An Important Contribution

Elsewhere in this of The Voice. there reprinted

soundy Christian principles the solution of the outstanding
problem of the America the issue of whether not

granted European countries for rehabilitation of their indus
tries and the relief from distress of their peoples
Had this editorial appeared any other character of pub
LEGATION and with the deeton of only two references to the
Catholic creed would have undoubtedly been called Com

true.

career? How else can one consider the Presidents
acts other than those of appeasement when it is
sidered that although industry is represented the
NLRB by two out of five members, LABOR DOES NOT
HAVE A SINGLE REPRESENTATIVE ON THAT
BOARD?
Further if Harry Truman such a good friend
of labor why then in this years state of the union"
message did he merely chide congress for enacting
the TaftHartley instead of coming fighting for
its repeal?
Finally, how can Murray, Green, Whitney ct al lend
their support to President who has consistently and
insistently demanded enactment of compulsory peace
time conscription? Have not they and the member
ships of their unions time and again overwhelmingly
rejected the proposal strikebreakng unionbusting
weapon-as a long step toward fascism?
Since there is considerable doubt as to the depth
OF the Presidents friendship for labor it would seem
that the nations labor leaders should move cautiously
on the presidential issue To do otherwise can lead
only 10 dlsunlty within the labor movement at time
when lack OF unity well mean certain disaster
In thls year of crisis labor leaders concentrate
all OF thelr efforts in bringing their memberships
militant realization that the complexion of the CON
gress must be altered radically Anything less than
