Labor'S Foreign Policy

European recovery program from the review agency for the

If this is his theory needs correction Not only does the
American worker stake foreign policy, the

Prime example Greece There the trade union movement
was as poorly oganzed as unaccustomed to collective bargain

labor advisors the u s. mission has played vital role
bringing a real union movement into being.

Deweys running mate, Gov. Earl Warren,
IS mighty political brain in his own right In
Hartford, Conn, Warren declared that the way
10 avoid another depression and economic dis
aster is thru hard work and thrift Now, let's
not De petty about this thing And certainly
let's not be vulgar enough TO suggest that some
body tell Warren that during the past two
years OF Republican initiation wages have in
creased only 29% while corporate profits
yeah even after taxes) have increased 11O%
Or that the nations wage earners have been
forced to cash in 89@s of their War Bond saw
ings Or that the cost of living has far out
stripped wage gains every morning the Ameri-
can worker opens his newspaper Thrift" -
that's what Warren wants from the wage earn
er. The very least that labor can do to prove
Its gratitude for the lesson that Warren has
taught us is to be very thrifty and economical
IN the number of votes we waste on both War
ren and his running mate.

LET'S" Check On Expenses

During the first six months of 194S the
House Un-American Activities Commit
tee spent three times as much money as
was used by the House committees on
Education and Labor, Veterans Affairs,
Agriculture, Armed Services and Foreign
Affairs And the Appropriations Commit
tee was the only House group with
larger staff than the Un-American Com
mittee, which has 81 employees.
We'd say that every penny has been
spent if the Un-American group had made
any real progress toward strengthening
our democracy, making our civil liberties
more secure or equipping the public with
weapons with which to effectively COM
bat Communism.
The committee can be given credit for
none of those things.
But it must be credited with striking
a powerful blow at the liberalism which
brings progress II must be credited with
character assassination. II must be cre-
dited with stupidity.
AT this point we pause TO ponder
whether this editorial will result in our
being listed as "No. | Subversive" by
the committee about which we're talking
despite our long ti-Communist record.
1t wouldn't surprise us much IL we
were!

What Communism Is Doing
To The People of the World

To The People of the World
In Czechoslovakia, Catholics
are denied the privilege of a
Catholic marriage which to
them means the same thing as
being denied the right to vote
a democratic ticket, means to
us. The Russian rule cabinet,
also has made the rule that
men are no longer the head of
the household. Wives will be
permitted to keep their maid
en- names if they so wish. I'm
der the new law Catholics
would be able to be married
by priest only after they
have been married by a COM
munist appointed state Off
cial, and the religious cere-
mony would not be recognized
by the government.
Thus, the government NOV
ed to force Czechoslovakia
Catholics - who make up
seventy percent of the popu-
lation - to finance the break
ing of homes by recognizing
divorces because state lawyers
have concluded that it is un-
necessary to preserve mar
riages where there no longer
is any internal unity. T h / S
causes aduletrous relations be-
tween partners divorced from
their real husband or wife.
This may seem difficult for
you to understand, but the
laws are so very much more
strict then they are here in
the United States for the sim
pie reason that we have all
denominations, races and
creeds, where as in the other
countries they usually have
one race and not more than
two creeds.
In China terrified refugees
are telling a weird story, but
are recognized as true stories
about the communist-captured
Chahar province. They are de-
Stroying any and all civiliza-
tion that lets them get a toe
hold. They Immediately form
mob trials after they gain con-
troll. They organize what they
call the poor mans club,
among the people who own no
land. Then they are ordered
to bring the land owners to
trial. These trials are nothing
but highly organized lynch
ings of which the land owners
were robbed off their proper
ty and more likely as not,
murdered.
The poor people thought
that they were going to get
possession of the land owners
property. They reckoned with
out the deceptiveness of the
communists.
The Poor Peoples clubs are
not in exiStance today because
in there place they have form
ed the ew Peasants clubs
which for their motive is to
destroy the poor people. The
new clubs are organized from
the remaining land owners,
and the people who were rob-
bed by the poor peoples clubs.
This time its the poor people
that are on trial, the charges
being that they have enough
to eat. Any body that has
enough means to have a full
meal of millet and potatoes,
goes on trial. The communist
merry-go-round goes round
and round, while the people

Bys Les Finnegan, Labor Press Associates
It's important to interrupt just for mo-
ment or two, the memorial meetings that are
being held by unions throughout the country
on Rep. Fred Hartley.s decision not to run for
reelection in November. We've said lot of
harsh words about Mr.. Hartley but now we've
got to admit that the guy is just victim of
coincidence. On Sept. 26 Hartley got into the
headlines by demanding that industry-wide
bargaining be outlawed. On Sept 27 Hartley
got into the headlines by demanding outright
repeal of the Walsh-Healey Act which sets
minimum wages on government contracts. On
Sept % Hartley got into the headlines by de-
manding that commercial airlines pilots and
other employees be removed from the jurisdic-
ton of the Railway Labor Act and put under
the Taft Hartley Act On Sept 20 Hartley
got into the headlines by demanding a special
session of Congress to deal with the West
Coast maritime strike. We've said that Hartley
was a victim of coincidence Can you doubt it
when Rep. Hartleys book, "Our New National
Labor Policy" was published and advertised
on Sept. 80?
Rep. Hartley's first book (nobody in Wash
ington doubts that he really wrote it himself,
because he had previous experience in writing
the District of Columbia boxing code) pro-
poses among other things that unions be SUBJ
jected to the federal antitrust laws and that
Congress should quickly enact a "right-to-
scab'' law. Funk WagnallS, the dictionary
boys. published the book and its advertising
gives one clue to why Hartley isn't running
again. Hartley gave Funk & Wagnalls per-
mission to cite him in the ads 'the man
most responsible for the development of our
new national labor policy" That's filthy
trick to play on Sen. Taft on top of the kick
in the teeth he got from the Republican con-
vention in Philadelphia Taft may never be
president, but he'll make damn sure that Hart
ley-if Dewey becomes president-never be-
comes Secretary of Labor. And that's been
Hartleys burning ambition. And speaking of
Funk & Wagnalls dictionary, maybe every
unionist in the country who owns one will
want to look up the definition of the word
"stinker"
Soviet Russia, with a perfectly straight
face, has demanded that the United States lift
its ban on strikes in Japan. The most explo-
sive thing that ever happened in the history
of world diplomacy could occur if our State
Dept abandoned for moment all the niceties
of verbiage and protocol and made this 12-word
reply: Sure, as soon as you lift the ban on
strikes in Russia"
