IT'S UP TO US.

Today it doesn't require gen. jus of a Barney Baruch to look into the future and see that Amer ica faces a great crisis. It doesn't require the wisdom of solomon 10 know that if present conditions continue we are headed right into a deep and shocking depression So great that it might affect the fun damental pattern of our economy, and hence the entire future of the nation.
 Neither does it require any spe- cial brand of genius or wisdom to know that we Americans could effectively correct the present conditions. We can, if only we would, prevent a serious depres- sion for many years. But it needs

59,893,O0O Jobs
(Rocky Mountain News)


 THE CENSUS BUREAU reports that civilian en- ploymen in the United States to a-time high Of 53,33O,00 in May-a gain of about and one-haf million over April.
 In addition, there 1,470,000 men and women in the armed forces So that altogether 59000 900 Amer cans held paying jobs last month In only few months during the war; when the army and navy inn mensely larger has that total ever been exceeded. In April there had been decline of employment and gloomy prophets had regarded it the signal of cession beginning, if not something worse. But May brought an increase of about and onehalf million in civilian job holders
 Seasonal demand for farm workers to be sure, ac- counted for million of these but half million of the gain was in industrial business and other nonfarm ployment.
 And, although the countrys labor force expand ed in May by than million people looking for temporary summer jobs unemployment of civilians de- creased by 450,000
 This may be sad news to Uncle Joe Stalin and some his friends in this country, who are counting upon trouble in the U. S.
 But to most of us think, the Census Bureaus fig ures will be welcome evidence that rumors of inn mnent collapse of the American economy are to put it conservativey, premature.

4 Socialist Challenges Henry Wallace
(The Denver PoSt)

(The Denver Post)
 THE CAMP-FOLLOWERS of Henry Wallace usl- ally ascrbe opposition Russia to the fear of social revolution held by :reactionares"
 But Norman Thomas, Socialist when Henry Wallace was Republican Ca largely forgotten chapter in tn IoWans career) scarcely be called "reactonary Thomas is pacifis ardent champion of liberty and the perennial Socialist candidate for President of the United States.
 Thomas hates war and all things military with pas sion that is famous Certainly "war-mongering mo- tives may be charged to him. Hence it will be interest ing to see how Henry Wallace Wigges out of the ques tons which the unreactonary Thomas has propounded
 In open letter Thomas has pressed Wallace for answer to these questions
 Do you reject the theory that Communist tOtatar- ianism using the Red and its other army, the n ternational Communist movement is relentlessly, pa tiently and boldly seeking world power?
 lf you reject this theory what grounds do you plain the Russian tactics in Korea Manchura the Bal kanS, Hungary, Austria and Germany-Or the Com munist party policies thrOughOu the world?
 How do you disnguish-eXcept in respect to rac- sm-between the tactics of Fascist and Communist to- taitarianSm? Are they similar in cruelty and de- nal of liberty?
 Do you deny that Stan has as many or more slaves in work camps than Hitler had? That he is destroy ing the little Baltic peoples much Hitler sought to destroy them That his dictatorship primarily respOn- Sibe for the wholesale deportation after over of as many millions of men, women and children Hitler expelled from their homes in the midst of war?
 On the record Of Ieheran, Yalta and POtSdam, why do you put much faith in personal meeting between Stan and Truman?
 Isn't it fantastic nonsense to propose Economic cooperation, loans and the pooling of oil reserves) without stopping the armaments race? Why release money and for possible Soviet bloc to use against us.'
 These questions propounded by man with a longer-standng concern for the common man" than Wallace claim And they cannot be answered in the misty gobbedy gook with which Wallace has responded when he has been asked virtually these questions by others.
 Wallace has sought to make honest liberals believe that Russian Communism is an expression of progress sivis But the liberal Norman Thomas spots the wolf beneath the sheep's hide.
 Thomas, of course knows the intolerance of Russian Communists for any brand of socialism except their It has long been established that the Communist hatred of reactonares is than equaed by their hatred of liberals.
 Libertarian Socialists have not missed the signifi- canoe of Pravdas recent attack the SociaDemocra and Agrarian parties of Europe
 Socialist Thomas has performed a great service in directing the attention of liberal minds to the real between Russia and the United States It is not Capital ism versus Socialism. It is totataranist human

uuired brand of bold, courage ous, fortnight, non-political ex- ecutive leadership beyond any thing Washington seems likely to display.
 In the second place, 1t would necessitate lot of new, daring, venturesome, resourceful indus trial activity which because of unfavorable tax rates, industrial strife, and general want of vision, we selmon see. In the third place, it would require from labor lead CTS in general very genuine, honest, sincere, and effective ef- fort to remove all practices and policies that hinder maximum production per man-hour, and that needlessly add to the cost of goods, construction, and so on of which we likewise see but little.
The Nome nugget., 1947-06-30
A Simple Formula

These lower prices, in the third place, would increase demand for our goods. American industry has, more nearly than that of any other nation, reached the mass markets. Our industry has produced goods that make the least of us veritable kings. And the end of this is mo- where in sight. This would also permit expansion of foreign mar kets, so soon to be needed. Full production would make our econ- omy so healthy that employment and high national income would continue for many years.
 This advice sounds extremely simple, and it is just that simplic- ity that makes the formula worthy. This simple. formula for prosper ity of the entire nation requires only honest, intelligent, unselfish, courageous citizenship and leader ship. May God raise up the lead ership for the sake of this nation, our posterity, and the world. May we, individually, exercise the in- telligent citizenship the days ahead will require.

Toward Real Raises

These three steps would bring about three conditions necessary if we are to prevent depression, unemployment, and med'oc~'ty. One of the first things this for mula would lead to would be real understanding and cooperation between industry and labor, which is an essential to tle continued welfare of this nation. We have not fooled ourselves into the fool ish belief that these two great segments of industry must ever be at cross purposes.
 In the second place, these things would lead to an increase of at least 40 per cent in actual amount of goods produced without in- creases in labor costs. At the same time there would be no de- crease in rateeof wages earned. This would rapidly increase the effectiveness of competition and would bring cuts in prices ranging from 20 to 25 per cent, thus giv- ing a real raise in standards of living for the entire public, labor as well as all others.

British Election Shows People Have Lost Confidence

LONDON, (P)-Britain's major party leaders rallied their forces for a new period of intense politi- cal activity today as they took stock of returns from Saturdays municipal elections, which observ- CTS of all leanings agreed had re- suited in a. setback for the ruling Labor party.
 Complete returns from the 388 English and Welsh boroughs Vot- ing showed the Conservatives made a net gain of 621 seats and Labor sustained net loss of 652.
 Labor party leaders frankly ad- mitted that the outcome was dis appointing" and Conservatives acclaimed the result as a sharp swing to the right which showed the handwriting on the wall.
 Even the staunchest Conserva- tive organs, however, refrained to- day from backing editorially the demands of Winston Churchill and Conservative party chairman Lord Woolton for a national election to throw the Labor government out.
 The wartime prime minister last night proclaimed that the result deprives the Socialist Gabor) gov ernment of any mandate they ob- tained at the general elections" in 1945.
 "Henceforward," he declared, they will govern without the moral support and against the will of the people"
 Lord Woolton said that the cleo tions showed that "the voters of the country have no confidence in the government"

 Await Weather At Cold Bay

ADAK, (P) - Globe-gird i n g light plane pilots George Truman, 39, of Los Angeles, and Clifford Evens, 26, of Washington, D.

 From the Fort Randall army field at Cold Bay, the two plan D fly their 100-horsepower cub planes to Anchorage, then south ward to Annette Island near Ketchikan.
 Truman said on his arrival here late Friday after 312 hour flight from Shemya that he and Evans will attempt to reach Los Angeles nonstop from Annette, a distance of more than 1,700 miles. Their planes are equipped to carry fuel for 26 hours.

Missing Polish Leader Arrives In England
tBy Alex Singleton)

LOND ON, (P) - StanislaW Mikolajczyk. the Polish opposition leader who fled from Warsaw two weeks ago, has made his way to Britain by plane, a foreign office official notified a cheering House of Commons today. The British government has promised Miko- lajczyk sanctuary.
 Christopher Mayhew, undersec- retary of state for foreign affairs, said the plane carrying the 46 year-old leader of the Polish Pea sant party had landed at Mansion airfield, southeast of London in Kent county. There was no imme- diate indication as to the national ity or the type of aircraft in which Mikolajczyk arrived in Britain.
 Mikolajczyk'S whereabouts re- mained mystery until today. Ap- parently he fled Poland in fear of his life. Since his departure from his homeland with a party of seven friends his Polish Peasant party has been remodeled along lines favorable to Poland'S Com munist-led government. Inform ants in Warsaw have declared that Mikolajczyk's departure meant the end to organized political op- position to the present Polish re- gime.
 A Polish foreign min t r y spokesman announced in Warsaw today that a special Polish parlia- mentary commission was investi- gating the circumstances sur rounding Mikolajczyk's flight.

Quake Wrecks Two Towns In Peru

LIMA, Peru, (P)-Planes bear ing nurses, medicine and food were dispatched today to stricken areas in the mountains of Peru, where an earthquake shattered the peace of All Saints Day Saturday, killing at least 50 persons and re- portedly demolishing two Andes towns.
 Government officials said bad weather and quake-ruined run ways had prevented planes from landing in the affected zones, but added that if landings were still impossible today supplies would be parachuted.
 Poor communications from the isolated mountain area where the quake struck obScured details of the damage, but official dispatches said San Ramon and neighboring La Merced, both about l30 miles northeast of Lima, had been "to- tally destroyed" Each town has a population of about 5000
 Reports indicated that the heav- fest loss of life was at Satipo, 165 miles east of Lima, where dis patches said at least 40 had been killed and many injured.
 The Lima newspaper Fl Conner cio published a report by the may or of San Ramon that seven men had been killed and seven injured at San Felix, near San Ramon.
 The shocks, said to be the se- verest in the mountain region east of Lima, were felt $50 miles north in the area of QuitoS and 200 miles southeast at Ayacucho.
 In stricken Satipo the river and and resultant floods washed away a hospital.

Hughes Giant "Pile Of Lumber Really Flies

LONG BEACH, Calf. (P - Howard Hughes $25,00O,0O0 fly ing lumberyard has tested it's wings, and they work.
 Acting on impulse, the million aire Sportsman-film producer plane maker tool manufacturer took the 100000 pound plywood giant aloft yesterday at the end of what he earlier had announced would be a mere taxing test.
 The dark-haired 43 year old Hughes had made two taxi runs over the choppy surface of Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor while a throng of thousands ohed and ahed over the plywood goats i'm mensity. Then, on the third run, after its eight 5000 horsepower engines had speeded it up to about 100 miles an hour, Hughes eased back on the hydraulic con- trols, and the monster was air borne.
 "The buoyancy felt so good that I decided to take it up," Hughes grinned at an informal press con- ference immediately afterword.
 Some thirty of Hughes aides technicians, engineers and observ- ers-were aboard the plane, larg- est ever made, on its maiden flight.
 Tn the co-pilot's seat was Dave Grant, Los Angeles, Hughes chief hydraulic engineer. An observer
