital and medical costs make it urgent, he stressed, for the state to set up a plan of prepaid medical care which twill enable every workingman and woman in the state to obtain adequate care for his or her family"
 Likewise, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, who is also a prospective G. O. P. presidential candidate, told the Empire State legislature in his opening message that "the labor policy of this state rests on a maximum of voluntary mediation and a minimum of gov- ernment compulsion."
 "This policy has promoted free collective bargaining" he said. "It has been widely successful in pre- venting strikes and violence. We propose to continue this policy"
 Sigler Hits Anti-LabOr Laws
 In Michigan, Governor Kim Sig Ter, a new star in the political Armament condemned restrictive legislation aimed at labor, insist ing that the states responsibility should be limited to assisting man. agement and labor to solve their mutual problems" Toward that end, he urged strengthening the State Department of Labor and In- dustry.
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-01-25

AFL President William Green promptly hailed these principles and declared the objective of in- dustrial peace, sought by the Presi- dent, should be endorsed by all the American people"
 He promised to submit MT. Tru- mans specific proposals to the forthcoming meeting of the AFL Executive Council which opens on Jan. 29 in Miami.
 A summary of the proposals, to- gether with MT. Greens reaction to them, follows:
 l. Legislation to ban ''indefensi- ble" jurisdictional strikes, second ary boycotts for "unjustifiable" objectives and modified compulsory arbitration of disputes on inter pretation of existing contracts.

By GEORGE A. BENSON

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The ma
jority leader of the House of Re-
representatives., Charles A. Halleck, is
right.
The foreign policy of the United
States, more than ever, has a ire
mendous impact upon the nations
economy. 1t bears directly, with
mounting cost to the taxpayers, not
alone upon the public debt, but on
the cost of living. Prodigious ex-
ports of food, clothing and other es-
sentials of foreign relief add great
ly to the prices American consum-
ers must pay.
Halleck acknowledges, of course
the constitutional right of the Presi-
cent, through the State Department
to determine the nations foreign
policy, and to adopt any program to
implement and effectuate it. He ack-
nowledges the Senate's constitu-
tional right to implement such poll
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1947-08-08

cy by ratifying or rejecting treaties.
But Halleck also points out ano-
Their very significant and very I'M
pOrtant right, to wit, the right OF
the American people to be fully in
formed at all times, not alone as to
policy, but also as to it's impact up
on their economy.
That is why he demands that
House leaders, who are responsible
for the PRONUNCIATION and adoption
Of national programs affecting the
raising and spending of Govern
ment funds, be fully informed from
inception to completion of all fore
ign relief plans.
Therefore, he feels that the House
should have an effective voice III
the determination of foreign policy
He knows, for example, that en-
unication of the Truman doctrine
with respect to Greece and Turkey
long after it had been preached in
diplomatic channels, affected the
Houses determination to make very
substantial cuts in the President
budget. He knows that the Marshall
plan contemplates the expenditure
of prodigious sums of taxpayer
money.
In other words, the House, as re-
preventative of the people, wants nc
more conformation by the White
House of policies considered anC
adopted in secrecy, long before the
effect on American economy haC
been determined.
That is what the American people
want, too. They know what the Sc
cret agreements entered into at Te'
/ heran and Yalta are now cOstins
them, not only in money, but partl
cularly in the danger to lastint
peace. The Truman Doctrine, the!
know, was proposed and adopted II
